Common Factors That Enhance the Quality of Life for Women Living in Their Own Homes or in Aged Care Facilities
A qualitative study of older women living in their own homes and older women living in aged care facilities found that the concerns of the women living in their own homes were the realities of life for the residents in the aged care facilities. Twenty-five female residents across two facilities and 11 older women living in their own homes were interviewed. The positive outcomes of aging at home are relevant and desirable for residents of aged car…
The benefits of using a mixed methods approach – quantitative with qualitative – to identify client satisfaction and unmet needs in an HIV healthcare centre
Research into patient satisfaction with HIV ambulatory healthcare facilities is limited due to confidentiality restraints, the short history of the condition and the stigma attached. Furthermore, most satisfaction studies of this client group have not used mixed methods (quantitative with qualitative) despite its increasing use since the 1990s in healthcare research. This cross-sectional study demonstrates how a mixed methods approach is benefici…
Young people's concerns about sex
This paper describes a novel qualitative study that identified the concerns of young people about sex through a talk‐back segment from 2002 to 2004 on an Australian national radio popular music programme targeting 15–24 year olds. Two hundred and thirty‐one unsolicited callers (150 female and 81 male) went to air over the study period, and 212 (92%) of these asked questions relating to sexuality and sexual health. Content analysis was used to cat…

The Hopes and Fears of Older Australians
This study refutes negative ageist stereotypes of how older people view themselves and society by reporting on their freely expressed main hope and main fear for the future. Data were collected through a population based cross‐sectional telephone interview survey conducted in NSW in 1999/2000. Participants (n=8,881) were randomly selected community dwelling older Australians (65+). Analyses revealed that participants were more likely to express a…
Does gradual retirement have better outcomes than abrupt retirement? Results from an Australian panel study
Conventional wisdom promotes gradual retirement rather than an abrupt end to the working life. This paper compares the outcomes of abrupt and gradual retirement one and three years after the transition to retirement began using data from an Australian panel study. The outcomes included changes in health, positive and negative affect, wellbeing and marital cohesion. For many outcomes there was no difference between gradual and abrupt retirements, …
Food insecurity in community-dwelling older Australians
Objective To identify the extent of food insecurity (defined as running out of food in the last 12 months and being unable to afford to buy more) amongst older Australians, and the characteristics of those who experience this condition. Design Cross-sectional population survey. Setting and subjects Respondents ( n = 8881) were community-dwelling older people (65 years and older) living independently in New South Wales, Australia, randomly sampled…
Fear of loss of independence and nursing home admission in older Australians
A prerequisite for the success of any health or social care policy is the ability to address the concerns of the target group. The findings described in the present paper form part of a larger study of the hopes and fears that older people hold for their future. Data were collected through a cross-sectional, population-based telephone interview survey conducted in New South Wales, Australia, from 1999 to 2000. The participants (n = 8881) were ran…
Health promotion for socially disadvantaged groups
There is extensive evidence that health promotion routinely benefits those who are already most socioeconomically advantaged. While the government's healthy ageing policy recognizes that improving health outcomes will require a range of strategies involving different target groups, recommendations focus on the issues and needs of the comfortable majority. This paper examines the scope and relevance of health promotion for one disadvantaged minori…

Participation in treatment decision‐making by women with early stage breast cancer
Objective This study aimed to assess the way women treated for early stage breast cancer perceived the treatment selection process. The purpose was to understand more fully patients’ experiences of the decision process and their preferences for participation in treatment decisions. Setting and participants The study informants were 40 women, treated at a teaching hospital in Sydney Australia, who were interviewed face to face 1 year after their f…

A case-control study of employment status and mortality in a cohort of Australian youth
Australian trends in mortality by socioeconomic status using NSW small area data, 1970–89
This ecological study examines trends in socioeconomic differentials in mortality in New South Wales, Australia, over a 20-year period (1970–89). The proportion unskilled was used as the indicator of socioeconomic status and its selection justified. Using census data aggregated by Local Government Area, the relationship between mortality and socioeconomic status was examined using quintiles based on the proportion unskilled in the population. Loc…
The Use of Focus Groups with the Disabled Elderly
The study objective was to examine the feasibility of using focus groups as a research method with physically disabled elderly (75+ years) people. Participants were cognitively intact, female patients in the geriatric rehabilitation ward of a general hospital in Sydney, Australia. The researchers acted as moderator and scribe. Sessions were tape-recorded, transcribed, and content analyzed. Five focus groups were conducted. Group size and length o…
A cohort study of unemployment as a cause of psychological disturbance in Australian youth
Suicide and unemployment in Australia 1907-1990
Social class as a risk factor for infant mortality in an Australian population
Studies in other countries have identified social class as a risk factor for infant mortality. In Australia there is no systematic collection of population data by social class, partly due to the absence of a recognized measure. The use of occupational prestige as an indicator of social class is discussed and Australian prestige scales reviewed. In a population based study, logistic regression analysis of infant mortality in an Australian (NSW) p…
