  Title In pursuit of the named nurse Type Journal Article
  Year 2000 Publication Australasian Journal of Neuroscience Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 13 Issue 4 Pages 6-9  
  Keywords (up) Advanced nursing practice; Hospitals; Evaluation; Nurse-family relations; Nurse-patient relations  
  Abstract This paper outlines the project outcomes, benefits, impact and constraints of introducing the named nurse concept to a neuro-services department. The concept of the named nurse was first introduced in the UK, in 1992, with the aim of supporting the partnership in care between the patient and the nurse. The evidence for the effectiveness of introducing the named nurse concept is largely anecdotal. In line with the hospital wide policy of implementing the named nurse concept at Auckland Hospital, a six-month pilot study was undertaken within the Neuro-services Department. The aims of the study were to foster a partnership in care with patients / whanau and the multidisciplinary team, to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of delivery of nursing care, and to contribute to continuous quality improvement. The results highlighted that, in theory, the named nurse concept would be effective in providing quality co-ordinated care, however factors were identified that hindered the effectiveness of its implementation. Therefore, further development of the concept was required.

  Title When an infant grandchild dies: Family matters Type
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal ResearchArchive@Victoria  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Grief; Nurse-family relations; Infants; Nursing research  
  Abstract This research undertaken by a nurse working with bereaved families, aimed to explore how grandparents, parents and health/bereavement professionals constructed grandparent bereavement when an infant grandchild died unexpectedly. The 26 participants, living in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, included 16 grandparents and 6 parents from 11 families, in addition to three health/bereavement professionals. A constructivist inquiry informed by writings on nursing, storying and postmodernism was used. Through an exploration of the methodological and ethical issues that arose and were addressed during the study, this work adds to knowledge of how constructivist inquiry can be used in nursing and bereavement research. In addition, the context of this research as a partnership with multiple family members contributes to the ongoing debate about whether participation in bereavement research may be harmful or therapeutic. Conversations in this research formed a series of interviews and letters, which led to the development of a joint construction and each individual's story. A grandchild's death was constructed as a challenge which grandparents faced, responded to and then managed the changes that arose from the challenge. The context of their bereavement was seen as underpinned by their relationship as “parents of the adult parents” of the grandchild who died. This meant that grandparents placed their own pain second to their wish to support and “be with” the parents. Outside the family was where many grandparents found friends, colleagues or their community forgot, or chose not to acknowledge, their bereavement. This work shows how some grandparents help to create a space within the family which maintains a continuing relationship with the grandchild who died.

  Title Family centred care in the newborn intensive care unit: Creating a supportive environment Type
  Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Intensive care nursing; Infants; Nurse-family relations  
  Abstract The environment of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a stressful one for families and is often designed to provide technical care for the infant rather than facilities that would enable and support parental and family participation in infant care. Furthermore, the author notes that the environment of the NICU emerged in literature as an obstacle to meaningful family involvement in care. However, she goes on to say that a philosophy of Family Centred Care in the NICU can offer a framework of care that supports family involvement in the infant's care and family presence in the NICU. It also promotes parental participation in decision-making for the infant and gives recognition to the importance of perspectives provided by the family. This dissertation explores the difficulties associated with the practice of Family Centred Care in the environment of the NICU. It offers recommendations for features of unit design that can promote Family Centred Care by supporting and sustaining the presence of families in the NICU and therefore facilitating their involvement in the care of their infant.

  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Intensive care nursing; Nurse-family relations  
  Abstract This study provides insight into the experience of being an ICU nurse and relative of a critically ill patient. Analysis of data from interviews of four ICU nurses who had experienced having a family member admitted to ICU brought up several themes. These included: a nurses' nightmare, knowing and not knowing, feeling torn, and gaining deeper insight and new meaning. Recommendations for organisational support for ICU nurse/relatives, and education for staff are made, based on the findings.

  Title The influence of nursing culture on family visiting in adult intensive care units Type
  Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Intensive care nursing; Nurse-family relations; Culture; Nursing  
  Abstract This dissertation considers the implications of the relationship between nurses and the patient's family, when family members visit intensive care units (ICUs) following the acute admission of a relative there. In particular it explores the issues of power and control, nurses might have in this setting, the culture that supports that, and the implications this has for practice in the New Zealand context. A comprehensive literature review on the perspective of nurses in relation to relatives visiting adult intensive care units was conducted. The author concludes that nurses modify policies related to visiting access for family members to suit themselves, and the needs of their patient. Nurses use a variety of tactics to maintain a position of power and control by looking out for themselves first, their patient second, and relatives third. The need of the patient and their families is not well understood by nurses, and nurses feel they have inadequate skills to cope with the needs and stresses of visiting relatives. The author suggests that for nurses to provide family focused care in ICU they must develop a therapeutic relationship with all concerned. ICU nursing culture affects nurses ability to focus on caring for their patients and their families. Nurses in ICU appear to need to maintain power and control over their environment but further research is needed to identify the current situation in New Zealand ICUs.
