Healthcare professionals’ views on how palliative care should be delivered in Bhutan
Palliative care aims to relieve serious health-related suffering among patients and families affected by life-limiting illnesses. However, palliative care remains limited or non-existent in most low- and middle- income countries. Bhutan is a tiny kingdom in the Himalayas where palliative care is an emerging concept. This study aimed to explore the views of Bhutanese healthcare professionals on how palliative care should be delivered in Bhutan. It…
Subject positions in screening mammography and implications for informed choice
Objective Screening mammography has potential benefits as well as harms, but these are not always communicated to women. We therefore explored how women discuss screening mammography, the subject positions made available in their discourse, and the implications of these for informed choice. Design: We conducted 16 individual interviews with women aged 44-72 years who were attenders (n = 11) and non-attenders (n = 5) of screening, and analysed tra…

There are potential benefits associated with advance care planning (ACP), and general practitioners (GPs) are well placed to coordinate ACP initiatives with their patients.

The primary aims of the study were to examine uptake of verbal (conversations regarding care preferences) and written (documented car…
Cost-Effectiveness Analysis from a Randomized Controlled Trial of Tailored Exercise Prescription for Women with Breast Cancer with 8-Year Follow-Up
Studies show conflicting results on whether exercise interventions to improve outcomes for women with breast cancer are cost-effective. We modelled the long-term cost-effectiveness of the Exercise for Health intervention compared with usual care. A lifetime Markov cohort model for women with early breast cancer was constructed taking a societal perspective. Data were obtained from trial, epidemiological, quality of life, and healthcare cost repor…

Semi-structured interviews were conducted in July and August 2015 with 13 Australian women aged 54-74 years. Data were analysed thematically. Participants deemed their engagement with breast health practices as the 'right' thing. However, engaging in these 'right' practices appeared to be fostered by…
