Funded Activity Summary

Back from the Edge: Reducing and Preventing Occupational Stress in the Remote Area Nursing Workforce. This study will improve services to remote Australia, particularly remote Indigenous communities. Three percent of the population is dispersed across this large area which is characterized by a high proportion of Indigenous people, poorer health outcomes and lower socio-economic status. The study will generate new knowledge and specific stress-reduction interventions in the workforce. These will improve retention in the remote area nursing workforce and thereby benefit employers through reductions in recruitment costs and sick leave. A stable workforce will improve service quality. Other benefits will include improved continuity of care, greater client focus and ultimately improved health outcomes.
