Title The therapeutic relationship: Historical development and contemporary significance Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication Journal of Psychiatric & Mental Health Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 8 Issue 2 Pages 129-137
Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Nursing models; History of nursing; Nurse-patient relations
Abstract This article examines the therapeutic relationship, a concept held by many to be fundamental to the identity of mental health nurses. While the therapeutic relationship was given formal expression in nursing theory in the middle of the last century, its origins can be traced to attendants' interpersonal practices in the asylum era. The dominance of medical understandings of mental distress, and the working-class status of asylum attendants, prevented the development of an account of mental health nursing based on attendants' relationships with asylum inmates. It was left to Peplau and other nursing theorists to describe mental health nursing as a therapeutic relationship in the 1940s and later. Some distinctive features of colonial life in New Zealand suggest that the ideal of the attendant as the embodiment of bourgeoisie values seems particularly unlikely to have been realised in the New Zealand context. However, New Zealand literature from the 20th century shows that the therapeutic relationship, as part of a general development of a therapeutic discourse, came to assume a central place in conceptualisations of mental health nursing. While the therapeutic relationship is not by itself a sufficient basis for professional continuity, it continues to play a fundamental role in mental health nurses' professional identity. The way in which the therapeutic relationship is articulated in the future will determine the meaning of the therapeutic relationship for future generations of mental health nurses.

Title Casualization of the nursing workforce: A New Zealand perspective on an international phenomenon Type Journal Article
Year 2001 Publication International Journal of Nursing Practice Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 7 Issue 2 Pages 104-108
Keywords Industrial relations; Organisational change; Nursing; Personnel staffing and scheduling
Abstract A discussion of the increased use of 'casual' nursing staff (those nurses employed on a casual or 'per diem' basis) is presented. Reference is made to related literature, together with consideration of the implications associated with this trend. This issue has international significance, with the increased use of casual staff being widely recognised. A New Zealand perspective is included, with the provision of nursing care at Christchurch Hospital presented to illustrate certain aspects of the discussion. The impact of changing health-care systems and increased emphasis on efficiency and accountability are identified. This change to workplace practice will inevitably affect nursing; possible future developments are considered.

Title International perspective: The development of the advanced role of rural nurses in New Zealand Type Journal Article
Year 1999 Publication Australian Journal of Rural Health Abbreviated Journal
Volume (down) 7 Issue 4 Pages 253-257
Keywords Nursing; Education; Rural nursing; Advanced nursing practice
Abstract This paper offers an insight into the development of the advanced role of rural nursing practice in New Zealand. The concept of advanced nursing practice is discussed within the context of the interdisciplinary healthcare team. It is argued that as nurses take on advanced practice, it is essential they receive appropriate clinical and theoretical skills to ensure they are in a position to provide competent and clinically safe, effective health care in an ethical, efficient manner. A description of a survey, undertaken by the author, studying rural nurses' skills provides the recommendation for the development of an appropriate postgraduate course at Masters level, designed specifically for primary rural nurses for the advanced role.
