Abstract:

This thesis is concerned with the information needs of informal carers, or, as they are now increasingly referred to, carers Within this thesis, the appellation carer is defined in terms chosen by carers themselves. In their words, • A carer is someone whose life is restricted by the need to assist another person to live independently at home. Information is similarly defined by reference to the perspective of the carers, whose information needs form the topic of this research. For the purposes of this thesis, therefore, information is defined as follows • information is all knowledge, ideas,

Abstract:

There is an on-going debate among health professionals, policy-makers and politicians, as to the optimal way of delivering sexual health services to young people. There is as yet, no consensus on their best patterns of organisation or configuration. This study uses qualitative and quantitative research methods, to explore both the views of young people accessing sexual health services, expressed through in-depth interview, and variations in client satisfaction with different characteristics of service delivery, expressed through completion of a questionnaire. The key research questions are: 

Abstract:

The nursing profession is pivotal to the delivery of healthcare services within the UK National Health Service (NHS). However, studies have shown that an increasing number of older nurses are leaving the NHS as a result of the physical and cognitive demands of the nursing job. In particular, a growing body of literature suggests that ward nurses are at risk of sustaining work-related injuries due to the demands of their job. Responding to these challenges, the aim of this PhD research project was to develop a framework to support NHS ward nurses in the ward environment, by exploring how the ar

This thesis is a story of how I came to construct and illuminate a reflexive narrative as a journey of self-inquiry and transformation towards personal realisation. It shares a view of reflection as lived in being and becoming a reflective nurse educator in higher education. My narrative draws upon, autoethnography, critical social theory and hermeneutic perspectives. Johns (2010) six dialogical movements have been used to give structure to my narrative. Nineteen reflections generate the reflexive narrative in a hermeneutic spiral, as each text informs the other along the journey. Insights bec

Abstract:

Poor workplace relations are an issue of concern in many workplaces and this phenomenon is not restricted to the nursing profession. The issue of workplace violence in nursing is well documented and there are an increasing number of studies which have investigated the notion of horizontal violence amongst graduate nurses. The impact that poor workplace relations has on the development of a professional identity by nursing students in the off-campus clinical setting is significant in light of the current global shortage of nurses.

Nursing, like many other professions, is impacted negatively by the problem of adversity.

Abstract:

<p>A focus group study was conducted to provide a base of knowledge related to the facilitators and inhibitors of appropriately trained nurses carrying the pager that notifies of the need for a medical emergency team (MET) response. The study site was in regional Queensland and seventeen Registered Nurses participated in the study. The concepts found in data progressively contributed to the development of four major themes: motivators to do the training, applying theory to practice, the MET experience and prioritising the pager. The data uncovered some information that has not previously been

Abstract:

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore nurse leaders’ perceptions of registered nurse professionalism; expand knowledge related to registered nurse professionalism, and to identify the essential attributes of registered nurse professionalism. Background: Despite the general consensus by members of the public and the healthcare professions that professionalism is essential, a clear understanding of what constitutes professionalism is lacking. Most research studies aim to measure professionalism, with a paucity of research providing clear guidance on how to demonstrate the professional behavi

Specialist Breast Care Nurses (SBCNs) provide essential support and treatment for women experiencing breast cancer and their families (Cruickshank, Kennedy, Lockhart, Dosser & Dallas, 2008; Liebert, Parle, White & Rodger, 2001; Rogers-Clark, 2002; Yates et al., 2007). The broad role of the SBCN is to coordinate care and provide ongoing psychological support to women with breast cancer and their families during diagnosis, treatment rehabilitation, follow-up and palliative care (Yates et al., 2007). This study addressed the gap in practice and research around support for SBCNs working in regiona

Abstract:

Certain health risk behaviours are modifiable by the individual, such as diet, smoking, physical activity and alcohol consumption. This study aimed to investigate the prevalence of Registered Nurses’ (RNs) own health risk behaviours and whether these influenced the provision of regular health education to patients. This two phase study used a sequential, mixed methods design. Phase one, involved an online survey distributed to registered nurses in a coastal regional town in Australia. Findings from phase one informed the eight semi-structured interviews obtained in phase two. When compared to

Abstract:

This study aimed to delineate the roles and responsibilities of Registered Nurses (RNs) working in rural and remote areas of Australia and to explore the clinical and educational preparation required to fulfil such roles and responsibilities. Whilst much research exists surrounding rural and remote nursing, few studies have looked in depth at the roles and responsibilities and necessary preparation for rural and remote nursing. Indeed, much of the literature encompasses rural and remote nurse data within the wider metropolitan workforce. There is limited research which clearly defines the rur

Abstract:

"Destabilisation of the nursing workforce due to poor retention creates inconsistencies and disruptions to the delivery of health care services. It can also have a negative impact on patient care and safety. If registered nurses remain in their jobs then hospitals and the health care system will realise significant savings in costs associated with replacing registered nurses. The impact of the nursing shortage is that health care facilities will continue to have difficulty replacing registered nurses once they have left. Focusing on nurse retention rather than on recruitment, may be a useful s

Abstract:

<p>Nursing is one of the most important professions in the United States but it has historically endured high levels of shortage and turnover (Apker, Propp, & Ford, 2009; Fox & Abrahamson, 2009). A nurse’s organizational climate and culture have been shown to impact a number of job outcomes including intention to leave the organization (Aiken & Patrician, 2000), and therefore is of interest to both scholars and practitioners alike. One way to understand the context in which nurses work is through organizational identification because people make sense of their own identities in part through th

Abstract:

Puppets are used as a medium for learning and teaching, a way to communicate with children and for the purpose of play. Whilst the use of puppets with children in health care is well documented, especially with regards to play therapists and psychologists, little is understood about how nurses use puppets in their practice. Nurses are primarily the ones who engage and deliver clinical and medical care to the sick child in the hospital environment. Hence, effective communication strategies such as puppets could have a positive impact for the child. Understanding the experiences of nurses using

Abstract:

When a pregnancy-capable person is assaulted, abused, or killed, it is usually at the hands of a male partner or family member. Fatal and non-fatal injuries, chronic health conditions and risky behaviours are all outcomes of gender-based violence (GBV); furthermore, GBV can often lead to unplanned pregnancies. Abortion is, therefore, a predictable outcome for this population. Nurses and midwives are intrinsically involved in the care of pregnant people victimised by GBV. They could be instrumental in providing reproductive justice outcomes such as early intervention, support, and coordination

Neglecting the resistance exercise component of the physical activity guidelines is prominent in women. During 2017-2018 only 22% of women met these requirements (AIHW, 2019). The aim of this study
