Abstract |
An analysis of policy making structure and process within the department of Health concerned with the issue of smoking and health. This paper deals with an important area of public policy both in terms of process and substance. It attempts to identify how policy is made in New Zealand. How policy is determined by the elected representative of the people and how far policy is made by the permanent state employees. The way political power is brought to bear in policy implementation is examined, as is the question: What level of policy research and analysis on smoking and health is affected in New Zealand? Attention is directed towards complex ideas of participation, representation and minority rights as well as to democratic theory in relation to cause and influence of conflict, public opinion formation, interest group influence and public policy making |

Abstract |
The purpose of this paper was to observe the effectiveness of continuous intravenous narcotic infusions as a means of pain relief in the first 48 hours post operatively. 12 patients who had experienced major thoracic or abdominal surgery participated in the study. Pain was assessed at rest and on activity on visual analogues at 5 specific times daily for up to 48 hours post operatively. Data was also collected from a structured interview within the first 48 hours and a retrospective interview when the infusion was discontinued. Results indicated- 1. Very little correlation of changes in pain relief dose to the assessment of pain intensity. 2. Documentation and assessment was not always thoroughly completed. 3. Inadequate treatment of pain post operatively was evident especially on activity. It should be emphasised that pain management could be improved through a focus in interdisciplinary consultation, continuing in service education on pain management and accountability in procedure. |

Abstract |
A study to examine the effects of pre- information ( what a Nurse learns about a patient before they meet) on clinical inference and Nursing actions, in a simulated Nurse- Patient situation. It was hypothesized that the nature of the pre-information will influence the way the patient is perceived and the resulting Nursing actions. The research was conducted in an obstetrical setting. There were 55 subjects within three groups. Two groups comprised student midwives and the third group was of second year comprehensive Nursing students near completion of clinical experience in maternal and child health nursing. A 5 minute videotape sequence of a role played post natal patient was made for use in the research. All subjects were given the same initial pre-information, viewed the videotape and gave written description of what they saw on the videotape and their response ( as the Nurse in the situation). This data provided a base line for each subject. Subject were then given additional pre-information concerning the patient's physical condition, her baby's condition or formed part of the control group ( receiving no additional information) The procedure was repeated. These responses were then compared with the base line for each subject. Responses were coded by means of content analysis. Group data was analysed using multivariate one way analysis of variance graphical display. The results indicated support of the hypothesis that the nature of the pre-information does influence the way in which a Nurse perceives a patient and resulting Nursing actions. Implications of these findings for Nurses are discussed |

Abstract |
All Nurse/Doctor Television programs were observed and questionnaires completed over a period of two weeks, during August 1983, to study the image of Nurses as portrayed on Television, and to compare the findings with those of previous American studies in particular the studies done by Kalisch, B.J. and Kalisch, P.A. ( 1982). A total of 20 programs were viewed, divided into categories and analysed. The main categories were general and personal data, characteristics portrayed by nurses and activities performed as part of the professional role. Results indicated that overall the portrayed image of Nurses is a negative one which continues to enforce the traditional broad stereotypes held of Nurses. Namely the 'angel of mercy', sex object, Doctor's handmaiden or battle axe dragon. This study supports the previous American studies and indicates that the image has not changed a great deal since 1979 |

Abstract |
Acute illness as lived experience gives the person involved an understanding and knowledge of how they perceive a crisis in their lives. It also provides meaning and orientation to their world. Any perception a person has to an acute illness is a lived experience for that person. It is very personal and will live with that person forever |
