Amplifying children’s leadership roles and voice in decision-making through co-production in outside of school hours care: Qualitative findings from the connect promote and protect program
Background There is scant research examining evidence-based processes and practices that delineate how to include the voices of children in service design and delivery in school age care environments such as Outside of School Hours Care (OSHC). A possible structure to support children to share leadership in design of their OSHC program and have a meaningful voice in decision-making is co-production, whereby children and their OSHC communities hav…
Australian university student perspectives on the factors influencing student wellbeing: A content and relational analysis
It is important to ensure that university student wellbeing policies are informed by the lived experiences of local university students. Relatively few qualitative studies have explored Australian university students’ perspectives on which factors influence student wellbeing. The current study analysed 209 open-text responses provided by Australian university students to the question ‘What most affects your day-to-day wellbeing as a university st…
The growing effect of job demands on teacher mental health: Results from a longitudinal national household panel survey
The decline in teacher's mental health was partly explained by an increasing sensitivity to job demands. Given the reported level of demands did not increase, addressing the reduction in job autonomy over time (which enables workers to cope with high demands) may improve policies to support teacher mental health and workforce retention
Changing prevalence of psychosocial occupational stressors and their impact on employee mental health across birth cohorts
Background Mental illness is the leading cause of employee absence and vocational disability in many countries. The Job Demand-Control model posits that risk factors for mental illness include psychosocial stressors such as high job demands and low job control. We determined (1) if the prevalence of population-level work-related risk factors has changed over time (workplace change) and (2) whether the strength of the association between risk fact…
Naturalistic Evaluation of HeadGear: A Smartphone App to Reduce Depressive Symptoms in Workers
Mobile health (mHealth) apps have the potential to expand access to evidence-based interventions for mental health conditions, including depression. HeadGear was developed to prevent depression and improve well-being among the working population and was associated with significant positive effects in an efficacy trial. This study presents the results from a naturalistic trial intended to evaluate real-world usage of the app. We examined the natur…
A mentally healthy framework to guide employers and policy makers
Mental health problems among the working population represent a growing concern with huge impacts on individuals, organizations, compensation authorities, and social welfare systems. The workplace presents both psychosocial risks and unique opportunities for intervention. Although there has been rapid expansion of workplace mental health interventions over recent decades, clear direction around appropriate, evidence-based action remains limited. …
Evaluating the programme and behavior change theories of a community alcohol education intervention in rural Sri Lanka: A study protocol
Risky alcohol use is a major public health problem globally and in Sri Lanka. While a reduction in alcohol consumption can result in physical, mental, and social benefits, behaviour change is difficult to achieve. Effective, context-adapted interventions are required to minimise alcohol-related harm at a community level. THEATRE is a complex, community-based intervention evaluating whether a promising Sri Lankan pilot study that utilised arts-bas…
Quantifying the human impact of Melbourne's 111-day hard lockdown experiment on the adult population
Lockdown was used worldwide to mitigate the spread of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 and was the cornerstone non-pharmaceutical intervention of zero-COVID strategies. Many previous impact evaluations of lockdowns are unreliable because lockdowns co-occurred with severe coronavirus disease related health and financial insecurities. This was not the case in Melbourne's 111-day lockdown, which left other Australian jurisdictions una…
Trajectories of psychological distress over multiple Covid-19 lockdowns in Australia
The impact of the global COVID-19 pandemic, including the indirect effect of policy responses, on psychological distress has been the subject of much research. However, there has been little consideration of how the prevalence of psychological distress changed with the duration and repetition of lockdowns, or the rate of resolution of psychological distress once lockdowns ended. This study describes the trajectories of psychological distress over…
Continuity of mental health care during the transition from prison to the community following brief periods of imprisonment
Continuity of mental health care for those exiting prison is poor, particularly for those with mental health needs experiencing brief periods of imprisonment, and rates of CMHT contact are low in the immediate post-release period. These findings suggest a need for early identification of individuals in this group for timely commencement of intervention and release planning, and opportunities for diversion from prison should be utilized where poss…
Recurring pain, mental health problems and sick leave in Australia
A substantial proportion of Australians report recurring pain and mental health problems, but their separate and joint contributions to sick leave use has not been examined. This study examines the interaction of pain and mental health problems with sick leave usage and the extent to which unobservable time-invariant factors contribute to these conditions and the propensity to take sick leave. Longitudinal data on self-reported paid sick leave da…
The increasing cost of happiness
A fundamental question for society is how much happiness does a dollar buy? The accepted view among economists and psychologists is that income has diminishing marginal returns on happiness: money and happiness increase together up to a point after which there is relatively little further gain. In this paper we estimate the relationship between income and subjective wellbeing over a 19-year period focusing on where the greatest change in the marg…
Acceptability and face validity of two mental health screening tools for use in the routine surgical setting
Adequate acceptability was established for the K10. However further development is required to strengthen its validity for this specific surgical cohort and purpose. Future research to determine the feasibility and acceptability of implementing and using the K10 in the routine surgical setting is now needed
Nurse Motivation, Engagement and Well-Being before an Electronic Medical Record System Implementation: A Mixed Methods Study
Implementation of an electronic medical record (EMR) is a significant workplace event for nurses in hospitals. Understanding nurses' key concerns can inform EMR implementation and ongoing optimisation strategies to increase the likelihood of nurses remaining in the nursing workforce. This concurrent mixed-methods study included surveys from 540 nurses (response rate 15.5%), and interviews with 63 nurses to examine their perceptions of using a new…
The Utility of a Mental Health App in Apprentice Workers: A Pilot Study
Background: Young people are at heightened risk for mental health problems. Apprenticeships are common pathways into the workforce at a critical developmental period. However, in some cases the working conditions for apprentices present significant challenges to mental wellness. As apprentices are unlikely to utilise traditional services, eHealth and mHealth interventions are a useful means of delivering interventions to this group. The aim of th…
A Pilot Evaluation of a Smartphone Application for Workplace Depression
Interventions delivered via mobile apps show particular promise in tackling the burden of common mental disorders. Appropriately targeting these interventions to at-risk populations is critical to their success. This pilot study aimed to assess the usability, feasibility, acceptability, and preliminary effects of an app-based intervention designed to target depressive symptoms in a stressed working population. Anchored, a smartphone app including…
Efficacy of a Multi-component m-Health Weight-loss Intervention in Overweight and Obese Adults: A Randomised Controlled Trial
Relative to Controls, the Pooled Intervention groups did not differ on body weight but improved resistance training, and reduced energy intake and insomnia symptom severity. No additional weight loss was apparent when targeting improvements in physical activity, diet and sleep in combination compared with physical activity and diet
Having a thick skin is essential’: Mental health challenges for young apprentices in Australia
Apprenticeships are a common pathway for young people transitioning from education to employment, and adolescence to adulthood. Apprenticeships have undergone considerable reform, and since the 1990s labour market priorities in Australia have resulted in weakening of protections offered to workers through the award system and trade unions. At the same time, mental health issues have increased, with young people carrying a disproportionate burden.…
The differential impact of major life events on cognitive and affective wellbeing
Major life events affect our wellbeing. However the comparative impact of different events, which often co-occur, has not been systematically evaluated, or studies assumed that the impacts are equivalent in both amplitude and duration , that different wellbeing domains are equally affected, and that individuals exhibit hedonic adaptation . We evaluated the individual and conditional impact of eighteen major life-events, and compared their effects…

Sleep Disturbances and Suicidality–A Longitudinal Analysis From a Representative Community Study Over 30 Years
Study objectives: Associations between sleep problems and suicidality are increasingly acknowledged, but prospective data from well-controlled long-term community studies are lacking. Methods: We analyzed data from a longitudinal cohort study with n = 591 young adults from Zurich, Switzerland, prospectively followed from 1979 (age 20/21 years) to 2008 (age 49/50 years). Twelve-month prevalence of various mental disorders, socio-environmental conf…
Deciding to Disclose a Mental Health Condition in Male Dominated Workplaces; A Focus-Group Study
Objectives Deciding to disclose a mental illness in the workplace requires thoughtful informed decision making. Decision aids are increasingly used to help people make complex decisions, but need to incorporate relevant factors for the context. This study aimed to identify factors and processes that influence decision making about such disclosure to inform the development a disclosure decision aid tool for employees in male dominated industries. …
The Colombo Twin and Singleton Follow-up Study: A population based twin study of psychiatric disorders and metabolic syndrome in Sri Lanka
MetS was highly prevalent in twins, and especially high in singletons, whereas the prevalence of mental disorders was low, but consistent with local estimates. The high levels of raised fasting plasma glucose and central obesity were particularly concerning, and warrant national diabetes prevention programmes
An Overview of Autism Spectrum Disorder, Heterogeneity and Treatment Options
Since the documented observations of Kanner in 1943, there has been great debate about the diagnoses, the sub-types, and the diagnostic threshold that relates to what is now known as autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Reflecting this complicated history, there has been continual refinement from DSM-III with 'Infantile Autism' to the current DSM-V diagnosis. The disorder is now widely accepted as a complex, pervasive, heterogeneous condition with mul…

Living Well, Living Longer: Working together for better health in people with mental illness
It has long been known that people living with severe mental illness (e.g. schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, or bipolar disorder) have a life expectancy that is 15-25+ years earlier than that of the general population, mostly due to physical health problems such as cardiovascular disease (1-4). However, access to and uptake of appropriate screening and intervention for physical illness is less common in this population (5,6). There is now …
Patient Psychological Characteristics Have Minimal Influence on Surgical Prioritization
OBJECTIVE: Rationing of health care is universal in systems free at the point of delivery. United Kingdom National Health Service (NHS) policy is for treatment on the basis of "clinical need." Surgeons routinely prioritize elective cases, and structured assessments of symptom severity have been suggested as a rational method of prioritization. We hypothesized that patient psychological factors would play an important role in prioritization as cur…
Attitudes of Nursing Staff Towards Co-Workers Returning from Psychiatric and Physical Illnesses
Background: Co-worker support, or lack of it, plays an important role in the contribution of workplace pressure to psychiatric illness and rehabilitation after sickness. Aims: To develop and validate a measure to compare attitudes towards coworkers with different illnesses to identify specific aspects of colleagues’ attitudes which may hinder the reintegration in the workplace after sickness absence of individuals with common psychiatric conditio…
Employment status and perceived health in the Hordaland Health Study (Husk)
Recipients of disability benefits have poor perceived health compared to both the employed and the unemployed. Surprisingly little of this difference can be ascribed to respondents' descriptions of their illnesses and symptoms. Even allowing for potential underascertainment of condition severity, this finding supports the increasing focus on non-disease oriented contributing factors. Rehabilitation efforts aiming at return to work should have a s…
Health Anxiety and Disability Pension Award: The Husk Study
Objective: To examine the hypothesized effect of health anxiety on subsequent disability pension award. Mental disorders are consistently underrecognized in general health care, leading to underestimation of its effects on related social security expenditures. According to medicolegal diagnoses for disability pension award, there are almost no awards of disability benefits for health anxiety or hypochondriasis. There are no empirical longitudinal…
Increasing Rates of Psychiatric Publication From Low- and Middle-Income Countries
Objective: The low level of psychiatric research in low- and middle-income (LAMI) countries has been identified as a cause for concern, particularly because the extent of the unmet need for psychiatric treatment in many LAMI countries is not known. The aim of this study was to establish if the worldwide increase in research publication during the last decade included an increase in publication about mental disorders from LAMI countries. Method: W…
Eligibility, the ICF and the UN Convention: Australian perspectives
The UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, in Australia, acts as a philosophical and moral statement and framework guiding integrated and strategic policy across the nation. Broad policy agreement has been reached by governments, and both the government and non-government sectors are developing strategies for implementation or evaluation. There is however a need for a more integrated approach to disability policy and informatio…

Midlife insomnia and subsequent mortality: The Hordaland health study
Insomnia was associated with a three-fold risk of mortality over 13-15 years follow-up. The risk appeared even higher in males or when insomnia was combined with short sleep duration, although such unadjusted subgroup analyses should be interpreted with caution. Establishing prevention strategies and low-threshold interventions should consequently be a prioritized task for public health policy

In Search of an Integrative Measure of Functioning
International trends towards people-centred, integrative care and support require any measurement of functioning and disability to meet multiple aims. The information requirements of two major Australian programs for disability and rehabilitation are outlined, and the findings of two searches for suitable measures of functioning and disability are analysed. Over 30 current measures of functioning were evaluated in each search. Neither search foun…
