Professor Hutton has extensive experience in education and research. Her work revolves around young people, health promotion and harm reduction. Professor Hutton has established credible research into strategies to provide safe and supportive environments for young people during youth events which is important to promote community safety. Youth events including outdoor music festivals, and Schoolies comprise a significant proportion of all mass gatherings in Australia each year. Her research has shown that a combination of strategies such as dry zones, on-site first aid, supportive volunteer presence, free water and pastoral care can support young people to party safely and reduce hospitalisations.Professor Hutton is recognised as a world leader in mass gathering health and research. She is the current chair of the Mass Gathering section of the World Association for Disaster Emergency Medicine (WADEM) and also the Vice President Special Interests and Activities. She is a member of the World Health Organisation (WHO) Mass Gathering Collaborating centre for High Visibility/High Risk Events and is a member of the VIAG – the WHOs, virtual inter-disciplinary advisory group, which is invitation only to mass gathering experts around the globe.One of Professor Hutton’s many strengths is her collaboration with many community groups to develop and implement her work. In the paediatric space she is the President of the Association for the wellbeing of children in health care based in Sydney, an NGO which advocates for the rights of children and their family. Professor Hutton believes that nurses are in a great position to make a positive difference in the lives of young people and the wider community. Â

She is a highly motivated woman interested in a teaching process, research and social activities focusing in women and personal empowerment. Conducting research in the area of Mental health, disaster responses, and educational aspects also become my passion.

Due to its location in the ‘Pacific Ring of Fireâ€, Indonesia is frequently prone to natural disasters. Therefore, Indonesian nurses need to have the ability to assist in disaster situations as they are considered an important element of the workforce in disaster preparedness and response. However, the current nursing curricula in Indonesia does not adequately prepare nurses to respond in these situations. The primary aim of this study is to understand the experiences of Master of Nursing students’ roles and experiences in disaster settings in a nursing school in East Java, Indonesia. A single-case study design has been used. Data colection occurred via semi-structured interviews. The participants were enrolled in the Master of Nursing in a School of Nursing at a University in East Java. The data for the study were thematically analysed. Four main themes were identified: ‘personal feelings’, ‘working outside their scope of practice’, ‘lack of disaster preparedness’, and ‘a lack of mental health knowledge and care’. This study found that the Master of Nursing students in a nursing school in East Java, Indonesia were not adequately prepared for responding to disaster situations. This study found that a lack of disaster preparedness, working outside scope of practice, and a lack of mental health knowledge were the prominent issues for these Master of Nursing students. As well as commencing disaster training earlier in their education, providing training in the psychological context of disaster preparedness is recommended.
