  Title (down) Delirium in the older adult: A critical gerontological approach Type
  Year Publication Abbreviated Journal Massey University Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Geriatric nursing; Older people  
  Abstract The purpose of this thesis has been to explore the discursive production of delirium in people over the age of 65 years. The philosophical approaches underpinning the study were derived from the field of critical gerontology, postmodernism and the utilisation of a Foucauldian understanding of discourse and power/knowledge. Data sources included published documents on delirium, interviews with people over the age of 65 years who had been delirious (as well as their clinical notes), family members, registered nurses and a doctor. Textual analysis revealed the presence of two contesting and contradictory discourses that impacted on being an older person who had delirium. These were identified as the discourse of delirium as a syndrome and a personal discourse of delirium. The discourse of delirium as a syndrome is underpinned by the biomedicalisation of the ageing process. This process utilises scientific methods as the foundation from which to understand, research and provide a health service to older people with delirium. Any personal perspectives on delirium are rendered unimportant and relegated to marginalised positions. Nursing through its vicarious relationship to medicine is interpellated into deploying the discourse of delirium as a syndrome and has largely ignored the personal dimensions associated with this phenomenon. Consequently, the older delirious 'body' is known and inscribed as unruly, problematic, physically unwell, cognitively impaired and at risk. Conversely, a personal discourse of delirium privileges the individual narratives of people who have been delirious and provides a different perspective of delirium. The deployment of a personal discourse of delirium offers another position that views this group of older people as bringing to the health care setting a rich tapestry of life experiences that are more than a cluster of signs and symptoms. It is these varied life experiences that need to be included as a legitimate source of knowledge about delirium. This thesis demonstrates how nursing needs to espouse a critical gerontological position when working with older people who have delirium. Critical gerontology provides nurses with the theoretical tools to challenge the status quo and uncover the multiple, varied, contradictory and complex representations of delirium in older people.

  Title (down) Deconstructing risk assessment and management in mental health nursing Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 43 Issue 1 Pages 19-27  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Risk management; Policy; Culture  
  Abstract The aims of the study were to provide a deconstructive analysis of the concepts of risk and risk management, and to explore the historical context of mental disorder and the concept of risk, the clinical context of risk assessment and management, the cultural, political and economic context of risk, and the impact on mental health nursing and consumers of mental health services. This is undertaken by providing a critical review of the history of mental illness and its relationship to risk, examination of government policy on clinical risk management, analysis of a risk assessment model and a discussion of the political and economic factors that have influenced the use of risk assessment and management in clinical practice. The concept of risk and its assessment and management have been employed in the delivery of mental health services as a form of contemporary governance. One consequence of this has been the positioning of social concerns over clinical judgement. The process employed to assess and manage risk could be regarded as a process of codification, commodification and aggregation. In the mental health care setting this can mean attempting to control the actions and behaviours of consumers and clinicians to best meet the fiscal needs of the organisation. The authors conclude that the mental health nursing profession needs to examine carefully its socially mandated role as guardians of those who pose a risk to others to ensure that its practice represents its espoused therapeutic responsibilities.

  Title (down) Decisions, decisions: Factors that influence student selection of final year clinical placements Type
  Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Clinical assessment; Nursing; Education; Students  
  Abstract Clinical practice is an essential and integral component of nursing education. The decision-making process involved in student selection of clinical placements is influenced by a range of factors which are internal or external to students. As there was little research that explored these factors and the influence they have on student decisions, the author sought to investigate this further. A mixed-method approach was used, using a questionnaire and focus group interview, to give breadth and depth to the research. This study found that students are particularly influenced by previous positive experiences, or an interest in a particular area of practice. Their personality will also influence their placement decisions. Nurse preceptors and clinical lecturers also provide a key support role to students in the clinical environment.

  Title (down) Decision making the explicit evidence-based way: Comparing benefits, harms and costs Type Journal Article
  Year 1999 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 1 Pages 33-42  
  Keywords Evidence-based medicine; Nursing; Guidelines; Clinical decision making  
  Abstract This paper explores the relationship between evidence, decision tools, and the effectiveness of the nursing contribution to health services. It examines a continuum of decision-making within the international trend of the Effectiveness Movement, drawing on international literature and local experience. It draws on the concept of explicit evidence-based decision-making, the guideline development movement as exemplified through the New Zealand Guidelines Group, information technology in decision support, and the challenges of an evidential approach to nursing. This article is based on a paper given at 'The Pride and Passion of Professional Nursing Practice' College of Nurses' Aotearoa (NZ) Conference, Rotorua, 8-9 October 1998.

  Title (down) Cultural safety: Living with disability Type Journal Article
  Year 2002 Publication Whitireia Nursing Journal Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 9 Issue Pages 14-19  
  Keywords Cultural safety; People with disabilities; Nursing models  
  Abstract This article outlines some of the health experiences and concerns of people with physical and/or mental disabilities. These experiences and concerns are explored within the context of the practice of cultural safety. In 1996, the Nursing Council of New Zealand adopted its definition of cultural safety and defines 'culture', in the context of 'cultural safety', as involving all people who are not part of the culture of nursing. Each person with a disability is unique, and they may also be part of a larger disability culture, which has its own shared experiences, values, beliefs and lifestyles. People with disabilities are also a minority within the population. Therefore, any power they might have within their own culture is minimal, compared to the advantages enjoyed by the rest of the population.

  Title (down) Cultural safety, where does it fit? A literature review Type Journal Article
  Year 2002 Publication Vision: A Journal of Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 8 Issue 14 Pages 27-30  
  Keywords Cultural safety; Cross-cultural comparison; History of nursing  
  Abstract This literature review discusses the history of the inclusion of culture into nursing studies. There is a small sample of overseas literature for critique with a focus on the inclusion of cultural safety in New Zealand. The concept of cultural safety was first introduced into New Zealand in the late 1980s. It was adopted by the New Zealand Nursing Council for nurses and midwives in 1992 and became part of the basic curriculum for nursing and midwifery education.

  Title (down) Cultural safety and nursing education in Aotearoa and Te Waipounamu Type
  Year 2002 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Cultural safety; Maori; Nursing; Education  
  Abstract The research on which this thesis is based involves both a private narrative and a public narrative, with the story of cultural safety, and the history, theory and the future direction gathered into one qualitative work. The work is divided into three sections. The first is entitled, Ko Wai Matou? The Private Narrative. This section seeks to explore the historical, social, educational, physical, emotional, political and moral influences and ephiphanies which brought about the personality which introduced cultural safety ideas into nursing and midwifery. Early nursing practice is investigated and examples from practice are used to illustrate learning and consolidation of the ideas which led to Cultural Safety Theory. The second section is entitled He Huarahi Hou: A New Pathway. This section explains the progress of the theory and its relationship to education pedagogy and to nursing practice. Comparison between the work of Madeline Leininger and the Transcultural Theory of Nursing and the New Zealand concept of cultural safety is undertaken. The role and application of the Treaty of Waitangi to the theory of cultural safety is explored in this section. The third section, entitled He Whakawhanuitanga: The Public Narrative, looks at the introduction of cultural safety into the nursing education system and its implementation. The public and media reaction to the inclusion of cultural safety in the national examination for nursing registration and the subsequent parliamentary response are noted. The interviews with nursing and midwifery leadership, Maori and pakeha key players in the process and consumer views of the ideas are documented and pertinent excerpts have been included. The work concludes with a discussion on the likely future of cultural safety as a theory and in practice and outlines several issues which represent a challenge to the viability of the concept in nursing and midwifery education. The author notes that the story of cultural safety is a personal story, but also a very public one. It is set in neo-colonial New Zealand, but has implications for indigenous people throughout the world. It is about human samenesses and human differences, but is also a story about all interactions between nurses and patients because all are power laden. Finally, she points out that, although it is about nursing, it is also relevant to all encounters, all exchanges between health care workers and patients.

  Title (down) Critical social analysis of acute institutionally based mental health nursing following an action research project Type
  Year 2001 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library, Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Hospitals; Quality of health care  
  Abstract This study using action research involving twelve registered nurses worked toward improving nursing care in an acute mental health in-patient service. Following focus groups with consumers, families, nurses, doctors, and allied health professionals, the action research group developed projects over eighteen months to improve continuity and consistency of nursing care. There was a subsequent restructuring of nursing service to better define leadership, accountability and to strengthen care delivery. The second half of the thesis involves a critical social analysis of the research data and produces a theory of mental health nursing which, the author suggests, has wide application in practice.
