    Abstract Aim: District Nurses apply specialized nursing knowledge and assessment skills to provide care in New Zealand communities. This study aimed to identify whether District Nurse's (both Registered and supervised Enrolled Nurse's) had knowledge of, and used the 15-Minute Interview tool, including Ecomaps/Genograms, and if not, what they saw as enablers or barriers to doing so.
    Design: Participatory action research was used, following the phases of look, think and act.
    Methods: Two pre-intervention focus groups occurred, two education sessions which introduced the 15-Minute Interview and four postintervention interviews which explored the use of the tools and their potential use in the future.
    Results: District Nurses demonstrated working with families, and the selection of when and where to apply the 15-Minute Interview.

    Abstract A 41-year-old man developed rapidly progressive cranial neuropathies and muscle weakness followed by respiratory failure, requiring ventilation support. On examination, there was marked bilateral ptosis and ophthalmoplegia with bulbar, neck and proximal upper limb weakness. He had a recent open left humeral fracture that eventually required amputation. Despite immunoglobulin therapy, his progressive weakness continued. Multiple investigation results were inconclusive. Eventually, botulinum type A toxin was found positive, by which time the therapeutic window for antitoxin had passed. He continued on supportive management and was treated for concomitant infections and nosocomial illnesses. He was subsequently weaned from respiratory support and has made a good neurological recovery.

    Abstract Cultural safety is an essential concept within New Zealand nursing that is formally linked to registration and competency-based practice certification. Despite its centrality to New Zealand nursing philosophies and the stated expectation of cultural safety as a practice element, there is limited evidence of its application in the literature. This research presents insight into public health nurse's (PHN) experiences, demonstrating the integration of cultural safety principles into practice. These findings emerged following secondary analysis of data from a collaborative, educative research project where PHNs explored the use of family assessment tools. In particular, the 15-minute interview tool was introduced and used by the PHNs when working with families. Critical analysis of transcribed data from PHN interviews, utilising a cultural safety lens, illuminated practical ways in which cultural safety concepts infused PHN practice with families. The themes that emerged reflected the interweaving of the principles of cultural safety with the application of the five components of the 15-minute interview. This highlights elements of PHN work with individuals and families not previously acknowledged. Examples of culturally safe nursing practice resonated throughout the PHN conversations as they grappled with the increasing complexity of working with a diverse range of families.

    Abstract Headache with neurological deficit and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) lymphocytosis (HaNDL) syndrome is an important diagnosis to consider in patients presenting with the relevant features to acute medicine. Investigations should aim to exclude more serious differential diagnoses such as infectious, inflammatory and neoplastic causes prior to making a formal diagnosis of HaNDL. Increased awareness and early consideration of HaNDL would help to avoid unnecessary prolonged courses of antimicrobial therapy and invasive investigations such as cerebral angiography.

    Abstract Objectives: This pilot project aimed to examine the acceptability and feasibility of a group storytelling intervention to support self-management among adults living with type 2 diabetes.
    Methods: Two waves of a single-arm storytelling intervention, consisting of 8 sessions at a community health centre, were delivered to 8 adults with type 2 diabetes. Diabetes educators facilitated each session, in which patients shared stories about diabetes-self-management topics of their choice. Focus groups with both patients and facilitators explored the feasibility and acceptability of the sessions. External raters assessed the fidelity of the intervention's implementation.
    Results: Overarching themes describe the acceptability and feasibility of the intervention: 1) the facilitation of patient self-direction, group cohesion, collective learning and support; 2) roles of facilitator educator, and peer learner; 3) the intervention's customization to patients' preferences. The sessions were delivered with high fidelity (averaging 84.4%).
    Conclusions: Informal group storytelling enables patients to discuss, understand and give personal meaning to the information that was exchanged, and facilitates educators' better understanding of patients' concerns and gaps in knowledge and how-to strategies that can inform their practice. The group storytelling intervention is acceptable to patients and educators and can be delivered with high fidelity. Further research into effective patient recruitment methods and evaluation of the intervention's impact on diabetes self-management is required.

    Abstract Introduction: There is a need for educated primary health nurses to develop their practice, educational and career pathways in response to opportunities emerging from the Primary Health Care Strategy (PHCS). This study aimed to explore the opportunities and constraints encountered by practice nurses when participating in post-registration education.
    Methods: This study used exploratory qualitative design, incorporating focus group interviews with 16 practice nurses employed by Pegasus Health, Christchurch. Qualitative thematic analysis used a general inductive approach.
    Findings: Seven key themes emerged, including motivation to learn, enablers for learning and challenges to accessing education. Practice nurses also described their changing roles with clients and their vision for practice nursing in the future.
    Conclusion: This study considered accessibility of post-registration education for practice nurses and the extent to which they are embracing these opportunities in order to meet their practice needs. The PHCS states that primary health care nursing is crucial to its implementation. Successful expansion of primary health care nursing roles rests on the development of educational qualifications and skills, as well as career frameworks. It is envisaged that, with strong leadership and research skills resulting from professional development, practice nurses will be more able to reduce health inequalities. Study findings indicate that practice nurses are rising to the challenge of expanding their roles and engaging in post-registration education. They are more likely to pursue this if constraints are minimised and support increased. Currently practice nurses make significant contributions to primary health care and have the potential for an even greater contribution in the future.

    Abstract Behavioural variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) is characterised by behaviour change and impaired executive skills. There is growing evidence that naming difficulties may also be present but the basis for these is unclear. A primary semantic deficit has been proposed, although executive contributions to naming breakdown are also possible. The study aimed to improve understanding of the naming disorder in bvFTD through direct comparison with semantic dementia (SD), and examination of neural correlates. It aimed also to address current controversies about the role of the anterior temporal lobes in semantic memory. We studied 71 bvFTD and 32 SD patients. Naming data were elicited by two picture naming tests (one challenging and one less demanding) and word comprehension by word-picture matching. Structural magnetic resonance images were rated blind using a standardised visual rating scale. Around half of bvFTD patients showed impaired naming and 17% impaired word-picture matching. Deficits in bvFTD were less severe than in SD, but showed a similar pattern. There were strong inverse correlations between naming scores and atrophy in temporal structures, particularly temporal pole and fusiform gyrus. Word comprehension scores correlated more strongly with posterior than anterior temporal lobe atrophy in SD. Error analysis highlighted a significant relationship in both groups between associative-type responses and temporal pole atrophy. By contrast, 'don't know' responses, suggesting a loss of conceptual knowledge, correlated with more posterior temporal regions. There was some correlation in bvFTD between naming and executive test performance but not with frontal lobe atrophy. The findings support the view that naming problems can arise in bvFTD independently of patients' 'frontal' executive impairment and highlight clinical overlap between bvFTD and SD. We discuss the findings in relation to the hub and spoke model of semantic memory and argue against the notion of an anterior temporal lobe semantic hub.
