| Abstract |
Aim: To determine the feasibility of establishing a nurse practitioner-led, family focused, primary health care clinic within a primary school environment as an alternate or complementary way of addressing the health needs of 'at risk' children and families to the services already provided by the public health nurse.Method: Utilising needs analysis method, data was collected from three sources – known demographic data, 17 key informant interviews and two focus group interviews. Questions were asked regarding the health needs of the community, the perceptions of participants regarding the role of the public health nurse in order to determine if a public health nurse would be the most appropriate person to lead a primary health care clinic, and the practicalities of establishing a clinic including services participants would expect a clinic to provide. Analysis was descriptive and exploratory.Results: A wide range of health needs were identified from both the demographic data and from participant interviews. Findings also showed that participant's understanding of the role of the public health nurse was not great and that community expectations were such that for a public health nurse to lead a primary health care clinic further skills would be required. Outcomes from investigating the practicalities of establishing a nurse practitioner-led clinic resulted in the preparation of a community-developed model that would serve to address the health needs of children and families in the area the study was undertaken.Conclusion: Overall findings indicated that the establishment of a nurse practitioner-led, family focused, primary health care clinic in a primary school environment is feasible. While a public health nurse may fulfil the role of the nurse practitioner, it was established that preparation to an advanced level of practice would be required. It is likely that a similar model would also be successful in other communities in New Zealand, however the health needs identified in this study are specific to the community studied. Further community needs assessments would need to be completed to ensure health services target health needs specific to the communities involved. |

| Abstract |
When professionals are employed in bureaucratic organisations they can expect to experience incongruence between their professional role conception and the bureaucratic demands of the organisation which lead to their experiencing role deprivation. Students of comprehensive Nursing programs during their preparation are socialised into a role consistent with their professional group when employed in Hospitals, are subjected to its bureaucratic administrative structure This study examines problems experienced by graduates of these programs, the way they cope with these problems and the extent of their role deprivation, 6 months after commencing employment in General hospitals. The result obtained by questionnaire and interview indicate the main problems are related to the provision of nursing Care, the organisation of Hospital and Communication. These problems prevent graduates from functioning as professional Nurses. Almost half considered they have been successful in resolving them. All graduates experienced a considerable magnitude of role deprivation. there are implications both for agencies and for those preparing Comprehensive Nurses |

| Abstract |
A study to determine the content validity of an education instrument to assess the clinical competence of Comprehensive Nursing Students and the reliability of the Nursing Teachers using the evaluation instrument to assess student Nurses performance depicted on videotapes of simulated clinical situations. 24 of the Nursing Teachers in a school of Nursing rated student Nurses clinical performance in simulated videotaped clinical settings. One half of these Teachers assessed the students without a specific evaluation instrument and their assessments were compared with the Teachers using the existing evaluation for assessing Nursing students' clinical competence. The evaluation instrument was judged to be valid in terms of content by the Nursing Teachers taking part in the study. Rated reliability of observer agreement was not demonstrated with 24 Nursing Teachers rating 3 Nursing Students' clinical performance as videotaped in simulated clinical settings. The usefulness of videotapes for determining observer agreement and as a tool for use in staff training workshops, in relation to assessing clinical competence of Nursing Students is established |

| Abstract |
As the clinical consequences of power failure in intensive care are seldom documented we reviewed the effects of a power failure on patient care, outcomes and the adequacy of our disaster plan. We reviewed clinical records of all ten patients in our department during a 20-minute total hospital power failure, determined the impact of the failure on the therapies being given, and the costs of failed equipment. We assessed the departments disaster plan and identified the causes of the power failure.Nine patients were intubated; six ventilated (one receiving nitric oxide) and three receiving continuous positive airway pressure. Two patients were ventilated by Servo 300,? which continued on batteries, the other four patients were ventilated manually. Six patients were receiving nine inotrope infusions through IMED Gemini,? (battery life 30 minutes). One patient was receiving high volume ultrafiltration using a Gambro? haemodialysis system, which failed. Blood flow to prevent clotting was maintained by turning the roller pump manually. All networked monitoring (SpaceLabs?) failed and three haemodynamically unstable patients were monitored by transport monitors (SpaceLabs Scout?). No patient suffered any ill effect. Failed electronic circuits cost $NZ11,724. The disaster plan was implemented and functioned well. The aged cables supplying Auckland Central failed during an El Nino summer. The hospital generators, supplying power to the city grid, failed to switch over to the hospital. During power failure infusion pumps should be only for inotropes. We now have external 12-volt battery backup. With good pre-planning, safe intensive care continued during a short power failure |

| Abstract |
The focus of this study is the management of unsafe nursing students within the tertiary education context. The moral dilemmas experienced by nurse educators, specifically linked to the issue of accountability for public safety, are explored. The theoretical framework for the thesis is informed by the two moral voices of justice and care identified by Gilligan and further developed using the work of Hekman and Lyotard. Case study methodology was used and data were collected from three schools of nursing and their respective educational organisations. Interviews were conducted with nurse educators and education administrators who had managed unsafe nursing students. Interviews were also conducted with representatives from the Nursing Council of New Zealand and the New Zealand Nurses Organisation to gain professional perspectives regarding public safety, nurse education and unsafe students. Transcripts were analysed using the strategies of categorical aggregation and direct interpretation. Issues identified in each of the three case studies were examined using philosophical and theoretical analyses. This thesis explores how students come to be identified as unsafe and the challenges this posed within three educational contexts. The justice and care moral voices of nurse educators and administrators and the ways in which these produced different ways of caring are made visible. Different competing and conflicting discourses of nursing and education are revealed, including the discourse of safety – one of the language games of nursing. The way in which participants positioned themselves and positioned others within these discourses are identified. Overall, education administrators considered accountability for public safety to be a specific professional, nursing responsibility and not a concern of education per se. This thesis provides an account of how nurse educators attempted to make the educational world safe for patients, students, and themselves. Participants experienced different tensions and moral dilemmas in the management of unsafe students, depending upon the moral language games they employed and the dominant discourse of the educational organisation. Nurse educators were expected to use the discourses of education to make their case and manage unsafe students. However, the discourses of nursing and education were found to be incommensurable and so the moral dilemmas experienced by nurse educators were detected as differends. This study bears witness to these differends. |
