Title How often do health professionals wash their hands? Type Journal Article
Year (down) 2001 Publication Vision: A Journal of Nursing Abbreviated Journal
Volume 7 Issue 13 Pages 29-32
Keywords Infection control; Attitude of health personnel
Abstract This literature review presents evidence on health professionals' practice in hand washing. The research was primarily quantitative and consistently showed that health professionals did not have a lack of knowledge, but that hand washing was not always done. More qualitative research is required to investigate reasons for this and possible interventions.

Title The role of rural nurses: National survey Type Report
Year (down) 2000 Publication Abbreviated Journal Online on the Ministry of Health's Centre for Rural Health pages
Volume Issue Pages
Keywords Rural nursing; Personnel; Nursing specialties; Primary health care
Abstract A survey was used to reach as many nurses as possible involved with nursing in “rural” areas throughout New Zealand and to build a profile of nurses involved in the provision of healthcare beyond the urban centres. The contact also sought to inform nurses of the rural healthcare project and encourage them to contribute their experience to the development of health services in the new health service structure. Data is presented on the characteristics and employment conditions of nurses and access to resources including information technology. The inadequacy of information on the rural nurse workforce is identified: nurse roles are historically defined yet employment patterns are changing according to the workforce demands of new structures, and the existing definitions of rural health service design and delivery are only in terms of general medical practices and on-call coverage. Recommendations are made for definitions of “rurality” and “rural nurse” that will allow a more useful depiction of the nurse workforce.
