  Title New Zealand registered nurses' use of physical assessment skills: A pilot study Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Vision: A Journal of Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue 14(1) Pages  
  Keywords Clinical assessment; Nursing; Evaluation  
  Abstract The objective of this project was to ascertain registered nurses' use of selected physical assessment skills before and after participation in a health assessment course. A pre- (also referred to as part I) and post- (part II) test design was used to investigate the research aim. Participants were obtained via a convenience sample. A questionnaire was completed at the beginning of the educational programme and then four to six weeks after completion of the assessment course. A two tailed t-test was used to identify any significant differences in the characteristics of participants from part I (N = 206) to part II (N = 145), with no differences identified. However, there was an overall mean percentage difference of 17.1% in the use of physical assessment skills after having completed the educational programme. In conclusion, the researchers found that four to six weeks after completion of a health assessment course, nurses were using the skills learned to improve their nursing practice more frequently than before the programme.

  Title Why nurses in New Zealand stay working in rural areas Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication New Zealand Family Physician Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 33 Issue 3 Pages 173-175  
  Keywords Rural nursing; Recruitment and retention; Job satisfaction; Teamwork; Primary health care  
  Abstract The author investigates why nurses in New Zealand stay working in rural areas when their Australian counterparts and medical colleagues are leaving rural areas at alarming rates. She looks at international recruitment and retention issues, and particularly compares rural nursing in Australia with New Zealand. Local research shows that over 50% of rural nursing is in the practice environment. Practice nurses report high job satisfaction, specifically around working with diverse populations, autonomy, and working with GPs, the local community, and local iwi. The only perceived barrier identified in the New Zealand literature to job satisfaction and collaborative team behaviour has been the funding of nursing services in rural areas. This contrasts with many barriers to rural nursing in Australia, and the author suggests New Zealand policy makers may learn from Australia's retention issues.
