Title How will transformative primary health care nursing leadership facilitate better health outcomes for Southlanders? Type
Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Leadership; Nursing; Primary health care
Abstract (down) Changes within the New Zealand health system have led to an emphasis on primary health care. The New Zealand government and the Southland District Health Board have identified that nurses can make significant contribution to improving the primary health outcomes for New Zealanders. However, within Southland there exist barriers to nurses influencing health outcomes. A Southland draft Primary Health Care Nursing Strategic Plan 2005 recommended that the employment of a primary health care nursing leader would reduce these barriers and lead to a comprehensive primary health care nursing service. This dissertation argues, using literature, that the employment of a transformative nursing leader, using a facilitative style, would implement changes that would develop a community responsive nursing service, establish a primary health care educational structure and ensure quality nursing care. Successful implementation would occur as the leader facilitates experiential learning within groups and with individuals to review current experiences and implement transformative primary health care nursing changes that improves health for all. The dissertation introduces the background to the changing primary health care environment in New Zealand and to the Southland current situation in chapter one. Chapter two describes the unique features of transformative leadership style and how it is applies to nursing and specifically to Southland's changing primary health care environment. The chapter specifically emphasises the role of and the art of facilitation which is a critical transformative leadership process. Chapter three describes the process of the experiential learning cycle, which the author argues will improve health outcomes, when used by the transformative leader to enable nurses to learn from their experiences and make nursing changes that improve health care. Chapter four addresses the dissertation question by describing how transformative leadership will facilitate the experiential learning process to Southlanders and improve health outcomes, reduce inequalities and increase accessibility through a comprehensive primary health care nursing service.

Title Advancing nursing knowledge: The experience of a nurse working with dying people in a highly remote rural area Type
Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Terminal care; Rural nursing; Rural health services
Abstract (down) By describing and gaining insight into one rural nurse's experience working with dying people in a highly, remote rural area, this project seeks to advance nursing practice. Key findings indicate that, through community partnership and teamwork, nurses can act to assist rural people by: increasing public awareness of health resources; exposing barriers to access; and identifying different health service needs. The author makes a case that some rural nurses may feel insufficiently prepared for rural nursing. To understand death and dying, key ideas from Kuebler-Ross's (1969) framework for dying are examined: denial, fear of dying, spirituality, hope, depression and how to die well. Nurses require a blend of end-of-life and rural nursing postgraduate education and skills, to manage well. Key findings imply that dying people can be helped by: improving function and independence to promote autonomy; encouraging faith, hope, and love within the person's personal concept of spirituality; listening to dying people, to oneself, to one's own reactions, and knowing oneself. Parse's theory (1981) indicates nurses can help rural dying people by the following key factors: encouraging the person to live life to the full while dying; accepting humans cannot be separated from their perspectives, circumstances or environments; focusing on quality of life from the person's perspective: encouraging the person to live life fully while dying; and offering new possibilities. The author goes on to say that Parse's human-universe-health process aids nurses to live their beliefs indicating Parse's theory could guide and advance nursing practice.
