Since the transfer in Australia of preparatory nurse education from the hospital to the university sector, debate and discussion have continued regarding the perceived benefits and failings of the current system. In this paper we consider issues related to student clinical practicum from the perspectives of the student learner, the educational provider, the health service sector, the health consum...<br/><br/>Judy Mannix, Lesley Wilkes, Lauretta Luck (2009) <i>Contemp Nurse</i> <i></i> <i></i> 32: 1-2 59-68<br/>

AIM: This paper is a report of a study of the health and ageing concerns and self-care strategies of older female Registered Nurses currently working in direct care-giving roles in acute public hospitals and community facilities. BACKGROUND: Nursing is a rapidly ageing, and female-dominated workforce. However, despite the ageing of the nursing workforce, little is known about the needs and health ...<br/><br/>Sarah Gabrielle, Debra Jackson, Judy Mannix (2008) <i>J Adv Nurs</i> <i></i> <i></i> 61: 3 316-325<br/>

The Australian nursing workforce is ageing and there is a well-documented shortage of nurses. This global phenomenon means that retaining nurses in the workforce is gaining in importance as older nurses retire and leave nursing. The existing literature reveals deficiencies in knowledge about older nurses as they adapt to ageing often within stressful work environments. The aim of this narrative-ba...<br/><br/>Sarah Gabrielle, Debra Jackson, Judy Mannix (2008) <i>Collegian</i> <i></i> <i></i> 15: 3 85-91<br/>

There is vigorous research and debate into family violence. However, there is a paucity of enquiry into violence directed from child-to-mother. This paper presents preliminary results from the pilot of a larger study that examines child-to-mother violence in the western suburbs of Sydney Australia. The data are from questionnaires distributed to women who are or have been mothers of children aged ...<br/><br/>Michel Stewart, Lesley M Wilkes, Debra Jackson, Judy Mannix (2006) <i>Contemp Nurse</i> <i></i> <i></i> 21: 2 297-310<br/>

This paper grew from a series of conversations about the challenges associated with clinical education for undergraduate nurses. In it we consider clinical education for undergraduate nurses within the current context of increasing resource and industry constraints. Beginning level clinical competence is the major aim of undergraduate nurse education, and therefore clinical education is central to...<br/><br/>Judy Mannix, Pat Faga, Barbara Beale, Debra Jackson (2006) <i>Nurse Educ Pract</i> <i></i> <i></i> 6: 1 3-11<br/>

BACKGROUND: Childhood obesity is a growing health concern and the literature implicates parents, particularly mothers. AIM: To develop understandings into the views of a group of mothers with an overweight or obese child, about their child's overweight or obesity.

AIM: This paper reports a study exploring the strategies a group of mothers of overweight and obese children were using and planned to use in the future to assist their children to achieve a healthy weight. BACKGROUND: Over the past two decades, the prevalence of childhood obesity has grown exponentially to become a major public health concern.

Rapid social changes and the pressures of contemporary living have put families under increasing stress. Nurses have the potential to offer support for families experiencing stress. Therefore, it behoves nurses to develop a greater understanding of the stressors affecting families in contemporary Australia.

Child-to-mother violence is a common aspect of family violence, and presents nurses and health workers with continuing challenges. Though noted in the literature as early as the 1950's, this phenomenon remains poorly understood. A number of reasons for the lack of research scrutiny are proposed, the most compelling being that child-to-mother violence has been framed within the discourse of juvenil...<br/><br/>Michel Stewart, Debra Jackson, Judy Mannix, Lesley Wilkes, Karin Lines (2004) <i>Contemp Nurse</i> <i></i> <i></i> 18: 1-2 199-210<br/>

Mother blaming has been identified as a pervasive and serious problem and it is known that the professional literature has strong and entrenched mother-blaming messages. Using a feminist approach, this paper explores mother blaming as it has been experienced by a group of mothers themselves. Analysis of narrative exposes mother blaming as a burden that complicates the already-complex responsibilit...<br/><br/>Debra Jackson, Judy Mannix (2004) <i>Int J Nurs Pract</i> <i></i> <i></i> 10: 4 150-158<br/>

Adolescent drug use provides challenges for parents, health professionals and the wider community. Of those adolescents who use drugs, cannabis is often the drug of choice. A number of adolescents will develop problems associated with cannabis use, and the burden of managing these problems will fall on the family, particularly the mother.

In a climate of a declining nursing workforce where violence and hostility is a part of the day-to-day lives of most nurses, it is timely to name violence as a major factor in the recruitment and retention of registered nurses in the health system. Workplace violence takes many forms such as aggression, harassment, bullying, intimidation and assault. Violent acts are perpetrated against nurses fro...<br/><br/>D Jackson, J Clare, J Mannix (2002) <i>J Nurs Manag</i> <i></i> <i></i> 10: 1 13-20<br/>

This paper reports the findings of a study which sought to gain insights about the role of clinical nursing staff in the planned clinical experience of undergraduate nursing students. This study differs from others in that the perspectives of students of nursing in their first year of the undergraduate programme are sought, and the role of clinical nurses rather than clinical teachers is of partic...<br/><br/>D Jackson, J Mannix (2001) <i>J Clin Nurs</i> <i></i> <i></i> 10: 2 270-277<br/>

Nursing is facing a crisis nationally and internationall, with Australia, the United States, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom and Western Europe experiencing critical shortages of nurses. Problems with recruitment, retention and an ageing workforce means that attempts to ensure a viable nursing workforce must be placed at the top of the professional agenda.

A diagnosis of ovarian cancer is a crisis for any woman. Ovarian cancer has the highest mortality of all the gynaecological cancers. In addition to the very real threat of death, such a diagnosis raises critical issues concerning femininity, motherhood and sexuality. The high mortality associated with this disease is due (in part) to problems associated with early diagnosis. Women frequently exper...<br/><br/>J Mannix, D Jackson, M Raftos (1999) <i>Int J Nurs Pract</i> <i></i> <i></i> 5: 1 47-50<br/>

Information and messages concerning health-related issues are not confined to material provided by official figures or sources. Much information exists in the community and comes from a variety of sources. One such source is the media.

Holism is claimed to be the signifying feature that sets women's health apart from traditional approaches to health care. As such, articles published in the nursing literature about women's health would, one might expect, reflect the centrality of holism to women's health care nursing. The findings of a study which examined the content and the focus of articles published about women's health in jo...<br/><br/>M Raftos, J Mannix, D Jackson (1997) <i>J Adv Nurs</i> <i></i> <i></i> 26: 6 1142-1149<br/>

Over the past three years, Australian nurses have witnessed a proliferation of locally published refereed nursing journals.
