Sutherland, F. R. Sleep in the intensive care unit.
Abstract: Extensive treatment requirements for patients in I.C.U. frequently result in interruption of their sleep. Sleep interruption can become sleep deprivation with physiological and psychological effects. To determine the amount of sleep patients in the I.C.U. received, a brief study was done in the form of a questionnaire to nursing staff. Noise levels in the I.C.U. were recorded over a period of time. From the study it was concluded the majority of patients were sleep deprived

Kapoor, S. D. (1980). Smoking and health: an analysis of policymaking structure and process within the Department of Health concerned with the issue of smoking and health. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: An analysis of policy making structure and process within the department of Health concerned with the issue of smoking and health. This paper deals with an important area of public policy both in terms of process and substance. It attempts to identify how policy is made in New Zealand. How policy is determined by the elected representative of the people and how far policy is made by the permanent state employees. The way political power is brought to bear in policy implementation is examined, as is the question: What level of policy research and analysis on smoking and health is affected in New Zealand? Attention is directed towards complex ideas of participation, representation and minority rights as well as to democratic theory in relation to cause and influence of conflict, public opinion formation, interest group influence and public policy making

Crisp, B. G. (1985). Staff levels in a long term ward – are they adequate? New Zealand Nursing Journal, 78(11), 12–15.
Abstract: In this article, the author will discuss the way in which the task of finding out whether staff levels were adequate in a long term ward was approached. Figures were collated using a patient dependency rating (described below) in use at the time of the article, estimated nursing hours per patient and staff numbers per day; the 3 sets of figures were kept over a 28 day period. The results gained were compared to results from articles and reports perused by the author and conclusions reached as to whether the staff levels were adequate or not. Following this, implications of lack of staff and possible solutions were discussed

Jones, M. (1985). The complexities of post operative pain management and a study of the effectiveness of continuous intravenous narcotic infusion pumps as a means of pain relief in the first 48 hours post operatively. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: The purpose of this paper was to observe the effectiveness of continuous intravenous narcotic infusions as a means of pain relief in the first 48 hours post operatively. 12 patients who had experienced major thoracic or abdominal surgery participated in the study. Pain was assessed at rest and on activity on visual analogues at 5 specific times daily for up to 48 hours post operatively. Data was also collected from a structured interview within the first 48 hours and a retrospective interview when the infusion was discontinued. Results indicated- 1. Very little correlation of changes in pain relief dose to the assessment of pain intensity. 2. Documentation and assessment was not always thoroughly completed. 3. Inadequate treatment of pain post operatively was evident especially on activity. It should be emphasised that pain management could be improved through a focus in interdisciplinary consultation, continuing in service education on pain management and accountability in procedure.
