Next up in our Honours Projects feature: Ellie McMahon is an intensive care nurse & has just completed her BNurs(Hons) project exploring nurses’ experiences of providing end-of-life care to Māori patients and their whānau in the intensive care context. [1/7]
Why is this important? ICUs are technocentric environments designed to support patients after life-threatening illness or major surgery. In spite of these efforts, some patients die in ICU requiring culturally-responsive, end-of-life care. [2/7]
Ellie conducted semi-structured interviews with both Māori & non-Māori ICU nurses, asking about their experiences of #EoLC for #Māori in ICU & seeking barriers and facilitators to culturally-responsive care. #NursingResearch #ICUResearch [3/7]
The four main themes developed from her interview data were:
1. Whakawhānaungatanga & partnership
2. Cultural learning opportunities
3. Cultural influence & understanding
4. Systemic facilitators. [4/7]
Ellie’s participants identified facilitators of culturally-responsive #Endoflifecare in the unique ICU setting, including the importance of clear communication, the pivotal role of kaumātua, and the inclusion of whānau as part of the care team. [5/7]
Opportunities for improvement were also identified, including a need for more contextually-relevant cultural support resources & education - particularly for internationally-trained nurses. [6/7]
Ellie’s iwi affiliation is Ngāpuhi and her project was supervised by @CerebralNurse and @TessMoeke Special thanks to the study participants who made this research possible [7/7]

First up in our Bachelor of Nursing (Hons) feature: Ellie Davies. Ellie is a nurse in a private surgical setting & her project examined preoperative education and elective gynaecology patient satisfaction with postoperative pain management #NursingResearch [1/6]
Why is this important? Elective surgical gynaecology patients report high postoperative pain. Preoperative pain education can have a positive impact on patient experience, but there is a lack of evidence specific to gynaecology patient experience in Aotearoa, New Zealand [2/6]
Ellie used a retrospective cross-sectional study design. 165 gynaecology surgical patients completed an online survey. Data were analysed using descriptive statistics and deductive coding analysis of open-ended question responses. [3/6]

We have an incredible team, so we're showcasing our @FmhsNursing people with Five Tweet Staff Introductions. First-up is Lorraine, who is new to the School of Nursing, bringing a wealth of experience & enthusiasm. #5TIntro
1. Where are you from? Whakapapa to Te Rarawa, Ngāpuhi & Ngāti Whātua. My whanau hails from Rangi Point, Mitimiti, Kohukohu, later moving to Auckland. I live in Massey with my partner, six children, my 2yr old mokopuna & the dog.
2. How did you end up in the SoN? I stepped out of my CNS position last year & went casual so that I had flexibility around shifts to spend more time with my mokopuna. It was at this time I was asked if I would be able to assist at @FMHSNursing.
