  Title Collaborative practice: A study in bridging the gap to transform the delivery of specialist palliative nursing care in residential aged care facilities Type (up)
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Rest homes; Palliative care; Older people; Nursing; Advanced nursing practice; Terminal care; Geriatric nursing  
  Abstract This paper documents a practice development initiative with the aim of formulating a rationale for the professional practice development of a relatively recently conceived nursing initiative; that of a Palliative Care Liaison Nurse (PCLN) role. The project involved conducting an inquiry through a search of the literature with the aim of discovering ways to articulate, then develop, the role to meet the needs of elderly people living in Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACFs), their family and the whanau. The paper initially explores the concept of liaison roles globally, to consider how this role might be located as an interagency position between palliative care and aged care within the context of Aotearoa/New Zealand. The paper then reveals the perceived skills and personal attributes required by a person in the PCLN role that the author, drawing from personal and professional experience of having been appointed to this position, considers are necessary to effectively manage the diverse dimensions of this role. Bridging the gap is a key role discussed which centres on the capacity to organise and present an effective education programme while supporting, encouraging and role modeling for staff providing the day to day nursing care. This role involves practice wisdom and advocating for change and tolerance within everyday practice. An example of this dimension is discussed in depth, because the researcher considers that through staff working together, they can effectively bridge the knowledge-practice gap which exists between specialist palliative and gerontological nursing care.

Author Lee, S.V. openurl 
  Title The advanced practitioners' guide to integrating physical and mental health: Introducing the role of the mental health consultation liaison nurse Type (up)
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Advanced nursing practice; Mental health; Nursing specialties  
  Abstract Evidence within the literature highlights that staff within the general hospital wards are not necessarily equipped to assess and meet the needs of patients with mental health or behavioural problems. The author notes that this is cause for concern as a number of people requiring admission to the general wards often have a complex, interrelated combination of physical and mental health problems. Within New Zealand there have also been a number of changes to health care policies that have increased general nurses contact with mental health patients over the last decade. The Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurse is an advanced nurse specialist who can meet this need. Having reviewed the literature and communicated with Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurses in New Zealand and Australia, the author says it is clear that the availability of a mental health nurse within the district health board general wards would be advantageous to all. The role has been shown to positively influence the care of patients and benefit other health care professionals. It provides an improved system of care that is co-ordinated, integrated and responsive to the needs of patients and health care staff. The implementation of the Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurse role has the potential to cut costs in relation to decreasing length of stay with untreated mental health issues, and reduce the cost of continued use of 'specialling' unnecessarily. Also of importance is the fact that such a position would assist the district health board to comply with the standards of health care provision as directed by the Mental Health Commission and the Ministry of Health. The author suggests that the introduction of the Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurse role represents a change in traditional ways of providing general nursing and consequently there are a number of issues that may hinder its success. This dissertation aims to increase the visibility of mental health nursing and provide a resource for others debating the development and implementation of the Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurse role.

  Title Anaesthetic nursing: Focusing perioperative practice on the patient Type (up)
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Nursing specialties; Advanced nursing practice; Nurse-patient relations; Nursing; Education  
  Abstract The purpose of this literature review is to generate a picture of what is known and what needs to be investigated further about anaesthetic nursing in the perioperative nursing role in New Zealand, and to examine this in relation to international trends. Nurse anaesthetists in the United States are described in American nursing literature, and recognised as one of the four advanced nurse practitioner roles. In New Zealand, recent efforts to provide appropriate post-graduate education for the perioperative nurse have been challenged by other inter-professional interests, thus restricting the development of an expanded role. The author notes that this has caused concern for New Zealand's perioperative nurses who consider anaesthetic nursing is an integral part of perioperative practice. Anaesthetic nursing forms a substantial component of the basic competencies required of a registered nurse working in the operating theatres. Orientation programmes and ongoing education at all levels of professional development incorporate anaesthetic nursing competencies to provide continuity of patient care and support perioperative practice. Care of the patient undergoing anaesthesia is an area where nurses demonstrate their advanced assessment skills and clinical judgement and is included in perioperative specialist or nurse practitioner job descriptions. The Perioperative Nurses Association in New Zealand is concerned to develop postgraduate education in their area of speciality to support their application for 'College' status within the New Zealand Nurses Organisation. For this to happen in a cogent fashion, information and knowledge generated from research, are required to clarify perioperative nursing's current position and determine how practice can be shaped to best care for patients undergoing surgical interventions. Evidence from research supports nurses in the anaesthetic role by demonstrating that the preoperative visits and assessments they undertake can reduce patients' anxieties, decrease the need for pain relief and shorten hospital stays. This review includes literature sources that explore disparities between the development of New Zealand anaesthetic nursing and international models. The author suggests that information and understanding gained from conducting this review will allow future developments in anaesthetic nursing practice to be informed by previous initiatives and projects and identifies areas for further research.

  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Mental health; Nursing; Policy; Registered nurses; Advanced nursing practice; Psychiatric Nursing  
  Abstract The last twenty years, particularly the early 1990s, ushered in major mental health sector reforms inclusive of deinstitutionalisation policies and subsequent development of community services. Concurrent changes to student nurses' education left registered nurses as the workforce mainstay on inpatient units. However, the author suggests, an emerging global shortage of nurses and implementation of the Employment Contracts Act (1991) negatively impacted on recruitment and retention of registered nurses. Inpatient nurses either left nursing or moved to community positions for better money and increased job status. The author suggests that, as a consequence, the 'critical mass' of experienced and skilled nurses who traditionally provided nursing leadership disappeared resulting in compromised standards of care for patients. As the manager of an inpatient unit, the author proposed the establishment of advanced nursing practice roles as one initiative to provide nursing leadership in order to attract and retain nurses. This study explored five inpatient nurses' perceptions of advanced practice and whether these roles could assist to provide leadership and improve standards of care. The research was a qualitative exploratory descriptive study using a focus group interview as the data collection method. A thematic analysis of the group discussion transcription revealed three key themes: 1) the 'makeup' of advanced nursing practice, 2) moving forwards: establishing roles, 3) moving sideways: barriers to role development. The themes are critically discussed in relation to selected literature. The thesis includes recommendations that could be used by nurses responsible for planning and implementing advanced practice roles on inpatient units.
