Bramley, C. J. (1981). The nurse and the problem drinker: a study of helping behaviour. Ph.D. thesis, , .
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

Jacobs, S. (2005). Advanced nursing practice and the nurse practitioner: New Zealand nursing's professional project in the late 20th century. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: This thesis examines the forces influencing the development of contemporary advanced nursing practice in New Zealand. It begins with an historical approach to explore the various meanings of advanced nursing practice from the late 1800s through the first years of the 21st century. Seven historical understandings of the meaning of 'advanced' nursing practice emerge. The author's analysis of the broad scope of New Zealand nursing history, including a case study of the development and implementation of the nurse practitioner, draws on theoretical perspectives from sociology, political science, and nursing. She develops a “framework of critical factors for nursing to take into account when considering how to ensure the profession is able to deliver on its great potential to improve the health of New Zealand communities”. Examining the work of a range of nursing leaders, past and present, and drawing on the work of political scientist, John Kingdon, the author describes the work of several nurses as “policy entrepreneurship.”
