  Title Ensuring doctoral research is relevant to the international nursing community Type Journal Article
  Year 2023 Publication Nursing Praxis in Aotearoa New Zealand Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (up) 39 Issue 2 Pages  
  Keywords Nursing research; Doctoral research; PhD research; International research community  
  Abstract Argues that nurses undertaking doctoral research have a responsibility to ensure their research engages with international nursing research and is relevant post-doctorally. Distinguishes between the purpose of PhDs and Professional Doctorates. Finds that nursing doctoral graduates are impeded from assuming leading roles in funded research. Attempts to find ways to address this challenge, suggesting that remote attendance at conferences and Internet communication with nurse researchers overseas encourages an international perspective on nursing topics.

  Title The New Zealand development and trial of mental health nursing clinical indicators: A bicultural study Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication International Journal of Nursing Studies Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (up) 40 Issue 8 Pages 853-861  
  Keywords Biculturalism; Psychiatric Nursing; Professional competence; Evaluation  
  Abstract This paper describes the development and validation of bicultural clinical indicators that measure achievement of mental health nursing practice standards in New Zealand (ANZMCHN, 1995, Standards of practice for mental health nursing in New Zealand). A four-stage research design was utilised including focus groups, Delphi surveys, a pilot, and a national field study, with mental health nurses and consumers as participants. Results revealed a variation in the mean occurrence of the clinical indicators in consumer case notes of 18.5-89.9%. Five factors with good internal consistency, encompassing domains of mental health nursing required for best practice, were derived from analysis of the questionnaire. This study presents a research framework for developing culturally and clinically valid, reliable measures of clinical practice.

  Title Negotiated care: A model for nursing work in the renal setting Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (up) 42 Issue 4 Pages 355-363  
  Keywords Chronically ill; Nursing models; Nurse-patient relations; Communication  
  Abstract This article outlines a model for the nursing role in the chronic health care context of renal replacement therapy. Materials from several streams of literature are used to conceptualise the potential for nursing work in the renal setting as negotiated care. In order to present the role of the renal nurse in this way it is contextualised by viewing the renal setting as a specialised social context constituted by a dominant professional discourse and a contrasting client discourse. While performing specific therapeutic activities in accord with the dominant discourse, renal nurses can develop a relationship with the person living on dialysis, based on responsiveness to their subjective experience reflecting the renal client discourse. In contrast to the language of noncompliance prevalent in the renal setting, nurses can, through their relationship with renal clients, facilitate their attempts to negotiate the requirements of the therapeutic regime into their own personal life situation. Nurses can mediate between the dominant and client discourses for the person living on dialysis. Care describes the quality that nurses actively seek to create in their relationships with clients, through negotiation, in order to support them to live as fully as possible while using renal replacement therapy. The author concludes that within chronic health care contexts, shaped by the acute curative paradigm of biomedicine, the model of nursing work as negotiated care has the potential to humanise contemporary medical technologies by responding to clients' experiences of illness and therapy.

  Title Effects of New Zealand's health reengineering on nursing and patient outcomes Type Journal Article
  Year 2005 Publication Medical Care Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (up) 43 Issue 11 Pages 1140-1146  
  Keywords Patient safety; Organisational change; Nursing; Hospitals  
  Abstract This study sought to examine the effects that hospital re-engineering may have on adverse patient outcomes and the nursing workforce. In 1993, New Zealand implemented policies aimed at controlling costs in the country's public health care system through market competition, generic management, and managerialism. The study was a retrospective, longitudinal analysis of administrative data. Relationships between adverse outcome rates and nursing workforce characteristics were examined using autoregression analysis. All medical and surgical discharges from New Zealand's public hospitals (n=3.3 million inpatient discharges) from 1989 through 2000 and survey data from the corresponding nursing workforce (n=65,221 nurse responses) from 1993 through 2000 were examined. Measures included the frequency of 11 nurse sensitive patient outcomes, average length of stay, and mortality along with the number of nursing full time equivalents (FTEs), hours worked, and skill mix. After 1993, nursing FTEs and hours decreased 36% and skill mix increased 18%. Average length of stay decreased approximately 20%. Adverse clinical outcome rates increased substantially. Mortality decreased among medical patients and remained stable among surgical patients. The relationship between changes in nursing and adverse outcomes rates over time were consistently statistically significant. The authors conclude that in the chaotic environment created by re-engineering policy, patient care quality declined as nursing FTEs and hours decreased. The study provides insight into the role organisational change plays in patient outcomes, the unintended consequences of health care re-engineering and market approaches in health care, and nursing's unique contribution to quality of care.

  Title Conceptions of critical thinking held by nurse educators Type Journal Article
  Year 2004 Publication Journal of Nursing Education Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (up) 43 Issue 9 Pages 408-411  
  Keywords Critical thinking; Feminist critique; Nursing; Education  
  Abstract This study investigated nurse educators' conceptions of critical thinking used in making judgment related to nursing. Twelve nurse educators from a large nursing school in an urban environment in New Zealand participated in this qualitative study. A semistructured questionnaire was used to explore the nurse educators' conceptions of critical thinking. The study found that the participants viewed rational, logical thinking as a central focus of critical thinking. However, in addition to these traditional perspectives, the nurse educators also included in their conceptions views more commonly held by feminist writers. These aspects focused on attention to intuition, subjective knowing, attention to context, emotions, and caring.

  Title Deconstructing risk assessment and management in mental health nursing Type Journal Article
  Year 2003 Publication Journal of Advanced Nursing Abbreviated Journal  
  Volume (up) 43 Issue 1 Pages 19-27  
  Keywords Psychiatric Nursing; Risk management; Policy; Culture  
  Abstract The aims of the study were to provide a deconstructive analysis of the concepts of risk and risk management, and to explore the historical context of mental disorder and the concept of risk, the clinical context of risk assessment and management, the cultural, political and economic context of risk, and the impact on mental health nursing and consumers of mental health services. This is undertaken by providing a critical review of the history of mental illness and its relationship to risk, examination of government policy on clinical risk management, analysis of a risk assessment model and a discussion of the political and economic factors that have influenced the use of risk assessment and management in clinical practice. The concept of risk and its assessment and management have been employed in the delivery of mental health services as a form of contemporary governance. One consequence of this has been the positioning of social concerns over clinical judgement. The process employed to assess and manage risk could be regarded as a process of codification, commodification and aggregation. In the mental health care setting this can mean attempting to control the actions and behaviours of consumers and clinicians to best meet the fiscal needs of the organisation. The authors conclude that the mental health nursing profession needs to examine carefully its socially mandated role as guardians of those who pose a risk to others to ensure that its practice represents its espoused therapeutic responsibilities.
