Title (down) Family centred care in the newborn intensive care unit: Creating a supportive environment Type
Year 2003 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Intensive care nursing; Infants; Nurse-family relations
Abstract The environment of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a stressful one for families and is often designed to provide technical care for the infant rather than facilities that would enable and support parental and family participation in infant care. Furthermore, the author notes that the environment of the NICU emerged in literature as an obstacle to meaningful family involvement in care. However, she goes on to say that a philosophy of Family Centred Care in the NICU can offer a framework of care that supports family involvement in the infant's care and family presence in the NICU. It also promotes parental participation in decision-making for the infant and gives recognition to the importance of perspectives provided by the family. This dissertation explores the difficulties associated with the practice of Family Centred Care in the environment of the NICU. It offers recommendations for features of unit design that can promote Family Centred Care by supporting and sustaining the presence of families in the NICU and therefore facilitating their involvement in the care of their infant.

The aim of this research study was to offer insights into the requirements of caring for a dying person at home and provide information to assist nurses working in the community and other women who take on the caregiver's role.

Title (down) Developing the place and role of family within the culture of critical care nursing: An action research approach Type
Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Relationships; Nurse-family relations; Intensive care nursing; Nursing research
Abstract This research examines how nurses negotiate the context of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) while working with families. The action research described in this thesis developed through a series of meetings and conversations where the conversations supported the reflexive intent of the research. In commissioning the research, the design of the meetings and conversations were as a series of overlapping actions. Data collection and data analysis occurred in the action research by meetings, reflective conversations, ad libitum observations, and in a research journal. Conceptual maps explain the progress and findings of the research in this thesis while categories distilled from the conversations also support the findings in the research. The Family Action Research Group that was established within this project proposed a Family Assessment Form for the family to provide an assessment of themselves and the patient. Implementing this assessment tool demonstrated that clear information was needed for the family in the ICU. Findings in this research focus on developing action research and family care in ICU. Findings also focused on the role of the researcher being of and not being of the context where action research is undertaken. Recommendations include staff examining relationships for potential asymmetries and seeking ways to address these to support families and staff. Suggested strategies for developing action research in a clinical context include detailed planning, clear focusing, transparency of data, and working to explain change initiatives through the research are also included.

Title (down) Building trust to work with a grounded theory study of paediatric acute care nurses work Type
Year 2004 Publication Abbreviated Journal Auckland University of Technology Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Nurse-family relations; Nurse-patient relations; Children; Paediatric nursing; Intensive care nursing
Abstract Grounded theory methodology has guided the grounded theory methods used to explore the acute care paediatric nurses' perspective of what they do when a child has had a severe accident. The research was initiated from the experience of nursing children in the context of a rehabilitation centre and wondering how acute care nurses promoted a child's recovery after a severe unintentional injury. Many avenues were used to search international and New Zealand literature but the scarcity of literature related to what acute care paediatric nurses do was evident. Nursing children in the acute care ward after a severe accident is complex. It encompasses nursing the family when they are experiencing a crisis. It is critical that the acute care nurse monitors and ensures the child's physiological needs are met, and the nurse “works with” the child to maintain and advance medical stability. Nursing interactions are an important part of “working with”, communication is the essence of nursing. This research has focussed on the nurses' social processes whilst caring for the physical needs of the child and interacting with the family and multidisciplinary team when appropriate. An effective working-relationship with a nurse and family is founded on trust. Grounded theory methods supported the process of exploring the social processes of “building trust” whilst “working with” families in a vulnerable position. Nurses rely on rapport to be invited into a family's space to “work with” and support the re-establishment of the parenting role. The “stepping in and out” of an effective working-relationship with a family is reliant on trust. Nurses build trust by spending time to “be with”, using chat to get to know each other, involving and supporting the family to parent a “different” child and reassuring and giving realistic hope to help the child and parents cope with their changed future. A substantive theory of the concept of “building trust to work with” has been developed using grounded theory methods. The theory has been conceptualised using the perspective of seven registered nurses working in paediatric acute care wards that admit children who have had a severe traumatic accident.

Title (down) Body boundaries and discursive practices in life threatening illness: Narratives of the self Type
Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Nurse-family relations; Nursing; Ethics
Abstract This thesis tells a story from within and between the boundaries of my professional work as a nurse and my private life as the wife of a patient with life threatening illness. The events related in the thesis are told using a technique I have called writing back to myself, where my own journals and stories of the experience of living with life threatening illness provide data for analysis. The reader is invited to participate in these representations and to consider the potential for the skilful practice of nursing which may be read in the stories, and the analysis I have developed from them. I have developed the theoretical and methodological positionings for the thesis from the work of Foucault (1975,1979,1982,1988), Deleuze (1988), Ellis (1995), Richardson (1998) and other writers who utilise genealogical or narrative approaches. The analysis of my own stories in the thesis explores the philosophical and contextual positionings of the nurse as a knowledge worker through genealogies of practice and the specific intellectual work of the nurse. Local and contextual epistemologies are considered as ways of theorising nursing practice through personal knowledge, which is surfaced through the critical analysis of contextual positionings and the process of writing as inquiry.
