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 reconnecting with a positive thing that signifies a movement 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 intensity of the trauma, that a significant sub-group of those who had experienced past adoption practices, were subjected to or were experiencing.

“That ongoing severity I think is in part due to that lack of recognition up until the national apology.

“Until there is recognition, it feels like people’s experiences are being denied and silenced and their trauma rendered irrelevant and inconsequential.”

The APS has received funding to develop and deliver national training and resources to assist health professionals, including psychologists, occupational therapists, mental health nurses, Aboriginal Health Workers, GPs and psychiatrists, working with people affected by forced adoption.

While the resources are still being developed, Dr Higgins said there are several key measures health professionals can utilise when working with people affected by forced adoption.

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 another 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 sensitive, and often phrases like biological or birth mother might be quite offensive to a mother who involuntary had a child removed,” Dr Higgins said. “She might see herself as the mother and to use any adjective to describe that might diminish her experience. Most importantly, mirror the kind of language a client might be using in relation to their experiences.”

Do your research. Read about the history 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 Report 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 Support 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

By Karen Keast Griffith University patient safety nursing researcher 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 recognised 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 researching ways to improve patient care while working as an intensive care nurse, said the honour recognises 15 years of her work in nursing research.

“To be recognised by our international community of nurses - I’m very proud of that,” she said.

“My colleague Professor Claire Rickard received 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 prevention in a bid to promote active patient engagement in hospital care.

“We know from international work that when patients are more active in their care, they actually 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 Menzies Health Institute Queensland, said her early research work focused on patients being transferred 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 standard 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 Australian states.

Professor Chaboyer said if the study’s interventions 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.
