Abstract |
The NZNO Younger Nurse survey examined the characteristics of younger nurse members of NZNO (aged under 30) in order to identify potential recruitment and retention strategies for these nurses, and provide information on how best to support younger members to become involved in NZNO activities.
The findings indicate that while most younger nurses enjoy their work and find it rewarding, they also face a range of challenges in the workplace due to their age ? including bullying and poor choice of shifts. Many younger nurses do not feel appropriately paid for the work they do and believe there are insufficient nurses to provide safe care. Over 10 percent of younger nurses are considering leaving the nursing profession. Many younger nurses feel the emotional challenge of nursing was more than they anticipated and that their education did not prepare them well to manage this.
A range of recommendations are made, including the need to improve undergraduate curriculum content on managing the emotional challenges of nursing, the need to implement clinical supervision for all nurses but particularly for those under 30, the need to develop and implement activities to address bullying in the workplace, and the need to improve pay progression scales in employment contracts. |

Further research is required to explore why there is a discrepancy between female and male nurses?postgraduate qualifications by age, the particular needs of younger Indian and South East Asian nurses, the discrepancy between younger nurses and older nurses perceptions of insufficient nurses, and what type of emotional stress younger nurses find most challenging. |

Abstract |
This report documents the results of a survey of a random sample of NZNO members.
A 10% sample was drawn by computer from the 45,000 membership, representing nurses and care givers from across New Zealand. Midwives were excluded from the
sample on this occasion.
Issues related to age demographics, low pay, increasing workload, and significant
organisational restructuring continue to contribute to a considerable part of the nursing workforce who will be looking to leave nursing, to nurse overseas, or to retire within the next ten years. These appear to be balanced for now partly by other factors leading to nurses continuing to work long past the normal retirement age.
Changes to the Enrolled Nurse scope of practice (including a drop in employment
opportunities as Enrolled Nurses), difficulties experienced by some newly qualified New Zealand nurses finding suitable employment or supported Nurse Entry to Practice places, and evidence for a drop in the availability of paid access to continuing professional development particularly in the DHB sector, if not addressed urgently, may have longer term implications for the New Zealand nursing workforce and the health service.
Specific issues for nurses under 30 years of age, particularly related to shift work practices and family responsibilities, were explored in more detail in a separate report Young Nurses in Aotearoa New Zealand and specific recommendations made for the long term retention of these skilled and vital health workers. |

Abstract |
This dissertation by Deborah Alleyne explores the current context of nursing in New Zealand prisons through rediscovering the history of its introduction and development, and review of relevant literature. Prison nursing is recognised as a unique branch of the wider nursing profession by virtue of the environment in which nurses work and the population for whom they provide care. Four key themes are identified from the literature review: custody versus caring; nurses' relationship with custody staff; nurses' relationship with prisoners; isolation. |

Abstract |
There needs to be more practice-focused research about how cultural safety is experienced by the recipient of care and how it is applied in nursing and healthcare delivery. [...]sociology, science, and knowledge developed from within northern hemisphere societies. Because the ground is different for knowledge arising from the New Zealand experience, theorising cultural safety must be different too. |

Abstract |
Explores the relationships between pre-operative fluid management (PFM) and post-operative outcomes. Undertakes an observational study of 100 consecutive older adult patients admitted to a tertiary NZ hospital with traumatic hip fracture between March and Sept 2012. Gathers data regarding cohort demographics and in-hospital events, including surgical details, alongside PFM and post-operative outcomes. Itemises characteristics of the patients, predominantly female with a mean age of 85.2 years. Finds no statistically significant relationship between pre-operative fluid management and post-operative outcomes. |

Abstract |
Examines the lived experiences of adults with myasthenia gravis(MG). Uses an interpretive phenomenological approach applying the research methodology of van Manen (1990). Interviews seven people living with MG and records their experiences of the disease. Poses broadly-worded questions about various topics related to MG, that include diagnosis, symptoms, treatments and coping strategies, guided by individual experiences. Reveals by means of thematic analysis that MG affects every aspect of a person?s ?lifeworld?: their sense of time, body, and space and their relationships with others. Highlights three main themes embedded in the data experienced by a person with MG: living with uncertainty, living with weakness and living with change. |
