  Title Methodological issues with case study research Type Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication (up) Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume 1 Issue 1 Pages 9-11  
  Keywords Research, nursing; Research methodology; Study design; data analysis; Data collection methods  
  Abstract Case study research, as a qualitative methodology, attracts some criticism, especially related to rigour, reliability and validity. A New Zealand-based study that explored complex phenomena – flexible learning for postgraduate nurses – provides a practical example of how the case study design can address these criticisms. Through describing the mixed methods used, different sources and methods of data collection, and data analysis, the process of achieving data quality and trustworthiness are highlighted.

  Title Maori nurses and smoking; Conflicted identities and motivations for smoking cessation Type Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication (up) Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal Available through NZNO library  
  Volume 4 Issue 1 Pages 33-38  
  Keywords Maori nurses; Smoking cessation; smoking; Qualitative research  
  Abstract This research aims to design and test the feasibility of an intervention promoting smoking cessation, and reducing smoking relapse, among Māori nurses who smoke. It is being conducted in two phases. Phase one, a national web-based survey, conducted in December 2012, explored the views of Māori nurses (smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers) regarding smoking. This paper reports on the analysis of qualitative responses from 410 nurses and nursing students identifying as Māori who completed an online survey. Five themes were identified: beliefs about smoking; ?for our tamariki?; personal stories of quitting; dissatisfaction with current approaches; and plans for future strategies. The findings confirm that nurses who smoke may experience feelings of conflict, and regard their behaviour as inconsistent with their role as nurses and health promoters. Nurses who smoke must be supported to become, and to stay, smokefree. Tailored Māori-specific cessation initiatives are needed.

  Title Encouraging young women to have regular smear tests Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication (up) Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 7 Pages 16-18  
  Keywords Nursing research; Sexual and reproductive health; Screening; Attitude to health; Cancer  
  Abstract The author presents the results of a study carried out as part of a research project with two nurse researchers from Maastricht University in the Netherlands. The aim of this study was to examine awareness among female students aged 18 to 25 about cervical cancer and to identify factors associated with their decision or intention to enter the cervical screening programme. Students aged 18-25 were recruited from four tertiary institutions in the Wellington region. A questionnaire was available online and distributed by student health centres and the researchers. Questions covered the following areas: intentions, attitude, knowledge, awareness, modelling, and support systems and efficacy. Data was analysed using descriptive statistics, multiple regression and independent t-tests. The findings are presented, and factors associated with intention and participation in cervical screening are discussed. The results indicate that the information concerning the national screening programme needs to be adjusted for the different age groups.

  Title Measuring on-the-job stress accurately Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication (up) Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 18 Issue 8 Pages 12-15  
  Keywords Stress; Evaluation research; Workplace; Occupational health and safety  
  Abstract The authors discuss the usefulness of a generic tool to measure job stress in New Zealand workplaces, and report on a study using one such generic tool. The study involved sending questionnaires to all staff (193) who had worked at a regional women's health service for a minimum of six months. The mailed package contained the Job Stress Survey (JSS), the General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12), demographic questions (including cultural safety), shift work questions, and a blank page for “qualitative comment”. Over 12,000 pieces of data were collected from the study but this article focuses only on the results of the JSS. The JSS can be used to determine a “job stress index” and can also be used to measure “job pressure” and “lack of organisational support”. For this study, job stress index scores were calculated and organised by occupational groupings. Midwives, nurses and doctors all cited inadequate or poor quality equipment, excessive paperwork, insufficient personal time, and frequent interruptions, as their top stressors. Three of these four stressors fall within the job pressure index. The results of the survey prompted organisational changes, including: extensive discussions; equipment being updated; management being made aware of the depth of concern felt by staff; the creation of a place for staff to have personal time; and coping intervention strategies were initiated. The authors suggest that no generic measure of job stress can fully evaluate stressors unique to a particular work setting. They support additional items being constructed and administered to assess stressors that are idiosyncratic to a particular occupational group.

  Title Reviewing the role of a mental health nurse practitioner Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication (up) Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 3 Pages 20-22  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Nurse practitioners; Evaluation research; Professional competence  
  Abstract The author describes his experience of five years as a nurse practitioner in mental health at Waikato District Health Board. A recent review of the role gave him the opportunity to reflect on the learning associated with assuming the nurse practitioner role. A key area of learning has been in negotiating the shifting responsibilities and changing relationships associated with his role as an nurse practitioner and also as a Responsible Clinician, a role traditionally held by psychiatrists. The Responsible Clinician role is a statutory one under the Mental Health Act (1992), generally performed by psychiatrists but open to other suitably qualified professionals. He reports the results of a review based on feedback from fellow professionals, clients and their families, along with quantitative data from basic statistics connected to the role, such as a time and motion study. The review asked fellow professionals to rate the performance of the nurse practitioner against the Nursing Council competencies. These results indicate the nurse practitioner role is of some value and that other professionals and clients seem satisfied with the role. There is some evidence it is delivering outcomes acceptable to clients and other professionals. The study has many limitations which are discussed, such as a poor response rate and short time frame. Further research is planned to evaluate this role.
