Burrow, M., Gilmour, J., & Cook, C. (2018). The information behaviour of health care assistants: a literature review. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 34(3). Retrieved April 27, 2024, from www.nursingpraxis.org
Abstract: Reviews existing research literature to examine health-care assistants'(HCA) and other paid caregivers' information-seeking behaviour. e.g. identifying a need for information; and seeking, avoiding or sharing information. Identifies four social contexts for the behaviour: home health-care, residential dementia care, nursing homes, and acute hospital environments. Garners this data to support registered nurses (RN) who delegate direct care to a growing body of unregistered health-care assistants. Highlights the influence that situational factors and social contexts have on information behaviours.

Abstract: Reports research that explores the experience of raising a child with severe allergies in NZ and the potential for an anaphylactic reaction. Utilises an auto-ethnographic research approach to provide details of managing the diagnosis and day to day life of a child with severe allergies through narratives written from the perspective of the child's mother who is also a nurse. Undertakes a thematic analysis of the auto-ethnographic narrative, producing four emergent themes: being the mother; being a nurse; who is supporting us?; and desperately seeking knowledge.

Green, C. (2018). Medication simulation: enhancing nursing students' clinical environmental awareness through self-care and promotion of patient safety. Whitireia Nursing and Health Journal, (25), 37–51.
Abstract: Undertakes an evidence-based practice pilot project to examine the effectiveness of simulation-based learning in teaching nursing students to become aware of the role of stress, anxiety and distraction in medication errors. Stresses the importance of medication-error prevention at the pre-licensure level, by increasing awareness of patient safety culture. Notes the need to teach nursing students self-awareness of the distractions and stresses within the clinical environment and therefore the need for self-care to avoid medication error.

Abstract: Explains the need for nurse-led Patient-at-Risk-Teams(PART) to prevent unnecessary ICU admissions. Investigates which nurse allocation policy between PART and ICU would result in the best outcomes for patients and hospitals. Provides econometric models to estimate the impact of critical care nurses on hospital length of stay. Proposes queueing and simulation models to obtain the optimal nurse allocation policy for minimising the ICU mortality rate. Validates proposed models at Middlemore Hospital from 2015 to 2016. Estimates the financial and mortality impact of allocating another nurse to PART per shift.

Abstract: Examines the mobility experiences and needs of morbidly-obese patients before and during hospital admission. Undertakes semi-structured interviews with seven morbidly obese patients. Identifies two categories of mobility problems: 'compromised pre-existing mobility', with a subcategory of 'accessing services prior to admission' and 'mobilisation difficulties during hospitalisation', with a subcategory of 'dissonance between dependency and need for assistance'. Recommends bariatric-care pathways for the morbidly-obese patient.
