| Title | Casualization of the nursing workforce: A New Zealand perspective on an international phenomenon | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2001 | Publication | International Journal of Nursing Practice | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 7 | Issue | 2 | Pages | 104-108 |
| Keywords | Industrial relations; Organisational change; Nursing; Personnel staffing and scheduling | ||||
| Abstract | A discussion of the increased use of 'casual' nursing staff (those nurses employed on a casual or 'per diem' basis) is presented. Reference is made to related literature, together with consideration of the implications associated with this trend. This issue has international significance, with the increased use of casual staff being widely recognised. A New Zealand perspective is included, with the provision of nursing care at Christchurch Hospital presented to illustrate certain aspects of the discussion. The impact of changing health-care systems and increased emphasis on efficiency and accountability are identified. This change to workplace practice will inevitably affect nursing; possible future developments are considered. | ||||

| Title | New Zealand health professionals do not agree about what defines appropriate attendance at an emergency department | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2006 | Publication | New Zealand Medical Journal | Abbreviated Journal | Access is free to articles older than 6 months, and abstracts. |
| Volume | 119 | Issue | 1232 | Pages | |
| Keywords | Hospitals; Clinical assessment; Interprofessional relations | ||||
| Abstract | This study aims to examine the concept of 'inappropriate' emergency department attendances in relation to the emergency department at Christchurch Hospital. It specifically seeks to determine whether there is a consensus opinion among healthcare providers regarding a definition of 'inappropriate'. An exploratory survey of health professionals involved with the referral, assessment, transport, and treatment of emergency department patients in Christchurch was carried out. A range of health professionals, including ambulance personnel, general practitioners, emergency department physicians, emergency nurses, and hospital managers were approached. A series of questions relating to definition and response to 'inappropriate' patients was asked, with an additional open-ended question relating to the definition of 'appropriateness'. The researchers found significant differences in the attitudes and perceptions of key health professionals involved in the referral, treatment, and admission of patients to the emergency department. This has implications for any interventions aimed at addressing emergency department 'overcrowding' that assume the presence of a consensus understanding of this concept. | ||||

| Title | As a nurse in the family: Three women's stories of what it means for a female nurse to be caregiver to a family member who is ill, elderly or with an enduring illness | Type | |||
| Year | 2004 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Victoria University of Wellington Library | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Nurse-family relations | ||||
| Abstract | In this research, three female registered nurses relived their experiences of being caregiver to a family member who was ill, elderly or had an enduring illness and explored whether they chose, or felt obligated, to assume the role of caregiver because they were nurses. This research was an exploratory descriptive study utilising narrative as inquiry and the method of story-telling. It is women-centered, taking into account the unpaid role of caregiving within families most often fulfilled by women. Four main themes were identified and renamed to highlight research findings – these were the culture of nursing, silence of the nurses, emotional cloudiness, and the natural role of the nurse. Through this study it is hoped that nurses will be more aware of the impact their caregiving roles have had on their lives. The importance in acknowledging the effects of caregiving, relevance of informing employers to promote supportiveness, implications for workforce development and recognising the loss of objectivity in caring when emotions are involved, are identified in this research. The author suggests that further indepth research about these concepts would be a valuable contribution to the nursing profession and ideas for future research have been identified. | ||||
