Abstract |
Reports a study exploring family experiences of stroke during the first six months following a stroke. Performs a hermeneutic phenomenological study in which four participants from two Auckland families are interviewed in 2011 and 2012, at three time-intervals within the first six months post-stroke. Identifies three themes of the families' experiences: loss of a life once lived; navigation of an unfamiliar path; re-creation of a sense of normality. Stresses the importance of contact with the health-care team in facilitating the transition to post-stroke life. |

Abstract |
This research examines how nurses negotiate the context of the Intensive Care Unit (ICU) while working with families. The action research described in this thesis developed through a series of meetings and conversations where the conversations supported the reflexive intent of the research. In commissioning the research, the design of the meetings and conversations were as a series of overlapping actions. Data collection and data analysis occurred in the action research by meetings, reflective conversations, ad libitum observations, and in a research journal. Conceptual maps explain the progress and findings of the research in this thesis while categories distilled from the conversations also support the findings in the research. The Family Action Research Group that was established within this project proposed a Family Assessment Form for the family to provide an assessment of themselves and the patient. Implementing this assessment tool demonstrated that clear information was needed for the family in the ICU. Findings in this research focus on developing action research and family care in ICU. Findings also focused on the role of the researcher being of and not being of the context where action research is undertaken. Recommendations include staff examining relationships for potential asymmetries and seeking ways to address these to support families and staff. Suggested strategies for developing action research in a clinical context include detailed planning, clear focusing, transparency of data, and working to explain change initiatives through the research are also included. |

Abstract |
This dissertation considers the implications of the relationship between nurses and the patient's family, when family members visit intensive care units (ICUs) following the acute admission of a relative there. In particular it explores the issues of power and control, nurses might have in this setting, the culture that supports that, and the implications this has for practice in the New Zealand context. A comprehensive literature review on the perspective of nurses in relation to relatives visiting adult intensive care units was conducted. The author concludes that nurses modify policies related to visiting access for family members to suit themselves, and the needs of their patient. Nurses use a variety of tactics to maintain a position of power and control by looking out for themselves first, their patient second, and relatives third. The need of the patient and their families is not well understood by nurses, and nurses feel they have inadequate skills to cope with the needs and stresses of visiting relatives. The author suggests that for nurses to provide family focused care in ICU they must develop a therapeutic relationship with all concerned. ICU nursing culture affects nurses ability to focus on caring for their patients and their families. Nurses in ICU appear to need to maintain power and control over their environment but further research is needed to identify the current situation in New Zealand ICUs. |

Abstract |
The author notes that responses to questions from dying people and their families are as individual as each nurse, patient, family member, or situation. This is well recognised and an unspoken truth in palliative care practice. This paper explores the subjective nature of knowledge in palliative care generated through capturing moments of practice and subsequent reflections. This demonstrates how the author uses her model of care to open a space that enables the person and their family to find meaning from their experience and articulate what they need at the time. The author identifies her interest in the paradoxical reality of knowing and not knowing and describes how that paradox contributes to her role in supporting individuals' needs within their realities. |

Abstract |
The environment of the Newborn Intensive Care Unit (NICU) is a stressful one for families and is often designed to provide technical care for the infant rather than facilities that would enable and support parental and family participation in infant care. Furthermore, the author notes that the environment of the NICU emerged in literature as an obstacle to meaningful family involvement in care. However, she goes on to say that a philosophy of Family Centred Care in the NICU can offer a framework of care that supports family involvement in the infant's care and family presence in the NICU. It also promotes parental participation in decision-making for the infant and gives recognition to the importance of perspectives provided by the family. This dissertation explores the difficulties associated with the practice of Family Centred Care in the environment of the NICU. It offers recommendations for features of unit design that can promote Family Centred Care by supporting and sustaining the presence of families in the NICU and therefore facilitating their involvement in the care of their infant. |

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 |
This chapter firstly offers background information in relation to palliative care and the role of women as providers of care in the home setting. Secondly, it discusses a study that evolved from a trend the author observed as a district nurse providing community palliative care in rural New Zealand and from New Zealand literature; that the majority of carers of the terminally ill in home-settings are women. The aim of this research study was to offer insights into the requirements of caring for a dying person at home and provide information to assist nurses working in the community and other women who take on the caregiver's role. |
