| Title | What are the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards nursing, work and career?: A descriptive exploratory study | Type | |||
| Year | 2012 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Available from the NZNO Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 290 pp | ||
| Keywords | Generation Y; Young nurses; Registered Nurses; Workforce planning; Attitudes to nursing; Surveys; Nursing shortages | ||||
| Abstract | The author has taken a broad approach to this research to explore the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards the nursing profession, the work itself and their career plans. This study arose out of the author?s interest in health care workforce planning for nursing and in particular the retention of young nurses given the current national and global shortage of nurses. Because of the broad and descriptive nature of the research, a wide variety of topics are included in the literature reviewed. Chapter one provides background to the study and an overview of generational cohorts. Chapter two explores selected literature relevant to the concept of work and the characteristics of the Generation Y workforce. Other topics included in this chapter include Herzberg?s work motivation hygiene/maintenance theory and a selection of literature about key workforce recruitment and retention issues. A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Health Sciences |

| Title | Health in the workplace: An exploration of healthy options for an aged care setting | Type | |||
| Year | 2004 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Victoria University of Wellington Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Geriatric nursing; Health behaviour; Workplace | ||||
| Abstract | People working in aged care settings in New Zealand spend approximately 30% of their lives in their workplace. There is a challenge for workplaces to support people to maintain and improve their health status. This project investigated the question: How can workplaces support staff to maintain health in an aged care environment? The project concerned two considerations: primarily what people can do for themselves and how the organisation can assist their interest and maintain their investment in health based activities and secondly what workplaces can do to make the organisations more healthy. The philosophy and the realities of the workplace were reviewed and the project addressed the strategies that could be adopted by the workplace. The study identifies a series of practical activities and outcomes that aged care facilities can undertake for nurses/caregivers or other members of staff working in the workplace. The findings lead to recommendations about healthy outcomes and managing health and creating a positive climate for health within the workplace. | ||||

| Title | Exploring the value of dignity in the work-life of nurses | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2007 | Publication | Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 23 | Issue | 2 | Pages | 225-236 |
| Keywords | Work; Nursing philosophy; Job satisfaction; Ethics | ||||
| Abstract | In this paper the authors draw attention to the value and understandings of nurse dignity in the work-life of nurses. A review of nursing literature and a theoretical lens on worker dignity derived from recent work by Hodson (2001) was used to explore these questions. In the context of current and international workforce issues associated with recruitment and retention, analysis of the construct of worker dignity within the profession takes on a strong imperative. Findings of this inquiry reveal that while there is a degree of coherence between the nursing research and elements of Hodson's (2001) research on worker dignity, the dignity of nurses, as a specific construct and as an intrinsic human and worker right has received little explicit attention. Reasons for this may lie partly in approaches that privilege patient dignity over nurse dignity and which rely on the altruism and self-sacrifice of nurses to sustain patient care in environments dominated by cost-control agendas. The value of dignity in the work-life of nurses has been under-explored and there is a critical need for further theoretical work and research. This agenda goes beyond acceptance of dignity in the workplace as a human right towards the recognition that worker dignity may be a critical factor in sustaining development of healthy workplaces and healthy workforces. Directing explicit attention to nurse dignity may benefit the attainment of both nurse and organisational goals. Hodson's (2001) framework offers a new perspective on dignity in the workplace. | ||||

| Title | Implementing the Rating Scale for Aggressive Behaviours in the elderly: Can it make a difference to nursing management of aggressive behaviours in elderly patients with dementia? | Type | |||
| Year | 2006 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | ResearchArchive@Victoria | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Geriatric nursing; Dementia; Workplace violence; Older people | ||||
| Abstract | The Rating Scale for Aggressive Behaviours in the Elderly (RAGE) is a twenty-one item rating scale, designed specifically to measure aggressive behaviours in the elderly in the psychogeriatric inpatient setting. The purpose of the scale is to qualify the aggressive behaviour, note any changes in the behaviour, and record intervention and/or treatments. This study combines both qualitative and quantitative methods with exploratory and descriptive designs to explore nurses' experiences of using a consistent tool for monitoring, measuring and managing aggressive behaviours. Data gathered over a three month period of implementing RAGE aimed to provide a 'snapshot' of the prevalence, extent and type of aggressive behaviours within the inpatient setting, providing evidence to nurses in developing strategies for the management of aggression. Focus group interviews were used to enable nurses to discuss their experiences of utilising a clinically validated tool in their practice and how this made a difference to their practice. Findings from this research indicate that nurses within the setting found that RAGE is a consistent tool with which nurses can record, measure and monitor aggressive behaviours. Responses from nurses' experiences of utilising RAGE in their practice were varied, with some being unable to articulate how RAGE had made a difference to their practice. Despite this there was an overwhelming positive response for the continued use of RAGE within the setting as a clinically validated tool by which to measure, record and manage aggressive behaviours. | ||||

| Title | Risk assessment of violence to others: Time for action | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2002 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 18 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 36-43 |
| Keywords | Mental health; Workplace violence; Risk management; Nursing; Nurse-patient relations; Psychiatric nursing | ||||
| Abstract | The author performs a literature search on the topics of risk assessment, dangerousness, aggression, and violence in order to determine an evidence-based approach to risk assessment of patient violence towards others. This is set in the context of possible expansion in the scope of practice of mental health nurses, and the prevalence of nurses being assaulted by patients. In the absence of reliable and valid nursing risk assessment measures, the approach suggested here focuses on the use of observation skills to detect behaviour antecedent to physical assault, and the ability to adapt evidence to specific clinical settings. | ||||

| Title | A survey of threats and violent behaviour by patients against registered nurses in their first year of practice | Type | Miscellaneous | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | International Journal of Mental Health Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 12 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 56-63 |
| Keywords | New graduate nurses; Workplace violence; Occupational health and safety; Training; Mental health; Psychiatric nursing | ||||
| Abstract | For this study, an anonymous survey was sent to registered nurses in their first year of practice. From the 1169 survey instruments that were distributed, 551 were returned completed (a response rate of 47%). The most common inappropriate behaviour by patients involved verbal threats, verbal sexual harassment, and physical intimidation. There were 22 incidents of assault requiring medical intervention and 21 incidents of participants being stalked by patients. Male graduates and younger nurses were especially vulnerable. Mental health was the service area most at risk. A most distressing incident was described by 123 (22%) of respondents. The level of distress caused by the incident was rated by 68 of the 123 respondents (55%) as moderate or severe. Only half of those who described a most distressing event indicated they had some undergraduate training in protecting against assault or in managing potentially violent incidents. After registration, 45 (37%) indicated they had received such training. The findings of this study indicate priorities for effective prevention programmes. | ||||

| Title | Horizontal violence: Experiences of registered nurses in their first year of practice | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | Journal of Advanced Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 42 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 90-96 |
| Keywords | New graduate nurses; Workplace violence; Occupational health and safety | ||||
| Abstract | The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence of horizontal violence, or bullying, experienced by nurses in their first year of practice; to describe the characteristics of the most distressing incidents experienced; to determine the consequences, and measure the psychological impact, of such events; and to determine the adequacy of training received to manage horizontal violence. An anonymous survey was mailed to 1169 nurses in New Zealand who had registered in the year prior to November 2000 with a response rate of 47%. Many new graduates experienced horizontal violence across all clinical settings. Absenteeism from work, the high number of respondents who considered leaving nursing, and scores on the Impact of Event Scale all indicated the serious impact of interpersonal conflict. Nearly half of the events described were not reported, only 12% of those who described a distressing incident received formal debriefing, and the majority of respondents had no training to manage the behaviour. | ||||

| Volume | Issue | Pages | 234 p. | ||
| Keywords | Workplace learning; Post-registration education; Postgraduate education; Professional development; Learning culture; Critical reflection; Mentoring | ||||
| Abstract | Explores the rationale underpinning the development of education programmes within urban district hospitals throughout the country, and ascertains how these workplaces develop education programmes, given that the majority of nurses in New Zealand have identified that they prefer to participate in workplace-based professional development. Cites a clear requirement to foster learning during a nurse's development post-registration, while considering how prepared nurse educators were to fulfil their roles as lifelong learning facilitators and mentors. Utilises the perspective of nurse educators employed in District Health Boards (DHBs) geographically isolated from universities providing post-registration learning. | ||||

| Title | New Zealand's Christchurch Hospital at night: An audit of medical activity from 2230 to 0800 hours | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2006 | Publication | New Zealand Medical Journal | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 119 | Issue | 1231 | Pages | |
| Keywords | Hospitals; Teamwork; Administration; Shiftwork; Organisational culture | ||||
| Abstract | The authors conduct an audit of medical activity at Christchurch Hospital, a 650 bed tertiary centre, between 2230 and 0800 hours. They measured the volumes of tasks requiring completion overnight and identified the competencies required for this as well as the level of teamwork that existed. They found several organisational areas of concern, that indicate new approaches are required to staff the “hospital at night,” and an Out of Hours Multidisciplinary Team is recommended. Specific issues included the lack of teamwork from the Resident Medical Officers (RMOs), with some overextended while others were inactive. House officer tasks were largely generic rather than specialty specific; there was no formal handover from the afternoon or day shifts and the level of hospital medical staffing did not reflect the activity levels over the time period studied. The researchers also recommend an urgent review of the beep policy. A third of the admissions were to General Medicine, and basic medical activities (including admitting, reviewing, and prescribing drugs and fluids) for patients admitted under all specialties represented the majority of the night workload. Medical registrars had reduced some of the traditional multiple clerking by admitting patients themselves. | ||||

| Title | Seclusion management in an acute in-patient unit | Type | |||
| Year | 2005 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | ResearchArchive@Victoria | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Psychiatric Nursing; Patient rights; Hospitals; Workplace violence | ||||
| Abstract | This study was developed to explore the use of seclusion in an acute in-patient unit for people with mental illnesses. Investigation into this issue was considered important due to an identified large increase in seclusion use over the previous two years. The study used a qualitative research methodology with a descriptive and interpretive approach. Data collection included a retrospective file audit of patients who had been secluded over the past seven years, and one-to-one staff interviews. It also includes the author's personal reflections of seclusion events. The principle reason for using seclusion was violence and aggression in the context of mental illness. It was also used for people who were at risk of, or who had previously absconded from the unit. A recovery approach and the use of the strengths model was fundamental to nurses' way of working with patients in the unit. Nurses believed that the strengths process should be adapted to the person's level of acuity and to their ability to engage in this approach in a tangible way. Seclusion continues to be a clinical management option in the unit that is the subject of this study. However, in many circumstances there are other options that could be explored so that the utmost consideration is given to the dignity, privacy and safety of that person. | ||||
