  Title Helping clients move towards health change Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 13 Issue 7 Pages 16-18  
  Keywords (down) Health promotion; Psychology; Nursing; Case studies; Smoking  
  Abstract The author reflects on his use of the American psychotherapist James Prochaska's stages of change theory. This model deals with individuals and how they move towards change, through stages of pre-contemplation to maintenance of changed behaviours. He presents examples of his use of the model with clients, when dealing with issues of smoking cessation and weight loss. He analyses his practice and interactions with clients, and affirms that stages of change model can be a useful tool to bring about change within clients. He suggests it gives clients the opportunity to contemplate change and gives nurses working in health promotion the opportunity to be part of the change process.

  Title Attitudinal shifting: A grounded theory of health promotion in coronary care Type
  Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal AUT University Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (down) Health promotion; Policy; Professional development; Cardiovascular diseases; Nursing; Nurse-patient relations; Education  
  Abstract Current New Zealand health policy encourages collaborative health promotion in all sectors of health service delivery. The integrated approach to the acute management of coronary heart disease in a coronary care unit, combining medical therapy and lifestyle change, supports clinical health promotion. The aim of this study was to use the grounded theory approach to discover the main concerns of nurses' promoting health in an acute coronary care setting and to explain the processes that nurses used to integrate health promotional activities into their practice. Seventeen registered nurses from three coronary care units within a large metropolitan city in New Zealand were interviewed. Data were constantly compared and analysed using Glaser's emergent approach to grounded theory.The main concern for nurses promoting health within coronary care was ritualistic practice. In this study, ritualistic practice concerns the medically-based protocols, routines, language and technology that drives nursing practice in coronary care. This concern was resolved via the socio-cultural process of attitudinal shifting that occurs over time involving three stages. The three conceptual categories, environmental pressures, practice reality and responsive action are the main components of the theory of attitudinal shifting. In environmental pressures, nurses experience a tension between specialist medically-dominated nursing practice and the generalist nursing role of promoting health. In practice reality, nurses become aware that the individual needs of patients are not being met. This causes role conflict until the nurse observes colleagues who role model possibilities for practice, working with patients to promote health. Responsive action sees the nurse engaging in self-development, also focusing on the nurse-patient relationship, thereby enabling active patient involvement in individual health-promoting decisions. The author suggests that the findings from this research have implications for nursing practice and education. With the increasing specialisation in nursing practice, these findings may be of interest to nurses working in delegated medical roles where the reality of everyday practice precludes nurses from undertaking their essential nursing role. Health care facilities also need to ensure that there are opportunities for the personal and professional development of nursing staff. The place of health promotion within nursing undergraduate curricula needs to be examined, as many nurses found that they were ill prepared for undertaking health promotional activities.

  Title Fat simple: A nursing tool for client education Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 22 Issue 2 Pages 21-32  
  Keywords (down) Health education; Nursing; Diet  
  Abstract This article summarises the current level of knowledge regarding dietary effects on serum cholesterol. Information from a literature review was used to design a table that identifies how changes in diet and activity can alter components of a person's lipid profile. Nurses can use the resulting table as a simple tool to give clients targeted education based on their individual cholesterol results. This tool illustrates that not all dietary recommendations to the public are beneficial to serum cholesterol levels and it also explains why popular diets such as the Atkins, Mediterranean, and glycaemic index / load can produce more cardio-protective profiles than the traditional low fat diet.

  Title Grief as a transformative experience: Weaving through different lifeworlds after a loved one has completed suicide Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication International Journal of Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 12 Issue 1 Pages 74-85  
  Keywords (down) Grief; Psychology; Nursing specialties; Suicide  
  Abstract This research is an exploration and interpretation of the lived experiences of family members since they lost a close family member to suicidal death. The findings have implications for nurses and counsellors working in the area of suicide bereavement. Heidegger's hermeneutic phenomenology was utilised and informed by van Manen's and Benner's work. Data from in-depth interviews with six participants, the researcher's journal entries and published literature were analysed. Findings gave rise to a grief model where suicide survivors moved through four modes of being-in-the-world characterized by 13 lifeworlds or themes. Surviving suicide was a transformative process that in time enabled survivors to discover new ways of understanding and relating to the world.

  Title When an infant grandchild dies: Family matters Type
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal ResearchArchive@Victoria  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (down) Grief; Nurse-family relations; Infants; Nursing research  
  Abstract This research undertaken by a nurse working with bereaved families, aimed to explore how grandparents, parents and health/bereavement professionals constructed grandparent bereavement when an infant grandchild died unexpectedly. The 26 participants, living in New Zealand and the United Kingdom, included 16 grandparents and 6 parents from 11 families, in addition to three health/bereavement professionals. A constructivist inquiry informed by writings on nursing, storying and postmodernism was used. Through an exploration of the methodological and ethical issues that arose and were addressed during the study, this work adds to knowledge of how constructivist inquiry can be used in nursing and bereavement research. In addition, the context of this research as a partnership with multiple family members contributes to the ongoing debate about whether participation in bereavement research may be harmful or therapeutic. Conversations in this research formed a series of interviews and letters, which led to the development of a joint construction and each individual's story. A grandchild's death was constructed as a challenge which grandparents faced, responded to and then managed the changes that arose from the challenge. The context of their bereavement was seen as underpinned by their relationship as “parents of the adult parents” of the grandchild who died. This meant that grandparents placed their own pain second to their wish to support and “be with” the parents. Outside the family was where many grandparents found friends, colleagues or their community forgot, or chose not to acknowledge, their bereavement. This work shows how some grandparents help to create a space within the family which maintains a continuing relationship with the grandchild who died.
