Scoping study for knowledge, attitudes and behaviours survey towards relationships, sexual and reproductive health among young people in Ireland
(2005)
Layte, Richard; Williams, James; Quail, Amanda; McGee, Hannah
Abstract:
Conducted by the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in collaboration with the Economic and Social Research Institute on behalf of the Crisis Pregnancy Agency
Sex and sexual behaviour are an extremely important aspect of human behaviour, with implications for both individuals and societies. Sexual relationships can give immense pleasure and fulfilment to individuals, create families and ultimately underpin the viability of societies, but they can also have less positive consequences. For example, rates of sexually transmitted infections have been increasing strongly in Ireland since the mid-1990s, and rates of crisis pregnancy also seem to be increasing (NDSC 2004). More worryingly, much of the increase in STIs has been among younger people and particularly those under 25. It also appears that pregnancy rates among women under 20 have been increasing over the last 15 years, although statistics here are problematic and need to be contextualised. For example, the birth rate among...

<p>The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) is a large-scale, nationally representative study of people aged 50 and over in Ireland. It is the most ambitious study of ageing ever carried out in Ireland and represents a step-change in terms of data, knowledge and understanding of ageing with which to inform policy and novel research. TILDA is designed to maximise comparability with other well-established international longitudinal studies. More than 8,000 people aged 50 and over accepted the invitation to participate in the ...

The SAVI report: sexual abuse and violence in Ireland
(2002)
McGee, Hannah; Garavan, Rebecca; de Barra, Mairead; Byrne, Joanne; Conroy, Ronán
Abstract:
<p>Conducted by the Health Services Research Centre, Department of Psychology, Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland in association with the Dublin Rape Crisis Centre.</p>
<p>The prevalence of sexual violence in Ireland is unknown. Incomplete evidence from crime statistics, previous research reports and service uptake figures is insufficient to understand the nature and extent of the problem and to plan and evaluate services and preventive interventions. The main aim of the SAVI study was to estimate the prevalence of various forms of sexual violence among Irish women and men across the lifespan from childhood through adulthood. Additional aims of the study were to describe who had been abused, the perpetrators of abuse, the context in which abuse occurred and some psychological consequences of abuse; to describe the pattern of disclosure of such abuse to others, including professionals; to document public beliefs about and perceived prevalence of sexual violenc...

Managing Complaints about Doctors: Stakeholder Perspectives of the Role of the Medical Council in Ireland

McCarthy, Siobhan; McGee, Hannah; O'Boyle, Ciaran
Abstract:
<p>This report is available to download from<a href="http://www.medicalcouncil.ie/News-and-Publications/Publications/Information-for-Doctors/Managing-Complaints-about-Doctors.pdf"> http://www.medicalcouncil.ie/News-and-Publications/Publications/Information-for-Doctors/Managing-Complaints-about-Doctors.pdf</a></p>
<p>This study has quantified the number of complaints made about doctors to hospitals in Ireland over a five year period. Complaints about doctors represented a minority of overall complaints to hospitals. They predominantly concerned clinical care and communication issues. There were few patient complaints about unprofessional behaviour. Hospitals rarely referred complaints to the Irish Medical Council. Thus current practice differs significantly from that envisaged in the new legislative framework. There is a need to promote transparent, efficient and effective regulation through a standardised inter-agency approach.</p>

<p>The SLÁN 2007 survey contained a series of questions relating to alcohol use. These included questions about frequency (how often) an quantity (how much) of alcohol consumed, as well as questions about alcohol-related harm. Quantity of alcohol consumed was assessed by asking respondents how many standard drinks were taken, a ‘standard’ drink being defined as a half pint or a glass of beer, lager or cider; a single measure of spirits; a single glass of wine, sherry or port; or a bottle of alcopop (long neck). This report forms part of a series of reports which seek to contextualise the SLÁN 2007 findings (see p. iv for full list of SLÁN...

Abstract:
<p>In Ireland, in the context of an increasingly knowledge-focused society, financial support for health-related research has increased exponentially in the last decade. Yet little is known about the views of the public, in Ireland and elsewhere, on developments in science, medicine and technology which affect their lives. The aim of the present study was to provide the first nationally representative profile regarding public perceptions on use of human tissue in medical research in Ireland. Specifically, the research aimed to provide nationally representative data on: public willingness to donate a tissue sample for medical research; public preferences for informed consent procedures in relation to the use and storage of human tissue for medical research; public preferences for tissue storage (linked or unlinked model of storage); level of feedback on research findings considered desirable by the public; public awareness of, and attitudes towards, the recent organ retention c...

Career Progression of Migrant Nurses in Ireland: Nurse Migration Project Policy Brief 5
(2009)
Humphries, Niamh; Brugha, Ruairi; McGee, Hannah
Abstract:
The career progression of migrant nurses within the Irish health system was an issue raised in our discussions with key stakeholders. Concern was raised that few migrant nurses had achieved managerial grades in Ireland (CNM1 or CNM2) and that perhaps this stemmed from a reluctance to apply for senior posts. Evidence internationally suggests that migrant health workers frequently occupy less desirable posts [1,2] within the health systems of their host countries and that they struggle to achieve career progression [3]. A number of reasons have been cited for their stalled career progression and these include poor take-up of training [4], a lack of transparency in the management of promotions [3] and ‘discrimination in the quality of support given to candidates in the promotion process. . .whereby chosen candidates were pre-selected and coached whilst others were ignored or received inadequate or misleading support’ [3]. This policy brief, which presents findings on the skills and exp...

Retaining Migrant Nurses in Ireland II. Nurse Migration Project Policy Brief 3
(2009)
Humphries, Niamh; Brugha, Ruairi; McGee, Hannah
Abstract:
Active overseas recruitment efforts have attracted large numbers of migrant nurses into the Irish health system [1]. However, it will be Ireland’s ability to retain these nurses that will determine the long-term effectiveness of this workforce strategy. This is a key consideration both for individual employers and at national policy level [2], given the extent of Ireland’s reliance upon migrant nurses [1]. There is recognition internationally that poor support structures in the host country may encourage migrant nurses to seek employment elsewhere [2]. The challenge to retain these nurses takes place, as their recruitment did, in the context of intense global competition for nurses, which Kingma has called ‘the international war for skills’ [3]. This policy brief , which presents findings on migrant nurse retention in Ireland, cautions against the assumption that migrant nurses are all ‘here to stay’. The findings point to the need to engage with them to better understand the dynami...

A Profile of Migrant Nurses in Ireland. Nurse Migration Project Policy Brief 4
(2009)
Humphries, Niamh; Brugha, Ruairi; McGee, Hannah
Abstract:
Migrant nurses, mainly from outside of the EU, are now an essential component of the Irish nursing workforce. This is the result of almost a decade of active overseas nurse recruitment from countries such as India and the Philippines. Between 2000 and 2008, non-EU migrant nurses accounted for 40% of nurses newly registered with the Irish Nursing Board [2] (see Fig. 1). According to the INO, "It is a reality, not readily acknowledged by Irish health employers, that this country would now be forced to close literally thousands of beds”’ [3] without the presence of migrant nurses in the health system. Despite this reliance, there is little information available about Ireland’s migrant nurse workforce. Some quite basic questions remain unanswered including: How many migrant nurses currently work in Ireland? In what fields of nursing and at what grades do they work? How many are women and how many men? What ages are they? What skills and experience did they bring to Ireland and ar...

Abstract:
<p>The original publication is available from http://www.biomedcentral.com</p>
<p>Background: The aim of the study was to explore the acceptability and uptake of on-campus screening using a youth friendly approach in two Third Level higher education institutions (HEIs). This study is part of wider research exploring the optimal setting for chlamydia screening in Ireland. Methods: Male and female students were given the opportunity to take a free anonymous test for chlamydia during a one week programme of "pee-in-a-pot" days at two HEI campuses in the West of Ireland. The study was set up after extensive consultation with the two HEIs and advertised on the two campuses using a variety of media in the two weeks preceding the screening days. Screening involved the provision and distribution of testing packs at communal areas and in toilet facilities. In Ireland, chlamydia notifications are highest amongst 20-29 year olds and hence the screening criterion...

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: This paper presents data on the remittances sent by migrant nurses to their families "back home". It gives voice to the experiences of migrant nurses and illustrates the financial obligations they maintain while working overseas. Although the international economic recession has decreased global remittance flows, they remain resilient. Drawing on the experiences of migrant nurses in Ireland, this paper indicates how and why migrants strive to maintain remittance flows, even in an economic downturn. METHODS: A mixed-methods approach was employed, and the paper draws on data from qualitative in-depth interviews undertaken with 21 migrant nurses in addition to a quantitative survey of 336 migrant nurses in Ireland. RESULTS: The survey of migrant nurses reveal...

Abstract:
This article is available at http://www.sciencedirect.com.
This paper presents an analysis of Ireland's recent experience of overseas nurse recruitment. Ireland began actively recruiting nurses from overseas in 2000 and has recruited almost 10,000 nurses, primarily from India and the Philippines since that time. This paper takes a timely look at the Irish experience to date. It reviews the literature on the supply and demand factors that determine the need for, and the international migration of, nurses and presents working visa and nurse registration statistics. This enables the authors to quantify and discuss the trends and scale of recent nurse migration to Ireland from outside the European Union (EU). The paper discusses the data essential for national workforce planning and highlights the deficiencies in the Irish data currently available for that purpose. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of Ireland's heavy reliance on overseas nurse recru...

ABSTRACT: BACKGROUND: Although international nurse recruitment campaigns have succeeded in attracting large numbers of migrant nurses to countries such as Ireland, where domestic supply has not kept pace with demand, the long-term success of such initiatives from a workforce planning perspective will depend on the extent to which these nurses can be retained in destination countries. METHODS: This paper draws on qualitative, in-depth interviews undertaken with 21 migrant nurses in Ireland, focusing specifically on their future migration intentions. RESULTS: Our findings indicate that more than half of the respondents are considering migration onwards, for the most part because the destination country has failed to provide them with sufficient stability, particularly in terms of citizenship and family reu...

Abstract:

<p>OBJECTIVE: Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) is a rare malignancy associated with exposure to asbestos. The protracted latent period of MPM means that its incidence has continued to rise across Europe after the introduction of restrictions on asbestos use. In order to obtain a clearer indication of trends in the Republic of Ireland (ROI), incidence and survival were assessed based on all MPM cases reported since the establishment of the National Cancer Registry of Ireland (NCR).</p> <p>METHODS: NCR recorded 337 MPM diagnoses in the ROI during 1994-2009. Survival was assessed for all cases diagnosed with adequate follow-up (n=330). Crude and European age-standardized incidence rates were calculated for all cases and for 4-year periods. A Cox model of observed (all-cause) survival was used to gener...

Determining the status of non-transferred embryos in Ireland: a conspectus of case law and implications for clinical IVF practice.

Abstract:
<p>This article is also available from http://www.biomedcentral.com/</p>
<p>The development of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) as a treatment for human infertilty was among the most controversial medical achievements of the modern era. In Ireland, the fate and status of supranumary (non-transferred) embryos derived from IVF brings challenges both for clinical practice and public health policy because there is no judicial or legislative framework in place to address the medical, scientific, or ethical uncertainties. Complex legal issues exist regarding informed consent and ownership of embryos, particularly the use of non-transferred embryos if a couple separates or divorces. But since case law is only beginning to emerge from outside Ireland and because legislation on IVF and human embryo status is entirely absent here, this matter is poised to raise contractual, constitutional and property law issues at the highest level. Our analysis examines this medico-legal c...

Abstract:
<p>The production of this report is supported by the Health Research Board through their Knowledge Exchange and Dissemination Award which aims to maximise the uptake of research findings into policy and practice.</p> <p>See further information about the <a href="http://www.rcsi.ie/perl" target="_blank">Psychiatric Epidemiology Research across the Lifespan (PERL)</a> Group.</p>
<p>There is increasing concern about the mental health of young people in Ireland. Reports of psychological distress, substance abuse and suicide among Irish youths have become common. While we know that many young people in Ireland are experiencing mental distress, little research has been done to determine the actual number of young people who are experiencing a diagnosable mental disorder. This report goes some way towards addressing this issue by presenting findings from two research studies that have used clinical interview assessments to e...

Meshkat, Babak
Abstract:
<p>Recent reports have suggested that day case rates vary significantly across Irish hospitals. Aim: To gain an understanding of the structures and processes which currently facilitate or constrain optimisation of day surgery in Ireland and development of recommendations for future practice including how barriers may be overcome.</p> <p><strong>Method</strong>: A two stage study was undertaken. The first stage aimed to develop an understanding of current day surgery practices. A national survey of private and public hospitals day surgery activity in Ireland was undertaken. This was followed by an in-depth chart review of 200 patient charts from two Irish teaching hospitals to outline current practices in elective surgical services. The second stage built on the first stage and aimed to develop statements of best practice for day surgery. A three round electronic Delphi process (eDelphi) aimed towards gaining consensus among experts in the field was unde...

Public policy and health behaviour: An investigation of tobacco control policy and smoking in Ireland
(2013)
Currie, Laurie Michelle
Abstract:
<p><strong>Aim:</strong> This thesis documents four interrelated studies, which seek to understand the impact tobacco control policies have had on patterns of smoking in Ireland.</p> <p><strong>Methods:</strong> Study 1 critically compares four tobacco use surveys in Ireland: SLAN, OTC, EURO, and FAST, and examines trends in smoking prevalence and social inequalities in smoking between 1990 and 2011. Study 2 re-contacts young adult respondents to SLAN 2007 (age 20-39 years, n = 1039; 83% response rate) to complete structured telephone interviews three years later. This study examines factors associated with continuity and change in smoking, and cessation related outcomes (quit intentions, quit attempts and nicotine dependence). Study 3 uses the same young adult follow-up data to examine responses to a recent large tax increase and estimates factors associated with compensatory behaviour. Lastly, Study 4 employed IrelandSS - an adapted versio...
