The relationship between early maladaptive schemas and non-consensual condom removal in an Australian sample
Non-consensual condom removal (NCCR) is a form of sexual violence involving the removal of a condom before or during sexual intercourse without a partner’s knowledge or consent. There is evidence linking the perpetration of non-consensual condom removal to personality characteristics associated with condom use resistance (CUR) tactics and broader categories of sexual violence. The current study aimed to expand on this research by examining NCCR i…
Early Maladaptive Schemas and Risky Sexual Behavior
Objectives Risky sexual behaviors (RSB; e.g., condomless sex with strangers) contribute to global health epidemics by facilitating the transmission of STIs and increasing exposure to sexual violence, particularly in younger populations. Therefore, understanding the etiological factors influencing RSB is crucial for informing tailored prevention and intervention approaches. Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS) offer a potential etiological explanation …
The psychosocial outcomes of young carers in Australia
Young carers in Australia are people aged under 25 who undertake a substantial familial caring role. A range of associated disadvantages with this practice have been identified, however, no systematic literature review currently exists to consolidate the Australian research. Articles were included if they used a broadly quantitative methodology, were in English, and published since 2002 using original, contemporary Australian data and specificall…
Research Note—Developing Key Performance Indicators for Social Work Field Education in Australia
Field education is the most challenging aspect of social work education and there are unprecedented challenges currently measuring good practice with quality outcomes. Thus, it’s important to have competency-based key performance indicators (KPIs) to assess social work professional practice. This study is a national, mixed-methods Delphi research study with three rounds. Round 1 required participants (N=46) to provide open-text qualitative respon…
Using simulation to prepare social work students for field education
This research explores the use of simulation technology in supporting and preparing social work students (n = 336) for core professional skills needed for practice. This study utilized a randomized experimental design using a 3 × 3 between-subjects design to assess the impact of the type of simulation (e.g. traditional written case studies, video-based simulations, and live actor simulations) and type of scenario (e.g. family/domestic violence, s…
Young adults recount their experiences as young carers in Australia
Young carers represent a poorly understood subset of Australian youth. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 young Australian adults who undertook an informal caring role prior to the age of 20. Findings indicate that providing care to a loved one as a child or adolescent is a difficult task that appears highly transformative, with effects that continue into young adulthood. Several common factors were identified, includi…

Integrating the Soliya Connect Program into a Classroom Course on Critical Intercultural Communication
This paper presents a two-year pedagogical, teacher-as-researcher, action research project at the Faculty of Arts and Humanities, University of Sousse, Tunisia, which investigates how the integration of the Soliya Connect Program, a facilitated dialogic online exchange programme, with a theoretical course on critical intercultural communication helped students develop critical interculturality. Despite some initial concern about the extra time co…
Investigating the relationship between non-consensual condom removal and the dark triad of personality
Whilst some research has been conducted into those who engage in non-consensual condom removal, the aim of the study was to explore the relationship between Dark Triad of Personality traits (i.e. machiavellianism, narcissism, psychopathy) and arousal from, intention to engage in, and reported behavioural history of non-consensual condom removal (i.e. stealthing), which is a type of sexual violence. Results found that there were associations betwe…
Exploring the Relationships Between Internalised Stigma, Loneliness, and Mental Well-Being Among Sex Workers
Sex work is one of the most stigmatised professions in the world. Although research examining other stigmatised populations has found associations between internalised stigma, increased loneliness, and poorer mental well-being, there is limited research examining these associations for sex workers. This is concerning, considering Corrigan’s theory that internalised stigma, as well as external stigma, reduces opportunities of stigmatised persons. …
Internet Use by People with Intellectual Disability
Many people with intellectual disability experience digital inequality due to a lack of Internet access; this is known as the digital divide . Digital inequality is also apparent when people with intellectual disability have Internet access, but only use it for a small number of applications (e.g., watching videos and playing games). Recently, it has been suggested that digital inequality also occurs in situations where some Internet users are le…
Simulation and Skills Development
Social work field education is facing unprecedented challenges (e.g., increasing student numbers and limited availability of complex scenario placements due to the COVID pandemic). Students need skills in complex scenarios, but exposure to these situations are limited in available placements. This article explored the literature on using simulation in Australian social work education and addressed the challenges and opportunities surrounding this…

People with intellectual disabilities on probation
The two studies in this paper aim to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of people with intellectual disabilities in the probation service in England. Study one screened the abilities of a sample of 70 probationers in one single probation service. Study two compares a sub‐set of these to an equal number of control participants in order to further investigate the characteristics of those with intellectual disability on probation. Nearly…
Improving understanding and recall of the probation service contract
The role of the probation service within the Criminal Justice System is to provide support to probationees so they can serve out their probation orders in accordance with certain regulations. These regulations are expressed in a formal contract. The current article reports an assessment of the readability of the current Kent Probation Service's users' contract. A Flesch (1948) analysis of the original document indicated that it required an IQ of …
