Survey - Academic dishonesty amongst nursing students in Australia
Undergraduate nursing students are invited to take part in a research project that aims to explore the concept of academic dishonesty amongst nursing students in Australia. The study is being led by Professor Melanie Birks from the College of Healthcare Sciences at James Cook University. The study will describe the nature and extent of academic dishonesty amongst nursing students in Australia and explore relationships between individual characteristics, social desirability bias and academic dishonesty.
All nursing students currently enrolled in undergraduate degree programs in Australia are invited to participate.
If you agree to be involved in the study, you will be invited to complete the survey on the following pages. This survey will ask questions about you and your views about cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty. The survey should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.

JCU academic pursues Olympic medals
Indonesia’s badminton and weight lifting teams are planning on a haul of medals at the Rio Olympics thanks to the expertise of James Cook University’s High Performance Sport Initiative.
Indonesia’s badminton and weight lifting teams are planning on a haul of medals at the Rio Olympics thanks to the expertise of James Cook University’s High Performance Sport Initiative.
Sport and Exercise Science Associate Professor Stephen Bird will leave the Cairns Campus on Sunday (July 24) for Jakarta to attend an official send off for the Indonesian Olympic team on July 27 before joining their final training camp in Brazil’s Sau Paulo for seven days.
“The team and I will arrive in Rio on August 7 and stay at the Olympic Village until the Closing Ceremony,” he said.
“I will be working with Indonesia’s medal prospect athletes from the badminton and weight lifting teams to ensure they arrive in Rio as healthy as possible in order to achieve their personal best at the Games.
“This will be my second Olympic Games after assisting the Indonesian team at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, which was their most successful Olympics with one Gold, one Silver and three Bronze medals.
“Indonesia was not as successful at the London Olympics in 2012 and so reached out again for sport science support to assist in fatigue monitoring and recovery management at the Rio Games.”
Associate Professor Bird had coached Indonesian athletes in several disciplines from 2007 to 2011 to develop the team’s strength and conditioning when he was previously with Charles Sturt University.
“I was directly responsible for implementation of the Indonesian High Performance Program in conjunction with the Indonesian Olympic Committee, National Sports Committee of Indonesia and the State Ministry of Youth and Sport Affairs of Indonesia,” he said.
Since joining JCU in July last year, Associate Professor Bird has worked with colleagues on the JCU High Performance Sport Initiative which specialises in all facets of athlete preparation including strength and conditioning, fatigue monitoring, recovery management and sports nutrition.
This initiative has resulted in a Memorandum of Understanding being signed with Papua New Guinea High Performance Sport this week.
JCU also has a Memorandum of Understanding with the Northern Pride High Performance Unit which involves a PhD student and an intern assisting the Cairns-based Queensland Rugby League Team with sports science and fatigue management.
JCU High Performance Sport Initiative interns will be working with Australian Baseball team the Emeralds in the lead to the World Cup in September and recently commenced with Cairns semi-professional soccer team FNQ FC Heat.
Netball Australia and Mountain Biking Australia use the JCU High Performance Sport Initiative which is also involved with a push to establish an FNQ Regional Academy of Sport to help talented youth athletes transition from pre-elite youth to elite youth and senior programs.
For more information contact Associate Professor Stephen Bird on 0403 213 461 or stephen.bird@jcu.edu.au

CHS Seminar: Self-reported long-term conditions of nurses and midwives: a survey across a northern Australian health service - 5 August
CHS Seminar: Self-reported long-term conditions of nurses and midwives: a survey across a northern Australian health service
Presenter: Associate Professor David Lindsay, Nursing, Midwifery & Nutrition
Date: Friday 5 August 2016
Time: 3:00-4:00pm AEST
Location: 145-030 (JCU Townsville); A002-201 (JCU Cairns); A1-01 (JCU Singapore)
Although nurses generally constitute the largest component of the health workforce, there is no systematic collection of data about their health status. Similarly, little is known about how nurses manage any long-term condition (LTCs) they may have, which could contribute to their reducing hours of employment or leaving the workforce completely. Such information will become more important against the backdrop of a global shortage of nurses, an ageing nursing workforce and an increase in chronic disease.
This presentation will provide an overview of a collaborative research study undertaken at the Townsville Hospital and Health Service, which explored the reported LTCs of nurses and midwives across the organization.
