  Title Building relationships: A qualitative descriptive study reflective of the day-to-day experiences of one group of preceptors in a provincial hospital in New Zealand Type
  Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Hospitals; Preceptorship; Education; Professional development; Mentoring; Training; Nursing  
  Abstract (up) Research suggests that the experience of being a preceptor can be rewarding, but there are challenges which may impact on their ability to fulfil the preceptorship role. In an effort to understand the experiences of being a preceptor and the factors that impact on that role, a qualitative descriptive study was undertaken in a small provincial hospital in New Zealand. A purposeful sample of five registered nurse preceptors completed semi-structured audio-taped interviews. Seven common categories were developed from the data – willingness to engage, building a relationship, letting go, support, workload, students in the clinical setting and making judgements. The author notes that this research has highlighted that preceptors need prior notice that they are going to be having student nurses so that they can be better prepared; preceptors and student nurses also need to be rostered together for the whole placement to allow a one-on-one relationship to develop. Preceptors would benefit from having a lighter workload during the first few days of preceptoring as then they can spend more time teaching the student. Schools of nursing and hospitals also need to have an ongoing collaborative relationship in planning and supporting the preceptorship program; this would further support preceptors in their role. The lecturer from the school of nursing needs to be contactable and available to both the preceptor and the student to clarify any misunderstandings and as a resource should any problems arise.

  Title A journey: Experienced respiratory nurses working with patients with chronic breathlessness Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Nursing specialties; Nurse-patient relations  
  Abstract (up) Respiratory nursing has, as a core clinical concern, the alleviation of distress and suffering associated with respiratory disease. This research describes the ways in which experienced New Zealand respiratory nurses understand, assess, manage and support patients suffering from chronic breathlessness. It reviews the professional context in which these nurses practice, and examines the experiences and beliefs that have lead them to, and maintain them in, this area of practice. This study has been stimulated by the realisation that the skills, understandings and practice wisdom exhibited by experienced Respiratory Nurses is poorly described in the published research literature. This qualitative, grounded theory research is based upon data gathered from in-depth interviews with six experienced New Zealand respiratory nurses. A constructivist research position is adopted. Analysis of these interviews revealed distinct phases of developing respiratory nurse practice including preparing and entering respiratory nursing practice, comprehension of the phenomena of chronic breathlessness and the effect upon the patient and the seeking of possibilities which may alleviate and modify the debilitating effects of chronic breathlessness. Consistent values and beliefs are identified, which are captured in the concepts of professional caring and the movement towards developing expertise in practice. The unifying concept of journeying is employed to draw together these conceptual elements and develop a substantive model describing the work of experienced respiratory nurses with patients with chronic breathlessness. Implications for practice and the health system, and suggestions for further research, are discussed.

  Title Reflections on knowing, not knowing and being in palliative care nursing Type
  Year 2005 Publication A research paper submitted to the Victoria University of Wellington in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts (Applied) in nursing Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington  
  Volume Issue Pages 57  
  Keywords  
  Abstract (up) Responses to questions from dying people and their families are as individual as each nurse, patient, family member or situation. This is well recognised and an unspoken truth in palliative care practice

This paper explores the subjective nature of knowledge in palliative care generated through capturing moments of practice and subsequent reflections. This demonstrates how the author uses her model of care to open a space that enables the person and their family to find meaning from their experience and articulate what they need at the time.

The author identifies her interest in the paradoxical reality of knowing and not knowing and describes how that paradox contributes to her role in supporting individual?s needs within their realities
