Title  |
Nurses' early experiences with patient death | Type | |||
| Year | 2008 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 156 pp | ||
| Keywords | New graduate nurses; Terminal care | ||||
| Abstract | Chronic stress and 'burnout' have been extensively researched in nursing populations, but very little is known about the impact of specific acutely stressful or significant events. A novice nurse's first encounter with patient death may pose considerable cognitive, emotional and clinical challenges. Using a mixed methods design, this study explored the clinical circumstances, impact and challenges and rewards of nurses' early experiences with patient death. | ||||

National review of clinical training agency funded advanced mental health nursing programme | Type | |||
| Year | 1998 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | CTA – HFA – NZNO Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | In 1997, Advanced Mental Health Nursing Programmes were funded nationally by the Clinical Training Agency using the funds made available subsequent to the 1996 Mason Report. The training leads to an award of either a post graduate certificate or diploma awarded by a tertiary education provider.A review was conducted with the aim to monitor the impact on service provision of advanced mental health nurse practitioner training. This was done by obtaining feedback through using an agreed standard questionnaire from course participants and mental health service providers.In seeking to learn more about the impact of these programmes, the CTA identified the following key issues:- what effect the courses may have had on mental health workforce make-up, skills and retention.- perceptions of programme delivery and content.- the impact on service delivery.Overall findings are shared which highlight that the course was seen as well organised and participants and service providers would recommend it to their colleagues. The greatest effect of the course appeared to be in developing more understanding of clinical supervision. Participating in the course had also led to positive changes in relationships with the clients and colleagues for more than three quarters of the group.The provision of an Advanced Mental Health Nursing Programme in 1997 has had many positive effects. The funding strategy and delivery models that have evolved may provide a useful template for other nursing specialty areas | ||||

Midwifery as Feminist Praxis in Aotearoa/New Zealand | Type | |||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 323 pp | ||
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY 2003. This thesis highlights the ways in which the practices of contemporary midwives in Aotearoa/New Zealand are caught within the intersection of an array of competing discourses. The context for this is the reconstruction of midwifery in Aotearoa/New Zealand as an autonomous feminist profession founded on partnership with women. Interviews and participant observation with midwives, based mainly in one New Zealand city, are the basis of an analysis of the complexity of midwives? praxis as professionals. The analysis draws on insights from critical and feminist approaches to Foucault?s theories of discourse, power and the subject. It includes discussion of the conditions which came to produce and authorise the concept of ?partnership?. Which subjects can speak about partnership, and when? What claims are made about it? What challenges it? |

Methodological issues with case study research | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2010 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library |
| Volume | 1 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 9-11 |
| Keywords | Research, nursing; Research methodology; Study design; data analysis; Data collection methods | ||||
| Abstract | Case study research, as a qualitative methodology, attracts some criticism, especially related to rigour, reliability and validity. A New Zealand-based study that explored complex phenomena – flexible learning for postgraduate nurses – provides a practical example of how the case study design can address these criticisms. Through describing the mixed methods used, different sources and methods of data collection, and data analysis, the process of achieving data quality and trustworthiness are highlighted. | ||||

Maori nurses and smoking; Conflicted identities and motivations for smoking cessation | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| Volume | 4 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 33-38 |
| Keywords | Maori nurses; Smoking cessation; smoking; Qualitative research | ||||
| Abstract | This research aims to design and test the feasibility of an intervention promoting smoking cessation, and reducing smoking relapse, among Māori nurses who smoke. It is being conducted in two phases. Phase one, a national web-based survey, conducted in December 2012, explored the views of Māori nurses (smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers) regarding smoking. This paper reports on the analysis of qualitative responses from 410 nurses and nursing students identifying as Māori who completed an online survey. Five themes were identified: beliefs about smoking; ?for our tamariki?; personal stories of quitting; dissatisfaction with current approaches; and plans for future strategies. The findings confirm that nurses who smoke may experience feelings of conflict, and regard their behaviour as inconsistent with their role as nurses and health promoters. Nurses who smoke must be supported to become, and to stay, smokefree. Tailored Māori-specific cessation initiatives are needed. | ||||

Management perspectives of the second evel nurse | Type | |||
| Year | 1993 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | National Library, NZNO Library, | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | This study presents information, obtained from health service managers, on the present use and possible future use of second level nurses within the region encompassing the Wanganui, Rangitikei, Manawatu, Tararua, Palmerston North City and Horowhenua districts. “ Second level nurses” are currently known as enrolled nurses and, in accordance with Section 53A of the 1983 Amendment to the Nurses Act, are required to work under the direction and supervision of registered nurses or medical practitioners. Enrolled nurses are usually allocated less responsibility for nursing assessment and judgement than registered nurses.Management perspectives, from seventy seven health workforce managers, were sought in relation to the future workforce need, the scope and boundaries of practice, and the alternatives for the future educational preparation of second level nurses. Seventy two percent of managers said that they thought enrolled nurses were essential to New Zealand's future nursing workforce. They predicted increased opportunities for enrolled nurses in care of the elderly and community care settings. Patterns in the current workforce utilization of enrolled nurses, however, did not support these views.In relation to the education of enrolled nurses, managers indicated that hospital-based training was the most preferred option. However, managers asserted that, in view of the current lack of employment opportunities no more enrolled nurses should be prepared at the present time.Although questions about education were focussed on the educational preparation of enrolled nurses, many of the respondent managers also expressed opinions about the educational preparation of comprehensive nurses. As a result, an evaluation of comprehensive nursing programmes is suggested.While the numbers of second level nurses being prepared and used is decreasing, there is a concomitant increase in the preparation and use of caregivers. This rapidly increasing group isfast becoming a “cheaper” second level workforce. The increase in the use of caregivers is seen to result from the pressure on healthcare employers to reduce spending within the current highly competitive, de-regulated economy. Managers asserted that enrolled nurses are not cost effective in comparison with either caregivers or registered nurses.The study concludes with thirteen recommendations which are made under the following four groups;1. Manawatu Polytechnic – provider of nursing education.2. Healthcare employers – users of nursing education.3. Enrolled nurses – participants in nursing education.4. Professional nursing bodies – guardians of nursing education | ||||

Impact of the Christchurch earthquakes on clients receiving health care in their homes | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| Volume | 4 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 4-10 |
| Keywords | Stress Disorders, Post-traumatic; older people; disaster response | ||||
| Abstract | Eighteen months after the first of many large earthquakes, Christchurch-based home health care provider Nurse Maude surveyed staff to identify the impact on the well-being of their mainly elderly clients. Responses from 168 staff identified five key issues. These were: mental health, anxiety, and depression, symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); unsafe environments; loneliness and isolation; difficulty coping with change; and poor access to services. To meet the needs of clients in this challenging environment, staff felt they needed more time to care, including listening to stories, calming clients and dealing with clients who had become slower and more cautious. Damaged and blocked roads, and the fact that many clients moved house without warning, added to the time it took to deliver care in the home. This survey has helped Nurse Maude build on its initial post-earthquake responses to better meet the needs of clients and support health-care workers in this stressful environment. | ||||

Impact of Dialysis on Rurally Based Mäori Clients and Their Whänau | Type | |||
| Year | 2009 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 105 pp | ||
| Keywords | renal disease; hemodialysis; maori | ||||
| Abstract | A research portfolio submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Nursing, The University of Auckland, 2009 This paper is a report of a study seeking to understand the experience of New Zealand rural dwelling Mäori clients with end-stage renal disease who receive haemodialysis. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is related to lifestyle, genetic factors and environment, and Mäori are at higher risk of renal disease which results of need for renal replacement therapy to sustain their lives. Dialysis clients are a group of ?silent? clients under the care of the dominant health professionals. Adherence with therapeutic regimes has been a main issue for health care professionals and service delivery, as it directly contributes to the efficacy of the treatment and cost effectiveness. Mäori clients? experience of living with haemodialysis has not been explored. Although there are a number of studies describing the experience of patients living on dialysis so far, no studies have yet focused specifically on the experience of Mäori clients towards their renal replacement therapy. The continual demands of dialysis treatment are significant and given the high proportion of Mäori having dialysis. It is timely to explore the experience of Mäori clients and their family/whänau in order to understand the need for quality of care and to promote Mäori health outcomes in chronic kidney disease management |

How Culture Influences Choosing Nursing as a Career | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2012 | Publication | Whitireia Nursing Journal | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| Volume | Issue | 19 | Pages | ||
| Keywords | Careers in Nursing; Minority Groups; Nursing Shortage; Personnel Recruitment | ||||
| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to explore how young people make career choices and why young people choose or reject nursing as a career choice. This study has highlighted the complexity of this decision-making process, and the importance of making positive connections and offering appropriate support during this process. It seems that many young people are well equipped to make career decisions when given support. The need to recruit people from minority cultures into nursing is a global issue. This study also highlights the need for an inter-sectoral approach to raise the profile of nursing and make a career that is attractive to young people. |

Hardships and hurdles: The experiences of migrant nurses in New Zealand | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2010 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library |
| Volume | 1 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 4-8 |
| Keywords | Recruitment and retention; Personnel recruitment; Foreign nurses; English as a second language; Emigration and immigration; Bullying | ||||
| Abstract | The New Zealand nursing workforce is increasingly made up of overseas trained nurses. There is extensive literature from elsewhere in the world on the impacts of international nurse recruitment and migration on individual nurses and on health services. The literature also portrays evidence of abuse and exploitation, yet few studies are available relating to the experiences of migrant nurses in New Zealand. This research conducted a survey of overseas-trained nurses, specifically focusing on those nurses for whom English is not their first language, to understand the experiences and factors affecting migrant registered nurses in New Zealand. Given the importance to the New Zealand workforce of overseas-trained nurses, this research highlighted that more warnings and advice regarding recruitment agencies and information about nursing in New Zealand and the Nursing Council requirements for registration should be made available to nurses prior to their migration. Nursing leaders should be particularly alert to any evidence of bullying or discrimination based on race or overseas origin. | ||||
