Author Bickley, J. openurl 
  Title A study of medical, nursing, and institutional not-for-resuscitation (NFR) discourses Type
  Year 2002 Publication Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume Issue Pages 317 pp  
  Keywords Clinical decision making; Attitude of health personnel; Hospitals; Terminal care  
  Abstract This study investigates the way that medical, nursing and institutional discourses construct knowledge in the specific context of Not-for-resuscitation (NFR)in a New Zealand general hospital where NFR guidelines are available in the wards and from the regional ethics committee. The thesis argues that there are ranges of techniques that staff use to construct NFR knowledge, enacted through various forms of speech and silence, which result in orderly and disorderly experiences for patients nearing death. The study was conducted through a critical analysis of the talk of health professionals and the Chairperson of the Regional Ethics Committee.

  Title Nurses' early experiences with patient death Type
  Year 2008 Publication Abbreviated Journal NZNO Library  
  Volume Issue Pages 156 pp  
  Keywords New graduate nurses; Terminal care  
  Abstract Chronic stress and 'burnout' have been extensively researched in nursing populations, but very little is known about the impact of specific acutely stressful or significant events. A novice nurse's first encounter with patient death may pose considerable cognitive, emotional and clinical challenges. Using a mixed methods design, this study explored the clinical circumstances, impact and challenges and rewards of nurses' early experiences with patient death.
