| 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 |

| Abstract |
This paper explores the relationships within teaching, learning and practice development in critical care nursing and questions the popular assumption that 'post graduate (Master's level) education fits all'. The need for critical care nurses to apply advanced knowledge and technical skills to complex and dynamic practice situations necessitates the development of critical thinking and a problem-solving approach to clinical practice that can be fostered through education and experience. Discussion focuses on the successful development and implementation of graduate level education for critical care nurses in the South Island of New Zealand and how this development is challenging existing approaches to the provision and evaluation of formal critical care education in New Zealand. |

| Abstract |
This paper presents research findings from a New Zealand study that explored emergency nurses' differentiation of non-cardiac chest pain from panic disorder and raised significant issues in the nursing assessment and management of such clients. The data were gathered from focus group interviews and were analysed thematically. Three themes, prioritising time, managing uncertainty and ambiguity, and the life-threatening lens, were identified. The findings confirm that a panic disorder is not always diagnosed when biomedical assessment is used in isolation from a psychosocial assessment. Emergency nurses are pivotal in reversing the cycle of repeat presenters with non-cardiac chest pain. Recommendations for assessing and managing this complex condition are presented. |

This article discusses a child/adolescent-centred primary nocturnal enuresis program and service that is administered by a group of public health nurses in South Auckland. Enuresis is the involuntary passing of urine. Many children and adolescents who are nocturnal enuretics exhibit behaviours such as low self-esteem, withdrawal, less ambition and increased anxiety. These children are often low achievers within the school system and become a problem for their family and school. |

| Abstract |
Nurse migration flows in and out of New Zealand are examined to determine impacts and regional contexts. A descriptive statistics method was used to analyse secondary data on nurses added to the register, New Zealand nurse qualifications verified by overseas authorities, nursing workforce data, and census data. It found that international movement of nurses was minimal during the 1990s, but from 2001 a sharp jump in the verification of locally registered nurses by overseas authorities coincided with an equivalent increase in international registered nurses added to the local nursing register. This pattern has been sustained to the present. Movement of local registered nurses to Australia is expedited by the Trans-Tasman Agreement, whereas entry of international registered nurses to New Zealand is facilitated by nursing being an identified “priority occupation”. The author concludes that future research needs to consider health system and nurse workforce contexts and take a regional perspective on migration patterns. |

| Abstract |
This paper describes a three-year long research project in which nine large-bodied women have engaged in a prolonged dialogue with the researcher about the experience of being 'obese'. The study involved an extensive review of the multidisciplinary literature that informs our understandings of body size. The literature review was shared with participants in order to support their critical understanding of their experience. The experience of participants raised questions as to how nursing could best provide health-care for large women. An examination of a wide range of literature pertinent to the area of study reveals widespread acceptance of the notion that to be thin is to be healthy and virtuous, and to be fat is to be unhealthy and morally deficient. According to the literature review, nurses have perpetuated an unhelpful and reductionist approach to their care of large women, in direct contradiction to nursing's supposed allegiance to a holistic approach to health-care. This paper suggests strategies for an improved response to women who are concerned about their large body size. |
