Abstract: Conducts an exploratory case study investigating the experiences of third-year undergraduate nursing students in simulations, collecting stories about their experiences in the clinical environment, and highlighting the potential use of simulation as an alternate learning environment to foster the development of clinical judgement in nursing students. Considers two research questions: how do nursing students experience simulation as an environment for learning, and how do nursing students' learning experiences in simulation and clinical practice influence their development of clinical judgement skills? Conducts one-to-one interviews and observes simulations in the course of an exploratory case study.

Retrieved September 21, 2024, from https://figshare.com/articles/thesis/Parental_needs_and_nursing_response_following_SUFE_Surgery_An_interpretive_descriptive_study/18094160
Abstract: Examines the experiences of parents and nurses in caring for a child following invasive Slipped Upper Femoral Epiphysis (SUFE) repair. Conducts semi-structured interviews with parents of five children, predominantly Māori or Pacific, who underwent SUFE repair, and five paediatric nurses caring for the children and their families in the hospital ward. Offers two perspectives of the journey for these parents following such an injury, from the child's hospitalisation to caring for these children once they are home. Presents and contrasts these perspectives, revealing insights into the parents' ongoing need for support, information and planning for care, and nurses' efforts to meet these needs. Presents implications for nursing practice.

Abstract: Examines the nature of social-political knowing in nursing, or the “where-in” as proposed by Jill White (1995; 2014), whereby the nurse looks beyond therapeutic relationships towards the circumstances that compromise health and wellbeing and contribute to social injustice. Aims to discover how registered nurses (RN) understand, use, and communicate their knowing of contemporary societal and political issues impacting on the health and wellbeing of those they care for. Employs a critical constructivist methodology in interviews woth 26 RNs, and identifies the themes that emerged.

Daniels, A. (2004). Listening to New Zealand nurses: A survey of intent to leave, job satisfaction, job stress, and burnout. Master's thesis, Auckland University of Technology, Auckland. Retrieved September 21, 2024, from http://hdl.handle.net/10292/199
Abstract: This study aims to identify work related factors contributing to New Zealand nurses' intent to leave the job. Two hundred and seventy five surveys (response rate = 68.8%) from a random sample of 400 nurses employed in one district health board were used to explore intent to leave the job. Three research questions directed the description of levels of job satisfaction, job stress, and burnout found in nurse participants, correlations between the three variables, and the identification of variables predicting intent to leave the job through regression analyses. The survey found levels of job satisfaction were high, job stress was low, and burnout was average. Specifically, lack of opportunity to participate in organisational decision making, control over work conditions, control over what goes on in the work setting (key Magnet Hospital characteristics) were not evident, and with pay rates, were the main sources of job dissatisfaction. Workload was the most frequently experienced source of stress by nurse participants. Twenty-five per cent of nurse participants reported high levels of intent to leave the job. Correlations suggested that reductions in job satisfaction influenced increases in job stress and burnout. Job stress was associated with increases in emotional exhaustion. Emotional exhaustion was influenced by eight job satisfaction, job stress, and burnout subscales. Five subscales (professional opportunities, praise and recognition, interaction opportunities, extrinsic rewards, lack of support) explained 26.2% of the variance in nurse participant's intent to leave. The author concludes that issues of power and control were associated with job dissatisfaction, job stress and burnout in nursing practice. However, predictors of intent to leave the job suggest a growing realisation by nurse participants that postgraduate education and nursing research may provide the tools to create positive change in the health care environment and make nursing visible, valued and appropriately rewarded.
