PHCS are a first point of contact, coordinating services essential in preventing and managing these conditions. A Men's Group was established within a South Australian Aboriginal PHCS as a strategy to address documented barriers of access to health care. This study aimed to explore participant experiences and perspectives of the Men's Group initiative to inform the program. Methods This Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led qualitative study used an Aboriginal Participatory Action Research (APAR) framework and a Continuous Quality Improvement approach to gather and transfer Indigenous Knowledges. Semi-structured interviews were conducted by and with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander men attending the Men's Group. Data were analysed using thematic network analysis. Results Thirty two participants were interviewed in total. Five global themes were identified: (1) Facilitates and strengthens social and emotional wellbeing (SEWB), (2) Acquiring health knowledge and care is valued, (3) Provide greater opportunities to strengthen connection to culture, (4) Foster individual and collective self-determination, and (5) Improve access and enhance program delivery. Conclusions This study demonstrates the effectiveness of APAR to enhance Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander male engagement with PHCS through prioritising their voices to co-design a culturally responsive male health program.

Topical corticosteroids (TCS) remain the first-line management and effective TCS use is associated with improved holistic wellbeing.

The aim of this study was to understand the experiences causing parents to deviate from traditional TCS use in paediatric AD management. Methods A convenience sampling approach was used to recruit caregivers of children with AD, who subsequently participated in one-on-one semi-structured interviews following informed consent. Qualitative data were thematically analysed. Results Ten participants were interviewed, of which four were also general practitioners (GPs). The steroid phobia observed among non-healthcare participants was also evident in the views of some GPs. Mismatched expectations within therapeutic relationships lead to some participants seeking alternative therapies and non-medical information sources. Divergence in interpretations of management between primary care practitioners is associated with poor treatment adherence and lowered parent confidence.

In NSW, it is recommended that all children under 5years of age have free routine health and developmental checks, promoting optimal childhood development and shaping future health outcomes. There appears to be a strong indication that parents do not return for their checks. Between 2019 and 2020, a qualitative study was undertaken aiming to identify and better understand the key factors driving parents' disengagement from child family health nursing (CFHN) services after contact in their baby's first year. Moreover, having a greater understanding of key factors driving parents' early service disengagement may help to reshape service delivery. During the study period, parents of infants who had received the 1-4-week health check with CFHN services were informed about the study and invited to participate. A total of 104 families gave consent to take part in phone interviews. These interviews were transcribed and analysed using straightforward thematic analysis. Qualitative data were gathered to explore families' experiences with the CFHN services. Less than 35% of families utilised CFHN services, whereas >62% visited their general practitioners. Barriers identified included the presence of multiple services, established relationships with current health professionals, limited accessibility, convenience factors and parents' lack of knowledge regarding CFHN services. On a positive note, half of the participants reported experiencing no barriers. This study emphasises the need for better awareness and accessibility to CFHN services. The findings are concerning, because children missing health screenings may experience delays in early identification and intervention before starting school.</p>","PeriodicalId":93892,"journal":{"name":"Australian journal of primary health","volume":"31 ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.3,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145115335","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This includes cancer surveillance, the management of other chronic diseases, health promotion and preventative care. However, there is inconsistent application of prevention activities. We explored the experiences of Australian general practitioners (GPs) and practice nurses to: (1) understand the delivery of prevention activities for cancer survivors; and (2) identify determinants to optimise disease prevention activities within the current general practice context. Colorectal cancer is the fourth most common cancer in Australia. However, each GP will likely diagnose only one new case of colorectal cancer per year. Colorectal cancer survivorship care was provided as an example to prompt discussion on the delivery of prevention activities for cancer survivors and determinants to optimise prevention.

Conclusions Primary care is a complex and adaptive system. The Functional Resonance Analysis Method approach, by visualising the dynamic interactions and interdependencies between people, resources, time and system conditions involved in prevention activities, offers a pragmatic guide to develop acceptable, scalable and adaptable interventions for promoting disease risk estimation (cancer and other chronic diseases), therapeutic partnerships and co-planning activities within the socio-technological constraints of the system studied using the resources available.
