Title Meihana model: A clinical assessment framework Type Journal Article
Year 2007 Publication New Zealand Journal of Psychology Abbreviated Journal
Volume 36 Issue 3 Pages (down) 118-125
Keywords Nursing models; Clinical assessment; Maori; Mental health
Abstract In 1984 Mason Durie documented a framework for understanding Maori health, Te Whare Tapa Wha, which has subsequently become embedded in Maori health policy. This article presents a specific assessment framework, the Meihana Model, which encompasses the four original cornerstones of Te Whare Tapa Wha, and inserts two additional elements. These form a practice model (alongside Maori beliefs, values and experiences) to guide clinical assessment and intervention with Maori clients and whanau accessing mental health services. This paper outlines the rationale for and background of the Meihana Model and then describes each dimension: whanau, wairua, tinana, hinengaro, taiao and iwi katoa. The model provides a basis for a more comprehensive assessment of clients/whanau to underpin appropriate treatment decisions.

Title An integrated literature review of the role of the nurse practitioner in the emergency department Type
Year 2011 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library
Volume Issue Pages (down) 115 pp
Keywords
Abstract A dissertation in partial fulfilment of Master Health Sciences (Clinical)through University of Otago

The nurse practitioner is one of the newest nursing health care professionals to be introduced to the New Zealand health system for many years. Eighty-six nurse practitioners are credentialed in New Zealand, with three working in urban Emergency Department settings. Nurse Practitioners are common internationally especially in the United States, Canada, United Kingdom and Australia. The purpose of this integrated literature review is to explore current research and literature in regards to the Emergency Department Nurse Practitioner, and their role within emergency settings. This review presents the growth and development of the nurse practitioner as an advanced practice nursing position. Four key themes emerge from the literature review; education of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner , how and who defined the Emergency Nurse Practitioner role, practice setting of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner, and what the barriers are to independent practice. The economic, legal and governance aspects of the Nurse Practitioner role are also portrayed. This integrated review documents the potential for further development and expansion of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner scope of practice to provide a broad range of patient care services within Emergency Departments, and emergency care settings. Future research is essential for the promotion of autonomous practice of the Emergency Nurse Practitioner within the international and New Zealand health care system.

Title The meaning of effective education for critical care nursing practice: A thematic analysis Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Australian Critical Care Abbreviated Journal
Volume 17 Issue 3 Pages (down) 114, 116-2
Keywords Hospitals; Nursing; Education; Nursing specialties
Abstract Using thematic analysis, this study explored the phenomenon of effective education for critical care nursing practice by asking: What does effective education for critical care nursing practice mean to nurses currently practising in the specialty? Eighty eight critical care nurses from the South Island provided written descriptions of what effective education for critical care nursing practice meant to them. Descriptive statements were analysed to reveal constituents, themes and essences of meaning. Four core themes of personal quality, practice quality, the learning process and learning needs emerged. Appropriateness or relevance for individual learning needs is further identified as an essential theme within the meaning of effective education for critical care nursing practice. Shared experiences of the phenomenon are made explicit and discussed with reference to education and practice development in the specialty. The study results lend support to education that focuses on individual learning needs, and identifies work based learning as a potential strategy for learning and practice development in critical care nursing.

Title Casualization of the nursing workforce: A New Zealand perspective on an international phenomenon Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication International Journal of Nursing Practice Abbreviated Journal
Volume 7 Issue 2 Pages (down) 104-108
Keywords Industrial relations; Organisational change; Nursing; Personnel staffing and scheduling
Abstract A discussion of the increased use of 'casual' nursing staff (those nurses employed on a casual or 'per diem' basis) is presented. Reference is made to related literature, together with consideration of the implications associated with this trend. This issue has international significance, with the increased use of casual staff being widely recognised. A New Zealand perspective is included, with the provision of nursing care at Christchurch Hospital presented to illustrate certain aspects of the discussion. The impact of changing health-care systems and increased emphasis on efficiency and accountability are identified. This change to workplace practice will inevitably affect nursing; possible future developments are considered.

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 (down) 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 Practical application of the Delphi technique in a bicultural mental health nursing study in New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 46 Issue 1 Pages (down) 95-109
Keywords Clinical assessment; Biculturalism; Professional competence; Psychiatric Nursing; Maori
Abstract The aim of this paper is to detail the practical application of the Delphi technique as a culturally and clinically valid means of accessing expert opinion on the importance of clinical criteria. Reference is made to a bicultural New Zealand mental health nursing clinical indicator study that employed a three-round reactive Delphi survey. Equal proportions of Maori and non-Maori nurses (n = 20) and consumers (n = 10) rated the importance of 91 clinical indicator statements for the achievement of professional practice standards. Additional statements (n = 21) suggested by Delphi participants in round 1 were included in subsequent rounds. In round 2, participants explained the rating they applied to statements that had not reached consensus in round 1, and summarised responses were provided to participants in round 3. Consensus was considered to have been achieved if 85% of round 3 ratings lay within a 2-point bracket on the 5-point Likert-scale overall, or in one of the Maori nurse, non-Maori nurse, or consumer groups. A mean rating of 4.5 after round 3 was set as the importance threshold. Consensus occurred overall on 75 statements, and within groups on another 24. Most statements (n = 86) reached the importance benchmark. The authors conclude that when rigorous methods of participant selection, group composition, participant feedback, and determination of consensus and importance are employed, the Delphi technique is a reliable, cost-effective means of obtaining and prioritising experts' judgements.

Title Puzzling practice: A strategy for working with clinical practice issues Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication International Journal of Law and Psychiatry Abbreviated Journal
Volume 14 Issue 2 Pages (down) 94-100
Keywords Nursing philosophy; Clinical decision making; Problem solving
Abstract The authors share the evolution of innovative ways to explore, 'unpack' and re-frame clinical issues that exist in everyday practice. The elements of these processes, which they call 'puzzling practice', and the techniques associated with them, were delineated over a two year period by the authors using action theory based processes. The authors have evolved several different frameworks for 'puzzling practice' which they draw on and use in their practice development work and in research practice. This paper pays attention to a particular form of puzzling practice that they found to be useful in assisting individual clinicians and teams to explore and find workable solutions to practice issues. In this example 'puzzling practice' uses seven different elements; naming the issue; puzzling the issue; testing the puzzle; exploring the heart of out practice; formulating the puzzle question; visualising the future; and generating new strategies for action. Each of the elements is illustrated by the story and the key foundations and ideas behind each element is explored.

Title Flexible monitoring in the management of patient care process: A pilot study Type Journal Article
Year 2000 Publication Lippincott's Case Management Abbreviated Journal
Volume 5 Issue 3 Pages (down) 94-106
Keywords Hospitals; Cardiovascular diseases; Nursing
Abstract This article describes a study conducted on the internal medicine, general surgical, and vascular wards of a large metropolitan hospital to assess the impact of a networked monitoring system and portable patient monitors. This pilot study was developed to address the needs of hospital patients who require continuous non-invasive vital signs monitoring (including heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, cardiac waveform monitoring) with the addition of surveillance from a cardiac intensive care area. Data were collected from 114 patients over a three-month period to identify a patient group that could be managed appropriately under the new system and to determine the effect that flexible monitoring had on patient care management. Findings include identification of a specific patient group that can be managed successfully outside the cardiac intensive care area using this system. Other findings suggest a way to improve the management of patient monitoring in the general ward areas.
