Lord, D. H. (1979). Exploratory study of reasons for voluntary termination of nursing staff at Braemar hospital and training school. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: A study exploring the following hypotheses: 1. That full time Nurses and part time Nurses are satisfied by different things, therefore the two groups will exhibit different reasons for leaving the Hospital. Full time Staff will leave because of lack of satisfiers, part time Staff will leave because of lack of Dis-satisfiers.. 2. The reasons for the psycopaedic assistants leaving will be different from those for Professional Staff as the presence of promotional opportunities and the acceptance of responsibilities do not apply to the non-professional staff. 3. Salary will not be a significant factor for Staff leaving. 4, The lack of job satisfaction has had little to do with staff terminating. 5. That the absence of a School of Nursing has been the reason for a significant number of Staff leaving to Nurse elsewhere

Tuffnell, C. (1987). Giving patient lifting a lift. New Zealand Nursing Journal, 80(4), 10–12.
Abstract: This is an action study where 298 patient lifts were observed and analysed according to environmental patient and nurse activity factors, frequency of different types of lifts were also recorded and Nursing lifting loads estimated. Findings showed lack of planning in preparation for lifts, a tendency for Nurses to perform lifts without help and lifting loads and lift types which put Nurses at increased risk of injury. Suggestions are made for giving patient lifting a lift. These require action at individual nurse and organisational levels
