  Title (up) Aroha mai: Nurses, nursing and mental illness Type
  Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal University of Auckland Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Mental health; Nursing; Culture  
  Abstract This research takes an autoethnographical approach to exploring the connections between being a nurse, doing nursing work, and experiencing a mental illness. Data is comprised of autoethnographical stories from 18 nurses. Drawing on Lyotard's (1988) postmodern philosophy of 'regimes of phrases' and 'genres of discourse,' the nurses' stories yielded three motifs: Nursing, Tangata Whaiora (people seeking wellness) and Bullying. Interpretation of the motifs was undertaken by identifying and exploring connected or dissenting aspects within and between the motifs.

  Title (up) Constructing the “other”: On being a man and a nurse Type
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal University of Auckland Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Gender; Male nurses; Careers in nursing  
  Abstract This study explores the experiences of men who are nurses in Aotearoa New Zealand. Utilising discourse analysis a social constructionist reading of men, masculinity and nursing is provided to offer an alternative reading to much of the extant literature with respect to men in nursing. The study draws upon a number of different sources of “text”, including over 600 written works, two films and interviews with eighteen men who currently are, have been or are intending to be, nurses. Drawing primarily upon the “literary” textual sources a number of themes were identified for further exploration in interview with the co-researchers. These themes were the construction of masculinity, the construction of images of the nurse, the reaction to men who are nurses, sexuality issues, career development, and men and caring. The findings of this thesis reveal that the literature pertaining to men in nursing is replete with paradox and contradiction and fails to adequately account for the male experience. It is argued that the images and arguments provided in the literature with respect to men in nursing are based on out-of-date models and understandings of gender relations, masculinity and nursing. It is suggested that rather than enjoying patriarchal privilege, men who enter nursing must contend with being constructed as both an inferior man and inferior nurse. Their careers are not, as is alleged in the literature, based on developing “islands of masculinity” and male privilege, nor upon the avoidance of the emotional labour of nursing but reflect a belief that career is one way of doing care. It is argued in this work that men in nursing have fewer “taken-as-givens” upon which to base work and that they work to develop trusting relationships with their patients that are based on communication and empathy within a context defined by the patients' circumstances.

  Year 1984 Publication Abbreviated Journal University of Auckland Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The study gives an account of curriculum development and innovation in a New Zealand school of nursing and focuses on some aspects of the basic diploma course. The study attempts, through the medium of case study, to illuminate the way in which significant curriculum decisions are made and ideas translated into institutional and technical form. Evidence is derived from the recorded perceptions of the participants, observations, and analyses of documented material. The findings confirm that the field of study is complex, multivariable and dynamic, and that translation of the curriculum on paper involves a multitude of deliberative and factual decisions by practicing teachers

  Title (up) Graduate nurses' adjustment to initial employment Type
  Year 1987 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal University of Auckland, Auckland Institute of Te  
  Volume 14 Issue Pages 610-617  
  Keywords  
  Abstract An ethnographic study which attempts to understand what initial employment means to graduates from a comprehensive nursing course. The researcher participated in the first 3-4 months of the nurses' employment in general hospital settings. Five major themes emerge from the study indicating that the rhetoric practice of the school of nursing is different from the rhetoric and practice within general hospital settings. The reality of initial employment for the new graduated conflicts with the values and ideals of nursing promulgated by the comprehensive nursing course. The educational program stressed patient centred nursing, where nurses accepted responsibility for the continuing care of individuals. In contrast the hospital settings stress nursing as management of tasks across different patients. This conflict was a major source of frustration for the 'beginning' nurses. Ultimately they accept the reality of nursing as the management of tasks, but not without some personal cost. Orientation programs and the early employment period focus on 'fitting in to the system'. A significant determinant of the practice of new graduates are context effects such the time of their shift and the availability of experienced nurses. A number of management practices foster and maintain a beginning level of practice and new graduates have no opportunity to practice as autonomous nurses within a multi disciplinary health care team. Beginning practice is identified in new graduates through their difficulties in coping with unplanned or unexpected events. The initial employment period is dominated by shift work, resulting tiredness and adjustment to social activities.It is argued that management practices which support the ideals of comprehensive nursing courses and totally qualified nursing workforce have yet to occur. There are implications in this study for nursing education and nursing practice
