  Title Motivating change: Using motivational interviewing in practice development Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Practice Development in Health Care Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 3 Issue 2 Pages 92-100  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Hospitals; Motivation; Older people  
  Abstract The present paper draws on experiences and insights gained by a group of psychiatric nurse practice development facilitators whilst working with consumers, carers, clinicians and managers in the context of a practice development programme in a large metropolitan psychiatric hospital. The paper describes how the practice development facilitators were able to adapt techniques of motivational interviewing, commonly used in drug and alcohol treatment services, to help motivate change in an aged care setting. The lessons embedded within this experience are that people do want change, and that sustained change requires ownership and support. Practice development facilitators can assist in this process though the use of principles and strategies of motivational interviewing, which include increasing awareness of the need for change, supporting self-efficacy and managing resistance to change.

  Title Evaluation of the implementation of a best practice information sheet: Tracheal suctioning of adults with an artificial airway Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication JBI Reports Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 2 Issue 9 Pages 293-308  
  Keywords Evidence-based medicine; Nursing; Guidelines; Evaluation  
  Abstract This report presents an evaluation of the implementation of a best practice information sheet related to tracheal suctioning of adults with an artificial airway. The Centre for Evidence-Based Nursing Aotearoa, based in Auckland, conducted a systematic review of the evidence and produced the best practice information sheet. A survey of 105 nurses was conducted at three sites, in New Zealand and Australia. Using a before/after design, data were collected at the time of release of the information sheet and then approximately 12 months later. The study suggests a trend towards a modest uptake of best practice recommendations into nursing practice demonstrated by some behavioural changes within a 12-month period in the context of an implementation plan and the best practice information sheet.

  Title Graduate nurses and their experience of postgraduate education within a Graduate Nurse programme Type Report
  Year 2007 Publication Abbreviated Journal Copies can be obtained from The Department of Nursing and Health Studies, Manukau Institute of Techn  
  Volume (down) (Monograph Series 2/2007) Issue Pages  
  Keywords Nursing; Education; New graduate nurses; Teaching methods; Students  
  Abstract The authors note that the literature identifies that the transition from tertiary based training to the realities of industry expectations can be a stressful period for graduates. Various District Health Boards offer postgraduate papers within their graduate nursing programmes, resulting in graduates being expected to perform the role of a beginning practitioner as well as embark on postgraduate education during this first year. As yet, the authors note, there is little evidence available to substantiate the efficacy and impact of such papers. The purpose of this study was to explore graduate nurse's experience of postgraduate education within the Graduate Nurse Programme. The report contains the results of a survey of nurses within the Programme. This report details the results of that survey and make recommendations for consideration.

  Title Influences on Registered Nurses Having an annual influenza vaccination: Lessons from New Zealand Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (down) 2 Issue 1 Pages 12-16  
  Keywords  
  Abstract The aim of this research was to explore what influences registered nurses (RNs) to have the annual influenza vaccine. In the past, influenza vaccination of health care workers has been identified as the primary method of preventing influenza transmission to at-risk groups that, by virtue of illness, congregate in and around hospitals.

Findings showed that some RNs have confidence in the influenza vaccine being effective in preventing influenza infection; however there remained a high proportion of RNs who thought that the vaccine could or might cause influenza. Participants had incorrect knowledge and beliefs about the influenza vaccine, infection and cross infection.

  Title Communities of Practice: Supporting innovation to improve public health nurse and school community relationships Type Journal Article
  Year 2011 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal Held by NZNO Library  
  Volume (down) 2 Issue 1 Pages 21-26  
  Keywords  
  Abstract Public health nursing has been an integral part of health delivery services in New Zealand since the development of a public health service in the early 1900s.

This paper details a qualitative study of a practice innovation undertaken by a group of nurses to reconnect with their school communities. Questions focused on whether the relationship between the public health nurses and their school communities improved as a result of the innovation and what impact, if any, the project had on the public health nurse team itself. Community of practice theory revealed the importance of collaboration and the benefits that can accrue from this approach for both nurse and school communities.
