Abstract:
Spastic paresis is a complex condition associated with damage to the upper motor neurons, typically caused by cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, stroke or trauma. Despite substantial impact on patients’ independence and burden on caregivers, there is a lack of consensus on optimal management of this condition and the patient journey remains unclear. A group of physicians, experienced in spasticity management, recently convened with the objective of analysing the patient journey from a care pathway perspective in different geographical regions and under different conditions from acute phase to long-term/chronic disease status. The experts reviewed results from recent patient and healthcare practitioner surveys on the subject and assessed how current patient pathways could be improved, using their own experiences to highlight the issues related to management deficiencies in their individual countries. The group divided the patient journey into steps, considering the evidence from the point of view of healthcare practitioners, patients, caregivers and funders/payors. This paper is a response to the lack of consensus on the optimal management of spastic paresis, and acts as a call to action to develop a consistent care pathway that could be applied across a broad range of illnesses, using an interdisciplinary approach.

Abstract:
Clinical pathways outline standardized processes in the delivery of care for a specific disease. Patient journeys through the healthcare system, however, can deviate substantially from these pathways. Given the positive benefits of clinical pathways, it is important to measure the concordance of patient pathways so that variations in health system performance or bottlenecks in the delivery of care can be detected, monitored, and acted upon. This paper proposes the first data-driven inverse optimization approach to measuring pathway concordance in any problem context. Our specific application considers clinical pathway concordance for stage III colon cancer. We develop a novel concordance metric and demonstrate using real patient data from Ontario, Canada that it has a statistically significant association with survival. Our methodological approach considers a patient’s journey as a walk in a directed graph, where the costs on the arcs are derived by solving an inverse shortest path problem. The inverse optimization model uses two sources of information to find the arc costs: reference pathways developed by a provincial cancer agency (primary) and data from real-world patient-related activity from patients with both positive and negative clinical outcomes (secondary). Thus, our inverse optimization framework extends existing models by including data points of both varying “primacy” and “alignment.” Data primacy is addressed through a two-stage approach to imputing the cost vector, whereas data alignment is addressed by a hybrid objective function that aims to minimize and maximize suboptimality error for different subsets of input data.

Abstract:
Joseph Campbell is the mythographer of the last century who has congenially opened the mythological universe to both scholars and to a wide range of people searching for pathways to enlighten their lives. His elixir of life was to help people “see myth as a reflection of the one sublime adventure of life, and then to breathe new life into it” (Campbell, 2003, p. xiv). The hero’s journey is his gift, his “ultimate boon” (Campbell, 2008, p. 29) for the human condition and social world. It represents a universal motif which runs through virtually all kinds of change, transformation, and growth. The main objective of this special issue of the Journal of Genius and Eminence is to explore the multi-faceted potential of the hero’s journey and perhaps shed new light on it. The introduction gives an overview of Campbell’s ultimate boon and a summary of each of the 12 articles that follow. Distinguished scientists and outstanding practitioners have joined this journey in tribute to Campbell and the 30th anniversary of his death. The contributors take us far and wide, exploring different ways to explore Campbell’s thoughts, allowing insights into the nuances and subtleties of his mythological world, and striking new ways to illuminate the Campbellian universe.

Abstract:
The aim of the thesis is to investigate the feasibility of using text mining methods to reconstruct patient journeys from unstructured clinical narratives. A novel method to extract and represent patient journeys is proposed and evaluated in this thesis. A composition of methods were designed, developed and evaluated to this end; which included health-related concept extraction, temporal information extraction, and concept clustering and automated work-flow generation. A suite of methods to extract clinical information from healthcare narratives were proposed and evaluated in order to enable chronological ordering of clinical concepts. Specifically, we proposed and evaluated a data-driven method to identify key clinical events (i.e., medical problems, treatments, and tests) using a sequence labelling algorithm, CRF, with a combination of lexical and syntactic features, and a rule-based post-processing method including label correction, boundary adjustment and false positive filter. The method was evaluated as part of the 2012 i2b2 challengeand achieved a state-of-the-art performance with a strict and lenient micro F1-measure of 83.45% and 91.13% respectively. A method to extract temporal expressions using a hybrid knowledge- (dictionary and rules) and data-driven (CRF) has been proposed and evaluated. The method demonstrated the state-of-the-art performance at the 2012 i2b2 challenge: F1-measure of 90.48% and accuracy of 70.44% for identification and normalisation respectively. For temporal ordering of events we proposed and evaluated a knowledge-driven method, with a F1-measure of 62.96% (considering the reduced temporal graph) or 70.22% for extraction of temporal links. The method developed consisted of initial rule-based identification and classification components which utilised contextual lexico-syntactic cues for inter-sentence links, string similarity for co-reference links, and subsequently a temporal closure component to calculate transitive relations of the extracted links. In a case study of survivors of childhood central nervous system tumours (medulloblastoma), qualitative evaluation showed that we were able to capture specific trends part of patient journeys. An overall quantitative evaluation score (average precision and recall) of 94-100% for individual and 97% for aggregated patient journeys were also achieved. Hence, indicating that text mining methods can be used to identify, extract and temporally organise key clinical concepts that make up a patient’s journey. We also presented an analyses of healthcare narratives, specifically exploring the content of clinical and patient narratives by using methods developed to extract patient journeys. We found that health-related quality of life concepts are more common in patient narrative, while clinical concepts (e.g., medical problems, treatments, tests) are more prevalent in clinical narratives. In addition, while both aggregated sets of narratives contain all investigated concepts; clinical narratives contain, proportionally, more health-related quality of life concepts than clinical concepts found in patient narratives. These results demonstrate that automated concept extraction, in particular health-related quality of life, as part of standard clinical practice is feasible. The proposed method presented herein demonstrated that text mining methods can be efficiently used to identify, extract and temporally organise key clinical concepts that make up a patient’s journey in a healthcare system. Automated reconstruction of patient journeys can potentially be of value for clinical practitioners and researchers, to aid large scale analyses of implemented care pathways, and subsequently help monitor, compare, develop and adjust clinical guidelines both in the areas of chronic diseases where there is plenty of data and rare conditions where potentially there are no established guidelines.

Abstract:
Expertise in technology-supported teaching needs to be understood from multi-dimensional perspectives and influences, if raising teacher quality is a desired goal of education services. This study aimed to uncover the interactive influences of teachers' pedagogical practices, learning experiences and personal characteristics and how their decisions impacted upon their growth in expert technology-supported teaching. A mixed methods approach incorporated case study techniques, use of quantitative and qualitative data and was informed by grounded theory. Five female primary teachers participated in this research which was conducted during one year over two data collection stages in a technology-supportive independent Australian girls' school. Variations of expertise were most evident in teachers' pedagogical practices, attributable to their technological, pedagogical and content knowledge and beliefs about student learning. These were apparent in the design, delivery and management of student learning activities, with and without digital resources and tools. Common to all was the strength of performance self-efficacy beliefs, desire for excellence and the motivational challenges afforded by technologies to practices and approaches to learning. Particular experiences and influences on learning were perceived by teachers as significant in their journeys of growth, namely 1) accessing the knowledge and modelling strategies of a dedicated curriculum resource teacher, 2) engaging in collaborative activities and feeling part of a team, 3) observing colleagues at work, and 4) being committed to staying abreast of new ideas by spending time alone to play and learn in the non-threatening environment of technology. A distinctive feature of their professional agency was illustrated by pro-active attitudes to change and taking ownership for decisions. These deliberate choices made to advance professional growth over time were epitomised by changes in professional roles, changes within school systems and changes to practices, incorporating risk-taking actions. Expert practices with technology need to be sustained through perseverance and dedication to learning and practice. When the extent of a teacher's expertise is distinguished by referring to descriptors along continuum pathways, this is an encouragement to all teachers to pursue excellence in technology-supported teaching practices.

Abstract:
For biomedical research to improve clinical practice, and for funding levels to be sustained, it is increasingly important to understand the pathways from research to clinical practice and to assess the societal impact of research. Approaches to research evaluation through traditional study of journals, journal articles and standard citation analysis, have played comparatively small roles in these developments. In this thesis I critically review how I applied existing methods, and developed a new approach, to study two pathways from research to clinical practice. For Pathway 1, questionnaire surveys of clinicians' views on journals read to inform their clinical practice, and comparisons with impact factors, revealed that a few journals were read widely and considered important by clinicians. Relationships between journal importance and impact factor were complex. For Pathway 2, I applied a novel methodology to identify important citations to four key research papers in an attempt to trace important citations through numerous citing generations. My findings included: few cited papers were important to the citing papers; the number of citation occasions within the citing paper correlated strongly with a cited paper's importance; self-citations were also important; and it was feasible to trace through a series of generations of citations. Evidence of societal impact of the four key research papers examined in my studies included important papers in subsequent generations cited in clinical guidelines, many of which were international. In assessing the impact of my own studies, I found Pathway 1 papers had societal impact on research evaluation methodology; journal editorial policy; and medical library provision policy and practice. Societal impacts of the new methodology, Pathway 2, included informing further methodological development and research evaluation. My portfolio, together with my critical review, adds understanding and provides additional data to current assessment methods of wider impacts of research, and bases for further studies.

Includes bibliographical references (leaves 110-112).
The purpose of this research was to generate the knowledge required to: (1) design and manufacture fluid film bearings that do not require precision machining processes during fabrication, but rather gain their precision from off-the-shelf parts used in the fabrication process and (2) manufacture parts with 3D internal networks by wrapping thin sheets of material containing 2D through-cut features. This wrapping-based fabrication process, called Three-Dimensional Wrapped Network (3DWN) technology, uses the precision of low-cost, ubiquitous items instead of manufacturing processes to meet the precision requirements of hydrostatic bearings. 3DWN bearings are fabricated by cutting 2D through-cut features into shim stock and then wrapping the shim stock around a precision mandrel. The 2D shim stock features are designed such that they align and form 3D internal networks within the bearing during wrapping. In the final wrapped structure the bore retains the precision diameter of the mandrel and the surface finish of the shim stock, thus meeting the functional requirements of the bearing. This thesis investigates the design and manufacturing of 3DWN hydrostatic bearings.
(cont.) An analytical model was derived to describe the transformation of 3D cylindrical features to 2D through-cut features. Conventional hydrostatic designs and theory were adapted for use in 3DWN bearings. A proof-of-concept was designed, constructed, and tested. Although contact between the shaft and bore was observed during testing, the fluid film stiffness matched theory within 1.6% after accounting for the contact stiffness. The mean bore diameter was measured to be within 0.03% of the mandrel diameter with errors that lie within 5[sigma] of the tolerable error range in the front of the bearing and 2[sigma] in the rear. In a comparison with a conventional hydrostatic bearing of the same size and surface design, the 3DWN cost lOX less.

Internship Report presented as the partial requirement for obtaining a Master's degree in Data Science and Advanced Analytics
When it comes to understanding how a disease evolves, having clinical pathways mapped can provide valuable insights to doctors and insurance companies. By analysing which pathway clients with certain characteristics follow, extrapolations and predictions for new clients’ behaviour can be done. SAS, Python and other software tools were used to implement Advanced Analytics and Machine Learning techniques during the whole project, allowing to use the best part of machines to retrieve valuable information from previously disaggregated data. From an insurance point of view, when it comes to evaluating the risk that a client brings and how he will use his insurance, having this data is highly relevant. From a clinical point of view, it would be great if an invasive surgery, with several associated risks, could be avoided by recommending other types of procedures such as physiotherapy or other wellness related procedures. The outcome of this study drew several pathways that when analysed provided valuable insights to the insurance company and is a starting point for further analytical predictions of customer’s behaviour. Projects, such as this one, are very important to increase profitability because they allow the companies to make data driven decisions adjusted to their reality.

Abstract:
Our lab recently demonstrated that retargeting an alkylating agent, chlorambucil (Cbl), to the mitochondrion is a viable strategy to restore drug activity and overcome drug resistance in cancer. The mechanism of action of the mitochondria-targeted chlorambucil (mt-Cbl) was studied using a cervical carcinoma model. It was discovered that mt-Cbl bound to mitochondrial DNA and various mitochondrial proteins. A ρ° model revealed that the toxicity of mt-Cbl is largely dependent on its protein targets. Damage induced by mt-Cbl was found to result in the activation of several modes of caspase-independent cell death including necrosis. In contrast, Cbl was found to only activate caspase-dependent cell death that is highly sensitive to caspase inhibition. These results illustrate that the ability of mt-Cbl to activate various orthogonal cell death pathways is what allows mt-Cbl to bypass several drug resistance mechanisms, thus making mitochondrial retargeting a lucrative strategy for future anticancer drug development.

Abstract Patkar traces the efforts in various countries to break the silence and stigma surrounding menstruation and to develop national policies on menstrual hygiene. She argues that changes in social norms, institutions, and behaviors linked to taboo topics are best facilitated by simple, evidence-based policies anchored in voice and participation. She asserts that men are willing and essential agents of change for gender equality when presented with pragmatic problems and implementable solutions. Basic noncontroversial and essential services and infrastructure, such as taps and toilets, serve as powerful entry points to articulating, exploring, and addressing wider gender and exclusion issues. Drawing on her experiences working with governments in Africa and Asia and reflecting on her journey over the past decades, Patkar outlines a methodology and pathway to transform the silence around menstruation into policy and action.

Abstract:
AbstractThis chapter suggests that humankind needs to reconsider its relationship with the planet’s amazing miracle: Life. Shifts in mindsets need to reflect this emerging new view of reality. COVID-19 as a global pandemic has alerted many people not only to the need to realign humankind’s relationship with nature, but also highlighted the global interconnectedness and the vulnerability of people. The increasing concern for the future of humanity and our life-support system needs reflections about the underlying view of reality that informs approaches to transformations. If humanity wants to rise up to collective stewardship towards stabilizing the trajectories of our planet, transformation actors need to become humble partners of life’s potential to renew and replenish. The chapter introduces the concept of systems aliveness as a guiding compass for transformative change. It emphasizes that understanding what gives life to systems needs to be at the centre of emerging transformation literacy. Drawing from multiple, interdisciplinary sources of the systems aliveness approach offers an avenue to reorientate transformation efforts around six generic principles. Using these principles as a lens to designing transformation initiatives and translating them into a stewardship architecture provides creative pathways for the long journey to regenerative civilizations.

Abstract:
The Red Blood Cell(RBC) is the transporter of oxygen to the entire human body via the circulatory system. Its journey spans across pathways which step down orders of magnitude; from large arteries which are O(cm) to tiny capillaries which are O(μm). This four-fold reduction in the diameters of the circulatory pathways necessitates the RBC to be extremely deformable. One of the most intriguing facets of the RBC is that it achieves this extreme deformability with ease; and also with a very minimal area dilatation[1]. Modeling the RBC has been an active area of research since the 1950’s. However, conventional methods to model RBCs rely on simplistic Finite Element Methods(FEM) involving mostly triangular elements. The extreme deformability of the RBCs mandate the use of a large number of elements, usually O(thousands) to accurately resolve and visualize the motion of an RBC [2], which is biconcave when unstressed and assumes myriad shapes as it travels through the microcirculation. The extremely large number of elements per cell makes the calculations highly computationally intensive for a single cell alone. This becomes particularly important when attempting to simulate the motion of a large number of cells, leading to a very computationally intensive simulation. The current paper proposes a novel method to analyze and resolve the RBC as a smooth entity using greatly reduced number of elements for resolution. This approach is based on exploiting the properties of Non-Uniform Rational B-Spline (NURBS) surfaces [3]. The results obtained from utilizing the NURBS surfaces can be considered to be a more realistic representation of the behavior of the RBC. Though this article specifically deals with the RBC, it can be applied to a deformable cell of any shape.

Abstract:
The Australian Government and industry groups have been discussing the projected “skills shortage” for a number of years. This concern for the future is mirrored in many countries including the USA and the UK where the risk is not having sufficient skilled people to realise the projects being proposed. Growing tertiary qualified practicing engineers takes time and commitment but without the excitement of the possibility of such a career being seeded in the youth of the world, school leavers won’t be attracted to engineering in sufficient numbers. In response, one successful model for exciting school children about engineering and science careers is the international F1inSchools Technology Challenge which was created in the UK in 2002 and implemented in Australia in 2003. It is now run in over 300 Australian Schools and 33 countries. In the Australian context, the program is managed and promoted by the Reengineering Australia Foundation. It is supported and fostered through a range of regional hubs, individual schools and some exceptional teachers. Presented in this paper are some perspectives drawn particularly from the Australian experience with the program over 10 years — which by any measure has been outstanding. The F1inSchools model has been designed specifically through its association with Formula One racing to attract the intrinsic interests of students. It is based on the fundamentals of action learning. Role models and industry involvement are utilised as motivation modifiers in students from Years 5 to 12. While immersing children in project based learning, the program explicitly encourages them to engage with practicing mentors taking them on a journey outside their normal classroom experience. In this program, students have the opportunity to use the design and analysis tools that are implemented in high technology industries. Their experience is one of reaching into industry and creative exploration rather than industry reaching down to them to play in a constrained and artificial school based environment. Anecdotally F1inSchools has been very successful in positively influencing career choices. With the aim of objectively assessing the impact of the program, doctoral research has been completed. Some key findings from this work are summarized and reported in this paper. The children involved truly become excited as they utilise a vehicle for integration of learning outcomes across a range of educational disciplines with a creative design focus. This enthusiasm flows to reflective thought and informed action in their career choice. As a result of F1inSchools, students are electing to follow engineering pathways and they will shape tomorrow’s world.

Abstract:
Abstract In conventional production management, a lot of production reporting is dependent on the analysis of a vast amount of data from different sources - this is the key to effectively analyze the behavior of the production systems and plan timely interventions. More often than not, as the E&P organizations go through the production lifecycle, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep this data in a structured format and a place where it can be easily accessed by the end users for their day-to-day workflows (Moustafa, et al., 2020). This paper talks about a digital initiative for Sonatrach to automate daily production reporting, provide efficient access to production data and deliver powerful analytical capabilities to end users through role-based information dashboards. The legacy approach to production reporting relied heavily on the Sonatrach staff manually gathering production data through Excel spreadsheets from the seventeen in-country joint ventures (JVs), which consumed significant staff productivity and carried a high potential for erroneous data entries. Moreover, the lack of a structured system of records to store JVs production data restricted the staff's ability to meaningfully collaborate with and contribute their expertise to the JVs. On the other hand, the huge pile up of these Excel spreadsheets created a data entropy and bottlenecked efficient production data management. The digital solution implemented to overcome these challenges involved 1 - Configuration of detailed production information dashboards that enabled all the organizational stakeholders to access actionable information, anytime and from anywhere, 2 - Automation of all the tasks related to manual data handling, 3 - Delivery of a central production data repository (CPDR), which stored all the relevant production data by integrating with JVs source systems and fed production dashboards with the quality data, 4 - Establishment of a technology platform to drive workflows and insight-driven analytics The implementation of this bespoke digital system enabled maximum utilization and faster adoption of the technology. The high degree of automation eliminated the time-consuming efforts and let Sonatrach's staff focus on high value tasks. In addition to that, it resulted in an improved collaboration between them & the JVs and a better utilization of Sonatrach's expertise. The detailed dashboards provided a better oversight of the operations and delivery of the business plans, and a unified database secured the opportunity for advanced analytics and better identification of production enhancements. The new solution, built on an open & scalable architecture, opened the pathways to accommodate additional workflows, business rules, dashboards and new data sources without costly workarounds associated with closed and proprietary systems. As a result, it has proved to be an important cogwheel in Sonatrach's digital transformation journey.

Abstract:
Abstract This paper presents the success of an end-to-end implementation of a Well Integrity Management (WIM) solution that replaced a legacy system, which is no more accessible. This successful implementation involved comprehensive data mapping and migration (direct and/or reverse engineered), roll-out of the well integrity standards, configuration of the well failure model, integration of the standard well integrity workflows and business process management as per the company structure and RACI chart. The overall solution implementation was split into three critical tasks covering data management, solution design & configuration and testing & fixes to deliver faster sprints in a readily usable solution. Issues encountered were related to the lack of legacy system documentation, understanding the data model interrelation, well failure model (WFM) configuration, and the absence of a representative equipment inventory. The lack of legacy system documentation dictated the need to reverse engineer the legacy system data model to carry out a proper data mapping & migration. The WFM is usually based on a representative equipment inventory, and due to its unavailability, a generic but standard equipment inventory was curated to populate all the well barriers in accordance with the well types and other criteria. The WFM rules themselves needed validation and rigorous testing on both the ends, data input & assessment output, in addition to the WFM logic and conditions to assess each well barrier elements. The new solution also needed to reflect current organization layout and approval levels to properly manage the ticket submissions, approvals, and alert notifications. Extensive and constant collaboration of different stakeholders was key to the success of this implementation, ensuring an effective and timely transition from an inactive legacy system to a readily usable comprehensive solution that covers key WIM workflows and more. The WIM Solution was fully & successfully deployed and legacy data was preserved & migrated. The following results were achieved: 1 - Establishment of an industry standard production data model (PDM) to host all WIM related data (legacy & new), 2 - Rollout and automation of integrity assessment workflows (WFM) using business process management tools, 3 - Deployment of an analytics tool, 4 - Interactive dashboards and visualization tools with alerts and notifications to ensure integrity compliance, awareness, and timely response. The ability to rescue, map and migrate a legacy data model with no inherited documentation and little to no guidance was crucial for the success of this implementation. The new solution, built on an open & scalable architecture, opened the pathways to accommodate additional workflows, business rules, dashboards and new data sources without costly workarounds associated with closed and proprietary systems. As a result, it has proved to be an important cogwheel in the organization's digital transformation journey.

This volume shares the life journeys of 21 women from rural villages from Sumatra, to Java, to Kalimantan, Sulawesi and East and West Nusa Tenggara (for ethical reasons, all names have been anonymised). In each of these villages, CSOs introduced and/or strengthened interventions to support gender inclusion, women’s collective action and empowerment. The stories of these village women offer unique insights into women’s aspirations, the challenges they have encountered and their achievements across multiple scales and domains, illustrating the lived complexities of women in rural Indonesia, particularly those from vulnerable groups. The stories shared highlight women’s own pathways of change and their resilience and determination often in the face of resistance from their families and communities, to ultimately reduce rural gender inequities and bolster gender inclusiveness. The stories also illustrate the important role CSOs—those that are focused on gender inclusion and facilitating grassroots women’s agency and empowerment—can play in supporting women’s voice and agency as they undertake this journey.

Abstract:
Overview Skin cancer prevention is a component of the new Cancer Plan 2022–27, which guides the work of the Cancer Institute NSW. To lessen the impact of skin cancer on the community, the Cancer Institute NSW works closely with the NSW Skin Cancer Prevention Advisory Committee, comprising governmental and non-governmental organisation representatives, to develop and implement the NSW Skin Cancer Prevention Strategy. Primary Health Networks and primary care providers are seen as important stakeholders in this work. To guide improvements in skin cancer prevention and inform the development of the next NSW Skin Cancer Prevention Strategy, an up-to-date review of the evidence on the effectiveness and feasibility of skin cancer prevention activities in primary care is required. A research team led by the Daffodil Centre, a joint venture between the University of Sydney and Cancer Council NSW, was contracted to undertake an Evidence Check review to address the questions below. Evidence Check questions This Evidence Check aimed to address the following questions: Question 1: What skin cancer primary prevention activities can be effectively administered in primary care settings? As part of this, identify the key components of such messages, strategies, programs or initiatives that have been effectively implemented and their feasibility in the NSW/Australian context. Question 2: What are the main barriers and enablers for primary care providers in delivering skin cancer primary prevention activities within their setting? Summary of methods The research team conducted a detailed analysis of the published and grey literature, based on a comprehensive search. We developed the search strategy in consultation with a medical librarian at the University of Sydney and the Cancer Institute NSW team, and implemented it across the databases Embase, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, Scopus, Cochrane Central and CINAHL. Results were exported and uploaded to Covidence for screening and further selection. The search strategy was designed according to the SPIDER tool for Qualitative and Mixed-Methods Evidence Synthesis, which is a systematic strategy for searching qualitative and mixed-methods research studies. The SPIDER tool facilitates rigour in research by defining key elements of non-quantitative research questions. We included peer-reviewed and grey literature that included skin cancer primary prevention strategies/ interventions/ techniques/ programs within primary care settings, e.g. involving general practitioners and primary care nurses. The literature was limited to publications since 2014, and for studies or programs conducted in Australia, the UK, New Zealand, Canada, Ireland, Western Europe and Scandinavia. We also included relevant systematic reviews and evidence syntheses based on a range of international evidence where also relevant to the Australian context. To address Question 1, about the effectiveness of skin cancer prevention activities in primary care settings, we summarised findings from the Evidence Check according to different skin cancer prevention activities. To address Question 2, about the barriers and enablers of skin cancer prevention activities in primary care settings, we summarised findings according to the Consolidated Framework for Implementation Research (CFIR). The CFIR is a framework for identifying important implementation considerations for novel interventions in healthcare settings and provides a practical guide for systematically assessing potential barriers and facilitators in preparation for implementing a new activity or program. We assessed study quality using the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) levels of evidence. Key findings We identified 25 peer-reviewed journal articles that met the eligibility criteria and we included these in the Evidence Check. Eight of the studies were conducted in Australia, six in the UK, and the others elsewhere (mainly other European countries). In addition, the grey literature search identified four relevant guidelines, 12 education/training resources, two Cancer Care pathways, two position statements, three reports and five other resources that we included in the Evidence Check. Question 1 (related to effectiveness) We categorised the studies into different types of skin cancer prevention activities: behavioural counselling (n=3); risk assessment and delivering risk-tailored information (n=10); new technologies for early detection and accompanying prevention advice (n=4); and education and training programs for general practitioners (GPs) and primary care nurses regarding skin cancer prevention (n=3). There was good evidence that behavioural counselling interventions can result in a small improvement in sun protection behaviours among adults with fair skin types (defined as ivory or pale skin, light hair and eye colour, freckles, or those who sunburn easily), which would include the majority of Australians. It was found that clinicians play an important role in counselling patients about sun-protective behaviours, and recommended tailoring messages to the age and demographics of target groups (e.g. high-risk groups) to have maximal influence on behaviours. Several web-based melanoma risk prediction tools are now available in Australia, mainly designed for health professionals to identify patients’ risk of a new or subsequent primary melanoma and guide discussions with patients about primary prevention and early detection. Intervention studies have demonstrated that use of these melanoma risk prediction tools is feasible and acceptable to participants in primary care settings, and there is some evidence, including from Australian studies, that using these risk prediction tools to tailor primary prevention and early detection messages can improve sun-related behaviours. Some studies examined novel technologies, such as apps, to support early detection through skin examinations, including a very limited focus on the provision of preventive advice. These novel technologies are still largely in the research domain rather than recommended for routine use but provide a potential future opportunity to incorporate more primary prevention tailored advice. There are a number of online short courses available for primary healthcare professionals specifically focusing on skin cancer prevention. Most education and training programs for GPs and primary care nurses in the field of skin cancer focus on treatment and early detection, though some programs have specifically incorporated primary prevention education and training. A notable example is the Dermoscopy for Victorian General Practice Program, in which 93% of participating GPs reported that they had increased preventive information provided to high-risk patients and during skin examinations. Question 2 (related to barriers and enablers) Key enablers of performing skin cancer prevention activities in primary care settings included: • Easy access and availability of guidelines and point-of-care tools and resources • A fit with existing workflows and systems, so there is minimal disruption to flow of care • Easy-to-understand patient information • Using the waiting room for collection of risk assessment information on an electronic device such as an iPad/tablet where possible • Pairing with early detection activities • Sharing of successful programs across jurisdictions. Key barriers to performing skin cancer prevention activities in primary care settings included: • Unclear requirements and lack of confidence (self-efficacy) about prevention counselling • Limited availability of GP services especially in regional and remote areas • Competing demands, low priority, lack of time • Lack of incentives.
