| 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 |

| Abstract |
This study identifies, describes and generates a theoretical explanation of what it means to be a Nurse educator in New Zealand in the 1990's. It explores individual experiences within the broader social context. Sixteen participants from three Schools of Nursing in New Zealand were interviewed over a four month period. Constant comparative analysis of data eventuated in the identification of four conceptual categories named as : being a teacher, settling down, finding a place and coping with change. They were then drawn into the core category – Being – in- Becoming. Being – in- Becoming, means in this study, that a person is the Nurse teacher simply because that person has taken on the work of a teacher. In being a teacher, the person is adapting, changing and learning how to become a teacher. Being – in- Becoming, is a process which is on going, never ending, and constantly changing. The essence of this study is that the teacher's experience of Being – in- Becoming. is influenced by personal development and the way the person comes to 'know' about the world of Nursing education who is also intimately connected to the way Nursing curriculum is defined and experienced by individual teachers. These findings have implications for Nursing education , in recognition of teacher's concerns, background meanings and problems which influence a person's experience of being a Nurse educator. Expectations that feelings should be 'managed' therefore ignored is consistent in a group which claims caring as the essence of Nursing practice. Excessive workloads are constantly cited as a major problem for worker. The organisation has the responsibility to acknowledge the human experience of those who work within this area and to undertake to respond in ways which can improve the situation for all |

| Abstract |
Attitudes towards the concept of professionalism have not been explored to any great extent in this country, especially the attitudes of the Clinical Nurse practitioner. The importance of knowing what Nurses attitudes are to this concept is central to the recognition of the current developmental stage and growth of the profession. A twenty statement Like-style attitudinal questionnaire was given to Registered Nurses to measure current attitudes to professionalism. No statistical significance was found between the degree of positively to professionalism and years of service, educational qualifications eg, practise area, or involvement with a professional organisation. There appeared to be a positive relationship between questionnaire score and length of time in the current practise area ( the longer the service the higher the score). Further statistical significance was found in questions highlighting what Nurses think of Nursing as a profession. This study should form the basis of further research and provide some thought for Nurse leaders, educators and policy makers |

| Abstract |
The study gives an account of curriculum development and innovation in a New Zealand school of nursing and focuses on some aspects of the basic diploma course. The study attempts, through the medium of case study, to illuminate the way in which significant curriculum decisions are made and ideas translated into institutional and technical form. Evidence is derived from the recorded perceptions of the participants, observations, and analyses of documented material. The findings confirm that the field of study is complex, multivariable and dynamic, and that translation of the curriculum on paper involves a multitude of deliberative and factual decisions by practicing teachers |

| Abstract |
A pilot study to determine the effectiveness of the assessment tool as a data collection device was crucial to the effectiveness of the major study. The pilot sample consisted of 10 patients who participated in the assessment phase of the Nursing process. Patients complied with therapeutic objectives to control urinary incontinence when they participated in the assessment phase and when 24 hour Nursing support is available. The removal of this support ( within the Hospital environment) may be integral to long term compliance |
