Abstract |
Mothers, whose children had undergone a liver transplant more than one year ago at time of interview and whose children were outpatients of Starship Children's Hospital, were invited to participate in this research. A Heideggerian hermeneutic phenomenological approach, informed by the work of van Manen (1990) was used. Three mothers of children who had received a liver transplant were interviewed to reveal the meanings of the phenomenon – what is the meaning of lived experience of mothers in caring for their child who has undergone and recovered following liver transplantation? Little previous study regarding mothers' lived experience of caring for their child, who had recovered from a liver transplant, was found in the literature. The emerging themes were punctuated with stress being a consistent feature. Utilising Ruddick's (1983) concepts of maternal thinking, the emerging themes were merged within the three interests governing maternal practice; preservation, growth and acceptability. The absolute capacity for attentive love draws the experience together. An essential theme identified out of the analysis was the concept of survival relating to the unique features of liver transplantation and the consequences of liver rejection and failure. The findings contribute to the understanding of the phenomenon, emphasising the need for good support systems for families of children who have undergone transplantation; assistance in the establishment of maternal coping strategies and regular feedback on the children's progress acknowledging the role and care provided by mothers. |

Abstract |
In this paper, literature related to childhood obesity in New Zealand and internationally is explored to identify current issues, and the implications for nurses in community based child health practice are discussed. Themes that emerged from the literature relate to the measurement of obesity, links between childhood and adult obesity and issues for families. Studies that investigated maternal perceptions of childhood obesity found that mothers identified their child as being overweight or obese only when it imposed limitations on physical activity or when the children were teased rather than by referring to individual growth graphs. The implications for nursing in the area of child health practice are discussed. Understanding of the complex and emotive issues surrounding childhood obesity is required when devising health promotion strategies. |

Abstract |
In this article the authors introduce an alternative way that nurses can be with families, using a relational process that can enhance nurses' responses when working with those transitioning to parenthood. Seasons of Life, a framework adapted from the Maori health model He Korowai Oranga, emerged from practice to offer a compassionate and encouraging stance, while at the same time respecting each family's realities and wishes. The model allows the exploration of the transition to parenthood within a wellness model, and takes a strengths-based approach to emotional distress. This approach provides a sense of “normality”, rather than of pathology, for the emotions experienced by new parents. The specific issues men may face are discussed, where despite recent culture change that allows men a more nurturing parental role, there is still no clear understanding of how men articulate their sense of pleasure or distress at this time. Practitioners are encouraged to examine their own assumptions, values and beliefs, and utilise tools such as reflective listening, respect, insight and understanding. The most significant aspect of relationship between nurse and parents is not the outcome, but how nurses engage with families. Examples from practice will demonstrate some of the differing ways this relational process framework has been effective. |

Abstract |
In 2004, Plunket nurses from eight areas around New Zealand participated in collecting data for a research project on health needs assessment practices. This project aimed to examine risk factors identified by Plunket nurses, what areas of health need considered to be priorities; grading of health needs; and how closely the results of health need assessment aligned with the individual clients' deprivation score. The researchers examine the assessment of health needs against the use of the Deprivation Index, which indicates a specific population in a specific area, as a funding model. This study appeared to show there are two distinct groups of clients assessed as high needs: those with risk factors such as family violence and severe parental mental illness, and who may live in an area of 1-7 deprivation; and those with multiple risk factors which include poverty, low education, and/or reluctance to access services and support, and who usually live in dep 8-10 areas. This research supports the anecdotal evidence that significant health needs exist outside the lower deprivation areas. |

Abstract |
Examines the experiences of parents and nurses in caring for a child following invasive Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis (SUFE) repair. Conducts semi-structured interviews with parents of five children, predominantly Māori or Pacific, who underwent SUFE repair, and five paediatric nurses caring for the children and their families in the hospital ward. Offers two perspectives of the journey for these parents following such an injury, from the child's hospitalisation to caring for these children once they are home. Presents and contrasts these perspectives, revealing insights into the parents' ongoing need for support, information and planning for care, and nurses' efforts to meet these needs. Presents implications for nursing practice. |

Abstract |
Establishing a trusting relationship is a key therapeutic intervention for nurses working with families of hospitalised children. This article is an exploration of the definition of trust. Specifically, it considers how parents come to trust (or not) nurses in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) helps to reveal the meaning of parent-nurse trust and how this affects nursing practice. Understanding and meeting parental needs is important in developing and sustaining trust. The medical model of care often dominates in NICU. This is a deficit model that focuses on illness and treatment. However, the use of a nursing framework, such as developmentally supportive family centred care, focuses on recognising and building on the strengths of the family, by fostering trust to equip the family with the capacity to manage their infant's health care. |
