Abstract |
Reports on a local multi-component initiative to improve local Human Papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination coverage among Maori male students aged 13-17 years in a rural location in Aotearoa New Zealand. Backgrounds the initiative co-designed by the rural health nurse from a community clinic of the Hauora (Maori health provider) and the principal of the local area school, in order to improve health literacy and provide an environment to support student consent to vaccination. Undertakes an evaluation of the initiative in 2018, comprising 10 key informant interviews and a group discussion with eight male students. Identifies the factors associated with the success of the initiative. |

Abstract |
This paper explores the benefits of using education as one means to advance palliative care competence for nurses. A literature search was conducted revealing numerous educational initiatives and approaches have been developed to improve palliative care. Benefits include improved nursing knowledge, confidence and competence which directly correlate with improved patient outcomes. Accompanying the shift of palliative care from hospices to varied health care providers globally, are disparities in care provision. The literature suggests that reasons for such disparities include insufficient specialised palliative care knowledge and skills of nurses to effectively deliver this care within generalist health settings and lack of information for caregivers. In response, approaches aimed at improving palliative care include reviewing, redefining and implementing nursing roles, education courses, and theoretical frameworks to inform practice and improve outcomes. This paper focuses on the benefits of offering tailored palliative care education in work settings to improve patient care. One entrepreneurial education initiative aimed at advancing palliative nursing and which is currently being implemented in aged care contexts is shared. Careful strategic planning and working more collaboratively between all stakeholders, is strongly recommended in order to manage current and future challenges. Advancing palliative nursing care using appropriate education is achievable and beneficial but is fraught with complexities. |

Abstract |
As the clinical consequences of power failure in intensive care are seldom documented we reviewed the effects of a power failure on patient care, outcomes and the adequacy of our disaster plan. We reviewed clinical records of all ten patients in our department during a 20-minute total hospital power failure, determined the impact of the failure on the therapies being given, and the costs of failed equipment. We assessed the departments disaster plan and identified the causes of the power failure.Nine patients were intubated; six ventilated (one receiving nitric oxide) and three receiving continuous positive airway pressure. Two patients were ventilated by Servo 300,? which continued on batteries, the other four patients were ventilated manually. Six patients were receiving nine inotrope infusions through IMED Gemini,? (battery life 30 minutes). One patient was receiving high volume ultrafiltration using a Gambro? haemodialysis system, which failed. Blood flow to prevent clotting was maintained by turning the roller pump manually. All networked monitoring (SpaceLabs?) failed and three haemodynamically unstable patients were monitored by transport monitors (SpaceLabs Scout?). No patient suffered any ill effect. Failed electronic circuits cost $NZ11,724. The disaster plan was implemented and functioned well. The aged cables supplying Auckland Central failed during an El Nino summer. The hospital generators, supplying power to the city grid, failed to switch over to the hospital. During power failure infusion pumps should be only for inotropes. We now have external 12-volt battery backup. With good pre-planning, safe intensive care continued during a short power failure |

Abstract |
In this thesis the nursing roles in respect of tuberculosis in New Zealand from 1928 to 1966 are identified, and then examined by contextualising them in relation to the changing social, political, demographic, scientific and technological environments in which the treatment and prevention of tuberculosis took place. The history of the various institutions is described in order to show some of the circumstances that led to the evolution of the roles of dispensary nurse, district nurse, school nurse, public health nurse, sanatorium nurse, and hospital nurse. 1928 to 1966 covers a sufficiently long period of intensive activity and change in the detection, treatment and research of pulmonary tuberculosis in New Zealand, to enable comparisons between nursing roles to be made. It was found that nurses had an individualised approach to their work. This was defined by the physical environments within which they worked, whether it was a hospital, sanatorium, dispensary, school or in a patient's home. Also, the medical treatments advocated and implemented by the medical practitioners, the rules and regulations which governed the various work areas, and the availability of staff, funds, facilities and resources all had an impact upon how nurses were able to work and how their respective roles developed. In addition, some of the factors which contributed to nurses getting tuberculosis and the initiatives to improve the nurse's conditions of work are examined, because these had an impact on the performance of the nurse's work and evolution of her role. Apart from practical nursing care, nurses also had a role in the on-going inspection, monitoring, notification, emotional support of patients and families, morale boosting and education. Each role had these components. The differences were in the time and emphasis given to each. |

Abstract |
This study provides insight into the experience of being an ICU nurse and relative of a critically ill patient. Analysis of data from interviews of four ICU nurses who had experienced having a family member admitted to ICU brought up several themes. These included: a nurses' nightmare, knowing and not knowing, feeling torn, and gaining deeper insight and new meaning. Recommendations for organisational support for ICU nurse/relatives, and education for staff are made, based on the findings. |

Abstract |
A clinical audit was undertaken to assess the diagnostic skills of the nurse colposcopist measuring colposcopy: histology: cytology correlation. At National Women's Health the first New Zealand nurse colposcopist training programme was developed in 2000. A retrospective audit of the colposcopy clinical records was performed during the nurse's training programme between July 2000 and March 2002. An 82% (82/100) histology: cytology: colposcopy correlation was achieved by the nurse in the third phase of her training programme. The results are comparable with other reported studies involving medical and nurse colposcopists. Expertise in colposcopy examination can be incorporated into the broader role of a Nurse Practitioner working in the area of women's health. |

Abstract |
Accent on Nursing services is on service to patients with job satisfaction of employees placed in a less worthy positions. Indices of low levels of Nurses' job satisfaction in some areas of our Hospitals in the Auckland Hospital Board indicate the established relationships between performance and morale is not always transformed into supervisory and management practise in the work situation. As recognition of job satisfaction needs is a prime factor in change, the research study is designed to measure through questionnaire and scaling methods the effect of a one week management training course on the attitudes of superiors to the job satisfaction needs of their subordinates |

Abstract |
The introduction of nurse practitioner registration into New Zealand in 2001 was heralded as a move that would open up a wealth of opportunities for registered nurses to extend their practice into more independent roles and to provide a client-centred health service. It was also seen as a way to retain experienced registered nurses in the clinical practice area by providing a credible clinical career pathway. If nurse practitioner's are to meet these expectations, then, the author suggests, it is important to understand the processes that encourage or discourage nurses from advancing their practice. One of the early scopes of practice to be introduced was nurse practitioner with an endorsement in aged care scope of practice. Grounded theory was the method used to generate an explanation of how registered nurses working in aged care were preparing for the introduction of nurse practitioner roles. An analysis of early data highlighted codes around registered nurses in aged care extending and advancing their practice rather than preparing specifically for the nurse practitioner role. The research question for this study was: 'How are registered nurses in aged care advancing their nursing practice?' Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from ten experienced registered nurses working in aged care clinical practice settings ranging from secondary hospital facilities, to community settings and residential care villages. Dimensional analysis of the data eventually generated three major conceptual categories: 'ownership of nursing', 'extending practice', and 'moving out of a comfort zone'. Of these, 'ownership of nursing' was identified as the core construct that linked the other categories together. The substantive theory that explains how registered nurses in aged care advance their clinical practice is 'developing autonomous ownership'. Nurses who develop autonomous ownership of nursing are more likely than other nurses to move out of a current comfort zone and advance their practice into more independent roles that suit their autonomous ownership of nursing. This study identified important contextual factors and conditions that support the development of an autonomous ownership of nursing and that subsequently facilitate advancing nursing practice. These include creating supportive environments, organisational commitment to advanced nursing practice roles, visible nursing leadership, congruence between organisational and nursing philosophies, interdisciplinary collaboration and participating in postgraduate education. The author suggests that the significance of this study is that it generated a theory about the processes that encourage or discourage nurses from preparing for, and progressing into, advanced nursing practice roles such as nurse practitioner. |

Abstract |
Practice nurses work in general practice providing an increasingly autonomous service to consumers of primary health care. Autoethnography is a biographical method of research that describes personal experience in terms of society and culture and is the theoretical foundation of personal narratives and storytelling. Throughout history, stories have been used as a means of communicating and learning which with reflection, allows new meanings to develop for all participants. This autoethnography is the author's story of practice nursing and it discusses her experience of being a practice nurse over the past 12 years. It is autobiographical and reflexive and charts the changes that she has found in her practice during this time. Some of these changes have arisen from influences personal to her practice, others because of influences on practice nursing in general, but all are intertwined. Education and professional development, leadership and government policies are identified as the major influences on her practice. A discussion of these influences enables recognition of the changes, advancement and expansion of services thereby allowing others to share the experience and find meaning within it. |

Invites pre-registration nursing and medical students to write down questions to ask of students in the other discipline. Provides these questions for discussion in a facilitated interprofessional group session. Uses descriptive thematic analysis to inductively analyse the written data, from which three themes emerged: lack of knowledge about each profession, misperceptions about the other profession, and the desire to develop interprofessional relationships. |
