Abstract |
This study focussed on nursing practice in action. The research goal was to identify nursing-relevant dimensions within a person's experience of being a hospital patient undergoing elective surgery. In order to discover and conceptualize the underlying processes which are present as patients are nursed through this experience, an open question was posed – What is happening here? A qualitative research method ws the most appropriate means of discovering an answer to this question.The particular method chosen was the grounded theory approach developed by Glaser and Strauss. Data were collected in five surgical wards of a large city hospital over a period of five months. The research participants were twenty-one patients and the nurses involved in their care. Primary sources of data were interviews and the nursing records. These were augmented by field notes and accounts of observed incidents relating to the care of each patient.Using the inductive strategies of the grounded theory method, numerous descriptive concepts were generated during the data analysis. These were ordered within an integrating social process derived from anthropology. By this means a founded theory in the form of a theoretical framework – the Nursed Passage – was developed. Within this passage the patient is the passage and nursing is translated into action through the agency of the nurse.The Nursed Passage is a patterned partnership with three key elements. Firstly, the temporal element, characterised by ongoing movement and constant change, is conveyed in the sequence of phases or stages. Secondly the participative element is portrayed as a patterned relationship in which both nurses and patient are actively involved in progressing the patient through the passage. Finally, the contextual element recognises complex factors within the nursing environment which have an impact on the shape of the relationship between patient and nurse.This theoretical framework, generated from the reality of nursing as it occurs in one setting, assigns a specific shape to the encounter between nurses and patient. It identifies the contribution nursing alone can make to optimise each patient's hospital experience. In this way it both complements and facilitates the work of medical and other colleagues with whom nurses work. Thus it serves to revalue nursing in terms that can maximally utilise the registered nurse's knowledge and skill for the benefit of all concerned. Consequently, it has the potential value for nursing practice, education and research |

Abstract |
This study was conducted to investigate the practise of Nurses when working with depressed patients in an In Care setting. A survey of the literature shows that the role commonly prescribed for nurses who work in psychiatric settings is one that emphasises a one- on -one relationship based on models of psychotherapy and focuses on individual illness, pathology, systems and psycho dynamics. It is suggested that this is not a role which most Nurses working in New Zealand psychiatric settings would be able to implement in practise. Three perspective's of Nursing practise were explored in the study. What Nurses were seen to do in practice. What they thought they should do as evidenced in results of an exercise to rank different possible interventions, and what patients said were helpful Nursing interventions. A framework was developed for the study which depicts the process of helplessness(depression) as the negative 'mirror -image' of the process of self care. Results were analysed within this framework to determine whether or not Nurses tended to support behaviours which were indicative of movement towards helplessness or encourage those which indicated progress towards self care by their interventions. There was little evidence of positive reinforcement for independent or coping behaviours with patients in the study sample. Further, the nursing practise showed little relationship to the role prescribed in the literature. The Nurses did demonstrate a warm caring friendly approach that seemed to stem from a more traditional 'succouring, mothering' view of Nurses' role |

Abstract |
The purpose of this study is to examine aspects of the behaviour of Nurses towards persons with alcohol related problems. Similarities and differences in helpful and unhelpful behaviour as perceived by providers and users of care are identified using the behaviour to alcoholism management ( B.R.A.M.) scale. The research covers two phases. In phase One 27 Registered Nurses and 12 members of Alcoholics Anonymous completed critical incident questionnaires which furnished a list of helpful behaviours and a list of unhelpful behaviours. These have been analysed and a set of descriptive statements prepared which constitutes the B.R. A.M. scale. In Phase Two this has been administered to 67 Registered Nurses and 46 members of Alcoholics Anonymous and the results assessed. The findings show that Nurses and Problem Drinkers view the same behaviour as helpful. There is however a significant difference between the two groups on the types of behaviour they consider to be unhelpful. This finding has consequences for those who provide care for problem Drinkers and for Teachers and students in education programs for Nurses |
