  Title A review of research literature addressing male partners and smoking during pregnancy Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Journal of Obstetric, Gynecologic and Neonatal Nursing Abbreviated Journal CPIT Repository  
  Volume 36 Issue 6 Pages 574-580  
  Keywords Pregnancy; Smoking; Male; Parents and caregivers  
  Abstract The aim of this research was to gain a more complete understanding of cigarette smoking and cessation during pregnancy by examining the men's role in supporting smoking cessation of their pregnant partners. A search of online databases was made for studies published in the last 10 years, in English, that included three phenomena; pregnancy, male partners, and cigarette smoking. Data were identified and organised according to theoretical, descriptive, and intervention methods of research. A growing body of literature indicates an interaction between pregnancy, male partners, and smoking behaviors. Explicating relationships between these phenomena is necessary for understanding and encouraging behaviours that promote maternal, child, and family health. The researchers conclude that current research highlights a need to further investigate the potential relationships, interactions, and health consequences of smoking behaviours of men and women during pregnancy.

  Title Integrative review of parenting in nursing research Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Journal of Nursing Scholarship Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 38 Issue 1 Pages 56-62  
  Keywords Parents and caregivers; Nursing research; Evaluation  
  Abstract The authors synthesise and critically analyse parenting research in nursing. They focused on studies published between 1993 and 2004 by nurse researchers in peer-reviewed journals. Data were organised and analysed with a sample of 17 nursing research studies from core nursing journals. The majority of parenting research has been focused on mothers, primarily about parenting children with physical or developmental disabilities. Research about fathers as parents is sparse. Parenting across cultures, parenting in the context of family, and theoretical frameworks for parenting research are not well developed. The authors conclude that the scope of nursing research on parenting is limited.

  Title Development of the New Zealand nursing workforce: Historical themes and current challenges Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Nursing Inquiry Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 4 Pages 330-334  
  Keywords History of nursing; Nursing research; Personnel; Interprofessional relations  
  Abstract This article reviews the development of the New Zealand nursing workforce, which has been shaped by social, political, scientific and interprofessional forces. The unregulated, independent and often untrained nurses of the early colonial period were succeeded in the early 1900s by registered nurses, with hospital-based training, working in a subordinate role to medical practitioners. In the mid/late 1900s, greater specialisation within an expanding workforce, restructuring of nursing education, health sector reform, and changing social and political expectations again reshaped nursing practice. Nursing now has areas of increasing autonomy, expanding opportunities for postgraduate education and leadership roles, and a relationship with medicine, which is more collaborative than in the past. Three current challenges are identified for nursing in New Zealand's rapidly evolving health sector; development of a nursing-focused knowledge culture, strengthening of research capacity, and dissemination of new nursing knowledge.
