  Title Action change in New Zealand mental health nursing: One team's perspective Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Practice Development in Health Care Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 6 Issue 2 Pages 137-142  
  Keywords (up) Experiential learning; Psychiatric Nursing; Communication; Community health nursing  
  Abstract This paper describes an attempt at effecting change with specific relevance to the discharge planning of clients from a New Zealand inpatient mental health unit to a community setting. It explores how a team of community mental health nurses, practising in an urban/rural area, used the concepts of practice development to endeavour to bring about change while still retaining a client-centred focus. It describes how, in their enthusiasm, they embarked on the road to practice change without undertaking some of the essential ground work, Although they did not achieve all they set out to achieve, much was learnt in the process. In this paper, the authors outline their key learning points concerning the importance of engagement, communication, consistency and cooperation to the process and outcomes of practice change.

  Title Silence kills: Communication around adverse events in ICU Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Intensive care nursing; Communication; Interprofessional relations  
  Abstract The aim of this dissertation is to assess the preventability or reduction of adverse events in the intensive care unit (ICU) through a literature review. Research shows the ICU is at high risk for errors, nevertheless there is a huge gap between knowing something should be done and applying this knowledge to practice. That being the case, this dissertation identifies and discusses several proven and transferable quality improvement proposals. These include: instituting anonymous error reporting; documentation of a daily goal-of-care; a nurse as ICU team co-ordinator; conflict resolution processes and communication training for all ICU staff. NThe author concludes that nurse-doctor collaboration requires the support of medicine, with recognition of the unique contribution nurses make to patient safety.

  Title Meeting the needs of grieving relatives Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 10 Issue 9 Pages 18-20  
  Keywords (up) Intensive care nursing; Grief; Communication  
  Abstract This article examines the role of nurses working in intensive care units who may need to work with families as they face the death of a loved one. How the nurse communicates with relatives during these crucial hours prior to the death can have profound implications on their grief recovery. Universal needs for families in this situation have been identified in the literature, and include: hope; knowing that staff care about their loved one; and having honest information about their loved one's condition. A case study is used to illustrate key skills and techniques nurses can employ to help meet these universal needs. In the first stage of grief the bereaved is in shock and may feel a sense of numbness and denial. The bereaved may feel confused and will have difficulty concentrating and remembering instructions, and they may express strong emotions. Studies on families' needs show that honest answers to questions and information about their loved one are extremely important. It is often very difficult for the nurse to give honest information when the prognosis is poor. Good communication skills and techniques are discussed, in which hope is not offered at the expense of truthfulness, and the nurse facilitates the process of saying goodbye and expressing emotions. Practical techniques, such as including the family in basic care such as foot massaging and simple hygiene routines, may also be used to move the family from being bystanders to the impending death, to comforters.

  Title Parental resistance. Mobile and transitory discourses: A discursive analysis of parental resistance towards medical treatment for a seriously ill child Type
  Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Nurse-family relations; Parents and caregivers; Pacific peoples; Communication; Children; Chronically ill  
  Abstract This qualitative thesis uses discourse analysis to examine parental resistance towards medical treatment of critically ill children. It is an investigation of the 'mobile and transitory' discourses at play in instances of resistance between parents, physicians and nurses within health care institutions, and an examination of the consequences of resistance through providing alternative ways of perceiving and therefore understanding these disagreements. The philosophical perspectives, methodology and methods used in this thesis are underpinned by selected ideas taken from the works of Michel Foucault and Pierre Bourdieu and supported by relevant literature in the fields of media, law, children, parenting, caring, serious childhood illness, medicine and nursing. It is argued that from an examination of interview based texts, parental resistance is an omnipresent but transitory occurrence that affects many of the interactions between the parents of seriously ill children and clinical staff. It is maintained that within these interactions, the seeds of this resistance are sown in both critical decision making situations and in everyday occurrences between doctors, nurses and parents within healthcare institutions. Contributing factors to parental resistance include the use of power games by staff, the language of medicine, forms of symbolic violence, the presence or absence of trust between parents and medical staff, the effects of medical habitus, and challenges to the parental role and identity. Overall, it is proposed in this thesis that parents who resist treatment for their seriously ill child are not exceptions to the normative patient-physician relationship.

  Title Same person different nurse: A study of the relationship between nurse and patient based on the experience of shifting from secondary care to home-based nursing Type
  Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal Research Archive at Wintec  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Nurse-patient relations; Communication; Hospitals; Home care  
  Abstract This study focuses on power themes in the nurse-patient relationship. The study is a critical reflection of the author's practice using a humanistic perspective from Hartrick Doane and Varcoe's (2005) model of relational family practice. It reviews the literature relating to power relationships in communication between nurses and patients and compares the ability to provide relational care in the home with hospital care. Practice examples demonstrate the shift in power relationships that the author had noticed since changing roles from hospital based to home care nursing. This is related to cultural, socio-environmental, historical and traditional influences on power in communication. The study is based on her reflection of the paradigm shift in her practice. Her practice moved from a problem solving approach to an empowerment, strengths based approach within partnership. The ethical challenges of discussing her practice in relation to clients has been managed by scrambling patient data so that it is not related to a single person and is focused on the author's nursing practice.

  Title Patient experience of joint replacement education: A joint venture Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal ResearchArchive@Victoria  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Nurse-patient relations; Health education; Communication  
  Abstract The aim of this research was to explore patients' educational experiences and the usefulness and benefits of this health education in the rehabilitation period, when undertaking a total joint replacement. An exploratory, qualitative descriptive study method was used to describing patients' experiences of health education. Five participants, convenience sampled, were interviewed eight to twelve weeks post surgery following unilateral total joint replacement in a tertiary hospital. Participants valued the education they received pre operatively, which included written material, video and individual interaction with varied health professionals. Although this was provided in a timely manner, evidence showed limited post operative reinforcement and follow up of given education and preparation for discharge. Three 'partnership' themes were identified from data, Communicative, Subservient and Knowledge. 'Communicative Partnership' conceptualised the participants' experiences of the nurse-patient relationship, whilst 'Subservient Partnership' captured the participants' experiences of 'being' patients. 'Knowledge Partnership' combined the participants' ideas about knowledge and their retention of this knowledge to assist with their rehabilitation post surgery. The needs and experiences of patients after total joint replacement reflect on transitional change – changes in roles, behaviour, abilities and relationships. Educational contents need to reflect a realistic recovery process to assist with this transitional period, delivered by health care professionals in a manner best suited for patients.

  Title Holding together: Caring for clients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 60 Issue 6 Pages 645-653  
  Keywords (up) Nursing specialties; Sexual and reproductive health; Communication; Multidisciplinary care teams  
  Abstract This paper reports a study to investigate the roles and experiences of nurses caring for clients undergoing assisted reproductive technologies (ART). Nurses are in a potentially unique position in the assisted reproductive technology environment as they maintain a more constant contact with the client. A qualitative approach was taken and a convenience sample of 15 nurses from New Zealand was interviewed in 2005. Data were analysed using interpretive description. The overarching theme identified was that of the potential role of the nurse to 'hold together' multiple components of the assisted reproductive technology process: holding together clients' emotional and physical experiences of assisted reproductive technologies; holding together the roles of different specialist team members; and holding together personal own emotions. It encompasses practices such as information-giving, interpreting, supporting and advocating. The researchers note that recognition of and support for the complexity of the role of ART nurses may positively contribute to clients' experiences.
