Anthroposophical therapy |
|
|
Abstract |
There has been considerable public debate on the range of complementary health practices throughout the western world, perhaps especially in Australia, United States and Europe. Most often, the research critique of these practices is restricted to quantitative or non-user qualitative research methodologies. Consequently, there is a significant gap in the research profile of complementary health services that need to be addressed particularly in view of the rapid and ongoing increase in the use of complementary services, even in the face of sometimes adverse media publicity. This paper demonstrates the contribution that phenomenologically-based research can make to fill this lacuna by explicating, in detail, the client experience of a complementary health practice. The paper explores patient experience of a ginger compress, as applied by anthroposophically trained nurses, to demonstrate various therapeutic effects. Four key themes emerged including an increase in warmth and internal activity in the major organs of the body, changes in thought-life and sensory perception along with a greater sense of well-being and self-focus with the perception of clearer personal boundaries. These themes, emerging from a patient sample in New Zealand, compared favourably to the Filderklinik Study completed in 1992 in a large German state hospital. |

Abstract |
This paper continues presentation of the findings of a North Island based research project that explored the impact of clinically focused postgraduate education on advancing nursing practice. Like their international counterparts, increasing numbers of New Zealand nurses are enrolling in advanced practice programmes. Yet, despite international evidence supporting the usefulness of Masters level preparation for advancing clinical practice, questions about the need for such development persist. This paper argues that postgraduate education contributes to the development of courage and that this, in turn, is essential to overcoming the barriers that currently constrain the advancement of nursing practice. |

Abstract |
In New Zealand the clinically focused postgraduate papers and programmes, available through universities and polytechnics, are evaluated from an educational perspective but little evaluation of the implications for practice has been undertaken. This paper is Part One of a report on a study that sought to illuminate the impact of clinically focused postgraduate education on advancing nursing practice. Hermeneutic methodology provided a framework for analysing both the perspectives of nurses who had undergone such education and those who had directly employed and worked alongside these nurses. Emerging themes are described here. In a second article the findings will be discussed in relation to literature. Constraining factors will be identified and strategies designed to maximise the benefits of education for advancing nursing practice will be recommended. |

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. |

Abstract |
The article reviews the extension of prescribing rights to nurses, which is described as a complex process from both a policy and a legal perspective. New Zealand, like many other jurisdictions, took time to develop and establish changes. The authors present a number of lessons that New Zealand has learned about the factors likely to contribute to success. They identify success factors as including building strong relationships with stakeholders; using robust evidence and information, including the latest developments internationally; and ensuring flexible policy and legal arrangements that can respond to change. |
