Use of Direct‐to‐Consumer Telemedicine
Supporting Aged Care Worker Wellbeing
Aged care work is physically and emotionally demanding. Workers can feel disempowered, vulnerable and at increased risk of experiencing work‐related stress. This in turn can result in sub‐optimal care and staff shortages. This study aimed to investigate what provisions exist within Australia's strengthened Aged Care Quality Standards to support aged care worker safety and wellbeing. Document analysis was conducted on the new Aged Care Quality Sta…
Utilisation of the internet and support communities on Facebook for gestational diabetes mellitus self-management and empowerment
The internet and social media are important resources for those diagnosed with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM), the most common medical complication of pregnancy worldwide. However, to date, there has been limited research focused on GDM support communities on Facebook. This study aimed to identify characteristics of members of GDM support communities on Facebook, explore the uptake and value of the internet by the members of online support c…
Co‐Producing Patient‐Reported Experience Measures With People With Intellectual Disability to Improve Healthcare Quality and Outcomes
INTRODUCTION: Intellectual disability, defined by significant limitations in both intellectual functioning and adaptive behaviour with onset during the developmental period, affects an estimated 2% (108 million) of people worldwide. People with intellectual disability experience major health inequity, poor health outcomes and premature deaths, with mortality rates that are 7-12 times higher than the general population. Patient-reported experience…
Outpatient Virtual Care Among People Living With and Beyond Cancer From Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Backgrounds in Australia
BACKGROUND: Virtual care is increasingly being used to deliver outpatient cancer services, yet people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds can experience inequities in accessing these services. A range of complex and context-specific factors impact the effectiveness of virtual care and equity in its use and outcomes. This study draws on the methodological principles of realist evaluation to provide contextual understandin…
‘No matter what time of day’
BACKGROUND: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) affects a significant and growing proportion of pregnant women each year. The condition entails additional monitoring, self-management and healthcare use during pregnancy, and some women also join GDM support groups on Facebook. Little is known about the practices inside these groups, but examining them may elucidate support needs, women's experience of healthcare and improve overall outcomes. The a…
Hospital organizational change
Background: Hospital organizational change can be a challenging time, especially when staff do not feel informed and ready for the change to come. A supportive workplace culture can mitigate the negative effects allowing for a smooth transition during hospital organizational change. In this paper, we test an exploratory path model by which teamwork culture influences staff attitudes in feeling informed and ready for change, and which are ultimate…
Social network research in health care settings
Aged care residents’ prioritization of care
BACKGROUND: Eliciting residents' priorities for their care is fundamental to delivering person-centred care in residential aged care facilities (RACFs). Prioritization involves ordering different aspects of care in relation to one another by level of importance. By understanding residents' priorities, care can be tailored to residents' needs while considering practical limitations of RACFs. OBJECTIVES: To investigate aged care residents' prioriti…
Patient‐reported outcome measures (PROMs)
Decisions and Dilemmas
Staff members in residential aged care facilities (RACFs) make prioritization decisions to determine which aspects of care are most important and thus should be attended to first. Prioritization can potentially result in substandard care if lower priority tasks are delayed or left undone, known as “missed care.” This study investigated the contexts in which prioritization dilemmas arise in RACFs and the influences on prioritization decision-makin…
Implementation of e‐mental health for depression and anxiety
The aim of this review was to scope the growth and development of implementation research of e‐mental healthcare programs for anxiety and depression, the research and evaluation tools used, and the specific implementation processes and outcomes examined. A search of four electronic databases (MEDLINE, EMBASE, PsycINFO, and CINAHL) was conducted from January 2000 to January 2019. Of 33 studies identified, most ( n = 28) were published in the last …
It’s Always About the Eating Disorder
Appraising risk in active surveillance of localized prostate cancer
OBJECTIVES: Men diagnosed with low-risk prostate cancer are typically eligible for active surveillance of their cancer, involving monitoring for cancer progression and making judgements about the risks of prostate cancer against those of active intervention. Our study examined how risk for prostate cancer is perceived and experienced by patients undergoing active surveillance with their clinicians, how risk is communicated in clinical consultatio…
When complexity science meets implementation science
BACKGROUND: Implementation science has a core aim - to get evidence into practice. Early in the evidence-based medicine movement, this task was construed in linear terms, wherein the knowledge pipeline moved from evidence created in the laboratory through to clinical trials and, finally, via new tests, drugs, equipment, or procedures, into clinical practice. We now know that this straight-line thinking was naïve at best, and little more than an i…
The Reality of Uncertainty in Mental Health Care Settings Seeking Professional Integration
This study highlights the importance of acknowledging uncertainties and actively clarifying role ambiguities when working alongside diverse professionals in mental health care
Exploring coronial determination of intent for poisoning-related deaths in Australia, 2001–2013
Significant variation in classifications of intent, both between state jurisdictions and over time, may be the result of regional differences in demographics and increases in prescription drug misuse. However, the inconsistent use of 'undetermined' intent between state jurisdictions suggests coroners may experience varying difficulty in retrospectively ruling on intent in the equivocal circumstances of pharmaceutical poisoning. The widespread use…
Just Desserts? Exploring Constructions of Food in Women's Experiences of Bulimia
Bulimia, an eating disorder that affects more women than men, involves binging and compensatory behaviors. Given the importance of food in experiences of these behaviors, in this article, we examine constructions of food in accounts of bulimic behavior: how these constructions relate to cultural discourses, and their implications for subjectivity. Fifteen women who engaged in bulimic behaviors were interviewed. Through a thematic decomposition of…
