Abstract |
This study was undertaken to ascertain the opinions of nursing students at Wellington Polytechnic (now Massey University Campus of Wellington) about their current uniform worn on clinical placements. As the NZNO National Student Unit representative at Wellington Polytechnic, it was brought to my attention by my fellow students that the current uniform was not particularly functional. As a result of these comments I concluded the best way for students to voice their opinions further was to circulate a survey. The survey questioned the students about the current uniform and what they thought the future uniform might be. The survey was available for collection by students for a two week period in July 1998. Participation was voluntary and anonymous. It was approved by the Research and Ethics Committee, School of Nursing, Health and Environmental Sciences, Wellington Polytechnic. The results were that sixty percent of students supported a change in the current uniform. Most students chose a tunic top as their preferred option. If there was to be a change, students would be prepared to spend $20-49. Consequently permission has been granted by the Head of Department – School of Nursing to investigate a change to a tunic style top. The item will be trialed by those who wish to purchase it in 1999. I believe that it is of utmost importance that student satisfaction with their clinical uniform is assessed at regular intervals to ensure that the students take a pride in their presentation and the uniform serves the purpose for which it is intended |

Abstract |
The aim of this study was to investigate what attitudes do District Nurses have towards people with AIDS and what knowledge do they have of AIDS. It is hoped that the results will help indicate the direction of future inservice education.102 District Nurses were given a questionnaire that examined knowledge and attitudes, using both Yes/No responses, and a five point likert scale.The results show that there is a relationship between knowledge and attitudes (p=3.8%). Attitudes were generally more positive than knowledge. The study indicated that attitudes deteriorated with increasing age whereas they improved with increasing experience. For those who claimed to have had little or no education the study showed a relationship between lower knowledge and poorer attitudes. The study showed that further education is needed in areas such as: transmission of HIV, care involved for people with AIDS, resources available and the issues surrounding this disease |

Abstract |
The aim of this qualitative descriptive study was to explore the experience of new comprehensive nursing graduates as they adapted to working in the acute psychiatric setting. Interviews were conducted with four participants, focussing on their current work experiences and how the philosophical beliefs and values derived from their educational preparation fit with those they encountered within the practice setting. The data were analysed by noting common experiences, values and meanings and identifying the themes as they emerged. The themes were: transition to practice, conflict, contradiction, structural constraints, and the reality of the psychiatric setting. The results of the study confirm the concern that has been voiced by new graduates about the quality and quantity of current orientation programmes. Conflicting values and beliefs concerning the nature of mental health/psychiatric nursing has also become evident. It appears that the graduates' Comprehensive nursing preparation may have contributed to their feelings of unease as they attempted to fit their own values and beliefs about nursing with those of the acute psychiatric setting |

Abstract |
The study gives an account of curriculum development and innovation in a New Zealand school of nursing and focuses on some aspects of the basic diploma course. The study attempts, through the medium of case study, to illuminate the way in which significant curriculum decisions are made and ideas translated into institutional and technical form. Evidence is derived from the recorded perceptions of the participants, observations, and analyses of documented material. The findings confirm that the field of study is complex, multivariable and dynamic, and that translation of the curriculum on paper involves a multitude of deliberative and factual decisions by practicing teachers |

Abstract |
Aim: To determine the feasibility of establishing a nurse practitioner-led, family focused, primary health care clinic within a primary school environment as an alternate or complementary way of addressing the health needs of 'at risk' children and families to the services already provided by the public health nurse.Method: Utilising needs analysis method, data was collected from three sources – known demographic data, 17 key informant interviews and two focus group interviews. Questions were asked regarding the health needs of the community, the perceptions of participants regarding the role of the public health nurse in order to determine if a public health nurse would be the most appropriate person to lead a primary health care clinic, and the practicalities of establishing a clinic including services participants would expect a clinic to provide. Analysis was descriptive and exploratory.Results: A wide range of health needs were identified from both the demographic data and from participant interviews. Findings also showed that participant's understanding of the role of the public health nurse was not great and that community expectations were such that for a public health nurse to lead a primary health care clinic further skills would be required. Outcomes from investigating the practicalities of establishing a nurse practitioner-led clinic resulted in the preparation of a community-developed model that would serve to address the health needs of children and families in the area the study was undertaken.Conclusion: Overall findings indicated that the establishment of a nurse practitioner-led, family focused, primary health care clinic in a primary school environment is feasible. While a public health nurse may fulfil the role of the nurse practitioner, it was established that preparation to an advanced level of practice would be required. It is likely that a similar model would also be successful in other communities in New Zealand, however the health needs identified in this study are specific to the community studied. Further community needs assessments would need to be completed to ensure health services target health needs specific to the communities involved. |
