Title The context of nursing in New Zealand prisons from historical and contemporary perspectives Type
Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library
Volume Issue Pages 94 pp.
Keywords (down)
Abstract This dissertation by Deborah Alleyne explores the current context of nursing in New Zealand prisons through rediscovering the history of its introduction and development, and review of relevant literature. Prison nursing is recognised as a unique branch of the wider nursing profession by virtue of the environment in which nurses work and the population for whom they provide care. Four key themes are identified from the literature review: custody versus caring; nurses' relationship with custody staff; nurses' relationship with prisoners; isolation.

Title Nursing and living in rural New Zealand communities: an interpretive descriptive study Type
Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library
Volume Issue Pages 116pp
Keywords (down)
Abstract A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the degree of Master of Nursing at Otago Polytechnic, Dunedin, New Zealand. June 2007

This study used an interpretive descriptive method to gain insight into and

explore key issues for rural nurses working and living in the same

community. Four Rural Nurse Specialists were recruited as participants. The

nurses had lived and nursed in the same rural community for a minimum of

12 months. Participants were interviewed face to face and their transcribed

interviews underwent thematic analysis.

The meta-theme was: the distinctive nature of rural nursing. The themes

identified were: interwoven professional and personal roles; complex role of

rural nurses and relationships with the community. A conceptual model was

developed to capture the relationship between the meta-theme and the

themes. A definition for rural nursing was developed from the findings.

This research identified some points of difference in this group of rural

nurses from the available rural nursing literature. It also provides a better

understanding of the supports Rural Nurse Specialists need to be successful

in their roles, particularly around the recruitment and retention of the rural

nursing workforce.
