  Title Hermeneutic notions augment cultural safety education Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Journal of Nursing Education Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 44 Issue 9 Pages 409-414  
  Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing; Education; Transcultural nursing  
  Abstract In this article, the author integrates literature pertaining to the implementation of kawa whakaruruhau, or cultural safety, with the findings of a hermeneutic project that described the experience of nursing people from cultures other than one's own. It is argued that the Gadamerian notions of “horizon,” “prejudice,” and “play” can be used to facilitate understanding of the tensions and contradictions inherent in cross-cultural practice. Strategies are recommended that enable students to explore the prejudices, paradoxes, and possibilities experienced personally and professionally.

  Title Hermeneutic notions illuminate cross-cultural nursing experiences Type Journal Article
  Year 2001 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 35 Issue 4 Pages 624-630  
  Keywords Transcultural nursing; Nursing  
  Abstract The aim of this paper was to articulate selected hermeneutic notions for the purpose of extending current understanding of cross-cultural nursing practice, and build on the author's work in this area. The project asserted that the notions of prejudice, paradox and possibility portray a nursing view of this phenomenon. The emphasis in this paper, rather than being methodological, is on showing how specific hermeneutic notions contribute to deeper understanding of the nature of cross-cultural practice. It is argued that contact with, and the capacity to explore, the play of conflicting prejudices and possibilities enhances understanding of the complex and paradoxical nature of cross-cultural nursing.

  Title Nursing people from cultures other than one's own: A perspective from New Zealand Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 15 Issue 3 Pages 222-231  
  Keywords Transcultural nursing; Maori; Psychiatric Nursing  
  Abstract This paper provides an overview of the evolving meaning of 'culture' in New Zealand nursing. Then, drawing upon the findings of research that used hermeneutic phenomenology to explore the experience of nursing people from cultures other than one's own, a description of the constituent parts is of this phenomenon is briefly outlined and followed by an exemplar that describes the coalescent and contradictory nature of the phenomenon as a whole. As New Zealand nurses negotiate the conflicts essential for ongoing development of their practice, interplay of the notions of prejudice, paradox and possibility is evident at intrapersonal and interpersonal levels as well as in relation to professional and other discourses.

  Title Prejudice, paradox, and possibility: Nursing people from cultures other than one's own Type Journal Article
  Year 2001 Publication Journal of Transcultural Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 12 Issue 2 Pages 100-106  
  Keywords Cultural safety; Transcultural nursing; Nurse-patient relations  
  Abstract This article provides a brief overview of the findings of a hermeneutic study that explored the experience of nursing people from cultures other than one's own. The notions prejudice, paradox, and possibility are argued to describe this phenomenon. Nurses in New Zealand are being challenged to recognise and address racism in their practice. Yet, the implementation of cultural safety in nursing education has created tension within the profession and between nursing and the wider community. As nurses negotiate the conflicts essential for ongoing development of their practice, the play of prejudice, paradox, and possibility is evident at intrapersonal and interpersonal levels as well as in relation to professional and other discourses. Nurses are challenged to continue their efforts to understand and move beyond the prejudices that otherwise preclude the exploration of new possibilities.

  Title Advocating practice: The role of the community oncology nurse Type
  Year 2002 Publication Abbreviated Journal ResearchArchive@Victoria  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Community health nursing; Cancer; Nurse-patient relations; Oncology  
  Abstract The primary aim of this research was to advocate for, and make known, the role of the community oncology nurse, and to bring alive the hidden issues of nursing people in the community who have active cancer treatment. This study is also about the author's journey from novice to expert in developing the role as a community oncology nurse. The research also aimed to identify and understand practice that community oncology nurses do and often take for granted. To capture the essence of this study the method of reflective topical autobiography was utilised, which gave the opportunity to gather advanced nursing inquiry, and generate new nursing knowledge. To obtain insight into the highs and lows in everyday interaction with patients, reflective practice stories are presented. The thesis generated by this research is that care required by cancer patients at home goes beyond the scope of traditional community health. It requires nurses to be competent in technological skills as well as bringing in-depth expertise to the practical and human needs of people experiencing cancer. The role involves holistic, family-centered care; anticipating patient and family needs; educating; managing symptoms; advocating; confronting ethical issues; coordinating complex care; and monitoring progress.

  Title Feasibility of integrated community based nursing services Type
  Year 1981 Publication Abbreviated Journal NHSAC P.O. Box 1941 Wellington  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract A nurses working party was formed by the primary health care SSDG in 1979 to investigate the feasibility of integrated community based nursing services. A six month trial was held in a mainly urban area (population 5637) testing these ideas in 1980. Using the existing time of the four nursing services in the area a team approach was used with all nurses being responsible to a coordinating nurse. The present role of the public nurse and district nurse was integrated – this new nurse was called a community health nurse. These two nurses worked from a base located in te trial area. Liaison and coordination were established with the Plunket and practice nurse. The results of the trial enabled the primary health care SSDG to prepare a plan on community based nursing services

  Title The benefits and challenges of one New Zealand nursing undergraduate clinical education model: A case study Type
  Year 2004 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Clinical supervision; Preceptorship; Education; Students; Nursing  
  Abstract This research project utilised a case study approach to give ward managers a voice in the literature, by exploring and describing from their perspective the benefits and challenges of one particular nursing undergraduate clinical education model. The tertiary education provider contracts the health provider to provide Clinical Nurse Educators (CNEs) to support second and third year undergraduate nursing students during their clinical experiences. The CNEs are seconded from their respective wards to meet the organisation's contractual obligations. Data were gathered from two ward managers using semi-structured interviews. The findings elucidate the role of the undergraduate CNE, highlighting benefits such as the CNE being supernumerary to ward rosters and having time to teach, not only supervise students. CNEs are student-focused and easily accessible as they are based on site. The CNE was the one person who was 'there' for a student as a student's preceptor can change shift-by-shift and day-by-day. One significant challenge which emerged was the replacement of ward staff, not only of senior nurses who can leave their wards for up to 12 weeks to undertake the CNE role but also that of the student's preceptor if the student's preceptor was on annual, sick or study leave. Other challenges such as the inability of ward managers to pre-book casual staff; preceptor work-loads; skill-mix issues and fluctuating fulltime equivalents are also discussed.

  Title Exploring the juxtaposition of end of life care in the acute setting and the integrated care pathway for the care of the dying Type
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Palliative care; Hospitals; Communication; Nurse-patient relations  
  Abstract The primary aim of this research paper is to draw on the literature to offer some insight into end of life care in the acute hospital setting. The secondary purpose is to provide an understanding of the integrated clinical pathway (ICP) for the care of the dying, consider its influence related to some of the challenges shaping end of life care and the positive effect it can generate on the quality of care experienced. There are significant challenges that impact on both the delivery and receipt of care for dying patients and their families. Six key influential barriers are considered within the context of the acute setting. Communication and the acute environment are two areas that significantly impact on the quality of care delivered, and are explored in more depth. Narratives from nursing and medical staff convey the realities encountered and difficulties experienced when they are unable to provide the care to which they aspire. Stories are shared by patients and families, which reflect on their experience of end of life care in the acute setting, and offer heath professionals some insight into the lives of the people nurses care for. The literature in relation to the development and implementation of the Liverpool Care of the Dying Pathway, and an overview of the Pathway document is presented. The strengths and limitations of its use are considered, alongside its influence beyond the documentation of clinical care. It is not possible to transfer the hospice service into the hospital setting, however the author suggests that through the implementation of the clinical pathway there is an opportunity to transfer best practice guidelines and positively influence the palliative culture in the acute setting.
