| Abstract |
The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between worries and psychological well-being, and self-rated health in older men. A cross-sectional survey method was used to investigate the research aim. A group of men aged 65 years and over (n = 217), who lived in a small New Zealand city, participated in this study. Results from this research revealed that worries about physical abilities and health were significantly related to a decrease in psychological well-being and self-rated health. Gerontological nurses are challenged to be cognisant of older men's concerns about their health and physical ability. |

| Abstract |
Studies show that majority of complications experienced by patients with long term suprapubic catheters are associated with urinary tract infection and encrustation of catheters. This article will revise the pathophysiology of infection and encrustation and discuss management of suprapubic catheters based on current best practice. It is stressed that suprapubic catheters should only be considered once less invasive methods of maintaining bladder function have been exhausted as it is preferable for patients to manage incontinence with bladder training, pelvic floor exercises and continence products than to have a permanent indwelling catheter inserted. |

| Abstract |
Student nurses rely on their teachers, both academic and clinical, to assist them to develop their capacity to practice safely. Yet, in relation to cultural safety, relatively little has been written to assist the integration of theoretical knowledge to the world of practice. This article presents the findings of a small project undertaken by lecturers whose experiences supporting students' learning during clinical placements in Auckland stimulated interest in the students' attempts to use their classroom learning to begin their journey towards culturally safe nursing practice. A qualitative descriptive approach was used to explore the experience of nursing clients from cultures other than one's own and to describe culturally safe practice from the perspective of third year students. |
