  Title Expert public health nursing practice: A complex tapestry Type Journal Article
  Year 1999 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 3 Pages 16-27  
  Keywords Public health; Community health nursing; Communication  
  Abstract The research outlined in this paper used Heideggerian phenomenology to examine the phenomenon of expert public health nursing practice within a New Zealand community health setting. Narrative interviews were conducted with eight identified expert practitioners who are currently practising in this speciality area. Data analysis led to the identification and description of themes which were supported by paradigm cases and exemplars. Four key themes were identified which describe the finely tuned recognition and assessment skills demonstrated by these nurses; their ability to form, sustain and close relationships with clients over time; the skilful coaching undertaken with clients; and the way in which they coped with the dark side of their work with integrity and courage.
