ABSTRACT The use of digital technology by young remote First Nations Australians remains under-investigated. This research followed the everyday lives of 30 birth-to-aged 6-year-old children from three distinct and diverse remote communities in the Ngaanyatjarra and Pintupi region of the Western Desert. This article explores the intertwined nature of new cultural variations, such as digital technology in daily life, and the acquisition and transmission of cultural practices and processes. Whilst digital technology is in proliferation, argument is made that, regardless of the influx of digital devices and access, “traditional” (First Nations systems) childhood socialisation values and practices remain relatively unchanged. Despite exposure to Western digital technologies, findings indicate Ngaanyatjarra and Pintupi practices, values, morals and dispositions are not being replaced by “modern” culture. Further, exploring youngsters’ digital technology use may shed light on cultural variations to First Nations socialisation practices and core societal values.

ABSTRACT Secondary education access for remote Northern Territory Indigenous Australian students is limited. Although many students attend boarding schools, few complete Year 12. Whole communities rarely engage in their children’s boarding school education and boarding schools seldom engage with Elders to support a child’s cultural journey. This article presents research findings from interviews conducted with two adults from a very remote Indigenous community and six staff from a partner Western interstate boarding school community. Using a qualitative methodology with phenomenological design, findings show how students achieve Western educational success whilst maintaining their culture and offer implications, including possible model replication, for other communities.

ABSTRACT Evidence-based practice (EBP) has gained appreciable recognition in health service delivery. Knowledge about EBP in developing countries, however, appears to be limited, despite practitioners’ understanding of the concept having a high propensity to influence adoption and implementation. This article presents findings from research conducted to investigate clinicians’ knowledge and barriers to EBP adoption in Ghana. Criterion purposive sampling was used to recruit 13 clinicians from Wa West District Hospital and health centres across the district to conduct qualitative interviews. Thematic analysis found clinicians have a paucity of knowledge about EBP as all clinicians considered sources of knowledge to include the Standard Nursing Guide and books. Findings uncovered clinicians paid very little attention to published scientific research and saw clients’ experiences as valuable sources of knowledge. Clinicians attributed limited knowledge of EBP to limited familiarity with the concept and poor technology regime. Practical and policy implications of findings are discussed.

ABSTRACT The United States is changing demographically, and Hispanics/Latinos are the largest minority group in the country. Often, Hispanics/Latinos are the driving force behind population stabilization and growth in non-metropolitan areas. Examining life satisfaction among Hispanic/Latino immigrant residents is critical to ensuring the viability of these communities. The purpose of this study was to explore life satisfaction among Hispanic/Latino immigrants in non-metropolitan communities in the Midwest. The sample included 206 participants (M age = 39 years old; 61.1% female). Results indicated that life satisfaction was rated high. There were significant positive bivariate correlations between life satisfaction and sense of community, perceived safety, and good health, and there was a significant negative bivariate correlation between life satisfaction and discrimination. The linear regression model showed that sense of community, perceived safety, and community of residence were significant predictors of life satisfaction. This study has implications for community development initiatives in rural areas with immigrant residents.

ABSTRACT This exploratory study aimed to understand the complexities and particularities of social service practices with men who use intimate partner violence in rural areas. Ten rural service providers in Western Australia, New South Wales, Victoria, and South Australia participated in qualitative, semi-structured, in-depth interviews. A combined inductive and deductive approach to thematic analysis was used to identify key themes. Themes were: metro-centrism implicit in services’ design and systems and workforce factors pertaining to experience, training, attitudes, and practitioners’ ways of working to respond to their local context. The article employs an intersectional framework to discuss the varying accounts of practitioners and the diversity between service provision in places broadly classed as “rural.” Implications are identified for the design and implementation of rural social services’ policy and, specifically, how rural communities can be best supported to respond to men’s use of IPV.

ABSTRACT The aim of the present research was to investigate the effect of a health education intervention on promoting skin cancer preventive behaviours (SCPBs) among rural farmers in Illam, Iran during May to July 2017. A sample of 248 participants, where each participant was randomly assigned into either the experimental (n = 124) or control (n = 124) group. The experimental group received eighteducational sessions (lectures, question and answer sessions, field training, pamphlets, posters). All participants completed a researcher designed questionnaire. In the experimental group a significant difference was observed between all scales (perceived susceptibility, perceived severity, rewards, response efficacy, self-efficacy, response costs, and protection motivation) before, immediately after, and two months after the intervention (p > 0.05). The present findings support the effectiveness of interventions based on PMT to change attitudes and behaviours related to skin cancer among rural farmers.

ABSTRACT Traditional farming that changes to profitable agribusiness can serve a machine for rural modernisation. This article assesses factors that determined the decision of smallholder vegetable producers to participate in vegetable-based agribusiness and analyses the impact of agribusiness participation and other determinants on the economic returns. Structural equation modelling was employed to show a proposed model of cumulative causation theory. Data were compiled from a quantitative survey of 357 selected farm households located in major vegetable-producing areas of Bali and Java, Indonesia. Results show that human capital and household endowment motivated farmers to participate in vegetable-based agribusiness. Women's participation significantly contributed to agribusiness participation and agribusiness participation led to income generation. Opportunities exist to expand vegetable-based agribusiness and increase farmers’ income by providing adequate access to transportation infrastructure, an advantageous agribusiness environment, and investing in human capital through training and extension services.
