Crawford, R., Hedley, C., & Marshall, B. (2011). Influences on Registered Nurses Having an annual influenza vaccination: Lessons from New Zealand. Kai Tiaki Nursing Research, 2(1), 12–16.
Abstract: The aim of this research was to explore what influences registered nurses (RNs) to have the annual influenza vaccine. In the past, influenza vaccination of health care workers has been identified as the primary method of preventing influenza transmission to at-risk groups that, by virtue of illness, congregate in and around hospitals.
Findings showed that some RNs have confidence in the influenza vaccine being effective in preventing influenza infection; however there remained a high proportion of RNs who thought that the vaccine could or might cause influenza. Participants had incorrect knowledge and beliefs about the influenza vaccine, infection and cross infection.

Lyneham, J., & Byrne, H. (2011). Nurses' experience of what helped and hindered during the Christchurch Earthquake. Kai Tiaki Nursing Research, 2(1), 17–20.
Abstract: On September 3, 2010, the night nurses at Christchurch Hospital in New Zealand went to work unaware of the personal and professional challenges that were about to unfold in the following hours. This paper, derived from the results of a phenomenological research project, explores the issues that helped and hindered nurses during that night shift and in the three days following the 7.1 earthquake, which struck in the early morning of September 4, around 20km from the hospital. This narrative article allows the world to hear the voices of Christchurch nurses who were providing care in the first 24 hours and during the three days following that major seismic event.

Miskelly, P., Neal, P., & Green, A. (2011). Communities of Practice: Supporting innovation to improve public health nurse and school community relationships. Held by NZNO Library, 2(1), 21–26.
Abstract: Public health nursing has been an integral part of health delivery services in New Zealand since the development of a public health service in the early 1900s.
This paper details a qualitative study of a practice innovation undertaken by a group of nurses to reconnect with their school communities. Questions focused on whether the relationship between the public health nurses and their school communities improved as a result of the innovation and what impact, if any, the project had on the public health nurse team itself. Community of practice theory revealed the importance of collaboration and the benefits that can accrue from this approach for both nurse and school communities.

Warren, B., Dovey, S., & Griffin, F. (2011). The evidence behind more than a decade of policy recommending influenza vaccination for young New Zealanders with long term medical conditions. Held by NZNO Library, 2(1), 27–32.
Abstract: This article reviews the recent evidence underpinning the New Zealand Ministry of Health's recommendation to offer free annual influenza vaccination to people aged six months to 64 years who have certain chronic medical conditions (eligible younger people). These results show there is relatively limited research providing evidence underpinning recommendations for influenza vaccination among people aged <65 years. These results show that there is a need to increase nurses' awareness of the rationale behind the New Zealand influenza vaccination policy, that this may in turn increase their willingness to recommend influenza vaccine to more eligible younger people.
