Title Emotional competence and nursing education : A New Zealand study Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2008 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 24 Issue 1 (Mar) Pages 36-47
Keywords Teaching methods; Communication; Nursing; Education; Nursing models
Abstract Explores the challenges encountered by nurse educators who seek to assess aspects related to emotional competence in nursing students. This emotional competence includes nurses managing their own emotional life along with the skill to relate effectively to the multiple colleagues and agencies that nurses work alongside. The research was designed to explore the views of nurse educators about the challenges they encounter when seeking to assess a student's development of emotional competence during the three year bachelor of nursing degree. Focus groups were used to obtain from educators evidence of feeling and opinion as to how theory and practice environments influence student nurses' development of emotional competence. The process of thematic analysis was utilised and three key themes arose as areas of importance to the participants. These were personal and social competence collectively comprises emotional competence in nursing; emotional competence is a key component of fitness to practise; and transforming caring into practice. The findings of the study indicate a need for definition of what emotional competence is in nursing. It is argued that educators and practicing nurses, who work alongside students, must uphold the expectation that emotional competence is a requisite ability and should themselves be able to role model emotionally competent communication.

Title Nurse employment in primary care: UK and New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2008 Publication New Zealand Family Physician Abbreviated Journal The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners website
Volume 35 Issue 1 Pages 4-10
Keywords Primary health care; Scope of practice; Nursing models
Abstract The researchers evaluate and compare the organisation of general practice in the UK and New Zealand. A key aim of the Primary Health Care Strategy is a reduction in health inequalities. Locally, some nurse leaders suggest that changing nurse practice employment from general practitioners to Primary Health Organisations will achieve this aim. The authors take lessons from the UK and suggest that nurses organising themselves into peer groups, remuneration of general practices for the attainment of positive patient outcomes, and a statutory duty of clinical governance, all contributed to the development of practice nurses' roles and expansion of numbers of nurse practitioners in general practice. Nurses have become partners with general practitioners in general practice in the UK, which the authors suggest is a much preferable alternative for some than employment by a Primary Health Organisation.

Title Wellness for all: The possibilities of cultural safety and cultural competence in New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2008 Publication Journal of Research in Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 13 Issue 2 Pages 125-135
Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing models; Cross-cultural comparison; Maori
Abstract The author contends that responses to cultural diversity in nursing need to consider the theory and practice developments of the profession, whilst also responding to broader social and historical process that prevent marginalised groups from utilising universal health services. A combination of approaches is suggested in this paper to meet these two imperatives. Cultural safety is one indigenous New Zealand nursing approach derived in response to inequalities for Maori, whereas cultural competence is an imported paradigm derived from a multicultural context. Furthermore, research and dialogue are required to examine points of complementarity and tension. This paper offers a beginning for this process.

Title Meihana model: A clinical assessment framework Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2007 Publication New Zealand Journal of Psychology Abbreviated Journal
Volume 36 Issue 3 Pages 118-125
Keywords Nursing models; Clinical assessment; Maori; Mental health
Abstract In 1984 Mason Durie documented a framework for understanding Maori health, Te Whare Tapa Wha, which has subsequently become embedded in Maori health policy. This article presents a specific assessment framework, the Meihana Model, which encompasses the four original cornerstones of Te Whare Tapa Wha, and inserts two additional elements. These form a practice model (alongside Maori beliefs, values and experiences) to guide clinical assessment and intervention with Maori clients and whanau accessing mental health services. This paper outlines the rationale for and background of the Meihana Model and then describes each dimension: whanau, wairua, tinana, hinengaro, taiao and iwi katoa. The model provides a basis for a more comprehensive assessment of clients/whanau to underpin appropriate treatment decisions.

Title Weaving the contemporary position of maatauranga Maaori within nursing practice Type
Year (down) 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Maori; Culture; Nursing models; Nursing; Health status
Abstract This thesis explores the customary kaupapa of Matauranga Maori or Maori knowledge, which the author identifies as the appropriate technique to determine how health care should be maintained by and for Maori. The research highlights the need to meld these kaupapa with that of a contemporary Maori viewpoint, to focus more on a deeper enhancement of these kaupapa, and develop an understanding of the social, cultural, educational, political and economic contexts these concepts have on Maori as a people. This research identified six Maori registered women nurses, who shared their experiences regarding Matauranga Maori and its importance to their nursing practice. Over a period of one year, in-depth conversations unfolded and produced data on what Matauranga Maori involves and how the six participants in the study believe it influences their nursing practices. All were currently practicing nurses within various health settings such as psychiatric and comprehensive nursing. From the inception of this study, the focus was to introduce Matauranga Maori as the epistemological framework of choice. The author notes that the findings of this research indicate that a collection of key kaupapa, namely whakapapa, whanaungatanga, te reo Maori, wairuatanga, tuurangawaewae, manaakitanga and rangatiratanga are crucial to the health and wellbeing of Maori as a people. These kaupapa enable Maori to determine and strengthen their worldview, which in turn reflects the concept of being Maori thereby contributing to the health and status of their whanau, hapu and iwi. She goes on to say that the findings support the view that there is a substantial collection of kaupapa, which are inherent in Matauranga Maori as being able to provide a framework for theoretical research. These kaupapa will provide a framework for nursing practice and educational curricula that will develop and maintain nursing standards to meet the needs of Maori.

Title Caring for obese patients in a culturally safe way Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2007 Publication Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 13 Issue 4 Pages 14-16
Keywords Nursing models; Obesity; Cultural safety
Abstract The authors review the contemporary notion of obesity and suggest that the nursing approach, with an emphasis on treatment, are shaped by a culture located within “western” views of ideal body shape. The biomedical framework regards obesity as disease and obese people as the cause of their own health problems. The authors note varying cultural interpretations of obesity, and suggest that by viewing obesity as a disease, the cultural, social or economic determinants of obesity are not acknowledged. Nursing needs to broaden the concept of the categories of difference to respond in a culturally safe way to obesity. Cultural safety asks that nurses care for people “regardful” of difference. This means nurses must reflect on the care given, so that the biomedical model is not just replicated. Nurse-led clinics offer an opportunity for practices based on nursing values of care and cultural safety. Such clinics are based on nursing's social model of health, rather than a biomedical, disease-focused model.

Title Relating to families through their seasons of life: An indigenous practice model Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2007 Publication Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 13 Issue 5 Pages 18-3
Keywords Parents and caregivers; Nursing models; Nurse-family relations; Communication
Abstract In this article the authors introduce an alternative way that nurses can be with families, using a relational process that can enhance nurses' responses when working with those transitioning to parenthood. Seasons of Life, a framework adapted from the Maori health model He Korowai Oranga, emerged from practice to offer a compassionate and encouraging stance, while at the same time respecting each family's realities and wishes. The model allows the exploration of the transition to parenthood within a wellness model, and takes a strengths-based approach to emotional distress. This approach provides a sense of “normality”, rather than of pathology, for the emotions experienced by new parents. The specific issues men may face are discussed, where despite recent culture change that allows men a more nurturing parental role, there is still no clear understanding of how men articulate their sense of pleasure or distress at this time. Practitioners are encouraged to examine their own assumptions, values and beliefs, and utilise tools such as reflective listening, respect, insight and understanding. The most significant aspect of relationship between nurse and parents is not the outcome, but how nurses engage with families. Examples from practice will demonstrate some of the differing ways this relational process framework has been effective.

Title Model of care development: Moving between liaison and complex care coordination in the community health setting Type
Year (down) 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Community health nursing; Nursing models
Abstract Healthcare systems in New Zealand and the western world are grappling with changes with an aging population; increased use of technology resulting in shorter inpatient stays, increasing chronic illness rates and people with complex health needs. Supporting people through the health system and meeting their needs is an aim of all services. Trying to support seamless transition and manage complex care requirements has become important for community health services. In the district health board, where the author works, the role of Liaison Nurse/Complex Coordinator was established to support this. This role has become important in reviewing what the best model of care for Community Health Services is and how to describe the current practices in this context in an appropriate way. The first section of the report reviews the literature and current practice in relation to liaison nursing. This section explores how to make the role clear and identify its clinical and organisational effectiveness, drawing out the key elements and aspects for this role that will contribute to a model of care. The second section progresses onto the clinical work related to managing patients with chronic illness and complex needs. Utilising literature to inform current practice when supporting patients through health transitions to achieve seamless care and identifying key aspects required to manage this and adding these aspects to the model of care. Following this, a review of current care models available and in use in the health care systems is undertaken. There are some elements and aspects similar in these models and those explicated in the previous sections. Finally a model of care is developed bringing all the key aspects and elements together. This model describes the practice of Liaison/Complex Coordination role in community health service in New Zealand and identifies the need for care, provision of care, outcomes of care provided and impact for the service and organisation. The author suggests that this model is relevant for any liaison or complex coordination role and could be a basis for other models of care to expand upon the specific needs for their services.
