▼ ABSTRACT Background: Healthcare organizations require a stable, highly trained and fully engaged nursing staff to provide effective levels of patient care. Nurses have served as advocates for a better, safer, more humanistic health care system, and for public policies that promote the health of the nation throughout the profession’s history. The healthcare system is becoming increasingly complex; the nurse of the future will face a highly challenging healthcare delivery environment. Therefore, the nursing profession elsewhere continues to be concerned with the process of transition of new graduate nurses to into the world of clinical practice. Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the transition of new graduate nurses from education to practice area and the Challenges in transition of New Graduate Nurses to Clinical Work Areas Methods: Institution based cross sectional study design was used on 227 graduate nurses. Simple random sampling technique was used in this study. The data was gathered using self administered questionnaire. The collected data was entered using Epi info version 3.5.4; the entered data was analyzed using SPSS version 21.0 Results: Hundred twenty nine (56.8%) of the respondents reported that they received orientation upon employment. One hundred thirty seven (60.4%) of the respondents were agreed with the concept “staff nurses felt students as part of health care team.” Only seventy eight (34.4%) of the respondents agreed that they received orientation from their university or college upon graduation about challenges that might face them in their clinical work area. one hundred twelve (49.3%) of the respondents agreed that, nurse students received equal opportunity and recognition as other department’s students in clinical practice. One hundred seventy eight (78.4%) of the respondents agreed that they face difficulty to integrate theory into practice first at work, while the overall challenge was 121 (53.3%). VIII Conclusion: Majority (93%) of the respondents acknowledged the educational system that they passed through as very good and/or good. On the contrary, the way practical education was being delivered was not satisfactory; nurse students did not receive equal opportunity and recognition as other department’s students in clinical practice. One hundred seventy eight (78.4%) of the respondents complained that they had faced difficulty to integrate theory into practice first at work. Recommendation: There is a need to establish joint special mentorship program for about 3 to 6 months by FMOH and FMOE to new graduate nurses before their placement into clinical work area so as to enable NGNs to undertake their role effectively in contributing to health care services

▼ Abstract Some Aboriginal nurses have had unique experiences in terms of both formal and informal education. The purpose of this study was to explore the stories of Aboriginal nurses to gain a greater understanding of their personal and professional experiences that have impacted their views of self, of the world around them and of nursing. Hall, Stevens and Meleis (1994) explain that the future of nursing depends on the ability of the discipline to work with diverse people and community. Narrative inquiry (Clandinin & Connelly, 2000) was used to guide this study. I engaged in conversations with three Aboriginal nurses. The stories which emerged from these conversations and the field notes became the field texts for the study. The field texts were analysed within the three dimensional narrative inquiry space of temporality, sociality and place. Reflecting on my experiences and those of some Aboriginal nurses, the resonant threads illuminated some of the human experience of the nurses. The intent was to understand where and how each of us is embedded within, and shaped by, our social, personal, cultural, and institutional stories. This research is represented in a traditional academic format and includes ten chapters. The first chapter introduces topics such as the “other” and uses an autobiographical story to help situate the research and the readers within narrative inquiry. The second chapter, the literature review, highlights elements such as Aboriginal and nursing education, the history of nursing and explores the concept of cultural competence. The third chapter describes the methods used in the narrative inquiry with nurse participants to inquire into and retell their lived and told stories of experience. Chapters four, six, and eight are the findings chapters where the stories are retold by the researcher. In chapters five, seven and nine the stories are analyzed. Chapter ten discusses and explores the common threads of our stories and some of the overarching impacts of the processes and stories of this research.

▼ Background: health care is one of the most dynamic human disciplines, and large amounts of money are spent annually on high-quality and sophisticated research. Nursing staff are the largest health professional group in all sectors of healthcare. The majority of Nurses work in direct care of patients. Today, EBP is essential to the practice of nursing for purposes of promoting optimal patient outcomes through incorporating research findings, the clinicians’ experience, and patient preferences. Historically, nurses have relied on expert’ opinions in clinical decision-making. However, these traditional ways of practicing may not only be outdated but unsafe. Also, experienced-based knowledge may be associated with biased thinking that lead to errors. Objective: Assessment of nurses’ perceptions, level of use and barriers on EBP implementation in clinical practice in TASH. Method: A cross-sectional Study design was used. Two hundred ten nurses were assessed through self-administer questionnaires for quantitative and fifteen nurses were also involved in in-depth interview for qualitative. The quantitative data was coded and interred to epi info version 7 and exported to analysis in Statistical Package for the Social Science (SPSS) version 21 window7. Data analysis include descriptive statistics was be used to describe participants’ demographic characteristics. To determine statistically significant logistic regression was used. The qualitative was analyzed through open code. Results: good perception and positive attitude have 90% and 73.8% respectively. Of the total 210 121(57.6%) of nurses were integrate EBP in their clinical practice. Only 19 (15.7%) use EBP in their clinical practice always. have Knowledge, free time, supportive nursing managers are significant association with implementation of EBP. But, year of experience and perception have no association with implementation of EBP. Conclusion and Recommendation: Both individual (knowledge and skill) and organizational (lack of training, workload, insufficient time and supportive managers) factors are the predominant factors that hinders implementation of EBP. So hospital managements and nursing leaders can easily overcome some of these barriers through arranging EBP training and providing time off from work for nurses to learn and implement new techniques.

These original copies are deposited in the Permanent Restricted Archive. However, because this electronic version contains only the essay and the research project, and not the creative component, it is available through the Open Research Archive. This version of the multi-genre and multi-voiced thesis comprises a reflective essay and a research project that examines the emotional legacies of the First World War for nurses and volunteers who attempted to make meaning of their experiences through the writing of memoirs. The essay situates me as author and researcher. The research project uses a narrative framework, as interpreted within the field of cultural history, to study the significance of physical, emotional and narrative proximity to trauma for the memoirists. A Seven-stage Memoir Analysis Framework offers a visual representation of the findings which emerged in four areas: authorial intention and publishing trends, thematic content and cultural shifts, writing approaches and storytelling devices, and links between relationships and resilience. There were two main writing styles. Memoirists with publication as their main goal, and who released their memoirs during the war, adopted a dramatic, upbeat style that contained victorious tales which emulated the prevailing publishing trends and mirrored the preferences of the reading public. These memoirists ordered events, drew heavily on their imaginative abilities and rarely ruminated on their experiences. In contrast, the memoirists who published during the ‘war book boom’ of the late 20s through to the late 30s, and contributed to ‘literature of crisis’, adopted a more reflective writing approach and wrote of loss and disillusionment, key themes in a cultural shift that took place in post-war society. The primary aim of these memoirists was to honour the work of nursing. Making meaning of experience occurred most successfully in the post-war memoirs. Memoirists used four strategies: ordering events, writing reflectively, forming connections, and drawing on storytelling devices. Memoirists from both groups ordered events and all but one drew on storytelling devices to entice readers into their narratives. However, apart from the aforementioned exception, only the post-war memoirists reflected on their physical, emotional and narrative proximity to trauma and considered the overall impact on their wellbeing. Each memoirist in this group kept her emotions under control in the workplace but in private spaces spoke with friends… Advisors/Committee Members: Manhire, Bill, Wood, Pamela.

▼ The increasing nursing shortage experienced in healthcare institutions alongsidethe communicative issuesrelated to multiculturalnursing teams have placed nurses at the centre of the stage in a growing body of healthcare-related research. In this context, the values, beliefs and conceptualizations which characterize a nurse‘s professional identity play a significant role in organizational life since they guide nurses‘ decisions on the kind of clinical practices they adopt and influence their work performance. However, there islittle empirical evidence on how nurses discursivelyconstruct their professional identity.To date most sociolinguistic research on professional identity in healthcare environments has focused on the power asymmetries characterising doctor-patient, doctor-nurse and nurse-patient discourse, largely disregarding nurse-nurse interaction. Thus, moving away from the traditional approach taken to this area of enquiry, this thesis considershow nurses from an array of ethnic backgrounds construct their professional identity throughdiscursive practices as they interact with other nurses in workplace meetings. The data for this study involve nurses and nurse managers in a ward of a public healthcare institution andata private healthcare institution in New Zealand. The data consist of audio and video recordings of four roster and five handover meetings from the hospital and four clinical and four staff meetings from the clinic, collected by employing Interactional Sociolinguistics as a methodological approach which provides anethnographic lensand afocus on context and culture. To investigate professional identity construction, the analysis takes a theoretical stance which draws on social constructionismand social identity theoryand exploresprofessional identity as it emerges within the boundaries of local interaction and practices. Nurses‘ professional identity formation is consideredin three interactional contexts, namely, voicing and responding to complaints, displaying professional expertise, and negotiating professional values. Findings demonstratethat nurses index multiple group membership alignments as a way to ̳indirectly‘ voice direct complaints and to respond to them in community-appropriate ways as they build in-group solidarity and rapport, and observe interactants‘ face needs.In addition, considerations ofthe use of question-answer adjacency pairs, medical jargon and rationality of case presentation show how expertise construction belongs in a dynamic continuum which is actively transited by nurses as they construct themselves and others as more or less expert on differentaspects of professional practice. Consideringnurses‘ expert claims astemporary, nurses are shown to construct multiple self and other subject positions at the local and wider community levels in order to achieve different interactional goals.This thesis also shows how, when evaluating professional practice, nurses negotiate their professional values at both local and wider community levels by indexing multiple group alignments… Advisors/Committee Members: Holmes, Janet, Marra, Meredith.

▼ Health policy reforms have dominated health systems in African countries for over three decades. However, the impacts of these policies on nurses’ work, as well as the extent to which the nurses are involved in the policy decisions, have not been well documented. As the largest group of health professionals in the workforce, nurses’ services are necessary to achieve population health outcomes. Thus, nurses’ work concerns related to the reform of national policies should be identified and addressed. This study was carried out to examine how the national policy reforms have impacted on nurses’ work in Kenyan district health care systems and how nurses have been involved in policy processes in the health care system. Critical theory and feminist critical policy analysis perspectives guided the study. The study was implemented in two phases. The first phase involved qualitative interviews with 32 decision makers and nurses in the public health care system. The second phase involved a comparative quantitative survey of nurses and nurse managers in two districts. A sample of 169 nurses was interviewed in two district hospitals to generate data for this second phase of the study. This thesis contains three manuscripts. The first manuscript presents a qualitative analysis of the impact of policies on nurses’ work (Chapter 2). The second manuscript presents qualitative results of how nurses were involved in policy processes at various levels of the health care system (Chapter 3). The third manuscript presents results of a quantitative survey of frontline nurses’ experiences with the policy reforms, comparing two districts (Chapter 4). An integrative discussion of key findings from all these manuscripts forms the last chapter of the thesis. The findings revealed that policies meant to enhance access to services like decentralization and primary health care were more enabling to nurses’ work while those aimed at enhancing efficiency like structural adjustment programs were more constraining. The constraints included poor work environments, unchanging work conditions, increased responsibilities and dilemmas in providing care. These constraints were experienced more by nurses in the district that was poorly resourced and had poor health indicators than the district that had better resources and better health indicators. The results suggest that inadequate involvement of nurses in policy processes is a reason why their work concerns have not been addressed. There are recommendations to improve nurses’ work in the context of policy reform and to improve nurses’ abilities to participate in policy processes.

▼ Background and Research Problem: It is well-known that nurses around the world are exposed to various forms of violence at their workplaces. In psychiatric facilities, many of these incidents are perpetrated by patients against nurses. There is a perception that the current legislation and regulations in the country do not adequately protect psychiatric nurses (health care workers in general) against workplace violence. The preliminary literature suggested that most quantitative studies on workplace violence in psychiatric facilities have concentrated on secondary and tertiary psychiatric hospitals looking at the prevalence, the association between demographic factors and violence behaviour, nurses‟ therapeutic responses, and the impacts on the quality of care. Studies on workplace violence in a psychiatric facility for adults with intellectual disability in the country are limited. Secondly, it appeared from the preliminary literature review that similar studies have not looked at this phenomenon from the individual resilience perspective.Therefore, this study will seek to determine the factors associated with the psychological response of nurses‟ victims of inpatient violence in a psychiatric facility for adults with intellectual disability in Cape Town.Aim: To determine factors associated with the psychological response of nurses‟ victims of in-patient violence in a psychiatric facility for adults with intellectual disability in Cape Town.Objectives: To describe the (1) individual resilience of nurses working at a psychiatricfacility for adults with intellectual disability; (2) psychological response of nurses‟ victims of in-patients‟ violence at a psychiatric facility for adults with intellectual disability; and (3) association between the individual resilience characteristics and the psychological responses of nurses victims of in-patients‟ violence in a psychiatric facility for adults with intellectual disability.Methodology: Descriptive-exploratory design using a quantitative approach was used.All categories of nurses (professional nurse, enrolled nurse and enrolled nursing assistance) working at the psychiatric facility for adults with intellectual disability were eligible for the study. Convenient sampling was conducted to select 127 participants who met the inclusion criteria. Self-administered questionnaire was used to collect data. Data was analysed using the SAS V9.3 computer programme. Ethical clearance was obtained from University as well as approval from the management of the psychiatric facility prior to approaching the study participants. Results: The results of the study showed high level of resilience among nurses on Assessment of Resilience Scale (82.9%, n=104); nurses psychological responses to violence were equally distributed between avoidance (mean =4.65 and SD=1.36), intrusion (mean= 4.55 and SD=1.50), hyper arousal (mean=4.46 and SD=1.60) resulting in total mean of 13.67 (SD=4.14) on the revised Impact of Event Scale (IES-R).

A nurse-manager relationship plays a key role in a nurse’s practice environment. A nurse’s trust in one’s manager is the foundation for a supportive nurse-manager relationship and has crucial bearing upon the professional and personal lives of the nurse. However due to health care restructuring, nurses expressed little trust towards their leaders. To develop and implement strategies to help build healthy nurse-manager relationships, research is needed to more fully understand the factors that establish and enhance a nurse’s trust in one’s manager. This study tested a theoretical model that examined potential individual, managerial, relational and environmental attributes that impact a nurse’s degree of managerial trust. Employing a cross-sectional, descriptive design, a self-administered survey was completed by a random sample of 342 Registered Nurses employed in Ontario emergency departments. Structural equation modeling techniques tested and refined the hypothesized model. Final analysis showed adequate fit of data to theoretical model (χ 2 = 78.86, df = 20, SRMR = .02, CFI = .98, RMSEA = .09). In the final model, a manager’s perceived ability, benevolence, integrity and procedural justice had a strong, direct impact on managerial trust. Trust in one’s manager was indirectly influenced by procedural justice and ability as well as a manager’s facilitation of team work, communication accuracy, emotional availability and interaction frequency. Attributes of the individual RN, specifically job tenure and propensity to trust as well as self-determination, access to support and resources and span of control did not affect trust in one’s manager. Study findings suggest that creation and preservation of a nurse’s managerial trust is a complex process affected by manager’s competence and character as well as a fair decision-making process. Education programs that contribute to a manager’s ability, benevolence, integrity and procedural justice may help build and sustain nurses’ trust and healthy nurse-manager relationships.

▼ Abstract of This Evidence Based Project had two aims. The first aim was to investigate the current nursing practices that are based in evidence with regard to subcutaneous insulin administration for adults that are in an inpatient setting with a diagnosis of diabetes. The second aim was to provide an evidence-based educational intervention on injection technique and site selection for subcutaneous insulin administration to nurses that care for patients with diabetes at one hospital in southern California. The research literature has shown that insulin injection technique and site selection affect glycemic control. Insulin, "a high-alert medication" is vital to the care of patient with diabetes, thus proper insulin administration is crucial, and safe strategies must be adopted. Nurses play a significant role in the improvement of the glycemic control in diabetic patients. A 30-item survey questionnaire was developed as part of a needs assessment to evaluate nurses??? knowledge of subcutaneous insulin site selection and technique; this instrument was developed using research evidence in the literature, and consensus and subject matter expert opinion. This survey was sent to 254 nurses working in adult inpatient areas with a diagnosis of diabetes in a 424-bed hospital. The results of the survey demonstrated nurses??? lack of knowledge and of and variability of practice in subcutaneous insulin administration. Evaluation of an educational intervention designed to increase nurses??? of site selection and technique for subcutaneous insulin administration was performed using a 10-item questionnaire, a shortened version of the system-wide 30-item instrument. Small sample (n=10) t-test analysis of the pretest-posttest responses revealed a statistically significant (p<.05) increase in nurses??? knowledge after participating in the educational intervention. Evaluation of the validity and reliability of the 10-item instrument revealed a Cronbach???s alpha of .83 and a test-retest reliability of .80. Insulin injection technique and site selection affect glycemic control in diabetic patients and nurses play a significant role in the improvement of that glycemic control. The results of this pilot project provided evidence in support of the use of an evidence- based practice educational intervention for nurses intended to increase knowledge of site selection and insulin injection technique. The questionnaire developed to measure increase in knowledge was found to have face and content validity and internal consistency and stability. As with all EBP, projects there were implantation challenge, not the least of which was the move to a new hospital location. The final sample for this pilot project was small and ideally, this project will be repeated with larger samples. Plans are currently underway to present the findings of this project to the hospital administration and to repeat the intervention on additional units and even perhaps system-wide.

▼ Background: In criminal law, for the accused not to be criminally responsible due to disease of the mined, a person must be found insane by the courts. The insanity defense excuses or justifies for committing the crime for people who have some form of severe mental illness or disability. The reasoning behind the insanity plea is that mental illness affects the person’s ability to comprehend his/her actions as well as loss of volitional control. For a defendant to successfully plead the insanity defense he/she must not only show the presence of mental illness but also show that there is a connection between the mental illness and the present criminal offense. Lay people believed insanity was raised in 37% of criminal cases, when the actual rate is less than 1%. In addition, even after being provided with the correct statistics, half the people maintained their misconceptions. Criminal laws of many jurisdictions including the Ethiopian law proscribes after a successful insanity defense the mentally ill offender is to be kept in a much restrictive setting even for a much longer period. Method: this qualitative study tried to explore the understanding of insanity defense among nurses working in mental health at Yeka Kotebe Hospital. Data was collected from 13 participants using semi-structured interviews. The interviews were conducted in Amharic and it was transcribed then translated to English. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Result: it was found that most participants have limited knowledge about insanity defense. Some participants knew the about the courts procedure and evaluation process while some had some misconceptions. It was also found that most of the participants had positive attitude towards the insanity defense while there were some who had negative attitude towards the insanity defense. In regards to which mental illness are raised frequently for insanity defense all participants said either bipolar or schizophrenia. Conclusion: there is a gap in the participants’ understanding of the different aspects of the insanity defense as well as their attitude towards the insanity defense Recommendation: there is a need for further researches to be conducted in order to get a better understanding about insanity defense among other mental health professionals, professionals working in the legal system as well as the general public.

▼ The phenomenon of non-suicidal self-injury (NSSI) is an escalating and perplexing behaviour that has been explored in previous literature without definitive results. Self-injury in the absence of expressed suicidal intent is a greatly unexplored area within mental health nursing. Self-injury can be described as the deliberate destruction of the body without the intent to die, and is a distinct field needing to be seen separately from suicide and para-suicide. There is paucity in the literature regarding the attitudes of registered nurses (RN) employed outside of the emergency department, including mental health nurses and enrolled nurses’ (EN) attitudes towards NSSI and this study aimed to fill the gap that exists in the literature. The aim of this study was to investigate nurses’ attitudes, knowledge and beliefs towards individuals who engaged in NSSI. This was a mixed methods exploratory design study using a combination of two well adapted surveys, the Self-Harm Antipathy Scale (SHAS) and the Attitudes Towards Deliberate Self-Harm Questionnaire (ATDSHQ). Nurses who were either RNs or ENs, mental health educated or not, working in in the area of mental health or emergency departments were recruited through a number of the professional nursing organisations. A total of 175 nurses completed the online questionnaire. At the end of the questionnaire participants were invited for a follow up phone interview lasting 45 to 90 minutes. There were 25 nurses interviewed. The audio recordings where transcribed and then the data analysed using thematic analysis. The results from the quantitative data indicated that the attitudes of the nurses to NSSI were generally positive. There was a significant difference noted in the knowledge level between the mental health nurses who had greater knowledge compared to those who were not mental health endorsed. Similarly, the qualitative results supported this difference but at the same time indicating that there was a lack of knowledge generally from this group of nurses to NSSI. The qualitative results also indicated that there was generally a negative attitude of this group of nurses to NSSI. In addition, there was a negative workplace culture to self-injury. There were a number of beliefs identified from the participants including that caring for NSSI was wasting their time and reference to a number of strategies, including specialling and no harm contracts which were not necessarily useful. Much of the literature confers with these results on attitudes and knowledge with this study identifying the differences between the groups of nurses that were previously not identified. These results, however, extend much of what is in the literature on knowledge, attitudes and beliefs of nurses to NSSI. The findings from this study point to the need to increase the education of nurses at all levels in NSSI in order that they have a better understanding and therefore develop a more positive attitude to NSSI. Through this education, the negative culture that strongly exists…

Background: In clinical practice, the responsibilities of frontline registered nurses (RNs) include providing patient care as well as precepting students and new staff nurses. The role has been acknowledged as demanding and challenging in acute healthcare settings and the importance of the preceptor role for the ease of the new nurses’ transition to clinical settings has been discussed in the literature. However, less is known about the nurses’ experiences as preceptors in the pediatric acute clinical setting. The purpose of this research was to explore and describe the experiences of RNs as preceptors when they precept newly hired registered nurses in pediatrics settings. Method: An interpretive descriptive design was used to guide the research process. Semi-structured one-on-one interviews, both in-person and virtual, were carried out with five preceptors who are registered nurses in an Ontario hospital. The real-life experiences of these participants are reported using their rich descriptions of events. Data collection and analysis were conducted concurrently and informed by the Braun and Clark (2006) framework. Results: Findings were grouped under the following three themes: the duality role of pediatric nurses; experiences of preceptor pediatrics nurses; and pediatric nurse preceptors’ needs. Implications: This study demonstrates that the role of the registered nurse as a preceptor is diverse and demanding, and that preceptors need to be supported by various stakeholders to ensure that they can carry out their role effectively. Recommendations are made for future practice, education, and research.

Thesis

Master of Science (MSc)

In clinical practice, registered nurses play not only the bedside healthcare provider role but also, they play the preceptor role. This role can be both difficult and challenging. Therefore, it is important to understand registered nurses’ experiences as preceptors in clinical settings. The goal of this study was to gain an understanding of the registered nurses’ experiences as preceptors for newly hired registered nurses in pediatric healthcare settings. This study showed that preceptors were aware of their dual role, shared experiences of feeling awarded, and discussed challenges they encountered when precepting. Finally, they identified some of their needs that they believed may assist them when being involved in the preceptor-preceptee relationship. It is important to acknowledge the challenges that preceptors encounter when precepting new nurses into the clinical area. Furthermore, it is imperative to prepare nurses for the preceptor role to ensure effective preceptor-preceptee relationships and improve preceptees retention and competence in their role.
