Abstract |
The author draws on her experience as the 'Paediatric Link Nurse' in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU) within a metropolitan area in New Zealand to examine the proposed changes to ventilation practice. Currently, due to ventilator availability and medical and nursing practice, the usual mode of mechanical ventilation is volume-limited with pressure breath triggering. The author suggests this mode can compromise effective ventilation of paediatric patients, due to air leaks around the uncuffed endotracheal tubes of infants and small children. This air leak makes a guaranteed tidal volume almost impossible and can cause ventilator breath stacking and volutrauma. This can impact on the patient's comfort, sedation requirements and airway security, and affects how these patients are nursed. Thus the ventilation of these paediatric patients by the current volume-limiting mode may be not always be optimal for the infant/child. A new ventilator will be available to the unit, with a pressure-controlled, flow breath-triggering mode available. The author critiques the possibility of using this mode of ventilation, suggesting how this will impact on nursing practice in ICU, and of the education and knowledge that will be required. She suggests this change to ventilation practice may improve comfort and safety for the intubated child/infant, through the delivery of an optimal mode of ventilation. |

Abstract |
This article describes the effect of an education programme for Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) staff, developed as part of the roll out of revised clinical guidelines. In 2005, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation released advisory statements and a revised universal algorithm for Infant, Child and Adult Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR). Subsequently the New Zealand Resuscitation Council developed and disseminated revised guidelines for use within the New Zealand Healthcare System. Within the PICU the challenge of integrating new practice standards whilst ensuring compliance with CPR guidelines, was how to disseminate information to over 80 staff nurses working 12 hour shifts. Following implementation of an education programme, a survey completed by 20 staff members demonstrated that staff felt well supported with the introduction of the new CPR guidelines (90%) and confident that they understood the changes to the resuscitation guidelines (90%). Staff identified that the poster display (95%) and the mail sleeve “flyer” (80%) helped them understand the changes to CPR. |

Abstract |
This article draws on Australian experience to gain insight to three specific areas of health assessment that are topical in New Zealand, which has recently introduced the concept into nursing training. The issues are annual registration based on evidence of competence to practice, a review of undergraduate curricula, and the development of nurse practitioner/advanced nurse practitioner roles. The meaning of the concept 'health assessment' is also clarified in order to provide consistency as new initiatives in nursing are currently being developed. |

The author examines some of the issues affecting preceptorship in relation to a graduate diploma programme of psychiatric mental health nursing. Previous research by the author lead to recommendations on clarifying the roles and responsibilities of those involved in the programme, and improving preceptor selection, training, support and evaluation. By providing such clarity and support, the preceptor role in the clinical setting is given the best chance to succeed. |

Abstract |
The objective of this study was to conduct research to inform the development of standards for nurse practitioner education in Australia and New Zealand and to contribute to the international debate on nurse practitioner practice. The research was conducted in all states of Australia where the nurse practitioner is authorised, and in New Zealand. The research was informed by multiple data sources including nurse practitioner programme curricula documents from relevant universities in Australia and New Zealand, interviews with academic convenors of these programmes and interviews with nurse practitioners. Findings include support for masters level of education as preparation for the nurse practitioner. These programs need to have a strong clinical learning component and in-depth education for the sciences of specialty practice. Additionally an important aspect of education for the nurse practitioner is the centrality of student directed and flexible learning models. This approach is well supported by the literature on capability. |

This project is a study of the barriers perceived by perioperative nurses to accessing and using research-based information. A survey questionnaire was distributed to 184 perioperative nurses working in five public and two private hospitals in the Auckland area. The number of completed questionnaires was 106 (57.6%). The results showed that the lack of time during work hours was ranked as the highest barrier. The results also showed that many nurses feel they do not have the skills to find and appraise research articles. |
