| Abstract | This article describes the implementation of a nurse-led, dedicated support network and service for children with a diagnosis of retinoblastoma and their families. Nurses with an interest in retinoblastoma at an Auckland Ophthalmology Department realised that the service provided was not meeting the needs of patients and families, particularly since the numbers had increased over the past two years. This article outlines the development of a cost-effective approach that improved the service. | ||||

| Title | Counteracting stigma in sexual health care settings | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | Insight: The Journal of the American Society of Ophthalmic Registered Nurses | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 6 | Issue | 1 | Pages | |
| Keywords | Sexual and reproductive health; Nursing specialties; Attitude to health | ||||
| Abstract | Sexual health clinics and the people who visit them commonly face stigma. Sexually transmitted infections have historically been used to divide people into “clean” and “dirty”. A grounded theory study of the work of sixteen nurses in six sexual health services in New Zealand was undertaken to explore the management of sexual health care. The study uncovered the psychological impact of negative social attitudes towards the people who visit sexual health services and to the staff who work there. Sexual health nurses manage the results of stigma daily and reveal in their interactions with clients a process of destigmatisation. | ||||
