Abstract |
The Well Child/Tamariki Ora Health Book (the Plunket book) is a small booklet given to New Zealand mothers on the birth of a child. Although use of the book has decreased since it?s inception in 1920, it is frequently kept within the family and handed on from mother to child. Utilising an oral history approach, this study has traced the development of the Plunket book over time and explored the experiences of a group of 34 women and one man who have reflected on their ownership of, or involvement with, Plunket books. The study found that the book remains an effective clinical tool for mothers and nurses. Nurses use the book as a tool to help develop a relationship with a mother and her family, and to identify and build on strengths. Mothers have used the book as a tool to link past with present, to maintain kinship ties across generations, to deal with change intergenerationally, and in a manner that contributes to their self-identity as woman and mother. The study recommends that nurses and other health professionals continue to use the Plunket book as a clinical tool mindful of the fact that the book remains in use beyond the health professional?s immediate involvement with the mother and child, playing an important role in the context of the New Zealand family across generations. |

Abstract |
A dissertation submitted in partial fulfilment for the degree of Master of Health Sciences.
Primary nursing as a framework within which nurses deliver patient care has been a nursing care delivery system of choice in New Zealand for the last two decades. A number of studies have been carried out, with a review of the literature suggesting inconclusive support for this delivery system over other functional nursing care models. However, there is support for the philosophy underpinning this model, with documented evidence that this framework can help nurses achieve a degree of professional development and autonomous practice that other models cannot. Using documented information created during the move from one model of nursing care to another this work evaluates what were the drivers for the change, how it was managed and what the outcomes were.
Findings indicated that this change project was a success. Analysis of the data collected pre and post implementation indicated some positive shifts, but more importantly it was the information gathered from both patients and nurses that gave creditability to the new model of nursing care. |

Abstract |
This book examines in detail the confluence of personalities and professional and practice agendas, out of which emerged the research section, intent on placing research at the centre of the profession's evolution. It provides a fascinating look at how a group of women, utterly committed to nursing, drove their research agenda and it expands understandings of why nursing research is significant for the development of nursing. It also provides an insight into that web of relationships between the professional body, NZNA, the Department of Health, service delivery and education.

Abstract |
The well known premise that 'healthy children grow into healthy adults' should reinforce the need for us to engage with parents and caregivers to ensure that we support them with meeting their child's health care needs. This scholarship enabled the author to see what the UK, Sweden, the US, and Canada were doing to strengthen and support children under five and their families across the continuum of care. Part of the Margaret May Blackwell Scholarship Reports series. |
