He dropped his revolver and ran again, and slewed around; I fired with the gun again and shot him through the right chest, as I did not know he had dropped his revolver and was turning to surrender. Had they been my own brothers I could not help shooting them or else let them shoot me, which they would have done had their bullets been directed as they intended them. In his evidence at Ned Kelly. It did not furnish any evidence of being cut off. I thought it might have been gnawed off by native cats. The body was much decomposed. I was instructed that there was no necessity. The cause of death was a gunshot wound through the chest. In December 2. 00. Martin Leonard wrote in the Australian Police Journal that a report in the Argus dated June 3 1. The sergeant was, according to information received by the paper, handcuffed to a tree where he remained throughout the following morning while he was interrogated before being eventually murdered. In his examination, Dr. Reynolds noted that the right ear was detached from Kennedy. Might it have been a two legged animal? I put his cloak over him and left him as well as I could, and were they my own brothers, I could not have felt more sorry for them. This cannot be called willful murder for I was compelled to shoot them, or lie down and let them shoot me. The encounter was the brutal and inevitable outcome of the struggle that was occurring in rural Victoria in the 1. Dr Haldane in his excellent history of the Victorian Police Force . They were also used to remove selector. One officer described the presence of his men in parts of north- eastern Victoria as . Dr Haldane records that at a time when Irish settlers represented only 1. Victorian Police were 8. Irish, of which 4. Royal Irish Constabulary. It is impossible to compare the police force of the time with a modern understanding of the role of police. Many of the Irish police were inured to the ways of the RIC, accepting such duties and methods as normal. Victorian police were known to resort to perjury, brutality and the use of extensive . In Victoria the squatters had much to thank the Irish landlords policing precedent. The policeman of the time worked a seven day week, with no rest days or public holidays, and was granted only twelve days leave a year. This contrasted with all other civil servants who were paid annual wage increments, and received at least one rest day each week, ten public holidays a year and twenty- one days annual leave. Constables worked from five am to five pm. Night duty was a fixed shift from 9pm to 5am, for 1. Most of the police who figured in Ned Kelly. Although always portrayed as Irish, Constable Alexander Fitzpatrick was an Australian native born son of English parents. Alex Mc. Dermott might be surprised to discover that Police Commissioner Standish was also part of the . Dr Haldane writes that . Sgt Kennedy had served on the Dublin Metropolitan Police, a fine body of men distinct from the Constabulary. Mc. Intyre wrote that the stock protection societies . The reward thus offered was nominally 1. Sgt Kennedy had received several of these rewards. Wilson Hall, newspaper proprietor and future member of the Royal Commission, wrote in . Kennedy told Mc. Intyre as they looked for the Hollands Creek crossing . Strangely, they all tried to sleep that night, no watch being taken. In the morning Kennedy and Scanlon rode out together, in the words of Mc. Intyre . Presumably the unnamed Commissioner is G. I expected to go to Hedi Station (to meet the other patrol then to scour the country). I asked Kennedy, in a jocular manner, why he came there, and he said . Graves MLA includes 1. They would not have gone to that place without some pretty well grounded information. It was suggested that Perkins also warned the Kellys of the search party. By encouraging Kennedy to try to get the reward for himself and Scanlon, the four troopers were divided to the obvious advantage of Ned and Dan. Question 1. 55. 26: It is asserted, I do not know with what authority, that this was part of a plan to lead them into a trap. The Royal Commission was critical of Sgt Kennedy, finding . He not only divided his party, but allowed Mc. Intyre to fire off his rifle at some birds, thus attracting the Kellys to the spot. His account of the unveiling of the Mansfield Monument by Captain Standish is totally factual, he states: And in the rain, disguised only by overalls and the total unexpectedness of his presence, stood Ned Kelly, listening to the words spoken by Captain Standish in honour of the dead. Some in the crowd noticed one who, in spite of the rain, reverently lifted his hat and stood with uncovered head and face bent down during the ceremony. It was he. Dr Haldane writes that . Lives were lost, careers ruined and the innermost workings of the force made the subject of public scrutiny, debate and ridicule. In the final analysis it was found that many of the police . During his time as an outlaw Kelly and his companions tested the basic capabilities of the police to the limit . It was both a tragic and humiliating time for the police; they were pilloried in the newspapers, criticized in parliament and made antagonistic towards each other in the field. The destruction of the gang did not, however, bring respite for the beleaguered force, for the spectre of Kelly caused them as much anguish in death as he did in life. Dr Haldane describes the RC as a . In like manner they seldom, if ever, made a victim of a poor man. And thus they weaved a certain halo of romance and rough chivalry around themselves, which was worth a great deal to them, much in the same way as did the British highwaymen during the last century. Public opinion started to shift and the debate began. Dr Haldane quotes retiring Commissioner of the Australian Federal Police Sir Colin Wood an Englishman as saying . Many prominent Australians went to see the monster of the Wombat Murders at his Melbourne trial. Archibald, founder of the Bulletin magazine and the man, who gave the annual Archibald Prize for portrait painting to the nation, was in the public gallery at the trial in October 1. He is a rather handsome and essentially manly looking fellow. His principal characteristics are his height, which is above the average, and the largeness of his eyes, which are of a pale blue or steel grey hue, and are guarded by remarkably long lashes. His eyebrows are heavy and almost straight, and his lips, so far as one can see, are so thin and determined- looking as to seem in some regards out of keeping with his Celtic cheekbones. He was then decapitated, eviscerated and his headless body buried in an unmarked grave. It is said that his skull was used as a macabre paperweight. His three confederates did not escape justice . Thomas Mc. Intyre was the only survivor of the eight men who clashed so violently at Stringy Bark Creek. Kelly wrote: I do not pretend that I have led a blameless life, or that one fault justifies another, but the public, judging a case like mine, should remember that the darkest life has a bright side, and after the worst has been said against a man, he may, if he is heard, tell a story in his own rough way that will lead them to soften the harshness of their thoughts against him and find as many excuses for him as he would plead for himself. The enduring fascination with the Kelly saga should not be a reason for Australian police forces to feel . She writes of her grandfather Dr Samuel Reynolds of Mansfield. Accompanied by his son Willy he travelled to Melbourne by coach and Willy often recalled how on the long journey back his father puzzled over the life and death of Ned Kelly. While he deplored utterly the brutality of the Kelly gang and had indeed suffered personal sorrow in the death of Michael Kennedy he had been impressed, as many were, by the demeanor of Kelly in the dock. Something had gone gravely wrong, he said to his son, that a young man of native intelligence, fierce family loyalty and courage should have become a murderer and an outlaw.

Care- seeking decisions for worsening symptoms in heart failure: a qualitative metasynthesis', Heart Lung and Circulation, Cardiac Society of Australia and New Zealand, Elsevier, Melbourne, pp. View/Download from: UTS OPUS or Publisher's site. Purpose: Over 5. 0% of heart failure (HF) patients delay seeking help for worsening symptoms until these reach acute levels and require emergency hospitalisation. This metasynthesis aimed to identify and explore factors influencing timely care- seeking in patients with HF. Studies were included if they were peer reviewed journal articles written in English, and reported perspectives of HF patients following qualitative data collection and analysis. Forty articles underwent analysis following the approach of Thomas and Harden. Leventhal's self- regulatory model (SRM) was used to organise the literature. Factors not accounted for included patients' appraisals of previous care- seeking experiences, perceived system and provider barriers to accessing care, and the influence of external appraisals. When added to factors already represented in the model, such as misattribution of symptoms, not identifying with HF diagnosis, cognitive status, lack of understanding information provided, adaptation to symptoms, and emotional responses, a more comprehensive account of patients' decision- making was revealed. This information can be used to tailor education, communication, and service initiatives to improve HF patients' responses to worsening symptoms. Ivynian, S. E., Hwang, C., Mc.

Health- seeking behavior of Filipino migrants in Australia: The influence of persisting acculturative stress and depression', Journal of Immigrant and Minority Health, vol. View/Download from: UTS OPUS or Publisher's site. This study examined the relationships among the constructs of acculturative stress, depression, English language use, health literacy, and social support and the influence of these factors on health- seeking behaviors of Filipino Australians. Using a self- administered questionnaire, 5. November 2. 01. 0 to June 2. Structural equation modelling was used to examine relationships. A direct and negative relationship between health- seeking behaviors and depression, and an indirect relationship with acculturative stress, was observed mediated through depression. Social support had an important moderating influence on these effects. Although there was an inverse relationship between age and English language usage and depression, age was positively related to health- seeking behavior. Despite their long duration of stay, Filipino Australian migrants continue to experience acculturative stress and depression leading to lower health- seeking behaviors. This study highlights the importance of screening for acculturative stress and depression in migrants and fostering social support. Sayers, J. M., Salamonson, Y., Di. Giacomo, M. 2. 01. Validation of the professional practice environment scale in nurse educators in hospitals', Nurse Researcher, vol. View/Download from: UTS OPUS& copy; 2. RCNi Ltd. Aim: To report an assessment of the psychometric properties of the Professional Practice Environment (PPE) scale in a sample of Australian nurse educators in acute care hospitals. Background: Although nurse educators are important in an enabling work environment, there has been no reported exploration of their satisfaction with work in acute care hospitals. Discussion: The factor structure and internal consistency of the PPE scale were consistent with Erickson's eight- factor model of the items, indicating the appropriateness of the scale as an assessment tool to measure the PPE of nurse educators. Conclusion: The PPE scale is useful for monitoring the work environment of nurse educators in clinical practice and the environmental effects influencing their recruitment, retention and job satisfaction. Implications for practice: This work may inform the development of integrated professional practice environments where the professional practice and workplace satisfaction of nurse educators are optimised, influencing safe, quality patient care. Deek, H., Hamilton, S., Brown, N., Inglis, S. C., Di. Giacomo, M., Newton, P., Noureddine, S., Macdonald, P. Family- centred approaches to healthcare interventions in chronic diseases in adults: a quantitative systematic review.', Journal of Advanced Nursing, vol. View/Download from: UTS OPUS or Publisher's site. Increasingly there is a focus on self- care strategies for both malignant and non- malignant conditions. Models of self- care interventions have focussed on the individual and less on the broader context of family and society. In many societies, decision- making and health seeking behaviours, involve family members. To identify elements of effective family- centred self- care interventions that are likely to improve outcomes of adults living with chronic conditions. Review paper. MEDLINE (Ovid), CINAHL, Academic Search Complete, Psych. Info and Scopus between 2. Quantitative studies targeting patient outcomes through family- centred interventions in adults were retrieved using systematic methods in January, 2. Search terms used were: 'family', 'spouse', 'carer', 'caregiver', 'chronic', 'chronic disease', 'self- care', 'self- management' and 'self- efficacy'. Reference lists were reviewed. Risk of bias assessment was performed using the Cochrane Collaboration's tool. Data were reported using a narrative summary approach. Ten studies were identified. Improvements were noted in readmission rates, emergency department presentations, and anxiety levels using family- centred interventions compared with controls. Elements of effective interventions used were a family- centred approach, active learning strategy and transitional care with appropriate follow- up. Involving the family in self- care has shown some positive results for patients with chronic conditions. The benefits of family- centred care may be more likely in specific socio- cultural contexts. The review has year limits and further research needs to identify support for both the patients and family caregivers. Murray- Parahi, P., Di. Giacomo, M., Jackson, D.
