Exploring the need for a social prescribing pathway in an Australian paediatric allied healthcare intake service
Background The social determinants of health (SDH) drive child health inequities. Adverse SDH are experienced at an individual level as unmet social needs. In a paediatric Allied Healthcare system, these unmet social needs are barriers to service access. Evidence Social prescribing offers a promising solution. However, this practice is not routinely implemented in Australia. Objective To determine whether the Routine Identification of Unmet Socia…
Getting Ours? “Girlbossing” and the Ethics of Nurse Reimbursement Models
Introduction: This article politicizes a reimbursement model proposed by some professional nursing associations that aim to better align the price of nursing labor (nurses' pay) to the value of nursing and make nurses' contributions more visible. Methods: Using the concept of "missing care," the critique reveals how professionalization directs attention to individual-level interactions between care seekers and practitioners while obscuring from v…

Peer support groups, mobile phones and refugee women in Melbourne
In this article, we discuss qualitative findings basing on the experiences of refugee women living in Melbourne, Australia, who participated in a peer support training programme and received a free mobile phone.

Social connectedness and mobile phone use among refugee women in Australia
The aim of this research was to inform the development of mobile phone-assisted health promotion programmes that support social connectedness among refuge women to enhance their mental, physical and social health. For refugees, relationship development during the early stages of resettlement is often difficult. Enhancing personal skills, and resources, can enhance relationships that provide social support. It can also contribute to the developmen…

This qualitative study explored how 10 Burmese refugee young women experience parental expectations pre-and post-migration, and the effect of resettlement on the parent–child relationship. The data was gathered using the semi-structured in-depth interview technique and the…

Innovative approaches to family violence
The WHO typology of violence is based on a classification of who commits violent acts against whom (eg partner abuse), and through what means (eg physical violence). Family violence would be viewed as interpersonal violence perpetrated by a family member against a victim who might be a child, partner or older family member. However, if we consider the causes and consequences of family violence we can begin to see links into the self-directed and …

The public's problem with public health research
Public health research is divided into factions which are often engaged in bitter theoretical and methodological disputes, especially when issues of funding are discussed. From the perspective of a user of health services, these rivalries are an obstacle to public health. This paper explores three approaches to understanding the foundations of these differences. The first is a discussion of disciplinary sub-cultures, the second a brief discussion…
Inter-organizational linkages as mediating structures community health
This paper originated in a study of the interorganizational linkages of a graup of community health centres in Victona Australia. It was believed at the outset, that these centres had extensive links with their communities that had never been documented. This was indeed the case. However, it emerged that they were poorly understood and undervalued especially by managers and policymakers. In this paper the functions of these linkages are described…
