Wong, G., & Sakulneya, A. (2004). Promoting EAL nursing students' mastery of informal language. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 20(1), 45–52.
Abstract: This article describes the development, delivery and evaluation of a pilot programme designed to help nursing and midwifery students from Asian and non-English speaking backgrounds improve their conversational skills in practice settings. Many such students, although previously assessed as competent in English, find that communication with patients and their families, and other health professionals is difficult. The study was conducted in a large tertiary educational institution in a major metropolitan centre. Each week for a period of 11 weeks students participated in an interactive session. Content for these was based on areas highlighted by a needs assessment involving interviews with both students and lecturers, and was subject to ongoing modification in response to feedback from participants. Evaluation questionnaires completed at the conclusion of the series indicated that students perceived the impact as positive. Students who attended regularly and were actively involved in the practice activities described gains in communication skills. From this it was concluded that further development of the pilot scheme was warranted in order to benefit English as an additional language (EAL) students enrolled in nursing and midwifery courses

White, G. E., & Su, H. - R. (2000). Am I dying, nurse? Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 15(1), 33–40.
Abstract: This paper addresses the concept of truth, and debates who should tell it and how it should be told. It explores the cultural aspects of knowing the truth about dying. The question of whether nurses have a moral obligation to tell the truth is explored, and suggests the lack of New Zealand research in this area should be addressed.

Abstract: Notes the lack of evidence-based guidance for use of humour by nurses. Uses a qualitative descriptive methodology to explore how surgical nurses determine when and how to employ humour with patients. Enrols 9 RNs working in a surgical ward within a tertiary hospital in semi-strutured interviews to discuss how they assess patient receptiveness, build connections with patients and protect their vulnerability.

Wilkinson, J. A. (2004). Using adult learning theory to enhance clinical teaching. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 20(1), 36–44.
Abstract: In this article four theories of adult learning theory are presented: self directed learning; experiential learning; constructivist theory; and critical thinking. These are discussed alongside theories about motivation to learn. Suggestions for how the theory may be applied to the clinical learning environment are offered.

Milligan, K., & Neville, S. J. (2003). The contextualisation of health assessment. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 19(1), 23–31.
Abstract: The authors defines health assessment and argue that it is a tool nurses should be using as a means of improving health outcomes for clients. The skills involved in health assessments are analysed, and four levels of data gathering are identified. The authors present an historical perspective, tracing the development of these skills as they have been incorporated in nursing practice in North America and Australia.

Diers, D. (2008). “Noses and eyes”: Nurse practitioners in New Zealand. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 24(1 (Mar)), 4–10.
Abstract: Principles for understanding and evolving nurse practitioner practice, politics and policy are distilled from 40 years of experience in the United States and Australia. The issues in all countries are remarkably similar. The author suggests that some historical and conceptual grounding may assist the continuing development of this expanded role for nursing in New Zealand.

Spence, D. (2001). The evolving meaning of 'culture' in New Zealand nursing. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 17(3), 51–61.
Abstract: The author traces the nursing definition of biculturalism as it has evolved from the colonial period to the present. An examination of nursing literature demonstrates that local understandings of culture have matured beyond anthropological interpretations to a sociopolitical definition of Maori culture. The author suggests that, in nursing, culture has come to mean cultural safety.

Mortensen, A. (2010). Cultural safety : does the theory work in practice for culturally and linguistically diverse groups? Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 26(3), 6–16.
Abstract: Critically examines the theoretical base of the cultural safety guidelines for nursing practice with respect to culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) groups. Poses two questions: have the guidelines led to culturally-safe nursing practice in health care for CALD groups; have the guidelines contributed to provision of culturally-acceptable health care for CALD groups?

Abstract: Revisits the concepts addressed in Ramsden's speech to nursing graduands in 1990, 'Moving On'. Places the speech in the context of her later articles on cultural safety, in 1993 and 2000. Maintains that the concept is critically relevant in 2021 due to health disparities for Maori.

Jamieson, I., Sims, D., Casey, M., Wilkinson, K., & Osborne, R. (2017). Utilising the Canterbury Dedicated Education Unit model of teaching. Nursing Praxis in New Zealand, 33(2), http://www.nursingpraxis.org.
Abstract: Considers whether the Canterbury Dedicated Education Unit model of clinical teaching and learning can support graduate registered nurses in their first year of practice. Uses a descriptive exploratory case-study approach to gather data via three focus groups with a total of eleven participants. Undertakes thematic analysis to identify patterned meaning across the dataset from which two primary themes emerge: support, and recruitment and retention. Identifies five associated sub-themes: peer support, organisational support, liaison nurse support, team support for the graduate registered nurses, and team support for the staff. Reveals the significant contribution made by the Nurse Entry-to-Practice Programme Liaison Nurse as a conflict broker.
