Abstract |
A paper presenting the findings of a small research project involving a group of self-selected senior nurses of Wellington Hospital to explore the nature of nursing practice in the care and management of hospitalised patients and to formalise the language that would acknowledge its significance in the current effort of hospitals to define patient care pathways. The nature of hospital nursing practice was described in themes of a generic process of nurse-patient care that articulates a distinct specialism of hospital nursing, whatever the hospital department in which nurses hold positions. |

Abstract |
The study was commissioned to define the role of Advanced Nurses Practitioner to inform the establishment of a clinical career pathway. Four new, loosely defined ANP positions were created and the role evolution over three months was described. The impact on the multidisciplinary team functioning was to be given particular attention. The research design was developed in collaboration with the ANP Project Team of the service. Data were derived from surveys of nurses in the units and other staff before and at the end of the 3 months period; interviews with the ANPs and official client advocates; daily journals and weekly logs kept by the ANPs; statistical records of patient loads and staffing. The findings presented the role as the interface of unit management and direct client care, with the ANPs orchestrating the activities of the unit. The ANPs developed the role differently according to quite distinct conceptualisations of nursing which influenced whether direct client care was pivotal or peripheral to the role. This had an effect on whether the strains of the service were seen as inhibitory of focal to the development of the ANP practice. There was little change in unit staff satisfaction. Attempts to incorporate client advocacy to determine change in client satisfaction were unsuccessful. The ANPs used the research as a process of role development |

Abstract |
The aim of this study was to determine the feasibility of establishing a nurse practitioner-led, family focused, primary health care clinic within a New Zealand primary school environment as a means of addressing the health needs of children and families. A secondary aim was to ascertain whether public health nurses were the most appropriate nurses to lead such a clinic. Utilising a community needs analysis method, data were collected from demographic data, 17 key informant interviews and two focus group interviews. Analysis was exploratory and descriptive. Findings included the identification of a wide range of health issues. These included asthma management and control issues, the need to address poor parenting, and specific problems of the refugee and migrant population. Findings also demonstrated that participant understanding of the role of the public health nurse was less than anticipated and that community expectations were such that for a public health nurse to lead a primary health care clinic it would be likely that further skills would be required. Outcomes from investigating the practicalities of establishing a nurse practitioner-led clinic resulted in the preparation of a community-developed plan that would serve to address the health needs of children and families in the area the study was undertaken. Services that participants identified as being appropriate included health information, health education, health assessment and referral. The authors conclude that the establishment of a nurse practitioner-led, family focused, primary health care clinic in a primary school environment was feasible. While a public health nurse may fulfil the role of the nurse practitioner, it was established that preparation to an advanced level of practice would be required. |
