  Title Case management and nurses Type (down) Journal Article
  Year 1998 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 13 Issue 2 Pages 26-35  
  Keywords Nursing; Care plans  
  Abstract The report of an exploratory study of current approaches to case management by nurses as requested by the College of Nurses Aotearoa New Zealand. It revealed different interpretations of nurse case management around New Zealand and in the US, UK and Australia. They differed according to the conceptualisation of health service design and delivery in the respective country. Case management in New Zealand in general presented nurse care management roles as an interface between the mangement of health service delivery and the peculiarities of the healthcare people received, holding the potential for achieving tailored, patient-centred care outcomes.

  Title The scope of advancing nursing practice Type (down) Journal Article
  Year 1998 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 13 Issue 3 Pages 13-24  
  Keywords Nursing specialties; Nursing  
  Abstract An overview of the model of nursing practice and nurse roles derived through a programme of nursing research in the context of the changing New Zealand health system. The emphasis is on the complementary nature of the practice of family nurses taking a generic integrative service delivery hub role and the practice of other nurses advancing in specialist roles. Nursing care is presented as a professional, collective practice of registered nurses spread across all health service sectors and employment settings. Nurse roles are differentiated according to the interplay of two factors influencing the extent of practice autonomy the nurses assume (educationally supported) in responding to health need. A diagram depicts the interrelationship of competency and scope for the inclusive three different career trajectories of nurses advancing in practice. NOTE: This paper was published with an error in the title of the article (stated correctly on the journal contents page). An apology from the journal editor with an explanation of the importance of the use of the term ?advancing? and not ?advanced? was published in the subsequent issue (Nursing Praxis in NZ,14(1)).

  Title Ginger compress therapy for adults with osteoarthritis Type (down) Journal Article
  Year 2010 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 66 Issue 10 Pages 2225?2233  
  Keywords Ginger compress therapy; Giorgi?s method; nursing; osteoarthritis  
  Abstract Abstract

Aim. This paper is a report of a study to explicate the phenomenon of ginger

compresses for people with osteoarthritis.

Background. Osteoarthritis is claimed to be the leading cause of musculoskeletal

pain and disability in Western society. Management ideally combines non-pharmacological

strategies, including complementary therapies and pain-relieving

medication. Ginger has been applied externally for over a thousand years in China

to manage arthritis symptoms.

Method. Husserlian phenomenological methodology was used and the data were

collected in 2007. Ten purposively selected adults who had suffered osteoarthritis

for at least a year kept daily diaries and made drawings, and follow-up interviews

and telephone conversations were conducted.

Findings. Seven themes were identified in the data: (1) Meditative-like stillness

and relaxation of thoughts; (2) Constant penetrating warmth throughout the

body; (3) Positive change in outlook; (4) Increased energy and interest in the

world; (5) Deeply relaxed state that progressed to a gradual shift in pain and

increased interest in others; (6) Increased suppleness within the body and (7)

More comfortable, flexible joint mobility. The essential experience of ginger

compresses exposed the unique qualities of heat, stimulation, anti-inflammation

and analgesia.

Conclusion. Nurses could consider this therapy as part of a holistic treatment for

people with osteoarthritis symptoms. Controlled research is needed with larger

numbers of older people to explore further the effects of the ginger compress

therapy.

  Abstract There needs to be more practice-focused research about how cultural safety is experienced by the recipient of care and how it is applied in nursing and healthcare delivery. [...]sociology, science, and knowledge developed from within northern hemisphere societies. Because the ground is different for knowledge arising from the New Zealand experience, theorising cultural safety must be different too.

  Title How Culture Influences Choosing Nursing as a Career Type (down) Journal Article
  Year 2012 Publication Whitireia Nursing Journal Abbreviated Journal Available through NZNO library  
  Volume Issue 19 Pages  
  Keywords Careers in Nursing; Minority Groups; Nursing Shortage; Personnel Recruitment  
  Abstract The purpose of this study was to explore how young people make career choices and why young people choose or reject nursing as a career choice. This study has highlighted the complexity of this decision-making process, and the importance of making positive connections and offering appropriate support during this process. It seems that many young people are well equipped to make career decisions when given support.

The need to recruit people from minority cultures into nursing is a global issue. This study also highlights the need for an inter-sectoral approach to raise the profile of nursing and make a career that is attractive to young people.

  Title Preparedness: Lessons for educators from the Christchurch disaster Type (down) Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal Available through NZNO library  
  Volume 4 Issue 1 Pages 11-16  
  Keywords Education, Nursing; Case studies; Disasters  
  Abstract This study describes the impact of a sudden, traumatic natural disaster on a bachelor of nursing programme, and the capacity and processes required to minimise disruption to programme delivery and student learning. This descriptive case study, undertaken across 2011-2012, collected data through interviews, a survey and artefact collection. Six key themes emerged from the inductive and descriptive statistical analyses: context; communication; leadership and followership; decision making; the need to balance shifting priorities around professional responsibilities and personal imperatives; and taking action and action plans. The conclusions reached emphasise safety as the first priority, encourage personal risk mitigation, and emphasise the importance of ongoing support and flexibility for all staff and students as well as the need for clear communication and decision-making. What is perhaps most important to take from this experience is that a plan does not, by itself, equal preparedness; every institution must look to its own context, consider its own priorities, and formulate its own approach to preparedness.

  Title Evaluating critical care outreach and the early warning score tool ? The ward nurse?s viewpoint Type (down) Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal Available through NZNO library  
  Volume 4 Issue 1 Pages 17-24  
  Keywords Early warning scores; Critical care nursing; nursing skills  
  Abstract The aim of this research was to ascertain the opinions of ward nurses (registered and enrolled nurses) on a critical care outreach (CCO) service and the early warning score (EWS) tool and how CCO helps them care for ward patients whose condition is deteriorating. An 18-item Likert scale questionnaire was adapted to gain opinions on three aspects of the service: The usability of the EWS tool and the escalation protocol; the role and usefulness of the critical care outreach nurse (CCON); and education and sharing of critical care skills. The research was conducted in a 270-bed New Zealand hospital with a nurse-led outreach team. The survey was distributed to adult general wards. It found 45 percent of ward nurses found EWS useful in identifying patients whose condition was deteriorating, 58 percent found EWS easy to use and 82 percent found EWS helped them prioritise workloads. On the role and usefulness of the CCON, 41 percent of surveyed nurses found the post-ICU review helpful, 65 said CCONs were approachable, 71 percent found the CCON shift time of 3pm-11pm was useful, 69 percent said the CCON demonstrated sound clinical knowledge, and 54 percent rated CCONs teaching as sufficient for their needs. When CCO was present, nurses were able to formulate an effective management plan for potentially deteriorating patients and acquired critical care skills needed to manage such patients. The results are comparable with other research which sought nurse opinion of CCO. It indicates nurses believe CCO to be instrumental in increasing critical care skills to prevent deterioration in the clinical area.

  Title Staff support and quality of care provided by palliative care nurses: A systematic literature review Type (down) Journal Article
  Year 2013 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal Available through NZNO library  
  Volume 4 Issue 1 Pages 25-32  
  Keywords Hospice and palliative nursing; Systematic review; Staff support; Quality of health care  
  Abstract There is a considerable body of literature discussing the stressors experienced by nurses and other health professionals when caring for those who are terminally ill and dying. Also, a number of articles offer suggestions, including the views of staff, as to what type of professional and organisational support is required when working in this often demanding specialty. There are, however, very few reports of assessment of the effectiveness of such supportive interventions and in particular, the impact of such support on the quality of patient care. This literature review examines any reported relationships between the quality of nursing provided by palliative care nurses and the staff support received by those nurses.
