The Living Word and Its Death Threats
The expression ‘the living word’ has wide application, often in preference to an alternative use of language that is likely to threaten it. An enquiry is proposed into the potential utility of the expression for theorizing newer threats such as the use of Large Language Models. The main influence on the enquiry is the theory of dialogism, developed from work by Bakhtin and his colleagues, but other perspectives are included. The paper examines th…
Validating care and treatment scenarios for measuring decisional conflict regarding future care preferences among older adults
OBJECTIVE: Decisional conflict is used increasingly as an outcome measure in advance care planning (ACP) studies. When the Decisional Conflict Scale (DCS) is used in anticipatory decision-making contexts, the scale is typically tethered to hypothetical scenarios. This study reports preliminary validation data for hypothetical scenarios relating to life-sustaining treatments and care utilisation to inform their broader use in ACP studies. METHODS:…
A Scoping Review of Workplace Interventions to Promote Positive Attitudes Toward Older Workers and Reduce Age-Based Discrimination
Population aging trends have created a need for effective policies to extend adult working lives. Previous research has identified the prevalence of negative attitudes (age-related stereotypes, prejudice, and discriminatory behaviors) directed toward older workers in the workplace context. The current scoping review aimed to describe and assess the current evidence in support of different types of interventions aimed at promoting positive attitud…
Barriers Experienced by Community-Dwelling Older Adults Navigating Formal Care
ObjectivesThis study aims to identify the relationship between psychosocial factors and unmet needs among community-dwelling older adults who have received or who expect to receive formal home-based aged care services.MethodsA subsample of the national Survey of Disability, Ageing and Carers was used to examine the prevalence of having any unmet needs among older adults navigating care. We also examined associations between older adults' psychoso…
Delivering decision making support to people with cognitive disability—What more has been learned from pilot programmes in Australia and internationally from 2016 to 2021
Article 12 of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities has been instrumental in driving the development of the concept and practice of supported decision making. An important feature has been the development of “supported decision making pilots.” This paper identifies, describes and analyses pilot programmes providing support for decision making for people with cognitive disabilities in Australia and internationall…
Collective Writing
This paper is a summary of philosophy, theory, and practice arising from collective writing experiments conducted between 2016 and 2022 in the community associated with the Editors’ Collective and more than 20 scholarly journals. The main body of the paper summarises the community’s insights into the many faces of collective writing. Appendix 1 presents the workflow of the article’s development. Appendix 2 lists approximately 100 collectively wri…
No Bull Here, Please
This article is based on a 2007 conference presentation that used Research-Based Theater (RbT) to identify and articulate the ethical questions facing playmakers and audiences, not to provide answers, but to challenge the participants to address them. The authors pose issues of purpose, power, ownership, permission, and audience participation, addressing ethical problems of RbT for performers, audiences, and informants. In the second part of the …
Advance care directive prevalence among older Australians and associations with person‐level predictors and quality indicators
BACKGROUND: Advance care planning (ACP) conversations may result in preferences for medical care being documented. OBJECTIVE: To explore the uptake and quality of advance care directives (ACDs) among older Australians accessing health and aged care services, by overall ACP documentation prevalence, person-level predictors and ACD quality indicators. DESIGN AND SETTING: National multi-centre health record audit in general practices (GP), hospitals…
Association Between Region of Birth and Advance Care Planning Documentation Among Older Australian Migrant Communities
Region of birth is associated with the rate and type of ACP uptake for some older Australians. Approaches to ACP should facilitate access to interpreters and be sensitive to diverse preferences for individual and family involvement in ACP
Bringing the ‘other half’ back
In this paper, we introduce readers to the Indigenous Wellbeing of Boys and Men project, a 4-year research collaboration between scholars from the Universities of Manitoba and British Columbia and Fisher River Cree Nation (Ochékwi Sipi). We overview the research design of the project, paying particular attention to the foundational strategies that informed the research process. These strategies included, embedding the project within an Indigenous…
You’ve Got Mail
Email has become a pervasive feature of academic life. Its impact on academic time will be immediately familiar to contemporary readers; simultaneously, however, academic work associated with email may be hidden from official recognition. Awareness of this contradiction stimulated a proposal to investigate email use over a year of an academic’s life to explore tensions among administrative, research and teaching tasks, using third-generation acti…
With a personal appearance from the online teacher
While online students may wish to see their teacher on video, there may be practical, pedagogical, affective or political reasons for hesitating. Drawing on my own experiences of online teaching both on a Masters programme and a MOOC (EDCMOOC), the paper raises questions about approaches to teaching, misrepresentation, surveillance and teacher agency. I conclude that though there are problems in these areas, they exist apart from the use of video…
Participatory video making for research and health promotion in remote Australian Aboriginal communities
This paper describes the participatory video (PV) method as a means of engaging children in remote Aboriginal communities as participants in health research. The PV method was piloted in two remote communities in the Goldfields region of Western Australia. There was widespread community acceptance of this approach and preliminary findings are discussed with reference to the key themes of perspectives on health, benefits to participants and benefi…
Thinking like a nurse
We aim to empower nursing students to understand that their actions can positively contribute to health care, and to develop professionals who humanize the health workforce. We have designed simulation learning experiences using process drama, Mask-Ed (KRS Simulation). Participants are engaged in a series of structured improvisations emphasizing collaborative discovery and idea development. With no external audience, educator and students are sim…
