  Title Leadership development: Supporting nursing in a changing primary health care environment Type Journal Article
  Year 2002 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 18 Issue 2 Pages 24-32  
  Keywords Leadership; Professional development; Primary health care; Nursing  
  Abstract The author argues that the involvement of nurses in the decision-making of health organisations is essential to maximise the contribution of nurses and promote positive outcomes for patients. She suggests that development of leadership skills will make nurses aware of power structures in the health system and allow them to become interdependent health professionals in primary health organisations (PHO). The particular competencies discussed are those proposed by Van Maurik (1997), namely ability to understand and manage organisational politics, work facilitatively with people and circumstances, and build a feeling of purpose.

  Title Changing blood transfusion practice in elective joint arthroplasty: A nursing initiative Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 22 Issue 3 Pages 15-21  
  Keywords Surgery; Hospitals; Economics  
  Abstract This study analysed the use of re-infusion drains on 99 consecutive patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty surgery at a large hospital. The primary aim was to ascertain the cost effectiveness of the drains. Secondary aims were to assess safety of the drains, whether or not they reduced the need for allogeneic blood transfusion and whether they decreased the length of stay in hospital. As a control group the records of 99 patients treated without re-infusion were analysed retrospectively. The direct cost of consumables increased for the evaluation period. There was a smaller proportion of allogeneic blood transfusion (27% vs 38%) and a smaller mean number of units transfused (0.92 vs 0.54) in the re-infusion group compared to the control group. Patients benefited directly in that the mean length of stay was also significantly shorter in the re-infusion group. The researchers anticipate more direct cost saving with experience and best practice and conclude that the use of re-infusion drains is a cost effective blood saving method in total knee joint arthroplasty.
