  Title Patients' experiences of interpersonal relationships during first time acute hospitalisation Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 24 Issue 2 (Jul) Pages p16-26.  
  Keywords Acute hospitalisation; Vulnerability; Support; Nurse-patient relationships  
  Abstract Examines the role of interpersonal relationships on patients' experiences during first time acute hospitalisation. Involving 12 first time acute medical and surgical admission patients, it was developed from a wider study exploring patients' overall experiences. Using a qualitative methodology with data collected by means of personal stories and semi-structured interviews findings suggest that patient vulnerability is reduced through supportive interpersonal relationships and that it is nurses who play a key role in developing and maintaining these relationships with patients.

  Title Experiences of Maori families accessing health care for their unwell children: A pilot study Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 22 Issue 1 Pages 23-32  
  Keywords Maori; Qualiltative research; Access; Children; Parents and caregivers  
  Abstract The aim of this study was to explore with a small number of Maori families their experiences of accessing health care when their children were unwell with a respiratory condition. A qualitative research methodology was used in the study. Participating families were among those experiencing an admission to a children's ward between July and December 2003. Four families were interviewed. They discussed in depth their experience of accessing health care for their unwell children. Data were analysed using thematic analysis, and three common themes were evident: family resources, choice of health service provider and parents' feelings of vulnerability. The findings highlight that while socio-economic status plays a large part in determining the ease with which families can access the needed health care, there are other barriers within the health system which also pose difficulties for Maori.

  Title Towards partnerships in praxis Type
  Year 1997 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library, Waiarik  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This action research project explored the factors that helped or hindered student nurse clinical learning from the perspective of nurse educators, practitioners and students. Participant analysis of their own discussions identified both common and disparate views regarding the student's learning experience. Researcher analysis identified five practical and three organizational issues that influenced the development of more effective partnerships between these three stakeholder groups that would facilitate student clinical learning. The practical issues were how to deal with the 'problem' people in the learning process, how to clarify and develop the various roles in the learning context, how to generate more effective communication, how to respond more effectively to the impact of the changing environment, and how to maximize 'moments of learning'. The organizational issues were identified as the schisms between the disparate personal and organizational cultures that direct the way educators, practitioners and students, perceive, think, feel and act

  Title Emerging discourses shaping high-fidelity simulation as an education platform in Aotearoa New Zealand pre-registration nursing education: A Foucauldian discourse analysis Type Book Whole
  Year 2022 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 311 p.  
  Keywords High-fidelity simulation (HFS); Nursing education; Discourse analysis; Michel Foucault  
  Abstract Asserts that nursing needs to think critically about High-fidelity simulation (HFS) use, and its dominance, in the educational preparation of nurses. Draws on the tenets of postmodernism and Foucauldian discourse analysis methodology to question the discourses and discursive practices that influence the use of HFS as an approach to intentional and unintentional teaching and learning in pre-registration nursing education in NZ. Explores how this shapes nursing students' subjectivity and, ultimately, nursing practice.

  Title “It could have just as easily been me”: Nurses working in mental health services who have experienced mental illness Type
  Year 2001 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Nursing; Mental health; Occupational health and safety  
  Abstract This research explores the issues and experiences of mental health nurses who experience or have experienced mental illness. This project was prompted by the author's concern for colleagues and friends in this situation. The research topic was approached using a mix of critical ethnography and action research principles. Five mental health nurses who all work for the same district health board were interviewed about their experiences of being mental health professionals with mental illness and the issues that arose from this. The themes that emerged from this research are: the reactions of nurse colleagues, the effects on participants' own mental health treatment, employer responses, professional experiences and issues and strategies for coping. Discussion and recommendations focus on the need for improvements to the responses that mental health nurses with experience of mental illness encounter in their workplace. Recommendations from this research encompass suggestions for both individual and organisational education, action and change.

  Title Advancing nursing knowledge: The experience of a nurse working with dying people in a highly remote rural area Type
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Terminal care; Rural nursing; Rural health services  
  Abstract By describing and gaining insight into one rural nurse's experience working with dying people in a highly, remote rural area, this project seeks to advance nursing practice. Key findings indicate that, through community partnership and teamwork, nurses can act to assist rural people by: increasing public awareness of health resources; exposing barriers to access; and identifying different health service needs. The author makes a case that some rural nurses may feel insufficiently prepared for rural nursing. To understand death and dying, key ideas from Kuebler-Ross's (1969) framework for dying are examined: denial, fear of dying, spirituality, hope, depression and how to die well. Nurses require a blend of end-of-life and rural nursing postgraduate education and skills, to manage well. Key findings imply that dying people can be helped by: improving function and independence to promote autonomy; encouraging faith, hope, and love within the person's personal concept of spirituality; listening to dying people, to oneself, to one's own reactions, and knowing oneself. Parse's theory (1981) indicates nurses can help rural dying people by the following key factors: encouraging the person to live life to the full while dying; accepting humans cannot be separated from their perspectives, circumstances or environments; focusing on quality of life from the person's perspective: encouraging the person to live life fully while dying; and offering new possibilities. The author goes on to say that Parse's human-universe-health process aids nurses to live their beliefs indicating Parse's theory could guide and advance nursing practice.
