  Title The attitudes, knowledge and skills needed in mental health nurses: The perspective of users of mental health services Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication International Journal of Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 2 Pages 78-87  
  Keywords Patient satisfaction; Psychiatric Nursing; Attitude of health personnel  
  Abstract In this study a qualitative descriptive methodology with focus group interviews was used to explore with users of mental health services, the attitudes, knowledge and skills that they need in mental health nurses. Users of mental health services valued the therapeutic work of mental health nurses, and identified positive attitudes towards users of mental health services as essential in mental health nurses. However, they did not consistently experience a therapeutic approach in their interactions with mental health nurses. In a sociopolitical climate where the views of users of mental health services are increasingly incorporated into education and the planning and delivery of services, there is a need for more research that reflects the perspective of users.

  Title Graduates and initial employment Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Nurse Education Today Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 28 Issue 5 Pages 610-619  
  Keywords New graduate nurses; Curriculum; Work  
  Abstract This research project was undertaken to inform nurse educators in the Department of Nursing and Health Studies of Manukau Institute of Technology of the employment opportunities for new graduate nurses emerging from the three year degree and registration programme. Graduates from the programme for the previous three years were surveyed for their experiences in gaining employment. 89.8% of graduates were successful in gaining employment in the first three months post registration. The number of graduates employed within a district health board declined across the three years but there were no significant differences between cohorts. Overall, 73% of graduates were employed into new graduate positions. The majority of graduates felt that their nursing education prepared them well for their role as a registered nurse. The findings of the qualitative data identified a strong need for science throughout the degree; longer clinical blocks; increased hands on experience; more practice with skills and less theory in relation to practical experience.
