Managing tensions in professional statutory practice: Living and working in rural and remote communities.

在农村和偏远社区提供基本的卫生、教育和人类服务仍然是澳大利亚的一个关键问题。当专业人员负有强制性责任(在儿童保护、执法或精神健康事务方面)时，工人与他们生活的社区之间可能会产生紧张关系。这项研究将为不同的专业团体在履行职责时出现的复杂的医疗、法律和社会问题提供解决方案。它将增加关于他们在小社区中的作用和责任的性质的现有知识，以及关于改进专业实践和保留的知识，从而改善个人、家庭和社区的服务提供和成果。

Delivering essential health, education and human services in rural and remote communities remains a critical problem for Australia . When professionals have mandatory responsibilities (in child protection, law enforcement or mental health matters), tensions can arise between workers and the community in which they live. The study will offer solutions to the complex medical, legal and social issues that arise for different professional groups in the discharge of their duties. It will increase current knowledge about the nature of their roles and responsibilities in small communities, and about improving professional practice and retention, leading to improved service delivery and outcomes for individuals, families and communities.
