Abstract: The study was undertaken as a project for the International Year of the Child. There was a need for information to identify what health care in needed in schools and to contribute to a review of the role of the nurses. Teachers and principals of all primary schools of the Wellington area were surveyed to describe the health care being provided and needed. Recommendations were made for school nurses who would support the health-related teaching by teachers, provide first aid and advice, and take an extended role for family health operating from a clinic in the school.

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

Pybus, M. W., & Thomson, M. (1979). Health awareness and health actions of parents health. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: The parents of 238 children in standard one (7 – 8 year olds) in two localities in New Zealand (one group chosen randomly, the other a census of a small community) were interviewed about health matters. Objectives of the study were:1. To describe parents understanding of the nature of health.2. Their understanding of threats to their health.3. To describe actions they take to promote their own and their children's health.Few respondents describe health as being just the absence of illness: the concept of energy is important in many descriptions of health. Threats to the health of children are seen as coming more from the environment as compared with adults, for whom more threats are seen as having a physiological origin. Only 13% of adults thought that they put a lot of effort into keeping healthy. The underlying rationale is the recognition of the importance of people's own actions in the attainment and maintenance of health

McIntosh(nee Martison), M. J. (1979). The effect of pre-information on clinical inference and nursing actions. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: A study to examine the effects of pre- information ( what a Nurse learns about a patient before they meet) on clinical inference and Nursing actions, in a simulated Nurse- Patient situation. It was hypothesised that the nature of the pre-information will influence the way the patient is perceived and the resulting Nursing actions. The research was conducted in an obstetrical setting. There were 55 subjects within three groups. Two groups comprised student midwives and the third group was of second year comprehensive Nursing students near completion of clinical experience in maternal and child health nursing. A 5 minute videotape sequence of a role played post natal patient was made for use in the research. All subjects were given the same initial pre-information, viewed the videotape and gave written description of what they saw on the videotape and their response ( as the Nurse in the situation). This data provided a base line for each subject. Subject were then given additional pre-information concerning the patient's physical condition, her baby's condition or formed part of the control group ( receiving no additional information) The procedure was repeated. These responses were then compared with the base line for each subject. Responses were coded by means of content analysis. Group data was analysed using multivariate one way analysis of variance graphical display. The results indicated support of the hypothesis that the nature of the pre-information does influence the way in which a Nurse perceives a patient and resulting Nursing actions. Implications of these findings for Nurses are discussed
