Title Cultural safety, where does it fit? A literature review Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication Vision: A Journal of Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 8 Issue 14 Pages 27-30
Keywords Cultural safety; Cross-cultural comparison; History of nursing
Abstract This literature review discusses the history of the inclusion of culture into nursing studies. There is a small sample of overseas literature for critique with a focus on the inclusion of cultural safety in New Zealand. The concept of cultural safety was first introduced into New Zealand in the late 1980s. It was adopted by the New Zealand Nursing Council for nurses and midwives in 1992 and became part of the basic curriculum for nursing and midwifery education.

Title Prejudice, paradox, and possibility: Nursing people from cultures other than one's own Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Journal of Transcultural Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 12 Issue 2 Pages 100-106
Keywords Cultural safety; Transcultural nursing; Nurse-patient relations
Abstract This article provides a brief overview of the findings of a hermeneutic study that explored the experience of nursing people from cultures other than one's own. The notions prejudice, paradox, and possibility are argued to describe this phenomenon. Nurses in New Zealand are being challenged to recognise and address racism in their practice. Yet, the implementation of cultural safety in nursing education has created tension within the profession and between nursing and the wider community. As nurses negotiate the conflicts essential for ongoing development of their practice, the play of prejudice, paradox, and possibility is evident at intrapersonal and interpersonal levels as well as in relation to professional and other discourses. Nurses are challenged to continue their efforts to understand and move beyond the prejudices that otherwise preclude the exploration of new possibilities.

Title Increasing patient numbers: The implications for New Zealand emergency departments Type Journal Article
Year 1999 Publication Accident & Emergency Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 7 Issue 3 Pages 158-163
Keywords Emergency nursing; Organisational change
Abstract This article examines influences that impact on the work of the Emergency Departments (EDs). EDs are noticing increased attendance of patients with minor or non-urgent conditions. This increase in patient volume, together with on-going fiscal constraints and restructuring, has placed an added strain on the functioning of EDs. New Zealand nurses need to question the role currently given to EDs and identify the issues surrounding the increased use of these departments for primary health care.

Title Family-centred care: Understanding our past Type Miscellaneous
Year 2004 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 20 Issue 3 Pages 4-12
Keywords History of nursing; Nurse-family relations; Paediatric nursing; Parents and caregivers
Abstract Oral history accounts of the care of the hospitalised child in the context of family are used to argue that current practice paradoxes in family-centred care are historically ingrained. The article looks at the post-war period, the intervening years, and current practice, centred on the changing concept of motherhood throughout that time. The conflict between clinical expediency versus family and child needs is explored.

Title Paradoxical pursuits in child health nursing practice: Discourses of scientific mothercraft Type Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Critical Public Health Abbreviated Journal
Volume 13 Issue 3 Pages 281-293
Keywords Plunket; Nurse-family relations; Paediatric nursing; Nursing philosophy
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine the discourses of scientific mothercraft and their implications for the nurse-mother relationship, drawing on the author's recent research into surveillance and the exercise of power in the child health nursing context. The application of Foucauldian discourse analysis to the texts generated by interviews with five New Zealand child health nurses confirms that this paradoxical role has never been fully resolved. Plunket nurses primarily work in the community with the parents of new babies and preschool children. Their work, child health surveillance, is considered to involve routine and unproblematic practices generally carried out in the context of a relationship between the nurse and the mother. However, there are suggestions in the literature that historically the nurse's surveillance role has conflicting objectives, as she is at the same time an inspector and family friend.

Title Burnout: Results of an empirical study of New Zealand nurses Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal
Volume 11 Issue 1 Pages 71-83
Keywords Occupational health and safety; Stress; Nursing
Abstract This is the first New Zealand study to use the Maslach Burnout Inventory (MBI) and the Phase Model of Burnout to determine the extent and severity of burnout in a population of 1134 nurses. Burnout is conceptualised as a syndrome consisting of three components-emotional exhaustion, reduced personal accomplishment and depersonalisation of clients or patients that occurs in individuals who work in the human service professions, particularly nursing. It has been observed that nurses are at a high risk of burnout and burnout has been described as the 'professional cancer' of nursing. Results revealed an overall 'low to average' level of burnout, suggesting that New Zealand nurses, apart from those in the 41-45 age group, are doing better than expected insofar as they are managing to avoid or not progress to the advanced phases of burnout. Possible explanations and directions for future research are presented.

Title The invisible bodies of nursing Type
Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal University of Otago Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Nursing philosophy
Abstract In this thesis, the author explores what she terms 'invisible bodies of nursing', which are the physical body of the nurse, the body of practice, and the body of knowledge. She argues that the physical body of the nurse is absent in most nursing literature. Her contention is that the physical body of the nurse is invisible because it is tacit and much nursing practice is invisible because it is perceived by many nurses to be inarticulable and is carried out within a private discourse of nursing, silently and secretly. Nursing knowledge is invisible because it is not seen as being valid or authoritative or sanctioned as a legitimate discourse by the dominant discourse. This analysis is informed by Luce Irigaray's philosophy of the feminine, Michel Foucault's genealogical approach to analysing, and Maurice Merleau-Ponty's phenomenology. The author discusses strategies that nurses could use to make themselves more 'visible' in healthcare structures.

Title Suctioning adults with an artifical airway: A systematic review Type Book Whole
Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Subscriber access at the Joanna Briggs Institute
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Evidence-based medicine; Nursing research
Abstract This systematic review was conducted by the New Zealand Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, a collaborating centre of The Joanna Briggs Institute for Evidence Based Nursing and Midwifery. The aim was to present the best available evidence on interventions, which are effective in preventing or reducing the prevalence of complications associated with suctioning, in hospitalised adult patients with an artificial airway who are breathing spontaneously or are artificially ventilated and who require suctioning. The specific questions addressed were as follows: Which methods of suctioning reduce the prevalence of mucosal trauma or mucosal dysfunction, and promote the removal of respiratory secretions? Which techniques or methods are effective in reducing the occurrence of suctioning -induced hypoxaemia, during or following the suctioning procedure? Which techniques or methods are effective in minimising the haemodynamic or pulmonary complications associated with the suctioning procedure?
