Abstract: Measures the extent of care planning and support for health goals within a sample of Maori/non-Maori people with long-term conditions (LTC). Compares those with and without care plans, and those with and without support for health goals, with respect to health, and experiences with general practice. Patients enrolled in a MidCentral District Health Board regional LTC programme were recruited into the region's 'Talking about Health' study to explore LTC care from patient and provider perspectives by means of a questionnaire.

Abstract: Offers an understanding of how nursing discourse is embedded within legislation, regulatory bodies, and nursing practice and its direct impact on the health and well-being of Maori nurses. Argues that nursing discourse marginalises and undervalues tikanga. Explores the experiences of Maori registered nurses (RN) using a kaupapa Maori, mixed-method approach. Surveys over 300 Maori RNs about career and professional development, use of tikanga, cultural identity, and racism/discrimination at work.

Therkleson, T., & Sherwood, P. (2004). Patients' experience of the external therapeutic application of ginger by anthroposophically trained nurses. The Indo-Pacific Journal of Phenomenology, 4(1), 1–11.
Abstract: There has been considerable public debate on the range of complementary health practices throughout the western world, perhaps especially in Australia, United States and Europe. Most often, the research critique of these practices is restricted to quantitative or non-user qualitative research methodologies. Consequently, there is a significant gap in the research profile of complementary health services that need to be addressed particularly in view of the rapid and ongoing increase in the use of complementary services, even in the face of sometimes adverse media publicity. This paper demonstrates the contribution that phenomenologically-based research can make to fill this lacuna by explicating, in detail, the client experience of a complementary health practice. The paper explores patient experience of a ginger compress, as applied by anthroposophically trained nurses, to demonstrate various therapeutic effects. Four key themes emerged including an increase in warmth and internal activity in the major organs of the body, changes in thought-life and sensory perception along with a greater sense of well-being and self-focus with the perception of clearer personal boundaries. These themes, emerging from a patient sample in New Zealand, compared favourably to the Filderklinik Study completed in 1992 in a large German state hospital.

Abstract: Describes an innovative solution to designing meaningful learning activities as substitutes for clinical placements in primary health care settings, in which student nurses focus on collaborative learning in a virtual team. Backgrounds their participation in a project focusing on disaster nursing preparedness and management of the sequelae associated with a disaster, particularly the COVID-19 pandemic. Notes how e-learning short courses contributed to student preparation for clinical practice acting as substitutes for clinical experience.

Trenberth, D. (2008). New Zealand families' beliefs about what constitutes successful management of unsupervised childcare. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: This study explored what some New Zealand families believe constitutes the successful management of unsupervised childcare. It was designed to increase social understanding and practitioner knowledge of the issue by exploring families' beliefs, practices and perspectives. The researcher was concerned with the professional role nurses may play with this group of children. A qualitative descriptive approach was used to obtain a straight description of successful unsupervised childcare, using the everyday language of the participating families. Data was collected in semi structured interviews with five family groups, and subjected to content and thematic analysis. Findings suggest unsupervised childcare is both choice and solution, though parents are fearful of the legal and social consequences of using it. Context of the care is important, with the child's preference, community context and availability of adults through distal supervision critical components of its success. Trust between parent and child, the use of rules and boundaries to regulate child behaviour, the teaching of skills and strategies to build child competency, and parental support of children while unsupervised are identified by parents as factors linked to success. Parents identify increasing child independence and self responsibility as positive outcomes from the successful use of unsupervised childcare. This study has helped to identify positive factors resulting in good outcomes from which successful interventions could be developed, provides information that will be of particular interest to practitioners and policy makers, and provides a platform to launch larger studies into the issue of unsupervised children.

Tritschler, E., & Yarwood, J. (2007). Relating to families through their seasons of life: An indigenous practice model. Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand, 13(5), 18–3.
Abstract: In this article the authors introduce an alternative way that nurses can be with families, using a relational process that can enhance nurses' responses when working with those transitioning to parenthood. Seasons of Life, a framework adapted from the Maori health model He Korowai Oranga, emerged from practice to offer a compassionate and encouraging stance, while at the same time respecting each family's realities and wishes. The model allows the exploration of the transition to parenthood within a wellness model, and takes a strengths-based approach to emotional distress. This approach provides a sense of “normality”, rather than of pathology, for the emotions experienced by new parents. The specific issues men may face are discussed, where despite recent culture change that allows men a more nurturing parental role, there is still no clear understanding of how men articulate their sense of pleasure or distress at this time. Practitioners are encouraged to examine their own assumptions, values and beliefs, and utilise tools such as reflective listening, respect, insight and understanding. The most significant aspect of relationship between nurse and parents is not the outcome, but how nurses engage with families. Examples from practice will demonstrate some of the differing ways this relational process framework has been effective.
