Abstract |
The environment of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a stressful one for families and is often designed to provide technical care for the infant rather than facilities that would enable and support parental and family participation in infant care. Furthermore, the author notes that the environment of the NICU emerged in literature as an obstacle to meaningful family involvement in care. However, she goes on to say that a philosophy of Family Centred Care in the NICU can offer a framework of care that supports family involvement in the infant's care and family presence in the NICU. It also promotes parental participation in decision-making for the infant and gives recognition to the importance of perspectives provided by the family. This dissertation explores the difficulties associated with the practice of Family Centred Care in the environment of the NICU. It offers recommendations for features of unit design that can promote Family Centred Care by supporting and sustaining the presence of families in the NICU and therefore facilitating their involvement in the care of their infant. |

Abstract |
This dissertation considers the implications of the relationship between nurses and the patient's family, when family members visit intensive care units (ICUs) following the acute admission of a relative there. In particular it explores the issues of power and control, nurses might have in this setting, the culture that supports that, and the implications this has for practice in the New Zealand context. A comprehensive literature review on the perspective of nurses in relation to relatives visiting adult intensive care units was conducted. The author concludes that nurses modify policies related to visiting access for family members to suit themselves, and the needs of their patient. Nurses use a variety of tactics to maintain a position of power and control by looking out for themselves first, their patient second, and relatives third. The need of the patient and their families is not well understood by nurses, and nurses feel they have inadequate skills to cope with the needs and stresses of visiting relatives. The author suggests that for nurses to provide family focused care in ICU they must develop a therapeutic relationship with all concerned. ICU nursing culture affects nurses ability to focus on caring for their patients and their families. Nurses in ICU appear to need to maintain power and control over their environment but further research is needed to identify the current situation in New Zealand ICUs. |

Abstract |
This dissertation explores the assessment of nurses' clinical competence in the adult ICU setting. Specifically, methods for the assessment of competence are critiqued for their practical application to the novice nurse with less than six months experience in ICU. The assessment methods considered are continuous clinical assessment, self-assessment, peer review, objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), portfolio and computer assisted assessment. Several criteria are applied to the methods including the ability of each method to assess skills, knowledge and attitudes or values. Each method is critiqued for its implications in terms of cost and staffing resource, benefits and barriers to implementation. In addition, reliability and validity issues are considered for each method. The outcome of this exploration is the recommendation of a combination of methods; namely, portfolio and OSCE, for the assessment of competence in the ICU novice. The author concludes that this finding enhances current understanding within the ICU specialty of the multidimensional nature of competence assessment. |

Abstract |
The focus for this research was nursing culture satisfaction and intent to remain working within a secondary hospital in the New Zealand public healthcare system. A specific group of 117 registered and enrolled nurses were surveyed to identify what issues would encourage them to remain working within the organisation. Descriptive data derived from the Nursing Culture Satisfaction Questionnaire found higher levels of job satisfaction and intention to stay from the staff in operating theatre, compared to other surveyed areas. Factors reported as contributing to job satisfaction included supportive, friendly staff, teamwork, and organisation size. Important issues regarding recruitment and retention include pay parity, personal satisfaction, conditions of employment, the valuing of staff and poor nurse patient ratios. Findings suggest that hospital management should foster positive work environments and respect, to promote job satisfaction and discourage nurses leaving the organisation. While pay parity was a large issue at the time of the questionnaire, the inclusion of the district health board in the nurse Multi Employer Collective Agreement may have reduced this as a contributing factor. |

Abstract |
Changes within the New Zealand health system have led to an emphasis on primary health care. The New Zealand government and the Southland District Health Board have identified that nurses can make significant contribution to improving the primary health outcomes for New Zealanders. However, within Southland there exist barriers to nurses influencing health outcomes. A Southland draft Primary Health Care Nursing Strategic Plan 2005 recommended that the employment of a primary health care nursing leader would reduce these barriers and lead to a comprehensive primary health care nursing service. This dissertation argues, using literature, that the employment of a transformative nursing leader, using a facilitative style, would implement changes that would develop a community responsive nursing service, establish a primary health care educational structure and ensure quality nursing care. Successful implementation would occur as the leader facilitates experiential learning within groups and with individuals to review current experiences and implement transformative primary health care nursing changes that improves health for all. The dissertation introduces the background to the changing primary health care environment in New Zealand and to the Southland current situation in chapter one. Chapter two describes the unique features of transformative leadership style and how it is applies to nursing and specifically to Southland's changing primary health care environment. The chapter specifically emphasises the role of and the art of facilitation which is a critical transformative leadership process. Chapter three describes the process of the experiential learning cycle, which the author argues will improve health outcomes, when used by the transformative leader to enable nurses to learn from their experiences and make nursing changes that improve health care. Chapter four addresses the dissertation question by describing how transformative leadership will facilitate the experiential learning process to Southlanders and improve health outcomes, reduce inequalities and increase accessibility through a comprehensive primary health care nursing service. |

Abstract |
The author describes the purpose of her writing as exploring the journeys that Maori have experienced within the nursing profession of Aotearoa/New Zealand. It presents the reader with insight into these journeys by examining a broad range of events and experiences from pre European contact up to contemporary times. The intention of providing these insights is for the reader to be made aware of not only the “uniqueness” that Maori nurses bring to the profession in New Zealand but to give voice to the many untold experiences of Maori nurses. The Nursing Council of New Zealand (NCNZ), numerous Maori and non- Maori academics have long acknowledged the uniqueness of Maori health perspectives and needs. However, the author notes there is limited literature which specifically discusses experiences of Maori consumers of health services and until recently, exploration of the experiences of Maori nurses has been limited. The Ministerial Taskforce of Nursing (1998) identified the paucity of research related to Maori nursing and acknowledges the need for Maori nurses to develop a body of knowledge specifically focused in this area. To this end, the author intended that this work would contribute to the increasing body of knowledge regarding this unique group within the nursing profession of Aotearoa/New Zealand.The discussion includes revisiting the history of nursing in Aotearoa/New Zealand and critiquing the participation of Maori nurses. The experiences of Maori nurses and students from within the education sector is detailed with a particular focus on their experiences of Kawa Whakaruruhau / Cultural safety. Contemporary issues for Maori nurses are critiqued and possible solutions offered along with details of the writer's vision for the future direction of Maori within the wider nursing profession in Aotearoa/New Zealand. |

Abstract |
The last twenty years, particularly the early 1990s, ushered in major mental health sector reforms inclusive of deinstitutionalisation policies and subsequent development of community services. Concurrent changes to student nurses' education left registered nurses as the workforce mainstay on inpatient units. However, the author suggests, an emerging global shortage of nurses and implementation of the Employment Contracts Act (1991) negatively impacted on recruitment and retention of registered nurses. Inpatient nurses either left nursing or moved to community positions for better money and increased job status. The author suggests that, as a consequence, the 'critical mass' of experienced and skilled nurses who traditionally provided nursing leadership disappeared resulting in compromised standards of care for patients. As the manager of an inpatient unit, the author proposed the establishment of advanced nursing practice roles as one initiative to provide nursing leadership in order to attract and retain nurses. This study explored five inpatient nurses' perceptions of advanced practice and whether these roles could assist to provide leadership and improve standards of care. The research was a qualitative exploratory descriptive study using a focus group interview as the data collection method. A thematic analysis of the group discussion transcription revealed three key themes: 1) the 'makeup' of advanced nursing practice, 2) moving forwards: establishing roles, 3) moving sideways: barriers to role development. The themes are critically discussed in relation to selected literature. The thesis includes recommendations that could be used by nurses responsible for planning and implementing advanced practice roles on inpatient units. |

Abstract |
The author's interest in this study came from working as a mental health nurse with mainly older women with depression and developed from her concern that depression for older people is frequently misdiagnosed, not recognised or is under-treated. To date, research has rarely paid attention to the voices of people who have actually experienced depression and even less is known from the perspective of older women. This hermeneutic phenomenological study, informed by Martin Heidegger and Max van Manen, describes what it is like for four older women to live with depression. Multiple interviews were conducted with the participants. Heidegger's philosophical concepts of Being-in-the-world and Being-with-others structured the analysis. Depression was found to have a significant effect on the participants' Being-in-the-world. The themes that emerged were: something is wrong; the search for reasons; self-loathing; being overwhelmed by the feelings; hiding from the world; loss of self; loss of meaning; the struggle of everyday life; and living circumspectly. Being-with-others was difficult for the participants and the themes that emerged were: maintaining relationships when well; Being-alone; misinterpreting self and other people; the stigma of mental illness – society and self; and seeking understanding from other people. The author suggests that the findings have implications for nurses and other health professionals. |

Abstract |
The Guthrie Test has become the standard screening test for early detection of congenital metabolic disorders for newborn babies in New Zealand and is an accepted part of neonatal care. In neonatal care, decisions are made on behalf of babies usually by their parents and, for the Guthrie Test there is a requirement that health professionals obtain informed consent. This qualitative research utilised focus group methodology to discover what neonatal nurses in clinical practice consider when obtaining informed consent from parents for newborn screening, the Guthrie Test. The convenience sample consisted of seven registered nurses who volunteered to participate in the study. They all practice in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit at Dunedin Public Hospital that provides Level 3 intensive care to neonates in the Otago/Southland regions. There are proven benefits of the current newborn screening programme and in the experience of this focus group not many parents choose to refuse. These neonatal nurses identified the rights of parents to have that choice and to make an informed decision. The findings from this research indicate the importance neonatal nurses place on patients' rights and the information provided to ensure that their rights are respected. However, the results indicated that there is a need for clarification of the purpose and process of informed consent for the Guthrie Test in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Therefore providing sufficient, relevant information at an appropriate time and manner is considered necessary. The findings will be used to inform discussion related to the provision of best practice. |

Abstract |
Use of health assessment skills is undeniably part of everyday nursing practice, guiding nursing decisions and a part of facilitating patient outcomes. Undergraduate nursing education in New Zealand includes the use of health assessment skills within the context of nursing practice. The registered nurse working in their first year of practice is required to use effective assessment skills to identify potential risks to a patient's health, while learning to adjust to the many other demands of practice, but little research has explored these experiences. The purpose of this research study was to describe the experience of using health assessment skills within the first year of practice as a registered nurse. Using a qualitative descriptive method, informed by phenomenology, interviews were conducted with six newly graduated registered nurses working within a New Zealand setting. Findings of this study revealed that graduates endeavour to incorporate the skills of health assessment taught at undergraduate level into their practice. Six main themes of health assessment philosophy; tuning in; mobilising health assessment skills; recognition; anxiety; and identification and facilitation of outcomes can be aligned with Benner's (1984) model of skill acquisition. The author suggests that these research findings are useful to inform nursing education, clinical practice and further research. An awareness of these graduate experiences provides opportunities for nurses in both clinical practice and education to facilitate and support graduate nurses' of health assessment within their nursing practice. |

Abstract |
New graduate nurses, particularly in the first year of clinical practice, face challenges with making clinical decisions about patient care. A review of the literature revealed no studies that reported using fundamental qualitative descriptive methodology to investigate new graduate nurses' clinical decision making. Aspects of decision making by new graduates have been studied using observational and interview methods, the findings from which have been interpreted using various theoretical decision making models. There has been little research outside of the context of critical care or intensive care units, but anecdotal reports in 2006 from the New Zealand Nursing Entry to Practice Programme (NetP) coordinators network suggest that new graduates are seldom employed in critical care or intensive care units in New Zealand. Nursing educators involved in undergraduate nurse training and NetP programmes need to understand how new graduates perceive, experience and manage decision making in clinical practice, in order to assist them to develop and refine those skills. There is a need for studies utilising fundamental qualitative descriptive methodology in order to explore the experiences of new graduates' decision making in clinical practice. The author notes that the topic is particularly relevant in light of the introduction of the national NetP programmes framework in New Zealand, and to her role as a NetP programme coordinator. This dissertation examines the relevant literature about decision making by new graduates and the research methods that were used, and concludes that fundamental qualitative descriptive method is a highly appropriate method by which to study new graduates' decision making. |

Abstract |
This pilot descriptive study examines and measures the characteristics of preceptors of new graduate registered nurses undertaking the Nurse Entry to Practice Programme in an acute hospital in New Zealand. Thirty-three new graduate registered nurses at the five month stage of the programme completed a questionnaire pertaining to the characteristics of their preceptors. The questionnaires were adapted from the Ferrans and Powers (1998) Quality of Life Questionnaire. The adapted questionnaires were designed to measure the importance, satisfaction and overall quality of the preceptor's characteristics as perceived by the new graduate registered nurse, using a Likert Scale. Literature both international and national was examined to gain an understanding of the importance of the characteristics in question, in relation to the new graduate registered nurse preceptee experience. Descriptive data revealed the importance of characteristics as perceived by the new graduate nurse preceptee, and how satisfied the new graduate nurse was with their particular preceptor's characteristics. The results identified that the majority of new graduates were satisfied with the characteristics of their preceptor but there was evidence of negative discrepancies between the mean importance and satisfaction scores. The range of data between the scores of the overall quality of the preceptor uncovered areas where the quality of preceptorship was unsatisfactory as perceived by the new graduate nurse. The discrepancies in the data were examined and recommendations made for additional research, regarding selection and evaluation of preceptors of the new graduate registered nurse within the hospital environment. |

Abstract |
The purpose of this dissertation is to consider the potential role of nurse practitioners within the Family Planning Association using the “participatory, evidence-based, patient focused process for advanced practice nursing” framework. The existing model of care meets the needs of most Family Planning Association clients well in family planning and sexual and reproductive health care. Some population groups, for example, Maori, Pacific Island people and males are currently underserved particularly in areas of sexual and reproductive health. Consideration is given to how the Family Planning Association could incorporate nurse practitioner expertise to complement existing care and utilising innovative and cost effective ways of reaching some underserved population groups. The integration of the nurse practitioner role into the current staffing mix has the potential to enhance the current model of care, freeing medical officers to deal with more complex medical issues and providing a clinical career path for Family Planning Association nurses. |

Abstract |
The nurse practitioner role is an important addition to nursing workforce development in New Zealand. At present there are relatively few nurse practitioners, however the number of nurses seeking Nursing Council endorsement continues to grow. These nurses are in a unique situation as pioneers having achieved the highest level of autonomous advanced nursing practice. This position will bring with it many challenges for those nurses who are among the first in the profession. Traditionally, nurses have always had formal and informal methods of support such as preceptors, role models and the hierarchy of nursing to help and guide them in their work. This network has generally been comprised of nurses more senior and qualified than the nurse needing support. Yet the nurse practitioner, considered to be the leading clinical nurse in New Zealand, may have very limited resources available for the clinical support needed to sustain their professional practice while keeping them refreshed, curious, creative and committed. The intent of this dissertation is to provide a framework of supportive mechanisms on which the emerging nurse practitioner can draw in their new professional domain throughout their career. The author explores the meaning of support, why there is a need for support for the nurse practitioner, the various methods of support noted in current literature and how these various methods can enhance the nurse practitioner's professional growth and development, maintain clinical safety, and foster job satisfaction. |

Abstract |
When the New Zealand Nursing Council introduced the nurse practitioner as a new level of nurse in 2001, the opportunity arose for the introduction of primary health care nurse practitioners into the rural practice arena in this country. This dissertation explores the influences on the development of rural nursing in the last decade in New Zealand including the role of the Centre for Rural Health in advancing rural nursing education, as well as the impact the shortage of health professionals in rural New Zealand has had on the development of the rural primary health care nurse practitioner concept. For pioneering primary health care nurse practitioner roles to be successfully implemented in rural communities in New Zealand, several challenges need to be faced; the creation of roles and employment opportunities, community acceptance of the role, medical and nursing acceptance of the role and the establishment of independent nurse prescribing within the constraints imposed by current legislation. The dissertation explores the current literature in an attempt to offer solutions to the identified challenges. With the creation of primary health care nurse practitioner roles and the establishment and acceptance of these roles in rural communities, a new mode of health service delivery in rural New Zealand will begin. |
