Title Mothering a hospitalized child: It's the 'little things' that matter Type (down) Journal Article
Year 2005 Publication Journal of Child Health Care Abbreviated Journal coda, An Institutional Repository for the New Zealand ITP Sector
Volume 9 Issue 3 Pages 186-195
Keywords Nurse-family relations; Parents and caregivers; Paediatric nursing; Children
Abstract This article reports one aspect of a phenomenological study that described the lived experience of mothering a child hospitalised with acute illness or injury. The significance for mothers that nurses do the 'little things' emerged in considering the implications of this study's findings for nurses in practice. Seven mothers whose child had been hospitalised in the 12 months prior to the first interview agreed to share their stories. The resulting data were analysed and interpreted using van Manen's interpretation of phenomenology. This description of mothering in a context of crisis is useful in the potential contribution it makes to nurses' understanding of mothers' experience of the hospitalisation of their children. It supports the philosophy of family-centred care and highlights the ability of individual nurses to make a positive difference to a very stressful experience by acknowledging and doing 'little things', because it is the little things that matter to the mothers of children in hospital.

Title Power and partnership: A critical analysis of the surveillance discourses of child health nurses Type (down) Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 36 Issue 2 Pages 294-301
Keywords Paediatric nursing; Nurse-family relations; Nursing philosophy; Plunket
Abstract The aim of this research was to explore surveillance discourses within New Zealand child health nursing and to identify whether surveillance practices have implications in this context for power relations. Five experienced and practising Plunket nurses were each interviewed twice. The texts generated by these semi-structured interviews were analysed using a Foucauldian approach to critical discourse analysis. In contrast with the conventional view of power as held and wielded by one party, this study revealed that, in the Plunket nursing context, power is exercised in various and unexpected ways. Although the relationship between the mother and the nurse cannot be said to operate as a partnership, it is constituted in the nurses' discourses as a dynamic relationship in which the mother is actively engaged on her own terms. The effect of this is that it is presented by the nurses as a precarious relationship that has significant implications for the success of their work.

Title Balancing rights and duties in 'life and death' decision making involving children: A role for nurses? Type (down) Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Nursing Ethics Abbreviated Journal
Volume 8 Issue 5 Pages 397-408
Keywords Parents and caregivers; Children; Ethics; Clinical decision making; Nurse-family relations; Chronically ill
Abstract This article examines a growing number of cases in New Zealand in which parents and guardians are required to make life and death ethical decisions on behalf of their seriously ill child. Increasingly, nurses and other practitioners are expected to more closely inform, involve and support the rights of parents or guardians in such situations. Differing moral and ethical values between the medical team and parents or guardians can lead to difficult decision making situations. The article analyses the moral parameters, processes, outcomes and ethical responses that must be considered when life and death ethical decisions involving children are made. It concludes with a recommendation that nurses should be recognised as perhaps the most suitable of all health care personnel when careful mediation is needed to produce an acceptable moral outcome in difficult ethical situations.

Title Paradoxical pursuits in child health nursing practice: Discourses of scientific mothercraft Type (down) Journal Article
Year 2003 Publication Critical Public Health Abbreviated Journal
Volume 13 Issue 3 Pages 281-293
Keywords Plunket; Nurse-family relations; Paediatric nursing; Nursing philosophy
Abstract The purpose of this paper is to examine the discourses of scientific mothercraft and their implications for the nurse-mother relationship, drawing on the author's recent research into surveillance and the exercise of power in the child health nursing context. The application of Foucauldian discourse analysis to the texts generated by interviews with five New Zealand child health nurses confirms that this paradoxical role has never been fully resolved. Plunket nurses primarily work in the community with the parents of new babies and preschool children. Their work, child health surveillance, is considered to involve routine and unproblematic practices generally carried out in the context of a relationship between the nurse and the mother. However, there are suggestions in the literature that historically the nurse's surveillance role has conflicting objectives, as she is at the same time an inspector and family friend.

Title The paediatric nurse and the child in hospital Type (down) Journal Article
Year 1974 Publication New Zealand Nursing Journal Abbreviated Journal
Volume 67 Issue 11 Pages
Keywords Paediatric nursing; Nurse-family relations; Nurse managers
Abstract A paper intended to inform paediatric nurses and influence service policy and management, adapted from a presentation at an inservice education study day for nurses at Wellington Hospital. The paper grew out of the findings of a small research project undertaken by the author as part of nursing practice in a paediatric ward of Wellington Hospital. The observations of the stress in the experience of infants and parents and the ambiguities inherent in the relationships between parents and nurses were the basis for arguing for changes in nursing practice and ward management.
