| Title | Suctioning adults with an artifical airway: A systematic review | Type |
Book Whole | ||
| Year | 2000 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Subscriber access at the Joanna Briggs Institute | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Evidence-based medicine; Nursing research | ||||
| Abstract | This systematic review was conducted by the New Zealand Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, a collaborating centre of The Joanna Briggs Institute for Evidence Based Nursing and Midwifery. The aim was to present the best available evidence on interventions, which are effective in preventing or reducing the prevalence of complications associated with suctioning, in hospitalised adult patients with an artificial airway who are breathing spontaneously or are artificially ventilated and who require suctioning. The specific questions addressed were as follows: Which methods of suctioning reduce the prevalence of mucosal trauma or mucosal dysfunction, and promote the removal of respiratory secretions? Which techniques or methods are effective in reducing the occurrence of suctioning -induced hypoxaemia, during or following the suctioning procedure? Which techniques or methods are effective in minimising the haemodynamic or pulmonary complications associated with the suctioning procedure? | ||||

| Title | To advance health care: The origins of nursing research in New Zealand | Type |
Book Whole | ||
| Year | 2009 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | ||
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 129 pp | ||
| Keywords | Nursing Research Section, New Zealand Nurses Organisation | ||||
| Abstract | This book examines in detail the confluence of personalities and professional and practice agendas, out of which emerged the research section, intent on placing research at the centre of the profession's evolution. It provides a fascinating look at how a group of women, utterly committed to nursing, drove their research agenda and it expands understandings of why nursing research is significant for the development of nursing. It also provides an insight into that web of relationships between the professional body, NZNA, the Department of Health, service delivery and education.

| Title | A survey of mental health nurses' opinion of barriers and supports for research | Type |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2005 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 21 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 24-32 |
| Keywords | Professional development; Mental health; Nursing research | ||||
| Abstract | This paper reports the findings of a preliminary survey of two district health boards, which shows that high workloads and lack of relief staffing appear as the greatest hurdles to mental health nurses participating in practice-based nursing research. A further constraint on their participation is lack of research expertise and experience. Consultative discussions with senior mental health nurses support these conclusions. In this paper, mentoring and flexible research designs are promoted as possible ways of overcoming these barriers. | ||||

| Title | Incorporation of research into clinical practice: The development of a clinical nurse researcher position | Type |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2005 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 21 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 33-42 |
| Keywords | Emergency nursing; Nursing research; Hospitals | ||||
| Abstract | The author backgrounds the development of the role of an innovative Nurse Researcher (Emergency Medicine) role at Christchurch Hospital. She describes the emergency department and the factors leading to the creation of the role. Specific nursing research projects are reviewed, and the nature of nursing in relation to research is discussed. The author argues that the nurse researcher is integral to the expansion of evidence-based nursing, and that the role of Clinical Nurse Researcher in the emergency department has resulted in a higher profile for research, and the gradual integration of research as a clinical skill with direct practical relevance. | ||||

| Title | A Trojan Horse for positivism? A critique of mixed methods research | Type |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2007 | Publication | Advances in Nursing Science | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 30 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 52-60 |
| Keywords | Nursing research; Methodology; Evaluation | ||||
| Abstract | This paper presents an analysis of mixed methods research, which the authors suggest is captured by a pragmatically inflected form of post-positivism. Although it passes for an alternative methodological movement that purports to breach the divide between qualitative and quantitative research, most mixed methods studies favour the forms of analysis and truth finding associated with positivism. The authors anticipate a move away from exploring more philosophical questions or undertaking modes of enquiry that challenge the status quo. At the same time, they recognise that mixed methods research offers particular strengths and that, although it serves as a Trojan Horse for positivism, it may productively carry other paradigmatic passengers. | ||||

| Title | Integrative review of parenting in nursing research | Type |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2006 | Publication | Journal of Nursing Scholarship | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 38 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 56-62 |
| Keywords | Parents and caregivers; Nursing research; Evaluation | ||||
| Abstract | The authors synthesise and critically analyse parenting research in nursing. They focused on studies published between 1993 and 2004 by nurse researchers in peer-reviewed journals. Data were organised and analysed with a sample of 17 nursing research studies from core nursing journals. The majority of parenting research has been focused on mothers, primarily about parenting children with physical or developmental disabilities. Research about fathers as parents is sparse. Parenting across cultures, parenting in the context of family, and theoretical frameworks for parenting research are not well developed. The authors conclude that the scope of nursing research on parenting is limited. | ||||

| Title | Mixed-methods research: Positivism dressed in drag | Type |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2006 | Publication | Journal of Research in Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 11 | Issue | 3 | Pages | 195-203 |
| Keywords | Methodology; Nursing research | ||||
| Abstract | The author critiques the claim that mixed method research is a third methodology, and the implied belief that the mixing of qualitative and quantitative methods will produce the 'best of both worlds'. The author suggests that this assumption, combined with inherent promises of inclusiveness, takes on a reality and certainty in research findings that serves well the powerful nexus of economic restraint and evidence-based practice. The author argues that the use of the terms 'qualitative' and 'quantitative' as normative descriptors reinforces their binary positioning, effectively marginalising the methodological diversity within them. Ideologically, mixed methods covers for the continuing hegemony of positivism, albeit in its more moderate, postpositivist form. If naively interpreted, mixed methods could become the preferred approach in the teaching and doing of research. The author concludes that rather than the promotion of more co-operative and complex designs for increasingly complex social and health issues, economic and administrative pressures may lead to demands for the 'quick fix' that mixed methods appears to offer. | ||||

| Title | Thinking through diagnosis: Process in nursing practice | Type |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 1986 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 1 | Issue | 4 | Pages | 9-12 |
| Keywords | Diagnosis; Nursing philosophy; Nursing research | ||||
| Abstract | A paper following on from the paper “Between the idea and reality” (Nursing Praxis in New Zealand 1(2), 17-29) proposing the focus for the discipline of nursing – practice and research – is diagnosis. For nursing practice, diagnosis is a practice that collapses “The Nursing Process”; for research to develop nursing practice, diagnosis is one continuous relational process that merges and makes the separate tasks od assessment, intervention and evaluation redundant. | ||||

| Title | Shadow dancing in the wings: Lesbian women talk about health care | Type |
Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2001 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 17 | Issue | 3 | Pages | 27-39 |
| Keywords | Sexuality; Patient satisfaction; Nursing research; Quality of health care; Feminist critique | ||||
| Abstract | A participatory approach, grounded in both critical social and feminist research, was used in this study of seven women who claim being lesbian as part of their identity. With the objective of providing information to enhance safe care provision for this marginalised group, the study explored factors which hindered or facilitated these women's sense of safety related to health care. The findings indicate that barriers to receiving health care exist for these women. As there is little local or international research on lesbians and healthcare, this work offers a starting place for future New Zealand nursing research involving lesbians. The authors encourage other nurses to explore previously ignored sections of our society in order to strive for safety for all those whom nursing serves. | ||||

| Volume | 16 | Issue | 3 | Pages | 252-258 |
| Keywords | Nursing research; Nursing; Education | ||||
| Abstract | This article introduces an innovation in writing master's level research and suggests that other structures may offer new and different frameworks for reporting nursing research. This is exemplified by reference to an example of nursing research which adopted the sonata form of musical composition as the framework for presentation of the thesis. | ||||
