description: © 2018 Whiteside, Aleti, Pallant & Zeleznikow. Internet access in Australia is increasing with the most popular online activity reported by Australians being social media use. The literature is divided as to whether social media use is helpful or harmful to intimate relationships. Recent research from an Australian family counselling provider indicates that social media use is resulting in negative intimate relationship outcomes, echoing recent American research findings. However, other researchers note that social media use can have positive outcomes for intimate relationships and individuals. These different findings prompted this research which focuses on the impact of social media usage on intimate relationships using Facebook as a case study. A survey of 518 Australians examining Facebook usage, relationship satisfaction and household income was undertaken. The results suggest that relationship satisfaction varies based on types of social media usage when controlled for household income. For most respondents, social media usage did not have a negative impact on their relationship. However, results indicated that where their partner was a 'friend' on social media, they were less likely to report concerns relating to social media usage impacting their relationship. It was also found that those living alone or with children on low incomes were more likely to be dissatisfied with their relationships and rely on social media to connect with others. Finally, four types of Facebook usage were identified and mapped against intensity of usage and relationship satisfaction, indicating that the way in which social media is used impacts relationship satisfaction. These findings indicate that social media use is helpful for some intimate relationships and harmful for others based on individual usage and their interaction with their partner via the platform.

description: The growing rise in the number of self-represented litigants has negative implications for both the court system and access to justice. The expanding use of Artificial Intelligence and the World Wide Web has led to the development and use of Online Dispute Resolution. In this article, we investigate a number of systems in Australian Family Law that enhance Alternative Dispute Resolution and Access to Justice. We discuss how a hybrid system that incorporates advice about Best Alternatives to Negotiated Agreements (BATNAs) and potential trade-offs as well as allowing online communication can enhance access to justice.

description: © 2020 The Author(s). Objectives: Symptoms of depression are highly prevalent and under-treated in residential aged care facilities. Behavioural activation is a simple, cost-effective psychosocial intervention that might be appropriate to help reduce depression and improve well-being in this setting. The purpose of this study was to investigate the feasibility and efficacy of an 8-week, volunteer-led behavioural activation intervention designed for depressed aged care residents. Method: This feasibility study employed a single-arm design, where outcomes were measured at baseline, post-intervention and 3-month follow-up. Aged care residents with depressive symptoms were invited to participate, and healthy volunteers were trained to deliver the intervention. Intervention feasibility was assessed on six a priori-determined domains. Depression, anxiety and flourishing were included as outcomes using intention-to-treat analysis. Result: Seventeen aged care residents with depressive symptoms and 13 volunteers were successfully recruited within the expected 6-month timeframe. Both residents and volunteers were satisfied with the intervention (7/8), and there was a high (87%) completion rate. The intervention was associated with a large and statistically significant reduction in resident depressive symptoms, d = - 1.14, with the effect increasing to d = 2.82 when comparing baseline to 3-month follow-up. Anxiety reduced from mild symptoms at baseline mean = 6.17 (5.12) to the subclinical range post-intervention, mean = 3.53 (4.29) (g = 0.61, p = 0.03). Conclusion: This 8-week volunteer-led behavioural activation intervention was found to be feasible and acceptable to depressed aged care residents. The intervention was effective in ameliorating depression. A larger randomized controlled trial is warranted.

description: © 2020 The Author(s). Background: The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) that first occurred in Wuhan, China, is currently spreading throughout China. The majority of infected patients either traveled to Wuhan or came into contact with an infected person from Wuhan. Investigating members of the public with a travel history to Wuhan became the primary focus of the Chinese government's epidemic prevention and control measures, but several instances of withheld histories were uncovered as localized clusters of infections broke out. This study investigated the public's willingness and beliefs associated with reporting travel history to high-risk epidemic regions, to provide effective suggestions and measures for encouraging travel reporting. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted online between February 12 and 19, 2020. Descriptive analysis, chi-squared test, and Fisher's exact test were used to identify socio-demographic factors and beliefs associated with reporting, as well as their impact on the willingness to report on travel history to high-risk epidemic regions. Results: Of the 1344 respondents, 91 (6.77%) expressed an inclination to deliberately withhold travel history. Those who understood the benefits of reporting and the legal consequences for deliberately withholding information, showed greater willingness to report their history (P < 0.05); conversely, those who believed reporting would stigmatize them and feared being quarantined after reporting showed less willingness to report (P < 0.05). Conclusions: As any incident of withheld history can have unpredictable outcomes, the proportion of people who deliberately withhold information deserves attention. Appropriate public risk communication and public advocacy strategies should be implemented to strengthen the understanding that reporting on travel history facilitates infection screening and prompt treatment, and to decrease the fear of potentially becoming quarantined after reporting. Additionally, social support and policies should be established, and measures should be taken to alleviate stigmatization and discrimination against potential patients and reporters of travel history. Reinforcing the legal accountability of withholding travel history and strengthening systematic community monitoring are the measures that China is currently taking to encourage reporting on travel history to high-risk epidemic regions. These non-pharmaceutical interventions are relevant for countries that are currently facing the spread of the epidemic and those at risk of its potential spread.

description: © 2020 THE AUTHORS Aqueous solutions of tertiary amines are promising absorbents for CO2 capture, as they are typically characterized by a high absorption capacity, low heat of reaction, and low corrosivity. However, tertiary amines also exhibit very low kinetics of CO2 absorption, which has made them unattractive options for large-scale utilization. Here, a series of novel nanoporous carbonaceous promoters (NCPs) with different properties were synthesized, characterized, and used as rate promoters for CO2 absorption in aqueous N, N-diethylethanolamine (DEEA) solutions. To prepare a DEEA–NCP nanofluid, NCPs were dispersed into aqueous 3 mol·L−1 DEEA solution using ultrasonication. The results revealed that among microporous (GC) and mesoporous (GS) carbonaceous structures functionalized with ethylenediamine (EDA) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) molecules, the GC–EDA promoter exhibited the best performance. A comparison between DEEA–GC–EDA nanofluid and typical aqueous DEEA solutions highlighted that the GC-EDA promoter enhances the rate of CO2 absorption at 40 °C by 38.6% (36.8–50.7 kPa·min−1) and improves the equilibrium CO2 absorption capacity (15 kPa; 40 °C) by 13.2% (0.69–0.78 mol of CO2 per mole of DEEA). Moreover, the recyclability of DEEA–GC–EDA nanofluid was determined and a promotion mechanism is suggested. The outcomes demonstrate that NCP–GC–EDA in tertiary amines is a promising strategy to enhance the rate of CO2 absorption and facilitate their large-scale deployment.

description: © 2020 The Authors The abyssal seafloor of the Clarion Clipperton Zone (CCZ) in the central Pacific has the largest known deposits of polymetallic nodules and associated benthic faunal communities with high biodiversity. The environmental factors that structure these communities, both at regional and local scales, are not well understood. In this study, seabed image surveys were used to assess distribution patterns in invertebrate and fish megafauna (>1 cm) at multiple scales in relation to key environmental factors: food supply to the seabed varying at the regional scale (hundreds of km), seabed geomorphological variations varying at the broad local scale (tens of km), and seabed nodule cover varying at the fine local scale (tens of meters). We found significant differences in megafaunal density and community composition between all study areas. Variations in faunal density did not appear to match with regional productivity gradients, although faunal density generally decreased with increasing water depth (from E to W). In contrast, geomorphology and particularly nodule cover appeared to exert strong control on local faunal abundance and community composition, but not in species richness. Local variations in faunal density and beta-diversity, particularly those driven by nodule presence (within study areas), were of comparable magnitude to those observed at a regional level (between study areas). However, regional comparisons of megabenthic assemblages showed clear shifts in dominance between taxonomic groups (perceivable even at Phylum levels) across the mid-eastern CCZ seabed, suggesting a higher regional heterogeneity than was previously thought.

description: This is a thesis about the main drivers of regulatory change. Departing from theoretical approaches focused on the ‘policy process’ – such as the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF) and the Narrative Policy Framework (NPF) – this work investigates the main reasons behind the marked changes that occurred in the regulation of three Brazilian environmental policy areas between 2005 and 2015. The policy areas under investigation are Forestry, in particular the approval of a new Forest Code in 2012; Access to Genetic Resources and Benefit Sharing, specifically the new 2015 law on the topic (Lei 13.123/2015); and Pesticides, in particular, regulatory changes concerning the registration and use of new products.
 In order to assess the reasons for regulatory change in these three areas, this thesis qualifies the latest version of the Advocacy Coalition Framework's explanation for policy change as developed by Weible and Nohrstedt (2013). The thesis explores the role of the four causal factors advanced in the ACF – external events, internal events, learning and negotiated agreement – and assesses them in relation to the three case studies. It does so through process-tracing of each sector’s history and content analysis of arguments proffered in National Congress debates, interviews with key actors and in the national media.
 The findings of this thesis qualify the ACF expectations regarding policy change and suggest that events external and internal to the policy areas analysed might be sufficient sources of regulatory change. Negotiated agreement and learning were not necessary sources of regulatory change in two of the three cases investigated. Among the external events identified as relevant for the regulatory changes are the increased relevance of commodity production and export between 2008 and 2013 and the consequent increase in the political and economic power of the agribusiness sector. The main internal events identified point to the importance of the beginning of the enforcement of previously non-enforced regulations; the limits of the state’s capacity to enforce previous regulations; international negotiations; and media scandals. Finally, incentives generated by international negotiations were found to be crucial determinants of negotiated agreement and learning between coalitions, in the only case in which these occurred (Access to Genetic Resources and Benefit Sharing).

description: Although the new architecture of experimentalist governance has been influential in academic scholarship as well as in policy debates over the last two decades, its actual impact on policymaking is still largely unclear. Specifically, questions about whether, under what conditions and how it influences policymaking processes remain largely unsolved. Without an adequate analysis of experimentalist policymaking, the current scholarship confines our understanding to the diffusion of experimentalist architectures, ultimately resulting in a poor understanding of their effects on policymaking processes. Thus, this thesis seeks to contribute to closing the knowledge gap by identifying conditions in which the Commission engages in experimentalist policymaking. To this end, it makes a number of inductive claims by further developing arguments found in experimentalist and shadow of hierarchy theories and using empirical analysis to follow them through. It studies the case of European Union energy regulation from the beginning of its liberalization and re-regulation in the late 1990s to the present day. The central argument of the thesis is that, when the Commission finds itself in conditions of greater uncertainty, even though the shadow of hierarchy is weaker or the distribution of power is less polyarchic, it engages in experimentalist policymaking by granting discretion to Member States and/or regulated companies to pursue common goals through distinct means, stimulating the comparison of their approaches and providing a basis for agreements on reforms to be developed with high stakeholder participation. Besides extending empirical research on EU energy regulation and contributing to the literature on modes of regulation, this thesis contributes to advancing the study of experimentalist governance in a number of respects. First, it clearly distinguishes experimentalist and hierarchical institutional architectures from policymaking processes by developing a set of indicators which are widely applicable. Second, by identifying patterns of policymaking that are not based on polyarchy, shadow of hierarchy, time or sector, but rather, are consistent with uncertainty, it suggests that uncertainty is an individually sufficient condition for experimentalist policymaking. More broadly, by identifying patterns of policymaking that are not based on specific institutional architectures, it shows that the type of policymaking can vary even if institutional architectures do not change, and hence warns scholars of the need to look beyond institutional design to the ways in which decision-making actually occurs.

Tracing The Age’s editorial culture from 1966-97: an oral history approach
Creators: name: Buller, Bradley

Year: 2021
Subjects: Uncategorized

description: This paper examines oral histories of The Age's editorial culture/identity, conducted with former Age journalists since Graham Perkins editorship. While Australian media research focuses on Murdoch owned newspapers and their editorial positioning, The Age tends to be neglected as a subject for scholarly research. Moreover, as this paper argues, The Age's culture is more nuanced than its mere editorial position. The research is based on a historical approach, consisting of archival research and oral history interviews. It argues that The Age's culture and identity is intrinsic to the ways in which particular editors shape their editorial products. As applied to The Age, editorial culture manifests a fourth estate conception of journalism, an inclusive approach to reporting Melbourne and a commitment to giving The Age a "public face". Moreover, this paper illustrates how under successive editors and executives, The Age is perceived to have shifted from an aggressively engaged voice to a much weakened tabloid.

description: This paper analyses the design and operation of a turbine cascade in a tidal flow. The parameter of interest of the investigation is the overall energy output of the cascade, i.e. the harvest factor expressing the proportion of available energy that can be converted into usable energy. Optimizing the operation strategy means not operating each turbine in its power optimum which would result in high wake mixing losses and thus leaving more energy for its downstream turbines to maximize the overall output.

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit werden einige Beispiele für Verunreinigungen diskutiert: Analysen verschiedener Honigproben ergab den Rückstand von Pestiziden, Metallen und Naphtalin. In jungen Larven wurde Ampicillin nachgewiesen, das in der Behandlung einer Erkrankung der Honigbiene eingesetzt wird. Als Hauptabbauprodukt im Honig wurde D-arabino-2-hexosulose Glucoson identifiziert. Der Honig ist ein traditionelles Heilmittel gegen bakterielle Infektionen sowie bei der Wundbehandlung. Es wurden antibakteriell wirksame phenolische Säuren nachgewiesen. Einen hoher Cumarin Gehalt haben bestimmte Zimtarten sowie die Samen der Tonka-Bohnen. In Lebensmitteln und Kosmetika ist Cumarin als Duftstoff und in Arzneimitteln als Wirkstoff erhalten. Cumarin soll bei Diabetes mellitus Typ 2 den Blutzuckerspiegel senken. Vermehrter Genuss von Backwaren in der Weihnachtszeit kann zu erhöhter Cumarin-Aufnahme beitragen. In sehr hohen Dosen wirkt Cumarin kanzerogen. Vorsicht ist vor allem bei Kindern als stark betroffene Konsumenten geboten, da das niedrige Körpergewicht eine entscheidende Rolle spielt. Nonylphenole gehören zu einer breit genutzten Gruppe nichtionischer Tenside. Sie sind wegen ihrer Persistenz, Toxizität und östrogenen Aktivität bekannt. Nonylphenol wird häufig bei z.B. Haushalts– und Industriereinigern, Dispersionsmittel in der Papierindustrie und als Flotationshilfsmittel verwendet. Sie werden in Kunststoffprodukten als Antioxidans und Weichmacher eingesetzt. Sie sind Bestandteile von vielen Pestiziden. In Lebensmitteln sind Nonylphenole ubiquitär vorhanden. Sie sind als Umweltkontaminanten von Bedeutung, da sie sogenannte endokrine Disruptoren sind. Steckapfelsamen ist vor allem in Zentralamerika beheimatet. Als Giftstoffe enthalten sie Tropanalkaloide, nämlich Scopolamin und in jungen Pflanzen eher Hyoscyamin. Schon 5-30 Minuten nach der Aufnahme von Stechapfelsamen können die ersten Vergiftungserscheinungen auftreten. Es wurde von einer Verunreinigung von Hirse mit Stechapfelsamen berichtet.

description: © 2018 Sigma Theta Tau International Purpose: Registered nurses and midwives require a degree of genomic literacy if they are to adequately communicate with other healthcare professionals and provide optimal care to patients, their families, and the community. Several studies have been conducted internationally to assess the genomic literacy of nurses; however, the genomic literacy of Australian registered nurses and midwives has not been investigated. The aim of this study was to measure the genomic literacy of Australian registered nurses and midwives through assessing participants’ understandings of genomic concepts most critical to nursing and midwifery practice, as well as their perceived knowledge and attitude towards genomics in nursing and midwifery practice. Design: Cross-sectional survey of Australian registered nurses and midwives using the Genomic Nursing Concept Inventory (GNCI©), a 31 multiple-choice question survey instrument. Participants were recruited via two key Australian nursing and midwifery organizations over an 8-month period in 2016. Methods: Descriptive and inferential statistical techniques were used to calculate the total GNCI© score and scores on individual subcategories, as well as relationships between demographic variables and GNCI© scores. Findings: Most respondents worked as clinicians (71.4%) in a hospital or hospital-based setting (61.8%). Most registered nurses (80.5%) and midwives (97.2%) reported that genetics was relevant to clinical practice; however, over 80% of registered nurses and midwives believed their knowledge of genetics was poor or average. Genomic knowledge was assessed using the GNCI©. Scores ranged from 3 to 29 (out of a possible 31), with a mean score of 13.3 (SD 4.559) based on 253 (N = 253) respondents, indicating that genomic literacy is low. There was a significant difference between genomic knowledge scores and education and training level (p =.036). Conclusions: The genomic literacy of registered nurses and midwives in Australia is low. More must be done to ensure Australian registered nurses and midwives have an adequate level of genomic literacy to provide optimal care to patients, their families, and the community. Clinical Relevance: Modern medicine requires a healthcare workforce that is literate in genomics. Findings from this study may serve as the catalyst to improve the genomic literacy of the Australian nursing and midwifery workforce, allowing for improved health outcomes for individuals and the wider Australian public.

description: © The Author(s) 2020. This article presents findings from a grounded theory study, which investigated interactions between health professionals and consumers. The authors used Corbin and Strauss’s evolved version of grounded theory, which is underpinned by symbolic interactionism. The study sample included 23 consumers and nine health professionals. Data collection methods included demographic questionnaires, interviews, consumer diaries, digital storytelling, observations, and field notes. Data analysis was conducted using essential grounded theory methods. The resultant grounded theory consists of five categories: (a) Unexpected entrance, (b) Learning a new role, (c) Establishing a presence, (d) Confronting the dichotomy of “us and them,” and (e) Tailored care. Findings suggest that despite consumers and health professionals’ roles, consumers are outsiders in the social world of health care. Progress toward empowered consumers who are in control of their health and health care is slow and care that is truly consumer-centered is still the exception not the rule.

description: © 2019 Australian College of Nursing Ltd Background: Advances in genetic and genomic science and technology are changing the way healthcare is delivered. There is a new responsibility for all nurses to be knowledgeable of genomics and incorporate genomics into nursing practice. Aim: This study seeks to understand how genomics is understood and applied in oncology nursing practice in a regional hospital in Australia. The study was conducted over a six week period from January – February 2018. Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with registered nurses working in oncology departments within a regional hospital in Queensland and analysed using thematic data analysis. Findings: Nine semi-structured interviews were conducted. Three key themes were identified: (1) adequacy of knowledge for practice, (2) relevance of knowledge to practice, and (3) applying knowledge in practice. Most participants believed their genomic knowledge was poor or average. While most participants believed genomics is relevant to practice, many were not clear about how genomics can be applied other than ‘targeted treatments’, and were not actively using genomics with any regularity beyond taking a family history. Discussion: Findings indicate that nurses may have limited genomic knowledge and are applying genomics in practice in a reduced capacity that falls below current expectations for competent oncology care. Conclusion: The findings of the study can be used to improve the utilisation of genomics in oncology nursing practice, which in turn may lead to better quality healthcare for patients and their families.

Year: 2010

description: In der vorliegenden Arbeit wurde die Schlafqualtiät von 100 Lehrerinnen und Lehrern bis 45 Jahre und 100 Lehramtsstudentinnen und Lehramtsstudenten als Kontrollgruppe analysiert. Die Einflussfaktoren Alter, Körpergröße, Körpergewicht, Familienstand, Anzahl der Haushaltsmitglieder, Kinder im Haushalt, Haustiere und Bundesland wurden zusätzlich zu den Fragen des in der Schlafmedizin verwendeten Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index – Fragebogen, welcher es ermöglicht, Probanden in gute und schlechte Schläfer einzuteilen, erhoben und somit die Schlafqualtiät von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern und Studentinnen und Studenten unter Berücksichtung der unterschiedlichen Unterrichts- bzw. Studienfächer, der Höhe der Lehrverpflichtung bzw. Höhe der an der Uni belegten Semesterwochenstundenzahl und Anzahl der Dienstjahre anaysiert. Ziel der Arbeit war es die Prävalenz von psychophysiologischer Insomnie bei AHS - Lehrerinnen und AHS -Lehrern durch den Stressor Lehrberuf zu erheben und die Zusammenhänge insbesondere mit Alter, unterschiedlichen Unterrichtsfächern, Dienstjahren und Anzahl der Lehrverpflichtung zu untersuchen. Das rege Interesse an der Umfrage zeigte die Brisanz und Gegenwertigkeit des Themas Schlafstörungen bei Lehrerinnen und Lehrern, was auch das Ergebnis von 38% schlechten Schläfern in dieser Berufsgruppe, was deutlich über der statistisch erhobenen Prävalenz im Bevölkerungsdurchschnitt liegt, bestätigt. Besonders Lehrerinnen und Lehrer mit ausschließlich geisteswissenschaftlichen Fächern, gefolgt von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern mit ausschließlich naturwissenschaftlichen Fächern schlafen schlecht. Die beste Schlafqualität weisen Lehrerinnen und Lehrer auf, die sowohl geistes- als auch naturwissenschaftliche Fächer unterrichten. Die Schlafqualität von Lehrerinnen und Lehrern weist signifikante Unterschiede zur Schlafqualität der Kontrollgruppe Lehramtsstudentinnen und Lehramtsstudenten auf, was die Bedeutung des Lehrberufs als einen die Schlafqualität beeinflussenden Faktor zeigt.

description: We consider the production of $Z$ bosons associated with beauty quarks at the LHC in the framework of $k_T$-factorization approach. Our consideration is based on the off-shell gluon-gluon fusion subprocess $g^* g^* \to Z Q\bar Q$ at the leading order ${\cal O}(\alpha\alpha_s^2)$ (where the $Z$ boson further decays into a lepton pair) and several subleading ${\cal O}(\alpha \alpha_s^2 )$ and ${\cal O}(\alpha \alpha_s^3 )$ subprocesses involving quark-antiquark and quark-gluon interactions, taken into account in the conventional (collinear) QCD factorization. The contributions from double parton scattering are discussed as well. The transverse momentum dependent (or unintegrated) gluon densities in a proton are derived from Catani-Ciafaloni-Fiorani-Marchesini (CCFM) evolution equation. We achieve reasonably good agreement with the latest data taken by CMS and ATLAS Collaborations. The comparison of our results with next-to-leading-order pQCD predictions, obtained in the collinear QCD factorization, is presented. We discuss the uncertainties of our calculations and demonstrate the importance of subleading quark involving contributions in describing the LHC data in the whole kinematic region.

description: © 2019 Australian College of Nursing Ltd Background: The healthcare environment is highly pressured, dynamic and demanding of staff. Existing research indicates that when graduate nurses begin work, they are not practice ready and struggle to adapt and manage their responsibilities as registered nurses. Aim: As part of a larger study, this paper examines the impact of the healthcare environment on graduate nurses’ practice readiness and the factors that assist them to become practice ready. Method: Multiple case study design with 67 participants from four different professional groups employed in four healthcare institutions in one state in Australia. Grounded theory methods of data analysis, document review, and cross case analysis were utilised in this study. Findings: The healthcare system, workplace environment and quality of workplace interactions impact on actual and perceived graduate nurse performance. Graduate nurses develop practice readiness progressively along a transition continuum and attaining practice readiness is reliant on factors present in both the education and workplace environments. Discussion: Education and workplace factors collectively create the right environment for graduate nurses to flourish. Education and practice sectors need to work together to ensure graduate readiness over a four-year timeline from the commencement of nursing studies through to the end of the graduate year to ensure practice readiness. Conclusion: Creating positive workplace environments that support nursing students and graduate nurses to develop practice readiness can enhance the quality of care they provide, promote their retention in the health workforce and contribute to improved healthcare practice and outcomes.

description: We investigate the inclusive Higgs boson production in proton-proton collisions at the CERN LHC conditions using the $k_T$-factorization approach. Our analysis is based on the dominant off-shell gluon-gluon fusion subprocess (where the transverse momenta of initial gluons are taken into account) and covers $H \to \gamma \gamma$, $H \to ZZ^* \to 4l$ (where $l = e,\mu$) and $H \to W^+ W^- \to e^\pm \mu^\mp \nu \bar \nu$ decay channels. The transverse momentum dependent (or unintegrated) gluon densities in a proton were derived from Ciafaloni-Catani-Fiorani-Marchesini equation or, alternatively, were chosen in accordance with Kimber-Martin-Ryskin prescription. We estimate the theoretical uncertainties of our calculations and compare our results with next-to-next-to-leading-order plus next-to-next-to-leading-logarithmic ones obtained using collinear QCD factorization. Our predictions agree well with the latest experimental data taken by the CMS and ATLAS Collaborations at $\sqrt s = 8$ and $13$ TeV.

description: © 2019 Australian College of Nursing Ltd Background: Healthcare services require graduate nurses to be practice ready, however growing evidence implies that this is not the case. There is a lack of clarity in the literature around the concept of practice readiness and how this is determined. Without a clear definition to guide assessment processes, decisions about graduate nurse practice readiness will remain poorly defined and graduate nurses inadequately supported. Aim: As part of a larger body of work, this paper reports on how healthcare providers in one state in Australia define and determine graduate nurse practice readiness. Methods: This study employed an instrumental collective case study design using multiple methods of data collection and grounded theory methods of data analysis. Sixty-seven healthcare professionals located in four sites in one state in Australia participated. Findings: This study found that practice readiness is a multidimensional concept encompassing overlapping personal, clinical, industry and professional capabilities. These capabilities held true for participants in all contexts of practice. Practice readiness is assessed across a continuum as the graduate makes the transition from student to registered nurse. Graduates’ level of confidence was found to be a critical factor in both demonstrating and determining practice readiness. Discussion: Decisions about graduate nurse practice readiness are largely subjective. An agreed understanding of practice readiness is required to ensure assessments and decisions about practice readiness are reliable and consistent and support the needs of graduate nurses and healthcare providers. Conclusion: A graduate nurse's first year of practice is an extension of their learning and development to become a competent registered nurse. Graduate nurses require experience as a registered nurse to be practice ready and achieve the necessary confidence and required competence for safe practice. In the current model of nurse education, meeting this need is difficult.
