Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to create and test a new framework called PACE (Population And ContExt) for adapting patient decision aids (PtDAs), specifically focusing on contraceptive options for Chinese-speaking migrant women in Australia.
- The PACE framework included six stages: selection and appraisal, content expert review, pre-testing for usability, translation, assessing decisional needs, and testing acceptability and feasibility,
- The pilot results showed that the adapted PtDAs were well-received by users, and the study highlighted the need for a flexible, team-based approach for successful adaptation in diverse contexts.
Purpose: This position paper aims to: (1) summarise the current state of the Australian disability support sector and its need to advance training practices that enhance empathetic behaviours; (2) Highlight how virtual reality technology is currently being deployed in training in the sector; and (3) highlight challenges that may arise from a lack of user acceptance testing and user experience design considerations, and why future studies are needed to explore these factors.
Background: The disability support industry has responded to new market demands for DSWs to provide quality supports that take a client-centred approach. To achieve this, some disability service providers have turned to virtual reality.
Article Synopsis
- Current data only shows who is under-vaccinated in children but not why, making it essential to investigate underlying reasons for low vaccine coverage.
- This study created and validated the Vaccine Barriers Assessment Tool (VBAT) in Australia through three phases, beginning with identifying potential parental barriers, then refining it with surveys, ultimately condensing it to key items.
- The final versions of the VBAT include a 6-item short form and a 15-item long form that evaluate various factors influencing vaccine acceptance and access, and the tool will be used for national tracking in Australia, with plans for adaptation to other contexts.
Background: Total knee arthroplasty (TKA) is a common procedure employed to treat end-stage osteoarthritis. While TKA is generally believed to have acceptable outcomes, many patients report pain or functional deficits not in line with their expectation following the procedure. It has been postulated that patient's pre-operative expectations regarding post-operative treatment outcomes play a significant role in satisfaction.
