| Keywords | Weight loss; Obesity | ||||
| Abstract | A research portfolio submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Nursing, the University of Auckland, 2010. Sustained weight loss maintenance is a constant challenge, especially for morbidly obese individuals who have tried and failed repeatedly. Why is it then, that some individuals are successful whilst others are not so successful? This two-phase sequential, mixed methods study sought to identify and gain insight into the factors associated with successful weight loss maintenance for participants in an adult weight management programme in the Waikato. Success appeared to be independent of age, gender, ethnicity, domicile, employment status and the presence of co-morbities. Four major themes emerged: - “Actions speak louder than words – just do it” (Following a lower energy diet, having higher levels of physical activity, regular self weighing, and vigilance in adjusting their behaviours based on the results) - Routines were also important in supporting the changed behaviours - What's it worth to me - Valuing the achievements associated with lesser weight was seen as another important factor of success |

| Abstract | Report to the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust on Professional Supervision for registered Nurses and Midwives, May 1998. Objective of Project: To explore the extent of the development of a model of clinical supervision for nurses in the United Kingdom. Some of the key points that emerged: - Clinical supervision is a strong and accepted part of nursing culture in Britain. While not mandatory and not available to, or accepted by, all nurses, it is nevertheless generally known about and discussed at main nursing forums - The strong support and directives coming from nursing leadership is a major factor in the adoption of clinical supervision as a developmental, support and quality control - The increasing availability of resource material, courses, and in particular the investment made by the Department of Health and the Scottish Home and Health Office in funding a 23 site evaluation project has stimulated implementation of clinical supervision |

| Abstract | A research portfolio submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Nursing, The University of Auckland, 2009 This paper is a report of a study seeking to understand the experience of New Zealand rural dwelling Mäori clients with end-stage renal disease who receive haemodialysis. End stage renal disease (ESRD) is related to lifestyle, genetic factors and environment, and Mäori are at higher risk of renal disease which results of need for renal replacement therapy to sustain their lives. Dialysis clients are a group of ?silent? clients under the care of the dominant health professionals. Adherence with therapeutic regimes has been a main issue for health care professionals and service delivery, as it directly contributes to the efficacy of the treatment and cost effectiveness. Mäori clients? experience of living with haemodialysis has not been explored. Although there are a number of studies describing the experience of patients living on dialysis so far, no studies have yet focused specifically on the experience of Mäori clients towards their renal replacement therapy. The continual demands of dialysis treatment are significant and given the high proportion of Mäori having dialysis. It is timely to explore the experience of Mäori clients and their family/whänau in order to understand the need for quality of care and to promote Mäori health outcomes in chronic kidney disease management |

Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library | |
| 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. |

| Abstract | A submitted for the degree of Master of Health Sciences(Nursing Clinical)at The University of Otago, Christchurch. This study examined the role of an advanced nurse practitioner in the identification, diagnosis and management of patients referred to an IBS nurse led clinic with symptoms of IBS as their primary problem. Items of interest were identification of the causes of symptoms, the effects of symptoms on quality of life (QOL), coping strategies of the patient, and patient satisfaction with care. These were measured by prospective data on two questionnaires given several months apart. In addition, some basic retrospective data were collected from a database of information on prior patients, to determine that the study subjects were representative of the IBS practice. |

| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Nursing at Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin, New Zealand. June 2007 This study used an interpretive descriptive method to gain insight into and explore key issues for rural nurses working and living in the same community. Four Rural Nurse Specialists were recruited as participants. The nurses had lived and nursed in the same rural community for a minimum of 12 months. Participants were interviewed face to face and their transcribed interviews underwent thematic analysis. The meta-theme was: the distinctive nature of rural nursing. The themes identified were: interwoven professional and personal roles; complex role of rural nurses and relationships with the community. A conceptual model was developed to capture the relationship between the meta-theme and the themes. A definition for rural nursing was developed from the findings. This research identified some points of difference in this group of rural nurses from the available rural nursing literature. It also provides a better understanding of the supports Rural Nurse Specialists need to be successful in their roles, particularly around the recruitment and retention of the rural nursing workforce. |

| 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.
