| Abstract |
This project is a study of the barriers perceived by perioperative nurses to accessing and using research-based information. A survey questionnaire was distributed to 184 perioperative nurses working in five public and two private hospitals in the Auckland area. The number of completed questionnaires was 106 (57.6%). The results showed that the lack of time during work hours was ranked as the highest barrier. The results also showed that many nurses feel they do not have the skills to find and appraise research articles. |

| Abstract |
The author takes a multidisciplinary approach to examine how the location and concept rural is defined and provides a critique of the disparate definitions available. Definitions encompass different disciplines such as sociology and anthropology, and there are national distinctions based on historical factors. The chapter also investigates the way researchers speak about rural people, particularly as the human aspect of health is a primary concern to nursing. The focus is on the socio-cultural, occupational, ecological, and health aspects of rurality. The Rural Framework Wheel is introduced, which is a method to categorise rural contextual definitions. Rurality is presented as a variable and evolving concept that provides particular challenges to nursing practice. |

Rural nursing |
| Abstract |
Although it is accepted in rural nursing literature that the context shapes nursing practice there is limited opportunity to gain an understanding of how this occurs. This dissertation addresses this issue. Firstly, by employing a social geographical lens to define and examine the dynamic, evolving rural context and secondly, by considering the nursing concepts that arise from those contextual factors that relate directly to rural societal health needs. Defining 'rural' is essential when describing or debating rural nursing practice in context. However, there remains no universally accepted definition of 'rural'. Despite this and even though each location is individually specific, there are socio-cultural, occupational, ecological and health aspects that are common and bespeak rural society. These aspects have been developed into a Rural Framework Wheel as a visual reference to demonstrate the substantial influences which impact on nursing practice within the rural context. The framework encapsulates the distinctive dimensions that are hallmarks of rural nursing practice. Nurses can therefore use the framework to express concisely their individualised practice and competence by employing the two broad themes that have emerged from the literature; that of 'nursing per se' and 'partnership'. The Rural Framework Wheel is recommended as a paradigm to critique the practice of rural nurses from an educational, employment, research and political perspective. It is advocated that this framework be used by rural nurses to describe their practice and therefore to express the distinctiveness of the rural nursing identity. |

| Abstract |
This is the first of three chapters that describe nursing practice. The author presents the Rural Framework Wheel to elaborate aspects of the rural context. The Framework comprises four systems which describe aspects of rurality; being are socio-cultural, occupational, ecological, and health. These systems each comprise of subsystems, which provide a detailed analysis of the way nursing practice is particular in diverse rural settings. The Framework is presented as a work in progress, and is grounded in international nursing literature. It highlights rural nursing as a unique and challenging field, with the dominant themes of partnership and nursing emerging as underpinning the practice when nurses live and work in small, sometimes isolated communities. |

Flight nurse perceptions of factors inflencing clinical decision making in their practice environment: a thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Nursing at the Eastern Institute of Technology, Taradale, New Zealand
The research project sought to describe the flight nurses perceptions about the factors that influence clinical decision making in their flight nursing practice, using a descriptive survey methodology. Themes emerged as factors which participants perceived influenced clinical decision making in their flight nursing role and in the aeromedical role. These themes included pre-flight preparation, patient status, experience and education of the nurse, and the challenges associated with the physical and atmospheric environments. |

| Abstract |
This paper describes the Kidz First paediatric community homecare nursing team in South Auckland. While the service was not initially planned as an integrated approach to child health, its evolution reflects the move to more community based care delivery and the expansion of nurse-led initiatives in New Zealand. The components of a community paediatric home nursing team as described by Eaton (2000) are used to provide the framework with which to describe the service. A focus group held with the Kidz First paediatric community homecare nurses has enabled definition of the key nursing components provided to children and their families living in South Auckland. |

| Abstract |
This study sought to determine the attitudes, beliefs and values towards clinical work organisation of students entering undergraduate medicine, nursing and pharmacy programmes in order to frame questions for a wider study. University of Auckland students entering medicine, nursing and pharmacy programmes completed a questionnaire based on that used by Degeling et al. in studies of the professional subcultures working in the health system in Australia, New Zealand, England and elsewhere. Findings indicate that before students commence their education and training medical, nursing and pharmacy students as groups or sub-cultures differ in how they believe clinical work should be organised. Medical students believe that clinical work should be the responsibility of individuals in contrast to nursing students who have a collective view and believe that work should be systemised. Pharmacy students are at a mid-point in this continuum. There are many challenges for undergraduate programmes preparing graduates for modern healthcare practice where the emphasis is on systemised work and team based approaches. These include issues of professional socialisation which begins before students enter programmes, selection of students, attitudinal shifts and interprofessional education. |

| Abstract |
This study has sought to quantify the attitudes of first-year medical, nursing and pharmacy students' towards interprofessional learning, at course commencement. The Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) (University of Liverpool, Department of Health Care Education), was administered to first-year medical, nursing and pharmacy students at the University of Auckland. Differences between the three groups were analysed. The majority of students reported positive attitudes towards shared learning. The benefits of shared learning, including the acquisition of teamworking skills, were seen to be beneficial to patient care and likely to enhance professional working relationships. However professional groups differed: nursing and pharmacy students indicated more strongly that an outcome of learning together would be more effective teamworking. Medical students were the least sure of their professional role, and considered that they required the acquisition of more knowledge and skills than nursing or pharmacy students. |
