Abstract |
The report of an exploratory study of current approaches to case management by nurses as requested by the College of Nurses Aotearoa New Zealand. It revealed different interpretations of nurse case management around New Zealand and in the US, UK and Australia. They differed according to the conceptualisation of health service design and delivery in the respective country. Case management in New Zealand in general presented nurse care management roles as an interface between the mangement of health service delivery and the peculiarities of the healthcare people received, holding the potential for achieving tailored, patient-centred care outcomes. |

Abstract |
An overview of the model of nursing practice and nurse roles derived through a programme of nursing research in the context of the changing New Zealand health system. The emphasis is on the complementary nature of the practice of family nurses taking a generic integrative service delivery hub role and the practice of other nurses advancing in specialist roles. Nursing care is presented as a professional, collective practice of registered nurses spread across all health service sectors and employment settings. Nurse roles are differentiated according to the interplay of two factors influencing the extent of practice autonomy the nurses assume (educationally supported) in responding to health need. A diagram depicts the interrelationship of competency and scope for the inclusive three different career trajectories of nurses advancing in practice. NOTE: This paper was published with an error in the title of the article (stated correctly on the journal contents page). An apology from the journal editor with an explanation of the importance of the use of the term ?advancing? and not ?advanced? was published in the subsequent issue (Nursing Praxis in NZ,14(1)). |

Abstract |
Report to the Winston Churchill Memorial Trust on Professional Supervision for registered Nurses and Midwives, May 1998.
Objective of Project:
To explore the extent of the development of a model of clinical supervision for nurses in the United Kingdom.
Some of the key points that emerged:
- Clinical supervision is a strong and accepted part of nursing culture in Britain. While not mandatory and not available to, or accepted by, all nurses, it is nevertheless generally known about and discussed at main nursing forums
- The strong support and directives coming from nursing leadership is a major factor in the adoption of clinical supervision as a developmental, support and quality control
- The increasing availability of resource material, courses, and in particular the investment made by the Department of Health and the Scottish Home and Health Office in funding a 23 site evaluation project has stimulated implementation of clinical supervision |

Abstract |
There has been a great deal written about the efforts of the nursing profession to achieve full professional status but little about individual nurses' aspirations in seeking this goal. A group of 6 co-researchers, myself included, looked at this perceived gap in nurses' dreams for the profession.The philosophical underpinnings of the research were feminist and reflected postmodern feminist and some radical feminist concepts. This philosophical positions guided our research to uncover the knowledge of how we actively construct ourselves into dominant social values. This means we were searching for how our dreams were constructed and how we reflected the values of society in the way we produced our dreams. Peace and Power (Chinn & Wheeler, 1989) was used to guide the group interaction and Memory-Work (Hague, 1987) for data collecting and analysis. The co-researchers wrote individual stories about their dreams for the nursing profession. Collective analysis of the stories occurred in order to uncover the was in which the dreams were constructed. From this collective analysis the individual co-researchers redrafted their stories. Each redraft contained new insights, motives and actions of ourselves and others, forgotten experiences and inconsistencies, as a means of identifying and questioning dominant ideologies. The aim was to move towards empowerment through making the unconscious conscious.Four common dreams emerged from analysis of the stories: the first was that individual nurses want full professional status and autonomy; the second asked the nurses to care and support each other; a high standard of patient and nursing-focussed care was the third dream; and the fourth was for continuing education and knowledge to be shared between nurses. Although the dreams were common across the group it was found that the dreams varied in their construction. The dreams for each group member reflected multiple realities that emerged from different contexts, influenced by historical and socially dominant cultural values.Through studying and theorising our dreams for the nursing profession, we increased our understanding of how they were shaped so that we were able to initiate change and make our dreams become a reality. This has implications for the nursing profession. We live our lives collectively, as nurses and women, as others influence our being and reality. Although others influence us, it is each individual nurse who contributes to actively construct her/himself in to the dominant cultural values held by society and therefore up to each individual to initiate change. If nurses are able to make dreams a reality then positive changes will occur within the profession; I.e. decreased staff turnover, increased morale and increased quality in patient care |

Abstract |
The focus of this thesis is the practice of the nurses employed in the Native Health Nursing Scheme in New Zealand from 1911 to 1930. These nurses were a vanguard movement for change in community nursing services as they established a new role and developed innovative ways of practicing nursing while claiming greater autonomy and accountability for nurses who worked in community settings. Consequently they contributed to an increase in status for nurses in New Zealand.The Native Health Nursing Scheme was established by the Health Department to replace the Maori Health Nursing Scheme, an initiative by Maori leaders for Maori nurses to provide nursing care for their own people. The original scheme had foundered amid under-resourcing, a lack of support from hospital boards and administrative chaos. Government policy for Maori health was openly assimilationist and the mainly non-Maori Native Health nurses carried out this policy, yet paradoxically adapting their practice in order to be culturally acceptable to Maori.Their work with the Maori people placed the Native Health nurses in a unique position to claim professional territory in a new area of practice. As they took up the opportunities for an expanded nursing role, they practiced in a manner which would develop the scope and status of nursing. The geographical isolation of their practice setting provided the nurses with the challenge of practicing in an environment of minimal administrative and professional support, while also offering them the opportunity for independence and relative autonomy. Obedience, duty and virtue, qualities highly valued in women of the day, were expected especially in nurses. These expectations were in direct contrast to the qualities necessary to perform the duties of the Native Health nurse. The conditions under which these nurses worked and lived, the decisions they were required to make, and the partnerships they needed to establish to be effective in the communities in which they worked, required courage, strength, organizational ability and commitment |

Abstract |
The diagnosis of childhood cancer has a profound impact on the family. How nurses understand family affects their practice with families facing the diagnosis of childhood cancerShaped by Heideggerian phenomenology, van Manens methodology for hermeneutic phenomenology was used to construct an understanding of family from the experiences of family members facing the diagnosis of childhood cancer. Seven family members from two families, one mother, two fathers, two siblings, and two grandparents were interviewed about their experience of facing the diagnosis of childhood cancer.From the participants experience the meaning of family was interpreted as being-with-others, for-the-sake-of-others, who one might not distinguish from oneself. This understanding of family is recognisable, yet different from traditional definitions of family and may help nurses and family members to act more thoughtfully and tactfully with each other |

Abstract |
This is an oral herstory of two West Coast Women in conversation with a contemporary, and all are nurses. The conversations are presented as whole patterns which are quilted together to form a story within a story. I have woven in my story, with the commonality of being a nurse and having lived on the West Coast for five years.Until the 1960s, women on the West Coast had had very little written about their lives and the nursing records on the Coast were very limited, even in the 1990s. The women in this study conveyed the childhood memories and the nursing days, as they reflected on a training that was strictly disciplined, hierarchical in a hospital based apprentice system.The opportunity to do this project has enabled me to explore some of the aspects of the lives of women on the West Coast, particularly through the eyes of two wonderful women. Their contribution has been particularly valuable, in that they were able to convey how it was for them as children, and also the experiences of their mother and other women. Both were nurses who trained at Grey River Hospital between 1933 and 1946, and they were able to recall their nursing days on the Coast and make a contribution to West Coast history.It has enabled me to rediscover my own nursing story and to gain insight into the conversations that will inspire my nursing, and enable me to hand on stories to other nurses. This thesis will also be of interest to nurses of the future, reflecting on the past and experiencing how it was then |
