| Title | Diabetes care: Practice nurse roles, attitudes and concerns | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2004 | Publication | Journal of Advanced Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 48 | Issue | 11 | Pages  |
68-75 |
| Keywords | Diabetes Type 2; Practice nurses; Attitude of health personnel; Primary health care | ||||
| Abstract | The aim of this paper is to report a study to compare the diabetes-related work roles, training and attitudes of practice nurses in New Zealand surveyed in 1990 and 1999, to consider whether barriers to practice nurse diabetes care changed through that decade, and whether ongoing barriers will be addressed by current changes in primary care. Questionnaires were mailed to all 146 practice nurses in South Auckland in 1990 and to all 180 in 1999, asking about personal and practice descriptions, practice organisation, time spent with patients with diabetes, screening practices, components of care undertaken by practice nurses, difficulties and barriers to good practice, training in diabetes and need for further education. The 1999 questionnaire also asked about nurse prescribing and influence on patient quality of life. More nurses surveyed in 1999 had post-registration diabetes training than those in 1990, although most of those surveyed in both years wanted further training. In 1999, nurses looked after more patients with diabetes, without spending more time on diabetes care than nurses in 1990. Nevertheless, they reported increased involvement in the more complex areas of diabetes care. Respondents in 1999 were no more likely than those in 1990 to adjust treatment, and gave a full range of opinion for and against proposals to allow nurse prescribing. The relatively low response rate to the 1990 survey may lead to an underestimate of changes between 1990 and 1999. Developments in New Zealand primary care are likely to increase the role of primary health care nurses in diabetes. Research and evaluation is required to ascertain whether this increasing role translates into improved outcomes for patients. | ||||

| Title | Grief as a transformative experience: Weaving through different lifeworlds after a loved one has completed suicide | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | International Journal of Mental Health Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 12 | Issue | 1 | Pages |

| Keywords | Grief; Psychology; Nursing specialties; Suicide | ||||
| Abstract | This research is an exploration and interpretation of the lived experiences of family members since they lost a close family member to suicidal death. The findings have implications for nurses and counsellors working in the area of suicide bereavement. Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology was utilised and informed by van Manen's and Benner's work. Data from in-depth interviews with six participants, the researcher's journal entries and published literature were analysed. Findings gave rise to a grief model where suicide survivors moved through four modes of being-in-the-world characterized by 13 lifeworlds or themes. Surviving suicide was a transformative process that in time enabled survivors to discover new ways of understanding and relating to the world. | ||||

| Title | The attitudes, knowledge and skills needed in mental health nurses: The perspective of users of mental health services | Type | Journal Article | ||

| Volume | 14 | Issue | 2 | Pages |

| Keywords | Patient satisfaction; Psychiatric Nursing; Attitude of health personnel | ||||
| Abstract | In this study a qualitative descriptive methodology with focus group interviews was used to explore with users of mental health services, the attitudes, knowledge and skills that they need in mental health nurses. Users of mental health services valued the therapeutic work of mental health nurses, and identified positive attitudes towards users of mental health services as essential in mental health nurses. However, they did not consistently experience a therapeutic approach in their interactions with mental health nurses. In a sociopolitical climate where the views of users of mental health services are increasingly incorporated into education and the planning and delivery of services, there is a need for more research that reflects the perspective of users. | ||||

| Title | Evaluation of a change programme: model of nursing care delivery | Type | |||
| Year | 2009 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | ||
| Volume | Issue | Pages |
78 pp | ||
| Keywords | |||||
| Abstract | A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Health Sciences. Primary nursing as a framework within which nurses deliver patient care has been a nursing care delivery system of choice in New Zealand for the last two decades. A number of studies have been carried out, with a review of the literature suggesting inconclusive support for this delivery system over other functional nursing care models. However, there is support for the philosophy underpinning this model, with documented evidence that this framework can help nurses achieve a degree of professional development and autonomous practice that other models cannot. Using documented information created during the move from one model of nursing care to another this work evaluates what were the drivers for the change, how it was managed and what the outcomes were. Findings indicated that this change project was a success. Analysis of the data collected pre and post implementation indicated some positive shifts, but more importantly it was the information gathered from both patients and nurses that gave creditability to the new model of nursing care. |
