President’s Note Dear AQNML Members
Welcome to the final Snapshot for 2017 - what a busy year! This edition is first with the formal inclusion of midwifery “AQNML” and represents another progression of our Association as it nears its’ 70 years of providing a voice for our great professions. This year’s Conference, “Going for Gold” from all reports was another very informative and enjoyable one. The association has established a reputation for providing a diverse range of speakers, being informative and fun. My thanks go to the speakers, the Conference Committee and importantly our Sponsors for their support. As discussed at our Annual General Meeting, next year promises to be very exciting. We are kicking off with a Strategic and Operational Planning Day in December. We will plan a targeted approach to increase membership by enhancing services, local and state-wide activities and representations on different professional advisory groups. My thanks go to the 2017 outgoing Executive and welcome to those who are now with us. We will keep you informed and don’t forget, if you have any suggestions of how to progress our Association, please let us know. Have a safe Christmas and I look forward to an exciting 2018. Take care! Graham Wilkinson - AQNML President Director of Nursing / NGF Manager Sunshine Coast Hospital and Health Service Adjunct Professor, University of Sunshine Coast

AQNL 2017 PRESIDENT’S REPORT It is my privilege to present my first Presidentʼs report of the Association of Queensland Nurse Leaders (AQNL). Firstly, I would like to thank the members of the Executive Committee for their assistance, work and support of the past year. They are: Vice President Wendy Fennah, Secretary/Treasurer Andrea OʼShea and Committee Members – Juliana Buys, Seana Clarke, Jennifer Craig, Desiree Croft, Kerrie Hall, Jackie Hardy (resigned mid term), Leeanne Trenning, Naomi Waker and Nicola Young. I would also like to extend special thanks to Wendy Fennah who assisted me with planning the 2017 Conference. The continued engagement of our Secretariat has assisted the administration of the Association and the Committee meetings, management of events and publication of the Association Snapshot and website. I would like to take this opportunity to recognise Kate & Martin along with their staff for the professional services conducted on our behalf by Cre8it Events. Our Membership has continued to face some pressure with many of our long term members retiring. Our Membership numbers are slightly up for the year 2016/2017. Andrea OʼSheaʼs Treasurer Report will look at membership numbers in more detail however these are the figures as at end 2016/2017 Financial Year and as at 1 October 2017: Membership: End of 2016/2017 Financial Year As at 31/10/2016
Full Members 149 127
Associate Members 10 7
No Association can survive, prosper or evolve without membership. It is your contribution and support that makes us great. We need you to be active in your management. I encourage you to give advice, critique and promote membership in AQNL. I am pleased to announce that AQNL has extended two member benefits that were introduced last year. AQNLʼs Bronze Affiliation with ACN provides members with a discounted Affiliate Member rate to ACN and a 5% discount off all CPD Courses. ACN have also offered all members that registered for the Conference to go into the draw to win either a complimentary ACN membership and/or one complimentary National Nurses Forum Registration. This year the Executive Committee have conducted a Planning Day to formally plan for this yearʼs Conference, review budgets, membership and opportunities. AQNL continued to publish the AQNL Snapshot newsletter this year. We are always looking for stories, innovation and whatʼs working well in all membership workplaces. Please email to

The Committee continually reviews the financial position of the Association with financial position continuing to face increasing financial pressure. The Association will need to find new ways of maintaining membership growth and diversity to remain competitive. Our Nursing and Midwifery workforce remains under pressure to remain focused on our professional practice and need to have a strong voice in all health related fields. The financial position of the Association is detailed in the Auditorʼs report and Annual Financial Statement and within the Treasurerʼs report. The Mentoring Framework has been utilised well this past year, with 222 downloads of the Framework since July 2016. We have those people included in our Association database to keep them updated with AQNL information. It is another opportunity to diversify and extend the reach of our communication and membership strategy. With this in mind, the
Association has worked closely with the Chief Nurse of Queensland and her office to progress a broader state-wide distribution and access points. Last yearʼs Conference was a resounding success as I am sure you will attest this yearʼs will be. Our Social Media environments – Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn are being used more by members and nonmembers since we went live with the platforms. People are using it to jump to the Website looking at membership and conference which is encouraging. AQNL Sponsored / Supported Events 2017: This year has seen minimal AQNL Sponsored Events and is an area that the Executive Committee need to focus on over the next 12 months. The value of local events is immense. We need to continue and grow these events in each area where members work. I want to express the value of being on the AQNL Executive. There is a roles and responsibilities Framework which outlines the expectations of being a member of the Team. It was included with the Nomination Form sent to all members with the Notice of the AGM. We need you to understand the commitment required of these roles. It has been a privilege to serve as the AQNL President. To those outgoing Committee members, I thank you for your support, leadership and time in administering the Committee. I encourage all members to remain committed to the purpose and objectives of AQNL and I believe the future Committee and members are very well positioned to advance AQNL and the voice of nursing leadership. In closing the Association nears 70 years servicing the profession. The inclusion of the profession of Midwifery, soon to be AQNML, is another step in recognition, inclusion and moving forward. In saying that, we face challenges. As an Association, we cannot afford to be passive in our pursuits and I suggest the next year will be one of development and growth. Thank you, Graham Wilkinson President AQNL 2 November 2017 (Original Signed)

AQNL 2017 TREASURER’S REPORT It is with great pleasure that I present my second Treasurerʼs Report for the Association. For 2016/2017 the Association has seen a small reduction in membership numbers. As at 30 June 2017, total number of financial members equalled 159 (4 less than membership for financial year 2015/2016, which was 163). 2016/2017 Membership includes: • • • • •
28 New Member Special 2017/18 79 Full Member renewals 42 New Full members 7 Associate Member renewals 3 New Associate Members
The membership fees resulted in $21,886.15 fees paid. We continue to attract new members; however, the trend of some members not renewing membership, continues. One reason for this is many of our members are either retiring or on their way to retirement and some only joining for the year that they attend the Annual Conference. You have a copy of the Financial Statement. These are our current assets as at 30 June 2017: Cash at bank Operating Account: $18,588.13 NAB Investment Account $25,388.16 Conference Account $14,710.36 Total Cash assets: $58,686.65 Including total current liabilities, the net assets are: $58,686.65 Compared to 2016 our net assets were $59,628.51 This year there is a loss on paper for AQNL of -$2,434.60 This can be attributed to the following: EXPENSES:

The report is heavily influenced by when Conference income and expenses are invoiced and received. You will note that there is some variance between 2016 and 2017 expenses. The figures reported can include Conference income and expenses that span the 2016 and 2017 Conference years. The 2017 Conference / Seminar expenses (2016/17) were approximately $13,800 more than the 2016 (2015/16) year. The other main varying items are Secretariat Fees which reflect an increase in the Secretariat agreement and also some of the 2016 Secretariat Fees were not invoiced until the 2017 financial year. Printing and Stationary expenses are also impacted by Conference printing expense from the 2016 Conference. There has been a general trend over a number of financial years being challenging for the Association, showing losses. AQNL continues to face the challenge of raising revenue with continued pressure on the membership base and increasing expenses. The economic outlook for the 2017/2018 year remains conservative, and ongoing strong fiscal controls need to continue to ensure AQNLʼs ongoing financial viability.
INCOME: Whilst 2017 income was slightly higher than 2016 this was insufficient to cover all the expenses. With the future in mind, the AQNL Committee should consider reviewing all expenses and identify where savings can be made for the 2017/2018 period. This may include reviewing conference activities, for example, increasing conference registration fees or relocating the conference to a cheaper venue. This should be decided in conjunction with expected future income generated from membership. Auditors, Simpson & Winslowʼs report verifies the AQNL financial records are in good standing and have provided the reports for our AGM. I am happy to report that with our financial processes continue to be compliant with all Accounting Standards and are in a sound position for the Association to consider the utilisation of funds towards future development in priority areas as determined by our next Executive. Thank you, Andrea OʼShea Treasurer AQNL 2 November 2017 (Original Signed)

Building Resilience Among the Nursing Workforce in the South West Hospital and Health Service In July of 2016, the South West Hospital and Health Service (SWHHS) partnered with the University of Southern Queensland (USQ) in a research project to explore the resilience of the nursing workforce. The objectives of the project were to enhance the quality of work-life balance of the SWHHS nursing workforce by; • Benchmarking their psychological well-being against national and international nursing cohorts • Investigate the factors that influence workplace resilience • Trialling workplace resilience intervention with a sample of employees. Resilience is defined as the ability to maintain personal and professional well-being in the face of on-going work stress and adversity. The workplace resilience model is a theoretical model to explain the key mechanisms that influence an individual’s overall level of workplace resilience. The project used a two phase approach. Phase One - Analyse and evaluate the psychological well-being of SWHHS nursing staff Phase one of the project was used to analyse and evaluate the psychological well-being of SWHHS nursing staff. This was achieved by surveying 145 of our 349 nursing staff, a response rate of 42%. The following is an example of the areas assessed; • Compassion • Burnout • Secondary Trauma Stress (STS) • Self-distraction • Active coping • Denial • Substance use • Emotional support • Venting • Planning
SUMMER 2017

The results were compared with other relevant nursing cohorts including a survey of Queensland nurses and international nursing cohorts, namely Singapore. The results showed favourable results for SWHHS nurses. SWHHS reported a higher level of core resilience and a higher level of compassion satisfaction. SWHHS nurses scored higher in their adaptive coping strategies such as active coping, emotional support, positive reframing and humour. SWHHS nurses scored below the norm in the use of maladaptive coping strategies including denial, substance abuse and self-blame. SWHHS did however score higher in the Secondary Traumatic Stress (STS) element. Such is the nature of rural/remote nursing, our staff have strong ties to the community and this may account for higher score in both compassion satisfaction and STS. Phase Two - Mindfulness Post phase one of the project, the SWHHS hosted a Mindfulness seminar with guest host Dr. Mark Craigie, Clinical Psychologist, Adjunct Senior Lecturer for Curtin University. 32 registered nurses (22% of the original sample of 145) attended the Mindfulness seminar in Roma. This phase of the research used both quantitative and qualitative data to measure the benefit of mindfulness to the SWHHS staff. Due to the small number of staff followed up, the quantitative data reflected a small portion of the SWHHS nursing cohort. However, qualitative feedback was very positive around the mindfulness interventions.
Importantly for our nurses, the following was also assessed; • Nursing participation in hospital affairs • Nursing foundations for Quality of Care • Nurse manager ability, leadership and support • Staffing and resource adequacy • Collegial nurse-physician relations
Building Resilience Among the Nursing Workforce in the South West Hospital and Health Service ... continued Nurses reported: “It was probably almost a little bit confronting that I probably thought I was coping but that made me realise that I hadn’t been really and I was, I did suffer that fatigue, that compassion fatigue at home as well as at work and I was actually experiencing that.”
• SWHHS nurses reported greater participation in hospital affairs. • SWHHS nurses reported greater quality of care. • SWHHS nurses believe their managers displayed greater ability, leadership and support for nurses. • SWHHS nurses perceive staffing and resources to be of greater adequacy • Day shift workers generally have more positive coping strategies compared with shift workers.
“Stopping that cycle of … default reactions”. “So I can run around like a mad chook with my head cut off and try and satisfy everybody’s needs and become more frustrated and more unhappy, or I can take a few deep breaths, take a couple of minutes, do a little mindfulness exercise and then think okay what’ the biggest priority.”
However, shift workers reported better nurse-physician relationships. The SWHHS will use the information from this research to inform the SWHHS Staff Wellness Strategy and to implement a resilient safety model of care into the SWHHS.
Summary of results: In summary, the outcomes from this project have provided important data around the resilience of our nursing workforce, and interventions that could benefit our staff.
The SWHHS would like to thank our partners the University of Southern Queensland and the nurses and midwives from the SWHHS who participated in the research.
When compared against national and international cohorts it was found;

3. Why did you choose nursing as a career? I initially wanted to do Primary School Teaching however changed my mind at the last minute. My Mum was a nurse and seemed to love helping people. I have never regretted my decision to change to nursing. 4. Why did you join the AQNML? I attended my first conference after being invited by a colleague a few years ago. I came away feeling like it was the best conference I had ever attended. The opportunity to meet other nursing and midwifery leaders from around the state and share experiences, challenges, highs and lows of our positions is immensely beneficial. The learning and immersion in Nursing Leadership from colleagues with many years of experience is invaluable. At the end of the day regardless of title or position we are all balancing work and life pressures and trying to do the best we can for our staff to ultimately benefit the patients accessing our health services.

5. What motivates you to work hard? My personal integrity and commitment to my position. I feel very strongly that I am in a position now to support my nursing and midwifery staff so that they can deliver the best care to patients accessing our health service. I think that our life and professional experiences provide us with wisdom and skills that when shared can make us more resilient and stronger as a team with the shared purpose to provide the best possible care to our patients whilst also looking after each other.
executive committee profile continued 6. What is your favourite thing about your career? Knowing that I have made a positive contribution in someone’s life. 7. What’s the best piece of advice you could give someone? I use this one all the time at work and also with my children (I have 5 and 4 step-children!!)….. `You can not control the behaviours or actions of others but you can control how you choose to react and what you do.’ 8. What is your biggest complaint about your job? Middle management is a tough gig. We are sometimes tasked with delivering tasks or extra paperwork etc. that we know our staff won’t like. I sometimes find it difficult when I can very much relate the clinician’s views on changes but need to follow the direction from above.
Three fun facts: 1. What is your first childhood memory? Playing with my younger brother on ride on toys seemingly flying down our very steep driveway – funny I’ve driven past that house recently and the driveway is merely a mild slope. 2. If you could spend 24 hours with only one person, who would it be and why? My maternal grandmother. She passed away when I was in my early 20s before I became a mother. I think we could have shared so many experiences and stories now that I’m an adult and have had a few ups and downs myself.

3. Do you have a `party trick’ and if so what is it? …..not really I’m far too serious and boring really. Some people find it surprising that I work full time, have 5 kids and can still go to Crossfit 4 days a week. Umm… I love a good small batch Bundy Rum at the end of a hard day. Sorry, not very tricky
