Expertise
Professor Stirling was a founding member of the Transforming Research in Ageing (TRiA) Group
The TRiA Group studies the social, psychological and biological factors that support ageing well and aims to improve the delivery of health services, nursing practice and care with translation and improved health for older people as primary outcomes.
The TRiA Group is committed to expanding awareness and promoting research in ageing and increasing the impact of research in ageing through collaboration with stakeholders. We are a mix of early, mid and senior interdisciplinary researchers from the University of Tasmania researching areas of dementia, palliative care, physical activity, new models of care and hospital avoidance.
Our research produces outcomes and has impact and comprises four pillars:
Pillar 1: Conduct rigorous translational research,
Pillar 2: Contribute to health services development through enabling evidence-informed practice and integrated care delivery
Pillar 3: Build capacity in the health and aged care workforce
Pillar 4: Conduct co-designed research
Professor Stirling has a broad knowledge of research methodologies across disciplines and sectors including
- Mixed methods – multiple case study
- Quantitative methods including descriptive statistics, logistical regression, survey data collection, census and linked database use
- Qualitative methods including discourse analysis, grounded theory, qualitative descriptive research
Research Themes
Professor Stirling’s research aligns with the University's research theme of Better Health. Christine leads the Transforming Research in Ageing Theme which has intradisciplinary membership from across the College of Health and Medicine. In order to transform ageing in Australia the group aim to increase understanding of the intersection between the psychological, physiological elements of ageing and older peoples’ personal and social lives. Our research also focuses on improving the capacity of policy makers, health services, and clinicians to meet the needs of older people in their environmental context.
Christine’s research addresses the key challenges facing global health care: rapid increases in the aged needing health services and subsequent health worker shortages. She has improved experiences for older Australians through pioneering person-centred research to promote voice and improve access for older people. Christine has both increased knowledge in the areas of dementia and rural health and developed tools/services (for example decision aids and walk-in memory clinics) to translate her research into practice. Ensuring her work has impact is a hallmark of Christine’s research, beginning with engaging key stakeholders to identify research problems through to ensuring the translation of research results, with demonstrated impact on policy and practice.
Themes of research are
- Improving consumer centred care by giving voice to older people, those at risk of elder abuse
- Improving access to integrated services for older people, particularly people with complex conditions such as frailty and dementia.
- The support needs of the informal workforce including ambulance volunteers and dementia carers
- Evaluating health service innovations that improve access to reablement, chronic disease management and palliative care at the appropriate point of a persons’ life course.

- Description
- Aneurysmal subarachnoid haemorrhage (aSAH) is a rare form of stroke that kills up to 40% of sufferers within 1 month. Outcome can be improved through quickly receiving medical care but many people do not and this likely contributes to the poor outcomes. The REDucing Delays In Subarachnoid Haemorrhage (REDDISH) study will look at cases of aSAH across Tasmanian and Victoria so that we can understand the factors that contribute to delays in treatment and ultimately improve outcomes.

- Description
- To develop and pilot a patient decision aid to help families of children and adolescents with Type 1 Diabetes make decisions about using insulin pumps. As every family is unique, the aid will help families to consider all the issues that may affect their ability to manage insulin pump therapy. We will base the decision aid on evidence in the literature and information from patients and families and expert advisors. We will trial the decision aid with families to see how useful they found the aid and whether it made the decision seem easier and changed their treatment preferences.
