Characteristics of Confidence and Preparedness in Paramedics in Metropolitan, Regional, and Rural Australia to Manage Mental-Health-Related Presentations
Mental-health-related presentations account for a considerable proportion of the paramedic’s workload in prehospital care. This cross-sectional study aimed to examine the perceived confidence and preparedness of paramedics in Australian metropolitan and rural areas to manage mental-health-related presentations. Overall, 1140 paramedics were surveyed. Pearson chi-square and Fisher exact tests were used to compare categorical variables by sex and l…
A Theory on the Components of Depression Self-Management in Older Adults
Depression is the most prevalent mental illness in older adults and is expected to increase with population aging. Health care policy in higher income countries increasingly promotes the self-management of long-term conditions, including depression. Scant research has considered how older adults understand and practice self-management. In this article, we present the findings of a grounded theory study which sought to explain how older community-…
“I was worried if I don’t have a broken leg they might not take it seriously”
BACKGROUND: A large proportion of ambulance callouts are for men with mental health and/or alcohol and other drug (AOD) problems, but little is known about their experiences of care. This study aimed to describe men's experiences of ambulance care for mental health and/or AOD problems, and factors that influence their care. METHODS: Interviews were undertaken with 30 men who used an ambulance service for mental health and/or AOD problems in Austr…
Alcohol consumption in tertiary education students
Our findings are consistent with previous studies of tertiary student populations, and highlight the disconnect between knowledge of relevant guidelines and actual behaviour. There is a clear need for interventions within tertiary education institutions that promote more effective means of coping with psychological distress and improve help-seeking for alcohol problems, particularly among young men
Enhancing a Health-Related Quality-of-Life Model for Laotian Migrant Workers in Thailand
We undertook this action research study to enhance the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) of Laotian migrant workers, and to conceptualize a practical model for workers for use in similar situations. Seventy Laotian migrant workers, 3 researchers, and 18 stakeholders took part in the study. Several data collection methods were utilized, including in-depth interviews, focus groups, participant observations, and field notes. Content analysis wa…
Health-Related Quality of Life of Laotian Migrant Workers in Thailand
The aim of this paper is to explore how migrant workers from the Lao People's Democratic Republic conceptualized their health-related quality of life while they worked and lived in Thailand. Seventy workers took part in the study. Data collected from participant observation and in-depth interviews were examined using content analysis. The findings showed that nearly all the workers perceived health-related quality of life as a state of general we…
Adopting Care Provider–Facilitator Roles
Social capital
There has been considerable debate about the impact of social capital on health, but less is known about the relationship between social capital and the maintenance of wellness in old age. Access to suitable housing is critical for good health at any age, and retirement villages are an increasingly popular accommodation option for healthy older adults. This paper reviews the literature on social capital, health, and wellness, and considers whethe…
Reluctance amongst nurses and doctors to care for and treat patients with HIV/Aids
A survey was carried out, using a questionnaire and semi-structured interviews, to examine why nurses and doctors might be reluctant to care for patients with HIV/AIDS. The findings provided four main themes: perceptions about sexual promiscuity; blaming certain patients with HIV/AIDS; belief in the right to refuse to provide care; and discriminatory care. The paper concludes by acknowledging the limitations of the study and examining the implica…
