Apelu, J. (2008). Pacific community mental health nurses' experiences of working for a district health board in New Zealand. Ph.D. thesis, , .
Abstract: This study explored the perspectives of Pacific nurses on what it is like for them to work in a Pacific community mental health (PCMH) service within a district health board. Five Pacific Island nurses who worked in the three Pacific community mental health services based in the Auckland region participated in the project. The study employed narrative inquiry to gather data through focused storytelling method. The results of the study have indicated that PCMH nursing is a unique nursing field as well as highlighting significant practice issues for nurses. Complex service infrastructure and language have been found to be the major contributing practice constraints. The findings suggest the need for district health board authorities, Pacific mental health service management, professional nursing education and development programs to consider addressing these practice issues to prevent further increase in the problem of PCMH nurses shortage and enhance recruitment and retention of these nurses.

Were, K. J. (2016). Early Career Nurses: The relationship between Organisational Climate and Job Satisfaction and Burnout. Master's thesis, University of Waikato, .
Abstract: Identifies early-career nurses' perceptions of their first two years of clinical practice, and how the organisational climate at a District Health Board (DHB) within NZ impacts on their success in clinical practice. Determines the relationship between three aspects of organisational climate -- nursing relationships, charge-nurse manager leadership, and staff organisation -- and early-career nurses' perceptions of job satisfaction and burnout. Receives 91 responses to a mixed-method survey. Identifies significant themes that emerged from thematic analysis: supervisor support, emotional labour, workload and staffing relations.
