  Title The personal safety of district nurses: A critical analysis Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 20 Issue 3 Pages 31-44  
  Keywords District nursing; Occupational health and safety; Organisational culture; Risk factors  
  Abstract (up) A workplace safety study of district nurses in New Zealand was conducted to explore personal safety experiences. A qualitative methodology informed by Critical Social Theory was employed. This paper details the findings and implications derived from data collected from six district nurses in two urban New Zealand health services who recalled incidents in which they felt their personal safety was compromised. Data were collected through individual interviews and a focus group discussion with the participants. Data analysis revealed two-fold risks to nurse safety; these were associated with client behaviour as well as risks embedded in the organisational structure. The findings suggest a number of practical issues involving basic security measures require urgent attention. The complex power relationships that shape the experience of nursing in a community impinged on the ability of the nurses in this study to confidently and safely fulfil their role. An organisational commitment to a culture of safety would help address the powerlessness experienced by district nurses.

  Title Workplace learning: exploring the context and culture in New Zealand Type Book Whole
  Year 2013 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 234 p.  
  Keywords Workplace learning; Post-registration education; Postgraduate education; Professional development; Learning culture; Critical reflection; Mentoring  
  Abstract (up) Explores the rationale underpinning the development of education programmes within urban district hospitals throughout the country, and ascertains how these workplaces develop education programmes, given that the majority of nurses in New Zealand have identified that they prefer to participate in workplace-based professional development. Cites a clear requirement to foster learning during a nurse's development post-registration, while considering how prepared nurse educators were to fulfil their roles as lifelong learning facilitators and mentors. Utilises the perspective of nurse educators employed in District Health Boards (DHBs) geographically isolated from universities providing post-registration learning.

  Title Atrocity tales: The language of terrorism in nursing Type
  Year 2004 Publication Whitireia Nursing Journal Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 11 Issue Pages 27-35  
  Keywords Gender; Male nurses; Culture  
  Abstract (up) In this paper, the author explores the concept of 'professional terrorism'. He exposes discrimination against male nurses as being a form of professional terrorism, primarily as it is enacted through use of language. He presents the concept of horizontal violence as a way to understand why nurses, as a marginalised group, perform oppressive acts towards male nurses, who are similarly oppressed. He outlines the cost of such a culture on nursing practice and presents strategies for change.

  Title Organisational attributes valued by hospital, home care, and district nurses in the United States and New Zealand Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Journal of Nursing Scholarship Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 37 Issue 1 Pages 67-72  
  Keywords Organisational culture; Cross-cultural comparison; Nursing  
  Abstract (up) The aim of this study was to determine whether hospital-based, home care, and district nurses identify a core set of organisational attributes in the nursing work environment that they value as important to the support of professional practice. Survey data, collected in 2002 2003 from 403 home care nurses in the United States and 320 district nurses in New Zealand, were pooled with an existing data set of 669 hospital-based nurses to conduct this descriptive, nonexperimental study. The importance of organisational attributes in the nursing work environment was measured using the Nursing Work Index-Revised (NWI-R). The authors found that at least 80% of hospital-based, home care, and district nurses either agreed or strongly agreed that 47 of the 49 items comprising the NWI-R represented organisational attributes they considered important to the support of their professional nursing practice. Mean importance scores among home care nurses, however, were significantly lower than were those of the other two groups. The authors conclude that the overall, hospital-based, home care, and district nurses had a high level of agreement regarding the importance of organisational traits to the support of their professional practice. The intensity of the attributes' importance was less among home care nurses. Further research is needed to determine whether this set of organisational traits, measured using the NWI-R, is associated with positive nurse and patient outcomes in home care and district nursing practice, as has been shown in acute care settings.

  Title Deconstructing risk assessment and management in mental health nursing Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 43 Issue 1 Pages 19-27  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Risk management; Policy; Culture  
  Abstract (up) The aims of the study were to provide a deconstructive analysis of the concepts of risk and risk management, and to explore the historical context of mental disorder and the concept of risk, the clinical context of risk assessment and management, the cultural, political and economic context of risk, and the impact on mental health nursing and consumers of mental health services. This is undertaken by providing a critical review of the history of mental illness and its relationship to risk, examination of government policy on clinical risk management, analysis of a risk assessment model and a discussion of the political and economic factors that have influenced the use of risk assessment and management in clinical practice. The concept of risk and its assessment and management have been employed in the delivery of mental health services as a form of contemporary governance. One consequence of this has been the positioning of social concerns over clinical judgement. The process employed to assess and manage risk could be regarded as a process of codification, commodification and aggregation. In the mental health care setting this can mean attempting to control the actions and behaviours of consumers and clinicians to best meet the fiscal needs of the organisation. The authors conclude that the mental health nursing profession needs to examine carefully its socially mandated role as guardians of those who pose a risk to others to ensure that its practice represents its espoused therapeutic responsibilities.

  Keywords Medical errors; Organisational change; Organisational culture; Patient safety; Interprofessional relations  
  Abstract (up) The author reviews the national and international literature on medical errors and adverse events.

Some strategies for addressing these issues are proposed, such as promoting a no-blame culture, and addressing conflict between health professionals.
