Abstract |
This thesis presents the job of psychiatric nursing from the nurse's point of view, as derived from the author's personal experience and from interviews with thirty five other staff within a particular psychiatric institution.The first part of the thesis is reconstructed narrative account of an afternoon and a day shift in an acute admission ward. In the second part, the basic situation on the ward and some of the exigencies of nurse-patient and nurse-staff relations are discussed from structuralist and strategic conduct perspectives.The discussion that follows Anthony Giddens' (1976, 1979, 1984) conceptual framework of power, legitimation and signification, with particular attention to the strategic implications of ward routines, nursing practices, and interpersonal relations, as well as the duality of clinical and moralistic interpretive themes. The third part of the thesis 'the nurse's progress' over time. Characteristic changes in understanding and awareness take place with the movement from the 'backwards' to the 'acute' area and from the student to staff nurse. This is portrayed as a 'moral career' analogous to that suggested by Goffman (1968) for psychiatric patients; marked by 'happenings' that generate revised conceptions of self and others, and including those experiences of duality and contradiction discussed in part Two. While acknowledging the diversity of nurses' attitudes and approaches, with variations according to individual temperament, past experiences and the current setting, the suggestion is made of a common and distinctive 'meta-awareness' that develops with the fob |

Abstract |
A pilot study was conducted to identify nurses' attitudes and concerns pertaining to the care of people with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) and acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). Data was collected using an anonymous voluntary questionnaire , which was made available to all nurses at a Wellington area Health Board (New Zealand) hospital. Of 652 nursing staff, 286 (51%) responded, of which 74 (25.9%) had previously attended an HIV/AIDS workshop for Area Health Board staff. Of those staff handling blood, 132 (49.4%) always wore gloves, and only half of the respondents (n=148.51%) treated all body fluids as potentially HIV positive. The possible attrition rate from nursing positions in the canvassed hospital ws 2.8%, with a further 43 (15.0%) undecided about resigning from their post. Only 36 nurses (12.5%) believed the employer did not provide adequate safety measures. The provision of education regarding HIV/AIDS, by the employer, ws considered inadequate by 61 (21.3%) respondents. This study demonstrates that further safety and education needs should be attended to or reinforced |
