Title Physical assessment: Implications for nurse educators and nursing practice Type Journal Article
Year 2007 Publication (up) International Nursing Review Abbreviated Journal
Volume 54 Issue 2 Pages 166-172
Keywords Advanced nursing practice; Clinical assessment; Cardiovascular diseases; Nursing; Education
Abstract In New Zealand, the physical assessment of a patient has traditionally been the domain of the medical profession. Recent implementation of advanced practice roles has expanded the scope of practice and nurse practitioners may now be expected to perform physical assessments. The aim of this literature review was to discover what could be learnt from the experiences of Western countries. Nurses from the USA, Canada and Australia readily incorporate physical assessment skills into their nursing practice as a component of health assessment. The international literature identified that any change to the nurse's role in health assessment, to include physical assessment skills, requires strategies that involve the regulatory, educational and practice components of nursing.

Title Evaluation of the implementation of a best practice information sheet: Tracheal suctioning of adults with an artificial airway Type Journal Article
Year 2004 Publication (up) JBI Reports Abbreviated Journal
Volume 2 Issue 9 Pages 293-308
Keywords Evidence-based medicine; Nursing; Guidelines; Evaluation
Abstract This report presents an evaluation of the implementation of a best practice information sheet related to tracheal suctioning of adults with an artificial airway. The Centre for Evidence-Based Nursing Aotearoa, based in Auckland, conducted a systematic review of the evidence and produced the best practice information sheet. A survey of 105 nurses was conducted at three sites, in New Zealand and Australia. Using a before/after design, data were collected at the time of release of the information sheet and then approximately 12 months later. The study suggests a trend towards a modest uptake of best practice recommendations into nursing practice demonstrated by some behavioural changes within a 12-month period in the context of an implementation plan and the best practice information sheet.

Title Impact of a hospital palliative care service: Perspective of the hospital staff Type Journal Article
Year 2002 Publication (up) JBI Reports Abbreviated Journal
Volume 18 Issue 3 Pages 160-167
Keywords Palliative care; Hospitals; Attitude of health personnel; Cancer
Abstract The first New Zealand hospital palliative care support service was established in 1985. Different service models have now been adopted by various major hospitals. In 1998, a palliative care service, funded by Mary Potter Hospice, was piloted at Wellington Public Hospital. Twelve months post-implementation, the hospital staff's views of the service were evaluated. It was found that referrals to palliative care from hospital specialities outside the Cancer Centre increased. While most doctors, nurses and social workers strongly agreed or agreed that the service positively influenced patients' care and effectively addressed their symptom management needs, spiritual needs were less often met. Over 90 percent of each discipline strongly agreed or agreed that the service had assisted them in caring for patients, but, only about a half agreed that useful discharge planning advice and staff support was provided. Significant differences in responses were found between different disciplines and specialities. One fifth of the staff identified palliative care education needs. Recommendations are made concerning the development of a future hospital palliative care service.

Keywords Rural nursing; Professional competence; Emergency nursing
Abstract This chapter focuses on issues associated with rural nursing and the provision of emergency care for patient(s) located remotely from secondary hospital services.

Title The impact of tourism on rural nursing practice Type Book Chapter
Year 2008 Publication (up) Jean Ross (Ed.), Rural nursing: Aspects of practice (pp. 137-43) Abbreviated Journal Ministry of Health publications page
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Rural nursing; Tourism; Advanced nursing practice; Occupational health and safety
Abstract This chapter reviews some effects of the growth of tourism, including adventure tourism and the numbers of tourists over 50, on rural nursing practice. Tourism contributes to socio-cultural change within a community, and health resources that previously met the needs of the local community may not meet the expectations of growing numbers of tourists. The transient visitor includes both the tourist and the seasonal worker, and has become a feature of rural nursing. Major effects on rural nurses include the increased volume of work, the advanced scope of practice required to meet more complex needs of visitors, and challenges to personal and professional safety.

Title Older patient perceptions of transitional care Type Book Chapter
Year 2008 Publication (up) Jean Ross (Ed.), Rural nursing: Aspects of practice (pp. 147-152) Abbreviated Journal Ministry of Health publications page
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Older people; Rural health services; Community health nursing; Evaluation
Abstract The author describes transitional care as undertaken within the Waikato District Health Board health care environment. Transitional care supports people moving between acute health care (inpatient) and primary health care (home). It is a rehabilitative model based in smaller, predominantly rural communities to enable the older person to actively work towards recovery of functional ability within their own environment. Research indicates this rehabilitation model is applicable to the rural situation and satisfaction levels of the patients and caregivers tends to be positive.
