Background: The The Better Oral Health in Residential Care (BOHRC) Training was rolled out to Residential Aged Care Facilities (RACF) across Australia in 2010.
Aim: To examine aged care staff's views on the implementation of the BOHRC Training at their facilities; challenges that they faced in the provision of oral health care to residents and their training needs.
Methods: A qualitative study using semi-structured interviews was conducted with 20 staff across Tasmania. Interview data was thematically analysed.
Results: Major barriers reported were a lack of time, competing priorities, workload and staffing issues. The majority of participants did not receive the BOHRC training directly. Participants preferred to have practical, 'hands-on' training delivered on site at least every 12 months.
Conclusions: Oral hygiene training should be provided regularly to equip staff with knowledge and skills to overcome some of the challenges they face and to improve oral hygiene care provision to residents.

Objective: This study aims to provide initial effect size estimates of symptom change from pre- to post treatment, and the acceptance and safety of telehealth dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Studying the behavior of providers who transition patients in critical care may guide future interventions that ultimately improve patient safety in this setting.
Objective: To establish the feasibility of using the Theory of Planned Behavior in a trauma environment and to describe provider behavior elements during trauma patient transfers (de-escalations) to non-critical care units.
