Title What are the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards nursing, work and career?: A descriptive exploratory study Type
Year (up) 2012 Publication Abbreviated Journal Available from the NZNO Library
Volume Issue Pages 290 pp
Keywords Generation Y; Young nurses; Registered Nurses; Workforce planning; Attitudes to nursing; Surveys; Nursing shortages
Abstract The author has taken a broad approach to this research to explore the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards the nursing profession, the work itself and their career plans. This study arose out of the author?s interest in health care workforce planning for nursing and in particular the retention of young nurses given the current national and global shortage of nurses. Because of the broad and descriptive nature of the research, a wide variety of topics are included in the literature reviewed.

Chapter one provides background to the study and an overview of generational cohorts.

Chapter two explores selected literature relevant to the concept of work and the characteristics of the Generation Y workforce.

Other topics included in this chapter include Herzberg?s work motivation hygiene/maintenance theory and a selection of literature about key workforce recruitment and retention issues.

A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Health Sciences

Title What are the views of Generation Y New Zealand Registered Nurses towards nursing, work and career?: a descriptive exploratory study Type Book Whole
Year (up) 2012 Publication Abbreviated Journal
Volume Issue Pages 313
Keywords Generation Y; Registered nurses; Workforce retention; Work-life balance; Careers in nursing
Abstract Undertakes a descriptive exploratory study to ascertain the views of Generation Y NZ Registered Nurses (Gen Y nurses) towards nursing, work and career. Little empirical data exists about why young New Zealanders choose to become nurses in the 21st century. Further, little is known about their future career plans or their intentions to remain in the nursing workforce. Conducts a nationwide on-line survey of 358 Gen Y nurses from late 2009 to early 2010. Reports key findings: young NZ nurses are driven by traditional values of altruism, the desire to care for others, the ability to work closely with people, as well as being able to make a strong contribution to society when deciding to become a nurse, while seeking interesting, challenging and exciting work. Job security, the ongoing demand for nurses, the ability to leave and return, as well as the ability to combine work and family, are also important factors that help them to choose to become nurses.

Title Maori nurses and smoking; Conflicted identities and motivations for smoking cessation Type Journal Article
Year (up) 2013 Publication Kai Tiaki Nursing Research Abbreviated Journal Available through NZNO library
Volume 4 Issue 1 Pages 33-38
Keywords Maori nurses; Smoking cessation; smoking; Qualitative research
Abstract This research aims to design and test the feasibility of an intervention promoting smoking cessation, and reducing smoking relapse, among Māori nurses who smoke. It is being conducted in two phases. Phase one, a national web-based survey, conducted in December 2012, explored the views of Māori nurses (smokers, ex-smokers and non-smokers) regarding smoking. This paper reports on the analysis of qualitative responses from 410 nurses and nursing students identifying as Māori who completed an online survey. Five themes were identified: beliefs about smoking; ?for our tamariki?; personal stories of quitting; dissatisfaction with current approaches; and plans for future strategies. The findings confirm that nurses who smoke may experience feelings of conflict, and regard their behaviour as inconsistent with their role as nurses and health promoters. Nurses who smoke must be supported to become, and to stay, smokefree. Tailored Māori-specific cessation initiatives are needed.
