  Title Getting it right: An exploration of compulsive caregiving and helping profession syndrome Type
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Psychology; Nursing  
  Abstract This thesis is a theoretical exploration of the concepts of 'Compulsive caregiving' and 'helping profession syndrome' in relation to the choice of nursing as a career. These concepts are derived from Bowlby's attachment theory and psychodynamic psychotherapy. Both have evolved from psychoanalytic theory. The thesis explains Bowlby's development of compulsive caregiving in health professionals. The author notes that her life history and experience as a nurse educator and as a nurse practicing psychotherapy support this theoretical explanation. An argument is developed that the propensity towards compulsive caregiving is a strength in nurses. Nursing places high value on caring and many of the traits exhibited by compulsive caregivers are desirable in nurses. Nursing as a caring interpersonal process is explored with reference to the literature. However, nursing has been identified as a stressful occupation. Support strategies such as professional supervision and reflective practice are discussed. Thesis concludes with a suggestion for further research on compulsive caregiving and helping profession syndrome.

  Title Stigma, discrimination and a model for psychiatric mental health nursing practice Type
  Year 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Victoria University of Wellington Library  
  Volume Issue Pages  
  Keywords Mental health; Psychiatric Nursing; Psychology  
  Abstract This paper seeks to understand the aetiology of stigma. The word stigma comes from the Greek language and refers to a brand, a mark of shame. Society has used this phenomenon to mark those who do not fit with the stereotypical virtual identity expected by a group. Stigma has persisted throughout the ages to enforce norms and sanction rules. Stigma is a term used to broadly define an attitude to negative attributes. It is a way of treating people that indicates to the individual, they are different from the norm. Research indicates the general population has discriminatory attitudes to those who have experienced mental illness. This discrimination impacts on the lives of those people. Their stories tell of shame, sadness and anguish. Families too, feel the ongoing effects of stigma. Psychiatric mental health professionals are said to perpetuate the discrimination arising from the stigma of mental illness. This is shown in the literature to persist through labelling and disempowering practices. The attitude of nurses in particular is critical to promoting healing environments. It is thought that a humanistic altruistic approach to nursing practice will help to eliminate discriminatory practice by nurses. It is hoped that this approach will create collaborative care that gives the individual the respect, response, choice and support they need to assist in recovering from mental illness.

Author Bland, M.F. openurl 
  Title The challenge of feeling 'at home' in residential aged care in New Zealand Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Nursing Praxis in New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume 21 Issue 3 Pages 4-12  
  Keywords Rest homes; Older people; Patient satisfaction; Nursing; Identity  
  Abstract In this research report, a resident reveals the challenges associated with firstly becoming a nursing home resident, and then trying to establish a new sense of 'home'. The story supports a conclusion that nurses' knowledge of the unique 'admission story' of each resident, and their individual understandings of home, is essential in promoting their ongoing comfort. Although approximately 30,000 older adults live in residential aged care, little research has been done on their experience.
