Abstract |
A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Nursing at Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin, New Zealand.
As the healthcare system moves toward a consumer-driven paradigm, visiting hours for family and significant others of the intensive care unit patient have become a topic of interest and discussion. Research since the 1970s has generated controversy and speculation over the ideal visiting practices in the adult intensive care unit. Analysis of the growing body of research can now be reviewed to enable existing visiting policies to be revised. |

Abstract |
The focus of this article is on the findings of a grounded theory study of sexual health nursing in New Zealand. Nurses' experiences of providing sexual health care are described and theoretical explanations generated. The emphasis in this article is on countering stigma which emerged as a recurrent problem for nurses in the study. A comparative analysis of the nurses' counter reactions with Gilmore and Somerville's (1994) model of stigmatised reactions towards people with sexually transmitted diseases was done. The model describes the processes of disidentification, depersonalisation, scapegoating, and discrimination, which characterise stigmatised reactions. Nurses' understandings of the impact of socioeconomic conditions and gender/power relations in society have an important role to play in how nurses manage care. The concept of destigmatisation, which seeks to counteract negative social attitudes, is discussed. The study showed that as a consequence of their work nurses in this study encountered professional stigma and marginalisation. |

Abstract |
A workplace safety study of district nurses in New Zealand was conducted to explore personal safety experiences. A qualitative methodology informed by Critical Social Theory was employed. This paper details the findings and implications derived from data collected from six district nurses in two urban New Zealand health services who recalled incidents in which they felt their personal safety was compromised. Data were collected through individual interviews and a focus group discussion with the participants. Data analysis revealed two-fold risks to nurse safety; these were associated with client behaviour as well as risks embedded in the organisational structure. The findings suggest a number of practical issues involving basic security measures require urgent attention. The complex power relationships that shape the experience of nursing in a community impinged on the ability of the nurses in this study to confidently and safely fulfil their role. An organisational commitment to a culture of safety would help address the powerlessness experienced by district nurses. |

Abstract |
This study aimed to identify how graduates perceived their clinical performance during their first year of practice. A convenience sample of 30 graduates was surveyed after 3 months and 7 months in practice, using an adapted form of a questionnaire devised by Ryan and Hodson (1992). The results showed that over time, graduates generally required less direction in all areas of clinical competence. After 7 months in practice, the majority of the graduates rated their performance in nursing skills, communication skills, and professionalism at the expected level or above. However, some still required direction with using theory and research in practice, with meeting client's psychosocial needs and with teaching clients. In the leadership competency, after 7 months, most graduates saw themselves functioning at the expected level related to client care and needed less direction in unit management skills. However, many of the unit management skills were rated as 'not applicable' indicating that new graduates are not initially placed in a management role. Implications for nursing education and limitations of the research are discussed. |
