| Keywords | Surgery; Evidence-based medicine; Nursing; Guidelines | ||||
| Abstract | The author presents her experience investigating the incidence of post-anaesthetic shaking in the recovery room ward, and develops a clinical tool for its treatment. Several theories about post-anaesthetic shaking are examined. The cases of 1296 patients who had major regional or general anaesthetics over four consecutive months in the previous year are studied. The incidence of post-anaesthetic shaking and correlating core body temperature readings with post-anaesthetic shaking are examined. A protocol for reducing/treating post-anaesthetic shaking is developed on the basis of the findings of the study. | ||||

| Title | Ginger compress therapy for adults with osteoarthritis | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2010 | Publication | Journal of Advanced Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 66 | Issue |

| Keywords | Ginger compress therapy; Giorgi?s method; nursing; osteoarthritis | ||||
| Abstract | Abstract Aim. This paper is a report of a study to explicate the phenomenon of ginger compresses for people with osteoarthritis. Background. Osteoarthritis is claimed to be the leading cause of musculoskeletal pain and disability in Western society. Management ideally combines non-pharmacological strategies, including complementary therapies and pain-relieving medication. Ginger has been applied externally for over a thousand years in China to manage arthritis symptoms. Method. Husserlian phenomenological methodology was used and the data were collected in 2007. Ten purposively selected adults who had suffered osteoarthritis for at least a year kept daily diaries and made drawings, and follow-up interviews and telephone conversations were conducted. Findings. Seven themes were identified in the data: (1) Meditative-like stillness and relaxation of thoughts; (2) Constant penetrating warmth throughout the body; (3) Positive change in outlook; (4) Increased energy and interest in the world; (5) Deeply relaxed state that progressed to a gradual shift in pain and increased interest in others; (6) Increased suppleness within the body and (7) More comfortable, flexible joint mobility. The essential experience of ginger compresses exposed the unique qualities of heat, stimulation, anti-inflammation and analgesia. Conclusion. Nurses could consider this therapy as part of a holistic treatment for people with osteoarthritis symptoms. Controlled research is needed with larger numbers of older people to explore further the effects of the ginger compress therapy. |

| Title | Evaluating a problem based learning course: An action research study | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2001 | Publication | Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 10 | Issue |
1/2 | Pages | 30-38 |
| Keywords | Nursing; Education; Teaching methods | ||||
| Abstract | The purpose of this study was to evaluate how the New Zealand style of problem based learning was developing students' understanding and integration of knowledge. The 'pure' problem based learning process has been adapted to move students gradually from teacher direction to taking responsibility for their learning. Two cycles of an action research method were used, involving 4 lecturers and 17 students. Data was collected both quantitatively and qualitatively over a 16-week period. Findings indicated the importance of: explaining the purpose and process of problem based learning; communicating in detail the role of both students and lecturers; keeping communication lines open; addressing timetabling issues and valuing this method of learning for nursing practice. Implications for nursing education are addressed. | ||||

| Title | Health assessment and its relationship to nursing practice in New Zealand | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2001 | Publication | Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 10 | Issue |
1/2 | Pages | 7-11 |
| Keywords | Nursing; Education; Professional competence; Nurse practitioners; Cross-cultural comparison | ||||
| Abstract | This article draws on Australian experience to gain insight to three specific areas of health assessment that are topical in New Zealand, which has recently introduced the concept into nursing training. The issues are annual registration based on evidence of competence to practice, a review of undergraduate curricula, and the development of nurse practitioner/advanced nurse practitioner roles. The meaning of the concept 'health assessment' is also clarified in order to provide consistency as new initiatives in nursing are currently being developed. | ||||

| Title | Family violence: Walking the tight rope between maternal alienation and child safety | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2005 | Publication | Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 18 | Issue |
1-2 | Pages | 85-96 |
| Keywords | Nursing; Domestic violence; Nurse-patient relations; Children | ||||
| Abstract | This paper discusses the complexity of family violence for nurses negotiating the 'tight rope' between the prime concern for the safety of children and further contributing to maternal alienation, within a New Zealand context. The premise that restoration of the mother-child relationship is paramount for the long-term wellbeing of both the children and the mother provides the basis for discussing implications for nursing practice. Evidence shows that when mothers are supported and have the necessary resources there is a reduction in the violence and abuse she and her children experience; this occurs even in situations where the mother is the primary abuser of her children. The family-centred care philosophy, which is widely accepted as the best approach to nursing care for children and their families, creates tension for nurses caring for children who are the victims of abuse as this care generally occurs away from the context of the family. | ||||

| Title | Women and cardiac rehabilitation: A review of the literature | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 16 | Issue |
1-2 | Pages | 92-101 |
| Keywords | Cardiovascular diseases; Gender; Nursing; Research | ||||
| Abstract | This literature review explores some of the issues related to women's experience of cardiac rehabilitation and demonstrates that women's experience may be different to that of men. Much of the research related to coronary heart disease (CHD) has been performed using either exclusively male populations or such small numbers of women that the results from the women studied were unable to be analysed independently. The author advocates that nurses working within this area of practice require an understanding of women's experience of recovery from a heart attack in order to better meet their needs. | ||||

| Title | Obesity in pre-school children: Issues and challenges for community based child health nurses | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2004 | Publication | Contemporary Nurse | Abbreviated Journal | |
| Volume | 18 | Issue |
1-2 | Pages | 145-151 |
| Keywords | Obesity; Children; Community health nursing; Parents and caregivers | ||||
| Abstract | In this paper, literature related to childhood obesity in New Zealand and internationally is explored to identify current issues, and the implications for nurses in community based child health practice are discussed. Themes that emerged from the literature relate to the measurement of obesity, links between childhood and adult obesity and issues for families. Studies that investigated maternal perceptions of childhood obesity found that mothers identified their child as being overweight or obese only when it imposed limitations on physical activity or when the children were teased rather than by referring to individual growth graphs. The implications for nursing in the area of child health practice are discussed. Understanding of the complex and emotive issues surrounding childhood obesity is required when devising health promotion strategies. | ||||

| Keywords | Primary health care; School nursing; Nurse managers | ||||
| Abstract | The study outlined here explored outcomes from the provision of primary health care to children aged 5-13 years in a nurse-led clinic based in a primary school in Auckland. This multi-faceted study collected both qualitative and quantitative data, however it is the results of the quantitative arm of the study that are presented here. Data were collected from a variety of sources concerning conditions seen, age and ethnicity of users, types of services provided and impact on hospital usage. Findings demonstrate that the provision of comprehensive primary health care by the nurse at the clinic impacts positively on hospital visitation by children from the area where the clinic is located. | ||||

| 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 |
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 |
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. | ||||
