| Abstract |
The study was commissioned to define the role of Advanced Nurses Practitioner to inform the establishment of a clinical career pathway. Four new, loosely defined ANP positions were created and the role evolution over three months was described. The impact on the multidisciplinary team functioning was to be given particular attention. The research design was developed in collaboration with the ANP Project Team of the service. Data were derived from surveys of nurses in the units and other staff before and at the end of the 3 months period; interviews with the ANPs and official client advocates; daily journals and weekly logs kept by the ANPs; statistical records of patient loads and staffing. The findings presented the role as the interface of unit management and direct client care, with the ANPs orchestrating the activities of the unit. The ANPs developed the role differently according to quite distinct conceptualisations of nursing which influenced whether direct client care was pivotal or peripheral to the role. This had an effect on whether the strains of the service were seen as inhibitory of focal to the development of the ANP practice. There was little change in unit staff satisfaction. Attempts to incorporate client advocacy to determine change in client satisfaction were unsuccessful. The ANPs used the research as a process of role development |

| Abstract |
This report builds upon previous research undertaken in 1992 entitled 'the ethical preparation and practice of nurses: a pilot research project'. The overall aim was to compare new data with the results and tentative conclusions of the earlier research. Following two years of data gathering and analysis and discussions with diverse groups of experienced nurses, the conclusions of the earlier study were re-appraised in light of the contemporary developments in nursing ethics. The main conclusion of the research was that several nurses already possessed an ethic that was appropriate for their practice, but that it was unrecognised by other health professionals |

| Abstract |
This thesis presents a study of a nursing 'practicum' from the perspectives of nursing students and staff 'buddies'. A grounded theory approach was used to interview six nursing students during their transition placement, the final practicum of their Diploma in Nursing programme. Five staff nurse buddies selected by the students were also interviewed. An informal, conversational interview was used and data was analysed from an experiential learning perspective.This study differs from others because it focuses on the clinical experience component of nursing education, 'practicum', and includess practitioners viewpoints. At present there is a re-evaluing of experience within nursing education with a new emphasis on practice-based learning. Experience-based learning is becoming increasingly acceptable within academia as a 'seamless' education system evolves.I identified three learning stages which students' experience during practicum – initiation, exploration and consolidation. The key stage for learning through experience was exploration. Learning during this stage was predominantly buddy-directed which contradicted the self-directed curriculum design. Students and staff nurses however agreed that communication between them during this stage enabled the development of 'competence'.The learning /teaching approach used by the students and staff nurses made it difficult for students to translate their 'all-round' competencies during practicum. It is argued that it is the useof such competencies during practicum which enable nursing students to become autonomous in the attitudinal and epistemological sense. The predominantly 'technical training' approach adopted was understood by students and staff nurses to be reinforced by 'silence' from tutors.Restructuring gives the opportunity for nursing to develop an ';investigative', enquiry-based approach in practice. There will increasingly be an emphasis on practice-based research as a result of the implementation of degree and post-graduate programmes in nursing. This study highlights some aspects of nursing education and it's relationship with practice which can assist the development of such an approach |

| Abstract |
An exploratory qualitative study was investigated to further identify nurses'' attitudes to the care of people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immunodefiency syndrome (AIDS). This follows as a sequel to a study using questionnaire. Data collected from nine focus groups attended by a total of 29 nurses at a hospital within a new Zealand regional health authority. The principal findings suggest that nurses' attitudes to this patient group are varied and depend on social influences, personal experiences and the extent of knowledge regarding HIV/AIDS. Other concerns raised included nurses' rights to choose to care for HIV-positive patients and the issue of universal precautions. Theses findings may have implications for further educational initiatives and information of hospital policy |

| Abstract |
Because of concern about long-term complications of bjork flap tracheostomy we followed-up 136 intensive care patients who had Bjork flap tracheotomy in 1992 a median of 117 (range 5-402) hours after intubation. Twenty died in hospital, none as a result of tracheostomy. Twenty- six patients were lost to follow-up and eleven declined. The remaining 79 had measures of health status, a quality of life questionnaire, respiratory function testing and physical examination of the neck and upper airway 9-27 months (median 14) later. Various health status measures deteriorated in 9 to 51 of 77 patients. Forty-two of 77 patients were taking prescription medication and 15/32 smokers had stopped smoking. FEV1, FVC and FEV1/FVC were significantly reduced from predicted normal (n=70, 2.8+ 1.1 vs 3.2 +0.9 p<.0001, 3.7 + 1.3 vs 4.0 + 1.0 p<.0001, 76 +11vs 79 +3 p= 0.035 respectively). Pulse oximetry was normal (>92%) in 73/74 patients tested. The median horizontal scar dimension was 45mm (range 20 to 75 mm). Nine had a median vertical scar dimension 15mm (range 8 to 25mm). Nineteen scars were hypertrophic, 56 were tethered. Two patients had already undergone tracheal scar revision at follow-up and further 13 accepted scar revision. Ten patients had abnormal voice examination, four abnormal cough, two stridor, three vocal cord lesions, three tracheal polyps and fourteen asymptomatic tracheal narrowing from 10-60% (median 25%) of the tracheal luminal diameter. Patients surviving critical illness with bjork flap tracheostomy have reduced quality of life and respiratory function and poor cosmetic result but a low incidence of important airway problems |
