Title Midwifery as Feminist Praxis in Aotearoa/New Zealand Type
Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library
Volume Issue Pages 323 pp
Keywords (up)
Abstract A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree

of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY IN EDUCATION, UNIVERSITY OF CANTERBURY 2003.

This thesis highlights the ways in which the practices of contemporary midwives in

Aotearoa/New Zealand are caught within the intersection of an array of competing discourses. The context for this is the reconstruction of midwifery in Aotearoa/New Zealand as an autonomous feminist profession founded on partnership with women. Interviews and participant observation with midwives, based mainly in one New Zealand city, are the basis of an analysis of the complexity of midwives? praxis as professionals. The analysis draws on insights from critical and feminist approaches to Foucault?s theories of discourse, power and the subject. It includes discussion of the conditions which came to produce and authorise the concept of ?partnership?. Which subjects can speak about partnership, and when? What claims

are made about it? What challenges it?

Title How accountable is accountable for mental health nurses? Type
Year 2004 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords (up) Accountability; Nursing; Mental health
Abstract Accountability has been described by nurses as an elusive concept or myth. The author suggests that this elusive concept or myth can partly be attributed to accountability becoming visible usually following a critical incident. The overall goal of this project is to provide nurses working within mental health with the incentive to raise their awareness and explore what their roles and responsibilities are within the accountability process in a more positive scenario. This research paper reports on an exploration of the key components of accountability within the New Zealand mental health environment. It describes significant influences that affect accountability. This is achieved by the means of a literature review, sharing of the author's experience of being involved in a national inquiry, and the adaptation of a who what and how framework, in conjunction with a diagram displaying accountability levels and lines for mental health nurses. The author points out that the domains of accountability for nurses will continue to evolve and expand but what remains important is that consumers have access to good quality mental health care.

Title 'Never mind the quality, feel the width': The nonsense of 'quality', 'excellence', and 'audit' in education, health and research Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Collegian: Journal of the Royal College of Nursing Australia Abbreviated Journal
Volume 15 Issue 1 Pages 35-41
Keywords (up) Accountability; Quality assurance; Organisational change; Nursing research; Nursing; Education
Abstract The author contends that health care and education have been colonised by 'The Audit Society' and managerialism. It is argued that under the benign guise of 'improving quality' and 'ensuring value for money' a more Orwellian purpose operates. Academics had to be transformed into a workforce of 'docile bodies', willing to scrutinise and survey themselves and their 'performance' as outcome deliverers and disciples of the new 'Qualispeak'. This paper critiques the current obsession with audit and performativity, and the constant and often pointless 'change' that is held to be so self-evidently 'a good thing' and identifies policy discussion as a linguistic wasteland.

Title Patients' experiences of interpersonal relationships during first time acute hospitalisation Type Journal Article
Year 2008 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal
Volume 24 Issue 2 (Jul) Pages p16-26.
Keywords (up) Acute hospitalisation; Vulnerability; Support; Nurse-patient relationships
Abstract Examines the role of interpersonal relationships on patients' experiences during first time acute hospitalisation. Involving 12 first time acute medical and surgical admission patients, it was developed from a wider study exploring patients' overall experiences. Using a qualitative methodology with data collected by means of personal stories and semi-structured interviews findings suggest that patient vulnerability is reduced through supportive interpersonal relationships and that it is nurses who play a key role in developing and maintaining these relationships with patients.

Title The youth health specialty in New Zealand: Collaborative practice and future development Type Journal Article

Volume 34 Issue 3 Pages 162-167
Keywords (up) Adolescents; Community health nursing; Primary health care; Nurse practitioners; School nursing
Abstract This paper details the workforce capacity of youth health nursing and medical staffing required for community-based and school-based youth health services. The author shows how youth health services seek to complement the care delivered by Primary Health Organisations (PHOs) and other allied health care services in the community. She outlines the development and operation at VIBE, a community-based youth health service in the Hutt Valley with school-based youth health services delivered at four low deciles secondary schools. She explains that developing workforce capacity for youth health services is a primary health care priority and an important means to address inequalities and to improve the health services of young people.

Title Hearing the adolescents' voice: A study evaluating the use of conjoint analysis for use with adolescents to determine preferences for inpatient hospital facilities Type
Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal ResearchArchive@Victoria
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords (up) Adolescents; Hospitals; Patient satisfaction; Cancer
Abstract This research used the economic technique of conjoint analysis and an informal discussion to canvas opinions regarding ideal combination of inpatient facilities and the use of cell phones in hospital. The content of the conjoint analysis was, with the exception of the inclusion of the question regarding the use of cell phones, derived from the literature. Because conjoint analysis does not appear to have been used with adolescents one of the questions to be answered was whether this was a method of research that could be used with adolescents. The research was undertaken with 29 young people, most of who were from CanTeen (the adolescent cancer support group) in Wellington. The conjoint analysis, and discussion with the adolescents supported the general findings from the literature that adolescents do not want to be nursed in either overtly paediatric or, in their words, 'dull adult wards', as they enjoy bright lively surrounds. Ideally they would like to be nursed with their peer group and so have the opportunity to interact with young people of their age. The research demonstrated that adolescents are able to understand the concept of conjoint analysis and also supported findings from overseas that these healthcare consumers value having their opinions canvassed and are well able to give constructive and well thought out opinions. A report on the findings of this research will be presented to Capital and Coast District Health Board with the expectation that it will be considered when the final decisions are made regarding the upgrading of Wellington Hospital's present facilities as it is anticipated that these facilities will contain dedicated adolescent beds within the paediatric unit.
