| Title | An integrated literature review of the role of the nurse practitioner in the emergency department | Type | |||

| Volume | Issue | Pages | 115 pp | ||
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | A dissertation in partial fulfilment of Master Health Sciences (Clinical)through University of Otago The nurse practitioner is one of the newest nursing health care professionals to be introduced to the New Zealand health system for many years. Eighty-six nurse practitioners are credentialed in New Zealand, with three working in urban Emergency Department settings. Nurse Practitioners are common internationally especially in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. The purpose of this integrated literature review is to explore current research and literature in regards to the Emergency Department Nurse Practitioner, and their role within emergency settings. This review presents the growth and development of the nurse practitioner as an advanced practice nursing position. Four key themes emerge from the literature review; education of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner , how and who defined the Emergency Nurse Practitioner role, practice setting of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner, and what the barriers are to independent practice. The economic, legal and governance aspects of the Nurse Practitioner role are also portrayed. This integrated review documents the potential for further development and expansion of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner scope of practice to provide a broad range of patient care services within Emergency Departments, and emergency care settings. Future research is essential for the promotion of autonomous practice of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner within the international and New Zealand health care system. |

| Title | Communities of Practice: Supporting innovation to improve public health nurse and school community relationships | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year |
2011 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Held by NZNO Library |
| Volume | 2 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 21-26 |
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | Public health nursing has been an integral part of health delivery services in New Zealand since the development of a public health service in the early 1900s. This paper details a qualitative study of a practice innovation undertaken by a group of nurses to reconnect with their school communities. Questions focused on whether the relationship between the public health nurses and their school communities improved as a result of the innovation and what impact, if any, the project had on the public health nurse team itself. Community of practice theory revealed the importance of collaboration and the benefits that can accrue from this approach for both nurse and school communities. |

| Title | The evidence behind more than a decade of policy recommending influenza vaccination for young New Zealanders with long term medical conditions | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year |
2011 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Held by NZNO Library |
| Volume | 2 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 27-32 |
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | This article reviews the recent evidence underpinning the New Zealand Ministry of Health's recommendation to offer free annual influenza vaccination to people aged six months to 64 years who have certain chronic medical conditions (eligible younger people). These results show there is relatively limited research providing evidence underpinning recommendations for influenza vaccination among people aged <65 years. These results show that there is a need to increase nurses' awareness of the rationale behind the New Zealand influenza vaccination policy, that this may in turn increase their willingness to recommend influenza vaccine to more eligible younger people. | ||||

| Abstract | There needs to be more practice-focused research about how cultural safety is experienced by the recipient of care and how it is applied in nursing and healthcare delivery.

Because the ground is different for knowledge arising from the New Zealand experience, theorising cultural safety must be different too. | ||||

| Volume | Issue | 19 | Pages | 9-17 | |
| Keywords | Death, Sudden; Cardiac Defibrillators Automated; External Prehospital Care; Resuscitation; Cardiopulmonary Ventricular Fibrillation | ||||
| Abstract | Baker et al., (2008) showed diminished rates of survival in the CPR-first group. Based largely on the evidence of the two Australian RCTs, the 2010 ILCOR guidelines removed the recommendation for CPR first, stating that 'there is inconsistent evidence to support or refute a delay in defibrillation to provide a period (90 s to 3 min) of CPR for patients in VF/pulseless ventricular tachycardia (VT) cardiac arrest' (ILCOR, 2010, p. e6).\n For this reason, and due to the increased chance of accidental defibrillation, it is the recommendation of the author that it only be used by health professionals who are able practise on a regular basis. | ||||

| Volume | Issue | 19 | Pages | ||
| Keywords | Careers in Nursing; Minority Groups; Nursing Shortage; Personnel Recruitment | ||||
| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to explore how young people make career choices and why young people choose or reject nursing as a career choice. This study has highlighted the complexity of this decision-making process, and the importance of making positive connections and offering appropriate support during this process. It seems that many young people are well equipped to make career decisions when given support. The need to recruit people from minority cultures into nursing is a global issue. This study also highlights the need for an inter-sectoral approach to raise the profile of nursing and make a career that is attractive to young people. |

| Volume | Issue | Pages | 290 pp | ||
| Keywords | Generation Y; Young nurses; Registered Nurses; Workforce planning; Attitudes to nursing; Surveys; Nursing shortages | ||||
| Abstract | The author has taken a broad approach to this research to explore the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards the nursing profession, the work itself and their career plans. This study arose out of the author?s interest in health care workforce planning for nursing and in particular the retention of young nurses given the current national and global shortage of nurses. Because of the broad and descriptive nature of the research, a wide variety of topics are included in the literature reviewed. Chapter one provides background to the study and an overview of generational cohorts. Chapter two explores selected literature relevant to the concept of work and the characteristics of the Generation Y workforce. Other topics included in this chapter include Herzberg?s work motivation hygiene/maintenance theory and a selection of literature about key workforce recruitment and retention issues.

| Abstract | Examines the lived experiences of adults with myasthenia gravis(MG). Uses an interpretive phenomenological approach applying the research methodology of van Manen (1990). Interviews seven people living with MG and records their experiences of the disease. Poses broadly-worded questions about various topics related to MG, that include diagnosis, symptoms, treatments and coping strategies, guided by individual experiences. Reveals by means of thematic analysis that MG affects every aspect of a person?s ?lifeworld?: their sense of time, body, and space and their relationships with others. Highlights three main themes embedded in the data experienced by a person with MG: living with uncertainty, living with weakness and living with change. | ||||
