Abstract  |
Highlights how women challenged the concept of 'medicalised mothering' during the period 1945-2000, and how these views affected the development of the Well Child/Tamariki Ora Health book, or Plunket book. Analyses how the language of the book reflects tensions between competing discourses and knowledge sources among mothers and health professionals. |

Abstract |
High stress and staff turnover in a multi-specialty paediatric area prompted this study that aimed to :1) measure the burnout level of nurses in a multi-specialty paediatric area2) identify and validate causes of stress3) identify new ways of preventing stress on the wardFifty four percent (n=14) of the paediatric nurses completed the questionnaire booklet that included demographic data, the Maslach Burnout Inventory, the Nursing Situations Questionnaire the Hopkins Symptom Checklist-21 the Ways of Coping Checklist and open ended questions about sources of stress and satisfaction at work. Results indicated levelsof burnout and distress comparable with larger studies. Conflict with doctors was the major source of stress followed by workload, inadequate preparation in dealing with the emotional needs of patients and their families and death and dying. Conflict with doctors has not previously been identified as the major source of stress. However workload and death and dying are commonly identified as sources in the literature. Suggestions for further research and the low response rate are discussed |

Abstract |
Health professionals, as well as clients, appear to often miss, ignore or avoid alcohol as a health problem. Changes in role for Nurses as well as changes in concepts of alcoholism, alcohol and alcohol control especially in sociological terms led to this study of Nurse's attitudes to alcohol as a social issue. Aim was to shed light on the adequacy of Nurses to function in the community and in the application of sociologically oriented programs of alcohol control. 44 Student Nurses on the point of entering clinical practise were questioned on 21 attitude items. Their responses were compared to those of 100 respondents selected as comparable demographically from 10,000 New Zealanders surveyed in 1978-79 by A.L.A.C. Differences were found, but no strong profile of distinctive 'nurse' views could be identified with confidence. No real extra concern for alcohol issues could be established giving some doubts about the efficiency of Nurses in the workplace. Nurses did differ in some areas of social viewpoints from the general New Zealand population but further studies are needed to more exactly define dimensions of these differences |

Abstract |
For this study, an anonymous survey was sent to registered nurses in their first year of practice. From the 1169 survey instruments that were distributed, 551 were returned completed (a response rate of 47%). The most common inappropriate behaviour by patients involved verbal threats, verbal sexual harassment, and physical intimidation. There were 22 incidents of assault requiring medical intervention and 21 incidents of participants being stalked by patients. Male graduates and younger nurses were especially vulnerable. Mental health was the service area most at risk. A most distressing incident was described by 123 (22%) of respondents. The level of distress caused by the incident was rated by 68 of the 123 respondents (55%) as moderate or severe. Only half of those who described a most distressing event indicated they had some undergraduate training in protecting against assault or in managing potentially violent incidents. After registration, 45 (37%) indicated they had received such training. The findings of this study indicate priorities for effective prevention programmes. |

Abstract |
Focuses on two broad themes: perceptions and attitudes of general nurses in in-patient hospital settings towards clinical supervision and how they have found such support to be of benefit to themselves or their practice; organisational documentation policies and procedures available to nurses in order to understand their contribution to, and valuing of, clinical supervision. Seeks to discover whether there is evidence of other factors influencing the provision of, or access to, clinical supervision by general nurses, which influences attitudes and perceptions. |

Abstract |
Extensive treatment requirements for patients in I.C.U. frequently result in interruption of their sleep. Sleep interruption can become sleep deprivation with physiological and psychological effects. To determine the amount of sleep patients in the I.C.U. received, a brief study was done in the form of a questionnaire to nursing staff. Noise levels in the I.C.U. were recorded over a period of time. From the study it was concluded the majority of patients were sleep deprived |

Abstract |
Explores whether there is a relationship between staffing and quality indicators in residential care of older people, in both rest homes and continuing-care hospitals. Conducts a longitudinal survey of 18 residential-care rest homes and 16 continuing-care hospitals in the greater Auckland region to explore the relationship between direct-care staffing levels, skill mix and quality indicators. Collects data over a 6-month period on type of staffing, including registered nurses, enrolled nurses, and support workers; quality indicators, including falls, new fractures, pressure ulcers, weight loss, urinary tract infections (UTI), poly-pharmacy or multiple medications, presence of indwelling catheters and use of daily restraints. Uses logistic analysis to analyse the inverse relationship between staffing levels and adverse events, and whether there is an association between staff type and the incidence of the five quality indicators. |
