Data for this paper is drawn from participants in a community dwelling older adult study. The latter involved qualitative in-depth interviews with the participants exploring their well-being. All participants were community dwelling and living in a region in the North Island of New Zealand. Interviews took place betw…
Working bi-culturally within a palliative care research context
It is increasingly recognised that palliative care research needs to pay more attention to culture if the diverse needs of service users are to be appropriately met. However, in most countries research, practice and policy in palliative care remains predicated upon a specific cultural understanding of the ‘good death’, firmly rooted in a Western world view. In this paper we present the formation of a new multi-disciplinary palliative care researc…
But I do believe you've got to accept that that's what life's about’
This paper explores older people's views, experiences and sources of bereavement support following the death of a spouse, family member or other significant individual.

Analysis adhered to the principles of grounded theory and …
Older people with heart failure and general practitioners - temporal reference frameworks and implications for practice
The aim of the study was to identify the time experiences of older patients and general practitioners (GPs). Secondary analysis of qualitative data collected from two longitudinal studies, one in the United Kingdom (UK) and the other in New Zealand (NZ), was carried out. The UK study involved interviews with 44 older people with heart failure and nine focus group discussions with primary health professionals during 2004-2005. The NZ study involve…
It’s not just about heart failure - voices of older people in transition to dependence and death
This paper explores the experiences of older people living with heart failure and their transitions from independence to dependence and for some death. New Zealand's ageing population is predicted to increase from 12% in 2001 to 25% by the year 2051, similar to the worldwide trend of ageing. A high proportion of these people will have one or more chronic illnesses. Associated with the increase in survival is a growing body of research examining t…
Temporal Reference Frameworks and Nurses' Work Organization
Drawing on a qualitative study exploring registered nurses' time management in health care institutions in the United Kingdom, this article reports the findings of the research, as far as they relate to the notion of temporal reference frameworks. The research suggests that temporal reference frameworks function to form background expectancies, which are of major influence in the way in which registered nurses manage their time. Temporal referenc…
