Title A survey of staff nurses and enrolled nurses opinions of the current rostering system and sequential rostering at Waikato hospital 1984 Type Miscellaneous
Year Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue (up) Pages
Keywords
Abstract A descriptive survey was utilised to obtain the opinions of Waikato hospital nurses, about the current rostering system, and sequential roistering. Two hundred questionnaires were sent out to staff nurses and enrolled nurses, selected by systematic sample from a random base. A total of 186 (95%) questionnaires were returned for analysis.Results from this research showed a marked difference of opinion between full-time and part-time staff. The current roistering system was favoured by part-time staff, whereas the full-time staff felt they were disadvantaged by this system, and showed a positive interest in trying a sequential roster.Nurses opinions of 6-7 day stretches and short changes and the effects on themselves, support the research done in an American study on circadian rhythms and indicates that the current system is not conducive to optional physical, psychological and emotional well-being. From the results of this study, it would seem appropriate for nurse administrators to recognise and respect nurses' professional standards and eliminate obstacles which prevent the achievement of desired standards of care, and accountability

Title Assessment of the perceived value of registered nurses in the acute rehabilitation of paraplegia Type Miscellaneous
Year Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue (up) Pages
Keywords
Abstract Accepting the impact that paraplegic disability has on lifestyle, I felt that further investigation was warranted into the relationship of registered Nurses ( my profession) to acute paraplegic rehabilitation. The following descriptive study was based on the hypothesis that registered nurses are perceived as important in the acute rehabilitation of paraplegics. By means of a questionnaire 15 registered nurses currently employed at a spinal unit were surveyed in Auckland, and 15 community based paraplegics who were at least two years from injury were surveyed over a geographical area from Whangarei to New Plymouth. The questionnaire was designed to elicit information in two main areas. The importance of Registered Nurses in acute paraplegic rehabilitation, who else could perform their function- Respondents were equally likely to report positively as negatively. Some questions were designed to be answered objectively and others were based on individual perception. Face validity of the tool was determined by presenting it to six advanced diploma colleagues who had worked in the rehabilitation field for critique and later by a pilot study of three registered nurses and three paraplegics. There are two themes that consistently recurred: amongst paraplegics, the more medical complications experienced, the higher value placed on spinal unit nursing care. Most people recommended the spinal unit, either for work in the case of registered nurses or for rehabilitation in the case of paraplegics. A systems model was used as the theoretical framework for the study. The nursing profession was depicted as the main system, each having definite and interdependent environments. By using this approach I emphasised that the importance of any part of the system is largely dependant on the view of that importance, by other parts. The analysis and interpretation of the data supported the hypothesis. This study concluded that registered nurses do play a significant role in acute paraplegic rehabilitation in the practise setting
