Hayward, S. (2009). Evaluation of a change programme: model of nursing care delivery. Master's thesis, , .
Abstract: A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Health Sciences.
Primary nursing as a framework within which nurses deliver patient care has been a nursing care delivery system of choice in New Zealand for the last two decades. A number of studies have been carried out, with a review of the literature suggesting inconclusive support for this delivery system over other functional nursing care models. However, there is support for the philosophy underpinning this model, with documented evidence that this framework can help nurses achieve a degree of professional development and autonomous practice that other models cannot. Using documented information created during the move from one model of nursing care to another this work evaluates what were the drivers for the change, how it was managed and what the outcomes were.
Findings indicated that this change project was a success. Analysis of the data collected pre and post implementation indicated some positive shifts, but more importantly it was the information gathered from both patients and nurses that gave creditability to the new model of nursing care.

Haywood, B. (2003). Pre-employment health screening: Is it useful? Available online from the Eastern Institute of Technology, 11(17), 10–14.
Abstract: The author, an occupational health nurse, examines rationale for and effectiveness of the pre-employment assessment, which has become an accepted practice. Reasons for doing assessments include the reduction of risk to the employer from lower accident rates and absenteeism, compliance with legislative requirements and the provision of baseline health measures for general health surveillance. The costs of the screening process, along with the benefits are weighed up, in conjunction with international research in the area. The author found little research on the process in New Zealand. The opportunity for primary health care and health promotion practice as an aspect of this screening is highlighted as an important, though underestimated, benefit. Regular auditing is recommended to ensure that the outcomes of the process meet the criteria required.

Henderson, H. M. What is the public image of the nurse?.
Abstract: Taxes et al (1965) suggested that “people are characterised in terms of their vocations. We form an image of an occupation early in life and tend to maintain this image.” My research project used a descriptive methodology using a postal questionnaire for 100 subjects within the Wellington region. A 60% return eventuated and results interpreted as positive /negative response, grouped and discussed. The sample constituted a cross section of the publics view on the image of a Nurse. This research was performed as a requirement for an academic experience as part of a Post Graduate Diploma

Hendry, C. (1997). Comparison between consumers and providers perceptions of quality maternity hospital care. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: Maternity services in New Zealand have undergone some fundamental and unique changes over the last few years. The promotion of competition among providers for clients have had repercussions on the way that maternity hospitals offers services to women. In adapting to this change, it is important that 'the baby is not thrown out with the bathwater'. Unfortunately the most commonly used indicators, and the standard “Patient Satisfaction Survey”, neither of which contain many valuable clues for maternity facility providers to determine the quality of their service from the consumer's perspective. The need was identified for the development of quality indicators to evaluate maternity hospital care. Closely related to this was the need to determine of how dependable providers are at determining what consumers would describe as an optimal maternity hospital service

Hendry, C., & East, S. (2013). Impact of the Christchurch earthquakes on clients receiving health care in their homes. Available through NZNO library, 4(1), 4–10.
Abstract: Eighteen months after the first of many large earthquakes, Christchurch-based home health care provider Nurse Maude surveyed staff to identify the impact on the well-being of their mainly elderly clients. Responses from 168 staff identified five key issues. These were: mental health, anxiety, and depression, symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); unsafe environments; loneliness and isolation; difficulty coping with change; and poor access to services. To meet the needs of clients in this challenging environment, staff felt they needed more time to care, including listening to stories, calming clients and dealing with clients who had become slower and more cautious. Damaged and blocked roads, and the fact that many clients moved house without warning, added to the time it took to deliver care in the home. This survey has helped Nurse Maude build on its initial post-earthquake responses to better meet the needs of clients and support health-care workers in this stressful environment.

Abstract: Investigates the logistics and acceptability of an electronic medication dispenser (EMD) within a home-based medication management service as a substitute for face-to-face home visiting, as a means of reminding elderly clients to take their medication on time. Uses a qualitative usability study methodology to conduct the study, centred on a small group of clients receiving the service from a small group of clients receiving the service from a community nursing organisation in Christchurch. Involves patients, pharmacists, nurses and managers of the community nursing service. Identifies critical processes and protocols required to safely support a wider roll-out of the product within the service.

Henty, C., & Dickinson, A. R. (2007). Practice nurses' experiences of the Care Plus programme: A qualitative descriptive study. The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners website, 34(5), 335–338.
Abstract: The aim of this small qualitative descriptive pilot study was to describe the experiences of practice nurses delivering the Care Plus programme within the general practice setting. Care Plus was introduced into Primary Health Organisations (PHOs) in 2004. This programme encourages more involvement from practice nurses in chronic care management. For many New Zealand practice nurses this is a new role. This study, carried out prior to the larger Care Plus implementation review (2006), provides an insight into the nursing experience of implementing Care Plus and provides a basis for future studies with regard to the nurse's role within the Care Plus programme.
