| Abstract |
Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic, systemic inflammatory disease of the connective tissues. People with rheumatoid arthritis often experience chronic pain, chronic fatigue and functional impairment for a large apart of their lives. The cause of rheumatoid arthritis is unknown, with three times more women than men being affected. There are many women who live with rheumatoid arthritis throughout much of their adult lives. Women with rheumatoid arthritis face the challenges and stresses of parenting, partnerships, and employment along with the need to cope with a chronic and increasingly debilitating disease.A review of the literature related to rheumatoid arthritis reveals a dearth of qualitative research, with few studies that focus specifically on women even though they constitute a significant percentage of the client group. Little is known from the clients' perspective of what it is like to live with chronic rheumatoid arthritis. This study, a single-participant case study using a phenomenological analysis, explores one woman's' reality of living with rheumatoid arthritis. As this woman's story unfolds, it is revealed how daily living with rheumatoid arthritis had been incorporated into a new way of being-in-the world. Her way of being-in-the-world is such that rheumatoid arthritis is very much a reality, impacting on most aspects of her life. Yet it does not dominate, as she continues with a very full and active life despite this disease |

| Abstract |
This thesis presents a grounded theory study following Glaser's methodological stance. It explores nursing of the 10-24 year old client through interviews with thirteen registered nurses. The participants worked in a variety of clinical settings including community, hospital and specific adolescent services. From the analysis of the data emerged the complexity of the nurses work with the chosen age group. The study identifies that the quality of the nurse/client encounter may enable the young person to feel accepted and to be empowered to make their own health choices.This thesis identifies how Having Attitude is seen by the nurse participants as critical in the care of the young person. Having Attitude is about the nurse balancing the dependence/independence needs of the young person with their family and peers, and about being acceptable to the client. This results from the work of the nurse which is characterised by the nurse being competent' and 'being supportive whilst taking into account all of the socio-political factors that effect the nurses working situation. The socio-political context impacts upon the young persons life in terms of the types of health issues they have, and the availability and affordability of appropriate health services. It also impacts on the environment in which the nurse works, in terms of the complexity of the concerns with which young people present, current health reforms and funding issues. The nurse needs to have a broad knowledge base and ability to work within a complex situation. Nurses believe they can make a difference to the young persons health experience when they are supportive, competent and have attitude |

| Abstract |
This study was conducted to investigate the practise of Nurses when working with depressed patients in an In Care setting. A survey of the literature shows that the role commonly prescribed for nurses who work in psychiatric settings is one that emphasises a one- on -one relationship based on models of psychotherapy and focuses on individual illness, pathology, systems and psycho dynamics. It is suggested that this is not a role which most Nurses working in New Zealand psychiatric settings would be able to implement in practise. Three perspective's of Nursing practise were explored in the study. What Nurses were seen to do in practice. What they thought they should do as evidenced in results of an exercise to rank different possible interventions, and what patients said were helpful Nursing interventions. A framework was developed for the study which depicts the process of helplessness(depression) as the negative 'mirror -image' of the process of self care. Results were analysed within this framework to determine whether or not Nurses tended to support behaviours which were indicative of movement towards helplessness or encourage those which indicated progress towards self care by their interventions. There was little evidence of positive reinforcement for independent or coping behaviours with patients in the study sample. Further, the nursing practise showed little relationship to the role prescribed in the literature. The Nurses did demonstrate a warm caring friendly approach that seemed to stem from a more traditional 'succouring, mothering' view of Nurses' role |
