Early supported discharge for older adults admitted to hospital with medical complaints
Introduction: Early supported discharge (ESD) is well established as a model of health service delivery for people with stroke, allowing patients to return home sooner than otherwise would be possible to receive home-based rehabilitation, more than would be possible with standard community care. Emerging evidence indicates that ESD also reduces the length of stay for older medical inpatients. There is a dearth of evidence exploring the views of s…

Effects of the Perceived Risk of Contracting Covid-19 on Nursing Students' Well-Being
Background: Although mental health symptoms increased during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, little is known about the associations between nursing students' perceived risk of contracting COVID-19 and their academic and psychological well-being. This study examined associations between perceived COVID-19 risk, likelihood of completing nursing education, and mental health factors of nursing students. Method: A total of 979 nursin…
Truth, Autonomy, and Speech

Williams presents a strikingly original interpretation and defense of the First Amendment, written from a feminist perspective. Drawing on work from several disciplines including law, political theory, philosophy, and anth…

Emergency department visits and associated healthcare costs attributable to increasing temperature in the context of climate change in Perth, Western Australia, 2012–2019
Increasing temperature and its impact on population health is an emerging significant public health issue in the context of climate change in Australia. While previous studies have primarily focused on risk assessment, very few studies have evaluated heat-attributable emergency department (ED) visits and associated healthcare costs, or projected future health and economic burdens. This study used a distributed lag non-linear model to estimate hea…

Using a Qualitative Phenomenological Approach to Inform the Etiology and Prevention of Occupational Heat-Related Injuries in Australia
Epidemiological evidence has shown an association between exposure to high temperatures and occupational injuries, an issue gaining importance with environmental change. The aim of this study was to better understand contributing risk factors and preventive actions based on personal experiences. Interviews were conducted with 21 workers from five Australian states using a critical phenomenological approach to capture the lived experiences of part…

Heat-health warnings in regional Australia
Heatwaves are an increasing environmental hazard and an important public health issue in Australia. Heat-health warnings are being adopted widely to promote protective behaviours, but there has been limited evaluation of public responses. This study used a household telephone survey to examine public attitudes and responses to heat-health warnings in regional areas in two Australian states, South Australia and Victoria. The results indicate a hig…
The Unbearable Weight of Truth
The pursuit of hidden truth and the subtle lies we tell ourselves, the barriers or iron curtains erected that impede a deeper connection to ourselves, others, and the ineffable world of spirit, are themes addressed in this article through the character Carrie Mathieson (Claire Danes), a CIA operative in the Showtime series Homeland. Carrie, who suffers from a bipolar disorder, has the gift of uncanny knowing. She is a “shamanic-like” figure who i…

Socio-demographic factors and neighbourhood social cohesion influence adults’ willingness to grant children greater independent mobility
Women, parents (particularly those of younger children), adults with lower education and those who perceived neighbourhood social cohesion as being lower were less willing to let children independently travel further away from home. Interventions to increase children's independent mobility may be more effective if targeted to these groups. In addition, increasing neighbourhood social cohesion may help increase adults' willingness to grant childre…

Speaking of Climate Change
Representations of climate change have been a recurrent motif in media and political domains spanning over 20 years. However, relatively scant scholarly work has addressed how laypeople make sense of this phenomenon in talk. The current study, employing a discursive approach, demonstrates how the salience of climate change, as a social issue, is accounted for and made contingent on social, financial, and political factors. Moreover, the issue of …
Extreme Heat and Health
Among the challenges for rural communities and health services in Australia, climate change and increasing extreme heat are emerging as additional stressors. Effective public health responses to extreme heat require an understanding of the impact on health and well-being, and the risk or protective factors within communities. This study draws on lived experiences to explore these issues in eleven rural and remote communities across South Australi…
Heat Waves and Climate Change
Heat waves are considered a health risk and they are likely to increase in frequency, intensity and duration as a consequence of climate change. The effects of heat waves on human health could be reduced if individuals recognise the risks and adopt healthy behaviours during a heat wave. The purpose of this study was to determine the predictors of risk perception using a heat wave scenario and identify the constructs of the health belief model tha…
Awareness of and Attitudes towards Heat Waves within the Context of Climate Change among a Cohort of Residents in Adelaide, Australia
Heat waves are a public health concern in Australia and unprecedented heat waves have been recorded in Adelaide over recent years. The aim of this study was to examine the perception and attitudes towards heat waves in the context of climate change among a group of residents in Adelaide, an Australian city with a temperate climate. A cross-sectional study was conducted in the summer of 2012 among a sample of 267 residents. The results of the surv…

Developing consumer/ survivor/recovering voice and its impact on services and research
Integrating consumer/survivor/recovering (C/S/R) women in the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration's Women, Co‐Occurring Disorders and Violence Study involved both struggles and growth. The C/S/R women and all of our professional allies, both individually and collectively, greatly enhanced the study by overcoming what earlier seemed to be insurmountable obstacles. Integral to the C/S/R group's personal and professional growth…
"Encountering "Gerald
This article describes a process of moving in and out of a place of "ordinary, transient and sustainable community" within a collaborative writing group. The group meets together both on- and offline. Over the last 5 years, the authors have developed an every day, meandering, and nomadic practice of being, talking, and writing. This enables frequent encounters with a very precious, precarious, and particular sense of collective energy. The group …
Friend and Foe? Technology in a Collaborative Writing Group
This is a partial account of the journey undertaken by a group of academic nomads in search of collaborative writing space. Never intending to permanently settle anywhere, we chose to explore writing technologies that supported collaborative forms of engagement with our task and with each other. Along the way we took up with, and discarded, a variety of writing technologies. Reflecting teamwork and collective biography practices sustained our wor…

Employee turnover in the Maquiladoras
In a country beset with a myriad of economic woes, the maquila (in-bond) program has been a major success story for Mexico. From its inception barely twenty years ago, the maquila program has grown dramatically. By 1987 there were approximately 1,000 maquila plants, employing over 330,000 workers and contributing nearly three billion dollars to the Mexican economy (Instituto Nacional 1988). As a source of income to the Mexican economy, the maquil…

The Media and the Exile of Seretse Khama
In 1950, the British Government exiled Seretse Khama from his own country, the British Protectorate of Bechuanaland in southern Africa (which became independent Botswana in 1966). Twenty-eight-year-old Seretse was the acclaimed kgosi (king) of the Bangwato, the largest of the eight nations of Bechuanaland. The reason for his banishment was his marriage in 1948 to Ruth Williams, an English woman — who happened to be white. Seretse was initially ex…
