Advanced Care Plan Among Older Chinese in Residential Aged Care: A Retrospective Review
INTRODUCTION: Worldwide in the population of older people, ethnic diversity is prevalent and therefore warrants culturally sensitive advanced care planning. This study aimed to explore advanced care planning documentation related to the cultural needs of residents of Chinese ethnicity in Australian aged care facilities. METHODS: A retrospective review of advanced care plan documentation was undertaken among 31 older Chinese residents with life-li…
Reflexivity Conducting Mixed Methods Research on Indigenous Women's Health in Lower and Middle-Income Countries - An Example From Bangladesh
Indigenous women's health in low and middle-income countries continues to experience exclusions from the mainstream context and has remained underrepresented in health research, including qualitative research. Based on mixed methods research (comprising qualitative and quantitative methods) into Indigenous women in Bangladesh, this article addresses the reflexivity of a non-Indigenous researcher studying Indigenous women's health issues in the Ch…
Community perspectives of barriers indigenous women face in accessing maternal health care services in the Chittagong Hill Tracts, Bangladesh
Findings suggest that cultural competency training for all health care providers is needed to improve cultural appropriateness and accessibility of services. Refresher training and undisrupted supply of basic MHC services for front-line care providers will benefit the entire community and will likely be cost-effective for the government. Designing health programmes through extensive community consultation is essential
Rethinking Suicide in Rural Australia: A study Protocol for Examining and Applying Knowledge of the Social Determinants to Improve Prevention in Non-Indigenous Populations
Disproportionate rates of suicide in rural Australia in comparison to metropolitan areas pose a significant public health challenge. The dynamic interrelationship between mental and physical health, social determinants, and suicide in rural Australia is widely acknowledged. Advancement of this knowledge, however, remains hampered by a lack of adequate theory and methods to understand how these factors interact, and the translation of this knowled…
Depression and Risk of Unintentional Injury in Rural Communities—A Longitudinal Analysis of the Australian Rural Mental Health Study
Limited longitudinal research has examined relationships between depression and injury, particularly in rural contexts. This paper reports cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses from the Australian Rural Mental Health Study (ARMHS) exploring relationships between "probable depression" episodes and unintentional injury. Participants completed four surveys over five years. Multivariate logistic regressions were employed to assess the causal effe…
Visual Methodologies in Qualitative Research: Autophotography and Photo Elicitation Applied to Mental Health Research
Introduction: Visual methodologies are a collection of methods used to understand and interpret images. These methods have been used for a long time in anthropology and sociology; however, they are a relatively new way to research for the majority of disciplines, especially health research. Two effective visual methodologies that could be used in health research are autophotography and photo elicitation. Autophotography: Autophotography is asking…
The health and wellbeing of Australian farmers: A longitudinal cohort study
Remoteness is a significant factor in the mental health and wellbeing of farmers, more so than financial stress, rural factors and recent adverse events. Creative programs and policies that improve access for farmers to GPs and mental health professionals should be supported
Long-term effects of lifetime trauma exposure in a rural community sample
PTEs may have diverse psychological and social consequences beyond the development of PTSD. Ensuring that adequate support services are available in rural areas, particularly in the period immediately following a PTE, may reduce the long-term impact of traumatic events
The Child Illness and Resilience Program (CHiRP): A study protocol of a stepped care intervention to improve the resilience and wellbeing of families living with childhood chronic illness

Unintentional Injury, Psychological Distress and Depressive Symptoms: Is There an Association for Rural Australians
Purpose: To investigate the association between unintentional injury and mental health in Australian rural communities. Methods: Using cross‐sectional baseline data for a longitudinal study from randomly selected adults in nonmetropolitan Australia, we fitted logistic regression models for the outcomes of domestic or public setting injury and injury in high‐risk settings, using prior depression and demographic factors. OR and 99% CI were reported…
Social support and age influence distress outcomes differentially across urban, regional and remote Australia: An exploratory study
Remoteness may moderate the influence of social support and age on psychological distress outcomes
Individual and district-level predictors of alcohol use: Cross sectional findings from a rural mental health survey in Australia
Although recent attention has been directed towards the potential adverse health effects of district or community level adversity across rural regions, our study found relatively few district-level factors contributing to at-risk alcohol consumption after controlling for individual-level factors. Population-based prevention strategies may be most beneficial in rural areas with a higher socio-economic ranking, while individual attention should be …
P2-496 An interaction of social support and remoteness in the prediction of psychological distress
Introduction The influence of social support on mental health outcomes may vary with remoteness in Australian communities. However, the potential variation of determinants of mental health with remoteness has rarely been directly examined. The current research aims to examine the association of social support and distress with remoteness. Methods Community cohorts from rural and urban New South Wales were combined (N=5924; mean age=61.1 yrs; 44.2…
Equity of access to cardiac rehabilitation: The role of system factors
Health service managers typically monitor service utilisation patterns as indicators of access but often pay little attention to ways in which locally determined system factors influence access to care. The paper shows how a hospital selection process can unreasonably influence patients' opportunities to benefit from an evidence-based healthcare program
