Title Advanced nursing practice: Time and meaning Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 19 Issue 3 Pages 29-39
Keywords (up) Advanced nursing practice; Nurse practitioners; Professional development; History of nursing
Abstract The particular, contemporary meanings ascribed to “advanced nursing practice” in New Zealand have been debated and delineated in the 1990s, culminating in the launch of the nurse practitioner role at a conference sponsored by the Ministry of Health and the Nursing Council of New Zealand in August, 2001. Drawing on archival materials, documents, other texts and voices, this article explores the evolution of connotations and meanings of the word “advanced” as applied to nursing in New Zealand. The focus is on clinical practice, research, teaching, consulting, higher education, and advancement of the profession. Historical aspects of advancement in New Zealand nursing are examined, including registration, unsupervised practice, technical specialisation, and career development.

Title The evolving meaning of 'culture' in New Zealand nursing Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 17 Issue 3 Pages 51-61
Keywords (up) Cultural safety; Biculturalism; History of nursing; Maori
Abstract The author traces the nursing definition of biculturalism as it has evolved from the colonial period to the present. An examination of nursing literature demonstrates that local understandings of culture have matured beyond anthropological interpretations to a sociopolitical definition of Maori culture. The author suggests that, in nursing, culture has come to mean cultural safety.

Title Cultural safety, where does it fit? A literature review Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Vision: A Journal of Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 8 Issue 14 Pages 27-30
Keywords (up) Cultural safety; Cross-cultural comparison; History of nursing
Abstract This literature review discusses the history of the inclusion of culture into nursing studies. There is a small sample of overseas literature for critique with a focus on the inclusion of cultural safety in New Zealand. The concept of cultural safety was first introduced into New Zealand in the late 1980s. It was adopted by the New Zealand Nursing Council for nurses and midwives in 1992 and became part of the basic curriculum for nursing and midwifery education.

Title Aoteaoroa/New Zealand nursing: From eugenics to cultural safety Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Nursing Inquiry Abbreviated Journal
Volume 11 Issue 1 Pages 35-42
Keywords (up) Cultural safety; History of nursing; Nursing philosophy
Abstract The concept of cultural safety offers a unique approach to nursing practice, based on recognition of the power differentials inherent in any interaction. Clarification of the concept is offered, together with a review of the historical shift in nursing attitudes that has led to the emergence of “cultural safety” as a viable and valued component of nursing practice. The argument is made that cultural safety has allowed for a more reflective, critical understanding of the actions of nursing to develop. This includes recognition that nurses' attitudes and values have inevitably been influenced by social and political forces, and as such are in part reflective of those within the wider community. Comparison between the support given by nurses in the early 1900s to the theory of eugenics and the current acceptance of cultural safety is used to highlight this point. An examination of the literature identifies that ideological and conceptual changes have occurred in the approach of Aoteaoroa/New Zealand nurses to issues with cultural implications for practice. A review of background factors relating to Maori health status and the Treaty of Waitangi is presented as a necessary context to the overall discussion. The discussion concludes with an acknowledgement that while the rhetoric of cultural safety is now part of nursing culture in New Zealand, there is no firm evidence to evaluate its impact in practice. Issues identified as impacting on the ability to assess/research a concept, such as cultural safety, are discussed. For cultural safety to become recognised as a credible (and indispensable) tool, it is necessary to further examine the “end-point” or “outcomes” of the process.

Title A postmodern/poststructural exploration of the discursive formation of professional nursing in New Zealand 1840 – 2000 Type
Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords (up) History of nursing; Careers in nursing; Nursing philosophy
Abstract This study examines the discursive formation of professional nursing in one country, as revealed by the history of nursing in New Zealand. Michel Foucault's approach to historical research signifies a different level of analysis from conventional approaches, focusing not on the history of ideas but on an understanding of the present, a history of the present. A genealogical method derived from Foucauldian poststructuralism reveals how different understandings of nursing have occurred and have governed nursing practices and scholarship in different historical contexts. The archaeological investigation in this study reveals two moments of epistemic transformation, that is, two intervals of mutation and discontinuity. The Nightingale era in the 1880s precipitated the first epistemic shift – premodernism to modernism. The transfer of nursing education from hospital based training to the tertiary education sector, followed by the introduction of the baccalaureate degree, precipitated the second epistemic shift in the 1990s, the advent of postmodernism. Encompassing these two epistemes, six historical contexts are identified, where significant disruptions to the nursing discourses overturned previously held assumptions about what constituted a nurse. Each historical context is identified by specific discursive constructs. The first is colonial caring, the second the Nightingale ethos and the third heroic, disciplined obedience. In the fourth context, nursing is framed by, and within, discourses of skilled, humanistic caring, in the fifth, scientific, task focused managerialism, and in the 1990s, the sixth context, by multiple realities in an age of uncertainty.

Year 2001 Publication Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 7 Issue 8 Pages 17-19
Keywords (up) History of nursing; Interprofessional relations; Physicians; Nursing philosophy
Abstract This article examines the knowledge and power relationships between the medical profession and nurses during the first half of the twentieth century. It argues that the 1901 Nurses' Registration Act allowed doctors to exert control over the nursing profession and that the hierarchal structure of the profession contributes to the culture of control and surveillance.

Title (Re)positioning nursing: Watch this space Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 17 Issue 2 Pages 4-12
Keywords (up) History of nursing; Nurse practitioners
Abstract This paper traces the emergence of categories of nurse over the last hundred years from the time that the Nurses Registration Act became law in 1901. Insights from the work of Michel Foucault are utilised to show how nurses and nursing have been historically shaped and positioned. It is suggested that the recent endorsement by the Nursing Council of New Zealand of the concept and title of 'nurse practitioner' represents an opportunity for nurses to imagine what might be constructed for their roles.

Volume 20 Issue 3 Pages 4-12
Keywords (up) History of nursing; Nurse-family relations; Paediatric nursing; Parents and caregivers
Abstract Oral history accounts of the care of the hospitalised child in the context of family are used to argue that current practice paradoxes in family-centred care are historically ingrained. The article looks at the post-war period, the intervening years, and current practice, centred on the changing concept of motherhood throughout that time. The conflict between clinical expediency versus family and child needs is explored.

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 (up) 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.
