| Abstract |
Focuses on two broad themes: perceptions and attitudes of general nurses in in-patient hospital settings towards clinical supervision and how they have found such support to be of benefit to themselves or their practice; organisational documentation policies and procedures available to nurses in order to understand their contribution to, and valuing of, clinical supervision. Seeks to discover whether there is evidence of other factors influencing the provision of, or access to, clinical supervision by general nurses, which influences attitudes and perceptions. |

| Abstract |
Critical Comparative Nursing Assessment (CCNA) is a theory about how the competence of completing Bachelor of Nursing students in New Zealand is determined. Semi-structured, audio-taped interviews and field notes were used to collect data from twenty-seven nurses with experience in undertaking competency assessment. A Glaserian grounded theory approach was used to guide the data collection and analysis. This utilised the processes of constant comparative analysis, theoretical sampling and saturation to generate a middle range substantive grounded theory. This is presented as a model consisting of four emergent categories that explain how nurses formulate professional judgements about competence. These are a) gathering, which describes the processes used to collect evidence of practice to inform decisions; b) weighing up, which explains how evidence is analysed using the processes of benchmarking and comparative analysis; c) judging brings into focus the tensions inherent in making professional judgements about competence and how nurses formulated these, and d) moderating, which describes the processes nurses use to validate decisions and ensure that professional responsibilities and public safety are upheld. The basic social psychological process of comparing integrates these categories to explain how nurses resolve the tensions associated with making decisions about competence. This research presents a new way of viewing and understanding how nurses assess competence. It identifies where the challengers and tensions related to the assessment of competence lie and suggests strategies that if implemented, the author suggests could further enhance the validity and reliability of assessment outcomes. |

| Abstract |
This article examines the concept of clinical supervision as “professional supervision”. Professional supervision contains many elements, is structured and not without effort. Fundamentally it is about being safe and professional. 'Reflective learning' and 'Live/tutorial' models are reviewed in different contexts for assisting nurses work through everyday issues, conflicts and problems of their role. The author concludes that regardless of which model is used there are benefits for safety and professionalism. |

| Abstract |
The aim of the study was to explore how practice nurses perceive engagement in Peer Learning and Review Groups impacts personally and professionally on their clinical practice. An anonymous self-administered postal questionnaire was completed by 55 practice nurses who attend Peer Learning and Review Groups in the South Island. A mixed method design was utilised to obtain both qualitative and quantitative data. Practice nurses considered group attendance was important for professional development with the majority perceiving that their attendance had a positive effect on their clinical practice. The nurses perceived clear linkages between the significant learning that occurred in the groups and changes in delivery of patient care. Additional benefits included improved collegial relationships, professional awareness and personal growth. The author concludes that, together, these findings underline the importance of Peer Learning and Review Groups as an effective tool for ongoing personal and professional development within nursing. |

Leadership; Psychiatric Nursing; Clinical supervision: Mental health |
| Abstract |
This research project explored nurses' perceptions of clinical leadership in mental health nursing practice. Within New Zealand no research exists that evaluates the role and impact the clinical leadership has in mental health nursing practice. From personal experience and discussion with colleagues the author argues that clinical leadership in terms of support and guidance for nurses is often minimal and that there is a relationship between qualities of clinical leadership and poor retention rates of mental health nurses. The prime objective of this study was to increase knowledge about clinical leadership in mental health nursing practice. This research used a quantitative descriptive methodology, utilising survey design. A questionnaire was used to rank the attributes of the person the respondents identified as a clinical leader. The data was collected from 30 registered nurses working in mental health settings within the central region of New Zealand. Findings indicate that there is room for improvement with regard to clinical leadership in mental health nursing practice. Clinical leadership is perceived to be more effective by nurses in their second year of practice and in community settings. A statistically significant difference was indicated between nurses in their second year of practice and nurses in their third year of practice in terms of their ranking of clinical leadership abilities. Overall the respondents perceived poor communication and poor attitude as the biggest barriers to effective leadership. Support and good role models were said to influence nursing practice positively and the skills that were identified as being helpful in assisting and retaining nurses were mentorship and good communication. The results of the study are discussed in relation to the literature on transformational leadership skills. Finally, the general limitations of the study are outlined and implications for future research are discussed. |

| Abstract |
Despite the widespread acceptance of the value of supervision among practitioners and the large quantity of literature on the topic, there is very little empirical evidence in relation to its effect on clinical practice. It is not clear whether supervision actually produces a change in clinician behaviour, or whether it produces benefits in terms of client outcomes. This thesis evaluates the impact of clinical supervision on five co-ordinators in a rural home care setting. It looks at the impact clinical supervision has on their practice and professional growth. The nurses all belong to one organisation, Access Homehealth Ltd. The study builds on the findings of a clinical supervision pilot, which was trialed within the organisation in 2002. The pilot examined which model of supervision was most beneficial for Access Homehealth staff. Clinical Supervision is defined as a designated interaction between two or more practitioners within a supportive environment, that enhances reflective practice and professionalism, which in turn contributes to improved practice and client outcomes. The methodology of this research was qualitative evaluation. The themes which emerged related to personal support, managing stress and alleviating feelings of isolation, reflection, enhancing practice, improved communication skills and the concept of clinical supervision as a safety net. Participants also revealed that one-on-one supervision appeared more helpful than group supervision, and that phone supervision facilitated in-depth dialogue. These findings are important, as they demonstrate it is feasible to simultaneously offer a number of formats of clinical supervision within one organisation, allowing for the organisation to provide what works best for different workers. They also show that clinical supervision is a valuable and useful support tool for home care co-ordinators in order to facilitate empowerment, reflection and growth in practice. Further research is needed to provide evidence of the benefits of supervision on improving client outcomes. |

| Abstract |
This research project utilised a case study approach to give ward managers a voice in the literature, by exploring and describing from their perspective the benefits and challenges of one particular nursing undergraduate clinical education model. The tertiary education provider contracts the health provider to provide Clinical Nurse Educators (CNEs) to support second and third year undergraduate nursing students during their clinical experiences. The CNEs are seconded from their respective wards to meet the organisation's contractual obligations. Data were gathered from two ward managers using semi-structured interviews. The findings elucidate the role of the undergraduate CNE, highlighting benefits such as the CNE being supernumerary to ward rosters and having time to teach, not only supervise students. CNEs are student-focused and easily accessible as they are based on site. The CNE was the one person who was 'there' for a student as a student's preceptor can change shift-by-shift and day-by-day. One significant challenge which emerged was the replacement of ward staff, not only of senior nurses who can leave their wards for up to 12 weeks to undertake the CNE role but also that of the student's preceptor if the student's preceptor was on annual, sick or study leave. Other challenges such as the inability of ward managers to pre-book casual staff; preceptor work-loads; skill-mix issues and fluctuating fulltime equivalents are also discussed. |

| Abstract |
The function and implementation of clinical supervision in the practice setting presents a number of challenges for new graduate programmes for registered comprehensive nurses. There have been numerous reports and papers promoting its benefits as important and providing the impetus for change. Clinical supervision has been well established as part of social work, counselling, psychotherapy and psychoanalytic practice, and in mental health nursing and midwifery. Its utilisation for graduate nurses is clearly important and should be seen as integral to professional practice. This study evaluated a programme of clinical supervision as a component of a new graduate nurse programme in a secondary health care practice environment. The clinical supervision component aimed to support graduate registered nurses' transition from the role of student nurse to staff nurse in the context of professional clinical practice. This report is also intended to inform the ongoing provision of clinical supervision at Hutt Valley District Health Board. The evaluation process was guided by the work of Owen (1990) and used utilisation focussed evaluation as the framework on which to undertake the evaluation. A mix of quantitative and qualitative methodology was used to collect and analyse the data. Data were collected from nurse graduates of the new graduate programme using a postal questionnaire that covered three areas; clinical supervision, the Hutt Valley District Health Board new graduate programme and an evaluation of stakeholder roles. Twelve of the new graduates responded to the survey. Findings suggest clinical supervision provided professional support and assisted the new graduate in the identification of education needs. Difficulties associated with accessing the structured component of the new graduate programme and clinical supervision were highlighted. The recommendations made to Hutt Valley District Health Board to improve the programme include considering accessibility, consumer rights, acceptability, a comprehensive approach, the Treaty of Waitangi, efficiency and a coordinated approach. |

| Abstract |
The purpose of this paper is to shed some light on the concept of clinical supervision specifically in relation to mental health nursing. The author talks briefly about the naming and history of clinical supervision and aims to provide some clarity around defining the concept. There is discussion around the role, value and objectives of clinical supervision before critical examination of two models of clinical supervision within two different contexts. Finally the strengths and weaknesses of each model are discussed, and the differences illustrate some of the contextual factors of clinical supervision. |
