abstract: 'IntroductionThis study explores the predictive power of macro-structural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
characteristics on quality rating and improvement system (QRIS) outcomes
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of Family Day Care (FDC) services in Australia. MethodsThe dataset
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
consisted of 441 FDC National Quality Standard (NQS) ratings from all
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Australian states and territories, with overall ratings of Exceeding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
NQS, Meeting NQS, Working Towards NQS, or Significant Improvement
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Required. ResultsMultinomial logistic regressions confirmed that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
management type, community socioeconomic status (SES), level of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
urbanization, and government jurisdiction explained 6.9 to 19.3\% of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variation in QRIS outcomes. Results indicated that lower FDC NQS ratings
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
were more likely for (1) private for-profit vs. not-for-profit; (2)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
low-SES vs. high-SES area; and (3) regional or remote area vs.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
metropolitan. State/territory jurisdiction also influenced NQS ratings.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
DiscussionThese findings imply the need for policy attention to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequalities in FDC quality associated with systemic and organizational
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
differences. Greater effort is needed to promote equality and equity in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
FDC services.'
