1.Still Counting: Wellbeing, women’s work and policy-making
Waring, Marilyn
Published 2018; Reprinted 2020
Thirty years ago Marilyn Waring’s groundbreaking book Counting for Nothing was released. Waring explained, through meticulous economic analysis, how the success of the global economy rests on women’s unpaid work. Today, many people hope that the shift to a wellbeing approach - moving beyond narrow economic indicators when assessing New Zealand’s progress - will mean women’s work is finally valued fairly.
2. The Right Girls: A history of the training of Registered Nurses at Palmerston North Hospital School of Nursing 1895-1986
Dr Wendy Maddocks & Nyle Maddocks-Hubbard
Published 2022
Senior Lecturer, Dr Wendy Maddocks from UC’s Faculty of Health, was in the very last hospital based trained nursing class at Palmerston North Hospital, graduating in 1986. As a lockdown project, Wendy started researching the history of the hospital-based training of registered nurses at Palmerston North Hospital.
3. New Zealand Nurses: caring for our people 1880-1950
Wood, Pamela
Published 2022
Author Pamela Wood’s New Zealand Nurses draws on a wealth of nurses’ personal stories to identify the values, traditions, community and folklore of the nursing culture from 1880 – when hospital reforms began to formally introduce ‘modern nursing’ into New Zealand – to 1950, three years after New Zealand severed its final tie as part of the British Empire.

Articles – The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing, June 2022
4. The Future of Workforce Development in Professional Nursing Practice
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2022, June). 53(6), 246-250
The nursing shortage has caused health care systems—as employers—to re-evaluate how to support their nurses better, provide opportunities for nurses to achieve their goals, and address workforce shortages. In the white paper Pathways to Lessen the Nursing Shortage and Increase Equity in the Field for Working Adult Learners, a strategic plan is laid out to address workforce development via partnerships and innovative models.
5. Bringing Back the Love of Practice
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2022, June). 53(6), 251-252
What will stop nurses from leaving the profession and their current positions and cause new graduate nurses to consider practicing in the hospital setting? All health care leaders are struggling with this question. Unfortunately, there is no simple answer. At the heart of the answer is bringing back the love of practice, the love of what we do.
6. Types of Stories to Influence Clinical Nurses
Karren Kowalski
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2022, June). 53(6), 253-255.
Karia (2015) believes storytelling is hard-wired into our brains and is how our brains learn and process information. Memory occurs in pictures rather than words. It is the goal or job of professional development specialists to influence clinical nurses to change their practice based on evidence.
7. A Longitudinal View of Perceptions of Entering Nursing Practice During the COVID-19 Pandemic
Margaret W. Bultas, & Kristine M. L'Ecuyer.
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2022, June). 53(6), 256-263
The COVID-19 pandemic significantly changed the landscape of health care and transition to practice for new graduates. The purpose of this pilot study was to explore the effects of the pandemic on the first-year experience of new nurses.
8. Impact of an Evidence-Based Pediatric Palliative Care Program on Nurses' Self-Efficacy
Taryn J. Hamre., Eileen R. O'Shea., Katherine A. Hinderer., Maua H. Mosha & Beth A. Wentland,
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2022, June). 53(6), 264-272
The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of a 1-day evidence-based pediatric palliative care continuing professional development program on nurses' and advanced practice registered nurses' perceived self-efficacy regarding palliative care.

9. How can I prepare for retirement?
BMJ 2022; 377 doi: https://doi.org/10.1136/bmj.o1528
Doctors are given plenty of advice at the beginning of their careers, but less at the end. Adele Waters gets some helpful tips.
10. The meaning of nursing practice for nurses who are retired yet continue to work in a rural or remote community.
MacLeod, Martha L. P., Zimmer, Lela V., Kosteniuk, Julie G., Penz, Kelly L., Stewart, Norma J. BMC Nursing (2021). 20(1), 1-13.
Although much research has focused on nurses' retirement intentions, little is known about nurses who formally retire yet continue to practice, particularly in rural and remote settings where mobilization of all nurses is needed to assure essential health service. This study explored what nursing practice means for RNs and LPNs who have formally retired but continue to practice in rural and remote communities.
11. Life after retirement.
Tabloski, Patricia A.
American Nurse Today. (2022, Mar). 17(3), 40-43.
If you're one of these nurses considering retirement, you may experience some conflicting emotions. Focusing on financial planning is important, but preparing psychologically and emotionally is just as crucial and ultimately can guide how you use your retirement assets.
12. Social network ties before and after retirement: a cohort study.
Kauppi, M., Virtanen, M., Pentti, J., Aalto, V., Kivimäki, M., Vahtera, J. & Stenholm, S.
European Journal of Ageing. (2021, Dec). 18(4), 503-512.
This study examined how the number of ties in social network changes across the retirement transition. The study population consisted of 2319 participants (84% women, mean age 63.2 years) from the Finnish Retirement and Aging study. Information about social network ties, including the number of ties in the inner, middle and outer circles of the social convoy model, was gathered using annual postal surveys before and after retirement.
13. Employees' Emotional, Cognitive, and Behavioral Responses to Increasing Statutory Retirement Ages.
Oude Mulders, Jaap., Henkens, Kène., & van Dalen, Hendrik P.
BioMed Research International. (2021). 1-10.
Increasing statutory retirement ages around the world are forcing employees to prolong their working lives. We study the different ways in which mid- and late-career workers respond to such changes. We distinguish between negative emotions about working longer, cognitive engagement with prolonged employment, and proactive behavior to facilitate longer working lives.
14. Getting ready for retirement.
Hennessey, Denise
World of Irish Nursing & Midwifery. (2021, Jul/Aug). 29(6), 46-46.
Coaching prior to retirement empowers nurses and midwives to play a more active role in their retirement planning and make and sustain positive lifestyle choices. While coaching is an intervention that is more commonly associated with corporate life, a coaching approach can be applied to retirement planning.
15. Towards an active and happy retirement? Changes in leisure activity and depressive symptoms during the retirement transition.
Henning, Georg., Stenling, Andreas., Bielak, Allison A.M., Bjälkebring, Pär., Gow, Alan J., Kivi, Marie., Muniz-Terrera, Graciela., Johansson, Boo., & Lindwall, Magnus
Aging & Mental Health. (2021, Apr). 25(4), 621-631.
Retirement is a major life transition in the second half of life, and it can be associated with changes in leisure activity engagement. Although theories of retirement adjustment have emphasized the need to find meaningful activities in retirement, little is known about the nature of changes in leisure activity during the retirement transition and their association with mental health.
16. Retirees' perceptions of goal setting: A qualitative study.
Dudley, Dorothy; O'Loughlin, Kate; Lewis, Sophie; Loh, Vanessa
Australasian Journal on Ageing. (2020, Sep). 39(3), e360-e367.
Objective: To investigate the language and meanings that retirees give to goals, including their perceptions of the benefits and limitations of pursuing goals in retirement. Methods: In?depth interviews and mini?group discussions were conducted with 60 community?dwelling Australian retirees aged 57 to 88 years.

21. ‘Breakthrough’ Otago research confirms skin infections as a cause of rheumatic fever
University of Otago - Monday 20 December 2021
University of Otago researchers have made a major breakthrough in further understanding acute rheumatic fever, showing that skin infections are likely to be a significant cause of the disease. Acute rheumatic fever is an important cause of serious heart disease, particularly for M?ori and Pacific children and young people in Aotearoa, New Zealand and for many children and young people in low and middle-income countries.
Research paper, “Preceding group A streptococcus skin and throat infections are individually associated with acute rheumatic fever: evidence from New Zealand” (https://gh.bmj.com/content/6/12/e007038) is published in scientific journal, BMJ Global Health.
