Developing a patient reported measure on out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure among Aboriginal patients
Healthcare costs not subsidized by the government and are covered by patients, are known as out-of-pocket healthcare expenditure (OOPHE). In Australia, OOPHE disproportionately impacts Aboriginal households, particularly in rural and remote regions. Currently no patient reported measures (PRM) to assess OOPHE exist, despite being an identified priority in Aboriginal communities. This study developed and psychometrically evaluated (validity and te…
Defining psychological capacity for a measure of healthy ageing
Psychological capacity is a key element of intrinsic capacity for healthy ageing; however, it has not been well defined, and no established measure exists. Existing studies predominantly use a deficit framing when measuring psychological capacity, which does not align with the World Health Organization’s intrinsic capacity framework of healthy ageing. The objective of this rapid scoping review was to identify definitions and attributes of positiv…
Prescriptions for Connection —Social Prescribing for Older People in Australia
BACKGROUND: Older people are living longer with unmet social needs that impact their health and wellbeing. Social prescribing programs connect individuals with nonclinical services to address these needs. While international programs have shown benefits for quality of life, health and healthcare utilisation, social prescribing research in Australia is limited. OBJECTIVE: This study aims to design, implement and evaluate a social prescribing progr…
Using Citizen Science to Address Out-of-Pocket Healthcare Expenditure with Aboriginal Communities in the Far West of South Australia
Out-of-pocket health expenditure (OOPHE) significantly impacts people with chronic and complex diseases (CCDs) and injuries. Aboriginal communities experience a higher burden of CCDs and injury, along with greater OOPHE inequities. This project aims to develop and implement a social prescribing digital platform (Web App) to reduce OOPHE. It is grounded in citizen science approaches that value the lived experience and knowledge of Aboriginal peopl…

A survey of 602 adults was conducted in a regional area of Australia. Participants completed measures of social determinants of health, health‐related quality of life, and indicated the social activities, social services, and heal…
Childcare engagement among older adults in Australia and subsequent physical, psychosocial, and behavioral health outcomes
BACKGROUND: While intergenerational caregiving is increasingly prevalent among older individuals, longitudinal evidence on its associations with multidimensional health outcomes remains limited. PURPOSE: This study examined the associations between childcare engagement in older adults and various health and behavioral outcomes at follow-up. METHODS: We analyzed data from a cohort of >12 000 (range: 12 124-12 896) community-dwelling adults aged 70…
Barriers and facilitators to the implementation of the Flinders Chronic Condition Management Program in outpatient drug and alcohol settings in Australia
The process of co‐designing a model of social prescribing
INTRODUCTION: Social needs such as housing, employment, food, income and social isolation are having a significant impact on individuals, families and communities. Individuals are increasingly presenting to health settings with social needs, which are ill-equipped to address nonmedical needs. Social prescribing is a systematic approach connecting the health, social and community sectors to better address social needs and improve health and wellbe…
Exploring the Safewards Programme to Reduce Restrictive Practices in Residential Aged Care
INTRODUCTION: Restrictive practice use in residential aged care homes internationally is unacceptably high. Although policies and legislation mandate the reduction or elimination of restrictive practices, there remains a gap in knowledge regarding strategies that have been effective in achieving a sustained reduction in restraint use. There is an urgent need to identify effective and feasible interventions that aged care staff can implement in ev…
Development and validation of a self-report social determinants of health questionnaire in Australia
Social determinants of health have a significant effect on health and wellbeing. There is increasing recognition of the need for health professionals to measure and address the social determinants affecting the health and wellbeing of their clients, yet efforts to do so are hampered by the lack of a validated, brief self-report measure that covers a range of determinants in a single measure. This study aimed to develop and conduct initial validat…
Employment interventions to assist people who experience borderline personality disorder
BACKGROUND: Employment is an important social determinant of health and is associated with positive health outcomes. However, individuals who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD) are significantly underrepresented in the workforce. Whilst there is an array of evidence based therapeutic interventions, there remains a gap in knowledge regarding the most effective ways to enhance employment outcomes for people with a diagno…
The experience of individuals affected by Australia's international border closure during the Covid-19 pandemic
A pathway through the uncanny
Transition to university is associated with reduced engagement in physical activity (PA), with students' PA influenced by many individual and contextual factors. The experience of the COVID-19 pandemic is one such factor. COVID-19 has disrupted our relationships with our bodies and with others, our sense of time, and the spaces in which we live and work, resulting in reductions in PA. Based on data gathered through a phenomenological photovoice s…

Fragmentation in Australian Commonwealth and South Australian State policy on mental health and older people
Mental health care for older people is a significant and growing issue in Australia and internationally. This article describes how older people's mental health is governed through policy discourse by examining Australian Commonwealth and South Australian State government policy documents, and commentaries from professional groups, advocacy groups and non-governmental organisations. Documents published between 2009 and 2014 were analysed using a …
Older persons mental health in rural Australia
There is significant unmet need for mental health care for older persons in Australia, with those living in rural communities particularly disadvantaged in terms of availability and access to services. Linkages and collaboration between health and social services has been advocated in national policies, though integrated primary mental health care for older people in the Australian context remains problematic
Masculinity and men’s participation in colorectal cancer screening
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a common cancer and an ideal target for early detection and prevention through screening. The Australian National Bowel Cancer Screening Program currently provides free testing to Australians at 5-year age intervals between the ages of 50 and 65. Despite the effectiveness of screening, participation in the program is suboptimal, with men participating at a significantly lower rate than women. Men’s reluctance to use hea…
Ambivalence and Its Influence on Participation in Screening for Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the most prevalent cancers worldwide, and an ideal target for early detection and prevention through cancer screening. Unfortunately, rates of participation in screening are less than adequate. In this article we explore why people who were offered a fecal immunochemical test for CRC decided to participate or not, and for those who did participate, what influenced them to take action and complete the test. We con…
Understanding the emerging relationship between complementary medicine and mainstream health care
The history of the relationship between complementary medicine (CM) and mainstream health care has shifted from the early days of pluralism, through hostility and exclusion, to one of grudging acceptance. How this relationship is ultimately worked out will impact both on the practice of CM and biomedicine, and on the health care choices available to consumers. In this article we review the research and commentary literature on the current and eme…
Inpatient versus outpatient cervical priming for induction of labour
Partnership in practice
Despite the love that exists between children with disabilities and their parents and the positive contribution that children with a disability make to families and communities, caring for a child with a disability can be difficult and demanding for parents, carers and the family. Their interaction with the many and varied health professionals they encounter can serve to either ameliorate or exacerbate these difficulties. In this paper we report …
Becoming accepted
This Australian study sought to understand how practitioners of the traditional systems of what is now termed complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) are responding to the adoption of their traditional medicine therapies by the mainstream health care system, and the practice of these therapies by mainstream health care practitioners. A grounded theory approach was used for this study. In-depth interviews were conducted with 19 participants w…
Communicating Climate Change
Since climate change captured global attention in the 1990s, the private individual, addressed as a member of a concerned public, has occupied a focal position in the discourse of environmental amelioration. Recently, a range of prominent books, films and television programs - for example, Tim Flannery's The Weather Makers (2005), Al Gore's An Inconvenient Truth (2006) and ABC TV's Carbon Cops (2007) - have promoted the role of the individual as …
Governing the contagious body
Genital herpes is a prevalent sexually transmitted viral infection. While genital herpes is not life-threatening, it can cause physical discomfort and psychosocial difficulties, and may increase the risk of contracting HIV. Given that genital herpes cannot be cured, both the condition itself, and the possibility of passing it on to others, becomes a part of the everyday reality of those individuals diagnosed with genital herpes. In this article w…

Children of parent(s) who have a gambling problem
Problem gambling is becoming an increasingly widespread and damaging social and health problem. As opportunities for gambling become more accessible, especially through lotteries and electronic gaming machines, it is likely that more people will develop serious gambling problems. Given the worldwide increasing spending on gambling activities and the increasing number of problem gamblers, it is unfortunate but likely that the children who grow up …
