Abstract: Explores how current nursing and health-care practices can be designed to facilitate effective type 1 diabetes (T1D) self-management in young adults aged 16-25 years.

Patel, R. (2022). Nurse expertise saves lives through early recognition of patient deterioration. Master's thesis, University of Auckland, Auckland.
Abstract: Explores and identifies factors associated with nurse concern when patient deterioration is recognised in the absence of an emergency activation score such as early warning scoring (EWS) or the physiologically-unstable patient (PUP) tool. Describes the two phases of the multi-site and mixed-methods study: retrospective chart review of 19,326 referrals for emergency assistance; and seven focus group discussions with 29 nurses about what they do when concerned about patient deterioration in the absence of an EWS. Highlights the role of nurse expertise, knowledge and skill in identifying patient deterioration prior to the activation score on an EWS.

Haji Vahabzadeh, A. (2018). Optimal Allocation of Intensive Care Unit nurses to Patient-At-Risk-Team. Doctoral thesis, University of Auckland, Auckland.
Abstract: Explains the need for nurse-led Patient-at-Risk-Teams(PART) to prevent unnecessary ICU admissions. Investigates which nurse allocation policy between PART and ICU would result in the best outcomes for patients and hospitals. Provides econometric models to estimate the impact of critical care nurses on hospital length of stay. Proposes queueing and simulation models to obtain the optimal nurse allocation policy for minimising the ICU mortality rate. Validates proposed models at Middlemore Hospital from 2015 to 2016. Estimates the financial and mortality impact of allocating another nurse to PART per shift.
