Time as a Social and Environmental Determinant of Health for Rural Women
Background. Time insufficiency is frequently cited as a reason for poor dietary habits. This does not adequately explain the variations in how time is perceived as a factor in healthy eating. Aims. This study placed the eating behaviors of rural Australian women within the contexts of their stories to understand the factors that influenced healthy eating and how rural communities could enhance their health and well-being. Method. A three-phase se…

Re-creating community spaces and practices: Perspectives from artists and funders of creative placemaking
Creative placemaking occurs in various forms. In this article, four creative placemaking events are evaluated in a single case study from the perspectives of artists and funders to ascertain their understanding of creative placemaking and the contributions that these events make to the community. Situated within critical realism and realist evaluation frameworks, this case study included interviews with five artists and five funders. Three themes…

Evaluation and creative placemaking: Using a critical realist model to explore the complexity
In the complex reality of community-based arts and health, it is rare for a direct causal link to be established between any particular project and health and well-being outcomes. Based on a realist retrospective evaluation of a small number of creative placemaking projects, this article presents an integrative model to help conceptualize creative placemaking evaluation according to context, mechanisms and tangible and intangible outcomes and imp…
Raising social consciousness through verbatim theatre: A realist evaluation
Background: Verbatim theatre has the potential to raise social consciousness around difficult social issues, but consideration needs to be given to the philosophical and practice aspects of evaluating social consciousness. Methods: A mixed methods design consisting of survey and ethnographic data was used within Realist frameworks. Results: Four Context-Mechanism-Outcome configurations were developed. These allowed exploration of transformative l…
Early 20th century conceptualization of health promotion
This historical analysis of the term 'health promotion' during the early 20th century in North American journal articles revealed concepts that strongly resonate with those of the 21st century. However, the lineage between these two time periods is not clear, and indeed, this paper supports contentions health promotion has a disrupted history. This paper traces the conceptualizations of health promotion during the 1920s, attempts to operationaliz…
Perceptions of Community Resilience After Natural Disaster in a Rural Australian Town
Individual resilience is a well‐established concept within the field of psychology. However, community resilience is an emerging field of study particularly within the context of natural disasters and other adversities. This article reports a qualitative study related to community resilience in a rural Australian town. This particular community was affected by a series of flood events in 2010/2011, one of which necessitated the total evacuation o…
Engaging in creative activity
Almost anyone working in arts-based interventions has an intuitive understanding of the health and social benefits associated with this work, attributing outcomes to the role of the facilitator, the creative space, the social element and the art-making process. Potential positive benefits can be achieved from the multitude of ways that opportunities are created for engagement in creative activities, in spite of the lack of resources and limited c…
Knowing me, knowing you’: Exploring the effects of a rural leadership programme on community resilience
Rural leadership programmes have proliferated in the past 15 years in countries, including Australia. Whilst most programmes have focussed on transactional leadership which aims to develop individual leaders, increased attention is being paid to transformational approaches to leadership which aim to enhance social networks, cohesiveness and civic activity within communities. In this way, leadership can enhance community resilience. This article u…
The age of transition: Nursing and caring in the nineteenth century
The history of nursing is inextricably linked with caring activities — indeed, much of the early literature on nursing uses these terms interchangeably. Over the past 150 years, this relationship has been both exploited and actively rejected by nurses. For example, the Queensland Nurses' Union's recent campaigns have pivoted around the slogan, 'Nurses Care'. However, during the latter part of the nineteenth century, nurses as a group of emerging …
