This study investigated parents' experiences and reports of the impact of COVID‐19 lockdowns in Australia on family members in families raising a child with a disability and at least one other child. This study focused on parents' perspectives of their…
Reflective-Thinking and Resilience as Predictors of Professionalism in Master of Social Work Students

This study explored the associations between professionalism, resilience, and reflective thinking in a sample of 212 students enrolled in a Master of Social Work program. The sample was predominantly female, aged 20 to 29, with an international student enrollment status. Students completed a demographic q…
Exploring emotional and social competencies in undergraduate students: Perspectives from Cald and non-Cald students
With the internationalisation of higher education, students from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds represent a significant proportion of the university student body in Australia. Research literature indicates that the unique cultural and linguistic challenges experienced by these students may adversely impact their academic performance and social integration in university settings. However, less is known about how the socio…
The relationship between school-age children's perceptions of their playfulness and interoceptive awareness: An Exploratory Study
Playfulness is a key element in determining the play quality of children and interoceptive awareness (IA) has the potential to influence a range of elements of children’s play. IA refers to a person’s conscious perception of his/her internal bodily processes. This study investigated the association between school-age children’s perceptions of their IA and aspects of their playfulness. Thirty typically developing children aged between eight and 12…
An exploratory study of facilitator adherence to a School-Based Filial Therapy programme
Filial therapy is a play therapy intervention where significant individuals who are not clinicians facilitate therapeutic play sessions with children. In School-Based Filial Therapy (SBFT), the direct treatment role is performed by specially trained education professionals. Concerns about fidelity in filial therapy have been raised historically; however, investigation has been limited. This mixed-methods study explored factors impacting facilitat…
The association between school-aged children's self-reported levels of playfulness and quality of life: A Pilot Investigation
Playfulness and quality of life (QoL) appear to be related constructs; however, no studies have explored the potential association between them to date. Playfulness and QoL are important practice-related concepts for education and therapy professionals who work with children and their families. This study examined the potential links between children's self-reported playfulness and QoL. Thirty-one typically developing children aged 8–12 years (av…
Young carers and educational engagement: Quantitative analysis of bursary applications in Australia
Young carers support family members affected by disability or a health condition. The Young Carer Bursary Program aims to support young carers' education. This paper analysed data from consenting bursary applicants (2017-2019) to investigate relationships between wellbeing, educational attendance, home study and other factors. Descriptive statistics, correlation and regression analysis determined significant issues, relationships and influential …
The Relationship between Psychological Well-Being and Psychosocial Factors in University Students
Determining what factors influence the psychological well-being of undergraduate university students may provide valuable information to inform the development of intervention programs and targeted learning activities. The objective of this study was to investigate the correlation between psychological well-being in university students and their self-reported learning styles and methodologies, social skills, emotional intelligence, anxiety, empat…
A pilot study of school-based Filial Therapy (SBFT) with a group of Australian children attending rural primary schools: The Impact on Academic Engagement, School Attendance and Behaviour
School-based Filial Therapy (SBFT), a mental health intervention for primary school children living and remote locations. The SBFT pilot was implemented in three rural primary schools in remote and regional New South Wales, Australia, using a pretest-posttest control group design to investigate the impact of 10-sessions of Filial Therapy with a paraprofessional. Target issues were frequency and severity of school behaviour incidents, attendance, …
Exploratory Factor Analysis: A Five-Step Guide for Novices
Factor analysis is a multivariate statistical approach commonly used in psychology, education, and more recently in the health-related professions. This paper will attempt to provide novice researchers with a simplified approach to undertaking exploratory factor analysis (EFA). As the paramedic body of knowledge continues to grow, indeed into scale and instrument psychometrics, it is timely that an uncomplicated article such as this be offered to…
Are learning style preferences of health science students predictive of their attitudes towards e-learning
The objective for this study was to determine whether learning style preferences of health science students could predict their attitudes to e-learning. A survey comprising the Index of Learning Styles (ILS) and the Online Learning Environment Survey (OLES) was distributed to 2885 students enrolled in 10 different health science programs at an Australian university. A total of 822 useable surveys were returned generating a response rate of 29.3%.…
Applicability of Montreal Process Criterion 4 — soil and water conservation — to rangeland sustainability
Criterion 4 of the Montreal Process addresses the conservation of soil and water resources as a way to assess the sustainability of a nation's forests. For the most part, the indicators under this criterion are relevant to rangelands. The area and percent of rangeland with significant soil erosion apply equally well to both biomes. Percent of streams with flow rates and timing outside its range of historical variation is also equally important, a…
