  Title Nursing people from cultures other than one's own: A perspective from New Zealand Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Contemporary Nurse Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (up) 15 Issue 3 Pages 222-231  
  Keywords Transcultural nursing; Maori; Psychiatric Nursing  
  Abstract This paper provides an overview of the evolving meaning of 'culture' in New Zealand nursing. Then, drawing upon the findings of research that used hermeneutic phenomenology to explore the experience of nursing people from cultures other than one's own, a description of the constituent parts is of this phenomenon is briefly outlined and followed by an exemplar that describes the coalescent and contradictory nature of the phenomenon as a whole. As New Zealand nurses negotiate the conflicts essential for ongoing development of their practice, interplay of the notions of prejudice, paradox and possibility is evident at intrapersonal and interpersonal levels as well as in relation to professional and other discourses.

  Title The Tidal Model as experienced by patients and nurses in a regional forensic unit Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Journal of Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (up) 15 Issue 5 Pages 536-540  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Nursing models; Evaluation; Nurse-patient relations  
  Abstract This study looks at the effect of implementing the Tidal Model at Rangipapa, a regional secure mental health forensic unit. A phenomenological study was undertaken to obtain reflective description of the nursing care experience from the perspective's of four registered nurses and four “special patients”. Five major themes were identified that appeared to capture the experiences of the participants. The themes show changes to the unit's unique culture and values following implementation of the model. These changes engendered a sense of hope, where nurses felt they were making a difference and patients were able to communicate in their own words their feelings of hope and optimism. Levelling was experienced as an effect emerging from individual and group processes whereby a shift in power enhanced a sense of self and connectedness in their relationships. These interpersonal transactions were noted by the special patients as being positive for their recovery. This enabled effective nurse-patient collaboration expressed simply as working together. The participants reported a feeling of humanity, so that there was a human face to a potentially objectifying forensic setting. Implications arising from this study are that the use of the model enables a synergistic interpersonal process wherein nurses are professionally satisfied and patients are validated in their experience supporting their recovery.

  Title The trauma nurse coordinator in Australia and New Zealand: A progress survey of demographics, role function, and resources Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Journal of Trauma Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (up) 15 Issue 2 Pages 34-42  
  Keywords Emergency nursing; Personnel; Nurse managers; Economics  
  Abstract An initial profile of the demographics and current practice of Australian trauma nurse coordinators (TNCs) was conducted in 2003. The study identified common and differing role components, provided information to assist with establishing national parameters for the role, and identified the resources perceived necessary to enable the role to be performed effectively. This article compares the findings of the 2003 study with a 2007 survey, expanded to include New Zealand trauma coordinators. Forty-nine people, identified as working in a TNC capacity in Australia and New Zealand, were invited to participate in February 2007. Participation in the research enabled an update of the previously compiled Australia/New Zealand trauma network list. Thirty-six surveys (71.5% response rate) were returned. Descriptive statistics were undertaken for each item, and comparisons were made among states, territories, and countries. Participants reported that most of their time was spent fulfilling the trauma registry component of the role (27% of total hours), followed by quality and clinical activities (19% of total hours), education, and administration. The component associated with the least amount of time was outreach (3% of total hours). Although the proportion of time has almost halved since 2003, TNCs still spend the most time maintaining trauma registries. Compared to the 2003 survey, Australian and New Zealand TNCs are working more unpaid overtime, spending more time performing quality and clinical activities and less time doing data entry. Despite where one works, the role components identified are fulfilled to a certain extent. However, the authors conclude that trauma centres need to provide the TNC with adequate resources if trauma care systems are to be optimally effective

  Title 'Never mind the quality, feel the width': The nonsense of 'quality', 'excellence', and 'audit' in education, health and research Type Journal Article
  Year 2008 Publication Collegian: Journal of the Royal College of Nursing Australia Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (up) 15 Issue 1 Pages 35-41  
  Keywords Accountability; Quality assurance; Organisational change; Nursing research; Nursing; Education  
  Abstract The author contends that health care and education have been colonised by 'The Audit Society' and managerialism. It is argued that under the benign guise of 'improving quality' and 'ensuring value for money' a more Orwellian purpose operates. Academics had to be transformed into a workforce of 'docile bodies', willing to scrutinise and survey themselves and their 'performance' as outcome deliverers and disciples of the new 'Qualispeak'. This paper critiques the current obsession with audit and performativity, and the constant and often pointless 'change' that is held to be so self-evidently 'a good thing' and identifies policy discussion as a linguistic wasteland.
