1.Baby gone: True New Zealand stories of infertility, miscarriage, stillbirth and infant loss.[WQ 225 DOU]
Compiled by Jenny Douche. Foreword by Catherine de Groot
Baby Gone contains 45 true stories, written from the heart by those affected. The stories give moving accounts about the conception and pregnancy experiences, but perhaps most importantly, they talk of the emotional roller-coaster that is life after loss.

5. It's all about the individual's right to choose: A qualitative study of Australian culturally and linguistically diverse nurses’ knowledge of and attitudes to voluntary assisted dying

Collegian, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.colegn.2021.06.001
Nurses have a fundamental role in providing care for people at the end of life. Some nurses from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds may have diverse opinions about death which may affect their views about voluntary assisted dying (VAD) and may impact on the care they provide. To date, there has not been a focus on the views of nurses from different CALD backgrounds on VAD. The implementation of VAD may place them at risk of ethical, moral, social and professional distress
6. Nurses’ views on legalising assisted dying in New Zealand: A cross-sectional study
Michael Wilson., Pam Oliver & Phillipa Malpas.
International Journal of Nursing Studies, 2019-01-01, Volume 89, Pages 116-124
This study investigated New Zealand nurses’ views on legalising assisted dying across a range of clinical conditions, nurses’ willingness to engage in legal assisted dying, potential deterrents and enablers to such engagement, and nurses’ perceptions of the proper role of their professional bodies in relation to legalising assisted dying.
7. Medical Assistance in Dying in Canada: Focus on Rural Communities
Schiller, Catharine J.
Journal for Nurse Practitioners. Published October 1, 2017. Volume 13, Issue 9. Pages 628-634
The 2015 Carter v Canada (Attorney General) case radically changed end-of-life care in Canada. This groundbreaking decision legalized physician-assisted suicide for competent adults who meet certain clinical criteria and who consent to their termination of life. The federal government then passed its legislative response, Bill C-14, to change the Criminal Code and legalize medical assistance in dying.
8. Preparing nurses for palliative and end of life care: A survey of New Zealand nursing schools
Lis Heath., Richard Egan., Jean Ross., Ella Iosua., Robert Walker & Rod MacLeod.
Nurse Education Today, 2021-05-01, Volume 100, Article 104822.
Nurses play a vital role in the care of people with advanced life-limiting illnesses, so palliative and end of life care is an essential skill nurses need to learn. Despite numerous reports in the international literature about educational developments in this area, there are widespread inconsistencies in undergraduate education, and graduates continue to report feeling unprepared for this part of their work.
9. The Emerging Role of Nurse Practitioners in Physician-assisted Death
Stokes, Felicia.
Journal for Nurse Practitioners. Published February 1, 2017. Volume 13, Issue 2. Pages 150-155.
This article explores the role of the nurse practitioner (NP) and raises the awareness of the potential for NPs to be called on to participate in physician-assisted death. This article identifies the ethical and legal dilemmas that NPs may face when dealing with patients who have requested physician-assisted death.
10. Grave new world: The conspiracy of silence surrounding non-voluntary euthanasia
Bokek-Cohen, Ya'arit, Tarabeih, Mahdi.
Applied Nursing Research. Published April 1, 2020. Volume 52. Article 151245
The scholarship of euthanasia indicates that in most cases, to date, non-voluntary euthanasia has been studied where euthanasia is legalized. Findings of these studies demonstrate the ‘slippery slope’ and reveal that non-voluntary euthanasia is pervasive in these countries.
11. Does ethnicity matter—Cultural factors underlying older adults’ end-of-life care preferences: A systematic review
Zahra Rahemi & Christine Lisa Williams.
Geriatric Nursing, 2020-03-01, Volume 41, Issue 2, Pages 89-97
The purpose of this review was to identify factors that may explain differences in EOL care preferences and planning between older adults from the general population and ethnically diverse populations. We hypothesized that culture-specific factors may be fundamental.

12. Missed nursing care in Australia: Exploring the contributing factors
Sarah L Mills & Maree Duddle.
Collegian. July 20, 2021. 23(3)
Nurses are increasingly ending their shifts with outstanding tasks and missing vital aspects of patient care. Research has indicated that this could have a detrimental effect on both nurse and patient outcomes.
13. ‘Missingness’ in health care: Associations between hospital utilization and missed appointments in general practice. A retrospective cohort study
Williamson, Andrea E; Ross McQueenie; Ellis, David A; McConnachie, Alex & Wilson, Philip.
PLoS One, June 2021. 16(6), e0253163. doi:10.1371/journal.pone.0253163
Are multiple missed appointments in general practice associated with increased use of hospital services and missingness from hospital care? This novel study explores this in a population representative sample for the first time.
14. Catching up after a year of disruption: Many patients have missed out on care – now inpatient, outpatient and community services are under pressure
Nursing Standard. Jan 2021. 36(1), 51-54. doi:10.7748/ns.36.1.51.s19
Many patients have missed out on care – now inpatient, outpatient and community services are under pressure.
15. Nurses' Perceptions of the Extent and Type of Missed Perioperative Nursing Care
Marsh, Valerie., Kalisch, Beatrice., McLaughlin, Margaret & Nguyen, Lan.
AORN Journal: The Official Voice of Perioperative Nursing. Sep 2020. 112(3),237-247. doi:10.1002/aom.13146
Missed nursing care is a concern on inpatient hospital units but has not been adequately explored in the perioperative setting. This cross-sectional study used results from a survey of 1,693 AORN members to investigate the amount and type of missed perioperative nursing care and evaluate associations between reported missed care and facility and nurse characteristics.
16. Missed Care from the Patient’s Perspective – A Scoping Review
Gustafsson, Noora., Leino-Kilpi, Helena., Prga, Ivana., Suhonen, Riitta & Stolt, Minna.
Patient Preference and Adherence, 2020. Vol. 14, 383-400. doi:10.2147/PPA.S238024
Missed care, defined as any aspect of patient care that is omitted or delayed, is receiving increasing attention. It is primarily caused by the imbalance between patients’ nursing care needs and the resources available, making it an ethical issue that challenges nurses’ professional and moral values. In this scoping review, conducted using the five-stage approach by Arksey and O’Malley, our aim is to analyze the patients’ perspective to missed care, as the topic has been mainly examined from nurses’ perspective.
17. Approaches to understanding the phenomenon of missed/rationed/unfinished care – a literature review
Kalánková, Dominika; Žiaková, Katarína; Kurucová, Radka.
Central European Journal of Nursing and Midwifery, 2019. 10(1), 1005-1016.
This literature review aims to describe, analyze and compare approaches to the phenomenon of missed/rationed/unfinished nursing care, in order to better our understanding of it.

Nursing Standard. 35(6), 24-26. doi: 10.7748/ns.35.6.24.s13
Published: 03 June 2020
As nurses worldwide feel the pain of prolonged use of personal protective equipment, we assess the advice on minimising the discomfort caused by masks and visors. Some of the most enduring images of the COVID-19 pandemic are of weary nurses and fellow healthcare staff with red marks and bruises on their faces after wearing personal protective equipment (PPE) during long shifts.
21. Managing hot flushes and making friends with PPE
Nursing Standard. 35, 11, 8-10. doi: 10.7748/ns.35.11.8.s6
Published: 04 November 2020
RCN guidance explains workplace changes that can minimise discomfort for staff with menopause symptoms. Donning and doffing plastic aprons, face masks, visors, gowns and gloves in the workplace can be hot and uncomfortable at the best of times – but for a healthcare professional going through the menopause, it can be unbearable.
