Title Positive pressure intravenous access ports on central venous devices in children: An evidence-based review Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library
Volume 1 Issue 1 Pages 12-18
Keywords Venous pressure; Central venous pressure; Central venous catheters; Catheter-related infections; Children
Abstract This research aimed to assess the evidence for benefits and risks of positive pressure mechanical valve (PPMV) intravenous access ports on central nervous system devices (CVADs) in children. PPMVs on CVADs have been promoted as preventing occlusion and the need for heparin flushing. A search for primary research to March 2010 was conducted using MEDLINE, EMBASE and CINAHL. There is sufficient evidence that some models of PPMV intravenous access ports on CVADs, when flushed with normal saline, are associated with increased bloodstream infections in children. Further research is required.

Title The evidence behind more than a decade of policy recommending influenza vaccination for young New Zealanders with long term medical conditions Type Journal Article
Year 2011 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal Held by NZNO Library
Volume 2 Issue 1 Pages 27-32
Keywords
Abstract This article reviews the recent evidence underpinning the New Zealand Ministry of Health's recommendation to offer free annual influenza vaccination to people aged six months to 64 years who have certain chronic medical conditions (eligible younger people). These results show there is relatively limited research providing evidence underpinning recommendations for influenza vaccination among people aged <65 years. These results show that there is a need to increase nurses' awareness of the rationale behind the New Zealand influenza vaccination policy, that this may in turn increase their willingness to recommend influenza vaccine to more eligible younger people.

Title Hardships and hurdles: The experiences of migrant nurses in New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 2010 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library
Volume 1 Issue 1 Pages 4-8
Keywords Recruitment and retention; Personnel recruitment; Foreign nurses; English as a second language; Emigration and immigration; Bullying
Abstract The New Zealand nursing workforce is increasingly made up of overseas trained nurses. There is extensive literature from elsewhere in the world on the impacts of international nurse recruitment and migration on individual nurses and on health services. The literature also portrays evidence of abuse and exploitation, yet few studies are available relating to the experiences of migrant nurses in New Zealand. This research conducted a survey of overseas-trained nurses, specifically focusing on those nurses for whom English is not their first language, to understand the experiences and factors affecting migrant registered nurses in New Zealand. Given the importance to the New Zealand workforce of overseas-trained nurses, this research highlighted that more warnings and advice regarding recruitment agencies and information about nursing in New Zealand and the Nursing Council requirements for registration should be made available to nurses prior to their migration. Nursing leaders should be particularly alert to any evidence of bullying or discrimination based on race or overseas origin.
