Projects
- Description
- This PhD scholarship builds upon the funded reablement project, in partnership with Family Based Care in Northern Tasmania. The study will explore ways in which clients and carers of clients of Family Based Care can be engaged better with the reablement process. Outcomes are likely to be structures and processes that provide better support for these clients and carers in the community. It fits into the Aged Care priority for the School of Nursing, as well as Health Services research.

- Description
- Providing comprehensive high-quality care for people with diabetes is complex and relatively resource intensive. Best practice care is constantly changing and keeping abreast of latest research is an expectation of health care practitioners and is time consuming to maintain. The Regional Integrated Diabetes Education (RIDE) program delivers diabetes education for health care practitioners through the John Morris Diabetes Centre (JMDC). Although the JMDC plays a key role in managing complex diabetes patients across the north of the state and delivers education to health care practitioners who deliver primary care, service gaps remain, and as such this project aims to build stronger links with primary care providers by evaluating the education program RIDE. The University of Tasmania have been engaged to undertake an evaluation of the RIDE program through telephone interviews with those who participate in the program. A model such as Kirkpatrick's model will be utilised to theme the data with the aim to determine the overall applicability, feasibility and educational value for clients.

- Description
- The proposal has two key elements: the expanded delivery of an education program designed to reduce trauma in youth and research into that program to understand risk related behaviour in Tasmanian youth, impact of the program on that behaviour and to identify the elements of the program which are critical to engagement of attendees which may subsequently benefit future iterations. The program seeks to give participants a snapshot of the possible traumatic and often preventable consequences of risk related behaviour. Program participants spend time in the Emergency Department, Intensive Care Unit, Trauma wards and rehabilitation units of the hospital getting an upfront, true life experience of the impact of trauma on young lives. One of the unique parts of the program is that participants get to meet real hospital patients who are recovering from recent trauma and their families. Participants of the program are typically identified by their respective schools and are usually either s tudents considered to be at risk or school leaders who then support their peers.In addition to expanded implementation of the program, the project team are seeking funding to undertake further research int o the efficacy of this program. The specific research question is 'At what point in the P.A.R.T.Y. program do youths identify with the subject matter as relating directly to them and how does this moment influence risk related choices'.The research aims are:-To evaluate the risk related behaviours of participants in relation to demographic discriminators-To identify the elements of the program which have the highest impact on participants-To understand the short term impact of the program on current and future risk taking behaviours in rural and urban settingsData is collected via questionnaire pre-program, on completion of the program and at three month follow up. Data analysis uses simple descriptive statistics and thematic analysis.This original research will be published in a recognised HERDC journal.
