Title 'No suicide contracts' in community crisis situations: A conceptual analysis Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Journal of Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 10 Issue 2 Pages 199-202
Keywords Mental health; Community health nursing; Psychology; Suicide
Abstract (up) 'No suicide contracts' take the form of a 'guarantee of safety', along with a 'promise' to call specified persons if the suicidal ideation becomes unmanageable for the person concerned. They are commonly used in community crisis situations with suicidal people in New Zealand. This article describes and analyses the use of 'no suicide contracts' in these settings. It is argued that the theoretical base (transactional analysis) of the 'no suicide contract' is likely to be deleterious in the community crisis situation.

Title Advanced 'prescribing' of nurses' emergency holding powers under New Zealand mental health legislation Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication International Journal of Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 11 Issue 3 Pages 164-169
Keywords Mental health; Law and legislation; Psychiatric Nursing; Scope of practice
Abstract (up) A new approach to mental health legislation has seen the involvement of a range of health professionals in legislated mental health roles, including the power of registered nurses to detain patients in hospital under Section 111 of the New Zealand Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act (1992). Under this Section, a nurse who believes that a voluntary patient meets the legal criteria of the Act can independently detain the patient for a period of up to six hours, pending further assessment by a medical practitioner. However, anecdotal evidence and a clinical audit undertaken by the authors suggest some doctors 'prescribe' Section 111 at the time of admission. This practice instructs nurses to initiate Section 111 if particular voluntary patients choose to leave hospital. This study outlines practice issues resulting from 'prescribing' Section 111; provides a legal critique of medical practitioners' involvement in this practice; and makes recommendations for guidelines toward a more constructive use of Section 111.

Title How accountable is accountable for mental health nurses? Type
Year 2004 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Accountability; Nursing; Mental health
Abstract (up) Accountability has been described by nurses as an elusive concept or myth. The author suggests that this elusive concept or myth can partly be attributed to accountability becoming visible usually following a critical incident. The overall goal of this project is to provide nurses working within mental health with the incentive to raise their awareness and explore what their roles and responsibilities are within the accountability process in a more positive scenario. This research paper reports on an exploration of the key components of accountability within the New Zealand mental health environment. It describes significant influences that affect accountability. This is achieved by the means of a literature review, sharing of the author's experience of being involved in a national inquiry, and the adaptation of a who what and how framework, in conjunction with a diagram displaying accountability levels and lines for mental health nurses. The author points out that the domains of accountability for nurses will continue to evolve and expand but what remains important is that consumers have access to good quality mental health care.
