Abstract:

Many industries, including healthcare, are trying to take advantage of voice assistant systems by incorporating their technology into the industries’ environment. However, not many companies or researchers have successfully integrated this technology into the daily practice of healthcare practitioners. Doctors, nurses and other healthcare practitioners spend much of their interaction time with patients clicking on the Electronic Medical Record (EMR) screen trying to access and update data. An important contribution of this research is to analyze this healthcare need for this technology in the

Abstract:

As a practitioner involved in the planning and development of educational activities in the field of public health, I have worked within many pedagogical traditions and program parameters. Through this work, I have experienced both subtle and radical shifts in the range of skills, knowledge and relationships required to collaboratively plan and evaluate educational work. In this professional and community-based landscape, competing and often overlapping models of education and evaluation have led to much conceptual confusion and ambiguity around narrowly defined notions of best practice, evide

Abstract:

The debates related to the representation of the mentally ill in the media have been wide ranging over the last 20 years. Emergent representations have often been stigmatizing, claiming that the mentally ill are violent and dangerous. This study used an emergent methodological design to explore what the current representations of the mentally ill were and identify a case study from the available representations. It then examined the influence that the case study had on the thoughts and practice of experienced mental health practitioners. The study involved 8 practitioners and identified though

Ten to fifteen per cent of women from affluent countries, utilising private health care services are diagnosed with Postnatal Depression (PND) annually. Despite the high prevalence and the negative consequences for mother, child and partner, PND remains largely undiagnosed. Thus, this study explored health practitioners' experience of and attitude towards screening for postnatal depression to explore the barriers to screening as well as potential mechanisms to improve the rate of detection.

Abstract:

In multicultural and multilingual Australia, mental health practitioners (MHPs) are increasingly attending to the psychological needs of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) people. Most clinical interactions occur in English, which is the CALD clients’ non-native language, making it a challenging task for clients and practitioners. Language is the main vehicle of assessment, diagnosis, and treatment in most Western models of mental health care. Even so, minimal attention has been paid in policy, research, and practice to MHPs’ language diversity related competence to work effectively

Background: Primary care practitioners are at the forefront of the health service and therefore have an opportunity to promote oral health, manage certain oral conditions, or refer appropriately to the closest dental service.
