Hale, R. (2008). Older patient perceptions of transitional care. In Jean Ross (Ed.), Rural nursing: Aspects of practice (pp. 147-152). [Dunedin]: Rural Health Opportunities.
Abstract: The author describes transitional care as undertaken within the Waikato District Health Board health care environment. Transitional care supports people moving between acute health care (inpatient) and primary health care (home). It is a rehabilitative model based in smaller, predominantly rural communities to enable the older person to actively work towards recovery of functional ability within their own environment. Research indicates this rehabilitation model is applicable to the rural situation and satisfaction levels of the patients and caregivers tends to be positive.

Neville, S. J., & Alpass, F. (2006). Older men and worries: The impact on well-being. Available online from Eastern Institute of Technology, 14(1), 4–7.
Abstract: The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between worries and psychological well-being, and self-rated health in older men. A cross-sectional survey method was used to investigate the research aim. A group of men aged 65 years and over (n = 217), who lived in a small New Zealand city, participated in this study. Results from this research revealed that worries about physical abilities and health were significantly related to a decrease in psychological well-being and self-rated health. Gerontological nurses are challenged to be cognisant of older men's concerns about their health and physical ability.

Arcus, K. J. (2004). Often wearisome, sometimes saddening, but always interesting: A hundred years of district nursing in Wellington, 1903-2003. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: October 2003 marked the centenary of Wellington district nursing. Annie Holgate, a 'trained, professional' nurse, was employed to care for the sick poor in 1903. The Wellington St John Ambulance District Nursing Guild funded district nursing for over fifty years. The first president, Sarah Ann Rhodes, left a legacy of a solid financial and administrative base for the whole of the Guild's existence. From 1945 the Wellington Hospital Board assumed responsibility for district nursing and expanded the service to the greater Wellington region. In 1974 the Community Health Services were formed, with Pauline MacInnes as the nurse leader. Expansion of healthcare in the community ensued, with district nurses pivotal to client-centred, community-based, collaborative healthcare. This service was dismantled in the wake of health sector restructuring in 1989. The philosophy and operation of the Community Health Service of this period bears a striking resemblance to the current concept of Primary Health Care. Primary sources from Wellington St John, Kai Tiaki and data from official publications were used to compile this history. Emergent themes are the autonomy of district nurses' practice, the invisibility of district nursing and the impact of visionary leadership. All have implications for the future of district nursing. District nursing, initially dependent on philanthropy, has been publicly funded in New Zealand since 1944. District nursing is now an essential component of health care.

Abstract: This article examines the environmental stressors that cause occupational stress for many nurses, particularly the health reforms and the Employment Contracts Act (ECA). The concept of stress is reviewed and theories of occupational stress are described, including the demand-control theory and the transactional model. Nurses are advised to become aware of occupational stress in their workplaces, citing a study by the author showing high levels of stress among hospital nurses.
