A systematic review and lived experience-informed thematic synthesis of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people’s experiences in mental health and substance use services
Advancing the Speed and Science of Implementation Using Mixed-Methods Process Mapping - Best Practice Recommendations
Mixed-methods process mapping is a visualisation tool that identifies the steps, resources and personnel required to deliver a clinical practice, and has been previously used in an ad hoc manner to develop effective implementation strategies and solutions. To realise the potential of mixed-methods process mapping as an implementation tool, we aimed to develop and formalize the methodological steps and provide guidance for contemporary best practi…
Improving Outcomes for Regional Families in the Early Years
Providing child and family health (CFH) services that meet the needs of young children and their families is important for a child's early experiences, development and lifelong health and well-being. In Australia, families living in regional and rural areas have historically had limited access to specialist CFH services. In 2019, five new specialist CFH services were established in regional areas of New South Wales, Australia. The purpose of this…
Adapting community child and family health service models for rural and other diverse settings
Inequity in health outcomes is pervasive, with poorer health outcomes identified in rural, regional and remote communities. An international call to action emphasises the need for service models adapted for less well-resourced settings. The aim of this study was to identify key elements of a framework for the adaptation of specialist community-based child and family health (CFH) service models for rural and other under-resourced settings. A modif…
The influence of the built environment in enacting a household model of residential aged care for people living with a mental health condition
This study undertakes a spatial analysis of an Australian aged care setting where residents receive person-centred support in a specially-designed home-like environment. Focus groups were conducted with staff to explore the impact of the built environment in a new residential aged care setting that has implemented a Household Model of care for people living with mental health conditions. Drawing on Actor-Network Theory and proxemics, we mapped ho…
Analysing ‘big picture’ policy reform mechanisms
BACKGROUND: Agencies promoting national health-care accreditation reform to improve the quality of care and safety of patients are largely working without specific blueprints that can increase the likelihood of success. OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the development and implementation of the Australian Health Service Safety and Quality Accreditation Scheme and National Safety and Quality Health Service Standards (the Scheme), their expected b…
Worldwide survey of education on tobacco in medical schools
Medical schools need continued encouragement to include tobacco issues in their curricula, with particular emphasis on teaching about smoking cessation techniques
