Float[ing] in the Middle” Nurse Navigators and the Interface of Access to Care
The Australian health care system continues to struggle to meet the needs of people experiencing multiple complex chronic conditions. Australians who report poorer health continue to report poorer access to health care. Inequities in access are attributed to a "mistmatch" between the health care system and individuals' clinical and social needs. To address this misalignment at the interface of access, innovative approaches that consider both indi…
Delivery and outcomes of end‐of‐life care in the Australian context
Previous research on general practitioners' (GPs') involvement in end-of-life care has largely focused on a specific aspect of care or has provided broad overviews that failed to capture individual variations in patient management. This qualitative study aimed to explore Australian GPs' feedback and reflections on the individual-level care provided for patients in their last year of life. The findings of the study were drawn from a nation-wide su…
Comparison of end‐of‐life care for people living in home settings versus residential aged care facilities
We have little knowledge of differences in end-of-life care between home settings and residential aged care facilities (RACFs) where people spend most of their last year of life. This study aimed to compare end-of-life care between home settings and RACFs from the perspective of Australian general practitioners (GPs). A descriptive study was conducted with 62 GPs from Western Australia, Queensland and Victoria. Participants were asked to provide …
Cancer survivorship care and general practice
Primary care providers, including general practice teams (GPTs), are well positioned within the community to integrate cancer survivorship care into ongoing health management. However, roles of GPT members in delivery of cancer survivorship care have not been explored. The purpose of this study is to explore these roles from the perspectives of General Practitioners (GPs), Practice Nurses (PNs) and Practice Managers (PMs). An interpretive qualita…
Uptake of advance care planning and its circumstances
There are potential benefits associated with advance care planning (ACP), and general practitioners (GPs) are well placed to coordinate ACP initiatives with their patients. Few studies have reported on the uptake of different forms of advance care plan conducted by GPs and how this affects patients' place of death. The primary aims of the study were to examine uptake of verbal (conversations regarding care preferences) and written (documented car…
End‐of‐life care in rural and regional Australia
The study objective was to explore the characteristics of rural general practice which exemplify optimal end-of-life (EOL) care from the perspective of people diagnosed with cancer, their informal carers and general practitioners (GPs); and the extent to which consumers perceived that actual EOL care addressed these characteristics. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted with six people diagnosed with cancer, three informal carers an…
Identifying patients for palliative care in primary care in Brazil
Objective: To present the process of identification of palliative care patients in a Family Health Strategy ́s team in Brazil. Methods: The identification process ocurred 1) using the system of work of a Family Health Strategy Team and the principles of primary care and 2) by applying the SPICT, a tool to help identify patients who might benefit with palliative care. Results: Twenty-three patients were enrolled in the palliative care program at t…
Do N-of-1 Trials Need IRB Review
There is no standard policy regarding the regulatory or institutional approval of N-of-1 trials in the United States. The objective of this study was to examine whether institutional review boards (IRBs) accredited by the Association for the Accreditation of Human Research Protection Programs (AAHRPP) consider N-of-1 trials as meeting the definition of human subjects research (45CFR46.102) and requiring IRB approval. A questionnaire was distribut…
‘The onus is on me’
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: This study investigated the views of primary care patients in receipt of Medicare-funded team care for chronic disease management (CDM) in Australia. DESIGN: A qualitative study using a repeat in-depth interview design. PARTICIPANTS AND SETTING: Twenty-three patients (17 female), aged 32-89, were recruited over a six-month period from two purposively selected general practices: one urban and one regional practice in Quee…
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for depression following psychosis
Helping lay carers of people with advanced cancer and their GPs to talk
The lay caregiving role is integral to advanced cancer care but places carers' health at risk. A supportive General Practitioner (GP) can help primary lay carers manage their health, if they disclose their concerns. A Needs Assessment Tool for Caregivers (NAT-C) was developed for carers to self-complete and use as the basis of a GP consultation, then tested in a randomised controlled trial. This paper reports a qualitative research study to deter…
General Practitioners’ perceptions of their role in cancer care and factors which influence this role
Effective cancer care depends on inter-sectoral and inter-professional communication. General Practitioners (GPs) play a pivotal role in managing the health of most Australians, but their role in cancer care is unclear. This qualitative study explored GPs' views of this role and factors influencing their engagement with cancer care. Twelve metropolitan and non-metropolitan GPs in Queensland, Australia, were recruited between April and May 2008, a…
