Tuffnell, C. (1987). Giving patient lifting a lift. New Zealand Nursing Journal, 80(4), 10–12.
Abstract: This is an action study where 298 patient lifts were observed and analysed according to environmental patient and nurse activity factors, frequency of different types of lifts were also recorded and Nursing lifting loads estimated. Findings showed lack of planning in preparation for lifts, a tendency for Nurses to perform lifts without help and lifting loads and lift types which put Nurses at increased risk of injury. Suggestions are made for giving patient lifting a lift. These require action at individual nurse and organisational levels

Crisp, B. G. (1985). Staff levels in a long term ward – are they adequate? New Zealand Nursing Journal, 78(11), 12–15.
Abstract: In this article, the author will discuss the way in which the task of finding out whether staff levels were adequate in a long term ward was approached. Figures were collated using a patient dependency rating (described below) in use at the time of the article, estimated nursing hours per patient and staff numbers per day; the 3 sets of figures were kept over a 28 day period. The results gained were compared to results from articles and reports perused by the author and conclusions reached as to whether the staff levels were adequate or not. Following this, implications of lack of staff and possible solutions were discussed

Lichfield, M. (1974). The paediatric nurse and the child in hospital. New Zealand Nursing Journal, 67(11).
Abstract: A paper intended to inform paediatric nurses and influence service policy and management, adapted from a presentation at an inservice education study day for nurses at Wellington Hospital. The paper grew out of the findings of a small research project undertaken by the author as part of nursing practice in a paediatric ward of Wellington Hospital. The observations of the stress in the experience of infants and parents and the ambiguities inherent in the relationships between parents and nurses were the basis for arguing for changes in nursing practice and ward management.
