Abstract |
In November 2005, the Oxford Community Health Centre (OCHC) introduced an innovative way of delivering primary health care to the residents of Oxford. This was in response to the difficulty with recruitment and retention of medical staff for the solo General Practitioner (GP) at OCHC. Primary health care services are now the shared responsibility of the Rural Nurse Specialists (RNS) and the GPs. This initiative is underpinned by a collaborative approach in sharing patient care between the GPs and RNSs to improve access to primary health care and foster staff retention. The team at OCHC is keen to consolidate and enhance the success of collaboration. Therefore, this dissertation has reviewed a range of literature in order to identify lessons that can be learned for the future. Two key factors that have implications for OCHC are the structural effects of the organisation and the interpersonal relationships between the GPs and RNSs. The structural effects include: the structure and philosophy at OCHC, and the social, cultural, and educational influences within the organisation. It is the nature of the interpersonal relationships that can affect the development and success of collaboration through a willingness to collaborate and the existence of mutual respect, trust, and effective communication between the RNSs and GPs. Strategies to foster collaboration at OCHC in the future include: staff participation in making collaboration visible within the philosophy at OCHC, a workshop for staff to further define roles and differentiate activities according to skill-mix; and the involvement of a nurse in decision-making at the organisational level. The author suggests that these strategies could also be beneficial to other rural practices that are striving to maintain a sustainable primary health care service. |

Abstract |
Pain management practices within emergency departments require a more patient focused approach due to extended waiting times for analgesia. This dissertation questions current methods of providing timely and appropriate delivery of analgesia. Nurses represent the biggest resource in emergency departments therefore are in a position to be able to access patients in a timely fashion. A review of the literature pertaining to nurse initiated analgesia protocols has been evaluated and information relating to efficiency and safety utilised to discuss the processes for planning and implementation of a similar protocol. The author finds that the literature provides no evidence that nurse initiated analgesic practices prior to medical assessment compromises patient safety or delays diagnosis. A discussion of the benefits to patients, nurses and the institution has been included to highlight the appropriateness of extending nursing roles. |

Abstract |
The author notes that it is widely accepted that there is a global shortage of nurses, and there are many studies in the health workforce literature about the negative aspects of nurse work environments, nursing workloads, decreased job satisfaction of nurses and the impact these have on patient health outcomes. In the past five years there has also been international and New Zealand-specific research into the effects of health restructuring on nursing leadership, retention of nurses, and on patient care. Much of this research has shown that countries with very different health care systems have similar problems, not only with retention of qualified nursing staff due to high levels of job dissatisfaction, but also with work design and the provision of good quality patient care in hospitals. This dissertation explores the many detrimental effects on nurses and nursing leadership, of extensive, and continuing, public health restructuring in New Zealand. The context of this dissertation is New Zealand public hospitals, with references pertaining to medical and surgical areas of nursing practice. Health reforms have negatively impacted on patient care delivery systems, patient health outcomes, and retention of educated nurses in the workforce. In order to resolve these issues, coordinated efforts are required in New Zealand district health boards to develop and sustain effective nursing leaders, who will promote and assist in the development of strong, healthy organisational cultures to retain and support professional nurses and the ways in which they wish to practise. |

Abstract |
On call emergency health services are becoming routinely provided by some rural nurses, predominantly within the South Island. Rural nurses have been advancing their practice to accommodate the limited availability of general practitioners in rural communities. Although this is becoming routine practice, the author has been providing a service such as this for the past 12 years. This dissertation describes this practice in relationship to the present social-political context, advancing nurse competencies and her experience of rural nursing in a rural town within the South Island. Particular significance for the rural nurse is the required independent practice and overall responsibility when remote from traditional medical oversight. Providing on call emergency care with the possibility of a broad spectrum of emergency situations while maintaining competence for the unpredictable frequency (or lack of frequency) of the rural emergency is the focus of this dissertation. The professional and personal risks are high for rural nurses when placed in situations they are not prepared for or unable to remain competent to manage. Implications resulting from the critique of the health service literature on this subject are identified. Firstly, rural nurses need to be insightful of their own emergency on call expertise and limitations. Secondly, rural nurses require ongoing education and thirdly that appropriate education is available and accessible to rural nurses. Lastly, rural nurses require maintenance of competency so these emergency skills are not lost. This dissertation and the resulting recommendations embrace Nursing Council of New Zealand Nurse Practitioner Competencies. The resulting outcomes fulfilling the rural nurse's need for maintenance of competency for emergency on call care, the community's need for safe appropriate emergency care and national legislation requirements. |

Rural nursing |
|
| |
Abstract |
Although it is accepted in rural nursing literature that the context shapes nursing practice there is limited opportunity to gain an understanding of how this occurs. This dissertation addresses this issue. Firstly, by employing a social geographical lens to define and examine the dynamic, evolving rural context and secondly, by considering the nursing concepts that arise from those contextual factors that relate directly to rural societal health needs. Defining 'rural' is essential when describing or debating rural nursing practice in context. However, there remains no universally accepted definition of 'rural'. Despite this and even though each location is individually specific, there are socio-cultural, occupational, ecological and health aspects that are common and bespeak rural society. These aspects have been developed into a Rural Framework Wheel as a visual reference to demonstrate the substantial influences which impact on nursing practice within the rural context. The framework encapsulates the distinctive dimensions that are hallmarks of rural nursing practice. Nurses can therefore use the framework to express concisely their individualised practice and competence by employing the two broad themes that have emerged from the literature; that of 'nursing per se' and 'partnership'. The Rural Framework Wheel is recommended as a paradigm to critique the practice of rural nurses from an educational, employment, research and political perspective. It is advocated that this framework be used by rural nurses to describe their practice and therefore to express the distinctiveness of the rural nursing identity. |

Abstract |
The development and role of the clinical nurse specialist in New Zealand is the focus of this dissertation. It is an area that has not clearly been documented previously and the author hoped that by articulating this role to nurses, educators, and administrators that the role of the clinical nurse specialist will be more clearly defined and perhaps recognised for the contribution it provides to health care in New Zealand. At present, it is difficult to justify the clinical nurse specialist position in New Zealand, when individuals have been left to define and develop their own positions. This has led to widely differing practice modes and role confusion, and therefore a varying degree of success in achieving improved nursing practice. Without title protection and some form of accreditation process to ensure standard of practice throughout the country it is not possible for post-holders to move from position to position throughout the country. The role and definition of the clinical nurse specialist must be clarified in order to reduce confusion. Restriction of the title to those who meet the defining characteristics will strengthen the role, improve collaboration with other members of the team as well as making it easier for the public to understand the role. |

Abstract |
As carers of patients who are clinical research participants, nurses' contribution to the success of clinical trials is acknowledged in the literature. Ethical dilemmas and challenges that clinical trials may present for nurses are also recognised. Although there is some discussion regarding these issues, few studies explore and identify the perceptions of intensive care nurses regarding clinical trials and how they may impact on nursing practice. This thesis explores and describes the viewpoints and experiences of sixty intensive care nurses from a tertiary level referral centre in New Zealand engaged in clinical research activities. The descriptive study utilised a self-administered questionnaire to gather information regarding nurses' roles in clinical trials, associated issues encountered and contributory factors, and the impact of issues on nursing practice, stress and satisfaction levels. Suggestions for potential strategies to minimise the impact of issues on nurses' practice were also sought. Descriptive statistical and content data analyses identified three key areas in which nurses' encounter issues associated with clinical trials and their practice: nurses' workload; ethical concerns; educational preparation and support. The findings indicate that, when issues exist in these areas, routine patient care can be delayed, the enactment of nurses' patient advocacy role can be affected, and nurses' stress and satisfaction levels can be negatively impacted upon. The perceptions of a group of intensive care nurses who are enveloped in the daily balance of patient care, the need for clinical research, and their professional obligations are discussed in this thesis. While the study's findings are reflective of one group of nurses in a distinct practice setting, their experiences can prompt other nurses, research teams and clinical leaders to reflect upon their own clinical research environment. |

Abstract |
Hope is considered an elusive, vague, over-used, and ambiguous concept in nursing practice which lacks clarity, but hope is essential to the quality of life in the terminally ill. Therefore, hope is an important concept to research further. A gap in nursing research has been identified in the area of hope in terminal illness. The aims of this research were to clarify the concept of hope as perceived by patients with a terminal illness; to develop hope as an evidence-based nursing concept; and to contribute new knowledge and insights about hope to the relatively new field of palliative care. Utilising Rodgers' (2000b) evolutionary concept analysis methodology and thematic content analysis, 17 pieces of research-based literature on hope as perceived by adult patients with any terminal illness pathology (from the disciplines of nursing and medicine) have been reviewed and analysed. Hope's attributes, antecedents, consequences, social-cultural variations, temporal variations, surrogate terms, and related concepts have been considered. An exemplary case of the concept in action is presented along with the evolution of the concept hope in terminal illness. Ten essential attributes of the concept were identified in this research: positive expectation, personal qualities, spirituality, goals, comfort, help / caring, interpersonal relationships, control, legacy, and life review. The evolution of hope in terminal illness has evolved from patients hoping for a prosperous healthy future to an enrichment of being is more important than having or doing. Patients' hopes and goals are scaled down and refocused in order to live in the present and enjoy the time they have left with loved ones. Hope in the terminal phase of one's illness is orientated in the past and the present, hope in the here and hope in the now. The author concludes that by completing all the steps to Rodgers' (2000b) evolutionary view of concept analysis, a working definition and clarification of the concept in its current use has been achieved, providing a solid conceptual foundation for further study. Recommendations are made for hope-enhansing strategies, that may help to maximise the quality of life of terminally ill patients in the future. |

Abstract |
Death education encompasses many complex realities, for both the students and lecturers involved. This quantitative research explored the experiential and didactic preparation of nursing students through a content analysis, of one New Zealand, three year Bachelor of Nursing programme, in relation to death education. The Otago Polytechnic Bachelor of Nursing programme incorporates compulsory and optional courses, with the courses taught as an integrated programme with a progressive, sequential approach. This approach builds on content, deepening understanding from year to year, as well as providing opportunities for experiential learning and broadening of understanding. The literature review discusses three dominant themes of undergraduate death education: education, death, and transition. The data collection tool incorporates eighteen key terms, ten teaching methods and ten assessment methods. The programme and individual course documents, which define course content, teaching and assessment were scanned and analysed. The findings initially showed limited evidence of death education in course documents, however deeper analysis of the documents showed further evidence over the three year programme. The existence of death education is implied rather than overt throughout many course documents, through the use of broad practice statements. Content analysis is one way of shedding light on programme content in relation to death education. Limitations of the content analysis approach mean measuring experiential and didactic learning is not fully achievable from documentation analysis only. Further development of Bachelor of Nursing death education is an ongoing challenge, with current programmes very full and possibly lacking the capacity to increase content. Bachelor of Nursing programmes are discussed, highlighting the need for student focused learning with emphasis on acquiring and processing information, rather than mastery of content. |

Abstract |
This thesis uses an autoethnographic method to describe the author's personal journey and the influences on teaching the Treaty of Waitangi in the School of Nursing at Otago Polytechnic, from 1985 to 2005. The author starts this exploration as a beginning teaching practitioner in 1985, and continues on with her attendance at the original workshop for trainers by Project Waitangi in 1990. She discusses the influences of her studies towards a Bachelor of Arts at Otago University, through the development of School Charters which influenced her children's schooling and through the process of teaching and facilitating the workshops for Treaty education, until her position in the School of Nursing changed in 2005. She discusses through reflection, the personal influences, the socialisation process of teaching the history of Aotearoa New Zealand to students, the influences of nursing education on Treaty education, the influences of Irihapeti Ramsden's relationship to her journey and also her lecturers at university. She also traces her journey of beginning teaching practice. The author identifies this work as providing a starting place for potential research into the experiences and reflections of nurse educators over this period of time, and across other educational institutes and disciplines. The experiences of students from this teaching would also add to the profession's and the country's knowledge about the relationship of the Treaty of Waitangi to both education and health. |

Abstract |
Palliative care is a growing specialty in New Zealand with many well-established hospices and palliative care services around the country. However palliative care is not confined to specialist units and is in fact an element of all health services. The aged care sector is one of those services where patients with palliative care needs are prevalent and this is now beginning to be recognised. In these settings care assistants, most of whom have no training, make up a large component of the workforce providing care for residents with increasingly complex needs. In 2005, Hospice New Zealand responded to the recommendations made by the New Zealand Palliative Care Strategy (Ministry of Health, 2001) by developing an eight-hour palliative care course for care assistants employed in residential aged care facilities. The main objective of the course was to increase care assistants' ability to deliver a high standard of palliative care to their residents within their scope of practice.This qualitative study uses descriptive, semi-structured interviews to explore the impact that attending the course had on care assistants and their practice by inviting them to share stories of their experiences caring for dying residents. Factors influencing the implementation of learning in the workplace were identified. The results showed that while attending the course had a positive impact on participants, they were restricted in the extent to which they were able to apply new learning in the workplace, which was largely due to factors that were out of their control. As a result, recommendations are made to enhance workforce development in the aged care sector and to minimise the barriers to the implementation of learning. |

Abstract |
Homosexuality has been practiced since ancient times, but through the centuries this expression of sexual identity has moved from being acceptable to unacceptable and finally regarded in a contemporary era as a mental health problem that needed to be, and it was thought could be, cured. This paper focuses on the barriers that lesbian women perceive when wanting to access health care. Most of the research about lesbian women has been conducted in the United States with some in the United Kingdom, Canada and New Zealand. Through reviewing the available literature and grouping common themes, the author identifies three main barriers to health care that exist for lesbian women. Firstly, ignorance or insensitivity of the health care professional about the specific health care needs of this client group; secondly, homophobia or heterosexism that may be present in the health care environment; and thirdly the risk of disclosing one's sexual orientation. These barriers are discussed using the concepts of cultural safety and nursing partnership. The author concludes that the negative health care experiences that lesbian women encounter leave them feeling vulnerable and fearful. This fear and stigmatisation has resulted in lesbian women becoming an 'invisible' community. It is the assumption of heterosexuality that immediately places the lesbian woman at a disadvantage and this potentially may produce missed opportunities to provide individualised care to the lesbian client. The purpose of this work is to encourage discussion within nursing to challenge attitudes and the approach to women who identify as lesbian. The author hopes that this paper will contribute to the increasing body of knowledge in regard to this client group. |

Abstract |
Traditionally the use of advanced physical assessment skills when assessing a patient or client has been the domain of the medical profession. The last few decades has seen many changes in health provision that have influenced nursing practice, as a result of the social and economic trends impacting on New Zealand society. A notable change in nursing practice has been an increased emphasis on the use of advanced physical assessment skills by registered nurses, as an expected part of the registered nurse's health assessment. Nurses in the United States, and more recently Canada and Australia, readily include these skills as an expansion of their health assessment into their nursing practice. The purpose of this research is to investigate whether New Zealand registered nurses have done the same. The factors that influence the registered nurses' use of these skills are also explored. This descriptive design was chosen in order to focus on exploring and describing this phenomenon in a holistic fashion. Data collection involved one hour semi- structured interviews with seven participants who all completed the same postgraduate advanced health assessment educational course. Three themes were identified as influencing the use of advanced physical assessment skills; the registered nurse's work environment, the registered nurse's attributes and the registered nurse's original nursing education. The findings from this research have implications for nurses in practice and nurse educators, in both undergraduate and postgraduate education. |

Abstract |
School staff are a conduit by which children and families can access the public health nursing service and the public health nurses can access children and their families. The author notes that, to benefit children, public health nurses need more than knowledge of health issues; they need to understand how to work well with staff from the education sector. A good professional relationship between public health nurses and school staff will therefore ultimately result in a benefit to children's health. This thesis reviews the literature using an interpretive lens to examine the position of public health nurses and schools. It argues that public health nurses need to access expertise from other sources besides nursing in order to develop and sustain the skills of relating professionally to staff from the education sector. It proposes collaboration as a model of public health nursing practice with school staff but recognises that further research on inter-sectorial collaboration is necessary. |
