  Title (down) Journeys cross divides: Nurses and midwives' experiences of choosing a path following separation of the professions Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Midwifery; Nursing; Policy; Careers in nursing  
  Abstract In 2003 the Health Practitioners Competence Assurance Act was introduced and established separate regulatory authorities for nursing and midwifery. This study is designed to explore the experiences of dually registered practitioners affected by this divide, as now there are two separate and possible paths, and two corresponding sets of competencies to fulfil. The design for this qualitative descriptive study utilised the written and oral narratives of three practitioners affected by this professional regulation and demonstrated its impact on their career development. Individual storytelling, as narrative, provided a theoretical lens aiding insight into their experience and pattern of decision making. In addition, symbolic consideration of the study data was provided by collective storytelling via the perennial myth of the hero journey. Shifting professional ground following the Health Practitioners Competence Act 2003 generated a focus for the inquiry into practitioners' modes of adjustment. For the practitioners in the study, transition between the occupational roles of nursing and midwifery comprised the possible career trajectories. A status passage, as the process of change from one social status to another, is described and includes the transitional experience of anticipation, expectation, contrast, and change. The author suggests that the findings from this research provide illumination of the nuances of professional decision making as a lived experience, and highlight how these practitioners dealt with shifting meaning, values, awareness, choices, and relationships. Aspects of group agency and identity, change management, and professional role transition were revealed. Life pattern, revealed through narrative, was an important research construct for exposing the ways in which the participants negotiated change, and displayed the function of their thinking and reasoning through dilemmas. Perception of individual and group identity revealed attitudes of esteem to the dominant discourse, and exposed dynamic tension between work patterns and life stage. Renegotiating arrangements of personal and professional commitment resulted from this dynamic interplay, and the relationship to stress and burnout was explored.

  Title (down) Islands, islandness and nursing: Advanced nursing practice in rural remote and small island areas 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; Primary health care  
  Abstract This dissertation focuses on the concepts of island, island-ness, and isolation. It aims to further advance the national and international literature relating to the health beliefs of island people as linked to the provision of primary health care services within New Zealand. New Zealand is an island nation made up of two main islands and numerous outlying islands, relatively isolated from the rest of the world by water. This geography means going anywhere from New Zealand involves traveling either “over” or “on” the sea. All people of New Zealand since the first inhabitants, whether residents or visitors, have arrived to New Zealand either by sea or more recently by plane. The population of New Zealand is 25% rural, with most of these rural dwellers residing in the South Island, and several of the smaller off shore Islands. This builds a sense of culture of the people, or tangata whanua (the people of the land), for whom there are degrees of island-ness, and the characteristics of this can be seen amongst the people of New Zealand. A further challenge which is discussed comes in the form of the “island penalty” which encompasses high transport costs, long distances to travel to main centres, lack of specialists and trained health workers, effects of migration and tourism, and communication difficulties. The more isolated people are, the tougher the challenges become. Most rural island populations are served by lay care workers, volunteers, and rural and remote nurses. Nurses are often the main health care providers to small island populations, and they demonstrate advanced nursing practice which is acknowledged internationally as meeting Nurse Practitioner competencies. As a group these nurses possess knowledge of the extrinsic and intrinsic factors involved in the health needs and health determinants of these island communities. Researching these advanced nursing roles adds to the body of knowledge around isolated and island communities. The author suggests that studying the concepts of islands, islandness, and isolation in relation to health beliefs will bring more understanding of services for the advanced rural nurse to consider in developing appropriate, accessible, affordable and adaptable Primary Health Care which is fair and equitable.
