  Title (down) Surveillance or support: Divergent discourses in Plunket nursing practice Type
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Public health; Children; Community health nursing; Plunket  
  Abstract Plunket nurses are New Zealand child health nurses who work in the community with the families of new babies and preschool children. Their work is called child health surveillance and this is considered to involve routine and unproblematic practices which are generally carried out in homes and clinics in the context of a relationship with the child's mother (Ministry of Health 1996; Royal New Zealand Plunket Society 1997). However, evidence in the literature that surveillance can have implications for power relations throws doubts on official claims that the relationship between the mother and nurse operates as a partnership (Trout and Polaschek 1996). The purpose of this thesis was to explore the way in which surveillance is constituted within the discourses of Plunket nurses and to examine these discourses for any implications of unequal power relations. Foucauldian discourse theory and poststructuralism, which informed this thesis, provided the opportunity to challenge assumptions about power and knowledge in the child health context. Analysis of the discourses generated by interviews with five Plunket nurses revealed that, contrary to the claims in the official literature, the relationship between the Plunket nurse and the mother is not that of an equal partnership but is constituted in various and unexpected ways. It was through the nurses' discourses of surveillance that the power relations underpinning this relationship were surfaced. While these discourses suggested that many mothers who use the nursing service are actively involved on their own terms, there are a number of women for whom the surveillance activities of the nurse have been shown to be particularly intrusive (Mayall 1986; Clinton 1988; Bloor and McIntosh 1990; Knott and Latter 1999). It may be primarily this unwelcome surveillance which accounts for the considerable number of women who, the statistics show, cease using Plunket services particularly in the early months. It is perhaps for this reason that the nurses in this study locate themselves as being caught between divergent discourses of support and surveillance. Findings indicate that the resolution of this dilemma by abandoning surveillance practices might improve maternal satisfaction with the Plunket nursing service. The author concludes that a child health service responsive to mothers' stated needs rather than institutional requirements or the nurse's own agenda could lead to a more open and equal relationship between mother and nurse. This relationship would be likely to benefit mothers and babies and, at the same time, enhance both nursing practice and nurses' satisfaction with their work.

  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Evidence-based medicine; Nursing research  
  Abstract This systematic review was conducted by the New Zealand Centre for Evidence Based Nursing, a collaborating centre of The Joanna Briggs Institute for Evidence Based Nursing and Midwifery. The aim was to present the best available evidence on interventions, which are effective in preventing or reducing the prevalence of complications associated with suctioning, in hospitalised adult patients with an artificial airway who are breathing spontaneously or are artificially ventilated and who require suctioning. The specific questions addressed were as follows: Which methods of suctioning reduce the prevalence of mucosal trauma or mucosal dysfunction, and promote the removal of respiratory secretions? Which techniques or methods are effective in reducing the occurrence of suctioning -induced hypoxaemia, during or following the suctioning procedure? Which techniques or methods are effective in minimising the haemodynamic or pulmonary complications associated with the suctioning procedure?

  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Professional development; Alcoholism; Nursing specialties; Nursing; Nurse managers; Drug abuse; Substance abuse  
  Abstract This dissertation had two main aims. The first was to explore the literature from which nurse leaders of alcohol and other drug services might develop their leadership skills so as to enhance nursing practice within an interdisciplinary alcohol and other drug team. The second was to further utilise these skills to develop a 'toolkit' which would assist in the successful management of the team but would also aid with workforce development. In addition, this dissertation was linked to the Nursing Council of New Zealand Competencies for the Registered Nurse Scope of Practice (2005) and Competencies for Advanced Nursing Practice (2001). This dissertation provides direction for the nurse leader wishing to develop their toolkit. Implications for the advancement of nursing are suggested.

  Title (down) Storytelling: The story of my advancing rural nursing journey Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Rural nursing  
  Abstract The author tells a story to describe her advancing practice as a registered nurse practising in the rural context. Storytelling is a way to add to the growing knowledge of rural nursing practice in New Zealand. By sharing her rural nursing story through a storytelling framework, she suggests that other nurses may be in a position to utilise this framework and tell their own stories. She has adapted a formalised storytelling framework from McDrury and Alterio (2002). Concepts of the storytelling framework, including reflection, critical reflection and critiquing, can lead to new knowledge and understanding of nursing practice. Past experience is a component of this framework as are the concepts of surface and deep learning. In this way, nursing practice can be deconstructed then reconstructed for new knowledge to be obtained. The innermost thoughts and feelings of the nurse are an integral part of this whole process and need to be acknowledged. The author wanted to answer questions she asked of herself, namely, “how do I practise and how can I improve my practice for the benefit of my patients?” The rural context is expanded upon in her nursing story as this is where she practises as a registered nurse. Her various nursing roles, including advanced practice as a district nurse and rural nurse specialist, are described in depth as are the two areas where she has lived and worked as a rural nurse.

  Title (down) Stories within stories: What are client stories and how do community mental health nurses work with them? Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Mental health; Psychiatric Nursing; Nurse-patient relations  
  Abstract There is limited nursing research as to how mental health nurses work with client stories. Furthermore mental health nurses have not been asked how they would define a client story within their practice. Client's stories allow promotion of the storyteller's experience leading to increased self awareness by supporting growth, and personal development of the individual through exploration of their experience. While listening and working with these stories, mental health nurses are able to interpret, reframe and validate the experiences and meanings disclosed over time. Three community mental health nurses were interviewed about how they identified client stories within their clinical practice. They explained how they created an environment for stories to be told, and worked to enhance meanings, and view alternative possibilities by 'carrying' the story until the client was ready to explore it. By working and understanding stories, mental health nurses were able to work collaboratively with the client to provide humanistic care. Themes of therapeutic relationship, purposeful use of self, and narrative as therapy were identified within the nurse's stories, providing an understanding of how mental health nurses practice. This study was framed by narrative inquiry and influenced by Riessman and Polkinghorne. Core stories are presented from the analysis of the nurses stories about how they defined 'story' and worked with the client stories.

  Title (down) Stories of lesbian in/visibility in nursing Type Journal Article
  Year 2001 Publication Nursing Outlook Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 49 Issue 1 Pages 14-19  
  Keywords Sexuality; Nursing; Identity; Work  
  Abstract A study of the life histories of five self-identified lesbian women in nursing is reported. A metastory of “In/Visibility” captured the essence of lesbians being the focus of intense scrutiny while at the same time feeling the pressure to keep their lifestyle and identity hidden from others. Seven story themes were elaborated: closeting of lesbianism in nursing, isolating and hiding from self and others, living a double-life, self-loathing and shame, experiencing discrimination from others, keeping safe, and threatening others who are closeted.
