| Title | Compassion fatigue and cancer nurses: a national survey of cancer nurses in New Zealand | Type | |||
| Year | 2013 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library | |
| Volume | Issue  |
Pages | 91 pp | ||
| Keywords | Cancer; Nurses -- Job Stress; Empathy; Burnout, Professional -- Psychology; Surveys | ||||
| Abstract | Identifies the experiences of NZ cancer nurses whose primary role is to care for patients aged 20 or older, and their whanau/family, and describes the factors that may influence care. Examines whether nurses received training in the management of stressors associated with caring for cancer patients, either during their training or while in the cancer workplace setting. Considers whether nurses working in peripheral (satellite) cancer centres were at more risk than their colleagues in larger regional centres. Conducts a quantitative, descriptive and anonymous survey of members of the Cancer Nurses' Section of the NZNO, using the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) questionnaire, which scores compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction and burnout. | ||||

| Title | Midwifery as Feminist Praxis in Aotearoa/New Zealand | Type | |||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library | |
| Volume | Issue |
Pages | 323 pp | ||
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY 2003. This thesis highlights the ways in which the practices of contemporary midwives in Aotearoa/New Zealand are caught within the intersection of an array of competing discourses. The context for this is the reconstruction of midwifery in Aotearoa/New Zealand as an autonomous feminist profession founded on partnership with women. Interviews and participant observation with midwives, based mainly in one New Zealand city, are the basis of an analysis of the complexity of midwives? praxis as professionals. The analysis draws on insights from critical and feminist approaches to Foucault?s theories of discourse, power and the subject. It includes discussion of the conditions which came to produce and authorise the concept of ?partnership?. Which subjects can speak about partnership, and when? What claims are made about it? What challenges it? |

| Title | Hardships and hurdles: The experiences of migrant nurses in New Zealand | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2010 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library |
| Volume | 1 | Issue |
1 | Pages | 4-8 |
| Keywords | Recruitment and retention; Personnel recruitment; Foreign nurses; English as a second language; Emigration and immigration; Bullying | ||||
| Abstract | The New Zealand nursing workforce is increasingly made up of overseas trained nurses. There is extensive literature from elsewhere in the world on the impacts of international nurse recruitment and migration on individual nurses and on health services. The literature also portrays evidence of abuse and exploitation, yet few studies are available relating to the experiences of migrant nurses in New Zealand. This research conducted a survey of overseas-trained nurses, specifically focusing on those nurses for whom English is not their first language, to understand the experiences and factors affecting migrant registered nurses in New Zealand. Given the importance to the New Zealand workforce of overseas-trained nurses, this research highlighted that more warnings and advice regarding recruitment agencies and information about nursing in New Zealand and the Nursing Council requirements for registration should be made available to nurses prior to their migration. Nursing leaders should be particularly alert to any evidence of bullying or discrimination based on race or overseas origin. | ||||

| Keywords | Research, nursing; Research methodology; Study design; data analysis; Data collection methods | ||||
| Abstract | Case study research, as a qualitative methodology, attracts some criticism, especially related to rigour, reliability and validity. A New Zealand-based study that explored complex phenomena – flexible learning for postgraduate nurses – provides a practical example of how the case study design can address these criticisms. Through describing the mixed methods used, different sources and methods of data collection, and data analysis, the process of achieving data quality and trustworthiness are highlighted. | ||||

| Title | Routine and rigidity: Barriers to insulin initiation in patients with Type 2 Diabetes | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2010 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library |
| Volume | 1 | Issue |
1 | Pages | 19-22 |
| Keywords | Medication compliance; Diabetes Mellitus, Non-Insulin-Dependent; Primary health care | ||||
| Abstract | It has been shown that intensive management of diabetes with type 2 diabetes is effective and has led to wider use of insulin. The conversion of patients from oral medication to insulin is usually managed in primary care. The study discussed here aimed to explore how patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) perceived insulin. The study was conducted in 2009 in an urban general practice in a large town in New Zealand with more than 300 patients with type 2 diabetes. A qualitative study was conducted with face-to-face interviews with 13 participants. The question focused on insulin initiation, lifestyle and routine. The transcribed responses were subject to thematic anaylsis. Interviews showed participants felt restricted by the prospect and eventuality of the routine and restrictions of being on insulin. Results show there needs to be a greater emphasis on the disease being progressive. This study provides the ground work for developing resources that will benefit patients with T2DM. | ||||

| Title | Positive pressure intravenous access ports on central venous devices in children: An evidence-based review | Type | Journal Article | ||

| Volume | 1 | Issue |
1 | Pages | 12-18 |
| Keywords | Venous pressure; Central venous pressure; Central venous catheters; Catheter-related infections; Children | ||||
| Abstract | This research aimed to assess the evidence for benefits and risks of positive pressure mechanical valve (PPMV) intravenous access ports on central nervous system devices (CVADs) in children. PPMVs on CVADs have been promoted as preventing occlusion and the need for heparin flushing. A search for primary research to March 2010 was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL. There is sufficient evidence that some models of PPMV intravenous access ports on CVADs, when flushed with normal saline, are associated with increased bloodstream infections in children. Further research is required. | ||||

| 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. | ||||

| Title | Impact of the Christchurch earthquakes on clients receiving health care in their homes | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| Volume | 4 | Issue |
1 | Pages | 4-10 |
| Keywords | Stress Disorders, Post-traumatic; older people; disaster response | ||||
| Abstract | Eighteen months after the first of many large earthquakes, Christchurch-based home health care provider Nurse Maude surveyed staff to identify the impact on the well-being of their mainly elderly clients. Responses from 168 staff identified five key issues. These were: mental health, anxiety, and depression, symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); unsafe environments; loneliness and isolation; difficulty coping with change; and poor access to services. To meet the needs of clients in this challenging environment, staff felt they needed more time to care, including listening to stories, calming clients and dealing with clients who had become slower and more cautious. Damaged and blocked roads, and the fact that many clients moved house without warning, added to the time it took to deliver care in the home. This survey has helped Nurse Maude build on its initial post-earthquake responses to better meet the needs of clients and support health-care workers in this stressful environment. | ||||

| Title | Preparedness: Lessons for educators from the Christchurch disaster | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| Volume | 4 | Issue |
1 | Pages | 11-16 |
| Keywords | Education, Nursing; Case studies; Disasters | ||||
| Abstract | This study describes the impact of a sudden, traumatic natural disaster on a bachelor of nursing programme, and the capacity and processes required to minimise disruption to programme delivery and student learning. This descriptive case study, undertaken across 2011-2012, collected data through interviews, a survey and artefact collection. Six key themes emerged from the inductive and descriptive statistical analyses: context; communication; leadership and followership; decision making; the need to balance shifting priorities around professional responsibilities and personal imperatives; and taking action and action plans. The conclusions reached emphasise safety as the first priority, encourage personal risk mitigation, and emphasise the importance of ongoing support and flexibility for all staff and students as well as the need for clear communication and decision-making. What is perhaps most important to take from this experience is that a plan does not, by itself, equal preparedness; every institution must look to its own context, consider its own priorities, and formulate its own approach to preparedness. | ||||

| Title | Evaluating critical care outreach and the early warning score tool ? The ward nurse?s viewpoint | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| Volume | 4 | Issue |
1 | Pages | 17-24 |
| Keywords | Early warning scores; Critical care nursing; nursing skills | ||||
| Abstract | The aim of this research was to ascertain the opinions of ward nurses (registered and enrolled nurses) on a critical care outreach (CCO) service and the early warning score (EWS) tool and how CCO helps them care for ward patients whose condition is deteriorating. An 18-item Likert scale questionnaire was adapted to gain opinions on three aspects of the service: The usability of the EWS tool and the escalation protocol; the role and usefulness of the critical care outreach nurse (CCON); and education and sharing of critical care skills. The research was conducted in a 270-bed New Zealand hospital with a nurse-led outreach team. The survey was distributed to adult general wards. It found 45 percent of ward nurses found EWS useful in identifying patients whose condition was deteriorating, 58 percent found EWS easy to use and 82 percent found EWS helped them prioritise workloads. On the role and usefulness of the CCON, 41 percent of surveyed nurses found the post-ICU review helpful, 65 said CCONs were approachable, 71 percent found the CCON shift time of 3pm-11pm was useful, 69 percent said the CCON demonstrated sound clinical knowledge, and 54 percent rated CCONs teaching as sufficient for their needs. When CCO was present, nurses were able to formulate an effective management plan for potentially deteriorating patients and acquired critical care skills needed to manage such patients. The results are comparable with other research which sought nurse opinion of CCO. It indicates nurses believe CCO to be instrumental in increasing critical care skills to prevent deterioration in the clinical area. | ||||

| Title | Staff support and quality of care provided by palliative care nurses: A systematic literature review | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| Volume | 4 | Issue |
1 | Pages | 25-32 |
| Keywords | Hospice and palliative nursing; Systematic review; Staff support; Quality of health care | ||||
| Abstract | There is a considerable body of literature discussing the stressors experienced by nurses and other health professionals when caring for those who are terminally ill and dying. Also, a number of articles offer suggestions, including the views of staff, as to what type of professional and organisational support is required when working in this often demanding specialty. There are, however, very few reports of assessment of the effectiveness of such supportive interventions and in particular, the impact of such support on the quality of patient care. This literature review examines any reported relationships between the quality of nursing provided by palliative care nurses and the staff support received by those nurses. | ||||

| Title | Maori nurses and smoking; Conflicted identities and motivations for smoking cessation | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| Volume | 4 | Issue |
1 | Pages | 33-38 |
| Keywords | Maori nurses; Smoking cessation; smoking; Qualitative research | ||||
| Abstract | This research aims to design and test the feasibility of an intervention promoting smoking cessation, and reducing smoking relapse, among Māori nurses who smoke. It is being conducted in two phases. Phase one, a national web-based survey, conducted in December 2012, explored the views of Māori nurses (smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers) regarding smoking. This paper reports on the analysis of qualitative responses from 410 nurses and nursing students identifying as Māori who completed an online survey. Five themes were identified: beliefs about smoking; ?for our tamariki?; personal stories of quitting; dissatisfaction with current approaches; and plans for future strategies. The findings confirm that nurses who smoke may experience feelings of conflict, and regard their behaviour as inconsistent with their role as nurses and health promoters. Nurses who smoke must be supported to become, and to stay, smokefree. Tailored Māori-specific cessation initiatives are needed. | ||||
