Author Carter, T. openurl 
  Title The places we will go Type
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue (up) Pages  
  Keywords Nursing philosophy  
  Abstract The author examines how writing shapes her practice and how she nurses, her way of being and doing. She notes that “as human beings we cannot be broken into subsets, my personal and professional being inform each other, therefore you will find woven into the fabric of this paper my personal and professional becoming united by the dominant thread of nursing”. The paper is structured using the different phases of her career as a staff nurse, nurse practitioner and charge nurse. In each section she has linked the stories of children and young adults with reflections on her writing and how it has impacted her practice. She goes on to say that question and reflection are vital adjuncts to nurses' development as individual practitioners and to the profession. They facilitate journeying past the superficial into the deep of a relationship with patients and colleagues. She identifies a responsibility as nurses is to engage with the individual and help them find a space where they can regain a sense of hope and personal power. This paper follows the author's journey, leaving her with a clearer understanding of who she is and how she nurses.

  Title Getting it right: An exploration of compulsive caregiving and helping profession syndrome Type
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue (up) Pages  
  Keywords Psychology; Nursing  
  Abstract This thesis is a theoretical exploration of the concepts of 'Compulsive caregiving' and 'helping profession syndrome' in relation to the choice of nursing as a career. These concepts are derived from Bowlby's attachment theory and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Both have evolved from psychoanalytic theory. The thesis explains Bowlby's development of compulsive caregiving in health professionals. The author notes that her life history and experience as a nurse educator and as a nurse practicing psychotherapy support this theoretical explanation. An argument is developed that the propensity towards compulsive caregiving is a strength in nurses. Nursing places high value on caring and many of the traits exhibited by compulsive caregivers are desirable in nurses. Nursing as a caring interpersonal process is explored with reference to the literature. However, nursing has been identified as a stressful occupation. Support strategies such as professional supervision and reflective practice are discussed. Thesis concludes with a suggestion for further research on compulsive caregiving and helping profession syndrome.

  Title Stigma, discrimination and a model for psychiatric mental health nursing practice Type
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue (up) Pages  
  Keywords Mental health; Psychiatric Nursing; Psychology  
  Abstract This paper seeks to understand the aetiology of stigma. The word stigma comes from the Greek language and refers to a brand, a mark of shame. Society has used this phenomenon to mark those who do not fit with the stereotypical virtual identity expected by a group. Stigma has persisted throughout the ages to enforce norms and sanction rules. Stigma is a term used to broadly define an attitude to negative attributes. It is a way of treating people that indicates to the individual, they are different from the norm. Research indicates the general population has discriminatory attitudes to those who have experienced mental illness. This discrimination impacts on the lives of those people. Their stories tell of shame, sadness and anguish. Families too, feel the ongoing effects of stigma. Psychiatric mental health professionals are said to perpetuate the discrimination arising from the stigma of mental illness. This is shown in the literature to persist through labelling and disempowering practices. The attitude of nurses in particular is critical to promoting healing environments. It is thought that a humanistic altruistic approach to nursing practice will help to eliminate discriminatory practice by nurses. It is hoped that this approach will create collaborative care that gives the individual the respect, response, choice and support they need to assist in recovering from mental illness.

  Title Suctioning adults with an artifical airway: A systematic review Type Book Whole
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Subscriber access at the Joanna Briggs Institute  
  Volume Issue (up) Pages  
  Keywords Evidence-based medicine; Nursing research  
  Abstract This systematic review was conducted by the New Zealand Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, a collaborating centre of The Joanna Briggs Institute for Evidence Based Nursing and Midwifery. The aim was to present the best available evidence on interventions, which are effective in preventing or reducing the prevalence of complications associated with suctioning, in hospitalised adult patients with an artificial airway who are breathing spontaneously or are artificially ventilated and who require suctioning. The specific questions addressed were as follows: Which methods of suctioning reduce the prevalence of mucosal trauma or mucosal dysfunction, and promote the removal of respiratory secretions? Which techniques or methods are effective in reducing the occurrence of suctioning -induced hypoxaemia, during or following the suctioning procedure? Which techniques or methods are effective in minimising the haemodynamic or pulmonary complications associated with the suctioning procedure?
