Abstract |
The function and implementation of clinical supervision in the practice setting presents a number of challenges for new graduate programmes for registered comprehensive nurses. There have been numerous reports and papers promoting its benefits as important and providing the impetus for change. Clinical supervision has been well established as part of social work, counselling, psychotherapy and psychoanalytic practice, and in mental health nursing and midwifery. Its utilisation for graduate nurses is clearly important and should be seen as integral to professional practice. This study evaluated a programme of clinical supervision as a component of a new graduate nurse programme in a secondary health care practice environment. The clinical supervision component aimed to support graduate registered nurses' transition from the role of student nurse to staff nurse in the context of professional clinical practice. This report is also intended to inform the ongoing provision of clinical supervision at Hutt Valley District Health Board. The evaluation process was guided by the work of Owen (1990) and used utilisation focussed evaluation as the framework on which to undertake the evaluation. A mix of quantitative and qualitative methodology was used to collect and analyse the data. Data were collected from nurse graduates of the new graduate programme using a postal questionnaire that covered three areas; clinical supervision, the Hutt Valley District Health Board new graduate programme and an evaluation of stakeholder roles. Twelve of the new graduates responded to the survey. Findings suggest clinical supervision provided professional support and assisted the new graduate in the identification of education needs. Difficulties associated with accessing the structured component of the new graduate programme and clinical supervision were highlighted. The recommendations made to Hutt Valley District Health Board to improve the programme include considering accessibility, consumer rights, acceptability, a comprehensive approach, the Treaty of Waitangi, efficiency and a coordinated approach. |

Abstract |
This research project explored nurses' perceptions of clinical leadership in mental health nursing practice. Within New Zealand no research exists that evaluates the role and impact the clinical leadership has in mental health nursing practice. From personal experience and discussion with colleagues the author argues that clinical leadership in terms of support and guidance for nurses is often minimal and that there is a relationship between qualities of clinical leadership and poor retention rates of mental health nurses. The prime objective of this study was to increase knowledge about clinical leadership in mental health nursing practice. This research used a quantitative descriptive methodology, utilising survey design. A questionnaire was used to rank the attributes of the person the respondents identified as a clinical leader. The data was collected from 30 registered nurses working in mental health settings within the central region of New Zealand. Findings indicate that there is room for improvement with regard to clinical leadership in mental health nursing practice. Clinical leadership is perceived to be more effective by nurses in their second year of practice and in community settings. A statistically significant difference was indicated between nurses in their second year of practice and nurses in their third year of practice in terms of their ranking of clinical leadership abilities. Overall the respondents perceived poor communication and poor attitude as the biggest barriers to effective leadership. Support and good role models were said to influence nursing practice positively and the skills that were identified as being helpful in assisting and retaining nurses were mentorship and good communication. The results of the study are discussed in relation to the literature on transformational leadership skills. Finally, the general limitations of the study are outlined and implications for future research are discussed. |

Abstract |
Critical Comparative Nursing Assessment (CCNA) is a theory about how the competence of completing Bachelor of Nursing students in New Zealand is determined. Semi-structured, audio-taped interviews and field notes were used to collect data from twenty-seven nurses with experience in undertaking competency assessment. A Glaserian grounded theory approach was used to guide the data collection and analysis. This utilised the processes of constant comparative analysis, theoretical sampling and saturation to generate a middle range substantive grounded theory. This is presented as a model consisting of four emergent categories that explain how nurses formulate professional judgements about competence. These are a) gathering, which describes the processes used to collect evidence of practice to inform decisions; b) weighing up, which explains how evidence is analysed using the processes of benchmarking and comparative analysis; c) judging brings into focus the tensions inherent in making professional judgements about competence and how nurses formulated these, and d) moderating, which describes the processes nurses use to validate decisions and ensure that professional responsibilities and public safety are upheld. The basic social psychological process of comparing integrates these categories to explain how nurses resolve the tensions associated with making decisions about competence. This research presents a new way of viewing and understanding how nurses assess competence. It identifies where the challengers and tensions related to the assessment of competence lie and suggests strategies that if implemented, the author suggests could further enhance the validity and reliability of assessment outcomes. |
