Title Promoting EAL nursing students' mastery of informal language Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 20 Issue 1 Pages 45-52
Keywords Communication; Asian peoples; Education; Nursing
Abstract This article describes the development, delivery and evaluation of a pilot programme designed to help nursing and midwifery students from Asian and non-English speaking backgrounds improve their conversational skills in practice settings. Many such students, although previously assessed as competent in English, find that communication with patients and their families, and other health professionals is difficult. The study was conducted in a large tertiary educational institution in a major metropolitan centre. Each week for a period of 11 weeks students participated in an interactive session. Content for these was based on areas highlighted by a needs assessment involving interviews with both students and lecturers, and was subject to ongoing modification in response to feedback from participants. Evaluation questionnaires completed at the conclusion of the series indicated that students perceived the impact as positive. Students who attended regularly and were actively involved in the practice activities described gains in communication skills. From this it was concluded that further development of the pilot scheme was warranted in order to benefit English as an additional language (EAL) students enrolled in nursing and midwifery courses

Title Smoking and nurses in New Zealand: ASH-KAN Aotearoa: Assessment of smoking history, knowledge and attitudes of nurses in New Zealand Type Report
Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Smoking; Nursing
Abstract Because nurses work in a wide range of settings they are well-placed to provide support for smokefree environments. The aim of this research was: to assess the knowledge of cessation, attitudes towards smoking, the provision of smoking cessation advice and treatment, and attitudes to and management of smokefree workplaces in a sample of nurses with practising certificates in New Zealand; and to describe the prevalence of smoking in nurses using the 2006 New Zealand census. One thousand questionnaires were posted to a random sample of 1000 nurses (500 community-based nurses, and 500 hospital-based) from the New Zealand Nursing Council register of nurses with current practising certificates. Statistics New Zealand provided results from the New Zealand Census of Population and Dwellings, 2006, for nurses by gender, practice area and cigarette smoking status. Responses were received from 371 (37%) of the nurses. They were enthusiastic about and committed to including smoking cessation in their practice, and to learning more about helping clients who smoke. Nine out of ten felt that it was part of their responsibility to advise clients to stop smoking. Nearly nine out of ten said they would be happy to spend an extra five minutes with each patient who smoked if they could effectively intervene. Over half had not received training for effective evidence-based smoking cessation interventions but three quarters were interested in learning more about how to help people stop smoking. The respondents' knowledge of the health effects of smoking was high, but there were gaps in knowledge of effective smoking treatments and a wide misunderstanding that nicotine causes cancer and heart disease. These gaps may limit nurses' ability to intervene effectively. Nurses supported their smokefree work policies although a fifth did not report support with enforcing these. Results from the 2006 census showed that smoking prevalence among nurses has declined from 18% in 1996 to 14% in 2006. Smoking rates in mental health nurses (29%) remain higher than the New Zealand general population (21%, census data).

Title The gendered role of pastoral care within tertiary education institutions: An autoethnographic reflection during COVID-19 Type Journal Article
Year 2021 Publication Nursing Praxis in Aotearoa New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 37 Issue 3 Pages 37-40
Keywords Pastoral care; Tertiary staff; COVID-19; Academic women
Abstract Highlights the exacerbated gendered inequities for academic women caused by the pandemic, including gender pay gap, and women being channelled into administrative, teaching, and pastoral care roles not recognised with career advancement and remuneration compared to research routes facilitated for male colleagues. Uses a collaborative auto-ethnographic approach to reflect on the authors' experiences of emotional labour in supporting nursing students throughout the Covid-19 pandemic and the invisibility of the work within academia. Notes that the patriarchal construction of academia remains present and highly visible to the detriment of many female career trajectories.

Title Reconstructing nurse learning using computer mediated communication (CMC) technologies: An exploration of ideas Type
Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Computers; Technology; Nursing; Education
Abstract Computerised technology has become a way of life. As nurse graduates enter a computer driven health care system we have a responsibility as nurse educators to ensure that they are computer familiar as borne out by the recent discussion papers released by the Nursing Council of New Zealand (2000a), which define the requirements for the practitioner of the future. Concurrently there is a call from the discipline of nursing for practitioners who have a form of knowledge that will bring about change within the socio-political context of the discipline as an outcome of critically reflective knowledge skills. Jurgen Habermas' (1971) treatise on knowledge and human interests, which offers a multi-paradigmatic approach to three forms of knowledge culminating in the emancipatory form provides a conceptual framework for many under-graduate pre-registration nursing curricular in Aotearoa-New Zealand. This thesis explores the author's ideas about contemporary undergraduate pre-registration nursing preparation in Aotearoa-New Zealand, associated knowledge outcomes, and the consequent links with contemporary computer-mediated communication (CMC) technologies. It positions a framework for integrating CMC technologies and the action of critically reflective practice as a learning journey. The framework is hypothetical and pragmatic. It emerges from the exploration of the thesis and is posited as a way toward integrating CMC technologies within extant undergraduate pre-registration nursing curricular in Aotearoa-New Zealand. The learning journey is comprised of three dimensions, learning-for-practice, learning-from-practice and learning-with-practice and draws on four different cyber constructs: being, knowing, relating and dialoguing. Knowing, relating and dialoguing are ontological positions taken in relation to being. The learning journey sustains some derivation from Habermasian (1971) based conceptual framework. There is a need for nurse educators to consider this in relation to contemporary CMC technologies. The author hope that this framework will serve those with an interest in nurse education and who are interested in a future using CMC technologies within the realities of nursing practice and education.

Title A qualitative exploration of emotional competence and its relevance to nursing relationships Type
Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal Massey Research Online
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Nurse-patient relations; Nursing; Education; Students; Professional competence
Abstract This qualitative research project explored the experiences of nurse educators who sought to assess aspects, which could be related to facilitation of emotional competence, in nursing students. Focus groups were conducted in three different educational institutions, offering a Bachelor of nursing degree. Each of the participants had a teaching and assessment role within the school of nursing. The contributions of the nurse educators and their interactions were audio taped, transcribed and then later, analysed using thematic and focus group analysis practices. From the analysis of the experiences of the nurse educators, four predominant themes arose which capture the areas of importance to the participants. Student nurses can develop emotional competence by critically reflecting during classroom and clinical experiences. Continuous consideration must be made within each practicing area of nursing, of the environmental and relational challenges which inhibit or facilitate nurse's ability to practice with emotional competence. Educators and practicing nurses, who work alongside students, must uphold the expectation that emotional competence is a requisite ability and provide opportunities to foster emotional growth and skills to resolve conflict within the culture of nursing. A common view shared by the educators was that the profession of nursing needs to have a clear understanding of what constitutes emotional competence. Strategies to realistically incorporate emotional competence into the educational curriculum and competency based assessment opportunities within nursing education are required. Suggestions are presented from which undergraduate nursing education can facilitate development of emotional competence with those students working toward becoming a registered nurse. Emotional competence is suggested as an essential learning outcome in the movement toward transformative nursing education and a collaborative nursing profession.

Title Emotional competence and nursing education : A New Zealand study Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 24 Issue 1 (Mar) Pages 36-47
Keywords Teaching methods; Communication; Nursing; Education; Nursing models
Abstract Explores the challenges encountered by nurse educators who seek to assess aspects related to emotional competence in nursing students. This emotional competence includes nurses managing their own emotional life along with the skill to relate effectively to the multiple colleagues and agencies that nurses work alongside. The research was designed to explore the views of nurse educators about the challenges they encounter when seeking to assess a student's development of emotional competence during the three year bachelor of nursing degree. Focus groups were used to obtain from educators evidence of feeling and opinion as to how theory and practice environments influence student nurses' development of emotional competence. The process of thematic analysis was utilised and three key themes arose as areas of importance to the participants. These were personal and social competence collectively comprises emotional competence in nursing; emotional competence is a key component of fitness to practise; and transforming caring into practice. The findings of the study indicate a need for definition of what emotional competence is in nursing. It is argued that educators and practicing nurses, who work alongside students, must uphold the expectation that emotional competence is a requisite ability and should themselves be able to role model emotionally competent communication.

Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Professional development; Alcoholism; Nursing specialties; Nursing; Nurse managers; Drug abuse; Substance abuse
Abstract This dissertation had two main aims. The first was to explore the literature from which nurse leaders of alcohol and other drug services might develop their leadership skills so as to enhance nursing practice within an interdisciplinary alcohol and other drug team. The second was to further utilise these skills to develop a 'toolkit' which would assist in the successful management of the team but would also aid with workforce development. In addition, this dissertation was linked to the Nursing Council of New Zealand Competencies for the Registered Nurse Scope of Practice (2005) and Competencies for Advanced Nursing Practice (2001). This dissertation provides direction for the nurse leader wishing to develop their toolkit. Implications for the advancement of nursing are suggested.
