| Title | Therapeutic relationships: What are inpatient registered nurses perceptions of the factors which influence therapeutic relationship development? | Type | |||
| Year | 2003 | Publication  |
Abbreviated Journal | Victoria University of Wellington Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Psychiatric Nursing; Registered nurses; Nurse-patient relations; Mental health | ||||
| Abstract | The question explored in this research project is: What are inpatient registered nurses' perceptions of the factors which influence therapeutic relationship development? The literature reviewed for this project includes the history of interpersonal relationships in nursing; therapeutic relationships; what constitutes these relationships. Also discussed is literature about phenomenology as the underlying theoretical and philosophical position that informs the research method. To answer the research question a single focus group was used to gather data from a group of registered nurses practising in inpatient mental health units. Focus groups as a data collection method produce data and insights that would not be accessible without the group interaction. The key themes to emerge from the data analysis were; time, environment, knowing / self-awareness, compassion and power imbalance / empowerment. These key themes are discussed in relation to the literature and the wider context of the mental health care environment. The contribution this research makes to nursing includes a list of recommendations to nurses, nurse leaders and managers who aim to provide therapeutic mental health unit environments. | ||||

Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 323 pp | ||
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY 2003. This thesis highlights the ways in which the practices of contemporary midwives in Aotearoa/New Zealand are caught within the intersection of an array of competing discourses. The context for this is the reconstruction of midwifery in Aotearoa/New Zealand as an autonomous feminist profession founded on partnership with women. Interviews and participant observation with midwives, based mainly in one New Zealand city, are the basis of an analysis of the complexity of midwives? praxis as professionals. The analysis draws on insights from critical and feminist approaches to Foucault?s theories of discourse, power and the subject. It includes discussion of the conditions which came to produce and authorise the concept of ?partnership?. Which subjects can speak about partnership, and when? What claims are made about it? What challenges it? |

| Title | The experience of the nurse at triage influences the timing of CPAP intervention | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication |
Accident & Emergency Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 11 | Issue | 4 | Pages | 234-238 |
| Keywords | Emergency nursing; Clinical decision making; Hospitals; Quality of health care | ||||
| Abstract | This study used a non-experimental correlational design to research the relationship between the experience of the nurse, with the application of continuous positive airway pressure therapy (CPAP) to patients presenting to a metropolitan emergency department with cardiogenic pulmonary oedema (CPO), and to establish what difference, if any, CPAP made to outcomes. A retrospective audit of records was used to extract data on all 54 patients that received CPAP over a 12-month period. The primary outcome measures were off CPAP within two hours, transfer to intensive care unit or cardiac care unit, and secondary outcome measures were length of hospital stay and death. There was a trend towards more experienced nurses attending patients who required immediate treatment or treatment within 10 minutes. These patients were more likely to be recognised at triage as requiring CPAP therapy. The early application of CPAP reduced hospital mortality, length of stay, and the need for intubation and ventilation. Attention needs to be given on how best to educate nurses so that more patients presenting with acute respiratory failure can benefit from nurses' decision-making regarding the commencement of CPAP. | ||||

| Title | Palliative care: Palliative care philosophy in care homes: Lessons from New Zealand | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication |
British Journal of Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 12 | Issue | 16 | Pages | 974-979 |
| Keywords | Palliative care; Attitude of health personnel | ||||
| Abstract | Drawing on data from a large convenience sample of caregivers in New Zealand, this article argues for a reappraisal of the way in which care homes view death and dying and advocates the more widespread adoption of a palliative care philosophy. Increasing numbers of people are dying in care homes yet little is known about the nature and quality of their deaths. The limited research available suggests that there is a need to promote a philosophy of palliative care that is not confined to the terminal phase of life. However, adopting such an approach appears to be inhibited by a lack of understanding, education and training, as well as continuing reluctance to discuss issues of death and dying in an open and honest way. | ||||

Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 15 | Issue | 3 | Pages | 222-231 |
| Keywords | Transcultural nursing; Maori; Psychiatric Nursing | ||||
| Abstract | This paper provides an overview of the evolving meaning of 'culture' in New Zealand nursing. Then, drawing upon the findings of research that used hermeneutic phenomenology to explore the experience of nursing people from cultures other than one's own, a description of the constituent parts is of this phenomenon is briefly outlined and followed by an exemplar that describes the coalescent and contradictory nature of the phenomenon as a whole. As New Zealand nurses negotiate the conflicts essential for ongoing development of their practice, interplay of the notions of prejudice, paradox and possibility is evident at intrapersonal and interpersonal levels as well as in relation to professional and other discourses. | ||||

Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 14 | Issue | 2 | Pages | 196-204 |
| Keywords | Childbirth; Patient safety; Advanced nursing practice; Midwifery | ||||
| Abstract | This paper moves away from the prevalent discourse of competence to consider the meaning of the experience of 'being safe' within the context of childbirth. It offers findings from a doctoral study, informed by the philosophies of Heidegger and Gadamer. Following ethical approval, the data was collected in New Zealand by tape-recorded interviews of 5 midwives, 4 obstetricians, 1 general practitioner and 10 women. The method was informed by van Manen. The findings reveal that in seeking the meaning of being safe one needs to be aware that the unsafety may already be present in the situation. Practitioners may be able to do little to rectify the unsafeness. There is, however, a spirit of safe practice, explicated in this paper, that is likely to make practice as safe as it can possibly be. Wise practitioners are ever mindful that a situation may be or become unsafe, and are always aware of their own limitations. | ||||

Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 16 | Issue | 1-2 | Pages | 92-101 |
| Keywords | Cardiovascular diseases; Gender; Nursing; Research | ||||
| Abstract | This literature review explores some of the issues related to women's experience of cardiac rehabilitation and demonstrates that women's experience may be different to that of men. Much of the research related to coronary heart disease (CHD) has been performed using either exclusively male populations or such small numbers of women that the results from the women studied were unable to be analysed independently. The author advocates that nurses working within this area of practice require an understanding of women's experience of recovery from a heart attack in order to better meet their needs. | ||||

| Title | The nurse's role in improving indigenous health | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication |
Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 15 | Issue | 3 | Pages | 232-240 |
| Keywords | Transcultural nursing; Maori; Health status | ||||
| Abstract | The health status of indigenous peoples is a global concern with mortality and hospitalisation data indicating that the health of indigenous groups falls below that of other ethnic groups within their countries. The preliminary findings of grounded theory research project undertaken with a group of 23 New Zealand Maori women about their health priorities and 'mainstream' health service needs provide the foundation for an exploration of issues impacting on the health status of indigenous people. The role that nursing and nurses have in improving access and use of health services by indigenous people is discussed. Strategies are suggested that nurses can utilise within their practice when working with local indigenous groups. | ||||

| Title | Paradoxical pursuits in child health nursing practice: Discourses of scientific mothercraft | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication |
Critical Public Health | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 13 | Issue | 3 | Pages | 281-293 |
| Keywords | Plunket; Nurse-family relations; Paediatric nursing; Nursing philosophy | ||||
| Abstract | The purpose of this paper is to examine the discourses of scientific mothercraft and their implications for the nurse-mother relationship, drawing on the author's recent research into surveillance and the exercise of power in the child health nursing context. The application of Foucauldian discourse analysis to the texts generated by interviews with five New Zealand child health nurses confirms that this paradoxical role has never been fully resolved. Plunket nurses primarily work in the community with the parents of new babies and preschool children. Their work, child health surveillance, is considered to involve routine and unproblematic practices generally carried out in the context of a relationship between the nurse and the mother. However, there are suggestions in the literature that historically the nurse's surveillance role has conflicting objectives, as she is at the same time an inspector and family friend. | ||||

| Abstract | Sexual health clinics and the people who visit them commonly face stigma. Sexually transmitted infections have historically been used to divide people into “clean” and “dirty”. A grounded theory study of the work of sixteen nurses in six sexual health services in New Zealand was undertaken to explore the management of sexual health care. The study uncovered the psychological impact of negative social attitudes towards the people who visit sexual health services and to the staff who work there. Sexual health nurses manage the results of stigma daily and reveal in their interactions with clients a process of destigmatisation. | ||||
