Cultural safety experiences wanted.


I am a PhD candidate at Massey University Massey University (Māori: Te Kunenga ki Purehuroa) is New Zealand's largest university with approximately 40,000 students. It has campuses in Palmerston North (sites at Turitea and Hokowhitu), Wellington (in the suburb of Mt Cook) and , Palmerston North Palmerston North, city (1996 pop. 73,095), S North Island, New Zealand. It is a transportation and farm-marketing center with diverse industries. The city's agricultural college, founded in 1926, became Massey Univ. in 1964. , and am seeking registered nurses (RNs) who would be willing to take part in a study of cultural safety in day-to-day day-to-day

 nursing practice. The research study has been approved by Massey University Human Ethics Committee ethics committee A multidisciplinary hospital body composed of a broad spectrum of personnel–eg, physicians, nurses, social workers, priests, and others, which addresses the moral and ethical issues within the hospital. See DNR, Institutional review board.  and the Central Regional Ethics Committee.

Since 1992, student nurses in New Zealand New Zealand (zē`lənd), island country (2005 est. pop. 4,035,000), 104,454 sq mi (270,534 sq km), in the S Pacific Ocean, over 1,000 mi (1,600 km) SE of Australia. The capital is Wellington; the largest city and leading port is Auckland.  have officially received education in cultural safety. As yet, there is little research available which tells us about RNs' experience of translating this education into nursing practice. The research is a narrative study and explores cultural safety From the perspective of the RN who has undergone a cultural safety programme in a New Zealand nursing education programme.

I am keen to contact RNs from a variety of practice areas who would be willing to tell me about their experiences of providing culturally safe care or not. I am interested in a range of experiences--from those that are positive to those that may not be positive, or which may be complex. It is important that a range of views are heard.

If you are an RN and might be interested in taking part in this important research, I can be contacted for further information at 04 237 3103 ext 3858; f.richardson@whitireia.ac.nz, or Fran Richardson, Postgraduate postgraduate
