Abstract: Aims to explore the strategies employed for pressure-injury prevention in two residential aged care facilities in NZ. Investigates how pressure injuries are managed from the perspective of Clinical Managers (CMs), Registered Nurses (RNs) and Health Care Assistants (HCAs). Analyses facility policies and guidelines for pressure injury prevention and management and identifies barriers and facilitators of injury prevention.

Abstract: Identifies factors affecting pressure injury prevention in aged residential care. Interviews 10 staff from two aged care facilities, along with relevant policy and practice documents. Analyses data using triangulation and pattern matching to pinpoint three themes: staffing; leadership, teamwork, and communication; and assessment and early intervention. Finds a correlation between difficult work conditions with high-dependency patients and complex care needs, and prevalence of pressure injuries.

Hernandez, M., King, A., & Stewart, L. (2019). Catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention and nurses' checklist documentation of their indwelling catheter management practices. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 35(1).
Abstract: Investigates nurses' catheter management practices, by means of an audit, as documented in a newly-introduced self-administered indwelling catheter-management checklist incorporating four components of catheter care in a catheter-associated urinary tract infection (CAUTI) prevention bundle. Identifies these components of the bundle of care as: minimisation of inappropriate catheter use, aseptic insertion of catheters, adherence to catheter maintenance guidelines, and ongoing review and evaluation of catheter necessity. Shows that implementation of care components decreases bacteriuria rates and CAUTI when used together in standardised clinical checklists and performed collectively by nurses. Employs a quantitative research design as part of a mixed-methods study conducted at two surgical wards in a public hospital in Auckland where 50 nurses completed 175 checklists.
