  Title Cardiac pain or panic disorder? Managing uncertainty in the emergency department Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication (up) Nursing & Health Sciences Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 8 Issue 4 Pages 224-230  
  Keywords Emergency nursing; Clinical assessment; Diagnosis  
  Abstract This paper presents research findings from a New Zealand study that explored emergency nurses' differentiation of non-cardiac chest pain from panic disorder and raised significant issues in the nursing assessment and management of such clients. The data were gathered from focus group interviews and were analysed thematically. Three themes, prioritising time, managing uncertainty and ambiguity, and the life-threatening lens, were identified. The findings confirm that a panic disorder is not always diagnosed when biomedical assessment is used in isolation from a psychosocial assessment. Emergency nurses are pivotal in reversing the cycle of repeat presenters with non-cardiac chest pain. Recommendations for assessing and managing this complex condition are presented.

  Title Recovery from depression: A discourse analysis of interpersonal psychotherapy Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication (up) Nursing Inquiry Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 12 Issue 1 Pages 43-50  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Mental health; Nurse-patient relations  
  Abstract This paper describes a discourse analysis of the process of interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT) in the recovery from depression. It demonstrates how IPT is an effective treatment strategy for mental health nurses to utilise in the treatment of depression. The discourse analysis highlights how the development of more meaningful subject positions enables one woman to recover from her depression. The process of recovery is underpinned by an understanding of women's depression as promoted by contemporary social and cultural expectations for detachment and reflexivity. This paper shows how IPT provides an opportunity for recovery from depression for one woman by facilitating a reconstruction of her subject positions in relation to others. The discourse analysis revealed that the therapist facilitated this through the use of a range of techniques: seeking information, exploring beliefs/values/assumptions, exploring communication patterns, exploring affective responses and exploring alternative subject positions.

  Title Reflexivity and detachment: A discursive approach to women's depression Type Journal Article
  Year 2002 Publication (up) Nursing Inquiry Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 9 Issue 2 Pages 126-132  
  Keywords Gender; Mental health; Psychiatric Nursing; Culture  
  Abstract This paper explores a discursive approach to understanding women's depression by presenting the results of research into women's narratives of their experiences. The discursive approach taken acknowledges women's immersion in cultural practices that determine the subject positions available to them and places a value on attributes of reflexivity and detachment that are not usually associated with their performance. The social and cultural context of the individual's experience is significant because if the focus is simply on the individual this supposes that the problem lies solely with the individual. An understanding of cultural expectations and their relation to mental distress is important to mental health nursing practice. The psychotherapeutic relationship that is fundamental to mental health nursing practice requires an understanding of the meaning of individual's responses in their cultural context in order to provide facilitative and meaningful care for the women that they nurse.

  Title Can evidence improve nursing practice? Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication (up) Nursing Journal Northland Polytechnic Abbreviated Journal coda, An Institutional Repository for the New Zealand ITP Sector  
  Volume 10 Issue Pages 27-32  
  Keywords Evidence-based medicine; Nursing; Professional development  
  Abstract Evidenced Based Practice is aimed at providing safe, effective and cost-appropriate health care. The utilisation of EBP in nursing has proved to be valuable not only for patients and nurses, but also for other health professionals and the wider community. However, despite the recognised benefits of EBP, a significant gap between theory and practice exists. This paper explores some of the issues behind not implementing EBP, such as comfort with traditional practices, lack of engagement with EBP, and time constraints.
