Title | Vital Signs: Research Advisory Paper: Highlights of the NZNO Employment Survey, 2011 | Type | Report | ||
Year | 2011 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Download from: http://www.nzno.org.nz/services/resources/publications | |

Keywords | |||||
Abstract | This report documents the results of a survey of a random sample of NZNO members. A 10% sample was drawn by computer from the 45,000 membership, representing nurses and care givers from across New Zealand. Midwives were excluded from the sample on this occasion. Issues related to age demographics, low pay, increasing workload, and significant organisational restructuring continue to contribute to a considerable part of the nursing workforce who will be looking to leave nursing, to nurse overseas, or to retire within the next ten years. These appear to be balanced for now partly by other factors leading to nurses continuing to work long past the normal retirement age. Changes to the Enrolled Nurse scope of practice (including a drop in employment opportunities as Enrolled Nurses), difficulties experienced by some newly qualified New Zealand nurses finding suitable employment or supported Nurse Entry to Practice places, and evidence for a drop in the availability of paid access to continuing professional development particularly in the DHB sector, if not addressed urgently, may have longer term implications for the New Zealand nursing workforce and the health service. Specific issues for nurses under 30 years of age, particularly related to shift work practices and family responsibilities, were explored in more detail in a separate report Young Nurses in Aotearoa New Zealand and specific recommendations made for the long term retention of these skilled and vital health workers. |

Title | The context of nursing in New Zealand prisons from historical and contemporary perspectives | Type | |||
Year | 2007 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | NZNO Library | |
Volume | Issue | Pages | 94 pp. | ||
Keywords | |||||
Abstract | This dissertation by Deborah Alleyne explores the current context of nursing in New Zealand prisons through rediscovering the history of its introduction and development, and review of relevant literature. Prison nursing is recognised as a unique branch of the wider nursing profession by virtue of the environment in which nurses work and the population for whom they provide care. Four key themes are identified from the literature review: custody versus caring; nurses' relationship with custody staff; nurses' relationship with prisoners; isolation. | ||||

Volume | Issue | 19 | Pages | 5-8 | |
Keywords | Cultural Safety -- Education; Curriculum; Education- Nursing | ||||
Abstract | There needs to be more practice-focused research about how cultural safety is experienced by the recipient of care and how it is applied in nursing and healthcare delivery. [...]sociology, science, and knowledge developed from within northern hemisphere societies. Because the ground is different for knowledge arising from the New Zealand experience, theorising cultural safety must be different too. | ||||

Title | Impact of the Christchurch earthquakes on clients receiving health care in their homes | Type | Journal Article | ||
Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
Volume | 4 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 4-10 |
Keywords | Stress Disorders, Post-traumatic; older people; disaster response | ||||
Abstract | Eighteen months after the first of many large earthquakes, Christchurch-based home health care provider Nurse Maude surveyed staff to identify the impact on the well-being of their mainly elderly clients. Responses from 168 staff identified five key issues. These were: mental health, anxiety, and depression, symptoms similar to post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD); unsafe environments; loneliness and isolation; difficulty coping with change; and poor access to services. To meet the needs of clients in this challenging environment, staff felt they needed more time to care, including listening to stories, calming clients and dealing with clients who had become slower and more cautious. Damaged and blocked roads, and the fact that many clients moved house without warning, added to the time it took to deliver care in the home. This survey has helped Nurse Maude build on its initial post-earthquake responses to better meet the needs of clients and support health-care workers in this stressful environment. | ||||

Title | Preparedness: Lessons for educators from the Christchurch disaster | Type | Journal Article | ||
Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
Volume | 4 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 11-16 |
Keywords | Education, Nursing; Case studies; Disasters | ||||
Abstract | This study describes the impact of a sudden, traumatic natural disaster on a bachelor of nursing programme, and the capacity and processes required to minimise disruption to programme delivery and student learning. This descriptive case study, undertaken across 2011-2012, collected data through interviews, a survey and artefact collection. Six key themes emerged from the inductive and descriptive statistical analyses: context; communication; leadership and followership; decision making; the need to balance shifting priorities around professional responsibilities and personal imperatives; and taking action and action plans. The conclusions reached emphasise safety as the first priority, encourage personal risk mitigation, and emphasise the importance of ongoing support and flexibility for all staff and students as well as the need for clear communication and decision-making. What is perhaps most important to take from this experience is that a plan does not, by itself, equal preparedness; every institution must look to its own context, consider its own priorities, and formulate its own approach to preparedness. | ||||

Title | Staff support and quality of care provided by palliative care nurses: A systematic literature review | Type | Journal Article | ||
Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
Volume | 4 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 25-32 |
Keywords | Hospice and palliative nursing; Systematic review; Staff support; Quality of health care | ||||
Abstract | There is a considerable body of literature discussing the stressors experienced by nurses and other health professionals when caring for those who are terminally ill and dying. Also, a number of articles offer suggestions, including the views of staff, as to what type of professional and organisational support is required when working in this often demanding specialty. There are, however, very few reports of assessment of the effectiveness of such supportive interventions and in particular, the impact of such support on the quality of patient care. This literature review examines any reported relationships between the quality of nursing provided by palliative care nurses and the staff support received by those nurses. | ||||

Title | Maori nurses and smoking; Conflicted identities and motivations for smoking cessation | Type | Journal Article | ||
Year | 2013 | Publication | Kai Tiaki Nursing Research | Abbreviated Journal | Available through NZNO library |
Volume | 4 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 33-38 |
Keywords | Maori nurses; Smoking cessation; smoking; Qualitative research | ||||
Abstract | This research aims to design and test the feasibility of an intervention promoting smoking cessation, and reducing smoking relapse, among Māori nurses who smoke. It is being conducted in two phases. Phase one, a national web-based survey, conducted in December 2012, explored the views of Māori nurses (smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers) regarding smoking. This paper reports on the analysis of qualitative responses from 410 nurses and nursing students identifying as Māori who completed an online survey. Five themes were identified: beliefs about smoking; ?for our tamariki?; personal stories of quitting; dissatisfaction with current approaches; and plans for future strategies. The findings confirm that nurses who smoke may experience feelings of conflict, and regard their behaviour as inconsistent with their role as nurses and health promoters. Nurses who smoke must be supported to become, and to stay, smokefree. Tailored Māori-specific cessation initiatives are needed. | ||||

Title | The lived experience of adults with myasthenia gravis : a phenomenological study | Type | |||
Year | 2012 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Available from the NZNO Library | |
Volume | Issue | Pages | 120 pp | ||
Keywords | Myasthenia gravis; Myasthenia gravis --Patients --Attitudes; Myasthenia gravis --Patients --Care; Phenomenological studies | ||||
Abstract | Examines the lived experiences of adults with myasthenia gravis(MG). Uses an interpretive phenomenological approach applying the research methodology of van Manen (1990). Interviews seven people living with MG and records their experiences of the disease. Poses broadly-worded questions about various topics related to MG, that include diagnosis, symptoms, treatments and coping strategies, guided by individual experiences. Reveals by means of thematic analysis that MG affects every aspect of a person?s ?lifeworld?: their sense of time, body, and space and their relationships with others. Highlights three main themes embedded in the data experienced by a person with MG: living with uncertainty, living with weakness and living with change. | ||||
