Abstract |
The purpose of this research was to describe the characteristics of community mental health nursing care in the community. Twenty six nurses were enrolled in a study consisting of semi-structured interviews about the nature of their care. Responses were analysed to identify categories of skills. These were characterised as: establishing connectedness; promoting individual and family resilience, promoting citizenship; and addressing structural issues. Responses from the nurses are used to illustrate these categories. |

Abstract |
This project undertakes a critique and review of a decade (1990-2000) of available New Zealand literature to reveal the current state of nursing informatics utilisation in nursing practice. Since the early 1990s, nurses from diploma and baccalaureate nursing programs have been graduating with knowledge and skills in nursing informatics. Yet, when scrutinising the two main nursing publications for New Zealand, the author found scant publication of articles that pertain to this topic area of nursing. Competencies as product of the 1989 Guidelines for Teaching Nursing Informatics are a key consideration in this discussion, including ways in which the articles may reflect the content or intent of the Nursing Informatics curriculum as prescribed in these guidelines. This commentary discusses how nursing informatics has evolved in New Zealand nursing practice, situating its growth, or lack of, in the context of concurrent sociopolitical influences as well as conditions created by national and international nursing trends. Several recommendations are discussed to guide the future direction of nursing informatics for nursing education and practice in New Zealand. |

Abstract |
The progress of 22 adult patients was recorded for three days post operatively. Pain was assessed at rest and on activity three times a day using visual analogues. Nausea levels were assessed similarly. All analgesics and anti emetics administered were recorded. There was a wide range of variation in the administration of medications and consequently a wide range of effectiveness. A significant proportion of patients showed unacceptably high levels of pain indicating under treatment. Patients and nurses had conflicting expectations of who should initiate the request for pain medication |

Abstract |
This report builds upon previous research undertaken in 1992 entitled 'the ethical preparation and practice of nurses: a pilot research project'. The overall aim was to compare new data with the results and tentative conclusions of the earlier research. Following two years of data gathering and analysis and discussions with diverse groups of experienced nurses, the conclusions of the earlier study were re-appraised in light of the contemporary developments in nursing ethics. The main conclusion of the research was that several nurses already possessed an ethic that was appropriate for their practice, but that it was unrecognised by other health professionals |

Abstract |
This thesis presents a study of a nursing 'practicum' from the perspectives of nursing students and staff 'buddies'. A grounded theory approach was used to interview six nursing students during their transition placement, the final practicum of their Diploma in Nursing programme. Five staff nurse buddies selected by the students were also interviewed. An informal, conversational interview was used and data was analysed from an experiential learning perspective.This study differs from others because it focuses on the clinical experience component of nursing education, 'practicum', and includess practitioners viewpoints. At present there is a re-evaluing of experience within nursing education with a new emphasis on practice-based learning. Experience-based learning is becoming increasingly acceptable within academia as a 'seamless' education system evolves.I identified three learning stages which students' experience during practicum – initiation, exploration and consolidation. The key stage for learning through experience was exploration. Learning during this stage was predominantly buddy-directed which contradicted the self-directed curriculum design. Students and staff nurses however agreed that communication between them during this stage enabled the development of 'competence'.The learning /teaching approach used by the students and staff nurses made it difficult for students to translate their 'all-round' competencies during practicum. It is argued that it is the useof such competencies during practicum which enable nursing students to become autonomous in the attitudinal and epistemological sense. The predominantly 'technical training' approach adopted was understood by students and staff nurses to be reinforced by 'silence' from tutors.Restructuring gives the opportunity for nursing to develop an ';investigative', enquiry-based approach in practice. There will increasingly be an emphasis on practice-based research as a result of the implementation of degree and post-graduate programmes in nursing. This study highlights some aspects of nursing education and it's relationship with practice which can assist the development of such an approach |

Explores emergency nurses? perspectives and practices about the quality, importance and value of emergency nursing documentation in relation to their personal beliefs, past experiences and preferred systems of documentation; the practical and contextual factors that influence documentation practices within an emergency department (ED); their interests in documentation tools or systems; and their interests in relation to further development of documentation practices and systems. Conducts a qualitative descriptive study in which ten emergency nurses from one ED in New Zealand were interviewed using interactive interview methods, and asked to complete a Likert scale to identify the relevance of internationally- recognised general influences on documentation to their own practices in the context of an ED. Includes recommended routes to development through partnership, participation and process engagement, and strategies including document development, knowledge advancement and support. |

Abstract |
Practice development, situated at the nurse-patient interface, is a crucial aspect of professional development as a whole. The Nursing Development Unit (NDU) is one model of structured clinical practice development. NDU have their origin in a desire to provide the best possible care for patient through the support and development of autonomous therapeutic nurses. All possible sources of NDU-related literature from 1983-1999 were reviewed to determine the effectiveness of the NDU model. The purpose of the research was to establish the role of the parent organisation in supporting the ongoing viability of NDU; to describe the key processes and activities of NDU that are instrumental in the development of nursing practice; to clarify the role of the NDU in contributing to improved patient outcome; and finally to identify the critical indicator of successful NDUs for their application in the New Zealand context. The study found that British nursing journals have played a large part in promoting the NDU model. The pioneering units were given positive coverage and this has by and large continued. Accreditation systems have been important in maintaining standards and providing a generic framework for implementation. The trend is now towards internal funding from the parent organisation. The review identified a number of key features for the successful establishment of NDUs. NDUs appear to have under emphasised the development of socio-political acumen in the nursing staff. However, the NDU does offer a model for the development of confident, assertive, autonomous professionals. The NDU model values nursing as professional practice. The author concludes that the NDU model has stood the test of time, and demonstrated the ability to be at the vanguard of contemporary practice development. The model is flexible and its potential is maximised when it is tailored to meet the need of the parent organisation. The model has been successfully established in Australia, and has the potential to be adapted and refined for the New Zealand context. |
