  Title A retrospective study of patients with cancer in their terminal year Type (up) Journal Article
  Year 1986 Publication New Zealand Medical Journal Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 99 Issue 798 Pages 197-200  
  Keywords  
  Abstract This was a retrospective study of 100 Auckland people suffering from cancer in their terminal year. It aimed firstly to report the development of limitations in daily living activities and of dependence on help, and secondly to develop a method of assessing the functions of both patients and those who cared for them in such a way that support services could be matched to needs. The observations showed problems of progressive disability and dependence, which varied with the age of the patient and the type of malignancy. They showed clearly the long lasting emotional problems of the careers after the patients' death

  Year 1985 Publication New Zealand Nursing Journal Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 78 Issue 11 Pages 12-15  
  Keywords  
  Abstract In this article, the author will discuss the way in which the task of finding out whether staff levels were adequate in a long term ward was approached. Figures were collated using a patient dependency rating (described below) in use at the time of the article, estimated nursing hours per patient and staff numbers per day; the 3 sets of figures were kept over a 28 day period. The results gained were compared to results from articles and reports perused by the author and conclusions reached as to whether the staff levels were adequate or not. Following this, implications of lack of staff and possible solutions were discussed

  Year 1996 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 11 Issue 3 Pages 38-46  
  Keywords  
  Abstract High stress and staff turnover in a multi-specialty paediatric area prompted this study that aimed to :1) measure the burnout level of nurses in a multi-specialty paediatric area2) identify and validate causes of stress3) identify new ways of preventing stress on the wardFifty four percent (n=14) of the paediatric nurses completed the questionnaire booklet that included demographic data, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Nursing Situations Questionnaire the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-21 the Ways of Coping Checklist and open ended questions about sources of stress and satisfaction at work. Results indicated levelsof burnout and distress comparable with larger studies. Conflict with doctors was the major source of stress followed by workload, inadequate preparation in dealing with the emotional needs of patients and their families and death and dying. Conflict with doctors has not previously been identified as the major source of stress. However workload and death and dying are commonly identified as sources in the literature. Suggestions for further research and the low response rate are discussed

  Title The transition to registered nurse: the experience of a group of New Zealand degree graduates Type (up) Journal Article
  Year 1998 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 13 Issue 2 Pages 36-43  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Since 1991, nursing profession in New Zealand has primarily been through a three year programme. The purpose of this study was to explore the issues faced by a group of degree graduates in their first year of registered nurse practice and to identify if the degree graduatesoutcomes (such as critical thinking, problem solving, reflection on practice, research, independent learning, and using cultural safety knowledge) had mediated this transposition process. Purpose sampling was used to invite five female graduates to take part in two focusgroups, one held at months and the other at 9 months after starting work. Qualitative data were collected using semi-structured questions and the taped interviews were analysed for themes. Five themes were identified: accepting responsibility, accepting their level of knowledge, becoming a team member, professional standards, and workplace conditions. Graduates were using their cultural safety knowledge but they perceived their knowledge of research was linked to further academic. Their ability to critique their own practice was evident but they found it difficult to challenge their colleagues' practice and the wider agency culture. Implications of the study are discussed in relation to nursing education and preceptor programmes and areas for further research are indicated

  Title The role of student self-assessment in a Bachelor of Nursing Degree programme Type (up) Journal Article
  Year 1997 Publication Beginning Journeys: A Collection of Work Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 3 Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The purpose of this study was to determine if there was commonality amongst teachers, in perceptions of the role of student self-assessment in the nursing programme. Four nurse educators, who were teaching and supervising students undertaking self-assessment in clinical practice, participated in a semi-structured interview. Three focus questions guided the interviews and addressed the individual teachers perception of self-assessment, what the teacher considered the benefits of self-assessment to be, and how the teacher used student's self-assessment's in their role as clinical supervisor. The taped interviews were transcribed, and coded and general themes identified. The findings revealed a high degree of consensus amongst the teachers in regard to the co-operative nature of self-assessment, and the teacher's role as a facilitator. The need for students to develop skills of analysis and reflection on their performance as well as the need to furnish students with clear guidelines on what to self-assess, were highlighted
