Marlow, S. A. (2007). A voyage of grief and beauty: A phenomenological study of the experience of supporting a family member with an intellectual disability who is dying in a community setting. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: This thesis reports on a research project which explored the phenomenon of supporting a family member with an intellectual disability who is dying in a community setting. The research purpose was to enhance professional understanding of what it is like to encounter this lived experience. Literature back-grounding the phenomenon and philosophical and theoretical constructs embraced by the researcher are outlined. An explanation is given of the hermeneutic phenomenological methodology which was utilised. The main method of collecting research data was through conducting five open-ended interviews with participants who had supported a dying child or sibling. The participants' family members were aged between 3 and 52 years old at the time of their deaths. Their specific intellectual disabilities included Down syndrome, a metabolically induced disorder and a non-identified syndrome. The family members had died from a variety of terminal illnesses and in a range of community settings. Interpretive analysis was achieved through reflexive journaling and hermeneutic intuiting of interview transcripts and field notes. The research findings have been subjected to rhetorical consideration in the light of further literature and poetic texts. Research findings are expressed metaphorically as groups of boulders representing themes and sub-themes. Three major themes were revealed as having impacted on the river voyage shared by participants and their dying family members. These were Interlocked Companionship, Search for New Balance and Permeable Interaction. An assessment is offered of the strengths and weaknesses of the research project. The thesis concludes with recommendations for reflective practice, evidence based practice, service development and areas of future research.

Marshall, K. (2007). Enteral nutrition within 72 hours after spinal chord injury: Complexities and complications. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: Good nutrition is essential following acute spinal cord injury. Poor nutrition can lead to the deleterious effects of protein-calorie induced hypermetabolism and poor functional and rehabilitation outcomes. Nutritional management for patients with acute cervical or high thoracic spinal cord injury admitted to the Canterbury District Health Board's Burwood Spinal Unit and Christchurch Hospital's Department of Intensive Care Medicine (CHDICM) differ. The Burwood Spinal Unit has a delayed approach to nutritional management in contrast to the implementation of early enteral feeding by CHDICM. This prompted a literature review to critically consider the evidence underpinning clinical practice in this field. Literature revealed that nutritional management in the first 72 hours after spinal cord injury is a complex process. The complexities of when to commence, the method of delivering, and the target dose of enteral nutrition in the first 72 hours after spinal cord injury are due to the perceived risk of a spinal ileus and the ensuing, such as adverse effects on abdominal and respiratory function, resulting from enteral feeding intolerance. Literature revealed that delayed nutrition is largely based on expert opinion, while early enteral feeding has limited but stronger scientific research evidence. Nevertheless, it is desirable to use the best evidence currently available to develop, implement and evaluate an evidence-based, protocol driven, clinical pathway for nutritional management of patients within 72 hours of an acute cervical or high thoracic SCI. The author concludes that to ensure an acute spinal cord injury clinical pathway is based on scientific evidence, prospective, multi-centre, randomised controlled trials are needed to substantiate early enteral feeding and identification of the degree of and risk of complications from spinal ileus after acute cervical or high thoracic spinal cord injury.

Martin, H. E. (2006). Marking space: A literary psychogeography of the practice of a nurse artist. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: The author suggests that the thesis as a production of disciplined work presented in a creative style is congruent with performance and presentation best practice in community arts. As a practising nurse artist the author describes creating spaces of alternate ordering within the mental health field environment. “I also inhabit the marginal space of the artist working in hospital environments. This Other Place neither condones nor denies the existence of the mental health field environment as it is revealed. Yet, it seeks to find an alternative to the power and subjectivity of the [social] control of people with an experience of mental illness that inhabit this place both voluntarily and involuntarily. I have used a variety of texts to explore the experience and concept of Otherness. The poems are intended to take you, as a reader where you could not perhaps emotionally and physically go, or might have never envisaged going. They also allow me as the author to more fully describe the Otherness of place that is neither the consumer story nor the nurse's notation, but somewhere alternately ordered to these two spaces. Drawing on the heuristic research approaches of Moustakas and literary psychogeography , particularly the work of Guy Debord, this thesis creates the space to explore the possibilities of resistance and change and the emergence of the identity of the nurse artist within the mental health field environment”.

Abstract: This study investigated the degree of compliance and reasons for non-compliance with chemoprophylactic Rifampicin medication among 103 close contacts of memingococcal disease in the greater Auckland region during the period July to September 1996. The study showed a high degree of compliance among close contacts, with 96.1% taking Rifampicin as prescribed. Reasons for compliance were related to the contacts ' perceptions of susceptibility to the illness, the severity of the disease, and the benefits of medical intervention. The contacts found the service provided by the public health staff ws sufficient, and the information provided was valuable

Mason, B. (2002). An analysis of the role of the practice nurse in primary health care, 2000/2001. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: In 1999 primary health care in New Zealand was in the process of change from the current personal health care model, which focuses on general practitioner based care, to a population and community based health care programme. Carryer, Dignam, Horsburgh, Hughes and Martin (1999) submitted a report to the National Health Commission entitled “Locating Nursing in Primary Health Care”. This report envisaged that nurses in primary health care would be part of interdisciplinary teams, act autonomously and undertake community consultation and education. The submission suggested that nurses, currently working in primary health care, were alraedy prepared and able to move across into the new form of primary health care, without further education or training.

Matheson, S. (2002). Psychiatric/mental health nursing: Positioning undergraduate education. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: In this paper, the critique of the mental health component of comprehensive nursing education and the questions that it raises are explored from historical, structural and ideological perspectives. In order to locate the past and highlight its significance to where psychiatric/mental health nurses find themselves today some of the history of the asylum system and the development of psychiatric nursing in New Zealand within these structures are presented. Ideological changes to the way mental health was thought about, and responded to, have had considerable impact on where psychiatric nurses practiced, how they practised and what they were named. This created the need for a different kind of nurse and has led to changes in the education of nurses. The structural influences on the training and education of nurses are identified through relevant reports and their recommendations and significance in relation to psychiatric/mental health nursing are examined. Issues deriving from the critique of undergraduate psychiatric/mental health nursing education highlight the urgent nature of the crisis and draw out the multiple and competing discourses that inform the education of nurses. In acknowledging that the crisis can be viewed from multiple perspectives the need for responses from multiple levels involving the Nursing Council of New Zealand, the Ministry of Health, the Mental Health Commission and nurses in education and practice are recommended.
