‘What has happened to New Zealand women’s economic and social status over the last twenty years?’ In 1994 economist Prue Hyman published Women and Economics, an overview of the status of women in the New Zealand economy.

7. Editorial: Time for action, not words: the urgent rebuilding of New Zealand’s mental health workforce
James A Foulds, Ben Beaglehole & Roger T Mulder
New Zealand Medical Journal (2023, May 26). 136(1576)
There is overwhelming agreement that New Zealand faces a health workforce crisis,1,2 although one might argue that, like our workforce, the word “crisis” is getting worn out from overuse. A lack of transparency about rationing of mental healthcare risks worsening inequities, disproportionally affecting M?ori because of existing systemic biases.4 Rationing will inflict moral injury on clinicians5 and it might also breach human rights.
8. Health professionals’ understanding and attitude towards the End of Life Choice Act 2019: a secondary analysis of Manatū Hauora – Ministry of Health workforce surveys
Aida Dehkhoda, Rosemary Frey, Melissa Carey, Xuepeng Jing, Susan Bull, Frederick Sundram, Nicholas R Hoeh, David Menkes, Jacqualine Robinson & Gary Cheung

Manatū Hauora – Ministry of Health (the Ministry) oversees the implementation of AD services in New Zealand and conducted two workforce surveys prior to the implementation of the Act. In this study, we analysed survey data to determine the socio-demographic factors associated with health professionals’ understanding of the Act, support for and willingness to provide AD.

Journal of Infection Prevention (2023, Mar). 24(2), 55-59. https://doi.org/10.1177/17571774231152724
This research-based commentary set out to identify the historical aspect of intensive care unit design, current problems and some potential solutions with respect to ventilation systems.
10. Aspects and problems associated with the water services to be considered in intensive care units

Journal of Infection Prevention (2023, Mar). 24(2), 60-64.
https://doi.org/10.1177/17571774231152716
Water is a product taken for granted and assumed to be a safe commodity in intensive care units (ICU). Biofilm readily becomes established in complex water services presenting a risk to vulnerable patients. Harboured within biofilms are opportunistic pathogens which can be transmitted via hand contact, splashing, aerosol and indirect contact through medical equipment.
11. Implementing changes to reduce infections in ICU patients. Water services and waste systems
Journal of Infection Prevention (2023, Mar). 24(2), 65-70
Michael Weinbren., Teresa Inkster & Jimmy Walker

12.Supporting and Promoting a Diverse Team
Sylvain Trepanier
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2023). 54(6), 248–249
The importance of diversity, equity, inclusion, and a sense of belonging is finally on everyone's mind. In this column, we stress the importance of cognitive diversity. This article offers concrete actions that will be sure to bring diversity in thinking when leading a team.
13. Integrative Literature Review on Cognitive Science to Reconsider Failure to Rescue in Nursing: A Call to Action
Laura Klenke-Borgmann., Matthew Lineberry & Julie Broski
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2023). 54(6), 253–260
https://doi.org/10.3928/00220124-20230511-05
When current workload demands exceed the cognitive capacity of nurses, tasks that are critical to early detection of clinical deterioration may be omitted. In many high-risk industries that require vigilance over sustained periods, such as the military, the cognitive resource theory of vigilance heavily guides systematic approaches. Yet, in research and policy on nursing failure to rescue, that same application of a cognitive science framework has been overlooked

14. The Urgent Need for Authentic Leadership and Allyship in Health Care
Dallas Ducar
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2023). 54(5), 201–203
https://doi.org/10.3928/00220124-20230405-03
Authentic leadership is a core competency to creating a healing environment where all voices can be seen, heard, and affirmed. There is an unprecedented attack on LGBTQ+ individuals across state legislatures and executive branches, taking aim at identity and going so far as to make gender-affirming care a felony. Nurses are taught to be advocates and the most trusted profession in the United States and therefore are in a vital place to lend their voice, act, advocate, and educate.
15. Compassion Fatigue Education: What Is Available Online for Nurses? A Consumer Website Review
Angela Yee
The Journal of Continuing Education in Nursing (2023). 54(5), 216–224

21. Older brothers and sisters could help build babies' defence against allergies, findings suggest
Rachel Clayton and Melissa Brown
ABC News – 6 June 2023
For more than three decades, researchers have known that children from larger families are less likely to develop allergic disease, but the potential reason for that has remained a mystery. Researchers from Barwon Health, Deakin University and Murdoch Children's Research Institute have used long-term data from the Barwon Infant Study to demonstrate how older siblings speed up the rate at which babies develop their gut microbiome, which protects them from allergic disease.
