  Title A theoretical model of social consciousness Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Advances in Nursing Science Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 28 Issue 3 Pages 224-239  
  Keywords Attitude of health personnel; Feminist critique; Nursing models  
  Abstract The article presents a theoretical model of social consciousness developed from nurses' life histories. A 3-position dialectical framework (acquired, awakened, and expanded social consciousness) makes visible the way people respond to social injustice in their lives and in the lives of others. The positions coexist, are not hierarchical, and are contextually situated. A person's location influences her or his availability for social action. Nurses who could most contribute to challenging social injustices that underpin health disparities are relegated to the margins of mainstream nursing by internal processes of discrimination. The author suggests that more inclusive definitions of “a nurse” would open up possibilities for social change.

  Title Entry criteria as predictor of performance in an undergraduate nursing degree programme Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Nurse Education Today Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 27 Issue 7 Pages 593-600  
  Keywords Nursing; Education; Curriculum; Evaluation  
  Abstract This research explored the relationship between entry criteria and academic performance in the first and second year bioscience papers at Otago Polytechnic School of Nursing. The School's inclusion of a bioscience requirement varies from the Nursing Council criteria for acceptance into undergraduate nursing programmes. Six hundred and nineteen academic records of 1994-2002 graduates were sampled. Chi-square and correlational analyses found a relationship between entry qualifications and students' academic performance in the two papers. The entry criteria had a stronger relationship with the students' performance in the first year bioscience paper than the second year paper. Performance in the first year was predicative of second year performance. Age was also found to be a useful predictor of grades. These findings support the School's Bioscience entry criteria and provide important information for admission committees.

  Title Nursing their way not our way: Working with vulnerable and marginalised populations Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 27 Issue 2 Pages 165-176  
  Keywords Maori; Geriatric nursing; Nurse-patient relations  
  Abstract This paper uses the findings of two studies to explore the nature of nurses' practice when working with vulnerable and marginalised populations, particularly with regard to the attributes of holism and individualised care. The first study was with the elderly with delirium and used a critical gerontological methodology informed by postmodernism and Foucault's understanding of discourse. The other study with indigenous Maori women utilised Glaserian grounded theory informed by a Maori-centred methodology. The findings show that a problem focussed approach to health care is offered to patients that does not incorporate individual health experiences. In addition, the social context integral to people's lives outside of the health care environment is ignored. Consequently, the foundations of nursing practice, that of holism, is found to be merely a rhetorical construct.

  Title Preconceptions and learning to be a nurse Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Nurse Education Today Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 27 Issue 8 Pages 878-884  
  Keywords Nursing; Education; Attitude of health personnel; Theory  
  Abstract This article discusses the important role that preconceptions play in the process by which students learn to be nurses. The importance of preconceptions emerged from the analysis of data in a grounded theory study that sought to gain a greater understanding of how undergraduate student nurses in New Zealand experienced and responded to differences they perceived between the theory and the practice of nursing. It became clear that the preconceptions each student nurse held about the nature of nurses and nursing care were the standards against which the worth of the formal, practical and personal theories to which students were exposed during their nursing degree was evaluated. It was clear that preconceptions functioned as the mediator between the intentions of nursing education and the learning that eventuated for each student from practicum experiences. The implications for nursing education, for which preconceptions are not generally highly valued as a basis for learning about professional nursing, are that the individual experience and personal characteristics of each student receive significant focus when a nursing programme is planned. This means that the orthodox principles that underpin the design of nursing curricula should be reviewed and an overtly constructivist perspective adopted for nursing education for which the prior experiences of the student are the starting point.
