Getting Ours? "Girlbossing" and the Ethics of Nurse Reimbursement Models.

Introduction: This article politicizes a reimbursement model proposed by some professional nursing associations that aim to better align the price of nursing labor (nurses' pay) to the value of nursing and make nurses' contributions more visible.

Methods: Using the concept of "missing care," the critique reveals how professionalization directs attention to individual-level interactions between care seekers and practitioners while obscuring from view the harm inflicted by social institutions and structures constitutive of a capitalist political economy and the related carceral state.

Results: Direct reimbursement models render practitioners complicit in the harms perpetrated and perpetuated by the health care industrial complex while professionalization processes are deployed to reduce cognitive dissonance (and moral injury) produced by combining harm with nursing's normative principles.

A remotely accessible plant-based culinary intervention for Latina/o/x adults at risk for diabetes: lessons learned.

Introduction: Little research has examined how community-engaged and -participatory dietary interventions adapted to remotely-accessible settings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Nursing science as a federally-recognized STEM degree: A call to action for the United States with global implications.

Nursing science contributes to advancements in patient care, public health, and innovation within numerous scientific domains. Despite commonality with United States Department of Education definitions of a science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) educational programs, nursing continues to be excluded from Department of Homeland Security STEM classification. This exclusion prevents societal recognition of nursing as a science and limits attraction of clinicians and nurse scientists born outside of the United States due to omission from various federal visa provisions the Department of Homeland Security classification provides.

Thunderstorm Asthma Epidemic-A Systematic Review of the General Practice Perspective.

Thunderstorm asthma (TA) epidemics have been recognized globally as a rare phenomenon, producing a rapid surge of acute asthma presentations leading to an increased demand on emergency medical services and healthcare resources. General practitioners (GPs) are well placed in the community to contribute to healthcare during TA epidemics and similar disaster events. The aim of this review was to synthesize current evidence of the experiences of GPs during TA epidemics and similar surge events.

Peer support groups, mobile phones and refugee women in Melbourne.

In this article, we discuss qualitative findings basing on the experiences of refugee women living in Melbourne, Australia, who participated in a peer support training programme and received a free mobile phone. We pay attention to social support as a health enhancing strategy and empowerment that occurred among the participants. Participation in peer support groups and access to a mobile phone were beneficial for the women.

Social connectedness and mobile phone use among refugee women in Australia.

The aim of this research was to inform the development of mobile phone-assisted health promotion programmes that support social connectedness among refuge women to enhance their mental, physical and social health. For refugees, relationship development during the early stages of resettlement is often difficult. Enhancing personal skills, and resources, can enhance relationships that provide social support.

Learning from the implementation of inter-organisational web-based care planning and coordination.

In Victoria, despite strong policy support, e-care planning and coordination is poorly developed. The action research project discussed here was developed to overcome organisational and worker-level barriers to change. The project outcomes highlighted the need for work on the building blocks of e-care coordination that enhance workers' knowledge and skills, and provide permission and support for appropriate collaborative system and services coordination practices.

Constant connections: piloting a mobile phone-based peer support program for Nuer (southern Sudanese) women.

This study was a pilot to find out how to use mobile phone-based peer support to improve the psychosocial health of, and facilitate settlement in a group of nine Nuer refugee women in Melbourne, Australia. Nine participants recruited by a community leader received peer support training over two five-week periods.

Health promotion interventions to address climate change using a primary health care approach: a literature review.

Issue Addressed: This project explored the literature in which key concepts in primary health care and health promotion are overtly applied to the problem of climate change. This paper contains a discussion of the literature relevant to health promotion principles and intervention strategies for addressing climate change mitigation and adaptation in the primary health care sector. The concept of primary health care is that used by the World Health Organization, based on the Declaration of Alma Ata and often referred to as comprehensive primary health care to differentiate it from primary medical care.

Emergency department presentations of Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Straight Islander people.

This paper explains how routinely collected data can be used to examine the emergency department attendances of Victorian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. The data reported in the Victorian Emergency Minimum Dataset (VEMD) for the 2006/2007 financial year were analysed. The presentations of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander and non-Aboriginal people were compared in terms of age, gender, hospital location (metropolitan and rural) and presenting condition.

Making partnerships work: issues of risk, trust and control for managers and service providers.

Trust is widely recognised is a core feature of partnership relationships and one that facilitates joint work. It is an issue that must be addressed if partnerships are to enhance service system integration. In recent literature trust has been linked to concepts of risk and control.

Managing risk: risk perception, trust and control in a Primary Care Partnership.

In this article, managers' perceptions of risk on entering a newly formed primary health care partnership are explored, as are the mechanisms of trust and control used to manage them. The article reports a qualitative component of a 2-year National Health and Medical Research Council funded study of trust within the structures of a Primary Care Partnership (PCP) in Victoria, Australia. Multiple methods of data collection were employed.

Community perspectives on the impact of policy change on linking social capital in a rural community.

Understanding what undermines or builds social capital is important when estimating the impact that changes in social capital have on people's lives. The aim of this paper is to illustrate how the consequences of neo-liberal policy initiatives have impacted on linking social capital in one small and vibrant rural community in Australia. Policy changes affecting all levels of government and various commercial agencies have undermined people's capability for a range of actions which bring personal and community-wide social and economic returns.
