About me

Thank you for reviewing my homepage. A main focus for me is working through the diversity of issues that surround health and aged care services in order to advance the health and well-being of all people and the profession and discipline of nursing. I am committed to a healthy ageing approach, the quality use of medicines and health technologies, and to enabling people to have greater control over their own lives by supporting them, to the extent that they are capable and wish so to do, to make choices about the types of services they access and the delivery of those services.

My research focuses on the development of new and improved consumer directed methods of care delivery, treatments, and cutting-edge research projects co-designed,... Read more

About me

My research focuses on the development of new and improved consumer directed methods of care delivery, treatments, and cutting-edge research projects co-designed, co-delivered and co-translated by consumers and nurses. Currently, I am a Board Director of NPS - MedicineWise, a Research Theme Leader in the School and a member of the Sansom Institute for Health Research. I have been a Chief Investigator of the North West Adelaide Health (Cohort) Study [NWAHS] since 2003. I am working with the team at NWAHS through some key issues of international importance and are progressing innovative understandings around decision-making by people with chronic conditions and cancer. My goal is to assist in solving the paradox of on the one hand a growing biomedical and clinical evidence base, and on the other hand and an increasing burden from disease the worldwide. NWAHS is a successful epidemiological population-based cohort (from 1999) exploring chronic conditions and quality of life of 4,000 randomly selected adult participants living in the North West region of Adelaide, South Australia. NWAHS reflects a significant collaboration between the North Western Adelaide Health Service (The Queen Elizabeth Hospital and Lyell McEwin Health Service campuses), the SA Department of Health, the University of Adelaide, and UniSA. Recently I completed research of cohort participants (current and those who have withdrawn) to understand what participation in the cohort means to them. My current research projects include: Healthy Healing and Wound Prevention project in conjunction with Wound Management Innovation CRC and Southern Cross Care (SA and NT). Wound Management Innovation Cooperative Research Centre 2015: Brisbane, Queensland. Evaluation of a Healthy Ageing initiative for Southern Cross Care (SA and NT) Inc. Aged Care Staffing and Skills Mix project in conjunction with ANMF and Flinders University.

As an academic researcher I have gained national competitive grants within the NHMRC and ARC Discovery schemes and with the Department of Health and Ageing (DoHA) and the Department of Education, Science and Training. Recently as the Chief Investigator I had the privilege of leading a multidisciplinary research team in a nationally competitive mixed methods study funded by the DoHA through the Sharing Health Care Initiative (2009 – 2011). I have been a member of the NHMRC Asssigner's Academy since 2014.

Recently completed research projects included:

Australian Primary Health Care Research Institute APHCRI: Defining, predicting and detecting functional decline in community dwelling older people: stakeholder perspectives of a complex measurement puzzle - Grimmer K, Price K, Kumar S, Milanese S, Lukar J
Evaluation of the 'Living Well Dying Well' Project for Southern Cross Care (SA and NT) /Health Workforce Australia

Current research & highlights

A novel approach to influencing self-care - Funded by the Department of Health and Ageing – Sharing Health Care Initiative - $566,511 (2009 - 2011)

Previous research has shown that people who live with chronic conditions desire to live as well as possible and need to feel as if they have some control in their lives. It is evident that people with chronic conditions make different and varied decisions everyday which impact on their health outcomes; they take risks, and learn from their mistakes. Trial and error decisions may have a huge impact on health outcomes, particularly for people living life with cardiovascular disease and diabetes. The conceptualisation of everyday self-care decisions, informed by trial and error practices to date, has received minimal attention. However, we cannot ignore the impact that trial and error practices as self-care strategies may be having on the health outcomes and health services usage of people with chronic conditions. This study will collect unique and valuable data not currently available to Australia policy makers, stakeholders, researchers or the public. Our research hypothesis is: Trial and error as a personal self-care strategy has the potential to influence social, health and functional outcomes for people with chronic conditions including their health care usage and health care costs.The aim of this systematic mixed methods study is to provide a different understanding of self-care that will inform health professionals and policy makers of the best strategies to support targeted groups of people with chronic conditions to effectively manage their health status.

PhD research - A Construction of Pain

My thesis is based on a poststructural way of thinking, which is understood as offering different ways in which to theorise about knowledge and language. I articulate how the relationship between language and knowledge shapes nurses' understanding of the self (that is, their subjectivity or subject position) in relation to how pain is given meaning. Nurses' subjectivity will be different within different meanings of pain and in each of these different meanings there will be different political implications.What is significant in utilising a poststructural way of thinking is that it enables questioning as to how a word pain is given a reality by nurses in relation to how pain is given meaning and the resultant political implications for nurses and nursing of this constructed reality.My interest has been to understand the way in which nurses shape their own subject position and whether in this position nurses adopt meaning and practices which are not necessarily aligned to their own interests or the well being of persons having surgery. I was particularly interested in the issue of subordination, the subject position in which an individual is positioned supposedly under the authority or control of others - that is, dominated.My thesis is not about discounting how it is that nurses give pain meaning. Rather, in understanding how a specific language and knowledge system positions nurses and maintains this positioning, nurses will be better placed to offer resistance or challenge where necessary. Resistance or challenge by nurses may be of particular importance to allow the possibility for practises to emerge that are based on a nursing way of thinking. Also, resistance or challenge may allow the possibility for pain to mean different things to different people.

Power and politics in social institutions such as hospitals or community services

Another research interest is to understand power and politics in social institutions such as hospitals or community services. I believe it is necessary to analyse these institutions, not from what is already organised, but how organisation is given meaning. To do so requires thinking outside of the dominant ways that knowledge and language have been structured in Western societies. Knowledge and language have been generated to focus on how power has been invested in knowledge and language. I research from a poststructural perspective of organisation; rather than organisation being viewed as structure (organisation as noun), organisation is viewed as process (organisation as verb). It is my view that meaning is given to organisation influences, power and politics in social institutions. Through an exploration of how organisational strategies or processes have been produced, the way power and politics function in social institutions can be exposed.
