Abstract |
This study was undertaken to ascertain the opinions of nursing students at Wellington Polytechnic (now Massey University Campus of Wellington) about their current uniform worn on clinical placements. As the NZNO National Student Unit representative at Wellington Polytechnic, it was brought to my attention by my fellow students that the current uniform was not particularly functional. As a result of these comments I concluded the best way for students to voice their opinions further was to circulate a survey. The survey questioned the students about the current uniform and what they thought the future uniform might be. The survey was available for collection by students for a two week period in July 1998. Participation was voluntary and anonymous. It was approved by the Research and Ethics Committee, School of Nursing, Health and Environmental Sciences, Wellington Polytechnic. The results were that sixty percent of students supported a change in the current uniform. Most students chose a tunic top as their preferred option. If there was to be a change, students would be prepared to spend $20-49. Consequently permission has been granted by the Head of Department – School of Nursing to investigate a change to a tunic style top. The item will be trialed by those who wish to purchase it in 1999. I believe that it is of utmost importance that student satisfaction with their clinical uniform is assessed at regular intervals to ensure that the students take a pride in their presentation and the uniform serves the purpose for which it is intended |

Abstract |
Reports on one aspect of a larger study, which used qualitative methods to critically explore the social construction of men as nurses. Draws upon literature pertaining to gender and nursing, and interviews with 18 NZ men, to describe the factors underpinning decisions to turn away from 'malestream' occupations and enter a profession stereotyped as 'women's work'. Outlines the five thematic groupings revealed to be significant with respect to the decision-making process. |

Abstract |
Explores through semi-structured, in-depth interviews how 11 nurses working at Christchurch Hospital experienced menopause in the workplace and in their personal lives. Uses thematic analysis to highlight how the stigma surrounding menopause led to the nurses' fear of being treated as a menopausal woman, rather than as a professional. |

Abstract |
This article describes the findings of a research study on the experience of teaching cultural safety. As a teacher of cultural safety, the first author was interested in exploring the experience of teaching the topic with other cultural safety teachers. A qualitative approach situated in a critical theory paradigm was used for the study. The study was informed by the ideas of Foucault and feminist theory. Fourteen women between ages 20 and 60 were interviewed about their experience of teaching cultural safety. Five women were Maori and 9 were Pakeha. Following data analysis, three major themes were identified: that the Treaty of Waitangi provides for an examination of power in cultural safety education; that the broad concept of difference influences the experience of teaching cultural safety; and that the experience of teaching cultural safety has personal, professional, and political dimensions. These dimensions were experienced differently by Maori and Pakeha teachers. |

Abstract |
In this study a qualitative descriptive methodology with focus group interviews was used to explore with users of mental health services, the attitudes, knowledge and skills that they need in mental health nurses. Users of mental health services valued the therapeutic work of mental health nurses, and identified positive attitudes towards users of mental health services as essential in mental health nurses. However, they did not consistently experience a therapeutic approach in their interactions with mental health nurses. In a sociopolitical climate where the views of users of mental health services are increasingly incorporated into education and the planning and delivery of services, there is a need for more research that reflects the perspective of users. |

Abstract |
This research project utilised a case study approach to give ward managers a voice in the literature, by exploring and describing from their perspective the benefits and challenges of one particular nursing undergraduate clinical education model. The tertiary education provider contracts the health provider to provide Clinical Nurse Educators (CNEs) to support second and third year undergraduate nursing students during their clinical experiences. The CNEs are seconded from their respective wards to meet the organisation's contractual obligations. Data were gathered from two ward managers using semi-structured interviews. The findings elucidate the role of the undergraduate CNE, highlighting benefits such as the CNE being supernumerary to ward rosters and having time to teach, not only supervise students. CNEs are student-focused and easily accessible as they are based on site. The CNE was the one person who was 'there' for a student as a student's preceptor can change shift-by-shift and day-by-day. One significant challenge which emerged was the replacement of ward staff, not only of senior nurses who can leave their wards for up to 12 weeks to undertake the CNE role but also that of the student's preceptor if the student's preceptor was on annual, sick or study leave. Other challenges such as the inability of ward managers to pre-book casual staff; preceptor work-loads; skill-mix issues and fluctuating fulltime equivalents are also discussed. |

Abstract |
In this research report, a resident reveals the challenges associated with firstly becoming a nursing home resident, and then trying to establish a new sense of 'home'. The story supports a conclusion that nurses' knowledge of the unique 'admission story' of each resident, and their individual understandings of home, is essential in promoting their ongoing comfort. Although approximately 30,000 older adults live in residential aged care, little research has been done on their experience. |

Abstract |
This paper is a report of a study to determine the construction of male nurses as gay, and to describe how this discourse impacts on a group of New Zealand male nurses. This social constructionist study drew on data collected from existing texts on men, nursing and masculinity and interviews with 18 New Zealand men conducted in 2003-2004. Discourse analysis, informed by masculinity theory and queer theory, was used to analyse the data. Despite the participants' beliefs that the majority of male nurses are heterosexual, the stereotype persists. A paradox emerged between the 'homosexual' general nurse and the 'heterosexual' pyschiatric nurse. The stigma associated with homosexuality exposes male nurses to homophobia in the workplace. The heterosexual men employed strategies to avoid the presumption of homosexuality; these included: avoiding contact with gay colleagues and overt expression of their heterosexuality. These stigmatising discourses create a barrier to caring and, aligned with the presence of homophobia in the workplace, deter men's entry into the profession and may be important issues with respect to their retention. |

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. |
