| Title | Nurse-managed clinics: Issues in evaluation | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 2003 | Publication | Journal of Advanced Nursing | Abbreviated Journal | |

| Abstract | This article explores the importance of evaluation of nurse-managed clinics using the Mana Health Clinic in Auckland, as an example. Fourth generation evaluation is offered as an appropriate methodology for undertaking evaluation of nurse-managed clinics. Fourth generation evaluation actively seeks involvement of clients in the process and outcome of the evaluation, resulting in participation and empowerment of stakeholders in the service – a precept often forgotten in traditional evaluation strategies and of vital importance in understanding why people use nurse-managed clinics. The method proposed here also incorporates the need for quantitative data. The main argument is that a combination of qualitative and quantitative data sources is likely to give the greatest understanding of nurse-managed clinics' utilisation. | ||||

| Title | The paediatric nurse and the child in hospital | Type | Journal Article | ||
| Year | 1974 | Publication | New Zealand Nursing Journal | Abbreviated Journal | |

| Keywords | Paediatric nursing; Nurse-family relations; Nurse managers | ||||
| Abstract | A paper intended to inform paediatric nurses and influence service policy and management, adapted from a presentation at an inservice education study day for nurses at Wellington Hospital. The paper grew out of the findings of a small research project undertaken by the author as part of nursing practice in a paediatric ward of Wellington Hospital. The observations of the stress in the experience of infants and parents and the ambiguities inherent in the relationships between parents and nurses were the basis for arguing for changes in nursing practice and ward management. | ||||
