| Abstract |
When a child lives with a life-threatening illness there is a range of emotions that affect the child, family and people close to the child. This study utilises a narrative approach to explore what the child puts emphasis on in what is important to them as they live with serious illness. The study incorporates the nurse as narrator with the 'narratives' of the children integrated into her reflections to gain a broader understanding. The focus is on listening intently to the spoken needs of children, their story and the meaning they make of their situation when they live with their illness. 'Children' in this study are between the ages of six years to 15 years. The aim of this research is to provide a clear understanding of the lived experience, which may illuminate the needs of the child and what is required throughout the time of illness; therefore informing health professionals of a culture of care that may support these needs. A broader understanding and deeper insight into the complexity of children living with life-threatening illnesses provides a basis for the development of sensitive, humanistic quality nursing care for both the child and his/her family, this then enhances the potential for best practice for children living with a life-threatening illness. |

| Abstract |
Using thematic analysis, this study explored the phenomenon of effective education for critical care nursing practice by asking: What does effective education for critical care nursing practice mean to nurses currently practising in the specialty? Eighty eight critical care nurses from the South Island provided written descriptions of what effective education for critical care nursing practice meant to them. Descriptive statements were analysed to reveal constituents, themes and essences of meaning. Four core themes of personal quality, practice quality, the learning process and learning needs emerged. Appropriateness or relevance for individual learning needs is further identified as an essential theme within the meaning of effective education for critical care nursing practice. Shared experiences of the phenomenon are made explicit and discussed with reference to education and practice development in the specialty. The study results lend support to education that focuses on individual learning needs, and identifies work based learning as a potential strategy for learning and practice development in critical care nursing. |

| Abstract |
Using the life history approach this study investigates the consequences of difference within the context of nursing. Life story interviews were conducted with 26 women nurses of varying racial, cultural and sexual identity backgrounds in the USA and New Zealand.The questions framing the interviews focused on the women's experience of difference and fairness in their lives and specifically within nursing.The creation of life story 'snippets' in the first level of analysis reflected the unique aspects of each woman's story and became the first step in the process of creating a thematic analysis or meta-story. The meta-story that emerged from the juxtaposition of the women's stories was “not fitting in to nursing”.The findings of this study suggest that in spite of the change in location of nursing education and its recent attention to the implications of client diversity, the continued imposition of traditional definitions of 'the nurse' by nursing institutions, renders difference amongst nurses invisible. This limits the ability of nurses to be authentic in their practice and also limits the extent to which they can implement the new policies recognizing difference amongst their client populations |

| Abstract |
Using a qualitative descriptive research design, this study explored nurses' knowledge and views on their talking therapy training and skills in practice. The study examined the use of talking therapies, or specialised interpersonal processes, embodied within the Te Ao Maramatanga: New Zealand College of Mental Health Nurses Inc (2004) Standards of Practice for Mental Health Nurses in New Zealand. A survey questionnaire was sent to 227 registered nurses from a district health hoard mental health service and a sample of eight nurses participated in a semi-structured interview. Content analysis based on the headings “knowledge views, skill acquisition and skill transfer” established the major themes from the data collection processes. The findings confirmed that nurses believe their knowledge and skills in evidence-based talking therapies to be vitally important in mental health nursing practice. Nurses identified that talking therapy training courses needed to be clinically relevant and that some learning strategies were advantageous. The identification of some knowledge gaps for, nurses with limited post graduate experience, and for nurses who currently work in inpatient areas suggests that further consideration must be given to ensure that a cohesive, sustainable approach is ensured for progression of workforce development projects relevant to training in talking therapies for mental health nurses in New Zealand. |
