| Title | The successful design and delivery of rural health services: The meaning of success | Type | Report | ||
| Year | 2002 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Accessible from www.moh.govt.nz | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Rural health services; Management; Primary health care | ||||
| Abstract | A report on the analysis of data from an in-depth survey designed by Sue Dawson, previously Rural Health Researcher in the Centre for Rural Health, and follow-up interviews. The study purpose was to construct a definition of ?successful design and delivery of rural health services? as a step towards a measurement tool. Participants were grouped as general practitioners (GPs), nurses and community representatives. A format for a participatory approach to evaluation of rural health services is derived from the criteria of success identified, with its relevance for the implementation of the new Government primary health care strategy explicit. This format provided the basis for a subsequent evaluation case study undertaken in a small rural forestry township by the Centre for Rural Health. | ||||

| Title | Nursing is -- and has -- a methodology: a nursing voice | Type | Journal Article | ||

| Volume | 12 | Issue | 1 | Pages | 66-72 |
| Keywords | Nursing knowldege; Nursing voice; Nursing methodology | ||||
| Abstract | Argues that a nursing paradigm identifies and differentiates the nursing perspective on health, and reinterprets practical expertise. Posits that nurse researchers present their findings as practice wisdom. Suggests that the significance of nursing lies in its knowledgeable practitioners and that the nursing voice is a collective one. Emphasises the need for a distinctly nursing perspective on health in NZ. | ||||

| Title | The role of rural nurses: National survey | Type | Report | ||
| Year | 2000 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Online on the Ministry of Health's Centre for Rural Health pages | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Rural nursing; Personnel; Nursing specialties; Primary health care | ||||
| Abstract | A survey was used to reach as many nurses as possible involved with nursing in “rural” areas throughout New Zealand and to build a profile of nurses involved in the provision of healthcare beyond the urban centres. The contact also sought to inform nurses of the rural healthcare project and encourage them to contribute their experience to the development of health services in the new health service structure. Data is presented on the characteristics and employment conditions of nurses and access to resources including information technology. The inadequacy of information on the rural nurse workforce is identified: nurse roles are historically defined yet employment patterns are changing according to the workforce demands of new structures, and the existing definitions of rural health service design and delivery are only in terms of general medical practices and on-call coverage. Recommendations are made for definitions of “rurality” and “rural nurse” that will allow a more useful depiction of the nurse workforce. | ||||

| Title | A framework of complementary models of nursing practice: A study of nursing roles and practice for a new era of healthcare provision in New Zealand | Type | Report | ||
| Year | 2001 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | Online on the Ministry of Health's Centre for Rural Health pages | |
| Volume | Issue | Pages | |||
| Keywords | Nursing models; Rural nursing; Policy; Scope of practice | ||||
| Abstract | This is the second of a series of research projects undertaken to present the contemporary picture of the nurse workforce and their work in rural settings to inform policy for development of rural healthcare. The document presents the findings of telephone interviews with nurses in different work rural work settings around the country discussing their practice. The analysis identified a framework of four models of nursing practice: two traditional models defined by the institutions employing nurses, and two emerging models defined by the new positions requiring nurses to respond directly to health need. | ||||

| Title | To advance health care: The origins of nursing research in New Zealand | Type | Book Whole | ||
| Year | 2009 | Publication | Abbreviated Journal | ||
| Volume | Issue | Pages | 129 pp | ||
| Keywords | Nursing Research Section, New Zealand Nurses Organisation | ||||
| Abstract | This book examines in detail the confluence of personalities and professional and practice agendas, out of which emerged the research section, intent on placing research at the centre of the profession's evolution. It provides a fascinating look at how a group of women, utterly committed to nursing, drove their research agenda and it expands understandings of why nursing research is significant for the development of nursing. It also provides an insight into that web of relationships between the professional body, NZNA, the Department of Health, service delivery and education.
