Sleep disorders are common and costly to society, with insomnia being the most common sleep disorder. We can improve access to Psychological care for this highly prevalent condition within existing resources through strategic service model redesign. In our service, model of care redesign was necessitated by the escalating demand for Psychology services in the context of finite resourcing in our public hospital context (Queensland Health). However, redesign of Psychology models of care is necessary across the public and private sector Nationally, particularly with the ongoing impacts and aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. These pressures have necessitated rapid changes in Psychology service delivery, with implementation of systematised models of care, practicing at full scope, delegation to junior staff, and utilisation of time efficient (e.g., group delivery) and technological solutions designed to improve service efficiencies, effectiveness of care, and to maintain or improve patient reported experience and outcomes. Given the evidence-base for direct access and stepped care models, appropriately tailored to the individual service context, it is imperative that we disseminate and share processes and skills for service model redesign with our colleagues across service areas and service delivery contexts. Implementation of similar/comparable service models to improve efficient and effective Psychology service delivery is a matter of priority Nationwide.KEY POINTSWhat is already known about this topic: Insomnia is a common condition with serious mental health and economic impacts for which Psychological intervention is the evidence-based treatment.Access to Psychology assessment and treatment nationally is increasingly impacted by high demand and under resourcing, further compounded by the COVID-19 pandemic.There is precedent for service model redesign in other health contexts and disciplines incorporating “Direct to” Allied Health and “Stepped Care” service delivery models to optimise care within existing resources.What this topic adds: Psychology services can utilise learnings from other services and disciplines to inform model of care redesign with the aim of improving service efficiencies – this commentary outlines a rationale and process for this in an example context (Sleep Psychology).“Direct to Psychology” pathways leverage Psychologist skill and training as first contact for mental health and appropriate physical health conditions, thus reducing burden on Medical and Psychiatric specialists, reducing wait times and improving access to appropriate care.“Stepped Care” pathways can improve access to care within existing resources by implementation of systematised models of care","PeriodicalId":47679,"journal":{"name":"Australian Psychologist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136348523","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In partnership with Aboriginal communities in the remote Fitzroy Valley, Western Australia, we introduced and evaluated the Indigenous Triple P – Positive Parenting Program, with additional Stepping Stones Triple P strategies (for children with complex needs). Implementation followed community consultation and program adaptation to acknowledge local culture, social complexities and language. The initiative was named Jandu Yani U, meaning “for all families” in the local Bunuba language.Method Local practitioners (parent coaches) were trained to deliver Triple P. Parents and carers (henceforth carers) of children up to 15 years of age were invited to participate. Families attending the program reported on child behaviour, parenting practices, self-efficacy, wellbeing and empowerment pre- and post-intervention and at 8-month follow-up using standardised assessment tools delivered by local community navigators.Results Of 30 participating families, 100% completed Triple P and reported the program was culturally appropriate. Of the index children, 93% were Aboriginal, 63% boys, median age 6.83 years. Following the program, carers reported high levels of empowerment and reaching goals for behaviour change (p < .001) and less use of unhelpful parenting strategies (over-reactivity and hostility; p < .05), and this maintained at 8-month follow-up (p < .001). At follow-up, improvement in carer self-efficacy (p < .001) and reduced anxiety (p < .001) were documented. Significant improvements in prosocial behaviour, reductions in challenging behaviour and decreased intensity and frequency of behavioural problems (all p < .05) were reported in children at follow-up. The average level of goal attainment was 65% at post, which was maintained at follow-up.Conclusion This study demonstrates the feasibility of delivering Indigenous Triple P to Aboriginal families in remote settings, and the importance of partnership with communities. Program tailoring, flexible delivery, use of Aboriginal parent coaches and provision of practical support to families resulted in a culturally acceptable parent support program. With local Aboriginal co-design, this initiative should be generalisable to similar remote communities elsewhere.Key PointsWhat is already known about the topic: Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander families are more often exposed to stressful life events than non-Indigenous families, with children overrepresented in hospitalisation rates, poor health outcomes, early school dropout, out-of-home care, involvement with the justice system and youth suicide.There is a significant evidence base that parenting programs, such as Triple P, built on the principles of social learning and self-regulation, can be effective in addressing emotional and behavi","PeriodicalId":47679,"journal":{"name":"Australian Psychologist","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135290806","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
