Author Chenery, K. openurl 
  Title Family-centred care: Understanding our past Type Miscellaneous
  Year 2004 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 20 Issue 3 Pages 4-12  
  Keywords History of nursing; Nurse-family relations; Paediatric nursing; Parents and caregivers  
  Abstract Oral history accounts of the care of the hospitalised child in the context of family are used to argue that current practice paradoxes in family-centred care are historically ingrained. The article looks at the post-war period, the intervening years, and current practice, centred on the changing concept of motherhood throughout that time. The conflict between clinical expediency versus family and child needs is explored.

Author Wilson, H.V. openurl 
  Title Paradoxical pursuits in child health nursing practice: Discourses of scientific mothercraft Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Critical Public Health Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 13 Issue 3 Pages 281-293  
  Keywords Plunket; Nurse-family relations; Paediatric nursing; Nursing philosophy  
  Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine the discourses of scientific mothercraft and their implications for the nurse-mother relationship, drawing on the author's recent research into surveillance and the exercise of power in the child health nursing context. The application of Foucauldian discourse analysis to the texts generated by interviews with five New Zealand child health nurses confirms that this paradoxical role has never been fully resolved. Plunket nurses primarily work in the community with the parents of new babies and preschool children. Their work, child health surveillance, is considered to involve routine and unproblematic practices generally carried out in the context of a relationship between the nurse and the mother. However, there are suggestions in the literature that historically the nurse's surveillance role has conflicting objectives, as she is at the same time an inspector and family friend.

  Title The meaning of the experience for ICU nurses when a family member is critically ill: A hermeneutic phenomenologcial study Type
  Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Intensive care nursing; Nurse-family relations

Analysis of data from interviews of four ICU nurses who had experienced having a family member admitted to ICU brought up several themes. These included: a nurses' nightmare, knowing and not knowing, feeling torn, and gaining deeper insight and new meaning. Recommendations for organisational support for ICU nurse/relatives, and education for staff are made, based on the findings.
