Title  |
The scope of advancing nursing practice | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 1998 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 13 | Issue | 3 | Pages | 13-24 |
| Keywords | Nursing specialties; Nursing | ||||
| Abstract | An overview of the model of nursing practice and nurse roles derived through a programme of nursing research in the context of the changing New Zealand health system. The emphasis is on the complementary nature of the practice of family nurses taking a generic integrative service delivery hub role and the practice of other nurses advancing in specialist roles. Nursing care is presented as a professional, collective practice of registered nurses spread across all health service sectors and employment settings. Nurse roles are differentiated according to the interplay of two factors influencing the extent of practice autonomy the nurses assume (educationally supported) in responding to health need. A diagram depicts the interrelationship of competency and scope for the inclusive three different career trajectories of nurses advancing in practice. NOTE: This paper was published with an error in the title of the article (stated correctly on the journal contents page). An apology from the journal editor with an explanation of the importance of the use of the term ?advancing? and not ?advanced? was published in the subsequent issue (Nursing Praxis in NZ,14(1)). | ||||

| Title |
The successful design and delivery of rural health services: The meaning of success | Type | Report | ||
| Year | 2002 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Online on the Ministry of Health's Centre for Rural Health pages | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Evaluation; Rural health services; Primary health care | ||||
| Abstract | This is the report of the analysis of data from an in-depth survey designed by Sue Dawson, previously Rural Health Researcher in the Centre for Rural Health, and follow-up interviews. The study purpose was to construct a definition of “successful design and delivery of rural health services” as a step towards a measurement tool. Participants were grouped as general practitioners, nurses and community representatives. A format for a participatory approach to evaluation of rural health services is derived from the criteria of success identified, with its relevance for the implementation of the new Government primary health care strategy explicit. This format provided the basis for a subsequent evaluation case study undertaken in a small rural forestry township by the Centre for Rural Health. | ||||

| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Rural health services; Management; Primary health care | ||||
| Abstract | A report on the analysis of data from an in-depth survey designed by Sue Dawson, previously Rural Health Researcher in the Centre for Rural Health, and follow-up interviews. The study purpose was to construct a definition of ?successful design and delivery of rural health services? as a step towards a measurement tool. Participants were grouped as general practitioners (GPs), nurses and community representatives. A format for a participatory approach to evaluation of rural health services is derived from the criteria of success identified, with its relevance for the implementation of the new Government primary health care strategy explicit. This format provided the basis for a subsequent evaluation case study undertaken in a small rural forestry township by the Centre for Rural Health. | ||||

Thinking through diagnosis: Process in nursing practice | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 1986 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 1 | Issue | 4 | Pages | 9-12 |
| Keywords | Diagnosis; Nursing philosophy; Nursing research | ||||
| Abstract | A paper following on from the paper “Between the idea and reality” (Nursing Praxis in New Zealand 1(2), 17-29) proposing the focus for the discipline of nursing – practice and research – is diagnosis. For nursing practice, diagnosis is a practice that collapses “The Nursing Process”; for research to develop nursing practice, diagnosis is one continuous relational process that merges and makes the separate tasks od assessment, intervention and evaluation redundant. | ||||

To advance health care: The origins of nursing research in New Zealand | Type | Book Whole | ||
| Year | 2009 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | ||
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 129 pp | ||
| Keywords | Nursing Research Section, New Zealand Nurses Organisation | ||||
| Abstract | This book examines in detail the confluence of personalities and professional and practice agendas, out of which emerged the research section, intent on placing research at the centre of the profession's evolution. It provides a fascinating look at how a group of women, utterly committed to nursing, drove their research agenda and it expands understandings of why nursing research is significant for the development of nursing. It also provides an insight into that web of relationships between the professional body, NZNA, the Department of Health, service delivery and education.

| Abstract | This report presents the findings of the developmental evaluation programme for the three-year innovation project.

The form of healthcare the local people received, the nature of the nursing practice and role, service delivery and employment parameters required to support the nurses in practice are presented. The service configuration model subsequently gave the structure to Lake Taupo Primary Health Organisation with the hub of family nurses with a mobile comprehensive practice. | ||||
