| Abstract |
The ICN International classification for nursing practice project.Terms used by Community-based Mental Health Nurses to describe their practice.In December 1995 a team of advisors from throughout the Asia and pacific region gathered in Taipei, Republic of China, for the International Council of Nurses (ICN) International Classification of Nursing Practice (ICNP) project. During the week long workshop the early draft Classification architecture was presented and exercises were undertaken to test the relevance and accuracy of selected Terms and associated characteristics from the classification. The team of Consultants, who have been working on the Classification since 1990, identified that the most underdeveloped aspects of the hierarchy were community health and mental health nursing. They encouraged the team of Advisors to conduct research with nurses to add to these areas of the Classification in particular.The purpose of the ICP is to make nursing visible through an internationally accepted language which represents nursing diagnoses, interventions and outcomes. The classification is sponsored by ICN and follows a format similar to the WHO International Classification of Diseases (ICD) which is used extensively throughout the world to statistically record work completed by medical practitioners.The research undertaken at Lakeland Health with five Community-based Mental Health Nurses used the retrospective method of nursing diagnosis validation tool and field exercise method provided by the ICNP Consultant team. These were underpinned by participatory action research methodology. Over four sessions the participants identified six Terms and then field tested each to assess the relevance of that Term in practice. At the weekly sessions the participants shared their reflections on the validity of each Term and discussed other outcomes resulting from their involvement in the research process.The research report outlines the ICNP project and associated literature, explains the research methodology, identifies the resulting Terms and characteristics ready for submission to the ICNP Consultant team and examines outcomes from involvement in the participatory process |

| Abstract |
At Whitireira Community Polytechnic the curriculum philosophy for the Bachelor of Nursing Degree Programme is based on the Treaty of Waitangi, which provides a framework to articulate the concepts of Partnership, Governorship, Advocacy and Empowerment. This paper will describes a research study that aimed to explore the phenomenon of empowerment from the perspective of the student nurse.Using grounded theory methodology, emancipatory and feminist philosophies. Six year Two nursing participants were interviewed and asked to define the term empowerment and give exemplers of moments when they had been empowered in a teaching/learning context. Analysis of data led to the discovery of a theory and development of a theoretical model that described the conditions and consequences that led to empowerment or disempowerment for the student.The theoretical model will be presented and explained, and the conditions that enhanced empowerment will be explored. Recommendations from the research included the need for relevant preparation for students prior to clinical placement, preparation of clinicians through preceptor pregrammes, greater awareness by registered nurses of the communication that is effective in supporting student nurses and support for assisted reflection for students following clinical placements. It was further recommended that the theoretical model be tasted in other contexts |

| Abstract |
In 1995 we conducted a retrospective audit on a prospectively collated database to find out which intensive care patients missed out on psychiatric care after self poisoning. Our results showed that 57 patients in 1995 may not have received psychiatric follow-up assessment. Department of Critical Care Medicine (DCCM) follow-up was also less successful for this particular group. It was recommended that on admission to intensive care, all self poisoning patients would be referred to the Liaison Psychiatry Service (LPS).In 1996 we reviewed the databases of DCCM and LPS to determine if the quality of psychiatric follow-up had improved after the initial 1995 audit. In 1996 124 patients had 149 admissions (85F, age range 14.6-85.3, median 35, median GCS 9, 99 ventilated, 3 deaths). Thirteen patients had 25 admissions within 6 months of their index admission , 7/13 had a major psychiatric disorder. Mixed poisoning remained common. Forty-five admissions took cyclic antidepressants, 21 sedatives, 52 other medications, 25 ethanol (median 43 mmol/l ), 30 carbon monoxide and 5 took various non-prescription poisons.Thirteen went home, 32 to other hospitals, 4 to psychiatric hospitals and 97 were transferred to wards within Auckland Hospital. Psychiatric follow-up assessment was successful in 96/97 patients prior to discharge from Auckland Hospital. Those discharged to other hospitals or home were referred and followed up by LPS teams or other Mental Health Services.DCCM follow-up 4-6 weeks post discharge was more successful for 1996 with 120/146 contacted of which 33/120 were receiving ongoing psychiatric care. |

| Abstract |
Introduction Critically ill patients cannot clean their own teeth. A variety of methods are used but as the best method is unknown we performed a prospective randomised double-blind controlled trial of three methods.Method Of 359 consecutive admissions to the Department of Critical Care Medicine between 31/01/97 and 25/05/97, 222 were excluded (62 edentulous, 6 unexaminable, 142 transferred alive and 12 dead or dying at 24 hours). The remaining 137 patients had quantitative (picture-linked, ordinal score) assessment of caries, peridontal status and plaque (in 12 segments of teeth) before randomisation (to the use of either toothbrush, jumbo swab or sonic toothbrush) by pre-assigned sealed envelopes. All teeth were cleaned (prescribed four hourly) with 0.2% chlorhexidine solution. Daily plaque scores were obtained (by an assessor (SC) blind to treatment allocation) until withdrawal, death or transfer.Results Toothbrush Jumboswab SonicPatients assigned 50 48 39Withdrawn within 24hrs. 9 3 5Patients remaining 41 45 34Percentage of teeth segments thatare pristine: pre treatment 45 50 51 after 2 days 74 57 90 F(2.63) = 5.00 p = 0.0097 More withdrawals for patient noncompliance after randomisation occurred in the sonic group (5/34 versus 3/86). Conclusion. By the second day the sonic toothbrush was the most effective in plaque removal with the toothbrush the next most effective method |
