  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) Characterising Maori nursing practice Type Journal Article
  Year 2006 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 22 Issue 2 Pages 203-213  
  Keywords Registered nurses; Maori; Nursing models; Culture  
  Abstract This paper summarises research which addresses the question What might constitute Maori nursing practice? The research design adopted was influenced by kaupapa Maori methodology and used a semi-structured, qualitative, in-depth interview process. It was found that by understanding the current experiences of Maori registered nurses, their reflections on their preparation for practice, and their current practice, it is possible to identify the present and future training and practice needs of Maori nurses. Maori nursing practice can be characterised as having five features: the promotion of cultural affirmation including cultural awareness and identity; the support of, and access to Maori networks; the adoption of Maori models of health; the enabling of visibility and pro-activity as Maori nurses; and, the validation of Maori nurses as effective health professionals. Three recommendations for promoting Maori nursing practice are made in relation to staff in the workplace and in nurse education programmes: all nursing staff need to be alert to: 1. the impact of western scientific models on Maori healthcare; 2. the (often passive) non-acceptance of Maori within mainstream institutions; and iii) the benefits of valuing indigenous nursing programmes.

  Title (down) Caring for refugees in emergency departments in New Zealand Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 20 Issue 2 Pages 24-35  
  Keywords Emergency nursing; Culture; Mental health; Health status  
  Abstract This paper outlines some of the special health needs of people from refugee backgrounds who present in the emergency department, and the role of emergency department nurses in improving care for refugee and migrant peoples. Refugees and asylum seekers represent a significant proportion of attendees in emergency departments in Auckland Hospitals. Culture and ethnicity are a major factor to be considered in addressing the health care needs of this population. Other factors such as the physical and psychological sequelae of the refugee experience, health care experience prior to arrival in New Zealand, poverty, language, and the trauma of resettlement also have a major impact on health care seeking behaviours.

  Title (down) Atrocity tales: The language of terrorism in nursing Type
  Year 2004 Publication Whitireia Nursing Journal Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 11 Issue Pages 27-35  
  Keywords Gender; Male nurses; Culture  
  Abstract In this paper, the author explores the concept of 'professional terrorism'. He exposes discrimination against male nurses as being a form of professional terrorism, primarily as it is enacted through use of language. He presents the concept of horizontal violence as a way to understand why nurses, as a marginalised group, perform oppressive acts towards male nurses, who are similarly oppressed. He outlines the cost of such a culture on nursing practice and presents strategies for change.

  Title (down) Aroha mai: Nurses, nursing and mental illness Type
  Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal University of Auckland Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Mental health; Nursing; Culture  
  Abstract This research takes an autoethnographical approach to exploring the connections between being a nurse, doing nursing work, and experiencing a mental illness. Data is comprised of autoethnographical stories from 18 nurses. Drawing on Lyotard's (1988) postmodern philosophy of 'regimes of phrases' and 'genres of discourse,' the nurses' stories yielded three motifs: Nursing, Tangata Whaiora (people seeking wellness) and Bullying. Interpretation of the motifs was undertaken by identifying and exploring connected or dissenting aspects within and between the motifs.

  Title (down) An exploration of the experiences of cultural safety educators in New Zealand: An action research approach Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Transcultural Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 4 Pages 339-348  
  Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing; Education; Teaching methods; Organisational culture; Maori  
  Abstract This research is a study of the experiences of four cultural safety educators in nursing education in Aotearoa, New Zealand. Action research methods assisted the participants to implement change in their practice and gain positive personal involvement in the study. Reflective diaries provided the major tool in this process as participants were able to achieve at least one action research cycle by identifying issues, planning action, observing the action, and reflecting. The findings of the research revealed that the participants not only coped with everyday stressors of teaching but were also required to formulate knowledge for cultural safety. For the Maori participants, their stress was confounded with recruiting and retaining Maori students and macro issues such as commitment to their iwi (tribe). Lack of support to teach cultural safety was identified to be a key theme for all participants. An analysis of this theme revealed that many issues were organisational in nature and out of their control. Action research provided a change strategy for participants to have a sense of control of issues within their practice. Recommendations include the following: support for cultural safety educators to have a dialogue on a regular basis, the introduction of nurse educator programmes, paid leave provisions for educators to conduct and publish research so that a body of knowledge can be developed, and that Maori cultural safety educators be recognised for their professional and cultural strengths so that they do not fall victim to burnout.

  Title (down) A secondary care nursing perspective on medication administration safety Type Journal Article
  Year 2007 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 60 Issue 1 Pages 58-66  
  Keywords Patient safety; Drug administration; Organisational culture; Nursing  
  Abstract This paper reports on a study to explore how nurses in a secondary care environment understand medication administration safety and the factors that contribute to, or undermine, safe practice during this process. Data were collected in 2005 using three focus groups of nurses that formed part of a larger study examining organisational safety and medication administration from a nursing perspective. A narrative approach was employed to analyse the transcripts. Participants had good understandings of organisational culture in relation to medication safety and recognised the importance of effective multi-disciplinary teams in maintaining a safe environment for patients. Despite this, they acknowledged that not all systems work well, and offered a variety of ways to improve current medication practices. These findings highlight the meaningful contribution nurses can make to patient safety and emphasise the importance of including the nursing voice in any quality improvement initiatives.
