  Title (down) The benefits and challenges of one New Zealand nursing undergraduate clinical education model: A case study Type
  Year 2004 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Clinical supervision; Preceptorship; Education; Students; Nursing  
  Abstract This research project utilised a case study approach to give ward managers a voice in the literature, by exploring and describing from their perspective the benefits and challenges of one particular nursing undergraduate clinical education model. The tertiary education provider contracts the health provider to provide Clinical Nurse Educators (CNEs) to support second and third year undergraduate nursing students during their clinical experiences. The CNEs are seconded from their respective wards to meet the organisation's contractual obligations. Data were gathered from two ward managers using semi-structured interviews. The findings elucidate the role of the undergraduate CNE, highlighting benefits such as the CNE being supernumerary to ward rosters and having time to teach, not only supervise students. CNEs are student-focused and easily accessible as they are based on site. The CNE was the one person who was 'there' for a student as a student's preceptor can change shift-by-shift and day-by-day. One significant challenge which emerged was the replacement of ward staff, not only of senior nurses who can leave their wards for up to 12 weeks to undertake the CNE role but also that of the student's preceptor if the student's preceptor was on annual, sick or study leave. Other challenges such as the inability of ward managers to pre-book casual staff; preceptor work-loads; skill-mix issues and fluctuating fulltime equivalents are also discussed.

  Title (down) The attitudes, knowledge and skills needed in mental health nurses: The perspective of users of mental health services Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication International Journal of Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 14 Issue 2 Pages 78-87  
  Keywords Patient satisfaction; Psychiatric Nursing; Attitude of health personnel  
  Abstract In this study a qualitative descriptive methodology with focus group interviews was used to explore with users of mental health services, the attitudes, knowledge and skills that they need in mental health nurses. Users of mental health services valued the therapeutic work of mental health nurses, and identified positive attitudes towards users of mental health services as essential in mental health nurses. However, they did not consistently experience a therapeutic approach in their interactions with mental health nurses. In a sociopolitical climate where the views of users of mental health services are increasingly incorporated into education and the planning and delivery of services, there is a need for more research that reflects the perspective of users.

  Title (down) The assessment of competence in the novice nurse in the adult intensive care unit Type
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Intensive care nursing; Nursing specialties; Clinical assessment  
  Abstract This dissertation explores the assessment of nurses' clinical competence in the adult ICU setting. Specifically, methods for the assessment of competence are critiqued for their practical application to the novice nurse with less than six months experience in ICU. The assessment methods considered are continuous clinical assessment, self-assessment, peer review, objective structured clinical examination (OSCE), portfolio and computer assisted assessment. Several criteria are applied to the methods including the ability of each method to assess skills, knowledge and attitudes or values. Each method is critiqued for its implications in terms of cost and staffing resource, benefits and barriers to implementation. In addition, reliability and validity issues are considered for each method. The outcome of this exploration is the recommendation of a combination of methods; namely, portfolio and OSCE, for the assessment of competence in the ICU novice. The author concludes that this finding enhances current understanding within the ICU specialty of the multidimensional nature of competence assessment.

  Volume Issue Pages 250 p.  
  Keywords Cultural safety; Nursing practice; Cross-cultural communication; Maori health care; Internationally Qualified Nurses (IQN)  
  Abstract Argues that the concept of cultural safety (CS) has been appropriated from an indigenous-led bicutural context to an inclusive cross-cultural framework for working with diverse patient populations. Investigates nurses' understanding of the 'Guidelines for Cultural Safety, the Treaty of Waitangi and Maori Health in Nursing Education and Practice' published in 2011 by the Nursing Council of NZ. Conducts a mixed-methods survey using both closed and open-ended questions to gauge nurses' confidence in applying the guidelines and their view of their relevance. Describes differences between NZ Registered Nurses (RN) and Internationally Qualified Nurses (IQN) in their understanding of CS. Argues that the CS model should be by Maori, for Maori.

  Title (down) The allergy nurse specialist: A proposed nurse-led model of care for children with severe food allergies Type
  Year 2006 Publication Abbreviated Journal Otago Polytechnic library. A copy can be obtained by contacting pgnursadmin@tekotago.ac.nz  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Children; Nursing specialties; Child health services; Food allergies  
  Abstract The prevalence of allergic disease has increased significantly in western countries over the last decade. However, the author points to the availability of specialist allergy services in New Zealand being limited to the large cities, resulting in a lack of, or fragmentation of, the allergy-related services in smaller regions. As a public health nurse in Otago working with a rising number of families with severely food allergic children, the author had become aware of the challenges many parents face in accessing accurate information about their child's allergy and the negative impact this has had on them and their child. The purpose of this dissertation is to explore how an Allergy Nurse Specialist (ANS) led service could improve the experiences and health outcomes of the families and children with severe food allergies living in Otago. A critical analysis of the literature on allergy nursing, advanced nursing roles, and related food allergy issues was conducted and applied to the Otago region. Drawing on the 'Nurse with a Special Interest in Allergy' model of nurse-led allergy care outlined by Cross (2005) and the existing Otago District Health Board's (2004) clinical nurse specialist role, the author proposes that an ANS-led model of care, incorporating advanced nursing practice, primary care access and multidisciplinary collaboration could complement the existing allergy related services in Otago. The focus of the ANS's care will be on facilitating timely access to accurate assessment and advice for families regarding the management of their child's food allergies.

  Title (down) The advanced practitioners' guide to integrating physical and mental health: Introducing the role of the mental health consultation liaison nurse Type
  Year 2005 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Advanced nursing practice; Mental health; Nursing specialties  
  Abstract Evidence within the literature highlights that staff within the general hospital wards are not necessarily equipped to assess and meet the needs of patients with mental health or behavioural problems. The author notes that this is cause for concern as a number of people requiring admission to the general wards often have a complex, interrelated combination of physical and mental health problems. Within New Zealand there have also been a number of changes to health care policies that have increased general nurses contact with mental health patients over the last decade. The Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurse is an advanced nurse specialist who can meet this need. Having reviewed the literature and communicated with Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurses in New Zealand and Australia, the author says it is clear that the availability of a mental health nurse within the district health board general wards would be advantageous to all. The role has been shown to positively influence the care of patients and benefit other health care professionals. It provides an improved system of care that is co-ordinated, integrated and responsive to the needs of patients and health care staff. The implementation of the Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurse role has the potential to cut costs in relation to decreasing length of stay with untreated mental health issues, and reduce the cost of continued use of 'specialling' unnecessarily. Also of importance is the fact that such a position would assist the district health board to comply with the standards of health care provision as directed by the Mental Health Commission and the Ministry of Health. The author suggests that the introduction of the Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurse role represents a change in traditional ways of providing general nursing and consequently there are a number of issues that may hinder its success. This dissertation aims to increase the visibility of mental health nursing and provide a resource for others debating the development and implementation of the Mental Health Consultation Liaison Nurse role.

  Title (down) The actualized caring moment: a grounded theory of caring in nursing practice Type
  Year 1991 Publication Abbreviated Journal Massey University Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The purpose of this study was to provide a partial theoretical description of the phenomenon of caring in nursing practice. Three practice settings involving cancer patients were selected: hospital, hospice, and community with thirty patients and thirty-two nurses participating in the study. A research design combining a phenomenological perspective and grounded theory strategies was implemented. Data were collected by interview, participant observation and records. The data were analysed by the method of constant comparative analysis.A number of concepts were developed from the data and the theoretical framework of “The Actualized Caring Moment” was formulated to explain how the actual caring process occurs in nursing practice. This caring moment is the moment at which the nurse and the patient realise their intersubjective connectedness in transforming healing-growing as human beings in a specific-dynamic changing situation. The actualized caring moment is a gestalt configuration of three carting moments. The pre-conditions, The on-going interaction, and The situated context.The Pre-conditions, which consist of the nurse, personally and professionally prepared to care, and the patient, a person with compromised health and wellbeing, are pre-requisites for the occurrence of the caring process. The nurses has the qualities of benevolence, commitment, and clinical competency to be ready to care. The patient is a unique person in a vulnerable state and requires assistance from the nurse to meet personal health needs.The on-going interaction, the actual caring process, is the continuity of the nurse-patient interaction moment by moment which brings together six caring elements: Being there, Being mindfully present, A relationship of trust Participation in meeting needs, Empathetic communication, and Balancing knowledge-energy-time. The Situated Context is the situation and environment where the actual caring process is taking place, and this is comprised of circumstances of the nurse-patient meeting and care-facilitating working conditions.The conceptual framework of “The Actualised Caring Moment” offers nurses an opportunity to understand their practice more fully in providing effective nursing service. Consequently, its implications are valuable for education, research, and the development of knowledge focussed on the discipline of nursing
