The Death Literacy Index
Unpaid carers of palliative patients make a significant contribution to the health economy but are particularly vulnerable to burdens due to facing the prospect of death. Caring for a loved one at the end-of-life requires knowledge of the death system in which they operate to access both practical support networks and services and emotional support for themselves. We combined qualitative data from interviews and focus groups with survey data desi…
Community Health Navigator assisted transition of care from hospital to community
Background: Internationally, the roles of Community Health Workers, also known as Community Health Navigators (CHNs), have been developed as an intervention to improve the transition of people to their homes following a hospital admission. Generally, CHNs are trusted members of the communities they serve. This trusting relationship enables them to serve as a link between health services, social services and the community to facilitate access and …
Evaluating local primary health care actions to address health inequities
PHNs' equity actions were limited. To optimise regional planning for health equity, primary health care organisations need autonomy and scope to act on the 'upstream' factors that contribute to local health issues. They also need sufficient time and resources for robust, systematic planning processes that incorporate mechanisms such as procedure guides and tools/templates, to capitalise on their local evidence to address health inequities. Organi…
Challenges facing primary health care in federated government systems
Relapse into Undernutrition in a Nutritional Program in HIV Care and the Impact of Food Insecurity
The relapse into undernutrition after nutritional recovery among those enrolled in a nutritional program is a common challenge of nutritional programs in HIV care settings, but there is little evidence on the determinants of the relapse. Nutritional programs in HIV care settings in many countries are not well designed to sustain the gains obtained from enrolment in a nutritional program. This study examined relapse into undernutrition and associa…
Stigma and discrimination
There was evidence of concerns about HIV-related stigma and discrimination among individuals enrolled in this program and their family members, which in turn negatively affected the utilisation of the nutritional program and the HIV service more broadly. Stigma and discrimination are a source of health inequity and undermine access to the nutritional program and other HIV services. Nutritional programs in HIV care should include strategies to tak…

How institutional forces, ideas and actors shaped population health planning in Australian regional primary health care organisations
There are numerous institutional, normative and cultural factors influencing population health planning. The experience of Australian Medicare Locals highlights the difficulties of planning in such a way that the impact of the social determinants on health and health equity are taken into account. The policy environment favours a focus on clinical services to the detriment of health promotion informed by a social determinants focus
Increased private health fund involvement in Australia's primary health care
This study identifies current practices of private health funds ( PHF s) in Australian primary health care ( PHC ), including areas where their involvement is increasing, and examines the risks and benefits of these practices for quality of, and equity of access to PHC . The paper draws on research to investigate equity implications of current PHF involvement in PHC in Australia. We reviewed literature, analysed documents relating to a Senate Com…
Primary health care reform, dilemmatic space and risk of burnout among health workers
Health system changes may increase primary health care workers' dilemmatic space, created when reforms contravene professional values. Dilemmatic space may be a risk factor for burnout. This study partnered with six Australian primary health care services (in South Australia: four state government-managed services including one Aboriginal health team and one non-government organisation and in Northern Territory: one Aboriginal community-controlle…
Commissioning and equity in primary care in Australia
This paper reports findings from 55 stakeholder interviews undertaken in six Primary Health Networks (PHNs) in Australia as part of a study of the impact of population health planning in regional primary health organisations on service access and equity. Primary healthcare planning is currently undertaken by PHNs which were established in 2015 as commissioning organisations. This was a departure from the role of Medicare Locals, the previous regi…
Comprehensive primary health care under neo-liberalism in Australia
This paper applies a critical analysis of the impact of neo-liberal driven management reform to examine changes in Australian primary health care (PHC) services over five years. The implementation of comprehensive approaches to primary health care (PHC) in seven services: five state-managed and two non-government organisations (NGOs) was tracked from 2009 to 2014. Two questions are addressed: 1) How did the ability of Australian PHC services to i…
Institutional (mis)trust in colorectal cancer screening
INTRODUCTION: Colorectal cancer (CRC) has the second highest cancer mortality rate in Australia. The Australian National Bowel Cancer Screening Program (NBCSP) aims to increase early detection of CRC by offering free Faecal Occult Blood Testing (FOBT), although uptake is low for culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) groups. AIM OF PAPER: To present data on trust and mistrust in the NBCSP by population groups with low uptake and thus to hig…
Community assessment workshops
Community assessment workshops were developed to gather client experiences of primary health care services in Australia. Primary health care services are particularly concerned with working with disadvantaged populations, for whom traditional client survey methods such as written surveys may not be inclusive and accessible. Service staff at six Australian primary health care services, including two Aboriginal-specific services, invited participan…

Community Health Workers’ Perspectives on Their Contribution to Rural Health and Well-Being in Iran
Objectives. The activities of community health workers (CHWs) have been identified as key to improvements in the health of Iran's rural population. We explored the perceptions of CHWs regarding their contribution to rural health in Iran. Methods. Three research assistants familiar with the Iranian primary health care network conducted face-to-face interviews with CHWs in 18 provinces in Iran. Results. Findings showed that Iranian CHWs have an in-…
