Abstract |
A study exploring the following hypotheses: 1. That full time Nurses and part time Nurses are satisfied by different things, therefore the two groups will exhibit different reasons for leaving the Hospital. Full time Staff will leave because of lack of satisfiers, part time Staff will leave because of lack of Dis-satisfiers.. 2. The reasons for the psycopaedic assistants leaving will be different from those for Professional Staff as the presence of promotional opportunities and the acceptance of responsibilities do not apply to the non-professional staff. 3. Salary will not be a significant factor for Staff leaving. 4, The lack of job satisfaction has had little to do with staff terminating. 5. That the absence of a School of Nursing has been the reason for a significant number of Staff leaving to Nurse elsewhere |

Abstract |
A nurses working party was formed by the primary health care SSDG in 1979 to investigate the feasibility of integrated community based nursing services. A six month trial was held in a mainly urban area (population 5637) testing these ideas in 1980. Using the existing time of the four nursing services in the area a team approach was used with all nurses being responsible to a coordinating nurse. The present role of the public nurse and district nurse was integrated – this new nurse was called a community health nurse. These two nurses worked from a base located in te trial area. Liaison and coordination were established with the Plunket and practice nurse. The results of the trial enabled the primary health care SSDG to prepare a plan on community based nursing services |

Abstract |
This study was conducted to investigate the practise of Nurses when working with depressed patients in an In Care setting. A survey of the literature shows that the role commonly prescribed for nurses who work in psychiatric settings is one that emphasises a one- on -one relationship based on models of psychotherapy and focuses on individual illness, pathology, systems and psycho dynamics. It is suggested that this is not a role which most Nurses working in New Zealand psychiatric settings would be able to implement in practise. Three perspective's of Nursing practise were explored in the study. What Nurses were seen to do in practice. What they thought they should do as evidenced in results of an exercise to rank different possible interventions, and what patients said were helpful Nursing interventions. A framework was developed for the study which depicts the process of helplessness(depression) as the negative 'mirror -image' of the process of self care. Results were analysed within this framework to determine whether or not Nurses tended to support behaviours which were indicative of movement towards helplessness or encourage those which indicated progress towards self care by their interventions. There was little evidence of positive reinforcement for independent or coping behaviours with patients in the study sample. Further, the nursing practise showed little relationship to the role prescribed in the literature. The Nurses did demonstrate a warm caring friendly approach that seemed to stem from a more traditional 'succouring, mothering' view of Nurses' role |

Established in twenty four of the twenty nine hospitals throughout the country, Nearly 12 % of registered Nurses where ICU's were established were allocated to these units but the proportion s ranged from a low of 7% in one major Board area, to a high of 26% in another major Board area |

Abstract |
This study outlines the use of grounded theory strategy to analyse the experience of nurses who become involuntarily unemployed. It then proceeds to develop a theoretical framework that explain the common patterns in this experience. Using the Glasser and Strauss (1967) Grounded Theory approach, empirical observation was undertaken expressly for the purpose of generating insights which may lead to new understanding of the subject of this study. Using two inter-related procedures known as theoretical sampling and constant comparative analysis, data is systematically collected, coordinated and subjected to an ongoing analysis. Theory is then 'grounded ' in the real world. The study involved in depth interviewing of five mid-career nurses who were involuntarily unemployed. The data was transcribed and analysed to yield theoretical concepts and categories that were integrated into propositions to explain common patterns. It will be argued that this experience is a grieving process that is more that just grieving a job loss. It is proposed that there are three phases – 1. Personal devastation due to losses experienced.. 2. A period of healing. 3. Recovery and re-establishment of the 'new' person. |

Abstract |
Accent on Nursing services is on service to patients with job satisfaction of employees placed in a less worthy positions. Indices of low levels of Nurses' job satisfaction in some areas of our Hospitals in the Auckland Hospital Board indicate the established relationships between performance and morale is not always transformed into supervisory and management practise in the work situation. As recognition of job satisfaction needs is a prime factor in change, the research study is designed to measure through questionnaire and scaling methods the effect of a one week management training course on the attitudes of superiors to the job satisfaction needs of their subordinates |

Abstract |
Health professionals, as well as clients, appear to often miss, ignore or avoid alcohol as a health problem. Changes in role for Nurses as well as changes in concepts of alcoholism, alcohol and alcohol control especially in sociological terms led to this study of Nurse's attitudes to alcohol as a social issue. Aim was to shed light on the adequacy of Nurses to function in the community and in the application of sociologically oriented programs of alcohol control. 44 Student Nurses on the point of entering clinical practise were questioned on 21 attitude items. Their responses were compared to those of 100 respondents selected as comparable demographically from 10,000 New Zealanders surveyed in 1978-79 by A.L.A.C. Differences were found, but no strong profile of distinctive 'nurse' views could be identified with confidence. No real extra concern for alcohol issues could be established giving some doubts about the efficiency of Nurses in the workplace. Nurses did differ in some areas of social viewpoints from the general New Zealand population but further studies are needed to more exactly define dimensions of these differences |
