Details how the author employed focused ethnography in her doctoral research to investigate nurses' and parents' experience of emotional communication in the context of a children's unit of a regional hospital in NZ. Interviews 10 parents and 10 nurses after the children were discharged. Validates the ethnographic method as a means of inspecting the hidden as well as observable aspects of nurse-parent interaction. |

Posits that nurse researchers present their findings as practice wisdom. Suggests that the significance of nursing lies in its knowledgeable practitioners and that the nursing voice is a collective one. Emphasises the need for a distinctly nursing perspective on health in NZ. |

Abstract |
This study explores the archetypal dimension of nursing reality in nurses' stories through a window of nurse-nurse relations. The thesis argues the existence of the unconscious psyche and its importance for nursing, and the study unfolds a methodology that attends to unconscious processes and is congruent with analytical psychology and its practice. It is a two strand inquiry informed by general hermeneutics and Jungian thought engaging a synthetic interpretive methodology using interweaving intellectual and imaginistic processes. In the first strand of the inquiry five female registered nurses share their individual stories which become the text for a nursing narrative that reveals the what-is of nursing reality in essences of Story and Kinship, and a Lifeworld undermined by high levels of Stress. In the second strand of the inquiry the researcher engages imaginistic process to access the archetypal dimension of the nursing narrative, resulting in a sub text from which archetypal images emerge to reveal the more-than of nursing reality. The emergent images are amplified to reveal their symbolic meanings, and their connection to the nursing narrative is explored. An interpretation that is consistent with analytical psychology is offered in a synthesis of the material arising from the nurses' stories and the imaginistic process. The author notes that this synthetic understanding is teleological in nature and directs attention to the need for nursing to grow a differentiated consciousness that is honouring of the feminine principle in the psyche in contradistinction from an overweaning masculine patriarchal consciousness that compromises the nursing endeavour. |

Abstract |
The researchers conducted a study to compare self-reported changes in both frequency and quality of performance of nursing behaviours in a cohort of recently graduated nurses undertaking a one year entry to practice programme. Thirty-three nurses were surveyed, seven weeks after beginning the programme and again seven months later, using a modified version of Schwirian's (1978) Six-Dimension Scale of Nursing Performance (6-DSNP). Over the study period participants reported significant increases in frequency of performance for the domains of leadership, critical care, teaching/collaboration, and planning/evaluation. Significant increases in the quality of nurse behaviours in the domains of critical care, planning/evaluation and interpersonal relations/communication were also reported. The modified Schwirian 6-DSNP was found to be a useful instrument for measuring nurses' self reporting of performance during periods of transition. |
