Abstract |
This thesis presents a study of a nursing 'practicum' from the perspectives of nursing students and staff 'buddies'. A grounded theory approach was used to interview six nursing students during their transition placement, the final practicum of their Diploma in Nursing programme. Five staff nurse buddies selected by the students were also interviewed. An informal, conversational interview was used and data was analysed from an experiential learning perspective.This study differs from others because it focuses on the clinical experience component of nursing education, 'practicum', and includess practitioners viewpoints. At present there is a re-evaluing of experience within nursing education with a new emphasis on practice-based learning. Experience-based learning is becoming increasingly acceptable within academia as a 'seamless' education system evolves.I identified three learning stages which students' experience during practicum – initiation, exploration and consolidation. The key stage for learning through experience was exploration. Learning during this stage was predominantly buddy-directed which contradicted the self-directed curriculum design. Students and staff nurses however agreed that communication between them during this stage enabled the development of 'competence'.The learning /teaching approach used by the students and staff nurses made it difficult for students to translate their 'all-round' competencies during practicum. It is argued that it is the useof such competencies during practicum which enable nursing students to become autonomous in the attitudinal and epistemological sense. The predominantly 'technical training' approach adopted was understood by students and staff nurses to be reinforced by 'silence' from tutors.Restructuring gives the opportunity for nursing to develop an ';investigative', enquiry-based approach in practice. There will increasingly be an emphasis on practice-based research as a result of the implementation of degree and post-graduate programmes in nursing. This study highlights some aspects of nursing education and it's relationship with practice which can assist the development of such an approach |

Abstract |
The move to nursing degrees has encouraged educators to use student centredteaching methods which develop problem solving skills, critical thinking andreflection. Kola's Experiential learning cycle is proposed as one method to developsome of these skills. The study compared the effectiveness of three differentmethods of teaching the instillation of eye drops and application of an eye pad. Asample of 73 volunteers from a Diploma of Nursing programme were systematicallyassigned to one of three groups. The modified experimental design consisted of acontrol group (tutor demonstration and student practice), Kolb's group (teachingusing the experiential cycle) and the SDL group (self directed learning using writteninformation with no tutor instruction or feedback). Participants rated their confidence,competence and the amount of thinking, analysis, guidance and problem solvingbefore and after each method.Results for instilling eye drops indicated that there were no significant differences onthe pre-test ratings and a marginally significant difference (p=0.06) on the post testratings across the teaching methods. Results for the eye pad showed no significantdifferences on pre-test or post-test ratings across the methods. Students learnt by allmethods and the differences, if there were any, were not large enough to bedetected in this study. There was a significant difference in problem solving and tutorguidance across the methods due to the low ratings of the SDL group. There was nosignificant difference in thinking, analysis or partner guidance across the methods |

Abstract |
This report builds upon previous research undertaken in 1992 entitled 'the ethical preparation and practice of nurses: a pilot research project'. The overall aim was to compare new data with the results and tentative conclusions of the earlier research. Following two years of data gathering and analysis and discussions with diverse groups of experienced nurses, the conclusions of the earlier study were re-appraised in light of the contemporary developments in nursing ethics. The main conclusion of the research was that several nurses already possessed an ethic that was appropriate for their practice, but that it was unrecognised by other health professionals |

A phenomenological approach was used to discover the meanings beyond the respondents descriptions and expressions of what it meant to be to be cared for, or to provide care |

Abstract |
A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for Master of Philosophy in Management Studies and Labour Relations, University of Auckland.
The study addresses the question of career transition from a professional role to a management role within the health service – what changes and adjustments in role content (or tasks), relationships and identity are experienced? What skills, perspectives and values are brought forward from the old role to the new role, and which must be abandoned to accommodate a new identity?
Answers to these questions hold relevance for those planning management development and management recruitment in the health service, and also for those planning career development for health professionals. |
