Abstract A study of 33 adult patients – 20 Anglo – Australian, 13 Yugoslav- who were admitted for arranged abdominal surgery to three Australian hospitals between January and June 1980. Focusing on the role of cultural factors in the experience of post operative pain the study confirmed the existence of some behavioral differences between Anglo – Australian and Yugoslav patients in terms of their responses to pain. The greatest degree of difference between the two groups however was found in their underlying attitudes to pain

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 The image of nurses on television: a study looking at the image of nurses portrayed on television in New Zealand in 1983 programs Type Miscellaneous
Year Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords
Abstract All Nurse/Doctor Television programs were observed and questionnaires completed over a period of two weeks, during August 1983, to study the image of Nurses as portrayed on Television, and to compare the findings with those of previous American studies in particular the studies done by Kalisch, B.J. and Kalisch, P.A. ( 1982). A total of 20 programs were viewed, divided into categories and analysed. The main categories were general and personal data, characteristics portrayed by nurses and activities performed as part of the professional role. Results indicated that overall the portrayed image of Nurses is a negative one which continues to enforce the traditional broad stereotypes held of Nurses. Namely the 'angel of mercy', sex object, Doctor's handmaiden or battle axe dragon. This study supports the previous American studies and indicates that the image has not changed a great deal since 1979

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?
