| Abstract |
This study was conducted to investigate the practise of Nurses when working with depressed patients in an In Care setting. A survey of the literature shows that the role commonly prescribed for nurses who work in psychiatric settings is one that emphasises a one- on -one relationship based on models of psychotherapy and focuses on individual illness, pathology, systems and psycho dynamics. It is suggested that this is not a role which most Nurses working in New Zealand psychiatric settings would be able to implement in practise. Three perspective's of Nursing practise were explored in the study. What Nurses were seen to do in practice. What they thought they should do as evidenced in results of an exercise to rank different possible interventions, and what patients said were helpful Nursing interventions. A framework was developed for the study which depicts the process of helplessness(depression) as the negative 'mirror -image' of the process of self care. Results were analysed within this framework to determine whether or not Nurses tended to support behaviours which were indicative of movement towards helplessness or encourage those which indicated progress towards self care by their interventions. There was little evidence of positive reinforcement for independent or coping behaviours with patients in the study sample. Further, the nursing practise showed little relationship to the role prescribed in the literature. The Nurses did demonstrate a warm caring friendly approach that seemed to stem from a more traditional 'succouring, mothering' view of Nurses' role |

In this study a questionnaire was designed to survey the incidence of back strain amongst staff members of a geriatric unit. This was completed by 71 staff members of a total of 99 forms issued. It would appear that back strain occurs in 70% of cases, but it is reported in only 8%. The causes of back strain in nursing are discussed and preventative measures outlined |

| Abstract |
This study outlines the use of grounded theory strategy to analyse the experience of nurses who become involuntarily unemployed. It then proceeds to develop a theoretical framework that explain the common patterns in this experience. Using the Glasser and Strauss (1967) Grounded Theory approach, empirical observation was undertaken expressly for the purpose of generating insights which may lead to new understanding of the subject of this study. Using two inter-related procedures known as theoretical sampling and constant comparative analysis, data is systematically collected, coordinated and subjected to an ongoing analysis. Theory is then 'grounded ' in the real world. The study involved in depth interviewing of five mid-career nurses who were involuntarily unemployed. The data was transcribed and analysed to yield theoretical concepts and categories that were integrated into propositions to explain common patterns. It will be argued that this experience is a grieving process that is more that just grieving a job loss. It is proposed that there are three phases – 1. Personal devastation due to losses experienced.. 2. A period of healing. 3. Recovery and re-establishment of the 'new' person. |

| Abstract |
Accent on Nursing services is on service to patients with job satisfaction of employees placed in a less worthy positions. Indices of low levels of Nurses' job satisfaction in some areas of our Hospitals in the Auckland Hospital Board indicate the established relationships between performance and morale is not always transformed into supervisory and management practise in the work situation. As recognition of job satisfaction needs is a prime factor in change, the research study is designed to measure through questionnaire and scaling methods the effect of a one week management training course on the attitudes of superiors to the job satisfaction needs of their subordinates |
