Objective: To explore changes to rural nursing and allied health placements during the latter stage of the COVID-19 public health emergency.
Setting: Regional, rural and remote Australia.
Participants: Nursing and allied health students with a scheduled University Department of Rural Health (UDRH) facilitated rural placement between 1 January 2022 and 31 October 2022.
Article Synopsis
- Australia experiences frequent and increasingly severe floods due to climate change, prompting a surge in research on their health impacts without a previous synthesis of this evidence.
- A scoping review identified 69 publications from 1951 to 2023, with a focus on mental health issues like PTSD and child developmental outcomes, revealing a lack of attention on vulnerable populations and long-term effects.
- The findings highlight gaps in existing research and suggest areas for future studies, emphasizing the need for a broader understanding of climate-related health impacts and potential adaptation strategies.
Background: Limited evidence exists around authentic activities that can positively influence students' knowledge of and appreciation for the First Nations peoples' culture, impacts of colonisation and other determinants of health. A renewed Indigenous Health curriculum provided us with an opportunity to implement a cultural immersion for medical students to enhance their cultural awareness and competency.
Approach: Our approach towards the design and evaluation of cultural immersion was guided by three key frameworks-a strengths-based approach towards curriculum design, Indigenous ways of knowing and being and immersions as transformative pedagogy.
Article Synopsis
- - The article highlights the lack of understanding in treating service members with both mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), emphasizing the need for tailored mental health support.
- - It proposes an integrated treatment approach using a trauma-informed care (TIC) model that considers both psychological and cognitive aspects during rehabilitation, aimed specifically at service members and veterans.
- - By reviewing existing guidelines and suggesting a comprehensive diagnostic process, the article asserts that combining best practices can enhance treatment outcomes for those experiencing both mTBI and PTSD.
Background: To explore perspectives of work readiness, including readiness to work rurally, among health students trained in Australia during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods: Participants were allied health, medicine, and nursing students in the later years of their degree (third, fourth or final year of an undergraduate entry to practice degree, or second year of postgraduate entry to practice degree), where training is clinically immersive. These students had completed a University Department of Rural Health facilitated rural and remote placement between January 2021 and October 2022.
