Tertiary education for rural and remote area health workers, 1992
No full textRural and remote areas of Australia suffer from inadequate rates of recruitment of health workers and low rates of retention. This may partly be attributed to professional isolation experienced by health workers in these areas, while they require a wide range of professional skills. The aim of this survey was to review current post-secondary education opportunities for rural and remote area health workers. The database would be used to evaluate deficiencies in programs for rural health with particular reference to those involved in areas of alcohol related problems, child abuse, sexual assault and domestic violence. The data set consists of information about post-secondary courses which are available and relevant to rural and remote area health workers. It was designed to be relevant to all types of health workers including medical practitioners, registered and enrolled nurses, aboriginal health workers, counsellors, social workers, pharmacists, dentists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, ambulance personnel, community workers, and other allied health and welfare workers. The data include courses/units specifically orientated to the conditions of health service delivery in rural and remote areas, and courses/units which may be recommended for, or interesting to, rural and remote area health workers. One data file lists each such course, giving details of the institution, contact person, subject, award level, prerequisities, requirements for attendance, and possibilities for part-time or external study. The second data file lists each unit with information about the course title, unit title, year, semester, and course credit. Data not available on Nesstar.

Survey of NHMRC Research Workforce Outcomes 1992-2002, Australia, 2004
No full textThe 2004 Survey of NHMRC Research Workforce Outcomes was conducted by the University of Queensland via a contract with the Department of Health and Ageing and the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC). The purpose of the project was to allow for the identification of short and long term research outcomes from NHMRC researchers who had been granted NHMRC People Support Awards (PSAs) during the period 1992-2002. The principle aim of the survey was to gather data on recipients' perceptions of the impact of their awards upon their career development, research training and research capacity building. The survey contains sections concerning the perceived impact of PSA research upon the activities of other health professionals, policy makers and the general public. Key sets of questions address career developments (details of publications, inventions, research tools, patents, basic scientific advances, service delivery outcomes, public health outcomes, commercial developments) that are directly attributable to the PSA. Additionally there are questions regarding motivating factors in applying for PSAs, respondents' broader career objectives and perceived impediments to career development. There is also a section that asks respondents to assess the usefulness of PSAs in assisting researchers to develop important skills and training that are relevant for meeting national and international medical research development needs. Background variables include age, gender, highest completed academic qualifications and the field of study, details of current study, the type of institution that administered the PSA and occupations held since the award of the first PSA
