Abstract |
This study used a curriculum inquiry framework to investigate the perceptions of 184 nursing students and nurse educators in relation to bioscience in the nursing curriculum. Nursing students were found to have significantly more positive attitudes to bioscience in nursing education than nurse educators, and nurse educators were not found to have significantly better self-efficacy in bioscience than the students, although this might have been expected. The results of focus group discussions, used to investigate this in more depth, suggested that some nurse educators and clinical preceptors may not have sufficient science background or bioscience knowledge, to help nursing students apply bioscience knowledge to practice. As a result of this, it is suggested that the aims of the intended and prescribed nursing curricula are not being fulfilled in the implemented curriculum. |

Abstract |
This study has sought to quantify the attitudes of first-year medical, nursing and pharmacy students' towards interprofessional learning, at course commencement. The Readiness for Interprofessional Learning Scale (RIPLS) (University of Liverpool, Department of Health Care Education), was administered to first-year medical, nursing and pharmacy students at the University of Auckland. Differences between the three groups were analysed. The majority of students reported positive attitudes towards shared learning. The benefits of shared learning, including the acquisition of teamworking skills, were seen to be beneficial to patient care and likely to enhance professional working relationships. However professional groups differed: nursing and pharmacy students indicated more strongly that an outcome of learning together would be more effective teamworking. Medical students were the least sure of their professional role, and considered that they required the acquisition of more knowledge and skills than nursing or pharmacy students. |

Abstract |
Death education encompasses many complex realities, for both the students and lecturers involved. This quantitative research explored the experiential and didactic preparation of nursing students through a content analysis, of one New Zealand, three year Bachelor of Nursing programme, in relation to death education. The Otago Polytechnic Bachelor of Nursing programme incorporates compulsory and optional courses, with the courses taught as an integrated programme with a progressive, sequential approach. This approach builds on content, deepening understanding from year to year, as well as providing opportunities for experiential learning and broadening of understanding. The literature review discusses three dominant themes of undergraduate death education: education, death, and transition. The data collection tool incorporates eighteen key terms, ten teaching methods and ten assessment methods. The programme and individual course documents, which define course content, teaching and assessment were scanned and analysed. The findings initially showed limited evidence of death education in course documents, however deeper analysis of the documents showed further evidence over the three year programme. The existence of death education is implied rather than overt throughout many course documents, through the use of broad practice statements. Content analysis is one way of shedding light on programme content in relation to death education. Limitations of the content analysis approach mean measuring experiential and didactic learning is not fully achievable from documentation analysis only. Further development of Bachelor of Nursing death education is an ongoing challenge, with current programmes very full and possibly lacking the capacity to increase content. Bachelor of Nursing programmes are discussed, highlighting the need for student focused learning with emphasis on acquiring and processing information, rather than mastery of content. |

Abstract |
This article considers wider organisational issues that impact on the implementation of evidence based practice. It describes the strategies adopted by the Auckland Area Health Board and Unitec New Zealand to implement the principles of evidence based practice in New Zealand. This has resulted in a collaboration with Auckland University and the Joanna Briggs Institute for Evidence Based Nursing and Midwifery to form the Centre for Evidence Based Nursing – Aotearoa. Evidence based nursing is a vital part of nursing education. Unitec New Zealand has developed and incorporated evidence based nursing into all courses in their undergraduate programme. Central to this is the use of evidence based practice in patient care and the integration of technology with evidence based nursing in clinical practice. |

Abstract |
In New Zealand, the physical assessment of a patient has traditionally been the domain of the medical profession. Recent implementation of advanced practice roles has expanded the scope of practice and nurse practitioners may now be expected to perform physical assessments. The aim of this literature review was to discover what could be learnt from the experiences of Western countries. Nurses from the USA, Canada and Australia readily incorporate physical assessment skills into their nursing practice as a component of health assessment. The international literature identified that any change to the nurse's role in health assessment, to include physical assessment skills, requires strategies that involve the regulatory, educational and practice components of nursing. |

Abstract |
The purpose of this literature review is to generate a picture of what is known and what needs to be investigated further about anaesthetic nursing in the perioperative nursing role in New Zealand, and to examine this in relation to international trends. Nurse anaesthetists in the United States are described in American nursing literature, and recognised as one of the four advanced nurse practitioner roles. In New Zealand, recent efforts to provide appropriate post-graduate education for the perioperative nurse have been challenged by other inter-professional interests, thus restricting the development of an expanded role. The author notes that this has caused concern for New Zealand's perioperative nurses who consider anaesthetic nursing is an integral part of perioperative practice. Anaesthetic nursing forms a substantial component of the basic competencies required of a registered nurse working in the operating theatres. Orientation programmes and ongoing education at all levels of professional development incorporate anaesthetic nursing competencies to provide continuity of patient care and support perioperative practice. Care of the patient undergoing anaesthesia is an area where nurses demonstrate their advanced assessment skills and clinical judgement and is included in perioperative specialist or nurse practitioner job descriptions. The Perioperative Nurses Association in New Zealand is concerned to develop postgraduate education in their area of speciality to support their application for 'College' status within the New Zealand Nurses Organisation. For this to happen in a cogent fashion, information and knowledge generated from research, are required to clarify perioperative nursing's current position and determine how practice can be shaped to best care for patients undergoing surgical interventions. Evidence from research supports nurses in the anaesthetic role by demonstrating that the preoperative visits and assessments they undertake can reduce patients' anxieties, decrease the need for pain relief and shorten hospital stays. This review includes literature sources that explore disparities between the development of New Zealand anaesthetic nursing and international models. The author suggests that information and understanding gained from conducting this review will allow future developments in anaesthetic nursing practice to be informed by previous initiatives and projects and identifies areas for further research. |
