Title Trailblazers: Primary health care programme evaluation Type (up) Conference Article
Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal coda, An Institutional Repository for the New Zealand ITP Sector
Volume Paper presented June 2004 at Royal New Zealand Plu Issue Pages
Keywords New graduate nurses; Primary health care; Evaluation research; Professional development
Abstract This report is an evaluation of the academic journey undertaken by a group of newly graduated nurses who were sponsored by a New Zealand district health board to work in a variety of primary health care nursing settings. The impetus for this pilot employment option was the Ministry of Health's focus on primary health care nursing and workforce development for this sector and the Expert Advisory Committee for primary health care nursing's recommendations to district health boards regarding employment of graduate nurses and support for them to engage in post graduate study. Evaluation participants were primarily the graduate nurses who were interviewed at the end of their first year of practice which was following programme completion then again nine to ten months later. Findings include the nurses reflections on what supported them and what acted to impede as barriers to their learning success and practice development. The report concludes with five recommendations that can be used to ensure that the travels of future newly graduated nurses taking this pathway are supported, safe and successful.
