  Title Mental health nursing in New Zealand primary health care Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication (up) Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 21 Issue 1 Pages 142-152  
  Keywords Mental health; Primary health care; Nursing specialties; Community health nursing  
  Abstract This article describes the move in mental health from institutional care to community arrangements. It draws on international literature and New Zealand health policy, which gives increased emphasis to the role of the primary health care sector in responding to mental health issues. These issues include the need for health promotion, improved detection and treatment of mild to moderate mental illness, and provision of mental health care to some of those with severe mental illness who traditionally receive care in secondary services. These developments challenge specialist mental health nurses to develop new roles which extend their practice into primary health care. In some parts of New Zealand this process has been under way for some time in the form of shared care projects. However developments currently are ad hoc and leave room for considerable development of specialist mental health nursing roles, including roles for nurse practitioners in primary mental health care.

  Title A preoperative scoring system to identify patients requiring postoperative high dependency care Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication (up) Intensive & Critical Care Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 19 Issue 5 Pages 267-275  
  Keywords Hospitals; Quality of health care; Surgery; Nursing; Clinical assessment  
  Abstract The incidence of postoperative complications is reduced with early identification of at risk patients and improved postoperative monitoring. This study describes the development and effect of a nursing preoperative assessment tool to identify patients at risk of postoperative complications and to reduce the number of acute admissions to ICU/HDU. All surgical patients admitted to a surgical ward for an elective surgical procedure (n=7832) over a 23-month period were concurrently scored on admission using the preoperative assessment tool. During the time period studied, acute admissions to ICU/HDU reduced from 40.37 to 19.11%. Only 24.04% of patients who had a PAS >4 were identified by the surgeon and/or anesthetist as being at risk of a postoperative complication, or if identified, no provision was made for improved postoperative monitoring. This study supports the involvement of nurses in identifying preoperatively patients at risk of a postoperative complication and in need of improved postoperative monitoring. The postoperative monitoring requirements for the PAS >4 patients were relatively low technology interventions.

  Title Return to nursing programmes: Justifications for a mental health specific course Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication (up) Intensive & Critical Care Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 5 Issue 1 Pages 1-16  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Training; Recruitment and retention; Curriculum  
  Abstract This paper presents the findings from research that investigated the feasibility of developing a specialty return to mental health nursing programme in New Zealand. This was achieved through a scoping of existing return to nursing programmes; a survey of non-active nurses; and stakeholder consultation via interviews or focus groups. Existing generic programmes fail to attract non-active nurses wishing to focus on mental health nursing. The non-active nurses survey found 142 nurses who presently would or might possibly return to mental health nursing and participate in a programme. Most stakeholders supported the idea of implementing such a programme. The findings from this research indicate both feasibility and enthusiasm for the introduction of return to mental health nursing programmes. It is recommended that all aspects of this course mirror the service user focused 'recovery paradigm' that is a central tenet in contemporary mental health service delivery.

  Title A survey of threats and violent behaviour by patients against registered nurses in their first year of practice Type Miscellaneous
  Year 2003 Publication (up) International Journal of Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 12 Issue 1 Pages 56-63  
  Keywords New graduate nurses; Workplace violence; Occupational health and safety; Training; Mental health; Psychiatric nursing  
  Abstract For this study, an anonymous survey was sent to registered nurses in their first year of practice. From the 1169 survey instruments that were distributed, 551 were returned completed (a response rate of 47%). The most common inappropriate behaviour by patients involved verbal threats, verbal sexual harassment, and physical intimidation. There were 22 incidents of assault requiring medical intervention and 21 incidents of participants being stalked by patients. Male graduates and younger nurses were especially vulnerable. Mental health was the service area most at risk. A most distressing incident was described by 123 (22%) of respondents. The level of distress caused by the incident was rated by 68 of the 123 respondents (55%) as moderate or severe. Only half of those who described a most distressing event indicated they had some undergraduate training in protecting against assault or in managing potentially violent incidents. After registration, 45 (37%) indicated they had received such training. The findings of this study indicate priorities for effective prevention programmes.

  Title Advanced 'prescribing' of nurses' emergency holding powers under New Zealand mental health legislation Type Journal Article
  Year 2002 Publication (up) International Journal of Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 11 Issue 3 Pages 164-169  
  Keywords Mental health; Law and legislation; Psychiatric Nursing; Scope of practice  
  Abstract A new approach to mental health legislation has seen the involvement of a range of health professionals in legislated mental health roles, including the power of registered nurses to detain patients in hospital under Section 111 of the New Zealand Mental Health (Compulsory Assessment and Treatment) Act (1992). Under this Section, a nurse who believes that a voluntary patient meets the legal criteria of the Act can independently detain the patient for a period of up to six hours, pending further assessment by a medical practitioner. However, anecdotal evidence and a clinical audit undertaken by the authors suggest some doctors 'prescribe' Section 111 at the time of admission. This practice instructs nurses to initiate Section 111 if particular voluntary patients choose to leave hospital. This study outlines practice issues resulting from 'prescribing' Section 111; provides a legal critique of medical practitioners' involvement in this practice; and makes recommendations for guidelines toward a more constructive use of Section 111.
