Title Reflexivity and detachment: A discursive approach to women's depression Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication (up) Nursing Inquiry Abbreviated Journal
Volume 9 Issue 2 Pages 126-132
Keywords Gender; Mental health; Psychiatric Nursing; Culture
Abstract This paper explores a discursive approach to understanding women's depression by presenting the results of research into women's narratives of their experiences. The discursive approach taken acknowledges women's immersion in cultural practices that determine the subject positions available to them and places a value on attributes of reflexivity and detachment that are not usually associated with their performance. The social and cultural context of the individual's experience is significant because if the focus is simply on the individual this supposes that the problem lies solely with the individual. An understanding of cultural expectations and their relation to mental distress is important to mental health nursing practice. The psychotherapeutic relationship that is fundamental to mental health nursing practice requires an understanding of the meaning of individual's responses in their cultural context in order to provide facilitative and meaningful care for the women that they nurse.

Title A survey of mental health nurses' opinion of barriers and supports for research Type Journal Article
Year 2005 Publication (up) Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 21 Issue 1 Pages 24-32
Keywords Professional development; Mental health; Nursing research
Abstract This paper reports the findings of a preliminary survey of two district health boards, which shows that high workloads and lack of relief staffing appear as the greatest hurdles to mental health nurses participating in practice-based nursing research. A further constraint on their participation is lack of research expertise and experience. Consultative discussions with senior mental health nurses support these conclusions. In this paper, mentoring and flexible research designs are promoted as possible ways of overcoming these barriers.

Title Caring for refugees in emergency departments in New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication (up) Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 20 Issue 2 Pages 24-35
Keywords Emergency nursing; Culture; Mental health; Health status
Abstract This paper outlines some of the special health needs of people from refugee backgrounds who present in the emergency department, and the role of emergency department nurses in improving care for refugee and migrant peoples. Refugees and asylum seekers represent a significant proportion of attendees in emergency departments in Auckland Hospitals. Culture and ethnicity are a major factor to be considered in addressing the health care needs of this population. Other factors such as the physical and psychological sequelae of the refugee experience, health care experience prior to arrival in New Zealand, poverty, language, and the trauma of resettlement also have a major impact on health care seeking behaviours.

Title Initiating committal proceedings 'just in case' with voluntary patients: A critique of nursing practice Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication (up) Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 18 Issue 2 Pages 15-23
Keywords Patient rights; Law and legislation; Mental health; Nurse-patient relations
Abstract The authors report a clinical audit that, combined with anecdotal evidence, verifies the practice of putting section 8B medical certificates on the files of voluntary mental health patients at the time of admission. This is seen as a strategy to balance the requirement to support and promote the autonomy of voluntary patients with the need to protect those patients or other people. A conceptual analysis of these issues indicates that such a practice is both legally questionable and ethically inappropriate. The authors suggest an alternative framework for practice that is legally and ethically preferable for both nurses and patients.

Title Risk assessment of violence to others: Time for action Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication (up) Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 18 Issue 1 Pages 36-43
Keywords Mental health; Workplace violence; Risk management; Nursing; Nurse-patient relations; Psychiatric nursing
Abstract The author performs a literature search on the topics of risk assessment, dangerousness, aggression, and violence in order to determine an evidence-based approach to risk assessment of patient violence towards others. This is set in the context of possible expansion in the scope of practice of mental health nurses, and the prevalence of nurses being assaulted by patients. In the absence of reliable and valid nursing risk assessment measures, the approach suggested here focuses on the use of observation skills to detect behaviour antecedent to physical assault, and the ability to adapt evidence to specific clinical settings.

Title Treating depression during pregnancy: Cognitive behavioural therapy as a treatment option Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication (up) Vision: A Journal of Nursing Abbreviated Journal Available online from Eastern Institute of Technology
Volume 14 Issue 1 Pages 8-12
Keywords Pregnancy; Mental health; Stress
Abstract This article reviews the use of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for pregnant women suffering from depressive symptoms. CBT provides a structured, short-term, collaborative process between clinician and client, using strategies and techniques to identify dysfunctional thinking and beliefs, challenge and change these beliefs, then implement new rational beliefs and behaviours. A process of engagement, assessment and conceptualisation is followed by treatment planning and implementation, and modification of dysfunctional thinking and behaviours. Use of CBT to treat depression in women during pregnancy is supported by the literature, especially where pharmacological intervention is declined or contraindicated. Pregnancy can bring stressors that combine with biological factors and core beliefs to contribute to depressive symptoms.

Title Promoting well-being for Chinese international students in an undergraduate nursing programme: reducing culture shock Type Journal Article
Year 2017 Publication (up) Whitireia Nursing and Health Journal Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue 24 Pages 13-20
Keywords International students; English as an additional language (EAL); Culture shock; Acculturation; Mental health
Abstract Reviews literature relating to the experience of international tertiary students, particularly Chinese students, undertaking nursing education. Reports that international students cite poorer mental and physical health outcomes than domestic students, and that students with English as an additional language (EAL) experience culture shock, frustration and stress. Suggests that tertiary institutions need to supply targeted interventions for international students in language and cultural adaptation to promote positive acculturation.
