Abstract |
A pilot study to determine the effectiveness of the assessment tool as a data collection device was crucial to the effectiveness of the major study. The pilot sample consisted of 10 patients who participated in the assessment phase of the Nursing process. Patients complied with therapeutic objectives to control urinary incontinence when they participated in the assessment phase and when 24 hour Nursing support is available. The removal of this support ( within the Hospital environment) may be integral to long term compliance |

Abstract |
An apparent increase in exit- site infections of intra peritoneal catheters during the initial post Op. period has been observed. The aim of the study was to ascertain a more appropriate method of exit site care and thus minimise infection. A total of 21 patients voluntarily participated in two randomly divided groups. Group 1. did not experience exit site infection during 1-7. This dressing method was particularly successful with high risk patients |

Abstract |
The author traces the development of the nurse practitioner role in New Zealand, which was finally introduced in 2001. It traces the key events, from early debates on the issue, the influence of the Centre for Rural Health, and a series of government investigations into nursing which noted the untapped potential of the nursing workforce and the lack of ongoing clinical career pathways. Barriers to rural nurses becoming endorsed as primary health care nurse practitioners are examined, and some of the solutions to this issue are explored. Relationships between nurse practitioners and the local general practitioners, and community resistance are areas that need management. Education is seen as a key response to many of these issues. |

Abstract |
When the New Zealand Nursing Council introduced the nurse practitioner as a new level of nurse in 2001, the opportunity arose for the introduction of primary health care nurse practitioners into the rural practice arena in this country. This dissertation explores the influences on the development of rural nursing in the last decade in New Zealand including the role of the Centre for Rural Health in advancing rural nursing education, as well as the impact the shortage of health professionals in rural New Zealand has had on the development of the rural primary health care nurse practitioner concept. For pioneering primary health care nurse practitioner roles to be successfully implemented in rural communities in New Zealand, several challenges need to be faced; the creation of roles and employment opportunities, community acceptance of the role, medical and nursing acceptance of the role and the establishment of independent nurse prescribing within the constraints imposed by current legislation. The dissertation explores the current literature in an attempt to offer solutions to the identified challenges. With the creation of primary health care nurse practitioner roles and the establishment and acceptance of these roles in rural communities, a new mode of health service delivery in rural New Zealand will begin. |

Abstract |
Huarahi whakatu describes a pathway for recognising the expertise of nurses working in kaupapa Maori mental health services and recommends a professional development programme that can lead to advancement along the pathway. An emphasis on dual competencies – cultural and clinical – underlies the rationale for regarding kaupapa Maori mental health nursing as a sub-specialty. Eight levels of cultural competencies and twelve levels of clinical competencies are used to differentiate career stages and it is recommended that movement from one level to another should be matched by increased remuneration. The report also contains a recommended professional development programme to support the operationalisation of the career pathway. |

Abstract |
This paper explores the relationship between evidence, decision tools, and the effectiveness of the nursing contribution to health services. It examines a continuum of decision-making within the international trend of the Effectiveness Movement, drawing on international literature and local experience. It draws on the concept of explicit evidence-based decision-making, the guideline development movement as exemplified through the New Zealand Guidelines Group, information technology in decision support, and the challenges of an evidential approach to nursing. This article is based on a paper given at 'The Pride and Passion of Professional Nursing Practice' College of Nurses' Aotearoa (NZ) Conference, Rotorua, 8-9 October 1998. |

Abstract |
Practice development, situated at the nurse-patient interface, is a crucial aspect of professional development as a whole. The Nursing Development Unit (NDU) is one model of structured clinical practice development. NDU have their origin in a desire to provide the best possible care for patient through the support and development of autonomous therapeutic nurses. All possible sources of NDU-related literature from 1983-1999 were reviewed to determine the effectiveness of the NDU model. The purpose of the research was to establish the role of the parent organisation in supporting the ongoing viability of NDU; to describe the key processes and activities of NDU that are instrumental in the development of nursing practice; to clarify the role of the NDU in contributing to improved patient outcome; and finally to identify the critical indicator of successful NDUs for their application in the New Zealand context. The study found that British nursing journals have played a large part in promoting the NDU model. The pioneering units were given positive coverage and this has by and large continued. Accreditation systems have been important in maintaining standards and providing a generic framework for implementation. The trend is now towards internal funding from the parent organisation. The review identified a number of key features for the successful establishment of NDUs. NDUs appear to have under emphasised the development of socio-political acumen in the nursing staff. However, the NDU does offer a model for the development of confident, assertive, autonomous professionals. The NDU model values nursing as professional practice. The author concludes that the NDU model has stood the test of time, and demonstrated the ability to be at the vanguard of contemporary practice development. The model is flexible and its potential is maximised when it is tailored to meet the need of the parent organisation. The model has been successfully established in Australia, and has the potential to be adapted and refined for the New Zealand context. |

Abstract |
This paper reports on a study to explore how nurses in a secondary care environment understand medication administration safety and the factors that contribute to, or undermine, safe practice during this process. Data were collected in 2005 using three focus groups of nurses that formed part of a larger study examining organisational safety and medication administration from a nursing perspective. A narrative approach was employed to analyse the transcripts. Participants had good understandings of organisational culture in relation to medication safety and recognised the importance of effective multi-disciplinary teams in maintaining a safe environment for patients. Despite this, they acknowledged that not all systems work well, and offered a variety of ways to improve current medication practices. These findings highlight the meaningful contribution nurses can make to patient safety and emphasise the importance of including the nursing voice in any quality improvement initiatives. |

Abstract |
This literature review focused on research that primarily addresses the issues related to medications that arise in tertiary care facilities. It finds that investigations into medication errors have primarily focused on the role of nurses, and tended to identify the nurse as deliverer of unsafe practice. Over the past few years a shift in how medication errors are understood has led to the identification of systems-related issues that contribute to medication errors. The author suggests that nurses should contribute to initiatives such as the 'Quality and Safe Use of Medicines' and develop nursing led research, to address some of the safety related issues with a view to enhancing patient safety. |
