Abstract When professionals are employed in bureaucratic organisations they can expect to experience incongruence between their professional role conception and the bureaucratic demands of the organisation which lead to their experiencing role deprivation. Students of comprehensive Nursing programs during their preparation are socialised into a role consistent with their professional group when employed in Hospitals, are subjected to its bureaucratic administrative structure This study examines problems experienced by graduates of these programs, the way they cope with these problems and the extent of their role deprivation, 6 months after commencing employment in General hospitals. The result obtained by questionnaire and interview indicate the main problems are related to the provision of nursing Care, the organisation of Hospital and Communication. These problems prevent graduates from functioning as professional Nurses. Almost half considered they have been successful in resolving them. All graduates experienced a considerable magnitude of role deprivation. there are implications both for agencies and for those preparing Comprehensive Nurses

Title The process of health patterning in families with young children who have been repeatedly hospitalised Type
Year 1993 Publication Abbreviated Journal Author, University of Minnesota Library
Volume Issue (up) Pages
Keywords
Abstract An exploration of the nature of nursing knowledge in practice. The praxis methodology was inspired by the Newman's theory of health as expanding consciousness and evolved through the process of the research. The methodology was eventually presented as both the process of research and practice. Five families were visited in their homes five times to talk about what was going on for them. All were experiencing a time of great upheaval in family life. After three visits a summary text was constructed merging researcher statements and parent quotes and given to the families. Through the subsequent reflective discussion significant insights into family pattern were shown in statements of intended action to change how health matters were managed with greater facility in family living. The process was presented as five themes with descriptors representing a non-linear, discontinuous progression: A moment of partnership: parameters of entry and closure, a timing of upheaval in family life, and an in-forming capacity through the bringing together of family story-telling and researcher's theory. An evolving dialogue: a progressive flow of enfolding and unfolding, and its embeddedness in contexts of socio-economic status, gender and health care culture. Recognising pattern: incidental revelations and an all-encompassing insight as the potential for action. Expanding horizon: moving from being on a treadmill trapped in the present without vision to having a view to a future, the presence of past and future. Increasing connectedness: a sense of inclusion, inter-dependence and generally, transformation in family life. This was a framework for personal practice

Title The social context and the relevance of nursing curricula Type
Year 1981 Publication Abbreviated Journal Massey University Library
Volume Issue (up) Pages
Keywords
Abstract The relevance of Nursing Curricula and the degree of effectiveness of their outcomes for the 'consumer' ( clients, students, a given society) are seen as commiserate to the degree that a curriculum is developed with due regard for the 'social realities' of a society. "Social realities' are defined as the actual conditions, pressures, disabilities and abilities, limitations and resources that exist in the lifespan of people and form the environment within which Nursing practices. A Curriculum relevancy process ( CRP) has been developed for use as the main analytical tool of the study. CRP has been designated as an information seeking, problem solving and evaluative process. It consists of three phases with a major emphasis on the first phase, information seeking. Information has been gathered about contemporary social realities ( the year of 1979) and related Socio- health disorders. Information has been gathered and analysed from official ad voluntary sources and the findings related to curricular choices for Nursing education

Title The transition to institutional living: the experience of elderly people Type
Year 1985 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Area Health Board Library, Waikato Technical
Volume Issue (up) Pages
Keywords
Abstract The research identifies how elderly people perceive the transition from home to institutional living. The methodology for the discovery of grounded theory is used. A conceptualisation of the transition to institutional living as five sequential and inter-related phases is introduced. In the first phases of anticipation and reaction; subjects responses to challenges introduced by transition tend to predominate. The third and fourth phases are characterised by subjects working through these challenges to achieve mastery within the new situation. The final phase is manifest in each individuals' attributing personal meaning to the transition within the context of his or her total life. Mastery within the new situation is achieved through problem solving approaches to increasing dependency, acceptance of personal responsibility for adjustment and the perception of institutionalisation as but one incident in each person's life. This transition was found to differ from those described amongst younger populations. It is proposed that this difference occurs as a function of developmental stage , frailty and the environmental situation. The research a) emphasises the holistic nature and complexity of nursing with frail elderly clients, b) support the uses of concepts from developmental theory as a basis for nursing practise with elderly clients, and c) suggests ways in which nursing education and research may contribute to the development of nursing care for elderly clients

Title Theory and practice in the induction of five graduate nurses: a reflexive critique Type
Year 1985 Publication Abbreviated Journal Massey University Library
Volume Issue (up) Pages
Keywords
Abstract This study investigates the induction of comprehensive Nurses into a professional culture during their polytechnic education and the first year of Hospital practise. A critical theory framework combined with case study method is used to demonstrate the ways in which social forces constrain individual and professional action. It is argued that a more socially critical approach to the design of Nursing curricula might begin to transform some of the social structures which presently inhibit and constrain the professional choices and actions of student and graduate Nurse
