  Title Flexible monitoring in the management of patient care process: A pilot study Type Journal Article
  Year 2000 Publication (down) Lippincott's Case Management Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 5 Issue 3 Pages 94-106  
  Keywords Hospitals; Cardiovascular diseases; Nursing  
  Abstract This article describes a study conducted on the internal medicine, general surgical, and vascular wards of a large metropolitan hospital to assess the impact of a networked monitoring system and portable patient monitors. This pilot study was developed to address the needs of hospital patients who require continuous non-invasive vital signs monitoring (including heart rate, non-invasive blood pressure, pulse oximetry, cardiac waveform monitoring) with the addition of surveillance from a cardiac intensive care area. Data were collected from 114 patients over a three-month period to identify a patient group that could be managed appropriately under the new system and to determine the effect that flexible monitoring had on patient care management. Findings include identification of a specific patient group that can be managed successfully outside the cardiac intensive care area using this system. Other findings suggest a way to improve the management of patient monitoring in the general ward areas.

  Title Learning bioscience in nursing education: Perceptions of the intended and the prescribed curriculum Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication (down) Learning in Health & Social Care Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 4 Issue 4 Pages 203-216  
  Keywords Nursing; Education; Teaching methods  
  Abstract This study used a curriculum inquiry framework to investigate the perceptions of 184 nursing students and nurse educators in relation to bioscience in the nursing curriculum. Nursing students were found to have significantly more positive attitudes to bioscience in nursing education than nurse educators, and nurse educators were not found to have significantly better self-efficacy in bioscience than the students, although this might have been expected. The results of focus group discussions, used to investigate this in more depth, suggested that some nurse educators and clinical preceptors may not have sufficient science background or bioscience knowledge, to help nursing students apply bioscience knowledge to practice. As a result of this, it is suggested that the aims of the intended and prescribed nursing curricula are not being fulfilled in the implemented curriculum.

  Title Men's clinical career pathways: Widening the understanding Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication (down) Klinisk sygepleje Abbreviated Journal Coda: An institutional repository for the New Zealand ITP sector  
  Volume 22 Issue 3 Pages 48-57  
  Keywords Male nurses; Gender; Careers in nursing  
  Abstract This article, drawn from a larger study, reports on the factors that have influenced the choice of a group of New Zealand male nurses' clinical career pathways. Using discourse analysis, interview data from 18 participants were analysed and related to existing literature on male nurses. The analysis revealed that the predominance of men in selected areas of nursing can be attributed to multiple factors including: socialisation pressures that are grounded on gender stereotyping, a desire for challenge, homosocial tendencies, and the belief that multiple work experience equips them to be better nurses. The results challenge essentialist readings of masculinity within the context of nursing and identifies challenges for nursing education and the profession to enable men to contribute more widely to nursing.

  Title New strategies in evidence based practice Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication (down) Klinisk sygepleje Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 20 Issue 3 Pages 4-11  
  Keywords Evidence-based medicine; Nursing; Education; Curriculum  
  Abstract This article considers wider organisational issues that impact on the implementation of evidence based practice. It describes the strategies adopted by the Auckland Area Health Board and Unitec New Zealand to implement the principles of evidence based practice in New Zealand. This has resulted in a collaboration with Auckland University and the Joanna Briggs Institute for Evidence Based Nursing and Midwifery to form the Centre for Evidence Based Nursing – Aotearoa. Evidence based nursing is a vital part of nursing education. Unitec New Zealand has developed and incorporated evidence based nursing into all courses in their undergraduate programme. Central to this is the use of evidence based practice in patient care and the integration of technology with evidence based nursing in clinical practice.

  Title Building child health nurses' confidence and competence Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication (down) Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 13 Issue 5 Pages 26-38  
  Keywords Paediatric nursing; Nursing; Education; Evaluation  
  Abstract This article describes the development of the Generic Orientation Programme, Child Health Nursing and its perceived impact on practice after ten months, through two simultaneous evaluation surveys, seeking the views of programme participants and their nurse managers. The programme aims to equip the newly appointed RN in the child health cluster or the nurse working in a non-designated children's area with the knowledge and skills to safely care for children. These include basic anatomical and physiological differences; fluid and electrolyte management; safe administration of medication; pain management; recognition of the seriously ill child; and building partnerships with children and their families. A survey instrument eliciting qualitative and quantitative responses was used. The majority of nurse respondents believed they had gained new knowledge and described how they were incorporating it into everyday practice. Similarly, several nurse managers observed that nurses' clinical knowledge and skills had improved since attending the programme. In particular, responses from those working in non-designated children's areas suggested the programme had provided them with greater insight into the care of children.

  Title Building trust with families in neonatal intensive care units Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication (down) Kai Tiaki: Nursing New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 12 Issue 6 Pages 18-20  
  Keywords Paediatric nursing; Neonatal nursing; Parents and caregivers; Communication  
  Abstract Establishing a trusting relationship is a key therapeutic intervention for nurses working with families of hospitalised children. This article is an exploration of the definition of trust. Specifically, it considers how parents come to trust (or not) nurses in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) helps to reveal the meaning of parent-nurse trust and how this affects nursing practice. Understanding and meeting parental needs is important in developing and sustaining trust. The medical model of care often dominates in NICU. This is a deficit model that focuses on illness and treatment. However, the use of a nursing framework, such as developmentally supportive family centred care, focuses on recognising and building on the strengths of the family, by fostering trust to equip the family with the capacity to manage their infant's health care.
