| Abstract |
The author presents the results of a study carried out as part of a research project with two nurse researchers from Maastricht University in the Netherlands. The aim of this study was to examine awareness among female students aged 18 to 25 about cervical cancer and to identify factors associated with their decision or intention to enter the cervical screening programme. Students aged 18-25 were recruited from four tertiary institutions in the Wellington region. A questionnaire was available online and distributed by student health centres and the researchers. Questions covered the following areas: intentions, attitude, knowledge, awareness, modelling, and support systems and efficacy. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression and independent t-tests. The findings are presented, and factors associated with intention and participation in cervical screening are discussed. The results indicate that the information concerning the national screening programme needs to be adjusted for the different age groups. |

| Abstract |
The author describes his experience of five years as a nurse practitioner in mental health at Waikato District Health Board. A recent review of the role gave him the opportunity to reflect on the learning associated with assuming the nurse practitioner role. A key area of learning has been in negotiating the shifting responsibilities and changing relationships associated with his role as an nurse practitioner and also as a Responsible Clinician, a role traditionally held by psychiatrists. The Responsible Clinician role is a statutory one under the Mental Health Act (1992), generally performed by psychiatrists but open to other suitably qualified professionals. He reports the results of a review based on feedback from fellow professionals, clients and their families, along with quantitative data from basic statistics connected to the role, such as a time and motion study. The review asked fellow professionals to rate the performance of the nurse practitioner against the Nursing Council competencies. These results indicate the nurse practitioner role is of some value and that other professionals and clients seem satisfied with the role. There is some evidence it is delivering outcomes acceptable to clients and other professionals. The study has many limitations which are discussed, such as a poor response rate and short time frame. Further research is planned to evaluate this role. |

| Abstract |
The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between worries and psychological well-being, and self-rated health in older men. A cross-sectional survey method was used to investigate the research aim. A group of men aged 65 years and over (n = 217), who lived in a small New Zealand city, participated in this study. Results from this research revealed that worries about physical abilities and health were significantly related to a decrease in psychological well-being and self-rated health. Gerontological nurses are challenged to be cognisant of older men's concerns about their health and physical ability. |

| Abstract |
This article reviews the use of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for pregnant women suffering from depressive symptoms. CBT provides a structured, short-term, collaborative process between clinician and client, using strategies and techniques to identify dysfunctional thinking and beliefs, challenge and change these beliefs, then implement new rational beliefs and behaviours. A process of engagement, assessment and conceptualisation is followed by treatment planning and implementation, and modification of dysfunctional thinking and behaviours. Use of CBT to treat depression in women during pregnancy is supported by the literature, especially where pharmacological intervention is declined or contraindicated. Pregnancy can bring stressors that combine with biological factors and core beliefs to contribute to depressive symptoms. |

| Abstract |
This paper uses two perspectives, a feminist analysis and emancipatory leadership model, to analyse the practice and philosophy of leadership. It finds the important components of leadership include communicating understanding, developing a sense of community, and reconstituting the power relationships. This challenges traditional leadership perspectives which privilege individuals hierarchically appointed, or with deemed alienable qualities or traits. |

This article examines the concept of clinical supervision as “professional supervision”. Professional supervision contains many elements, is structured and not without effort. Fundamentally it is about being safe and professional. 'Reflective learning' and 'Live/tutorial' models are reviewed in different contexts for assisting nurses work through everyday issues, conflicts and problems of their role. The author concludes that regardless of which model is used there are benefits for safety and professionalism. |
