Abstract: During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, the health care system experienced unprecedented demands with many health care workers being redeployed. Although there are emerging studies investigating redeployment to acute care, the experience of redeployment to roles outside of these settings, such as to contact tracing and monitoring (CTM) teams, has not been reported. This research was designed to explore health care workers' experience of redeployment to a regional COVID-19 CTM team. Staff redeployed to this CTM team completed an anonymous online survey following the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in Victoria, Australia. The survey used open-ended questions to explore participants' perceptions of what did and did not work well during their redeployment. Inductive template thematic analysis of the data found that during their redeployment to CTM teams, participants experienced a sense of collaboration, the opportunity for professional growth, and the perception of making a meaningful contribution to the pandemic. Redeployed CTM team members also described a need to adapt to constant change and felt that the redeployment took a personal toll on them. The findings from this research may be useful to support preparedness of health care workers for redeployment in future complex or crisis situations.

Abstract: Many occupational therapy students experience anxiety and distraction when entering a new setting at the beginning of a clinical placement. Orientation processes may provide students with the information they need to feel more comfortable in an unfamiliar clinical setting. The aim of this project was to evaluate a revised wayfinding video for first- and second-year occupational therapy students, with a particular focus on reducing anxiety. A revised version of a wayfinding video (with a duration of 3 minutes and 40 seconds) was created by final-year occupational therapy students and then evaluated using a paper-based descriptive survey. All data were analysed using a content analysis approach. A total of 71 responses were received, demonstrating a response rate of 47%. The students indicated that the video addressed the main sources of pre-placement anxiety and supported their pre-existing anxiety management strategies. Anxiety-reducing features of the video included an overview and visual introduction to the facility, hearing the positive experiences of other students, the provision of placement expectations and an introduction to the student coordinators. All but two of the students indicated that they would watch the video if it were attached to their welcome pack. Many occupational therapy students experience anxiety and distraction when entering a new setting CONCLUSIONS: The revised wayfinding video addressed many of the students' anxieties about commencing placement and now forms part of a broader suite of student orientation materials. There are several limitations to the development of wayfinding videos, but they are surmountable via collaboration and investment in careful planning.

Abstract: Informal interprofessional interactions have gained interest in recent interprofessional care, education, health services and social sciences research literature. Some of the established benefits associated with these interactions include enhanced communication, teamwork, research translation and the provision of safer care. Limited evidence about how informal interprofessional interactions are perceived by the allied health workforce, exists. The survey conducted at a large Australian health service explored allied health clinicians' perceptions of the benefits, challenges and enablers of informal interprofessional interactions and their recommendations to improve opportunities for these workplace interactions. Sixty-four responses were analysed descriptively (for close-ended questions) and using a framework analysis approach, informed by Bourdieu's
