Abstract |
Examines the experiences of the patient, their family and healthcare professionals during the trajectory of a prolonged critical illness in an Intensive Care Unit (ICU). Conducts a qualitative, instrumental, multi-case study informed by the Chronic Illness Trajectory Framework. Analyses data from six linked cases (patient, family and clinicians) in four ICUs over a two-year period. Argues that identifying the sub-phases of a prolonged critical illness trajectory allows targeted interventions for each sub-phase. |

Abstract |
Grounded theory methodology has guided the grounded theory methods used to explore the acute care paediatric nurses' perspective of what they do when a child has had a severe accident. The research was initiated from the experience of nursing children in the context of a rehabilitation centre and wondering how acute care nurses promoted a child's recovery after a severe unintentional injury. Many avenues were used to search international and New Zealand literature but the scarcity of literature related to what acute care paediatric nurses do was evident. Nursing children in the acute care ward after a severe accident is complex. It encompasses nursing the family when they are experiencing a crisis. It is critical that the acute care nurse monitors and ensures the child's physiological needs are met, and the nurse “works with” the child to maintain and advance medical stability. Nursing interactions are an important part of “working with”, communication is the essence of nursing. This research has focussed on the nurses' social processes whilst caring for the physical needs of the child and interacting with the family and multidisciplinary team when appropriate. An effective working-relationship with a nurse and family is founded on trust. Grounded theory methods supported the process of exploring the social processes of “building trust” whilst “working with” families in a vulnerable position. Nurses rely on rapport to be invited into a family's space to “work with” and support the re-establishment of the parenting role. The “stepping in and out” of an effective working-relationship with a family is reliant on trust. Nurses build trust by spending time to “be with”, using chat to get to know each other, involving and supporting the family to parent a “different” child and reassuring and giving realistic hope to help the child and parents cope with their changed future. A substantive theory of the concept of “building trust to work with” has been developed using grounded theory methods. The theory has been conceptualised using the perspective of seven registered nurses working in paediatric acute care wards that admit children who have had a severe traumatic accident. |

Abstract |
Expands on existing research on the impact of coping constructs, derived from coping theory, on the inter-related issues of burnout, bullying, and psychological distress in RNs working in acute hospital settings, specifically Intensive Care Units (ICU) and Surgical Progressive Care Units (SPCU). Aims to demonstrate a positive relationship between burnout and bullying. Uses a quantitative cross-sectional design, collecting data via electronic questionnaire from RNs working in Christchurch Hospital's ICU and SPCU. |

Simulates gentamycin delivery and notes clinical variability. |

Abstract |
Explains the need for nurse-led Patient-at-Risk-Teams(PART) to prevent unnecessary ICU admissions. Investigates which nurse allocation policy between PART and ICU would result in the best outcomes for patients and hospitals. Provides econometric models to estimate the impact of critical care nurses on hospital length of stay. Proposes queueing and simulation models to obtain the optimal nurse allocation policy for minimising the ICU mortality rate. Validates proposed models at Middlemore Hospital from 2015 to 2016. Estimates the financial and mortality impact of allocating another nurse to PART per shift. |

Abstract |
Making the transition to an area of specialist nursing practice is challenging for both the learner and staff who are responsible for education and skill development. This study uses grounded theory methodology to explore the question: “How do nurses learn critical care nursing?” The eight registered nurses who participated in this study were recruited from a range of intensive care settings. The criteria for inclusion in the study included the participant having attained competency within the critical care setting. Data was collected from individual interviews. This study found that nurses focus on two main areas during their orientation and induction into critical care nursing practice. These are learning to do (skill acquisition) and learning to be (professional socialisation). The process of transition involves two stages: that of learning to do the tasks related to critical care nursing practice, and the ongoing development of competence and confidence in practice ability. The relationship of the learner with the critical care team is a vital part of the transition to competency within the specialist area. This study identifies factors that influence the learner during transition and also provides an understanding of the strategies used by the learners to attain competency. These findings are applicable to educators and leaders responsible for the education and ongoing learning of nurses within critical care practice. The use of strategies such as simulated learning and repetition are significant in skill acquisition. However attention must also be paid to issues that influence the professional socialisation process, such as the quality of preceptor input during orientation and the use of ongoing mentoring of the learner. |

Abstract |
This article explores the application of professional practice models in nursing. Particular reference is made to the magnet hospital model and the concept of shared governance. Key principles from these models are explored in relation to the implementation of a professional practice model in an intensive care environment. Historical, cultural and professional factors that may be seen as barriers to the implementation of this professional practice model are also explored. In conclusion, the article identifies recommendations that may contribute to a successful implementation and duration of a model in practice. |
