Job Description

PhD Scholarship – Development of a digital intervention to support women undergoing medical abortion Drive your own learning at one of the world’s top 80 universities Take your career in exciting, rewarding directions About the project Medical abortion (using mifepristone and misoprostol to end a pregnancy) is a safe and effective method to end early pregnancies and a less invasive option than surgical abortion. This essential care can be provided by general practitioners either in person or via telehealth, which makes it a more accessible option for many women in Australia. With the increasing use of medical abortion and the option of delivering this care via telehealth, there is a need to support women through this process, particularly after the procedure. This support may include answering common questions regarding the procedure (e.g. what to expect during the procedure, what happens after the procedure, follow-up appointments, and self-care at home). Digital apps are increasingly being used by women for health support and may be a useful adjunct to the provision of medical abortion in primary care. This project will involve conducting a systematic review of current apps that support any stage of medical abortion. Qualitative interviews with women who have recently undergone a medical abortion will be conducted to identify common questions and concerns. The app will be co-designed with consumers, clinicians and stakeholders in medical abortion care delivery and piloted before wider dissemination. SPHERE and Monash University The successful candidate will be part of a multidisciplinary cohort of researchers and students based at the SPHERE NHMRC Centre of Research Excellence in Women’s Sexual and Reproductive Health in Primary Care. SPHERE’s focus is on improving access to and the quality of women’s sexual and reproductive health care services particularly in the areas of preconception care, contraception, medical abortion services and endometriosis and pelvic pain diagnosis and management in primary care. Monash University is a member of Australia’s Group of Eight coalition, and is internationally recognized for excellence in research and teaching as one of the world's top 80 universities. Embedded in an ecosystem of health, academia and industry, it delivers the research outcomes, skilled workforce, technology and partnerships to improve human health locally and globally. Application Requirements A cover letter describing your research interests and why you would like to undertake a PhD (maximum one page) A CV including qualifications, academic achievements, list of publications, work history and references Applications Close: Sunday 2 March 2025, 11:55pm AEDT Monash University recognises that its Australian campuses are located on the unceded lands of the people of the Kulin nations, and pays its respects to their elders, past and present. #J-18808-Ljbffr
