  Title Negotiated care: A model for nursing work in the renal setting Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 42 Issue 4 Pages (down) 355-363  
  Keywords Chronically ill; Nursing models; Nurse-patient relations; Communication  
  Abstract This article outlines a model for the nursing role in the chronic health care context of renal replacement therapy. Materials from several streams of literature are used to conceptualise the potential for nursing work in the renal setting as negotiated care. In order to present the role of the renal nurse in this way it is contextualised by viewing the renal setting as a specialised social context constituted by a dominant professional discourse and a contrasting client discourse. While performing specific therapeutic activities in accord with the dominant discourse, renal nurses can develop a relationship with the person living on dialysis, based on responsiveness to their subjective experience reflecting the renal client discourse. In contrast to the language of noncompliance prevalent in the renal setting, nurses can, through their relationship with renal clients, facilitate their attempts to negotiate the requirements of the therapeutic regime into their own personal life situation. Nurses can mediate between the dominant and client discourses for the person living on dialysis. Care describes the quality that nurses actively seek to create in their relationships with clients, through negotiation, in order to support them to live as fully as possible while using renal replacement therapy. The author concludes that within chronic health care contexts, shaped by the acute curative paradigm of biomedicine, the model of nursing work as negotiated care has the potential to humanise contemporary medical technologies by responding to clients' experiences of illness and therapy.

  Title Advance directives: The New Zealand context Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Nursing Ethics Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 12 Issue 4 Pages (down) 349-359  
  Keywords Law and legislation; Patient rights; Nursing; Ethics  
  Abstract Advance directives convey consumers' wishes about accepting or refusing future treatment if they become incompetent. There are associated ethical issues for health practitioners and this article considers the features that are relevant to nurses. In New Zealand, consumers have a legal right to use an advance directive that is not limited to life-prolonging care and includes general health procedures. Concerns may arise regarding a consumer's competence and the document's validity. Nurses need to understand their legal and professional obligations to comply with an advance directive. What role does a nurse play and what questions arise for a nurse when advance directives are discussed with consumers? This article considers the cultural dimensions, legal boundaries, consumers' and providers' perspectives, and the medical and nursing positions in New Zealand.

  Title Framework for teaching pharmacology to prepare graduate nurse for prescribing in New Zealand Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Nurse Education in Practice Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 7 Issue 5 Pages (down) 348-353  
  Keywords Prescribing; Nursing; Education; Pharmacology  
  Abstract The educational framework used to teach pharmacology to nurses by one university in New Zealand is presented, along with early findings on the effectiveness of this approach. Nurse prescribing is relatively new in New Zealand and is related to the expanding roles and opportunities for nurses in health care. Opposition to nurse prescribing in New Zealand has been marked and often this has been linked to concerns over patient safety with the implication that nurses could not be adequately prepared for safe prescribing.

  Title An exploration of the experiences of cultural safety educators in New Zealand: An action research approach Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Transcultural Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 4 Pages (down) 339-348  
  Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing; Education; Teaching methods; Organisational culture; Maori  
  Abstract This research is a study of the experiences of four cultural safety educators in nursing education in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Action research methods assisted the participants to implement change in their practice and gain positive personal involvement in the study. Reflective diaries provided the major tool in this process as participants were able to achieve at least one action research cycle by identifying issues, planning action, observing the action, and reflecting. The findings of the research revealed that the participants not only coped with everyday stressors of teaching but were also required to formulate knowledge for cultural safety. For the Maori participants, their stress was confounded with recruiting and retaining Maori students and macro issues such as commitment to their iwi (tribe). Lack of support to teach cultural safety was identified to be a key theme for all participants. An analysis of this theme revealed that many issues were organisational in nature and out of their control. Action research provided a change strategy for participants to have a sense of control of issues within their practice. Recommendations include the following: support for cultural safety educators to have a dialogue on a regular basis, the introduction of nurse educator programmes, paid leave provisions for educators to conduct and publish research so that a body of knowledge can be developed, and that Maori cultural safety educators be recognised for their professional and cultural strengths so that they do not fall victim to burnout.

  Title Intensive care nurses' knowledge of pressure ulcers: Development of an assessment tool and effect of an educational program Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication American Journal of Critical Care Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 17 Issue 4 Pages (down) 338-347  
  Keywords Intensive care nursing; Training; Evaluation  
  Abstract The aim of this study was to assess intensive care nurses' knowledge of pressure ulcers and the impact of an educational programme on knowledge levels. A knowledge assessment test was developed. A cohort of registered nurses in a tertiary referral hospital in New Zealand had knowledge assessed three times: before an educational programme, within two weeks after the programme, and 20 weeks later. Completion of the educational programme resulted in improved levels of knowledge. Mean scores on the assessment test were 84% at baseline and 89% following the educational programme. The mean baseline score did not differ significantly from the mean 20-week follow-up score of 85%. No association was detected between demographic data and test scores. Content validity and standard setting were verified by using a variety of methods. Levels of knowledge to prevent and manage pressure ulcers were good initially and improved with an educational programme, but soon returned to baseline.

  Title Practice nurses' experiences of the Care Plus programme: A qualitative descriptive study Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication New Zealand Family Physician Abbreviated Journal The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners website  
  Volume 34 Issue 5 Pages (down) 335-338  
  Keywords Primary health care; Chronic diseases; Nursing; Evaluation  
  Abstract The aim of this small qualitative descriptive pilot study was to describe the experiences of practice nurses delivering the Care Plus programme within the general practice setting. Care Plus was introduced into Primary Health Organisations (PHOs) in 2004. This programme encourages more involvement from practice nurses in chronic care management. For many New Zealand practice nurses this is a new role. This study, carried out prior to the larger Care Plus implementation review (2006), provides an insight into the nursing experience of implementing Care Plus and provides a basis for future studies with regard to the nurse's role within the Care Plus programme.

  Title Development of the New Zealand nursing workforce: Historical themes and current challenges Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Nursing Inquiry Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 4 Pages (down) 330-334  
  Keywords History of nursing; Nursing research; Personnel; Interprofessional relations  
  Abstract This article reviews the development of the New Zealand nursing workforce, which has been shaped by social, political, scientific and interprofessional forces. The unregulated, independent and often untrained nurses of the early colonial period were succeeded in the early 1900s by registered nurses, with hospital-based training, working in a subordinate role to medical practitioners. In the mid/late 1900s, greater specialisation within an expanding workforce, restructuring of nursing education, health sector reform, and changing social and political expectations again reshaped nursing practice. Nursing now has areas of increasing autonomy, expanding opportunities for postgraduate education and leadership roles, and a relationship with medicine, which is more collaborative than in the past. Three current challenges are identified for nursing in New Zealand's rapidly evolving health sector; development of a nursing-focused knowledge culture, strengthening of research capacity, and dissemination of new nursing knowledge.

  Title Flexible learning for postgraduate nurses: A basis for planning Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Nurse Education Today Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 24 Issue 4 Pages (down) 319-325  
  Keywords Nursing; Education; Technology; Teaching methods  
  Abstract This paper describes a survey undertaken with postgraduate nursing students in a university-based school of nursing in 2002 to establish their access to and use of computers and information technology for study. Whilst there was minimal flexibility and use of technology to support student learning for postgraduate nurses in the school, the university proposed increasing flexibility across all courses. This is in part a response to the increased internationalisation of education and developments in technology affecting programme design, delivery and support that can benefit teachers and students. The author notes that the findings of this survey form a basis for planning the introduction of flexible learning. Results indicated that not all students have convenient access to technology for study purposes, nor are they at the same level in terms of using technology.

  Title What are the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards nursing, work and career?: a descriptive exploratory study Type Book Whole
  Year 2012 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages (down) 313  
  Keywords Generation Y; Registered nurses; Workforce retention; Work-life balance; Careers in nursing  
  Abstract Undertakes a descriptive exploratory study to ascertain the views of Generation Y NZ Registered Nurses (Gen Y nurses) towards nursing, work and career. Little empirical data exists about why young New Zealanders choose to become nurses in the 21st century. Further, little is known about their future career plans or their intentions to remain in the nursing workforce. Conducts a nationwide on-line survey of 358 Gen Y nurses from late 2009 to early 2010. Reports key findings: young NZ nurses are driven by traditional values of altruism, the desire to care for others, the ability to work closely with people, as well as being able to make a strong contribution to society when deciding to become a nurse, while seeking interesting, challenging and exciting work. Job security, the ongoing demand for nurses, the ability to leave and return, as well as the ability to combine work and family, are also important factors that help them to choose to become nurses.
