Public health nurses in New Zealand: The impact of invisibility | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2001 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 17 | Issue | 2 | Pages | 24-32 |
| Keywords | Public health; Nursing specialties | ||||
| Abstract | This research study examined the role of the public health nurse. Utilising community needs analysis method, 17 key informants and two focus groups were asked questions to determine perceptions of the public health nurse. Findings indicated that participants lacked knowledge regarding the role. Additional findings intimated that participants had difficulty in accessing public health nurse services and that 'knowing the system' was beneficial to receiving needed care. One of the major conclusions of this study was that many facets of care managed by public health nurses were invisible to the communities in which they work. Conclusions suggest that public health nurses need to enhance their service by improving accessibility to services and promoting their service in a more visible manner. | ||||

Quality in undergraduate nursing programmes: The role of Nursing Council | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2000 | Publication | Nursing Praxis in New Zealand | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 15 | Issue | 2 | Pages | 25-37 |
| Keywords | Nursing Council of New Zealand; Nursing; Education; Nursing; Quality assurance | ||||
| Abstract | This paper looks broadly at issues to do with quality monitoring in higher education and considers the role and focus of the Nursing Council of New Zealand in the approval of and ongoing monitoring of undergraduate nursing degree programmes. It is suggested that the approach taken by the Nursing Council is accountability led where minimal attention is given to teaching and learning and actual graduate outcomes. This may lead to a mistaken belief that Nursing Council's monitoring focuses on quality or that the outcomes of their monitoring might contribute to programme enhancement. A shift to emphasise learning processes, students and continual improvement in order to enhance programme quality is proposed. | ||||

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. | ||||
