Abstract |
This study investigated issues surrounding the high numbers of preventable admissions of young children with acute illnesses, particularly amongst Maori and Pacific children. It focuses on what happens once these children are discharged. Its aims were to find out what the expressed needs of parents were, as they cared for their child, once home. Whilst there has been a small amount of international research undertaken in this area, there is little known about expressed parent need in the New Zealand context. This exploratory descriptive study involved parents of under five year old children, who had been admitted to a hospital, with one of five acute illnesses. Eighteen parents were surveyed over the telephone. This study found the parents expressed a need for reassurance and advice once home, and that they worried about their child getting sick again. It highlighted gaps in discharge planning and support. None of the parents had received a written discharge plan for their child. Only five parents had received either a contact number for advice or a referral back to their primary care provider. This study found that whilst some parents considered their discharge needs had been met, others considered that they had not. Four local discharge practice opportunities to support these families were recommended, these included, providing parents and caregivers with an individualised written discharge plan, giving a contact number for advice after discharge, offering a follow-up phone call in the first 48 hours, and ensuring that all children have a referral back to their primary health care provider. Areas for further research were highlighted, including the need for a larger study to explore and compare the needs of rural and urban parents, and Maori and Pacific parents. |

Is it possible to care for the “difficult” male? A study exploring the interface between gender issues, nursing practice and men's health |

Abstract |
This thesis is about caring for males, especially those males who could be considered “difficult” to care for through their use of behaviours such as silence, anger or defensive humour. This thesis is positioned in the view that these behaviours are often expressions of distress, which typically distance males from those who attempt to care for them. The author suggests that the word “distress” more accurately reflects the theme of the thesis, and it is used throughout the work. This thesis explores the interface between gender issues, nursing practice and caring for males. It is informed by a review of relevant literature and data gathered from a focus group of nine registered nurses. The analysis is framed by questions that are developed from a series of reflections on my personal and professional life. Critical social theory, with its emphases on dominant dialogue, power and emancipation is used to inform and guide this analysis. What is most obvious is the contrast between themes arising from the literature and those arising from the focus group. It appears that the literature, in the main, is critical of males in regard to concepts of masculinity, issues related to gender, and men's health. Males are portrayed as arbitrators of their own misfortune, as deliberately choosing a lifestyle that reflects poorly on their health, their self-expression, and communication with others. Concepts such as power and control over others, both at a societal and individual level, often feature. Conversely, the literature is noticeably lacking in regard to information about the health related experiences of males and about caring for males. In contrast, the participants of the focus group frame their discussion in the positive. For example, they suggest that males are interested in their health but require an environment that supports this expression of interest. They support this by identifying a range of behaviours they believe are effective in caring for males. The participants also suggest that it is the registered nurse rather than the male who manages issues to do with power and control. The thesis concludes that creating and sustaining an environment supportive of, and sensitive to the needs of males, is an activity that requires considerable thought, skill and experience. These areas are not adequately addressed in academic dialogue, research activity, or in the education of registered nurses. The thesis suggests that this situation is inconsistent with an ethic of care and that nursing should make a priority of broadening its research and knowledge base to better understand and care for males. |

Abstract |
Explores the rationale underpinning the development of education programmes within urban district hospitals throughout the country, and ascertains how these workplaces develop education programmes, given that the majority of nurses in New Zealand have identified that they prefer to participate in workplace-based professional development. Cites a clear requirement to foster learning during a nurse's development post-registration, while considering how prepared nurse educators were to fulfil their roles as lifelong learning facilitators and mentors. Utilises the perspective of nurse educators employed in District Health Boards (DHBs) geographically isolated from universities providing post-registration learning. |

Palliative care; Older people; Rest homes |
Abstract |
New Zealand statistics project that the aging population of people aged 65 years and over will more than double in the next decade. This has implications for palliative care providers including hospices and hospitals because long-term inpatient care is not generally provided by hospitals and hospices. When dying patients need long-term care, residential settings become an option. The level of palliative care in these facilities is dependent on staff training and numbers. In general, staff are not trained in palliative care, neither do they provide the multidisciplinary facets that define palliative care as undertaken by hospices. This paper describes a practice development initiative using storytelling as the vehicle for introducing the concept of the Liverpool Care Pathway (LCP) for the dying patient into residential aged care settings. With the emergence of a reflective paradigm in nursing the concept of storytelling as a teaching/learning tool has grown. Many staff in residential care settings come from diverse ethnic backgrounds where for some, English is their second language. Storytelling therefore can be a useful approach for learning because it can increase their communication skills. The author suggests that the Liverpool Care Pathway for the dying patient is a model that can be translated across care settings, hospice, hospital, and community. It can demonstrate a framework that facilitates multiprofessional communication and documentation and embraces local needs, culture and language to empower health care workers to deliver high quality care to dying patients and their family/whanau and carers. This paper also explores the role of a facilitator as an agent of change and discusses how the interplay of evidence, context and facilitation can result in the successful implementation of the LCP into residential aged care settings. |

Abstract |
Practice nurses work in general practice providing an increasingly autonomous service to consumers of primary health care. Autoethnography is a biographical method of research that describes personal experience in terms of society and culture and is the theoretical foundation of personal narratives and storytelling. Throughout history, stories have been used as a means of communicating and learning which with reflection, allows new meanings to develop for all participants. This autoethnography is the author's story of practice nursing and it discusses her experience of being a practice nurse over the past 12 years. It is autobiographical and reflexive and charts the changes that she has found in her practice during this time. Some of these changes have arisen from influences personal to her practice, others because of influences on practice nursing in general, but all are intertwined. Education and professional development, leadership and government policies are identified as the major influences on her practice. A discussion of these influences enables recognition of the changes, advancement and expansion of services thereby allowing others to share the experience and find meaning within it. |

Abstract |
Accent on Nursing services is on service to patients with job satisfaction of employees placed in a less worthy positions. Indices of low levels of Nurses' job satisfaction in some areas of our Hospitals in the Auckland Hospital Board indicate the established relationships between performance and morale is not always transformed into supervisory and management practise in the work situation. As recognition of job satisfaction needs is a prime factor in change, the research study is designed to measure through questionnaire and scaling methods the effect of a one week management training course on the attitudes of superiors to the job satisfaction needs of their subordinates |
