  Title Nurse case management: A review of the literature Type
  Year 1999 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Nursing; Nursing specialties; Surgery; Care plans  
  Abstract This literature review is an exploration of nurse case management and it will provide the background for the introduction of a nursing case management model in the acute surgical environment at Western Bay Health. Case management is a collaborative process which assesses, plans, implements, co-ordinates, monitors and evaluates options and services to meet an individual's health needs through communication and available resources to promote quality, cost-effective outcomes (Newell, 1996:.3). In undertaking this review it was the author's intention to include the findings as background to a business case seeking the introduction of a surgical nurse case management model within the surgical service.

Author Keene, J.M. openurl 
  Title The role of the nurse in the outpatient setting Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Nursing; Nursing specialties  
  Abstract Outpatient nurses are often seen as nurses who are less important or skilled and can no longer physically cope with working in busy wards. This report is aimed to challenge this presumption and show that there are many educated and highly skilled nurses working in these departments. The diversity of the role of the nurse within the continued advancement of nursing practice in the outpatient department is evidence to disprove the perceptions other nurses have of the outpatient nurse. The purpose of this report was to discuss the changing role of the outpatient nurse from 'handmaiden' to 'autonomous practitioner', and secondly, to discuss nurse-led services and what experience and/or skills these nurses are expected to have to fulfill these roles. Literature was gathered to inform this report from the academic circles, policy from the Ministry of Health, the District Health Board website, and in relation to the author's own role with the outpatient department.

Author Mortensen, A.; White, G.E. openurl 
  Title The process of destigmatisation: The work of sexual health nurses Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 19 Issue 1 Pages 32-39  
  Keywords Nursing specialties; Sexual and reproductive health; Attitude to health  
  Abstract The focus of this article is on the findings of a grounded theory study of sexual health nursing in New Zealand. Nurses' experiences of providing sexual health care are described and theoretical explanations generated. The emphasis in this article is on countering stigma which emerged as a recurrent problem for nurses in the study. A comparative analysis of the nurses' counter reactions with Gilmore and Somerville's (1994) model of stigmatised reactions towards people with sexually transmitted diseases was done. The model describes the processes of disidentification, depersonalisation, scapegoating, and discrimination, which characterise stigmatised reactions. Nurses' understandings of the impact of socioeconomic conditions and gender/power relations in society have an important role to play in how nurses manage care. The concept of destigmatisation, which seeks to counteract negative social attitudes, is discussed. The study showed that as a consequence of their work nurses in this study encountered professional stigma and marginalisation.

Author Clendon, J.; McBride, K. openurl 
  Title Public health nurses in New Zealand: The impact of invisibility Type Journal Article
  Year 2001 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 17 Issue 2 Pages 24-32  
  Keywords Public health; Nursing specialties  
  Abstract This research study examined the role of the public health nurse. Utilising community needs analysis method, 17 key informants and two focus groups were asked questions to determine perceptions of the public health nurse. Findings indicated that participants lacked knowledge regarding the role. Additional findings intimated that participants had difficulty in accessing public health nurse services and that 'knowing the system' was beneficial to receiving needed care. One of the major conclusions of this study was that many facets of care managed by public health nurses were invisible to the communities in which they work. Conclusions suggest that public health nurses need to enhance their service by improving accessibility to services and promoting their service in a more visible manner.

  Keywords Advanced nursing practice; Nursing specialties; Nursing models

  Title Comparison of catheter-securing devices Type Journal Article
  Year 2000 Publication Urologic Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 20 Issue 1 Pages 43-46  
  Keywords Nursing specialties; Evaluation  
  Abstract This study evaluates methods of securing urethral urinary catheters, which are a major part of urologic nursing. Basic procedures such as these are poorly researched or reported in the literature. The question of how to secure a urinary catheter and with what device often relies on knowledge, availability of equipment, and on information supplied by manufacturers of commercial devices. This study finds that sometimes the cheaper option of adhesive tape and pin device can still be the best for patients.

  Title Enuresis in children and young people: A public health nurse approach in New Zealand Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Journal of Child Health Care Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 8 Issue 2 Pages 92-101  
  Keywords Public health; Nursing specialties; Children; Adolescents  
  Abstract This article discusses a child/adolescent-centred primary nocturnal enuresis program and service that is administered by a group of public health nurses in South Auckland. Enuresis is the involuntary passing of urine. Many children and adolescents who are nocturnal enuretics exhibit behaviours such as low self-esteem, withdrawal, less ambition and increased anxiety. These children are often low achievers within the school system and become a problem for their family and school.

  Title Mental health nursing in New Zealand primary health care Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 21 Issue 1 Pages 142-152  
  Keywords Mental health; Primary health care; Nursing specialties; Community health nursing  
  Abstract This article describes the move in mental health from institutional care to community arrangements. It draws on international literature and New Zealand health policy, which gives increased emphasis to the role of the primary health care sector in responding to mental health issues. These issues include the need for health promotion, improved detection and treatment of mild to moderate mental illness, and provision of mental health care to some of those with severe mental illness who traditionally receive care in secondary services. These developments challenge specialist mental health nurses to develop new roles which extend their practice into primary health care. In some parts of New Zealand this process has been under way for some time in the form of shared care projects. However developments currently are ad hoc and leave room for considerable development of specialist mental health nursing roles, including roles for nurse practitioners in primary mental health care.

  Title Accepting the challenge: Registered nurses' experiences of undertaking the statutory role of Responsible Clinician in New Zealand Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Mental health; Registered nurses; Nursing specialties; Scope of practice  
  Abstract This aim of this thesis was to explore and describe registered nurses' experiences of undertaking the statutory role of Responsible Clinician under the Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992. The role of Responsible Clinician has been available to nurses since 1992 yet to date there has been little research into nurses' experiences of undertaking this role. An exploratory descriptive approach was therefore used in this study. A convenience sample of four nurses who had been undertaking the role of Responsible Clinician was recruited. Their experiences were elicited through in-depth interviews. Analysis of the interview material revealed the themes of legitimacy, relationships, expanding practice, responsibility and accountability, approaches to care, nurses' responsiveness to the role and support of the role. The author points to this research being important to nurses who are working in the psychiatric mental health area so that they can understand the role more fully. In this way, more nurses may choose to undertake the role of Responsible Clinician.
