	Title	The personal safety of district nurses: A critical analysis			Type	Journal Article
	Year	2004	Publication	Nursing Praxis in New Zealand	Abbreviated Journal
	Volume	20	Issue	3	Pages	31-44
	Keywords	District nursing; Occupational health and safety; Organisational culture; Risk factors
	Abstract	A workplace safety study of district nurses in New Zealand was conducted to explore personal safety experiences. A qualitative methodology informed by Critical Social Theory was employed. This paper details the findings and implications derived from data collected from six district nurses in two urban New Zealand health services who recalled incidents in which they felt their personal safety was compromised. Data were collected through individual interviews and a focus group discussion with the participants. Data analysis revealed two-fold risks to nurse safety; these were associated with client behaviour as well as risks embedded in the organisational structure. The findings suggest a number of practical issues involving basic security measures require urgent attention. The complex power relationships that shape the experience of nursing in a community impinged on the ability of the nurses in this study to confidently and safely fulfil their role. An organisational commitment to a culture of safety would help address the powerlessness experienced by district nurses.

	Title	Vicarious traumatization: Relevance and implications for psychiatric mental health nursing			Type
	Year	2001	Publication		Abbreviated Journal	Victoria University of Wellington Library
	Volume		Issue		Pages
	Keywords	Occupational health and safety; Mental health; Psychiatric Nursing; Trauma; Nursing
	Abstract	This research project is concerned with the risk of vicarious traumatisation for psychiatric mental health nurses. Vicarious traumatisation is an occupational hazard that is largely unrecognised and unaddressed in the profession. The paper explores the nature of vicarious traumatisation, and its contemporary conceptualisation in the literature on helping-induced trauma. Findings from the literature search and understanding of the construct of vicarious traumatisation are considered against the essence of psychiatric mental health nursing, the therapeutic relationship and use of self, and the nature of daily practice. After consideration of the potential risk of vicarious traumatisation for the profession it is argued that it is a real risk and is likely to impact on all areas of psychiatric mental health nursing practice. Support for the position that vicarious traumatisation is not well recognised and understood is offered. The paper concludes with recommendations that psychiatric mental health nurses and the profession take serious note of vicarious traumatisation as a risk, and there is an ethical imperative for psychiatric mental health nurses to take measures to inform themselves of and engage in processes of risk management for nurses and clients.
