Title Historical investigations: Risk management in a New Zealand hospital, 1888-1904 Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 22 Issue 2 Pages 33-38
Keywords Risk management; History; Patient safety
Abstract This article examines historical events within one hospital and compares them with contemporary risk management practices. The examples involve a nurse sustaining injury in the course of her work, a fire in the hospital and two instances of patient complaints – one concerning nursing care and the other relating to a time lag between admission to hospital and receiving medical attention. Analysis of the processes followed in investigating these occurrences reveals that these historic investigations were small in scale and less bureaucratic than contemporary practice, and were based on a culture of blame. This is contrasted with modern risk management practices which are more focused on understanding what can be learned from the incident with respect to preventing recurrence.

Year 2004 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 20 Issue 3 Pages 4-12
Keywords 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 Advanced nursing practice: Time and meaning Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 19 Issue 3 Pages 29-39
Keywords 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 (down) 17 Issue 3 Pages 51-61
Keywords 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 (Re)positioning nursing: Watch this space Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 17 Issue 2 Pages 4-12
Keywords 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.

Title Development of the New Zealand nursing workforce: Historical themes and current challenges Type Journal Article
Year 2007 Publication Nursing Inquiry Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 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.
