Title Cultural safety, where does it fit? A literature review Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Vision: A Journal of Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 8 Issue 14 Pages 27-30
Keywords Cultural safety; Cross-cultural comparison; History of nursing
Abstract This literature review discusses the history of the inclusion of culture into nursing studies. There is a small sample of overseas literature for critique with a focus on the inclusion of cultural safety in New Zealand. The concept of cultural safety was first introduced into New Zealand in the late 1980s. It was adopted by the New Zealand Nursing Council for nurses and midwives in 1992 and became part of the basic curriculum for nursing and midwifery education.

Title Avoiding the pitfalls of long-term suprapubic catheterisation Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Vision: A Journal of Nursing Abbreviated Journal Available online at Eastern Institute of Technology
Volume 12 Issue 2 Pages 4-7
Keywords Nursing specialties; Long term care
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.

Title Treating depression during pregnancy: Cognitive behavioural therapy as a treatment option Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Vision: A Journal of Nursing Abbreviated Journal Available online from Eastern Institute of Technology
Volume 14 Issue 1 Pages 8-12
Keywords Pregnancy; Mental health; Stress
Abstract This article reviews the use of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) for pregnant women suffering from depressive symptoms. CBT provides a structured, short-term, collaborative process between clinician and client, using strategies and techniques to identify dysfunctional thinking and beliefs, challenge and change these beliefs, then implement new rational beliefs and behaviours. A process of engagement, assessment and conceptualisation is followed by treatment planning and implementation, and modification of dysfunctional thinking and behaviours. Use of CBT to treat depression in women during pregnancy is supported by the literature, especially where pharmacological intervention is declined or contraindicated. Pregnancy can bring stressors that combine with biological factors and core beliefs to contribute to depressive symptoms.
