Who Needs Bereavement Support? A Population Based Survey of Bereavement Risk and Support Need
This study identifies and describes the profiles of bereavement risk and support needs of a community sample in Australia and tests the fit of the data with the three-tiered public health model for bereavement support. Family members who were bereaved 6-24 months prior to the survey and who were clients of four funeral providers participated (May-July 2013). A postal survey was used to collect information about bereaved people's experience of car…
Respecting recovery
Purpose – The lived experience of individuals who experience mental illness should be at the heart of recovery-orientated practice and research. The purpose of this paper is to outline key ethical and practical issues that both respect principles of recovery and are fundamental to establishing and maintaining a research relationship with people with severe mental illness (SMI). Design/methodology/approach – Theoretical frameworks of recovery, dis…
The lived experience of everyday activity for individuals with severe mental illness
Engagement in everyday activity is an underplayed area when attempting to understand mental illness. Little is known about the everyday activities of individuals who experience severe mental illness and who are labelled ‘hard to engage’. This article reports on the findings of a longitudinal study. Eleven individuals receiving community mental health services were interviewed over a 12-month period through one-to-one meetings using field notes an…

A population-based retrospective cohort study comparing care for Western Australians with and without Alzheimer's disease in the last year of life
Our study investigated health service use for people in the last year of life, comparing those who died with and without Alzheimer's disease (AD) documented on the death certificate. Using a population-based retrospective cohort design, and utilizing the Western Australian Data Linkage System for the period 2000-2002 (2.5 years), the study found that 992 people died of either AD alone or AD with at least one other condition recorded on the death …
The mismanagement of dying
This paper reports on a recent population-based study of the last months of life of 1071 people in Western Australia who died from a chronic condition. Data was collected from death certificates and telephone interviews of primary carers who acted as proxies providing second hand accounts of the severity of the deceased person’s symptoms and sources of concerns, their awareness and acceptance of dying, and experiences of the health care system.We…

Guest Editorial
The stereotypical fallacy
This study uses a community sample to compare Anglo and Chinese Australians' thoughts about three dimensions of facing terminal illness and death. The results conform to the anecdotal expectation that Anglo Australians are more likely to favour living wills, euthanasia and truth-telling about having a terminal illness than are Chinese Australians. These findings have relevance for health professionals, particularly those who are concerned with pr…
Threats to the good death
This study uses Australian data based on interviews with nurses and participant observation in an in-patient hospice and a community based hospice service to demonstrate how hospice nurses perceive stress in their work environment and cope with caring for dying patients. Stressors are discussed within a cultural context and are viewed as threats to the nurses' shared system of values which centres on the Good Death. The Good Death is conceptualis…
