Quantifying co-extinctions and ecosystem service vulnerability in coastal ecosystems experiencing climate warming.

Climate change is negatively impacting ecosystems and their contributions to human well-being, known as ecosystem services. Previous research has mainly focused on the direct effects of climate change on species and ecosystem services, leaving a gap in understanding the indirect impacts resulting from changes in species interactions within complex ecosystems. This knowledge gap is significant because the loss of a species in a food web can lead to additional species losses or "co-extinctions," particularly when the species most impacted by climate change are also the species that play critical roles in food web persistence or provide ecosystem services.

Clinical outcomes and financial estimates for women attending the largest private midwifery service in Australia compared to national data: a retrospective cohort study.

Background And Problem: Multiple barriers to national scale-out of private midwifery practice in Australia exist.

Aim: To describe and compare maternal infant health outcomes of the largest private midwifery service in Australia with the national core maternity indicators and estimate the financial impact on collaborating public hospitals.

Methods: A retrospective cohort of 2747 maternal health records from 2014 to 2022 were compared to national indicators.

"You don't want to know just about my lungs, you…want to know more about me". Patients and their caregivers' evaluation of a nurse-led COPD supportive care service.

Aim: To evaluate a nurse-led model of supportive care in a COPD outpatient service from patient and caregiver perspectives.

Design: Case study methodology.

Methods: Data were collected from semi-structured interviews with patients (n = 12) and caregivers (n = 7) conducted between April 2020 and September 2022.

Enabling the context for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Birthing on Country services: Participatory action research.

Problem: Establishment of Birthing on Country services owned and governed by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Community Controlled Health Services has been slow.

Background: Birthing on Country services have demonstrated health and cost benefits and require redesign of maternity care. During the Building On Our Strengths feasibility study, use of endorsed midwives and licensing of birth centres has proven difficult.

Embedding nurse-led supportive care in an outpatient service for patients with Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease.

Aim: To describe a small multidisciplinary team's experience of the process of embedding nurse-led supportive care into an existing Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease outpatient service.

Design: Case study methodology METHODS: Data were collected from multiple sources including key documents and semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals (n = 6) conducted between June and July 2021. A purposive sampling strategy was used.
