Title Owning their expertise: Why nurses use 'no suicide contracts' rather than their own assessments Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication International Journal of Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 11 Issue 4 Pages 214-219
Keywords Interprofessional relations; Psychiatric Nursing; Community health nursing; Qualiltative research; Suicide
Abstract (up) 'No suicide contracts' are a tool commonly used by nurses in community crisis situations. At times this tool is utilised because the clinician believes that it is beneficial. However, there are other occasions when 'No suicide contracts' are introduced in a manner that runs counter to the clinical judgement of the crisis nurse. This paper discusses the results of a qualitative study that addressed the question of why nurses use 'No suicide contracts' in such situations, rather than relying on their own expertise. This analysis suggests that underlying concerns of clinicians can determentally affect decision-making in such circumstances, and recommends that rather than subjugating nursing expertise, underlying issues be addressed directly.

Title Advanced 'prescribing' of nurses' emergency holding powers under New Zealand mental health legislation Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication International Journal of Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 11 Issue 3 Pages 164-169
Keywords Mental health; Law and legislation; Psychiatric Nursing; Scope of practice
Abstract (up) A new approach to mental health legislation has seen the involvement of a range of health professionals in legislated mental health roles, including the power of registered nurses to detain patients in hospital under Section 111 of the New Zealand Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act (1992). Under this Section, a nurse who believes that a voluntary patient meets the legal criteria of the Act can independently detain the patient for a period of up to six hours, pending further assessment by a medical practitioner. However, anecdotal evidence and a clinical audit undertaken by the authors suggest some doctors 'prescribe' Section 111 at the time of admission. This practice instructs nurses to initiate Section 111 if particular voluntary patients choose to leave hospital. This study outlines practice issues resulting from 'prescribing' Section 111; provides a legal critique of medical practitioners' involvement in this practice; and makes recommendations for guidelines toward a more constructive use of Section 111.

Title The successful design and delivery of rural health services: The meaning of success Type Report
Year 2002 Publication Abbreviated Journal Accessible from www.moh.govt.nz
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Rural health services; Management; Primary health care
Abstract (up) A report on the analysis of data from an in-depth survey designed by Sue Dawson, previously Rural Health Researcher in the Centre for Rural Health, and follow-up interviews. The study purpose was to construct a definition of ?successful design and delivery of rural health services? as a step towards a measurement tool. Participants were grouped as general practitioners (GPs), nurses and community representatives. A format for a participatory approach to evaluation of rural health services is derived from the criteria of success identified, with its relevance for the implementation of the new Government primary health care strategy explicit. This format provided the basis for a subsequent evaluation case study undertaken in a small rural forestry township by the Centre for Rural Health.

Title A Maori model of primary health care nursing Type Book Whole
Year 2002 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 192 p.
Keywords Primary health care nursing; Maori women's health; Maori model of health; Kaupapa Maori research; Health reforms; Health policy; Surveys
Abstract (up) Identifies how traditional nursing practice in Maori communities may be enhanced. Highlights the need for nursing to broaden concepts of health, community, and public health nursing, to focus on issues of capacity-building, community needs, and a broader understanding of the social, political, cultural, and economic contexts of the communities primary health-care nurses serve. Explores how health is experienced by Maori women during in-depth interviews using critical ethnographic method, underpinned by a Maori-centred approach. Articulates a model of health that is a dynamic process based on the restoration and maintenance of cultural integrity, derived from the principle of self-determination.

Title An analysis of the role of the practice nurse in primary health care, 2000/2001 Type
Year 2002 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Primary health care; Practice nurses
Abstract (up) In 1999 primary health care in New Zealand was in the process of change from the current personal health care model, which focuses on general practitioner based care, to a population and community based health care programme. Carryer, Dignam, Horsburgh, Hughes and Martin (1999) submitted a report to the National Health Commission entitled “Locating Nursing in Primary Health Care”. This report envisaged that nurses in primary health care would be part of interdisciplinary teams, act autonomously and undertake community consultation and education. The submission suggested that nurses, currently working in primary health care, were alraedy prepared and able to move across into the new form of primary health care, without further education or training.
