HAPPELL RN BA (HONS) DipEd PhD Recent Australian Government policy reflects the integral nature of active consumer participation to the planning and delivery of mental health services. The effectiveness of consumer participation in improving mental health services has received some attention in the literature. Commonwealth Government funding enabled the development of a partnership between the Centre for Psychiatric Nursing Research and Practice and the Melbourne Consumer Consultants' Group. The successful application enabled the employment of a mental health consumer as an academic staff member of the Centre for Psychiatric Nursing Research and Practice. One important aspect of this role involved the mental health consumer teaching a consumer perspective to postgraduate psychiatric nursing students. The primary aim was to increase the students' awareness of and sensitivity to greater consumer participation within the mental health arena. This paper presents the results of an evaluation of the consumer academic role in teaching within the Postgraduate Diploma in Advanced Clinical Nursing (Psychiatric Nursing). An evaluation form was distributed to students (n = 21) on completion of the semester. The findings suggest the experience was considered beneficial to students and was impacting significantly on their current practice. This project supports the value of consumer participation in the education of mental health professionals. [source] Narrative Research: A Viable Methodology for Clinical NursingNURSING FORUM, Issue 1 2004Janine A.

PURPOSE To familiarize nurses with the concept of narrative research, review pertinent narrative research literature, and identify some ways this methodology can be integrated into clinical nursing. SOURCES A review of published literature from psychology, sociology, anthropology, and nursing, with citations from women with breast cancer. CONCLUSIONS Narrative research can make a valid contribution to nursing science in language familiar to nurses and other healthcare professionals. [source] Bertha Harmer's 1922 textbook , The Principles and Practice of Nursing: clinical nursing from an historical perspectiveJOURNAL OF CLINICAL NURSING, Issue 19 2009Geertje Boschma Aims and objectives., This study analyses the origins of a widely used textbook of nursing, commonly utilised in North American Schools of Nursing since 1922, and eventually worldwide. A biography of its first author, Bertha Harmer, is also included. Background., Tracing central ideas of nursing throughout the various editions, the book provides a commentary on the cultural,historical context of nursing and reveals how nursing leaders conceptualised the day-to-day knowledge base nurses would need for their practice. Design and methods., Historical analysis. Results., The core nursing concept of ,human needs' was central to Harmer's work and thinking. Conclusions., Its continuous development by her and her later co-author, Virginia Henderson, reflected broader changes in nursing that were central to the construction of nursing as hospital-based care during the twentieth century. Relevance to clinical practice and conclusion., Renewal of nursing practice exists by the virtue of nurses' collective ability to question continuously and critically, the foundations of their practice. Historical analysis of core nursing concepts is one approach to further such critique. [source] ,The real stuff': implications for nursing of assessing and measuring a terminally ill person's quality of lifeJOURNAL OF CLINICAL NURSING, Issue 6 2001BN(Ed), Merilyn Annells Dip AppSc ,,Two quality of life (QoL) assessment and measurement tools, the Client Generated Index (CGI) and the McGill Quality of Life (MQOL) questionnaires, were trialled within district nursing palliative care to test usefulness and feasibility for holistic intervention selection, individualized palliative care planning, and measurement of the quality of dying. ,,The specific focus of this paper is to discuss the less tangible outcomes of the trial, which illuminate the partly ,hidden' value and nature of clinical nursing. ,,These outcomes include awareness that the use of such tools may: by actual administration of the tool be, in and of itself, a therapeutic nursing action; focus on ,the real stuff' from the client's perspective, that which matters most to the terminally ill client, but may not be classically considered as prompting nursing intervention; and facilitate ,the real stuff' of nursing, perhaps known but not usually articulated by nurses, and which usually does not feature on care plans nor in time allocation schedules. [source] Defining characteristics of expertise in Japanese clinical nursing using the Delphi techniqueNURSING & HEALTH SCIENCES, Issue 1 2003Yoshiko Nojima RN Abstract A four-round Delphi technique was conducted on 127 experienced Japanese nurses to develop a consensus of opinion on the defining characteristics underlying expertise, and the prime requirements for the development of expertise in clinical nursing. Sixteen statements identified as the prime defining characteristics underlying expertise indicated that experienced Japanese nurses' picture of expertise is general, comprehensive and focused on task expertise. Four prime requirements for the development of expertise identified indicated that neither experience nor accumulation of theoretical knowledge alone is sufficient to develop expertise; but that motivation and attitude do play an essential role in the development of expertise.

[source] Labelled encounters and experiences: ways of seeing, thinking about and responding to uniquenessNURSING PHILOSOPHY, Issue 2 2001Anne J. Davis RN PhD DSc (hon) FAAN Abstract The main ideas explored here include conceptualizing the patient, the idea of the unique patient and the use of theory, individual uniqueness and stereotype, and uniqueness embedded within routine. These ideas give direction to this paper and serve to raise ethical and epistemological questions about clinical nursing and nursing education. [source] Research an exciting journey and a career statement: a means to an end, putting rurality on the nursing research agendaAUSTRALIAN JOURNAL OF RURAL HEALTH, Issue 6 2004Sonia Allen Abstract Two issues were of importance to nurses in rural areas considering postgraduate studies. The first was the need for part-time study and what this entails. The second was a request that there be no research component within the postgraduate courses they identified. It is this second issue that I wish to address. I was a nonbeliever in the merit of research studies being integrated into nursing specialist programs. Following a long career in rural clinical nursing and management I have come full circle and now acknowledge the need to understand the role to base practice evidence that is generated through empirical research.
