Jamieson, I., Andrew, C., & King, J. (2021). Keeping our borders safe: The social stigma of nursing in managed isolation and quarantine border facilities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Nursing Praxis in Aotearoa New Zealand, 37(3).
Abstract: Reports a qualitative, single-centre descriptive study of the experiences of nurses
working in managed isolation and quarantine facilities (MIQFs)in Aotearoa New Zealand. Conducts 14 semi-structured interviews, via Zoom, with registered nurses working in MIQFs, focusing on the personal and social impacts on the nurses. Identifies four themes: protecting the community while being a risk to the community; social stigma; families and social connections; being part of, but apart from, other health professionals. Underlines the importance for employers, colleagues, and the wider community of supporting nurses during a pandemic.

Collins, E., & Honey, M. (2021). Access as an enabler and an obstacle to nurses' use of ICT during the COVID-19 pandemic: Results of a national survey. Nursing Praxis in Aotearoa New Zealand, 37(3).
Abstract: Conducts an exploratory study to understand nurses' use of technology during the COVID-19 lockdown, in particular which information and communication technologies (ICT) were being used and how nurses felt about using ICT in their practice.
