Conceptualization and implementation of community social prescribing evaluation
Social prescribing involves trusted individuals in clinical and community settings identifying non-medical, health-related social needs and connecting people to community-based supports through a collaboratively developed social prescription. Social prescribing operates within a dynamic, complex adaptive system, making evaluation challenging. This study presents two Australian case studies of co-designed social prescribing programs— Connect Local…
Australian retirement village residents
The characteristics of Australian retirement village residents, an under-researched population, are not well understood. Knowledge of their wellbeing and modifiable factors associated with low wellbeing would aid in the introduction of health promotion measures and supports to facilitate healthy ageing-in-place. A novel approach utilising latent class analysis (LCA), a statistical method not previously employed to study this population, was under…
Feasibility and acceptability of paramedic-initiated health education for rural-dwelling older people
Background: In rural and regional areas, older Australians have poorer health outcomes and higher rates of potentially preventable hospital admissions than their metropolitan counterparts. Paramedics may be uniquely placed to improve health outcomes of rural-dwelling older adults through involvement in primary and preventive healthcare, health promotion and health education. However, the feasibility and acceptability of this remains unexplored. A…
Quality of life of older Australians receiving home nursing services for complex care needs
Older Australians may live up to 10 years in ill health, most likely chronic disease-related. Those with multimorbidity report more healthcare visits, poorer health and take more medications compared with people with a single chronic disease. They are also at higher risk of hospital admission and poor quality of life. People living with multimorbidity are considered to have "complex care" needs. A person-centred approach to healthcare has led to …
Co‐designing Being Your Best program—A holistic approach to frailty in older community dwelling Australians
Frailty is a condition characterised by increased vulnerability and decline of physical and cognitive reserves, most often affecting older people. This can lead to a cascade of repeated hospitalisations, further decline and ultimately loss of independence. Frailty and pre-frailty are modifiable; interventions such as physical exercise, cognitive training, social connection and improved nutrition, especially in a group setting, can mitigate frailt…
Improvements in life expectancy among Australians due to reductions in smoking
The estimated optimum gain in life expectancy is consistent with potentially moderate gains which occur when both men and women below 60 years are targeted to reduce smoking prevalence to 10
