Title Wellness for all: The possibilities of cultural safety and cultural competence in New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Journal of Research in Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 13 Issue (down) 2 Pages 125-135
Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing models; Cross-cultural comparison; Maori
Abstract The author contends that responses to cultural diversity in nursing need to consider the theory and practice developments of the profession, whilst also responding to broader social and historical process that prevent marginalised groups from utilising universal health services. A combination of approaches is suggested in this paper to meet these two imperatives. Cultural safety is one indigenous New Zealand nursing approach derived in response to inequalities for Maori, whereas cultural competence is an imported paradigm derived from a multicultural context. Furthermore, research and dialogue are required to examine points of complementarity and tension. This paper offers a beginning for this process.

Title Characterising Maori nursing practice Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal
Volume 22 Issue (down) 2 Pages 203-213
Keywords Registered nurses; Maori; Nursing models; Culture
Abstract This paper summarises research which addresses the question What might constitute Maori nursing practice? The research design adopted was influenced by kaupapa Maori methodology and used a semi-structured, qualitative, in-depth interview process. It was found that by understanding the current experiences of Maori registered nurses, their reflections on their preparation for practice, and their current practice, it is possible to identify the present and future training and practice needs of Maori nurses. Maori nursing practice can be characterised as having five features: the promotion of cultural affirmation including cultural awareness and identity; the support of, and access to Maori networks; the adoption of Maori models of health; the enabling of visibility and pro-activity as Maori nurses; and, the validation of Maori nurses as effective health professionals. Three recommendations for promoting Maori nursing practice are made in relation to staff in the workplace and in nurse education programmes: all nursing staff need to be alert to: 1. the impact of western scientific models on Maori healthcare; 2. the (often passive) non-acceptance of Maori within mainstream institutions; and iii) the benefits of valuing indigenous nursing programmes.

Title The therapeutic relationship: Historical development and contemporary significance Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Journal of Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 8 Issue (down) 2 Pages 129-137
Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Nursing models; History of nursing; Nurse-patient relations
Abstract This article examines the therapeutic relationship, a concept held by many to be fundamental to the identity of mental health nurses. While the therapeutic relationship was given formal expression in nursing theory in the middle of the last century, its origins can be traced to attendants' interpersonal practices in the asylum era. The dominance of medical understandings of mental distress, and the working-class status of asylum attendants, prevented the development of an account of mental health nursing based on attendants' relationships with asylum inmates. It was left to Peplau and other nursing theorists to describe mental health nursing as a therapeutic relationship in the 1940s and later. Some distinctive features of colonial life in New Zealand suggest that the ideal of the attendant as the embodiment of bourgeoisie values seems particularly unlikely to have been realised in the New Zealand context. However, New Zealand literature from the 20th century shows that the therapeutic relationship, as part of a general development of a therapeutic discourse, came to assume a central place in conceptualisations of mental health nursing. While the therapeutic relationship is not by itself a sufficient basis for professional continuity, it continues to play a fundamental role in mental health nurses' professional identity. The way in which the therapeutic relationship is articulated in the future will determine the meaning of the therapeutic relationship for future generations of mental health nurses.

Title Emotional competence and nursing education : A New Zealand study Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 24 Issue (down) 1 (Mar) Pages 36-47
Keywords Teaching methods; Communication; Nursing; Education; Nursing models
Abstract Explores the challenges encountered by nurse educators who seek to assess aspects related to emotional competence in nursing students. This emotional competence includes nurses managing their own emotional life along with the skill to relate effectively to the multiple colleagues and agencies that nurses work alongside. The research was designed to explore the views of nurse educators about the challenges they encounter when seeking to assess a student's development of emotional competence during the three year bachelor of nursing degree. Focus groups were used to obtain from educators evidence of feeling and opinion as to how theory and practice environments influence student nurses' development of emotional competence. The process of thematic analysis was utilised and three key themes arose as areas of importance to the participants. These were personal and social competence collectively comprises emotional competence in nursing; emotional competence is a key component of fitness to practise; and transforming caring into practice. The findings of the study indicate a need for definition of what emotional competence is in nursing. It is argued that educators and practicing nurses, who work alongside students, must uphold the expectation that emotional competence is a requisite ability and should themselves be able to role model emotionally competent communication.

Title Nurse employment in primary care: UK and New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication New Zealand Family Physician Abbreviated Journal The Royal New Zealand College of General Practitioners website
Volume 35 Issue (down) 1 Pages 4-10
Keywords Primary health care; Scope of practice; Nursing models
Abstract The researchers evaluate and compare the organisation of general practice in the UK and New Zealand. A key aim of the Primary Health Care Strategy is a reduction in health inequalities. Locally, some nurse leaders suggest that changing nurse practice employment from general practitioners to Primary Health Organisations will achieve this aim. The authors take lessons from the UK and suggest that nurses organising themselves into peer groups, remuneration of general practices for the attainment of positive patient outcomes, and a statutory duty of clinical governance, all contributed to the development of practice nurses' roles and expansion of numbers of nurse practitioners in general practice. Nurses have become partners with general practitioners in general practice in the UK, which the authors suggest is a much preferable alternative for some than employment by a Primary Health Organisation.

Title Psychiatric diagnosis: Some implications for mental health nursing care Type Journal Article
Year 2006 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 53 Issue (down) 1 Pages 125-131
Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Diagnosis; Culture; Gender; Socioeconomic factors; Nursing models
Abstract This article explores some of the functions of psychiatric diagnosis and the implications this has for mental health nursing care. It critiques the psychiatric diagnosis as a categorisation process that maintains oppressive power relations within society, by establishing and enforcing normality through gender, culture and class biases. The American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders is used to illustrate some of the inherent biases in the diagnostic process. The author argues that mental health nursing practice needs to demonstrate an awareness of the power relations inherent in any diagnostic process and make attempts to redress these at both the individual and sociopolitical levels. To create a true patient-centred partnership in mental health nursing, the nursing focus should be on the patient's experience rather than the psychiatric diagnosis with which the experience is attributed. NB this is a reprint of article first published in Journal of Advanced Nursing, 2000 Mar; 31(3), 583-9.

Title Psychiatric consultation liaison nurse: A model for practice Type
Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz
Volume Issue (down) Pages
Keywords Nursing models; Psychiatric Nursing
Abstract Psychiatric consultation liaison (PCL) nursing is an evolving specialist area of mental health nursing in the USA, UK, Australia and New Zealand. The aim of this dissertation is to explore models of PCL nursing practice in order to develop and discuss a PCL nursing model applicable to the New Zealand context. The role of the PCL nurse was of particular interest to the author as a new practitioner in this specialist area. While there have been PCL nurses in practice for over 50 years, the literature does not offer much clarity about models of PCL nursing. From a review of the literature, four themes were recurrent in the work of PCL nurses. These themes represent four functions which are vital to the role of the PCL nurse: partnership, expertise of the PCL nurse, therapeutic relationship and organisational consultation. The needs of the patient are the core of this model and the primary objective is to improve the quality of care of patients in the general hospital with co-existing physical and psychological problems. It is imperative that PCL nurses evaluate their practice and embark on research to investigate clinical outcomes, cost effectiveness and the impact of PCL nurse practice on patients and staff. This PCL nursing model provides a beginning for this process. It also clarifies and articulates the role of the PCL nurse which enables the service to be promoted to colleagues. This PCL nursing model represents a critique of the author's understanding of the role of the PCL nurse. As expertise develops, the model will continue to be tested and refined.

Title Model of care development: Moving between liaison and complex care coordination in the community health setting Type
Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue (down) Pages
Keywords Community health nursing; Nursing models
Abstract Healthcare systems in New Zealand and the western world are grappling with changes with an aging population; increased use of technology resulting in shorter inpatient stays, increasing chronic illness rates and people with complex health needs. Supporting people through the health system and meeting their needs is an aim of all services. Trying to support seamless transition and manage complex care requirements has become important for community health services. In the district health board, where the author works, the role of Liaison Nurse/Complex Coordinator was established to support this. This role has become important in reviewing what the best model of care for Community Health Services is and how to describe the current practices in this context in an appropriate way. The first section of the report reviews the literature and current practice in relation to liaison nursing. This section explores how to make the role clear and identify its clinical and organisational effectiveness, drawing out the key elements and aspects for this role that will contribute to a model of care. The second section progresses onto the clinical work related to managing patients with chronic illness and complex needs. Utilising literature to inform current practice when supporting patients through health transitions to achieve seamless care and identifying key aspects required to manage this and adding these aspects to the model of care. Following this, a review of current care models available and in use in the health care systems is undertaken. There are some elements and aspects similar in these models and those explicated in the previous sections. Finally a model of care is developed bringing all the key aspects and elements together. This model describes the practice of Liaison/Complex Coordination role in community health service in New Zealand and identifies the need for care, provision of care, outcomes of care provided and impact for the service and organisation. The author suggests that this model is relevant for any liaison or complex coordination role and could be a basis for other models of care to expand upon the specific needs for their services.
