Abstract |
In New Zealand, there is a festering debate over a theory-practice gap in nursing. Joint appointments present as a potential solution to this issue. Joint appointments refer to a variety of arrangements whereby concurrent employment occurs within an educational institution and a clinical setting.Advantages for the appointees include job satisfaction, and professional growth. Clinical credibility for nurse educators enables improved facilitation of student learning. In clinical areas, benefits in patient care are associated with the marrying of academic rigor with clinical practice. Some appointees input into staff development, act as consultants on nursing issues and undertake research. Disadvantages in the concept focus on role conflict (incongruity between the roles) and role ambiguity (lack of clarity concerning expectations). Success of the ventures depends upon the personal attributes of appointees; realistic expectations; flexibility to allow the concept to evolve; and support from colleagues and management.This research describes a case study of a joint appointment between a nurse lecturer and a senior staff nurse in an acute forensic psychiatry unit. Advantages, disadvantages and reasons for success are discussed in relation to the literature findings. The discussion focuses on the need to develop research methodology to further clarify potential benefits and advantages |

Abstract |
A study of the life histories of five self-identified lesbian women in nursing is reported. A metastory of “In/Visibility” captured the essence of lesbians being the focus of intense scrutiny while at the same time feeling the pressure to keep their lifestyle and identity hidden from others. Seven story themes were elaborated: closeting of lesbianism in nursing, isolating and hiding from self and others, living a double-life, self-loathing and shame, experiencing discrimination from others, keeping safe, and threatening others who are closeted. |

Nursing models; Obesity; Cultural safety |

| |
Abstract |
The authors review the contemporary notion of obesity and suggest that the nursing approach, with an emphasis on treatment, are shaped by a culture located within “western” views of ideal body shape. The biomedical framework regards obesity as disease and obese people as the cause of their own health problems. The authors note varying cultural interpretations of obesity, and suggest that by viewing obesity as a disease, the cultural, social or economic determinants of obesity are not acknowledged. Nursing needs to broaden the concept of the categories of difference to respond in a culturally safe way to obesity. Cultural safety asks that nurses care for people “regardful” of difference. This means nurses must reflect on the care given, so that the biomedical model is not just replicated. Nurse-led clinics offer an opportunity for practices based on nursing values of care and cultural safety. Such clinics are based on nursing's social model of health, rather than a biomedical, disease-focused model. |

Abstract |
The author presents the approach of a nursing team at Christchurch's Princess Margaret Hospital, in the regional specialist service for people with anorexia nervosa. This unit provides the only specialist inpatient unit in the country, consisting of a six or seven-bed facility that shares a unit with a mother and baby unit. A multidisciplinary team of psychiatric nurses, dietitians, occupational therapists, psychiatrists, psychologists and social workers all make significant contributions. The Christchurch unit uses a cognitive-behavioural therapy model (CBT) across the disciplines, a multidimensional approach incorporating psychotherapeutic, psychoeducational, biomedical and behaviourist paradigms. This occurs within a “lenient flexible approach”. Within the Unit, the eight nurses constitute what could be seen as an “intra”-disciplinary team within the wider “inter”-disciplinary or MDT team. They apply an evidence-based nursing approach with a commitment to partnership and advocacy with their patients. They use collaborative techniques for defining shared goals, and the careful management of the introduction of food. As one of the team members, the author envisages that the job of specialised nurses is to form a therapeutic alliance with patients, which takes account of the dynamic ways that patients may negotiate their own complex understandings of health, care, and recovery. |
