  Title A literature review of competence in relation to speciality nursing Type
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal (up) University of Otago Library, NZNO Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Paediatric nursing; Nursing specialties; Professional competence; Nursing; Education  
  Abstract The original aim of the study was to find out through a questionnaire what child health/paediatric nurses in New Zealand/Aotearoa saw as their needs for post-registration education. Nurses were completing courses in the United Kingdom and returning to New Zealand/Aotearoa and realising that their nursing capabilities had improved. They became senior nurses with education responsibilities and exhibited political leadership among their colleagues in the field of child health/paediatric nursing. They were becoming increasingly concerned at the lack of any clinical courses in the specialty of child health/paediatric nursing to promote an appropriate standard of practice. It was intended that a research project about post-registration child health/paediatric education would assist concerned nurses to develop a programme. The time needed for such a project did not fit with a limited research paper. It was decided to reduce the project to a review of the literature on competence in nursing, with some comment on the specialty of child health/paediatric nursing. In order for nurses to find what they need to learn and know, an understanding of competence in nursing practice is required. Competence is defined as the ability of the nurse to carry out specific work in a designated area at a predetermined standard. Issues around competence, defining a scope of practice, development and assessment of competence, and regulation of nursing, are part of the context in which accountability for the practice of nurses sits.

  Title A postmodern/poststructural exploration of the discursive formation of professional nursing in New Zealand 1840 – 2000 Type
  Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal (up) Victoria University Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords History of nursing; Careers in nursing; Nursing philosophy  
  Abstract This study examines the discursive formation of professional nursing in one country, as revealed by the history of nursing in New Zealand. Michel Foucault's approach to historical research signifies a different level of analysis from conventional approaches, focusing not on the history of ideas but on an understanding of the present, a history of the present. A genealogical method derived from Foucauldian poststructuralism reveals how different understandings of nursing have occurred and have governed nursing practices and scholarship in different historical contexts. The archaeological investigation in this study reveals two moments of epistemic transformation, that is, two intervals of mutation and discontinuity. The Nightingale era in the 1880s precipitated the first epistemic shift – premodernism to modernism. The transfer of nursing education from hospital based training to the tertiary education sector, followed by the introduction of the baccalaureate degree, precipitated the second epistemic shift in the 1990s, the advent of postmodernism. Encompassing these two epistemes, six historical contexts are identified, where significant disruptions to the nursing discourses overturned previously held assumptions about what constituted a nurse. Each historical context is identified by specific discursive constructs. The first is colonial caring, the second the Nightingale ethos and the third heroic, disciplined obedience. In the fourth context, nursing is framed by, and within, discourses of skilled, humanistic caring, in the fifth, scientific, task focused managerialism, and in the 1990s, the sixth context, by multiple realities in an age of uncertainty.

  Title Caring for the dying adolescent: The lived experience of four mothers Type
  Year 1999 Publication Abbreviated Journal (up) Victoria University of Technology Library, NZNO Li  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The aim of this thesis is to present a phenomenological exploration of the experiences of four woman who have had an adolescent child die of cancer. Using the method of hermeneutic phenomenology, as described by van Mann (1984,1990) the study drew on the stories of four woman. From their stories eight emerging themes became apparent.The analysis of the themes is described under the following headings:- wanting to protect; wanting to be with; maintaining normality; feeling positive and hopeful; facing finality; realizing that death was imminent; coping with the common reality; and interacting with health professionals.Further interpretation of the emerging themes revealed “hope expectations” as the phenomenon of concern that captures these mothers' experiences. The hope expectation phenomenon reveals how the mothers coped with adversity, differing hope expectations in the common reality, oscillating hope expectations throughout the journey and hope expectations inspired by the health professionals.The outcome of this work is to provide professional, especially nurses, with insight and knowledge of the maternal experience of caring for the dying adolescent. It is hoped this research will contribute to the body of nursing knowledge and influence the care of parents who experience the trauma of caring for their dying adolescent child
