Results: There were significant differences in the definitions used, the time frames of interest, and the populations surveyed. There was significant heterogeneity across studies. Overall prevalence of urinary incontinence for Australian adults was estimated to be 19.3% and 2.2% in Australian women and men, respectively. Overall prevalence of faecal incontinence was estimated to be 5.3% and 5.5% in Australian women and men, respectively. Conclusions: It is disappointing that with so many studies published in this area, there is still a lack of high quality, basic descriptive epidemiology of this important health problem. These estimates of the prevalences of urinary and faecal incontinence should assist policy making in this area.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:43:44 AEST ]]> What factors predict exposure to caste, political and religious violence in India? a cross-sectional survey of 1000 Indian men https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:15794 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:39:52 AEST ]]> "Just get on with it": qualitative insights of coming to terms with a deteriorating body for older women with ostearthritis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17394 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:57:09 AEST ]]> The urban-rural divide in complementary and alternative medicine use: a longitudinal study of 10,638 women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:15681 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:51:09 AEST ]]> A GP caregiver needs toolkit versus usual care in the management of the needs of caregivers of patients with advanced cancer: a randomized controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:9802 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:49:37 AEST ]]> The effectiveness of complementary manual therapies for pregnancy-related back and pelvic pain: a systematic review with meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:27875 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:34:23 AEST ]]> The Australian Recommended Food Score did not predict weight gain in middle-aged Australian women during six years of follow-up https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:14175 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:31:10 AEST ]]> Establishing the ACORN National Practitioner Database: strategies to recruit practitioners to a national practice-based research network https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28194 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:29:55 AEST ]]> Who uses glucosamine and why?

The adjusted R2 values for each of the regression models were relatively small (0.1590, 0.1394, 0.0932, 0.0802), indicating that the included predictors did not account for much of the variation in vegetable intake. Conclusion: These results provide some evidence that higher intakes of unprocessed red meat, chicken and fish are associated with higher intakes of vegetables. This supports the notion that many Australians who are serving up unprocessed red meat, chicken or fish for their meals are also consuming a number of vegetable serves.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:05:02 AEDT ]]> Complementary and alternative medicine consultations in urban and nonurban areas: a national survey of 1427 Australian women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:18217 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:55 AEDT ]]> Health service utilisation by pregnant women over a seven-year period https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:18161 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:04:38 AEDT ]]> Well-being outcomes of chiropractic intervention for lower back pain: a systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19907 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:03:48 AEDT ]]> Predictors of complementary and alternative Medicine (CAM) use in two cohorts of Australian women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17402 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:28 AEDT ]]> Bodies of knowledge: nature, holism and women's plural health practices https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17253 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:01:26 AEDT ]]> The influence of tai chi and yoga on balance and falls in a residential care setting: a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:19835 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:57:05 AEDT ]]> The prevalence and characteristics of young and mid-age women who use yoga and meditation: results of a nationally representative survey of 19,209 Australian women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17970 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:42 AEDT ]]> Distribution of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) providers in rural New South Wales, Australia: a step towards explaining high CAM use in rural health? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17955 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:28 AEDT ]]> Mid-age women's consultations with acupuncturists: a longitudinal analysis of 11,200 Women, 2001-2007 https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:17924 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:56:24 AEDT ]]> Naturopathy/herbalism consultations by mid-aged Australian women who have cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:55 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:42:00 AEDT ]]> Healthcare utilisation of pregnant women who experience sciatica, leg cramps and/or varicose veins: a cross-sectional survey of 1835 pregnant women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28473 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:39:34 AEDT ]]> Implications of a needs assessment intervention for people with progressive cancer: impact on clinical assessment, response and service utilisation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28169 Palliative Care Needs Assessment Guidelines and Needs Assessment Tool: Progressive Disease-Cancer (NAT: PD-C) on clinical assessment, response and service utilisation. Study setting: Three major oncology treatment centres in NSW, Australia. Study design: Between March 2007 and December 2009, 219 people with advanced cancer were recruited to complete bi-monthly telephone interviews. The intervention, introduced after at least two baseline interviews, involved training health professionals to complete the NAT: PD-C with patients approximately monthly. Data collection: Rates of service use and referrals were compared pre- and post-introduction of the NAT: PD-C. Rates of completion of the tool; its impact on consultation length; and the types of needs and follow-up care to address these were also assessed. Principal findings: The NAT: PD-C had a high rate of completion; identified needs consistent with those self-reported by patients in interviews; and did not alter consultation length. No changes in the number of health professionals seen by patients were found pre- and post-intervention. Conclusion: The NAT: PD-C is an efficient and acceptable strategy for supporting needs-based cancer care that can potentially be incorporated into standard routine care without increasing the burden on care providers.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:35 AEDT ]]> A critical review of complementary and alternative medicine use by women with cyclic perimenstrual pain and discomfort: a focus upon prevalence, patterns and applications of use and users' motivations, information seeking and self-perceived efficacy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28177 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:33 AEDT ]]> Health-care utilisation amongst pregnant women who experience sleeping problems and/or tiredness or fatigue: secondary analysis of a cross-sectional survey of 1835 pregnant women https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:29156 n = 96) or a general practitioner (GP) (n = 74) for their tiredness or fatigue rather than a midwife (n = 56).

Subjects/methods: A total of 4083 young women (27–31 years) in the healthy weight range (≥18.5 BMI <25 kg/m²) enroled in the Australian Longitudinal study on Women’s Health (ALSWH) were analysed. Diet quality was measured by the Australian Recommended Food Score (ARFS) and the Fruit and Vegetable Index (FAVI) using dietary data derived from a validated food frequency questionnaire. Weight change was calculated as the difference between baseline and 6-year follow-up weight (kg). Multiple linear regression models were used to analyse the association between baseline ARFS and FAVI and 6-year weight change. Results: At baseline, mean diet quality was low for both indices [ARFS (maximum 72) = 29.9 and FAVI (maximum 333) = 94.2] and women gained 3.7 kg of weight during 6 years of follow-up. Regression modelling revealed that every one point increase over 6 years in either the ARFS or FAVI score was associated with statistically significantly less weight gain over 6 years, although the amount was small (33 and 12 g, respectively). Conclusions: Higher diet quality predicts lower prospective weight gain in young women however, further research is needed over a longer follow-up period and in diverse population groups.]]> Fri 15 Jul 2022 10:18:19 AEST ]]> Improving outcomes for people with progressive cancer: interrupted time series trial of a needs assessment intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:28170 health system and information and patient care and support needs.
