| Title | Achieving health in a rural community: A case study of nurse – community partnership | Type  |
Book Whole | ||
| Year | 2004 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | University and Polytechnic Libraries, NZNO Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Rural health services; Nursing models; Advanced nursing practice; Health promotion; Organisational change | ||||
| Abstract | This study describes rural, nurse-led health services provided by the Takapau Health Centre (Central Hawkes Bay) and its outreach, Norsewood & District Health Centre. The study looks at its model of service delivery through to 2002. It examines the establishment, development, funding and management of the service, along with the nursing practice and the healthcare people received. The book is a snapshot of nursing initiative and survival through a decade of change in health policy and service funding and delivery. The information was subsequently used to move the health centre service into the new paradigm of primary health care launched in the New Zealand Health Strategy. | ||||

| Title | The language of nursing practice in hospitals | Type |
Conference Article | ||
| Year | 1997 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | held by NZNO Library and author | |
| Volume | Proceedings of the National Nursing Informatics Co | Issue | Pages | ||
| Keywords | Hospitals; Nurse managers; Advanced nursing practice; Nurse-patient relations; Care plans | ||||
| Abstract | A paper presenting the findings of a small research project involving a group of self-selected senior nurses of Wellington Hospital to explore the nature of nursing practice in the care and management of hospitalised patients and to formalise the language that would acknowledge its significance in the current effort of hospitals to define patient care pathways. The nature of hospital nursing practice was described in themes of a generic process of nurse-patient care that articulates a distinct specialism of hospital nursing, whatever the hospital department in which nurses hold positions. | ||||

| 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. | ||||

| Title | Methodological issues with case study research | Type |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2010 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library |
| Volume | 1 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 9-11 |
| 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 | ||
| Year | 2010 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library |
| 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 | Editorial: Cultural Safety 20 Years On Time to Celebrate or Commiserate? | Type |
Journal Article | ||

| Volume | Issue | 19 | Pages | 5-8 | |
| Keywords | Cultural Safety -- Education; Curriculum; Education- Nursing | ||||
| 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. [...]sociology, science, and knowledge developed from within northern hemisphere societies. Because the ground is different for knowledge arising from the New Zealand experience, theorising cultural safety must be different too. | ||||

| Title | Critical Elements of Pre-hospital Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation | Type |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2012 | Publication | Whitireia Nursing Journal | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| 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. | ||||

| Title | How Culture Influences Choosing Nursing as a Career | Type |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2012 | Publication | Whitireia Nursing Journal | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
| 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. |
