  Title The therapeutic relationship: Historical development and contemporary significance Type Journal Article
  Year 2001 Publication Journal of Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 8 Issue 2 Pages (down) 129-137  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Nursing models; History of nursing; Nurse-patient relations  
  Abstract This article examines the therapeutic relationship, a concept held by many to be fundamental to the identity of mental health nurses. While the therapeutic relationship was given formal expression in nursing theory in the middle of the last century, its origins can be traced to attendants' interpersonal practices in the asylum era. The dominance of medical understandings of mental distress, and the working-class status of asylum attendants, prevented the development of an account of mental health nursing based on attendants' relationships with asylum inmates. It was left to Peplau and other nursing theorists to describe mental health nursing as a therapeutic relationship in the 1940s and later. Some distinctive features of colonial life in New Zealand suggest that the ideal of the attendant as the embodiment of bourgeoisie values seems particularly unlikely to have been realised in the New Zealand context. However, New Zealand literature from the 20th century shows that the therapeutic relationship, as part of a general development of a therapeutic discourse, came to assume a central place in conceptualisations of mental health nursing. While the therapeutic relationship is not by itself a sufficient basis for professional continuity, it continues to play a fundamental role in mental health nurses' professional identity. The way in which the therapeutic relationship is articulated in the future will determine the meaning of the therapeutic relationship for future generations of mental health nurses.

  Title To advance health care: The origins of nursing research in New Zealand Type Book Whole
  Year 2009 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages (down) 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 Registered nurses as responsible clinicians under the New Zealand Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act 1992 Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication International Journal of Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 15 Issue 2 Pages (down) 128-134  
  Keywords Advanced nursing practice; Psychiatric Nursing; Law and legislation  
  Abstract The objectives of this research were to determine how many registered nurses are working as 'responsible clinicians', under what phases of the legislation they are functioning, and to describe the enabling processes and barriers to nurses undertaking this statutory role. An anonymous descriptive survey was distributed to the 11 nurses who were currently responsible clinicians as well as five senior nurses selected from each of the 21 district health boards and the Auckland Regional Forensic Psychiatry Services (n=121). The response rate was 88.4% (n=107). The survey questioned respondents on statutory roles currently undertaken. Respondents were asked whether the responsible clinician role was a legitimate one for nurses and whether they were motivated to attain it. They were also asked which competencies of the role they believed they met, their perceptions of credentialing processes and the educational requirements needed to achieve the role. Of the approximately 395 responsible clinicians nationally, 11 (2.8%) are nurses. Most nurses viewed the role as legitimate. However, many were unaware of competencies for the role and credentialing processes, and were somewhat ambivalent about achieving the role due to current workload, role conflict and lack of remuneration. Competency deficits were highlighted. The authors conclude that there are grounds to encourage nurses as responsible clinicians given the intent of the legislation. This will require the promulgation of appropriate mental health policy, and a concerted effort by major stakeholders in mental health service delivery.

  Title Reflexivity and detachment: A discursive approach to women's depression Type Journal Article
  Year 2002 Publication Nursing Inquiry Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 9 Issue 2 Pages (down) 126-132  
  Keywords Gender; Mental health; Psychiatric Nursing; Culture  
  Abstract This paper explores a discursive approach to understanding women's depression by presenting the results of research into women's narratives of their experiences. The discursive approach taken acknowledges women's immersion in cultural practices that determine the subject positions available to them and places a value on attributes of reflexivity and detachment that are not usually associated with their performance. The social and cultural context of the individual's experience is significant because if the focus is simply on the individual this supposes that the problem lies solely with the individual. An understanding of cultural expectations and their relation to mental distress is important to mental health nursing practice. The psychotherapeutic relationship that is fundamental to mental health nursing practice requires an understanding of the meaning of individual's responses in their cultural context in order to provide facilitative and meaningful care for the women that they nurse.

  Title Psychiatric diagnosis: Some implications for mental health nursing care Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 53 Issue 1 Pages (down) 125-131  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Diagnosis; Culture; Gender; Socioeconomic factors; Nursing models  
  Abstract This article explores some of the functions of psychiatric diagnosis and the implications this has for mental health nursing care. It critiques the psychiatric diagnosis as a categorisation process that maintains oppressive power relations within society, by establishing and enforcing normality through gender, culture and class biases. The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is used to illustrate some of the inherent biases in the diagnostic process. The author argues that mental health nursing practice needs to demonstrate an awareness of the power relations inherent in any diagnostic process and make attempts to redress these at both the individual and sociopolitical levels. To create a true patient-centred partnership in mental health nursing, the nursing focus should be on the patient's experience rather than the psychiatric diagnosis with which the experience is attributed.

  Title Wellness for all: The possibilities of cultural safety and cultural competence in New Zealand Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Journal of Research in Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 13 Issue 2 Pages (down) 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.

  Year 2003 Publication Policy, Politics, & Nursing Practice Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 4 Issue 2 Pages (down) 120-130  
  Keywords Nursing; Recruitment and retention; Policy; Cross-cultural comparison; Nursing research

Overall, an understanding of the relationships among nurse staffing and organisational climate to patient safety and health outcomes is beginning to emerge in the literature. Little is known about nursing turnover and more evidence is needed with consistent definitions and control of underlying patient characteristics. Research and policy initiatives in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and the United States are summarised.
