  Title Courage as integral to advancing nursing practice Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 23 Issue 2 Pages 43-55  
  Keywords (up) Ethics; Advanced nursing practice  
  Abstract This paper focuses on the illumination of courage in nursing. The authors suggest it is a fundamental component of nursing, yet it is seldom mentioned or recognised in the literature, or supported in practice. Data from a hermeneutic analysis of nurses' practice stories is integrated with literature to assist deeper understanding of the meaning of courage in contemporary nursing practice. The purpose is to make visible a phenomenon that needs to be actively fostered if nursing is to effectively contribute to an improved health service.

  Title Caring and bioethics: Perspectives, predicaments and possibilities Type
  Year 2001 Publication Abbreviated Journal ResearchArchive@Victoria  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Ethics; Feminist critique; Nurse-patient relations  
  Abstract This thesis presents an explorative study of the place of caring in bioethics. Through the examination of various sources of literature from the disciplines of nursing, feminist theory and ethics, and bioethics, a case is developed that argues for a valid respected place for caring, as an ethic of care in bioethical decision-making. The case is built by providing evidence to support the fundamental importance of caring to human life, health, relationships, and survival at the broad societal level. This is presented from the feminist and nursing perspectives, along with a critique of the negative aspects of caring practices. The next stage of the case presents a layout of the discipline of bioethics, using an historical perspective to illuminate the influences of bioethics' deep past, as it still affects the discipline in the present. The development of contemporary bioethics' current status is presented along with critiques from bioethicists themselves, and nursing and feminist theory and ethics. In the case at this point, from a bioethical perspective, two major predicaments appear to prevent an ethic of care obtaining a valid place in ethical decision-making in bioethics. These are the justice/care duality, and the conflict between different conceptions of care and autonomy. The bioethical objections and arguments put forward regarding these predicaments are examined and refuted, and the author suggests a case is established for the inclusion of an ethic of care in bioethical decision-making.

  Title Being constrained and enabled: A study of pre-registration nursing students ethical practice Type
  Year 2004 Publication Abbreviated Journal Auckland University of Technology Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Ethics; Nursing; Students  
  Abstract This study uncovers the experience of being ethical from the perspective of pre-registration nursing students. Using the qualitative methodology of phenomenology, specifically that outlined by van Manen, it seeks to show how students act ethically within everyday practice. Providing nursing care is an ethically charged undertaking and despite ethics taking an increasingly important place in nursing education, the author suggests that few studies show the contextual nature of ethical practice from the perspective of students. This study aims to partly redress this situation. In this study the author has interpreted the experiences of twelve pre-registration students. Using seventeen stories shared by the student participants, the author's personal understandings and literature, the meaning of being ethical has been illuminated. Three themes emerged from the interpretation. These include 'keeping things 'nice'', 'being true to yourself' and 'being present'. This thesis asserts that the overarching theme within these themes is that of 'being constrained and enabled'. Being constrained shows the experiences of students as they live through the tensions of being and doing as they strive to be ethical. Being enabled shows the experience of self-determination. Finally the study maintains that the shaping of ethical practice for undergraduate students may be enhanced when their reality is positioned and valued within educational processes.

  Title The nurse-managed clinic: An evaluative study Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 20 Issue 2 Pages 15-23  
  Keywords (up) Evaluation research; Nurse managers; Primary health care; Cross-cultural comparison  
  Abstract Part of an international project, the aim of this study was to evaluate a nurse managed primary health care clinic (Mana Health Clinic) from the perspectives of users, funders, and providers of clinical services in order to identify factors which contribute to success. The method used was Fourth Generation Evaluation (FGE) whereby, consistent with the methodological precepts of the constructivist enquiry paradigm, there was active involvement of clients in the process and outcome of the evaluation. Open-ended interviews were conducted with 13 individuals and one focus group. The data yielded four main categories: factors that contribute to success; contrasting past experience of health care with that of nurse-managed care; the effectiveness of nurse-managed care; and suggestions for change in current practice. The authors note that the results to date support a tentative conclusion of success for the clinic. As the study is on-going, summaries of the four categories were fed back to the participants for further discussion and interpretation and eventual integration with data from the similar study being undertaken in the United States. The authors conclude that this paper demonstrates how the use of an appropriate method of evaluation can itself contribute to the success of the nurse managed clinic.

  Title Nurse-managed clinics: Issues in evaluation Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 44 Issue 6 Pages 558-565  
  Keywords (up) Evaluation research; Nurse managers; Qualiltative research; Patient satisfaction  
  Abstract This article explores the importance of evaluation of nurse-managed clinics using the Mana Health Clinic in Auckland, as an example. Fourth generation evaluation is offered as an appropriate methodology for undertaking evaluation of nurse-managed clinics. Fourth generation evaluation actively seeks involvement of clients in the process and outcome of the evaluation, resulting in participation and empowerment of stakeholders in the service – a precept often forgotten in traditional evaluation strategies and of vital importance in understanding why people use nurse-managed clinics. The method proposed here also incorporates the need for quantitative data. The main argument is that a combination of qualitative and quantitative data sources is likely to give the greatest understanding of nurse-managed clinics' utilisation.

  Title Clinical trials in the intensive care setting: A nursing perspective Type
  Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords (up) Evaluation; Intensive care nursing  
  Abstract As carers of patients who are clinical research participants, nurses' contribution to the success of clinical trials is acknowledged in the literature. Ethical dilemmas and challenges that clinical trials may present for nurses are also recognised. Although there is some discussion regarding these issues, few studies explore and identify the perceptions of intensive care nurses regarding clinical trials and how they may impact on nursing practice. This thesis explores and describes the viewpoints and experiences of sixty intensive care nurses from a tertiary level referral centre in New Zealand engaged in clinical research activities. The descriptive study utilised a self-administered questionnaire to gather information regarding nurses' roles in clinical trials, associated issues encountered and contributory factors, and the impact of issues on nursing practice, stress and satisfaction levels. Suggestions for potential strategies to minimise the impact of issues on nurses' practice were also sought. Descriptive statistical and content data analyses identified three key areas in which nurses' encounter issues associated with clinical trials and their practice: nurses' workload; ethical concerns; educational preparation and support. The findings indicate that, when issues exist in these areas, routine patient care can be delayed, the enactment of nurses' patient advocacy role can be affected, and nurses' stress and satisfaction levels can be negatively impacted upon. The perceptions of a group of intensive care nurses who are enveloped in the daily balance of patient care, the need for clinical research, and their professional obligations are discussed in this thesis. While the study's findings are reflective of one group of nurses in a distinct practice setting, their experiences can prompt other nurses, research teams and clinical leaders to reflect upon their own clinical research environment.
