Psychological impact of forced adoption
The illegal and unethical forced adop-
tion practices that commonly occurred in
Australia through maternity homes, hospitals,
adoption agencies and privately from the 1940s
through to 1980s has affected thousands of
people.
Research shows forced adoption can have
long-term psychological impacts ranging from
complex and pathological grief and loss to
self-identity and attachment issues,
anxiety and attachment disor-
ders, personality disorders,
and symptoms of post-
traumatic stress disor-
der.
In 2012, the Aus-
tralian Institute of
Family Studies (AIFS)
conducted research
into past adoption
practices.
More than 1500
people participated in
the study, including 823
adopted persons, 505 moth-
ers, 94 adoptive parents, 94 other
family members, 12 fathers and 58 ser-
vice providers.
The study found mothers in labour had
been tied to beds or held down while pillows
or sheets were held up to obscure any view of
their newborn baby.
Others had been sexually assaulted by
medical professionals or experienced medical
neglect or maltreatment.
Parents had been told their newborn baby
was deceased, when the baby was alive, while
study participants also reported that their con-
sent to adopt was unethically and illegally ob-
tained.
Some babies were used for medical experi-
ments or placed with abusive adoptive parents
while adoptees were also lied to about the cir-
cumstances surrounding their adoption.
The results of the study are being used to
inform the development of guidelines for the
delivery of support and services for people af-
fected by forced adoption.
Australian Psychological Society (APS)
spokesperson and psychologist Dr
Daryl Higgins, who is the deputy
director (research) at the
AIFS, said an overwhelm-
ing majority of people
affected by forced
adoption practices
revealed the experi-
ence had negative
repercussions for
their health and well-
being.
“The kind of nega-
tive effects that we saw
there related to mental
health issues, such as anxi-
ety and depression and things that
would be consistent with what we would
call post-traumatic stress, so that really affects
every day functioning but also in particular it af-
fects relationships,” he said.
“One of the things that I found most dis-
tressing, about the impacts that people were
describing, were particularly the impacts on
their relationships.
“Their relationships with partners, their re-
lationships with children, with not only the chil-
dren they were separated from but particularly
other children that they may have had - that
they really feel these reverberations in their in-
terpersonal relationships throughout their lives.”
Dr Higgins said the Federal Government’s
apology in 2013 was a vital part of the healing
process for people who experienced forced
adoption.
“I think for anyone who has experienced a
significant loss or grief or trauma, a way of recon-
necting with a positive thing that signifies a move-
ment towards recognition of that loss is a way of
being able to heal, particularly because it’s about
that communal recognition,” he said.
“What really came home to me was the inten-
sity of the trauma, that a significant sub-group of
those who had experienced past adoption prac-
tices, were subjected to or were experiencing.
“That ongoing severity I think is in part due to
that lack of recognition up until the national apol-
ogy.
“Until there is recognition, it feels like peo-
ple’s experiences are being denied and silenced
and their trauma rendered irrelevant and incon-
sequential.”
The APS has received funding to develop
and deliver national training and resources to
assist health professionals, including psycholo-
gists, occupational therapists, mental health
nurses, Aboriginal Health Workers, GPs and
psychiatrists, working with people affected by
forced adoption.
While the resources are still being devel-
oped, Dr Higgins said there are several key
measures health professionals can utilise when
working with people affected by forced adop-
tion.
Be accepting and be aware. Clients may not
disclose an experience with forced adoption.
“Be willing to ask the question in an open
way when taking a general kind of intake on
family history,” Dr Higgins suggested. “Often we
don’t ask those questions as practitioners and
therefore we miss out on a part of the story that
actually might help inform an understanding of
what the particular issues are with a client who
is presenting for either a health or medical or
allied health concern. It could be that they are
the parent, it could be that they are the adult,
who as a child was adopted, or it could be an-
other family member, such as a sibling.”
Use the right language. “Often people have
very firm views about how they want to have
their experience described so it is being sensi-
tive, and often phrases like biological or birth
mother might be quite offensive to a mother
who involuntary had a child removed,” Dr Hig-
gins said. “She might see herself as the mother
and to use any adjective to describe that might
diminish her experience. Most importantly, mir-
ror the kind of language a client might be using
in relation to their experiences.”
Do your research. Read about the his-
tory of forced adoption and its impacts. “Link
in more broadly with the kind of research and
understanding that sits behind the apology,” Dr
Higgins said. Health professionals can access
research including the Senate Committee Re-
port on Former Forced Adoption Policies and
Practices. There is also AIFS research including
the Impact of Past Adoption Practices: Summary
of Key Issues from Australian Research (2010),
Past Adoption Experiences: National Research
Study on the Service Response to Past Adoption
Practices (2012) and the Forced Adoption Sup-
port Services Scoping Study (2014). “There are
a range of other researchers around who have
documented either individual case studies and
particularly qualitative research that explores
the experience of a wide variety of people with a
past adoption experience,” Dr Higgins said.

Nursing researchers to receive international honour
Griffith University patient safety nursing re-
searcher Professor Wendy Chaboyer is one of
two Australian researchers set to be inducted into
the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame.
Professor Chaboyer will join Queensland
University of Technology’s Professor Elizabeth
Beattie and 17 nursing researchers from the
United States, Belgium and Canada to be recog-
nised at the Sigma Theta Tau International’s (STTI)
26th International Nursing Research Congress in
Puerto Rico in July.
Professor Chaboyer, who is originally from
Canada and first became interested in research-
ing ways to improve patient care while working
as an intensive care nurse, said the honour rec-
ognises 15 years of her work in nursing research.
“To be recognised by our international com-
munity of nurses - I’m very proud of that,” she
said.
“My colleague Professor Claire Rickard re-
ceived it last year, so Australian researchers are
starting to get a bit of a reputation for the good
quality research we are doing at the international
level.”
Professor Chaboyer’s research focuses on
patient participation in patient safety activities
from clinical handover to pressure injury preven-
tion in a bid to promote active patient engage-
ment in hospital care.
“We know from international work that when
patients are more active in their care, they actual-
ly have better outcomes and there’s less adverse
events,” she said.
Professor Chaboyer, from Griffith’s Centre
for Health Practice Innovation, a part of the Men-
zies Health Institute Queensland, said her early
research work focused on patients being trans-
ferred from intensive care to the ward.
“We found that a liaison nurse role that
helped in that transition actually was beneficial
for the patients, the staff and actually made the
transfer more efficient,” she said.
“More recently, I’ve been working in the area
of the nursing handover. I’ve developed stand-
ard operating protocols for how nurses can give
handover at the patient’s bedside and involve
the patient and the family of the patient.”
Professor Chaboyer is now involved in a
large National Health and Medical Research
Council (NHMRC) study examining how patients
can become more actively involved in pressure
injury prevention care.
The study is being conducted with about
1600 patients spanning eight hospitals, in both
the public and private sectors, across three Aus-
tralian states.
Professor Chaboyer said if the study’s inter-
ventions are a success, it will suggest patients
can play a simple but effective role in pressure
injury prevention.
“We’ve come up with three simple things
that patients can do in partnership with nurses,”
she said.
“Just keep moving - it’s amazing how just
even wriggling in bed makes a difference, eat a
healthy diet and look after your skin,” she said.
“We’ve done preliminary research to show
that patients were willing to participate and so
if the study is positive then the next thing would
be to try to ensure it’s got wide dissemination
and uptake by hospitals both within Australia
and internationally.

call post-traumatic stress, so that really affects
every day functioning but also in particular it af-
fects relationships,” he said.
“One of the things that I found most dis-
tressing, about the impacts that people were
describing, were particularly the impacts on
their relationships.
“Their relationships with partners, their re-
lationships with children, with not only the chil-
dren they were separated from but particularly
other children that they may have had - that
they really feel these reverberations in their in-
terpersonal relationships throughout their lives.”
Dr Higgins said the Federal Government’s
apology in 2013 was a vital part of the healing
process for people who experienced forced
adoption.
“I think for anyone who has experienced a
significant loss or grief or trauma, a way of recon-
necting with a positive thing that signifies a move-
ment towards recognition of that loss is a way of
being able to heal, particularly because it’s about
that communal recognition,” he said.
“What really came home to me was the inten-
sity of the trauma, that a significant sub-group of
those who had experienced past adoption prac-
tices, were subjected to or were experiencing.
“That ongoing severity I think is in part due to
that lack of recognition up until the national apol-
ogy.
“Until there is recognition, it feels like peo-
ple’s experiences are being denied and silenced
and their trauma rendered irrelevant and incon-
sequential.”
The APS has received funding to develop
and deliver national training and resources to
assist health professionals, including psycholo-
gists, occupational therapists, mental health
nurses, Aboriginal Health Workers, GPs and
psychiatrists, working with people affected by
forced adoption.
While the resources are still being devel-
oped, Dr Higgins said there are several key
measures health professionals can utilise when
working with people affected by forced adop-
tion.
Be accepting and be aware. Clients may not
disclose an experience with forced adoption.
“Be willing to ask the question in an open
way when taking a general kind of intake on
family history,” Dr Higgins suggested. “Often we
don’t ask those questions as practitioners and
therefore we miss out on a part of the story that
actually might help inform an understanding of
what the particular issues are with a client who
is presenting for either a health or medical or
allied health concern. It could be that they are
the parent, it could be that they are the adult,
who as a child was adopted, or it could be an-
other family member, such as a sibling.”
Use the right language. “Often people have
very firm views about how they want to have
their experience described so it is being sensi-
tive, and often phrases like biological or birth
mother might be quite offensive to a mother
who involuntary had a child removed,” Dr Hig-
gins said. “She might see herself as the mother
and to use any adjective to describe that might
diminish her experience. Most importantly, mir-
ror the kind of language a client might be using
in relation to their experiences.”
Do your research. Read about the his-
tory of forced adoption and its impacts. “Link
in more broadly with the kind of research and
understanding that sits behind the apology,” Dr
Higgins said. Health professionals can access
research including the Senate Committee Re-
port on Former Forced Adoption Policies and
Practices. There is also AIFS research including
the Impact of Past Adoption Practices: Summary
of Key Issues from Australian Research (2010),
Past Adoption Experiences: National Research
Study on the Service Response to Past Adoption
Practices (2012) and the Forced Adoption Sup-
port Services Scoping Study (2014). “There are
a range of other researchers around who have
documented either individual case studies and
particularly qualitative research that explores
the experience of a wide variety of people with a
past adoption experience,” Dr Higgins said.

Nursing researchers to receive international honour
Griffith University patient safety nursing re-
searcher Professor Wendy Chaboyer is one of
two Australian researchers set to be inducted into
the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame.
Professor Chaboyer will join Queensland
University of Technology’s Professor Elizabeth
Beattie and 17 nursing researchers from the
United States, Belgium and Canada to be recog-
nised at the Sigma Theta Tau International’s (STTI)
26th International Nursing Research Congress in
Puerto Rico in July.
Professor Chaboyer, who is originally from
Canada and first became interested in research-
ing ways to improve patient care while working
as an intensive care nurse, said the honour rec-
ognises 15 years of her work in nursing research.
“To be recognised by our international com-
munity of nurses - I’m very proud of that,” she
said.
“My colleague Professor Claire Rickard re-
ceived it last year, so Australian researchers are
starting to get a bit of a reputation for the good
quality research we are doing at the international
level.”
Professor Chaboyer’s research focuses on
patient participation in patient safety activities
from clinical handover to pressure injury preven-
tion in a bid to promote active patient engage-
ment in hospital care.
“We know from international work that when
patients are more active in their care, they actual-
ly have better outcomes and there’s less adverse
events,” she said.
Professor Chaboyer, from Griffith’s Centre
for Health Practice Innovation, a part of the Men-
zies Health Institute Queensland, said her early
research work focused on patients being trans-
ferred from intensive care to the ward.
“We found that a liaison nurse role that
helped in that transition actually was beneficial
for the patients, the staff and actually made the
transfer more efficient,” she said.
“More recently, I’ve been working in the area
of the nursing handover. I’ve developed stand-
ard operating protocols for how nurses can give
handover at the patient’s bedside and involve
the patient and the family of the patient.”
Professor Chaboyer is now involved in a
large National Health and Medical Research
Council (NHMRC) study examining how patients
can become more actively involved in pressure
injury prevention care.
The study is being conducted with about
1600 patients spanning eight hospitals, in both
the public and private sectors, across three Aus-
tralian states.
Professor Chaboyer said if the study’s inter-
ventions are a success, it will suggest patients
can play a simple but effective role in pressure
injury prevention.
“We’ve come up with three simple things
that patients can do in partnership with nurses,”
she said.
“Just keep moving - it’s amazing how just
even wriggling in bed makes a difference, eat a
healthy diet and look after your skin,” she said.
“We’ve done preliminary research to show
that patients were willing to participate and so
if the study is positive then the next thing would
be to try to ensure it’s got wide dissemination
and uptake by hospitals both within Australia
and internationally.

Psychological impact of forced adoption
The illegal and unethical forced adop-
tion practices that commonly occurred in
Australia through maternity homes, hospitals,
adoption agencies and privately from the 1940s
through to 1980s has affected thousands of
people.
Research shows forced adoption can have
long-term psychological impacts ranging from
complex and pathological grief and loss to
self-identity and attachment issues,
anxiety and attachment disor-
ders, personality disorders,
and symptoms of post-
traumatic stress disor-
der.
In 2012, the Aus-
tralian Institute of
Family Studies (AIFS)
conducted research
into past adoption
practices.
More than 1500
people participated in
the study, including 823
adopted persons, 505 moth-
ers, 94 adoptive parents, 94 other
family members, 12 fathers and 58 ser-
vice providers.
The study found mothers in labour had
been tied to beds or held down while pillows
or sheets were held up to obscure any view of
their newborn baby.
Others had been sexually assaulted by
medical professionals or experienced medical
neglect or maltreatment.
Parents had been told their newborn baby
was deceased, when the baby was alive, while
study participants also reported that their con-
sent to adopt was unethically and illegally ob-
tained.
Some babies were used for medical experi-
ments or placed with abusive adoptive parents
while adoptees were also lied to about the cir-
cumstances surrounding their adoption.
The results of the study are being used to
inform the development of guidelines for the
delivery of support and services for people af-
fected by forced adoption.
Australian Psychological Society (APS)
spokesperson and psychologist Dr
Daryl Higgins, who is the deputy
director (research) at the
AIFS, said an overwhelm-
ing majority of people
affected by forced
adoption practices
revealed the experi-
ence had negative
repercussions for
their health and well-
being.
“The kind of nega-
tive effects that we saw
there related to mental
health issues, such as anxi-
ety and depression and things that
would be consistent with what we would
call post-traumatic stress, so that really affects
every day functioning but also in particular it af-
fects relationships,” he said.
“One of the things that I found most dis-
tressing, about the impacts that people were
describing, were particularly the impacts on
their relationships.
“Their relationships with partners, their re-
lationships with children, with not only the chil-
dren they were separated from but particularly
other children that they may have had - that
they really feel these reverberations in their in-
terpersonal relationships throughout their lives.”
Dr Higgins said the Federal Government’s
apology in 2013 was a vital part of the healing
process for people who experienced forced
adoption.
“I think for anyone who has experienced a
significant loss or grief or trauma, a way of recon-
necting with a positive thing that signifies a move-
ment towards recognition of that loss is a way of
being able to heal, particularly because it’s about
that communal recognition,” he said.
“What really came home to me was the inten-
sity of the trauma, that a significant sub-group of
those who had experienced past adoption prac-
tices, were subjected to or were experiencing.
“That ongoing severity I think is in part due to
that lack of recognition up until the national apol-
ogy.
“Until there is recognition, it feels like peo-
ple’s experiences are being denied and silenced
and their trauma rendered irrelevant and incon-
sequential.”
The APS has received funding to develop
and deliver national training and resources to
assist health professionals, including psycholo-
gists, occupational therapists, mental health
nurses, Aboriginal Health Workers, GPs and
psychiatrists, working with people affected by
forced adoption.
While the resources are still being devel-
oped, Dr Higgins said there are several key
measures health professionals can utilise when
working with people affected by forced adop-
tion.
Be accepting and be aware. Clients may not
disclose an experience with forced adoption.
“Be willing to ask the question in an open
way when taking a general kind of intake on
family history,” Dr Higgins suggested. “Often we
don’t ask those questions as practitioners and
therefore we miss out on a part of the story that
actually might help inform an understanding of
what the particular issues are with a client who
is presenting for either a health or medical or
allied health concern. It could be that they are
the parent, it could be that they are the adult,
who as a child was adopted, or it could be an-
other family member, such as a sibling.”
Use the right language. “Often people have
very firm views about how they want to have
their experience described so it is being sensi-
tive, and often phrases like biological or birth
mother might be quite offensive to a mother
who involuntary had a child removed,” Dr Hig-
gins said. “She might see herself as the mother
and to use any adjective to describe that might
diminish her experience. Most importantly, mir-
ror the kind of language a client might be using
in relation to their experiences.”
Do your research. Read about the his-
tory of forced adoption and its impacts. “Link
in more broadly with the kind of research and
understanding that sits behind the apology,” Dr
Higgins said. Health professionals can access
research including the Senate Committee Re-
port on Former Forced Adoption Policies and
Practices. There is also AIFS research including
the Impact of Past Adoption Practices: Summary
of Key Issues from Australian Research (2010),
Past Adoption Experiences: National Research
Study on the Service Response to Past Adoption
Practices (2012) and the Forced Adoption Sup-
port Services Scoping Study (2014). “There are
a range of other researchers around who have
documented either individual case studies and
particularly qualitative research that explores
the experience of a wide variety of people with a
past adoption experience,” Dr Higgins said.

Nursing researchers to receive international honour
Griffith University patient safety nursing re-
searcher Professor Wendy Chaboyer is one of
two Australian researchers set to be inducted into
the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame.
Professor Chaboyer will join Queensland
University of Technology’s Professor Elizabeth
Beattie and 17 nursing researchers from the
United States, Belgium and Canada to be recog-
nised at the Sigma Theta Tau International’s (STTI)
26th International Nursing Research Congress in
Puerto Rico in July.
Professor Chaboyer, who is originally from
Canada and first became interested in research-
ing ways to improve patient care while working
as an intensive care nurse, said the honour rec-
ognises 15 years of her work in nursing research.
“To be recognised by our international com-
munity of nurses - I’m very proud of that,” she
said.
“My colleague Professor Claire Rickard re-
ceived it last year, so Australian researchers are
starting to get a bit of a reputation for the good
quality research we are doing at the international
level.”
Professor Chaboyer’s research focuses on
patient participation in patient safety activities
from clinical handover to pressure injury preven-
tion in a bid to promote active patient engage-
ment in hospital care.
“We know from international work that when
patients are more active in their care, they actual-
ly have better outcomes and there’s less adverse
events,” she said.
Professor Chaboyer, from Griffith’s Centre
for Health Practice Innovation, a part of the Men-
zies Health Institute Queensland, said her early
research work focused on patients being trans-
ferred from intensive care to the ward.
“We found that a liaison nurse role that
helped in that transition actually was beneficial
for the patients, the staff and actually made the
transfer more efficient,” she said.
“More recently, I’ve been working in the area
of the nursing handover. I’ve developed stand-
ard operating protocols for how nurses can give
handover at the patient’s bedside and involve
the patient and the family of the patient.”
Professor Chaboyer is now involved in a
large National Health and Medical Research
Council (NHMRC) study examining how patients
can become more actively involved in pressure
injury prevention care.
The study is being conducted with about
1600 patients spanning eight hospitals, in both
the public and private sectors, across three Aus-
tralian states.
Professor Chaboyer said if the study’s inter-
ventions are a success, it will suggest patients
can play a simple but effective role in pressure
injury prevention.
“We’ve come up with three simple things
that patients can do in partnership with nurses,”
she said.
“Just keep moving - it’s amazing how just
even wriggling in bed makes a difference, eat a
healthy diet and look after your skin,” she said.
“We’ve done preliminary research to show
that patients were willing to participate and so
if the study is positive then the next thing would
be to try to ensure it’s got wide dissemination
and uptake by hospitals both within Australia
and internationally.

Psychological impact of forced adoption
The illegal and unethical forced adop-
tion practices that commonly occurred in
Australia through maternity homes, hospitals,
adoption agencies and privately from the 1940s
through to 1980s has affected thousands of
people.
Research shows forced adoption can have
long-term psychological impacts ranging from
complex and pathological grief and loss to
self-identity and attachment issues,
anxiety and attachment disor-
ders, personality disorders,
and symptoms of post-
traumatic stress disor-
der.
In 2012, the Aus-
tralian Institute of
Family Studies (AIFS)
conducted research
into past adoption
practices.
More than 1500
people participated in
the study, including 823
adopted persons, 505 moth-
ers, 94 adoptive parents, 94 other
family members, 12 fathers and 58 ser-
vice providers.
The study found mothers in labour had
been tied to beds or held down while pillows
or sheets were held up to obscure any view of
their newborn baby.
Others had been sexually assaulted by
medical professionals or experienced medical
neglect or maltreatment.
Parents had been told their newborn baby
was deceased, when the baby was alive, while
study participants also reported that their con-
sent to adopt was unethically and illegally ob-
tained.
Some babies were used for medical experi-
ments or placed with abusive adoptive parents
while adoptees were also lied to about the cir-
cumstances surrounding their adoption.
The results of the study are being used to
inform the development of guidelines for the
delivery of support and services for people af-
fected by forced adoption.
Australian Psychological Society (APS)
spokesperson and psychologist Dr
Daryl Higgins, who is the deputy
director (research) at the
AIFS, said an overwhelm-
ing majority of people
affected by forced
adoption practices
revealed the experi-
ence had negative
repercussions for
their health and well-
being.
“The kind of nega-
tive effects that we saw
there related to mental
health issues, such as anxi-
ety and depression and things that
would be consistent with what we would
call post-traumatic stress, so that really affects
every day functioning but also in particular it af-
fects relationships,” he said.
“One of the things that I found most dis-
tressing, about the impacts that people were
describing, were particularly the impacts on
their relationships.
“Their relationships with partners, their re-
lationships with children, with not only the chil-
dren they were separated from but particularly
other children that they may have had - that
they really feel these reverberations in their in-
terpersonal relationships throughout their lives.”
Dr Higgins said the Federal Government’s
apology in 2013 was a vital part of the healing
process for people who experienced forced
adoption.
“I think for anyone who has experienced a
significant loss or grief or trauma, a way of recon-
necting with a positive thing that signifies a move-
ment towards recognition of that loss is a way of
being able to heal, particularly because it’s about
that communal recognition,” he said.
“What really came home to me was the inten-
sity of the trauma, that a significant sub-group of
those who had experienced past adoption prac-
tices, were subjected to or were experiencing.
“That ongoing severity I think is in part due to
that lack of recognition up until the national apol-
ogy.
“Until there is recognition, it feels like peo-
ple’s experiences are being denied and silenced
and their trauma rendered irrelevant and incon-
sequential.”
The APS has received funding to develop
and deliver national training and resources to
assist health professionals, including psycholo-
gists, occupational therapists, mental health
nurses, Aboriginal Health Workers, GPs and
psychiatrists, working with people affected by
forced adoption.
While the resources are still being devel-
oped, Dr Higgins said there are several key
measures health professionals can utilise when
working with people affected by forced adop-
tion.
Be accepting and be aware. Clients may not
disclose an experience with forced adoption.
“Be willing to ask the question in an open
way when taking a general kind of intake on
family history,” Dr Higgins suggested. “Often we
don’t ask those questions as practitioners and
therefore we miss out on a part of the story that
actually might help inform an understanding of
what the particular issues are with a client who
is presenting for either a health or medical or
allied health concern. It could be that they are
the parent, it could be that they are the adult,
who as a child was adopted, or it could be an-
other family member, such as a sibling.”
Use the right language. “Often people have
very firm views about how they want to have
their experience described so it is being sensi-
tive, and often phrases like biological or birth
mother might be quite offensive to a mother
who involuntary had a child removed,” Dr Hig-
gins said. “She might see herself as the mother
and to use any adjective to describe that might
diminish her experience. Most importantly, mir-
ror the kind of language a client might be using
in relation to their experiences.”
Do your research. Read about the his-
tory of forced adoption and its impacts. “Link
in more broadly with the kind of research and
understanding that sits behind the apology,” Dr
Higgins said. Health professionals can access
research including the Senate Committee Re-
port on Former Forced Adoption Policies and
Practices. There is also AIFS research including
the Impact of Past Adoption Practices: Summary
of Key Issues from Australian Research (2010),
Past Adoption Experiences: National Research
Study on the Service Response to Past Adoption
Practices (2012) and the Forced Adoption Sup-
port Services Scoping Study (2014). “There are
a range of other researchers around who have
documented either individual case studies and
particularly qualitative research that explores
the experience of a wide variety of people with a
past adoption experience,” Dr Higgins said.

Nursing researchers to receive international honour
Griffith University patient safety nursing re-
searcher Professor Wendy Chaboyer is one of
two Australian researchers set to be inducted into
the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame.
Professor Chaboyer will join Queensland
University of Technology’s Professor Elizabeth
Beattie and 17 nursing researchers from the
United States, Belgium and Canada to be recog-
nised at the Sigma Theta Tau International’s (STTI)
26th International Nursing Research Congress in
Puerto Rico in July.
Professor Chaboyer, who is originally from
Canada and first became interested in research-
ing ways to improve patient care while working
as an intensive care nurse, said the honour rec-
ognises 15 years of her work in nursing research.
“To be recognised by our international com-
munity of nurses - I’m very proud of that,” she
said.
“My colleague Professor Claire Rickard re-
ceived it last year, so Australian researchers are
starting to get a bit of a reputation for the good
quality research we are doing at the international
level.”
Professor Chaboyer’s research focuses on
patient participation in patient safety activities
from clinical handover to pressure injury preven-
tion in a bid to promote active patient engage-
ment in hospital care.
“We know from international work that when
patients are more active in their care, they actual-
ly have better outcomes and there’s less adverse
events,” she said.
Professor Chaboyer, from Griffith’s Centre
for Health Practice Innovation, a part of the Men-
zies Health Institute Queensland, said her early
research work focused on patients being trans-
ferred from intensive care to the ward.
“We found that a liaison nurse role that
helped in that transition actually was beneficial
for the patients, the staff and actually made the
transfer more efficient,” she said.
“More recently, I’ve been working in the area
of the nursing handover. I’ve developed stand-
ard operating protocols for how nurses can give
handover at the patient’s bedside and involve
the patient and the family of the patient.”
Professor Chaboyer is now involved in a
large National Health and Medical Research
Council (NHMRC) study examining how patients
can become more actively involved in pressure
injury prevention care.
The study is being conducted with about
1600 patients spanning eight hospitals, in both
the public and private sectors, across three Aus-
tralian states.
Professor Chaboyer said if the study’s inter-
ventions are a success, it will suggest patients
can play a simple but effective role in pressure
injury prevention.
“We’ve come up with three simple things
that patients can do in partnership with nurses,”
she said.
“Just keep moving - it’s amazing how just
even wriggling in bed makes a difference, eat a
healthy diet and look after your skin,” she said.
“We’ve done preliminary research to show
that patients were willing to participate and so
if the study is positive then the next thing would
be to try to ensure it’s got wide dissemination
and uptake by hospitals both within Australia
and internationally.
