Health and Social Care as Complex Adaptive Systems: Application of Relational Network Theory to Care for Older People
Background: Building on concepts from Complex Adaptive Systems (CAS), this paper proposes an overarching social science framework for addressing the fragmentation that exists in health and social care systems worldwide. The focus is on how relational networks might be strengthened to deliver more coordinated, integrated, whole person-centered care. The framework examines a major planned social experiment occurring in New South Wales, Australia: “…
Developing best practice approaches to support the economic evaluation of care pathways: A Scoping Review
Background: Care pathways have been proposed as a way of providing guidance on best evidence care and reducing unnecessary variation by articulating the processes that should be implemented for patients with a particular condition or disease. Given the variety of types of economic evaluation techniques, guidance is needed about the most appropriate ways of conducting economic evaluations of care pathways. Approach: A scoping review on the evaluat…
Co-designing a model of palliative care for people with advanced dementia
In 2020 a series of stakeholder workshops on palliative care and end of life identified dementia as a priority for the Central Coast area of New South Wales Australia. These workshops resulted in the commissioning of a rapid review of existing models of dementia and palliative care, and a research project exploring end-of-life care experiences of Central Coast residents with advanced dementia. It was intended that findings of the research would s…

Family day care educators’ ability to support children’s mental wellbeing and the impact of Covid-19
The childcare setting is a critical environment to observe, and also influence, children’s mental wellbeing. However, little research has examined the experiences and ability of Australian family day care (FDC) educators in supporting children’s mental wellbeing. The present study aimed to explore how training, COVID-19, and partnerships influence FDC educators’ ability to promote children’s mental wellbeing. Seven FDC educators engaged in semi-s…
Designing a model of breastfeeding support in Australia: An appreciative inquiry approach
In Australia, one of the most frequent reasons for not breastfeeding is a previously unsuccessful experience. This qualitative study used an appreciative inquiry approach to co-design a model of peer and professional breastfeeding support, in a metropolitan area of New South Wales (NSW) Australia, in collaboration with women who have had previous negative experiences of breastfeeding. In total, 30 mothers, health professionals and peer supporters…
‘It’s one of those “It’ll never happen to me” things’: Young women’s constructions of smoking and risk
In this article, we examine how young women make sense of the risks associated with smoking cigarettes. We recruited young women smokers and ex-smokers living in Australia in 2014 and 2015 to participate in semi-structured interviews and a participant-produced photography activity on young women’s experiences of smoking and smoking-related risk. We analysed the data using discourse analysis to examine how young women positioned themselves in rela…
Doing and undoing femininities: An intersectional analysis of young women’s smoking
Previous research has found that young women’s smoking relates to their performance of feminine gender identities. Using an intersectional approach, we explore in this study how young women’s smoking is implicated in the doing and undoing of femininities, as well as other intersecting identities. Discourse analysis was used to examine interviews and a photography activity conducted with young women, both current and ex-smokers. This analysis reve…
An Intersectional Analysis of Women's Experiences of Smoking-Related Stigma
In this article, we explore how young women encounter and counter discourses of smoking-related stigma. Twenty-seven young Australian women, smokers and ex-smokers, took part in interviews. A sub-sample of 18 participants took photographs to document their smoking experience, and took part in a second interview. Data were analyzed through Foucauldian discourse analysis. Four discourses were identified: "smoking as stigmatized," "the smoking doubl…
