Abstract |
This interpretive inquiry explores the lived experience of 3 undergraduate nursing students and one midwifery student who have panic attacks. The aim of the research is to give voice to these students and to raise awareness among nurse educators about the impact that panic attacks may have for them. The research question asks, “what is the lived experience of panic attack in undergraduate nursing students?” A semi structured interview was conducted with each student in order to gain significant data. The research identified four key themes implicit to the lived experience of panic attack analysis: Listen to the beat of my heart (embodiedness), fearfulness, shamefulness, and holding one's own (coping). The findings suggest that the lived experience of panic attack is embedded in the lifeworld of lived body, lived time, lived relation, and lived space. Panic attack affects students physically and emotionally and interpersonally. The significant finding is that nurse educators need be aware of the coping or non-coping strategies used by students and, most importantly, recognise the impact that panic attacks have on their study. |

Abstract |
This thesis is a theoretical exploration of the concepts of 'Compulsive caregiving' and 'helping profession syndrome' in relation to the choice of nursing as a career. These concepts are derived from Bowlby's attachment theory and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Both have evolved from psychoanalytic theory. The thesis explains Bowlby's development of compulsive caregiving in health professionals. The author notes that her life history and experience as a nurse educator and as a nurse practicing psychotherapy support this theoretical explanation. An argument is developed that the propensity towards compulsive caregiving is a strength in nurses. Nursing places high value on caring and many of the traits exhibited by compulsive caregivers are desirable in nurses. Nursing as a caring interpersonal process is explored with reference to the literature. However, nursing has been identified as a stressful occupation. Support strategies such as professional supervision and reflective practice are discussed. Thesis concludes with a suggestion for further research on compulsive caregiving and helping profession syndrome. |

Abstract |
This paper seeks to understand the aetiology of stigma. The word stigma comes from the Greek language and refers to a brand, a mark of shame. Society has used this phenomenon to mark those who do not fit with the stereotypical virtual identity expected by a group. Stigma has persisted throughout the ages to enforce norms and sanction rules. Stigma is a term used to broadly define an attitude to negative attributes. It is a way of treating people that indicates to the individual, they are different from the norm. Research indicates the general population has discriminatory attitudes to those who have experienced mental illness. This discrimination impacts on the lives of those people. Their stories tell of shame, sadness and anguish. Families too, feel the ongoing effects of stigma. Psychiatric mental health professionals are said to perpetuate the discrimination arising from the stigma of mental illness. This is shown in the literature to persist through labelling and disempowering practices. The attitude of nurses in particular is critical to promoting healing environments. It is thought that a humanistic altruistic approach to nursing practice will help to eliminate discriminatory practice by nurses. It is hoped that this approach will create collaborative care that gives the individual the respect, response, choice and support they need to assist in recovering from mental illness. |

Abstract |
Describes the behavioural and psychological symptoms associated with dementia, including depression, agitation, psychosis, hallucinations, delusions and apathy. Employs an integrative review to investigate why care-givers resort to anti-psychotic medication in the first instance instead of non-pharmacological interventions to manage such symptoms. Identifies three themes: low staff-to-patient ratios, insufficient specialised staff; inadequate understanding of the manifestations of dementia. |

Abstract |
Identifies the experiences of NZ cancer nurses whose primary role is to care for patients aged 20 or older, and their whanau/family, and describes the factors that may influence care. Examines whether nurses received training in the management of stressors associated with caring for cancer patients, either during their training or while in the cancer workplace setting. Considers whether nurses working in peripheral (satellite) cancer centres were at more risk than their colleagues in larger regional centres. Conducts a quantitative, descriptive and anonymous survey of members of the Cancer Nurses' Section of the NZNO, using the Professional Quality of Life (ProQOL) questionnaire, which scores compassion fatigue, compassion satisfaction and burnout. |
