    Notes: Objectives— –To investigate women's perceptions of and satisfaction with the long-term outcomes from a hysterectomy performed between 2 and 10 years ago and to determine whether satisfaction is related to demographic factors, factors associated with the hysterectomy, and the number or type of perceived benefits and problems associated with the hysterectomy.Design— Retrospective survey by telephone interview and postal questionnaire of 236 women who had a hysterectomy between 2 and 10 years ago.Setting— Women who had had a hysterectomy were identified from a community survey in the Hunter Region of NSW, Australia.Subjects— Two hundred and thirty-six women who self-reported having had a hysterectomy between 2 and 10 years ago.Main outcome measures— Perceived benefits resulting from the hysterectomy; perceived physical and psychological problems caused by the hysterectomy; satisfaction with care.Results— Relief from heavy bleeding was the most frequent benefit (57%) and the most important benefit (32%). Most of the women reported improvements in symptoms experienced before hysterectomy but more than half the women had symptoms which they believed had been worsened or caused by the hysterectomy. Despite this, high levels of satisfaction with the operation were reported.Conclusion— The results highlight the need to examine more closely decision-making about treatment for menstrual symptoms such as heavy bleeding.

    The prevalence of drug use in urban Aboriginal communities (1994)
    Oxford, UK : Blackwell Publishing Ltd

    Notes: The use of both licit and illicit drugs has been identified as a major health issue for Australian Aborigines. However, data on the proportion of people who use such drugs is scant. This cross-sectional survey of a randomly selected sample of urban Aboriginal people provides information on the use of the drugs alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, cocaine, heroin as well as petrol sniffing. Overall, a significantly smaller proportion of Aboriginal people were found to be current alcohol drinkers compared to non-Aboriginal Australians. A larger proportion of these drinkers were, however, found to be drinking at levels that were hazardous to their health. A significantly greater proportion of people from the Aboriginal sample were also found to be smokers compared to their non-Aboriginal counterparts. An examination of the use of the illicit substances revealed that a greater proportion reported they had ever used marijuana, compared to the other substances. The findings are discussed in terms of their implications for the health of Aboriginal people.

    Increased focus on the teaching of interactional skills to medical practitioners (1996)
    Springer
    Advances in health sciences education 1 (1996), S. 17-28 
    Details

    Topics: Medicine
    Notes: Abstract The interaction which occurs between the doctor and patient has been described as the cornerstone of medial care. Research has shown that interactional skills can have a substantial impact on patient outcomes in a number of areas. However, as practitioners do not necessarily acquire such skills through clinical practice, the introduction of formal training programmes for both under and postgraduate medical practitioners should be more closely examined. This paper outlines a number of issues which need to be considered in the formal instruction of medical practitioners in interactional skills. These issues include the teaching of skills within a clinical context that will reflect actual medical practice, the use of all medical disciplines to teach the skills and the inclusion of formal assessment strategies based on the same rigorous criteria as other components of the medical curriculum.

    Measuring tutor ratings in relation to curriculum implementation (1983)
    Springer
    Higher education 12 (1983), S. 145-154 
    Details

    Notes: Abstract Greater dependence on students' ratings of their teachers for academic purposes requires a better understanding of the curricular factors likely to influence these ratings. This study examined first-year medical students' evaluation of their tutors in a faculty which has a clearly-defined educational philosophy and learning method but different approaches to the implementation of its curricular strands. Students' ratings were higher for tutors who were required to follow specific procedures and tasks in tutorial sessions, and more variable for tutors in strands which required no set routines. Caring for students and facilitating their learning were the most important qualities expected of all tutors. It is still not clear which of these qualities are trainable skills. However, their accurate assessment may require regular, intermittent criterion-based observations rather than a single end-of-term rating of perception.
