  Title Why nurses in New Zealand stay working in rural areas Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication New Zealand Family Physician Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 33 Issue 3 Pages 173-175  
  Keywords Rural nursing; Recruitment and retention; Job satisfaction; Teamwork; Primary health care  
  Abstract The author investigates why nurses in New Zealand stay working in rural areas when their Australian counterparts and medical colleagues are leaving rural areas at alarming rates. She looks at international recruitment and retention issues, and particularly compares rural nursing in Australia with New Zealand. Local research shows that over 50% of rural nursing is in the practice environment. Practice nurses report high job satisfaction, specifically around working with diverse populations, autonomy, and working with GPs, the local community, and local iwi. The only perceived barrier identified in the New Zealand literature to job satisfaction and collaborative team behaviour has been the funding of nursing services in rural areas. This contrasts with many barriers to rural nursing in Australia, and the author suggests New Zealand policy makers may learn from Australia's retention issues.

  Title An exploration of workplace violence in the emergency department: Are emergency nurses safe? Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Workplace violence; Emergency nursing; Guidelines  
  Abstract This thesis arises from the author's experience of several years of working in the emergency department and being exposed to workplace violence from patients and their families. Emergency nurses in New Zealand experience workplace violence every day. Registered nurses and the institutions in which they work manage workplace violence to varying degrees and in an ad hoc manner. The author notes that New Zealand has no national guidelines, or consensus on the management of workplace violence in the health sector. This research explores emergency nurses' encounters during their work when they have experienced workplace violence. The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the experience and the consequences when nurses are confronted with episodes of violence while working in the emergency department. The essence of this research is gaining an understanding of how registered nurses have managed workplace violence and the impact of that violence on themselves, their colleagues, and the patients in the emergency department. Recommendations are made regarding nationally consistent guidelines, education on the management of workplace violence, improved security, and emergency department design. The discussion concludes with suggestions for further research on workplace violence in the health sector

  Title Role identification: An impediment to effective core primary health care teamwork Type
  Year 2001 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Multidisciplinary care teams; Teamwork; Primary health care  
  Abstract This study, which is methodologically grounded in qualitative research and philosophically informed by critical social science, explores aspects of the socio-political context in which practice nurses and general practitioners (core primary health care team) work within a team environment. It is indicated in the literature that there are benefits for improved health care through the development of collaborative teamwork. However, there have been many barriers identified which prevent collaborative teamwork. Amongst the many barriers, is the lack of role clarity and attitudinal differences. This thesis explored and highlighted whether the lack of role clarity and attitudinal differences do indeed impede the team's success, and are barriers to teamwork. The views and opinions of practice nurses and general practitioners and the understanding of their own and each other's current roles within the general practice setting were explored. The participants had the opportunity to discuss together, in focus group meetings, their thoughts on the topic. This raised their awareness of their taken for granted ideas on role and teamwork. Focus groups offered the participants the added opportunity to question each other which allowed for a deeper and more fulfilling understanding of role. New understandings that emerged could lead to alternative models of health care and influence the future delivery and planning of general practice. The thesis concludes by offering a potentially suitable model/framework which has been developed to further the understanding of teamwork in the future.

  Title Graduates and initial employment Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Nurse Education Today Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 28 Issue 5 Pages 610-619  
  Keywords New graduate nurses; Curriculum; Work  
  Abstract This research project was undertaken to inform nurse educators in the Department of Nursing and Health Studies of Manukau Institute of Technology of the employment opportunities for new graduate nurses emerging from the three year degree and registration programme. Graduates from the programme for the previous three years were surveyed for their experiences in gaining employment. 89.8% of graduates were successful in gaining employment in the first three months post registration. The number of graduates employed within a district health board declined across the three years but there were no significant differences between cohorts. Overall, 73% of graduates were employed into new graduate positions. The majority of graduates felt that their nursing education prepared them well for their role as a registered nurse. The findings of the qualitative data identified a strong need for science throughout the degree; longer clinical blocks; increased hands on experience; more practice with skills and less theory in relation to practical experience.
