| Abstract |
There is concern over the standards of nursing practice skill acquisition in undergraduate programs. One of the issues relevant to this is which of the multitude of nursing practice skills to include in an undergraduate program. Previous research by Alavi, Loh and Reilly (1991) has been modified and used in clinical settings in the New Zealand context in order to address this concern. Competency level of the most important skills identified by clinicians was also sought in order to aid development of a skill curriculum for Whitireia Community Polytechnic. There is a strong theoretical support for the preparation of student nurses in skills laboratories prior to clinical learning experience in order to maximise learning. Further directions for study are covered with discussion of the implications for teaching from the research findings |

| Abstract |
This exploratory descriptive study used focus groups to investigate experienced mental health nurses' perceptions of expertise in relation to their practice. Two focus group discussions were conducted, one compiling 4 nurses working in in-patient care, and the other with 5 nurses working in community care. The nurse-patient relationship was the central theme for both groups. Three sub-themes were identified and are discussed. They are: involvement, individualising care & minimising visibility. The significance of these themes for the articulation of mental health nursing practice is discussed |

| Abstract |
In 1997, Advanced Mental Health Nursing Programmes were funded nationally by the Clinical Training Agency using the funds made available subsequent to the 1996 Mason Report. The training leads to an award of either a post graduate certificate or diploma awarded by a tertiary education provider.A review was conducted with the aim to monitor the impact on service provision of advanced mental health nurse practitioner training. This was done by obtaining feedback through using an agreed standard questionnaire from course participants and mental health service providers.In seeking to learn more about the impact of these programmes, the CTA identified the following key issues:- what effect the courses may have had on mental health workforce make-up, skills and retention.- perceptions of programme delivery and content.- the impact on service delivery.Overall findings are shared which highlight that the course was seen as well organised and participants and service providers would recommend it to their colleagues. The greatest effect of the course appeared to be in developing more understanding of clinical supervision. Participating in the course had also led to positive changes in relationships with the clients and colleagues for more than three quarters of the group.The provision of an Advanced Mental Health Nursing Programme in 1997 has had many positive effects. The funding strategy and delivery models that have evolved may provide a useful template for other nursing specialty areas |

| Abstract |
The New Zealand Nurses organsation agreed to become the accrediting body for nurses in NZ in 1994 and Susanne Trim, NZNO Professional Nursing Adviser, worked with the National Practice Nurse Section to develop and pilot a model for accreditation.A consultative process was used to develop a framework and process during 1995 and this was unanimously endorsed in the April 1996 National Practice Nurse Section AGM.Implementation occurred from May 1996 to March 1998 with a comprehensive evaluation of the model collection of data from practice nurse applicants, non-applicants, the Practice Nurse Accreditation Board, National PN Sections and the project co-ordinator.The number of applications received exceeded expectations 212 (14% NZNO practice nurse members). There was a high level of satisfaction expressed by applicants.A number of content issues were identified during the pilot as needing review, clarification and amendment. These were of a minor nature rather than recommended changes to the structure itself.The accreditation Board processes were modified part way through the implementation to improve efficiencies and were found to be satisfactory. The training model and timing were appropriate.Administrative support and central co-ordination through designated NZNO staff member proved to be time consuming but vital.Practice Nurses embraced accreditation however as a group they have some minor unique characteristics. This should caution NZNO to proceed gradually with accreditation of other Section Nurses and monitor progress closely |
