Development and Psychometric Evaluation of the Together Family‐Reported Experience Measure of Nurse‐Facilitated Family Engagement in Adult Acute Care
BACKGROUND: Family engagement improves outcomes, shortens hospital stays, and enhances patient and family experiences, yet remains inconsistently enacted despite nurses' pivotal role. Existing instruments focus on paediatrics or critical care, measure activation rather than enacted engagement, or lack robust psychometric evidence. No family-reported measure captures nurse-facilitated engagement in general adult acute care. OBJECTIVE: To develop a…
From Marginalization to Inclusion
Despite growing awareness of sexuality and gender diverse (SGD) youth's educational challenges, limited research examines how alternative education settings support these students' wellbeing and engagement. This qualitative study investigated how Australian Flexible Learning Options (FLOs) foster inclusivity and belonging for SGD youth, comparing their experiences with mainstream schooling. Semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 11 SGD st…
Understanding the mechanisms underlying the socioeconomic disparities in cancer screening among Australian women
This study is the first to investigate the effects of individual level SES on cancer screening in Australia and one of the few studies to examine underlying mechanisms simultaneously across various screening programs. Reducing stress and improving screening literacy may help to improve cancer screening participation among low SES individuals. Our results also suggest that tailoring interventions to the SES background of women may not enhance thei…
Co-designing planning interventions to facilitate participation in mail-out bowel cancer screening
These novel, consumer-led interventions that are built upon the needs and experience of screening invitees provide potential solutions to improve participation in population bowel cancer screening
A thematic analysis of the personal factors influencing mental health help‐seeking in farmers
PURPOSE: It is crucial to understand the micro-level personal factors that impact farmer mental health help-seeking, given that farmers are at increased risk of suicide yet show reduced mental health help-seeking behaviors. METHODS: Ten farmers, 10 farmers' partners, and 8 general practitioners (ie, family physicians) from Australia completed qualitative semi-structured interviews. Braun and Clarke's method of thematic analysis was used to analyz…
The Impact on Employment for Rural Cancer Patients and Their Caregivers Travelling to Major Cities for Treatment
Purpose. A cancer diagnosis significantly impacts daily life, particularly for those living outside of major cities who must travel to receive cancer treatment. This study investigated the impact of cancer and travelling for treatment on the employment of rural cancer patients and their caregivers. Methods. Cancer patients staying in subsidised accommodation lodges in Queensland, and their nominated caregivers, described employment status prior t…
Development and psychometric testing of the patient participation in bedside handover survey
INTRODUCTION: When handover is conducted at the patient's bedside, active patient participation can be encouraged, which may improve the safety and quality of care. There is a need for valid and reliable tools to measure patient perceptions of participation in bedside handover, to ensure the rising number of implementation and improvement efforts are consistently and effectively evaluated. The aim of this study is to systematically develop and ev…
Farming is not Just an Occupation [but] a Whole Lifestyle
The aim of this study was to understand the 'farming life' factors that affect the mental health help-seeking of farmers. Semi-structured interviews were completed with 10 farmers, 10 farmers' partners, and eight General Practitioners (GPs), covering mental health help-seeking. Interview data were then analysed using thematic analysis resulting in three themes: Lifestyle and culture, farming priorities, and the challenges of farming. The findings…
Patience mediates the relationship between mindfulness and pain in patients with cardiovascular diseases
The aim of the present study was to investigate the mediating role of patience in the relationship between mindfulness and pain among patients with cardiovascular disease. A cross-sectional design was employed. One hundred and ten patients with cardiovascular diseases were conveniently sampled from the clinic of Imam Reza in the city of Shiraz in Iran. Participants completed self-report measures of mindfulness, patience, and pain. Structural equa…
Meditative insight
Meditative insight is conceptualised as being at the core of change mechanisms in meditation and mindfulness. Although this construct is fundamental in traditional meditation theories, it has not yet received attention in scientific work. Drawing on traditional Buddhist formulations of meditation, this study outlines the development and psychometric analysis of a new instrument to assess meditative insight. Self-report data on positive and negati…
Is theConscience CollectiveBlack and White
This article takes as its theme the black and white photography that forms a common record of occupations and kinship ties in the fishing communities of West Cornwall. These photographs also form the iconography by which tourists remember their holiday experience there. The essay explores tourists' acquisition of photographs through the assertion first put forward by Sontag [1977 Sontag , Susan 1977 Image World . In her On Photography . Pp. 153 –…
Time to Fight
Democratic peace arguments make compelling claims about the importance of regime type for explaining conflict but do not explain the variation in conflict propensity among states that share a common regime type. The authors develop a veto-player approach to capture the effects of executive constraint and argue that in parliamentary democracies, cabinet structure and allies influence states' conflict behavior. A hazard analysis is used to examine …
