Sea Swift is a local Australian company based in the Northern Territory and Queensland. After struggling for years with fly in fly out employees the company has been working with Charles Darwin University TAFE to ensure there is a skilled local workforce. “Our barges are one of the only ways completely remote islands and communities have access to fresh food and essential supplies especially when roads can be cut off for long periods of time, we need a local workforce to ensure these services are not cut off,” Sea Swift General Manager Corporate Services Leanne Hulm.

🔰NEW RESEARCH🔰 Realist Needs Assessment Investigating the Factors Affecting Implementation of Guideline-Based Care for Chronic Pain in Rural Australia: Program Theory Generation 💻 https://lnkd.in/eSQU2WJD ✅ #openaccess 📗 International Journal of Qualitative Methods │ Sage Journals and Call for Papers AUTHORS 🟩 Ashley R. Grant, University of South Australia, Australia 🟩 Gill Westhorp, Northern Institute Charles Darwin University 🟩 Amelia Mardon, University of South Australia & Western Sydney University 🟩 Emma L. Karran, University of South Australia 🟩 Peter D. Hibbert, University of South Australia & Macquarie University 🟩 Christopher Roeger, Tumby Bay Medical, South Australia 🟩 G. Lorimer Moseley, University of South Australia ABSTRACT We developed a realist program theory describing factors that affect healthcare professionals’ delivery of guideline-based pain care in rural Australia as part of a realist-informed needs assessment. To our knowledge, this project is the first to apply a realist research approach to conducting a needs assessment. We conducted and analysed realist informed teacher-learner cycle interviews with rural healthcare professionals to inform our program theory. In these interviews, we presented participants with a summary of guideline recommendations for the assessment and management of chronic pain. We asked participants which recommendations they found easy and challenging to implement in their local setting, and discussed why, how, and in what circumstances this was the case. We detail how we analysed interview transcripts retroductively in NVivo and how the authorship team abstracted from the clinical scenarios provided by interviewees to generate theories at a ‘middle level’ of abstraction. Our discussion details lessons learned from the utilised methods with recommendations for how we would adapt these methods in the future. #CDUResearch #realistresearch #paincare #ruralhealthcare #chronicpainmanagement Charles Darwin University Steve Rogers Fiona Coulson Steven Greenland Adelle Sefton-Rowston Fiona Steele Australian Evaluation Society Asia Pacific Evaluation Association BetterEvaluation

💡NEW RESEARCH💡 A scoping review of Indigenous Cultural Mapping (ICM) of coastal, island, and marine environments 💻 https://lnkd.in/gVUtX8uE Elsevier 📘 Environmental Science & Policy - Vol 164 #openaccess AUTHORS 🔹 Redbird Ferguson, James Cook University, Australian Institute of Marine Science 🔹 Karen Joyce, James Cook University, Australian Institute of Marine Science 🔹 Christian Reepmeyer, James Cook University, University Commission for Archaeology of Non-European Cultures (KAAK), German Archaeological Institute (DAI) 🔹 Rachel Groom, Northern Institute Charles Darwin University 🔹 Kellie Pollard, Northern Institute Charles Darwin University HIGHLIGHTS ➡️Review articles were distributed around the globe, but most frequently situated in the United States, Australia, and Canada. ➡️The published research incorporating Indigenous knowledges has increased over the past two decades. ➡️Methods are poorly described, or defined, using a wide range of terms, with the majority described as participatory. ➡️Variations in levels of participation are perpetuating practices of tokenism and excluding Indigenous communities. ➡️Standards of practice and policies are needed to improve the interface between knowledge systems. #indigenous #seacountry #participatorymethod #culturalseascapes #CDUResearch Charles Darwin University Steve Rogers Ruth Wallace Steven Greenland Adelle Sefton-Rowston Raphaella Saroukos
