  Title Nursing and living in rural New Zealand communities: an interpretive descriptive study Type
  Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume Issue Pages 116pp  
  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.

  Abstract This article reports the results of a research study undertaken to examine how nurses manage their professional and personal selves while working in small rural communities. The participants were a small group of rural nurses on the West Coast. The rationale for the study was the long-term sustainability and viability of the service to this remote area. The research showed that the rural nurse specialists' role is a complex and challenging one, performed within the communities in which nurses live.
