Engaging with the sustainable development goals in healthcare settings: A qualitative study of postgraduate nursing students' experiences.

Healthcare education was traditionally delivered in a face-to-face format. Technological advances gradually integrated online components, with the COVID-19 pandemic accelerating this shift. There is a dearth in the literature postpandemic examining student's views since universities have adjusted and refined online provision. Previous research examines the views of medical and nursing students; postgraduate students of Health Professions' Education combining clinical roles with advanced study on healthcare education theory could hold valuable insights into the current experience of online learning. This was a qualitative study with an interpretivist paradigm. One-on-one semi-structured remote interviews were conducted with 15 postgraduate students of Health Professions' Education across six higher education institutes. Transcripts were analysed using Braun and Clarke's six-phase approach to reflexive thematic analysis. Four themes were identified. Convenience and flexibility enabled participants to integrate study into demanding clinical schedules. Social interaction and peer connection were reduced compared to in-person learning though the perceived importance of this varied based on stage of education. Engagement and participation challenges included difficulties sustaining attention online balanced with a positive experience of interactive teaching strategies. Finally, participants discussed their experiences of online assessments with some appreciating the convenience of remote exams, but concerns remained surrounding validity and technological stressors. Online education can provide a crucial adaptation particularly for postgraduate students. Sustaining engagement, fostering connection and ensuring reliable assessment depend on thoughtful pedagogical design and institutional support. As institutions continue to develop virtual programmes, learner-centred designs are critical to maximising educational outcomes.

Outcomes, barriers and enablers of post-registration education for Australian registered pharmacists: A qualitative descriptive study.

Engaging people with lived experience (PWLE) and family members (/F) in mental health and/or substance use health research is an increasingly common practice and has many benefits. However, challenges are also encountered; these challenges include the experience of unequal power dynamics on research teams. This pragmatic qualitative descriptive study aimed to understand the experience of power dynamics in mental health/substance use health research engagement contexts, using an engagement framework. Four focus group discussions were conducted with 18 PWLE/F aged 19-79 who had experience engaging in mental health and/or substance use research. A co-designed semi-structured interview guide was used. Discussions were audio recorded, transcribed, analysed using codebook thematic analysis and discussed with a Lived Experience Working Group. Three primary themes were generated from the data: (1) Leadership, knowledge and expertise generate power. (2) Power dynamics should be acknowledged and balanced to improve research quality. (3) Power can be shared through authentic engagement practices. While knowledge and expertise generate power, researchers are not the only ones to hold knowledge and expertise, which necessitates the sharing of power. The mitigating strategies to help research teams address power are consistent with recommendations for conducting authentic engagement as a whole. Following best practices for PWLE engagement can help balance power dynamics on engaged research teams. All aspects of this study were guided by a Lived Experience Working Group, from the identification of the research question to the interpretation and reporting of the results. People with lived experience and family members are co-authors on this manuscript.

Content validation and cultural adaptation are necessary to interpret evidence from psychological assessment instruments imported across cultures.

The ratio of psychologists to the population is vastly lower in rural communities compared to urban areas, and more clinicians are critically needed in rural Australia. Other health disciplines have implemented generalist frameworks and training to encourage and prepare clinicians to remain in rural practice. Research often references rural psychology practice in conjunction with the broader allied health discipline. Though prior research has identified skills needed for rural psychology practice, further research is needed to expand and update the current understanding of rural psychology competencies. Therefore, the current study explored the competencies and skills used by rural psychologists. Qualitative interviews with 15 rural psychologists from across Australia were conducted and analysed using a reflexive thematic approach. Participants spoke of the unique skills required to manage the challenges of rural practice, identifying eight thematic competencies: clinical skills, networking, cultural responsiveness, practitioner wellbeing, ethics, risk, professional development and telehealth. Themes highlighted the need for a discipline-specific approach to supporting rural psychologists in practice. Applications of this research, particularly towards supporting and retaining psychologists in rural Australia, are discussed.

What is known about the barriers and facilitators to physical activity participation among females with epilepsy: A scoping review.

There are several high-risk studies of children of parents with bipolar disorder (BD); however, the impact of being an "At-Risk" parent has seldom been studied. The aim is to explore how parents with BD perceive their potential heredity and how they feel toward their children being invited to take part in high-risk family studies. Qualitative semi-structured face-to-face interviews were conducted with 14 participants. All interviews were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed inductively using qualitative content analysis by researchers with different professional backgrounds. Data collection continued until no new themes emerged, suggesting data saturation. Five main themes were identified: (1) parenting outweighs genetics, (2) guilt-the emotional burden of parenting with bipolar disorder, (3) self-stigmatization, (4) challenges in communication within the family, and (5) reflections on participation in research. Parents often took on the role of a Bipolar-Detective, monitoring their child's mental health and took precautions hoping to prevent them from developing BD. Subtle differences were noted between mothers' and fathers' reflections. This was a qualitative study of selected families with BD parents; the findings should therefore be interpreted with caution. The participants were concerned about their children's well-being due to BD, emphasizing their own parenting challenges over genetic risk. Future studies should address parental fears alongside treating BD and offer guidance on communicating with their children. While most viewed high-risk family study participation positively, some worried about potential pathologizing of their children. These aspects are critical and noteworthy when engaging with children from high-risk families.
