By Dickinson, A.
Neonatal, Paediatric and Child Health Nursing. Vol.17 No.3, November 2014
Abstract: Health professionals working with children have been at the fore in advocating for programs and services which ensure that all children in New Zealand get the best start in life. For those who have been working in child health services for some time in New Zealand it has seemed a long and arduous battle to get successive governments to see the need for health care tailored to the needs of children and delivered by health professionals with specialist training.

5. Mapping pain assessment and management in a surgical neonatal intensive care unit: a process for best practice
By Barker, A., Spence, K. & Wilson, V.
Neonatal, Paediatric and Child Health Nursing. Vol.17 No.3, November 2014
Abstract: Aim: To describe a process for mapping current practice within the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) to inform practice change. There are evidence-based recommendations for practices concerning neonatal pain. Despite these guidelines, there continues to be poor utilisation of evidence to guide pain assessment and management in the NICU.

Patient records of postoperative neonates were examined using a retrospective chart review to determine if knowledge was transferred into practice through compliance with clinical practice guidelines.

8. High-flow nasal cannula therapy for infants with bronchiolitis
By Bradford, N & Mannix, T
Neonatal, Paediatric and Child Health Nursing. Vol.17 No.3, November 2014
Abstract: Bronchiolitis is a major cause of hospitalisation in children under 24 months of age and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. The illness is usually caused by a virus, commonly respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) and is characterised by acute wheezing, rhinorrhoea, sneezing, coughing, fever and tachypnoea. Conventional supportive care for bronchiolitis is to provide supplemental oxygen, respiratory support and fluid therapy. An emerging alternative to conventional care is to deliver heated, humidified highflow nasal cannula (HFNC) oxygen.

14. Games, civil war and mutiny: metaphors of conflict for the nurse-doctor relationship in medical television programmes
By Weaver, Roslyn. Nursing Inquiry. Dec 2013, Vol. 20 Issue 4, p280-292. 11p
Abstract: Metaphors of medicine are common, such as war, which is evident in much of our language about health-care where patients and healthcare professionals fight disease, or the game, which is one way to frame the nurse-doctor professional relationship. This study analyses six pilot episodes of American ( Grey's Anatomy, Hawthorne, Mercy, Nurse Jackie) and Australian ( All Saints, RAN) medical television programmes premiering between 1998 and 2009 to assess one way that our contemporary culture understands and constructs professional relationships between nurses and doctors. Analysis shows that these popular television programmes frequently depict conflict, with games, civil war and mutiny between nurses and doctors over patient safety rather than professionals working collaboratively in teams to deliver health-care
15. Choosing nursing as a career: a narrative analysis of millennial nurses' career choice of virtue
By Price, Sheri Lynn; McGillis Hall, Linda; Angus, Jan E; Peter, Elizabeth.
Nursing Inquiry. Dec 2013, Vol. 20 Issue 4, p305-316. 12p
Abstract: The growth and sustainability of the nursing profession depends on the ability to recruit and retain the upcoming generation of professionals. Understanding the career choice experiences and professional expectations of Millennial nurses (born 1980 or after) is a critical component of recruitment and retention strategies. This study utilized Polkinghorne's interpretive, narrative approach to understand how Millennial nurses explain, account for and make sense of their choice of nursing as a career. The narratives reveal how participants' perceptions and expectations remain influenced by a stereotypical understanding of nursing, an image that remains prevalent in society and which holds implications for the future recruitment, socialization and retention strategies for upcoming and future generations of nurses.
16. Client involvement in home care practice: a relational sociological perspective
By Glasdam, Stinne; Henriksen, Nina; Kjær, Lone; Praestegaard, Jeanette.
Nursing Inquiry. Dec 2013, Vol. 20 Issue 4, p329-340. 12p
Abstract: 'Client involvement' has been a mantra within health policies, education curricula and healthcare institutions over many years, yet very little is known about how 'client involvement' is practised in home-care services. The aim of this article is to analyse 'client involvement' in practise seen from the positions of healthcare professionals, an elderly person and his relative in a home-care setting. A sociologically inspired single case study was conducted, consisting of three weeks of observations and interviews.
