Manning, J. (2007). Skin-to-skin care of the very low birth weight infant: Taking a risk and making it happen. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: Parent-infant skin-to-skin care has become an advocated aspect of care in neonatal intensive care units nationally within New Zealand and internationally. However the implementation of this care by nurses can be limited by a number of factors within the practice environment. This dissertation presents a critical analysis of literature alongside reflection on the author's own practice experience to explore factors that may be constraining the use of skin-to-skin care with the very low birth weight infant in the neonatal intensive care unit. These factors are examined through a lens of risk taking behaviour underpinned by the grounded theory work of Dobos (1992). The concept of risk is explored in order to develop an understanding of why, in the author's view, the practice of skin-to-skin care of very low birth weight infants may have declined in recent years. For neonatal nurses skin-to-skin care of the very low birth weight infant presents challenges related to the environment, physiological stability of the infant and changes over the past 10 years in the clinical management of very low birth weight infants. As progress is made toward the design, development and eventual move to a new unit in Dunedin recommendations pertaining to the change in physical space, the introduction of a structured model for nursing care and implications for nursing practice development in relation to skin-to-skin care are described.

Manning, J. (2006). Building trust with families in neonatal intensive care units. Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand, 12(6), 18–20.
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.

Abstract: Explores, through kaupapa Māori (Māori ideology) research principles, the fundamental concepts guiding ten Māori nurses working in end-of-life care settings. Identifies the concepts of whanaungatanga (establishing connections), manaakitanga (generosity and care for others), and kaitiakitanga (guardianship) as central to the practice of these Māori nurses along with the ethical principles of tika (the right way), pono (honesty) and aroha (generosity of spirit). Describes how these concepts and principles shape how these Māori nurses cared for their Māori patients and whānau, and for themselves. Stresses the need for the health system to better understand the Maori world view on death and dying.

Marcinkowski, K., & McDonald, B. (2006). Changing blood transfusion practice in elective joint arthroplasty: A nursing initiative. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 22(3), 15–21.
Abstract: This study analysed the use of re-infusion drains on 99 consecutive patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty surgery at a large hospital. The primary aim was to ascertain the cost effectiveness of the drains. Secondary aims were to assess safety of the drains, whether or not they reduced the need for allogeneic blood transfusion and whether they decreased the length of stay in hospital. As a control group the records of 99 patients treated without re-infusion were analysed retrospectively. The direct cost of consumables increased for the evaluation period. There was a smaller proportion of allogeneic blood transfusion (27% vs 38%) and a smaller mean number of units transfused (0.92 vs 0.54) in the re-infusion group compared to the control group. Patients benefited directly in that the mean length of stay was also significantly shorter in the re-infusion group. The researchers anticipate more direct cost saving with experience and best practice and conclude that the use of re-infusion drains is a cost effective blood saving method in total knee joint arthroplasty.

Margetts, M., Cuthbertson, S., & Streat, S. J. (1996). Bereavement follow-up – its impact on practice. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: Since 1995 we have provided a bereavement follow-up service but the benefits of this to clinical care have not previously been reported . We reviewed the 1995 results, documentation methods, system design, discussed with reviewers their data collection, interview process and its effect on them and their practice. Next-of-kin of only 99/151 patients ( M87 age 14-88) were contacted 16-149 median 34 days after the death. Sleep disturbance (55/99) were the most common problems. We now give next-of- kin literature including a pamphlet which introduces our service and discusses these problems. Most next-of-kin (77/99) commented favorably on DCCM care, but 16/99 identified inadequate facilities and communication problems as service deficiencies. We have improved facilities (paint, furniture, telephone, drinks machine). We now notify patients general practitioners of every death and bring families back for meetings with staff when necessary. We changed systems of case identification and recording of next-of-kin information. Nurse interviewers (8) identified their needs for improved telephone skills, education about grief and research, debriefing after calls and their need for acknowledgement of participation in this service. Study days now address these issues. Interviewers difficulties with interview content have lead to changes. They suggested peer review of data forms to improve completeness which now occurs. Some found the interview process personally disturbing, but all reported positive changes in their practice with bereaved families.Within two years a bereavement service has led to improvements in facilities, communication, and staff expertise, it is now part of our holistic care

Margetts, M., Cuthbertson, S., & Streat, S. J. (1995). Bereavement follow-up service after fatal critical illness. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: Fatal illness is often short. Communication between patient and family is impaired and how to best meet family needs is unclear. We began a follow-up service to determine current next-of-kins outcomes and remedy service deficiencies. A critical care nurse identified deaths from our data base and completed a structured telephone interview with the next-of-kin. There were 374 admissions from 1/1/95 – 17/5/95, 55 died. Next- of-kin of 52 patients (M29, age 19-88 median 52) were contactable 16-70 (median 33)days later. All (defacto/wives 18, husbands 9, mothers 9, daughters 8, others 8) consented to interview (5 -80, median 15 minutes). Forty-nine had resumed normal home activities and 23/25 workers had returned to work. Thirty-three still had disturbed sleep, three were taking hypnotics. Twenty-four had had contact with their general practitioner because of the death (six were prescribed sedatives or hypnotics). Nineteen had financial problems. Forty-seven described DCCM care positively, 35 specifically (nursing care and compassion 15, communication 8, flexible visitors policy8) but 13 had particular difficulties (communication 4 , waiting 2, facilities 4) and 4 serious non-DCCM issues. Forty-six considered themselves well informed and understood well the sequence of events. Forty-eight identified family and friends as primary support. Three requested information about another agency (counseling), 9 asked us to contact as further relative. A telephone bereavement service is well received by next-of-kin. Most families members resolve their early grief without external agencies but sleep and money are problems. We have improved our facilities and are addressing communication and cultural issues

Maries, V. J. (2004). Chosen moments: A reflective journey illustrating terminally ill patients choosing the moment to die.
Abstract: In this project the author reveals how she is observing and thinking as she cares for people who are dying. She records her reflections and insights and reveals that there is life right up to the moment of death, having observed terminally ill patients choosing the precise moment to die. She describes her observations of these moments by using poetry and stories, and explores the implications for her practice as a result. The author presents her reflections using an individualistic, reflective and exploratory perspective which is informed by the work of nursing scholars. This paper is framed using the metaphors of a journey and a window to indicate the reflective process that the author used to journal her observations in practice over time.
