Osborne","doi":"10.36951/ngpxnz.2017.008","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.36951/ngpxnz.2017.008","url":null,"abstract":"IntroductionThe transition period from undergraduate student nurse to the graduate registered nurse (GRN) role can be a stressful time for many (Tsai et al., 2014). This challenging and demanding transition can lead to dissatisfaction with nursing, high personal stress levels and intention to leave the profession (Jamieson, Kirk, & Andrew, 2012). High turnover rates for new graduates is costly both to the graduates and the employer. To mitigate these concerns, historically the preceptorship model of clinical teaching and learning (CTL) has been used globally to support GRNs (Hyrkas & Shoemaker, 2007). This article presents the findings from the pilot of an alternative model of CTL, the Canterbury Dedicated Education Unit (CDEU), used to support New Zealand GRNs enrolled in a Nurse Entry to Practice Programme (NETP) in an inpatient unit. In this context the GRNs were students who had graduated from New Zealand Bachelor of Nursing programmes within the last six months and who had passed the Nursing Council of New Zealand state exams to become registered nurses. The GRNs were in their first year of practice and were employed as registered nurses by a District Health Board and concurrently enrolled into a NETP. Nurse Entry to Practice Programmes are \"structured entry programmes [13 months duration] ... for nurses wishing to work in hospitals, primary care, or aged and residential care\" (Ministry of Health, 2014, para 1).The preceptorship model of CTL, that was in place to support GRNs, was becoming more difficult to manage in this unit due to a number of issues, including larger numbers of part time staff and a lack of trained and consistently available preceptors. In addition, preceptor fatigue was occurring due to increasing demands on the limited pool of trained preceptors being repeatedly allocated to support increasing numbers of GRNs allocated to this unit, coupled with the need to provide on-going support to undergraduate nursing students and new staff (Charge Nurse Manager, personal communication, 20 August 2013). For the past six years, this area had been successfully using the CDEU model of CTL to support undergraduate nursing students. The unit decided to pilot the CDEU model to support GRNs to ascertain if this model could address the areas of concern noted above.Literature reviewThe preceptorship model of clinical teaching and learningThe preceptorship model of CTL is based on a 1:1 nurse/ student ratio, with students mirroring the shifts of their preceptor for the entire length of their clinical placement (Billay & Myrick, 2008; Maginnis & Croxon, 2007; New Zealand Nurse Educators Preceptorship Subgroup, 2010; Sharples & Elcock, 2011). In this model, a high level of commitment is required from the preceptor, as they are often allocated a student for long periods of time. The preceptorship model has been successfully implemented worldwide (Hyrkas & Shoemaker, 2007), however, concerns have been voiced about a range of issues, including pr","PeriodicalId":77298,"journal":{"name":"Nursing praxis in New Zealand inc","volume":"96 1","pages":"29"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85313218","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

No woman willingly agrees to this. Recent media coverage by Newshubb (2017) revealed sexist comments made by some young college students over social media that were disrespectful toward women.After posting comments about rape, apologies were issued, and the young men said it was meant to be a joke. The young men involved have been suspended and counselled. Agencies like Rape Crisis were called in to talk to these young men about respect and consent in an intimate relationship. I wondered what part of any comments - when made about rape - could be construed as a joke. I also began to wonder if young men are made to think about how the sexualized language they use objectifies women and how much of this language conveys their values and beliefs about women, and how this contributes to the high rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) in our society.So what is it that we teach our sons about the values of a 'good man' and how is this related to the masculinities of the present-day New Zealand male? The ideal aspects of a New Zealand male, as defined by his peers, is one based on early pioneering values of toughness and the repression of tenderness in order to be a good soldier and rugby player (Abdinor, 2000). Bray and Hutchinson (2007) claimed that the developments of boys' masculinities are socially shaped to conform to an image of hardness, and the suppression of tender emotions, which leads to the acceptability of anger. Murphy (2009) found that although men would like to be caring and loving toward their partners, there is pressure to conform to the dominant masculine view held by New Zealand society. Perhaps a dissonance occurs when men are socialized to be physically strong, good providers, and allowed to display anger by society yet expected to be caring, loving, and respectful partners.The way that violence began for women, in my PhD study, was through power and control. Power and control came through initially as ownership practices that could be construed as caring. The violence was hidden and dressed as care and protection until it was slowly revealed as control. Amanda's narrative is a prime example of how power and control proceeds gradually and is often mistaken for the intensity of love and protection before it descends into violence.Well no one says hi my name is so and so and punches you in the nose because that's no sort of opening line.The way it unfolds is interesting and unusual... ...[he was] very protective, very caring, very sort of, \"I'll come here with you to do this, go with you and I'll take care of this,\" like a bear type and it was 'oh that's so nice that he's caring for me', but it was actually that he needed to control this for himself in case I caused some disruption. But interestingly to start with I saw it as very caring and not as control or a loss of freedom. Just saw it as, 'someone wants t","PeriodicalId":77298,"journal":{"name":"Nursing praxis in New Zealand inc","volume":"150 1","pages":"4"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77382513","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Statements from governments concerning this have included affirmations that older adults are an esteemed and valuable resource for our communities along with exhortations to those older adults to optimise their health and to continue to contribute to society (Office for Senior Citizens, 2014 ; United Nations, 2002). This optimistic approach is opposed by more negative cultural strands in Western society which focus on the losses of old age, and see the ageing population as an economic threat. The pervasive negativity may be internalised by older adults. Research has found that older people are sometimes still the subject of abuse and neglect, and that these situations develop from negative beliefs and attitudes about older people (Breitholtz, Snellman, & Fagerberg, 2013; Dwyer, Gray, & Renwick, 2000). The ability to be autonomous and independent is a significant factor in how adults negotiate the challenges of old age. A qualitative research project was therefore conducted in New Zealand in 2015 to investigate the meaning of autonomy and independence among a small group of older adults.BackgroundAutonomy literally means 'self-rule' (Welford, Murphy, Rodgers, & Frauenlob, 2012) and is a commonly cherished value in Western societies today (Agich, 2003). In health care literature, the concepts of autonomy and independence are frequently found together or used interchangeably and their definitions tend to vary according to the discipline in question (Agich, 2003; Sandman, 2005). One useful conceptualisation of independence is presented as one of four aspects of autonomy in which a person has the capacity to act on the decisions they have made (Sandman, 2005). The other three aspects of autonomy are self-determination where a person acts according to their own choices, freedom which refers to the realistic alternatives a person has, and desire fulfilment which means that the person obtains what they really want.Studies investigating the opinions of older adults about their independence and decision-making have shown that it is highly important to older adults to maintain independence and control in their lives (Doyle, 2010; Haak, Fange, Iwarsson, & Ivanoff, 2007; White & Groves, 1997). A determination to stay out of residential care is supported by strenuous efforts to do everything necessary to keep their independence (Heathcote, 2000; Wiles, Leibing, Guberman, Reeve, & Allen, 2012). For example, Haak et al. (2007) interviewed independent people in their 80s who lived at home, and expressions of determination included forcing themselves to be as independent as possible, because they believed independence equated with a life worth living.Strategies used by older adults for achieving the goal of maintaining independence may include relinquishing l","PeriodicalId":77298,"journal":{"name":"Nursing praxis in New Zealand inc","volume":"29 1","pages":"20-28"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86838118","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In New Zealand (NZ) there are approximately 31,452 nursing support workers and personal care assistants working in nursing homes and in the community, with HCAs making up the majority of this workforce (Statistics New Zealand, 2013). Direct care in ARC is mainly provided by HCAs who are unregulated; a marginalized workforce, due to undervaluing of aged care services and low wages (McGregor, 2012). This aging, gendered and ethnically diverse workforce is expected to grow in response to the demands of the aging population (Kiata, Kerse, & Dixon, 2005; Ravenswood, Douglas, & Teo, 2014). There are concerns about recruitment and retention (Badkar, Callister, & Didham, 2009; Badkar & Manning, 2009; Grant Thornton New Zealand Limited, 2010; Ravenswood et al., 2014) but of equal concern is the landscape of care into which the HCA is recruited.Registered nurses (RNS) in aged care settings are responsible for the care delivered by HCAs and need to have an in-depth insight into the contemporary and evolving roles of HCAs, and the diverse challenges experienced by this workforce. Healthcare assistant responsibilities and workloads are expanding as they work with residents who have complex health conditions. Influential factors that shape the working environment of the NZ HCA were identified in a thorough review of the existing grey literature, current national policy, district health board (DHB) contract agreements and New Zealand Nursing Organization (NZNO) collective agreements. This article presents an overview of the role of HCAs in the current residential aged care environment. The authors argue that RNs need to be cognisant of the socio-political, economic and educational factors that influence HCA's ability to navigate the complexity of the aged care environment and the delivery of personcentred care in the New Zealand aged care context.Demand for aged caregivingThe demand for ARC is increasing, as are the associated costs for care and demands placed on the workforce. There were approximately 33,006 residents in aged care facilities for 2015-2016. This number is projected to increase to 40,619 for the period 2026-2027, and to 60,080 in 2031-2032 (Technical Advisory Services [TAS], n.d.-a). Currently there are 669 certified aged care facilities in NZ offering 38,742 beds (Ministry of Health [MOH], 2016a) with 90% overall occupancy rates for dedicated rest home beds, 88.8% occupancy for swing or dual beds which serve either rest home or hospital level care and 87.6% for specialist dementia beds (Kana, 2015). The DHB expenditure for the support of older people was $983 million with $590 million directed to ARC in 2016 (MOH, 2016b). The government weekly contribution for long term-residential care for individuals differs for each territorial district with the highest funding of $971.53 fo","PeriodicalId":77298,"journal":{"name":"Nursing praxis in New Zealand inc","volume":"9 1","pages":"7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"87809930","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People over 65 years of age make up the largest percentage of individuals with long-term conditions (Statistics New Zealand, 2014). A common long-term condition is Parkinson's disease (PD) which is a slow, progressive neurodegenerative disease affecting 10,000 people in NZ (Parkinson's NZ, 2015). The predicted life span of a person with PD is 15 years from diagnosis (Best Practice Journal, 2014) with over 75% of people experiencing dementia after 10 years (Hawley, Armstrong, & Weiner, 2014). The spouse of the partner with PD is usually very willing to take on the role of informal carer, but often is not prepared for what will be involved. Caring for someone over a long period of time is known to have detrimental effects on the caregiver's quality of life (Irving, 2005; Jorgensen, Arksey, Parsons, & Jacobs, 2009). The carer may deal with lack of sleep, grief, social isolation, worry and depression (Greenwell, Gray, van Wersch, van Schaik, & Walker, 2015). The purpose of this study was to understand the experience of the spouse who cares for a partner with PD in NZ, identify areas of support that may be needed, and inform professional health practice.Literature reviewThe literature relating to PD and the spousal caregiver was explored with particular attention given to, but not limited to research done in NZ. There is consistent evidence throughout the literature that being an informal caregiver over a long period of time can be detrimental to one's health (Irving, 2005; Lyons, Stewart, Archbold, & Carter, 2009; McLaughlin et al., 2010; Morley et al., 2012; Roland, Jenkins, & Johnson, 2010; Tan, Williams, & Morris, 2012). Importantly, literature stressed how vital the informal caregiving role is because it enhances the quality of life of the person with PD and is also of economic benefit to the government (Jorgensen et al., 2009; Presho, 2008). In NZ, the government theoretically acknowledges the contribution of all informal caregivers and seeks to provide support and assistance to them in line with the New Zealand Carers' Strategy Action Plan (Ministry of Social Development, 2014). However, McPherson, Kayes, Moloczij, and Cummins (2014) and Carryer, Doolan-Noble, Gauld, and Budge (2014) maintain that government services and programmes related to integrated care for people with long-term conditions and their carers are lacking.Roland et al. (2010) argue that of all the literature published internationally about PD, only 1% focuses on the problems of caregiving. Only a handful of researchers have prioritised research examining the psychological and psychosocial impacts of PD on the informal caregiver (Carter, Lyons, Lindauer, & Malcolm, 2012; Davis et al., 2014; Greenwell et al., 2015, Kudlicka, Clare, & Hindle, 2014; Lyons et al., 2009; McCabe & O'Connor, 2012; Morley et al., 2012; Schrag, Hovris, Morley,","PeriodicalId":77298,"journal":{"name":"Nursing praxis in New Zealand inc","volume":"19 1","pages":"7"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"73954992","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The country continues to benefit from Irihapeti Ramsden's conceptualisation of cultural safety, and its incorporation into nursing requirements by the Council; the establishment of Te Kaunihera o Nga Neehi Maori o Aotearoa, the National Council of Maori Nurses; the development of Maori nurse training programmes addressing the under-representation of Maori in the nursing workforce; the commitment of nurses to working with Maori communities in whanau ora services. These are all examples of praxis - putting the principles of Te Tiriti into practice. Te reo Maori (Maori language) is central to the governance, provision and development of health care and health research from a Maori worldview.Maori language and tikanga have a critical role in health care in Aotearoa New Zealand. Maori patients and whanau feel more respected when their names are pronounced correctly and they are greeted appropriately. Patient-directed use of the language supports positive relationships with Maori patients and whanau, and enhances perceptions of the quality of care (Pitama et al., 2011). Developing skills in te reo Maori can also boost the confidence of health professionals working with Maori patients, whanau and communities.Language revitalisation requires increased exposure and access to the language throughout all spheres of life, including research and scholarship. For those of us learning te reo, and those of us involved in health research, the abstracts in this journal provide kupu Maori (vocabulary) that can support us to speak or write about our research in te reo.Confidence in pronouncing and teaching key Maori resources, models of health, strategies, and policies is also vital for tertiary educators. Teachers who are worried about pronunciation may avoid focusing on important Maori models of health such as Te Whare Tapa Wha or Te Wheke, or even key policies and strategies such as He Korowai Oranga, the Maori Health Strategy. Such an absence disadvantages students and ultimately weakens our health system's ability to achieve health equity. Free or low cost courses in Maori language are available online and in many communities or institutions.The Waitangi Tribunal has alluded to the potential for developing new Treaty principles from their conclusive findings that sovereignty was not ceded by the rangatira who signed Te Tiriti o Waitangi (Waitangi Tribunal, 2014).

However, there is a scarcity of studies investigating the experiences of liver transplant recipients' recovery - a concept which has only recently started to mean something different from survival. An early Australian study, exploring the experiential issues of one woman, a liver transplant recipient, concluded that although survival had many dimensions, going home did not appear to be one of them (Lumby, 1997). Rather, the subject of this study, Maree, explored the paradox of confronting both \"life and death at the same time and doing so as a nurse, a mother, a wife and a daughter\" (Lumby, 1997, p. 232),noting that her family appeared to expect that she would resume her previous roles as though there had been no changes. In a study exploring the first five years of the Australian National Liver Transplant Unit, established in 1985, survival was defined as going home, but absent from this study were the perceptions patients held of their experiences from \"diagnosis to survival and beyond\" (Lumby, 1997, p. 232).Leaving the hospital, and thereby leaving the experts, following a liver transplantation has many unique facets that up to this point in time have not been widely investigated from a patient's perspective. This article reports on the findings of a doctoral research project that sought to understand the experiences of liver transplant patients and the specific aspects that ensue following discharge from a clinical facility. Nurses are pivotal in assisting patients to broaden their view and understanding of liver transplantation recovery, beyond mere survival, to surviving and thriving. They provide essential preparatory information and patient education to assist transplant recipients as they transition from admission through to discharge and on to returning home.Research by Blanch and colleagues (2004) noted that studies have consistently found that a patient's psychosocial or emotional adjustment following a major illness is as important as physical health status. In their study of liver transplant recipients in Spain, they found that gender was the only factor that predicted a poor adjustment. An earlier study in relation to bone marrow transplant had found that women reported higher psychiatric morbidity, more medical problems and were less active (Prieto et al., 1996). In their study, Blanch et al. (2004) found that women demonstrate more dysfunction in their attitude to health care, sexual relationships, extended family relationships and psychological distress. Women seemed to be more impacted by their illness status.
