A scoping review of preference-based instruments for measuring carer outcomes in economic evaluations
Carer-specific preference-based instruments have been developed to capture outcomes for economic evaluations but the body of evidence has yet to be collated to guide instrument selection and identify knowledge gaps for future research. This scoping review aimed to identify carer-related, preference-based instruments and summarise and assess their performance, valuation and application. Nine databases (ASSIA, CINAHL, Cochrane, DARE, Econlit, EMBAS…
Adults With Intellectual Disability Moving out of the Family Home Using the National Disability Insurance Scheme
For adults with intellectual disability and their families, future planning and moving out of the family home in Australia will increasingly occur within the context of the National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS). As a market‐based, individualised funding system its impact on this transition remains largely unknown. This paper reports on a qualitative study involving 17 family members who supported an adult with intellectual disability to mov…
Social Determinants of Health and Health‐Related Quality of Life
This study explored the mediating influences of access to social activities, social services, and health and medical services on the relationship between social determinants of health and health‐related quality of life. A survey of 602 adults was conducted in a regional area of Australia. Participants completed measures of social determinants of health, health‐related quality of life, and indicated the social activities, social services, and heal…
The process of co‐designing a model of social prescribing
INTRODUCTION: Social needs such as housing, employment, food, income and social isolation are having a significant impact on individuals, families and communities. Individuals are increasingly presenting to health settings with social needs, which are ill-equipped to address nonmedical needs. Social prescribing is a systematic approach connecting the health, social and community sectors to better address social needs and improve health and wellbe…
Using Inclusive Research Methods and the Housing Pathways Framework in Future Planning and Housing Research
Housing and future planning have been key areas of interest in intellectual and development disabilities research for a number of decades. However, the voices of adults with intellectual disabilities are underrepresented in this area of research. Furthermore, the use of inclusive research methods remains limited in the literature. This study sought to pilot the use of inclusive research approaches to investigate the viability of these methods and…
Public Attitudes for Quality and Funding of Long‐Term Care
There has been growing interest in exploring factors that influence the success or otherwise of welfare policies in democratic countries, such as the interrelationships between the proposed policy and the context it will be introduced into, such as the sociodemographic characteristics of the population and the population’s previous experience with welfare policies. However, there has been little exploration of factors that could influence general…
Older adults’ community participation, physical activity, and social interactions during and following Covid-19 restrictions in Australia
During COVID-19 the physical and social activities of community dwelling older adults changed. Services that support older adults to adapt their activities , considering their capacities and preferences, to facilitate community participation are required
How do older adults receiving aged care services understand and respond to the EQ-5D-5L? A think-aloud study in residential care
Older adults may bring a different understanding to the EQ-5D-5L descriptive system than that expected given testing with general population samples. Dimension descriptors that are more relevant to this population may facilitate responses that better align with the underlying EQ-5D-5L concept model
Measuring Quality of Life in Residential Aged Care Using the EQ-5D-5L
Quality of life (QoL) is an important outcome in aged care, but self-report is not always possible due to the high prevalence of cognitive impairment in older aged care residents. This study aims to assess the impact of family member proxy perspective (proxy-proxy or proxy-person) on interrater agreement with resident self-report by different cognition levels. The influence of proxy perspective and cognition level is a significant gap in the exta…
Knowledge is everything?’ How well do the general public understand aged care and how does this affect their attitudes towards quality of care and future funding
The recent Royal Commission into Aged Care Quality and Safety in Australia has documented systemic failures and shocking incidences of abuse and neglect, a not uncommon story internationally. As aged care in many countries is predominantly publicly funded, it is important to understand the general public's attitudes towards aged care quality, what aspects of care quality they think are most important and their willingness to contribute to increas…
Assessing the construct validity of the Quality-of-Life-Aged Care Consumers (QOL-ACC)
The study provides evidence of the construct validity of the QOL-ACC descriptive system. A preference-weighted value set is currently being developed for the QOL-ACC, which when finalised will be subjected to further validation assessments
Do we agree or disagree? A systematic review of the application of preference-based instruments in self and proxy reporting of quality of life in older people
Cognitive plasticity induced by gaze-control technology
Using discrete choice experiments to elicit the service preferences of people with mild intellectual disability
The National Disability Insurance Scheme (NDIS) in Australia and other similar international movements towards consumer direction have highlighted the importance of including consumers to ensure their service preferences are operationalised. Discrete Choice Experiments (DCEs) are an established method to quantify consumer preferences. The feasibility of using DCEs with people with intellectual disability is largely untested. Consenting participan…
Stakeholder Generated Ideas for Alternative School Food Provision Models in Australia Using the Nominal Group Technique
Good nutrition is important for children's learning, growth, and development, yet food intake during school hours does not align with recommendations. In Australia, most school children currently bring a packed lunch from home, but what if there was a different way? This project aimed to engage a diverse range of stakeholders to (1) generate, refine and prioritize ideas for novel models of food provision to Australian children within school hours…
Developing dimensions for a new preference-based quality of life instrument for older people receiving aged care services in the community
This research finds that quality of life for older people accessing aged care services goes beyond health-related quality of life and incorporates broader aspects that transcend health. The findings represent the first stage in a multiphase project working in partnership with older people to develop a new preference-based instrument of quality of life for informing quality assessment and economic evaluation in community aged care. In future work,…
Pulled away
This study aimed to understand the experiences of bilingual nurses asked to interpret in the Emergency Department (ED), and the subsequent impact on safety climate. Australian ED clinicians assess and treat high numbers of linguistically diverse patients, many with limited English proficiency. New South Wales Health policy mandates the use of accredited interpreters when collecting personal and health information, and when obtaining consent for m…
Care-giving dynamics and futures planning among ageing parents of adult offspring with intellectual disability
The number of older parents ageing in tandem with their adult children with intellectual disability (ID) is increasing. This unique situation calls for greater research that investigates how older parents experience this extended care-giving role, including the extent to which they are engaging in futures planning. Participants were recruited via disability service providers in South Australia. Using the theoretical perspective of hermeneutic phe…
