Assessing the Quality of Transition Plans in Out‐of‐Home Care
Despite transition planning practices for young people (YP) in out‐of‐home care (OoHC), many continue to experience inequities after care, suggesting that intended outcomes are not being achieved. In Victoria, Australia, a Care and Transition Plan (transition plan(s)) document is the primary mandated tool to capture YP's transition goals, actions and supports for leaving care. The quality of the transition plans may play a critical role in shapin…
Key informant perspectives of suicide prevention in Australia
Key informants from across the suicide prevention sector in Australia identified a range of issues for consideration in the development of Australia's new National Suicide Prevention Strategy which are also relevant for suicide prevention policy and program development in other high-income countries. Key issues include the need for concerted efforts to define and build the capacity of the suicide prevention sector, implement and monitor a whole-o…
Government funded suicide prevention in Australia – an environmental scan
Current government emphasis on and investment in suicide prevention activity, together with strong commitment to lived experience and cross sectorial collaboration, are substantial and appropriate. There are also many opportunities to further progress cross-portfolio and cross-jurisdiction suicide prevention and response efforts. This requires urgently adopting a shared understanding of suicide, which includes the diverse drivers of suicidal dist…
A Scoping Review of Family Focussed Interventions to Prevent Prison Violence
Violence is an ongoing concern for many people who live and work in correctional settings and yet relatively little is known about the effects of institutional violence prevention efforts. This paper reports the findings of a scoping review of recent research relevant to understanding the influence of one factor, contact with family, that potentially influences institutional violence in countries such as Aotearoa New Zealand where Indigenous peop…
Mental health-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviours in a cross-sectional sample of australian university students: A comparison of domestic and international students
Though there were some important differences between domestic and international students in this study, differences were narrower than observed in previous studies. Study findings are informing the on-going implementation and refinement of this university's student mental health strategy, and may be used to inform evolving policy and practice in the university sector
Interventions to Prevent Prison Violence: A Scoping Review of the Available Research Evidence
Although a reasonably large body of knowledge is now available to describe prison violence, much less is known about the effectiveness of violence prevention interventions. In this scoping review, ten different research databases were searched to identify recent evaluation studies that adopted an experimental or quasi-experimental design. A total of 18 separate evaluation studies met the study inclusion criteria which were then categorised in rel…
Young Mothers’ Experiences of Receiving the Baby Bonus: A Qualitative Study
The year 2014 marked the abolition of the Baby Bonus and its replacement with a substantially reduced parenting payment. While often criticised as “middle-class welfare,” or publicly denounced due to its purported misuse by disadvantaged mothers, this paper argues that the Baby Bonus provided valuable financial assistance to families experiencing high financial stress. To investigate young women's experience of receiving the Baby Bonus, 19 semist…
Women's experiences of pelvic inflammatory disease: Implications for health-care professionals
This study explored the health-care experiences of women diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 23 women diagnosed with pelvic inflammatory disease. Many women felt empowered about their health post-diagnosis; however, a smaller number reported becoming hyper-vigilant towards symptoms. Infertility was the greatest concern for women. Inadequate information and treatment resulted in negative healt…
Negotiations of distress between East Timorese and Vietnamese refugees and their family doctors in Melbourne
Recent critiques of depression have contested its coherence as a concept and highlighted its performance in medicalising distress. Studies of depression in a cross-cultural context have focused on language and belief systems as technical barriers to practice that need to be overcome in enacting depression work. This paper seeks to locate culture within the broader socio-structural context of depression care in general practice. The paper draws on…
Effects of Sexually Transmitted Infection Status, Relationship Status, and Disclosure Status on Sexual Self-Concept
Research has indicated that having a sexually transmitted infection (STI) such as genital herpes and genital human papilloma virus (HPV) can have a negative impact on an individual's sexuality. The current study was designed to evaluate the effect of STI status, relationship status, and disclosure status on various dimensions of sexual self-concept. A questionnaire that evaluated the above variables was completed by 117 individuals with genital h…
Sexually Transmitted Infections: Impact on Individuals and Their Relationships
The impact of having genital herpes and genital human papilloma virus (HPV) on individuals and their relationships was investigated. A qualitative research methodology explored the lived experiences of 30 adults with genital herpes (15 men, 15 women), and 30 adults with HPV (15 men, 15 women). This study addressed individuals' feelings about the impact of stigma associated with having an STI, the impact of having an STI on sexuality and on intima…
