  Title Specialist nursing famework for New Zealand: A missing link in workforce planning Type Journal Article
  Year 2009 Publication Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 10 Issue 4 Pages 269-275  
  Keywords Workforce planning; Nursing workforce; Specialist nursing frameworks; Advanced practice nurses  
  Abstract Explores the NZ context underpinning adequate specialist nurse workforce supply, contending that effective workforce planning would be supported by the

development of a single unified framework for specialist nursing practice in NZ, with the potential to support accurate data collection and to enable service providers to identify and plan transparent and transferable pathways for specialist nursing service provision and development. Argues that advanced practice nursing frameworks assist in increasing productivity through building an evidence base about advanced practice, enhancing consistency and equity of expertise, supporting a reduction in role duplication, and enabling succession planning and sustainability.

  Title Promoting independence in residential care: Successful recruitment for a randomized controlled trial Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Journal of the American Medical Directors Association Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 9 Issue 4 Pages 251-256  
  Keywords Research; Geriatric nursing; Rest homes; Evaluation; Attitude of health personnel  
  Abstract The aim of this study was to describe the recruitment strategy and association between facility and staff characteristics and success of resident recruitment for the Promoting Independence in Residential Care (PIRC) trial. A global impression of staff willingness to facilitate research was gauged by research nurses, facility characteristics were measured by staff interview. Forty-one (85%) facilities and 682 (83%) residents participated, median age was 85 years (range 65-101), and 74% were women. Participants had complex health problems. Recruitment rates were associated (but did not increase linearly) with the perceived willingness of staff, and were not associated with facility size. Design effects from the cluster recruitment differed according to outcome. The recruitment strategy was successful in recruiting a large sample of people with complex comorbidities and high levels of functional disability despite perceptions of staff reluctance. Staff willingness was related to recruitment success.

  Title Condensate clearance from CPAP circuit: An examination of two methods of draining condensate from the inspiratory tubing Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Neonatal Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 9 Issue 4 Pages 117-120  
  Keywords Neonatal nursing; Infection control; Equipment and Supplies  
  Abstract Clinical studies on adult ventilated patients demonstrate that bacterial contamination of the condensate occurs in ventilator circuits. The purpose of this research is to find out if this is also true of the condensate in the Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) circuit. It aims to determine whether there is bacterial contamination in the humidifier reservoir of the CPAP system when the condensate is drained back into the humidifier reservoir without disconnecting the circuit, or when the inspiratory tubing is disconnected to drain out the condensate.

  Title Nursing and midwifery attitudes towards withdrawal of care in a neonatal intensive care unit: Part 1. Literature review Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Neonatal Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 9 Issue 2 Pages 45-47  
  Keywords Attitude of health personnel; Neonatal nursing; Ethics; Technology  
  Abstract This article seeks to investigate the attitude of nurses and midwives to the withdrawal of care from sick neonates. Advanced technology results in the survival of increasingly premature babies with extremely low birthweights and this has inevitably led to an increase in the ethical dilemmas faced by neonatal staff as to whether continued treatment is actually in the best interests of these infants. Part 1 reviews the literature on this subject. Part 2 describes the results of a survey carried out in a New Zealand NICU.

  Title Mothering a hospitalized child: It's the 'little things' that matter Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Journal of Child Health Care Abbreviated Journal coda, An Institutional Repository for the New Zealand ITP Sector  
  Volume (down) 9 Issue 3 Pages 186-195  
  Keywords Nurse-family relations; Parents and caregivers; Paediatric nursing; Children  
  Abstract This article reports one aspect of a phenomenological study that described the lived experience of mothering a child hospitalised with acute illness or injury. The significance for mothers that nurses do the 'little things' emerged in considering the implications of this study's findings for nurses in practice. Seven mothers whose child had been hospitalised in the 12 months prior to the first interview agreed to share their stories. The resulting data were analysed and interpreted using van Manen's interpretation of phenomenology. This description of mothering in a context of crisis is useful in the potential contribution it makes to nurses' understanding of mothers' experience of the hospitalisation of their children. It supports the philosophy of family-centred care and highlights the ability of individual nurses to make a positive difference to a very stressful experience by acknowledging and doing 'little things', because it is the little things that matter to the mothers of children in hospital.

  Title Reflexivity and detachment: A discursive approach to women's depression Type Journal Article
  Year 2002 Publication Nursing Inquiry Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 9 Issue 2 Pages 126-132  
  Keywords Gender; Mental health; Psychiatric Nursing; Culture  
  Abstract This paper explores a discursive approach to understanding women's depression by presenting the results of research into women's narratives of their experiences. The discursive approach taken acknowledges women's immersion in cultural practices that determine the subject positions available to them and places a value on attributes of reflexivity and detachment that are not usually associated with their performance. The social and cultural context of the individual's experience is significant because if the focus is simply on the individual this supposes that the problem lies solely with the individual. An understanding of cultural expectations and their relation to mental distress is important to mental health nursing practice. The psychotherapeutic relationship that is fundamental to mental health nursing practice requires an understanding of the meaning of individual's responses in their cultural context in order to provide facilitative and meaningful care for the women that they nurse.

  Title Cultural safety: Living with disability Type Journal Article
  Year 2002 Publication Whitireia Nursing Journal Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 9 Issue Pages 14-19  
  Keywords Cultural safety; People with disabilities; Nursing models  
  Abstract This article outlines some of the health experiences and concerns of people with physical and/or mental disabilities. These experiences and concerns are explored within the context of the practice of cultural safety. In 1996, the Nursing Council of New Zealand adopted its definition of cultural safety and defines 'culture', in the context of 'cultural safety', as involving all people who are not part of the culture of nursing. Each person with a disability is unique, and they may also be part of a larger disability culture, which has its own shared experiences, values, beliefs and lifestyles. People with disabilities are also a minority within the population. Therefore, any power they might have within their own culture is minimal, compared to the advantages enjoyed by the rest of the population.
