A full effectiveness trial is now needed. Aims: To determine the effectiveness and cost effectiveness of Rugby Fans In Training-NZ (RUFIT-NZ) on weight loss, fitness, blood pressure, lifestyle change, and health related quality of life (HRQoL) at 12- and 52-weeks. Methods: We conducted a pragmatic, two-arm, multi-center, randomized controlled trial in NZ with 378 (target 308) overweight and obese men aged 30-65 years, randomized to an intervention group or wait-list control group. The 12-week RUFIT-NZ program was a gender-sensitised, healthy lifestyle intervention delivered through professional rugby clubs. Each intervention session included: i) a 1-h workshop-based education component focused on nutrition, physical activity, sleep, sedentary behavior, and learning evidence-based behavior change strategies for sustaining a healthier lifestyle; and 2) a 1-h group-based, but individually tailored, exercise training session. The control group were offered RUFIT-NZ after 52-weeks. The primary outcome was change in body weight from baseline to 52-weeks. Secondary outcomes included change in body weight at 12-weeks, waist circumference, blood pressure, fitness (cardiorespiratory and musculoskeletal), lifestyle behaviors (leisure-time physical activity, sleep, smoking status, and alcohol and dietary quality), and health-related quality of life at 12- and 52-weeks. Results: Our final analysis included 200 participants (intervention n = 103; control n = 97) who were able to complete the RUFIT-NZ intervention prior to COVID-19 restrictions. At 52-weeks, the adjusted mean group difference in weight change (primary outcome) was -2.77 kg (95% CI -4.92 to -0.61), which favored the intervention group. The intervention also resulted in favorable significant differences in weight change and fruit and vegetable consumption at 12-weeks; and waist circumference, fitness outcomes, physical activity levels, and health-related quality of life at both 12 and 52 weeks. No significant intervention effects were observed for blood pressure, or sleep. Incremental cost-effective ratios estimated were $259 per kg lost, or $40,269 per quality adjusted life year (QALY) gained. Conclusion: RUFIT-NZ resulted in sustained positive changes in weight, waist circumference, physical fitness, self-reported physical activity, selected dietary outcomes, and health-related quality of life in overweight/obese men. As such, the program should be recommended for sustained delivery beyond this trial, involving other rugby clubs across NZ.]]> Wed 28 Feb 2024 16:35:22 AEDT ]]> Airway inflammatory changes in the lungs of patients with asthma-COPD overlap (ACO): a bronchoscopy endobronchial biopsy study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52688 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:49:25 AEDT ]]> Dominantly inherited micro-satellite instable cancer - the four Lynch syndromes - an EHTG, PLSD position statement. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53958 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:39:44 AEDT ]]> It is not all about the alpha: elevated expression of p53β variants is associated with lower probability of survival in a retrospective melanoma cohort https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53356 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:24:08 AEDT ]]> Continuing medical education in China: evidence from primary health workers’ preferences for continuing traditional Chinese medicine education https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54554 Wed 28 Feb 2024 09:10:14 AEDT ]]> Increasing chronic disease preventive care in community mental health services: clinician-generated strategies. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54980 Wed 27 Mar 2024 15:13:43 AEDT ]]> Optimising diagnosis and post-diagnostic support for people living with dementia: geriatricians’ views https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51144 Wed 23 Aug 2023 12:29:49 AEST ]]> Barriers and facilitators influencing the sustainment of health behaviour interventions in schools and childcare services: a systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43043 Wed 22 Mar 2023 17:19:04 AEDT ]]> Combining structured and unstructured data in EMRs to create clinically-defined EMR-derived cohorts https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43182 Wed 14 Sep 2022 09:15:27 AEST ]]> Eating disorder outcomes: findings from a rapid review of over a decade of research https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51676 Wed 13 Sep 2023 15:22:04 AEST ]]> Ezidi voices: the communication of COVID-19 information amongst a refugee community in rural Australia- a qualitative study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48294 Wed 13 Mar 2024 07:50:32 AEDT ]]> A health impact assessment of gender inequities associated with psychological distress during COVID19 in Australia’s most locked down state—Victoria https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50310 Wed 13 Mar 2024 07:46:46 AEDT ]]> Nurse-led normalised advance care planning service in hospital and community health settings: a qualitative study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53704 Wed 10 Jan 2024 11:04:09 AEDT ]]> School-level factors associated with the sustainment of weekly physical activity scheduled in Australian elementary schools: an observational study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51140 Wed 07 Feb 2024 14:53:37 AEDT ]]> What care do people with dementia receive at the end of life?

A more favourable ASI score was associated with improved symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, QOL-mental and of energy and fatigue (all p < 0.05). The intervention effects on symptoms of depression ([AB; 95%CI] -0.31; - 0.60,-0.11), anxiety (- 0.11; - 0.27,-0.01), stress (- 0.37; - 0.65,-0.174), QOL-mental (0.53; 0.22, 1.01) and ratings of energy and fatigue (0.85; 0.33, 1.63) were mediated by ASI. At 6 months the magnitude of association was larger although the overall pattern of results remained similar. Conclusions: Improvements in the overall physical activity and sleep behaviours of adults partially mediated the intervention effects on mental health and quality of life outcomes. This highlights the potential benefit of improving the overall pattern of physical activity and sleep on these outcomes.

An international cross-sectional survey among WSES members https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53232 WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey, a strong negative impact on emergency surgery (ES) had been described already early in the pandemic situation. However, the knowledge is limited about current effects of the pandemic on patient flow through emergency rooms, daily routine and decision making in ES as well as their changes over time during the last two pandemic years. This second WSES COVID-19 emergency surgery survey investigates the impact of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic on ES during the course of the pandemic. Methods: A web survey had been distributed to medical specialists in ES during a four-week period from January 2022, investigating the impact of the pandemic on patients and septic diseases both requiring ES, structural problems due to the pandemic and time-to-intervention in ES routine. Results: 367 collaborators from 59 countries responded to the survey. The majority indicated that the pandemic still significantly impacts on treatment and outcome of surgical emergency patients (83.1% and 78.5%, respectively). As reasons, the collaborators reported decreased case load in ES (44.7%), but patients presenting with more prolonged and severe diseases, especially concerning perforated appendicitis (62.1%) and diverticulitis (57.5%). Otherwise, approximately 50% of the participants still observe a delay in time-to-intervention in ES compared with the situation before the pandemic. Relevant causes leading to enlarged time-to-intervention in ES during the pandemic are persistent problems with in-hospital logistics, lacks in medical staff as well as operating room and intensive care capacities during the pandemic. This leads not only to the need for triage or transferring of ES patients to other hospitals, reported by 64.0% and 48.8% of the collaborators, respectively, but also to paradigm shifts in treatment modalities to non-operative approaches reported by 67.3% of the participants, especially in uncomplicated appendicitis, cholecystitis and multiple-recurrent diverticulitis. Conclusions: The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic still significantly impacts on care and outcome of patients in ES. Well-known problems with in-hospital logistics are not sufficiently resolved by now; however, medical staff shortages and reduced capacities have been dramatically aggravated over last two pandemic years.]]> Tue 28 Nov 2023 10:23:18 AEDT ]]> PHB2 promotes SHIP2 ubiquitination via the E3 ligase NEDD4 to regulate AKT signaling in gastric cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54544 Tue 27 Feb 2024 20:39:49 AEDT ]]> Risk factors for eating disorders: findings from a rapid review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52730 Tue 24 Oct 2023 10:39:46 AEDT ]]> Exploring the design and utility of an integrated web-based chatbot for young adults to support healthy eating: a qualitative study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53963 Tue 23 Jan 2024 12:39:20 AEDT ]]> Enhanced perioperative care in emergency general surgery: the WSES position paper https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53960 Tue 23 Jan 2024 12:38:46 AEDT ]]> Phospho-heavy-labeled-spiketide FAIMS stepped-CV DDA (pHASED) provides real-time phosphoproteomics data to aid in cancer drug selection https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51137 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:58:50 AEST ]]> Impact of the ‘Healthy Youngsters, Healthy Dads’ program on physical activity and other health behaviours: a randomised controlled trial involving fathers and their preschool-aged children https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51139 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:58:19 AEST ]]> Dissemination of public health research to prevent non-communicable diseases: a scoping review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51129 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:52:11 AEST ]]> Optimising a multi-strategy implementation intervention to improve the delivery of a school physical activity policy at scale: findings from a randomised noninferiority trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51130 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:51:44 AEST ]]> Economic evaluation of a multi-strategy intervention that improves school-based physical activity policy implementation https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51124 Tue 22 Aug 2023 15:50:44 AEST ]]> Network evaluation of an innovation platform in continuous quality improvement in Australian Indigenous primary healthcare https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53308 Tue 21 Nov 2023 12:03:58 AEDT ]]> Modifier genes and Lynch syndrome: some considerations https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53291 Tue 21 Nov 2023 11:48:09 AEDT ]]> Towards translational research participation for nurses and midwives: a mixed method study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48540 n = 8156) working in metropolitan, rural, and remote health services across the District. The survey measured research activity, skills, intention, value and relevance, organisational support, capability and culture, and research translation. Phase two, the explanatory phase, involved six focus groups with senior nursing and midwifery clinicians, educators, and unit managers, with discussion centred on the results of Phase one. Results: A total of 721 (88%) nurses and 95 (12%) midwives completed the online survey, 33 senior nurses and midwives attended focus groups. The nature and extent of research participation is variable across sites, individuals and clinical specialties. In many cases, interest and involvement in research is not sustained. Participants identified the need for greater incentives and structural support. Most important was the need for research to have tangible meaning for patients and clinical practice. Conclusion / implications for practice: Our findings suggest that translational research offers nurses and midwives the opportunity to engage in research in a way that is meaningful to their practice and their aspirations. Greater emphasis is needed on the development and enactment of context specific nursing and midwifery research agendas and implementation research skills.]]> Tue 21 Mar 2023 15:40:54 AEDT ]]> Validation of an MRI-only planning workflow for definitive pelvic radiotherapy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48126  99% for criteria of 3%/2 mm and 2%/2 mm. With dose criteria of 1%/1 mm, the pass rate was higher for the male cohort at 96.3% than the female cohort at 93.4%. MRI to sCT anatomical agreement for bone and body delineated contours was assessed, with a resulting Dice score of 0.91 ± 0.2 (mean ± 1 SD) and 0.97 ± 0.0 for the male cohort respectively; and 0.96 ± 0.0 and 0.98 ± 0.0 for the female cohort respectively. The mean absolute error in Hounsfield units (HUs) within the entire body for the male and female cohorts was 59.1 HU ± 7.2 HU and 53.3 HU ± 8.9 HU respectively. Conclusions: A multi-atlas based method for sCT generation can be applied to a standard T1-weighted MRI sequence for male and female pelvic patients. The implications of this study support MRI only planning being applied more broadly for both male and female pelvic sites.]]> Tue 21 Mar 2023 15:07:30 AEDT ]]> High-cost users: drivers of inpatient healthcare expenditure concentration in urban China https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54314 Tue 20 Feb 2024 14:35:00 AEDT ]]> Impact of methodological choices in comparative effectiveness studies: application in natalizumab versus fingolimod comparison among patients with multiple sclerosis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:51798 Tue 19 Sep 2023 08:56:47 AEST ]]> The impact of pandemic disruptions on clinical skills learning for pre-clinical medical students: implications for future educational designs https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52571 Tue 17 Oct 2023 15:40:39 AEDT ]]> The supportive care needs survey short form 34 (SCNS-SF34): translation and cultural adaptation into the Nepali language among patients with cervical cancer in Nepal https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:52544  0.78 and scale content validity (S-CVI) was − 0.89, 0.91 and 0.90 respectively in semantic, cultural, and conceptual aspects. The study found a content validity ratio (CVR) of 0.9 to 1, Cronbach’s α of 0.90, correlation significant at the 0.01 level (2-tailed), and clarity of the questionnaire at 91.29%. The standard error of measurement (SEM) and small detectable changes (SDC) for overall care need scores were measured 2.70 and 7.47 respectively. All items were accepted as per the original SCNS-SF34. Following the respondents’ suggestions, simpler Nepali words were chosen in some items to replace the words in the preliminary Nepali version of SCNS-SF34. Conclusion: Preliminary findings show that the Nepali translation of SCNS-SF34 is practical and applicable to the Nepali population. Financial supportive care needs, supportive care for caretakers and problems during patient hospital stays are essential to include in the questionnaire to further explore supportive care needs.]]> Tue 17 Oct 2023 14:44:51 AEDT ]]> Examining Australian public perceptions and behaviors towards a future COVID-19 vaccine https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:49324 Tue 14 Nov 2023 14:39:20 AEDT ]]> The qualitative experience of telehealth access and clinical encounters in Australian healthcare during COVID-19: implications for policy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48283 Tue 14 Mar 2023 11:26:15 AEDT ]]> Video-telehealth to support clinical assessment and management of acutely unwell older people in residential aged care: a pre-post intervention study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48285 Tue 14 Mar 2023 10:57:37 AEDT ]]> Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Peoples' perceptions of foot and lower limb health: a systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43135 Tue 13 Sep 2022 15:21:30 AEST ]]> Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic: an overview of systematic reviews https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:37944 Tue 11 Oct 2022 17:29:23 AEDT ]]> Online training in evidence-based medicine and research methods for GP registrars: a mixed-methods evaluation of engagement and impact https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:44315 Tue 11 Oct 2022 16:19:44 AEDT ]]> Minimally invasive surgery in emergency surgery: a WSES survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53010  15 years and 69.4% of responders worked in tertiary level center or academic hospital. In primary emergencies, only 28,7% of participants declared the use of laparoscopy in more than 50% of times. Personal confidence with minimally invasive techniques was the highest for appendectomy and cholecystectomy. At multivariate ordinal regression, a longer professional experience, the use of laparoscopy in major elective surgery and bariatric surgery expertise were related to a higher use of laparoscopy in emergency surgery. Conclusions: The survey shows that minimally invasive techniques in emergency surgery are still underutilized.

Additionally, CooC11 was significantly correlated with an adult cooking measure and had a significant responsiveness to change (P< 0.01). Conclusions: The CooC11 and CooC7 are the first validated age-appropriate measures for assessing children’s perceived Cooking Competence for ages 8–12 and 6–7 years respectively. They can be used to evaluate the efficacy of children’s cooking intervention studies or school nutrition education programmes.]]> Mon 19 Sep 2022 08:39:07 AEST ]]> Cross Cultural Workers for women and families from migrant and refugee backgrounds: a mixed-methods study of service providers perceptions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:41870 Mon 15 Aug 2022 16:00:26 AEST ]]> A glimpse into the future: modelling global prevalence of hypertension https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53038 Mon 13 Nov 2023 09:02:15 AEDT ]]> Development, acceptability and uptake of an on-line communication skills education program targeting challenging conversations for oncology health professionals related to identifying and responding to anxiety and depression https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:47963 Mon 13 Feb 2023 15:30:55 AEDT ]]> A systematic review of patient-reported outcome measures in paediatric endocrinology https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:43028 Mon 12 Sep 2022 11:14:32 AEST ]]> Predicting attrition of men with a history of violence from randomised clinical trials https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54189 Mon 12 Feb 2024 14:08:06 AEDT ]]> Job satisfaction and regulation in the aged care sector: staff perspectives https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54175 Mon 12 Feb 2024 09:35:09 AEDT ]]> Trans-ancestral genome-wide association study of longitudinal pubertal height growth and shared heritability with adult health outcomes. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54727 Mon 11 Mar 2024 14:11:41 AEDT ]]> The associations between physical activity, sedentary behaviour, and sleep with mortality and incident cardiovascular disease, cancer, diabetes and mental health in adults: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54721 Mon 11 Mar 2024 11:58:49 AEDT ]]> Quality of life and mood disorders of mild to moderate stroke survivors in the early post-hospital discharge phase: a cross-sectional survey study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:50230 Mon 10 Jul 2023 14:00:54 AEST ]]> WSES guidelines on blunt and penetrating bowel injury: diagnosis, investigations, and treatment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48214 Mon 08 May 2023 15:01:32 AEST ]]> 2023 WSES guidelines for the prevention, detection, and management of iatrogenic urinary tract injuries (IUTIs) during emergency digestive surgery https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53008 Mon 06 Nov 2023 11:06:42 AEDT ]]> The psychometric properties of the grazing questionnaire in an obesity sample with and without binge eating disorder https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:53007 Mon 06 Nov 2023 08:50:25 AEDT ]]> Differential expressions of FASN, SCD, and FABP4 genes in the ribeye muscle of omega-3 oil-supplemented Tattykeel Australian White lambs https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:54104 Mon 05 Feb 2024 09:35:08 AEDT ]]> A qualitative study of evidence-based therapeutic process in mental health services in Ghana– context-mechanisms-outcomes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45474 Fri 28 Oct 2022 14:37:19 AEDT ]]> Administration of indwelling urinary catheters in four Australian Hospitals: cost-effectiveness analysis of a multifaceted nurse-led intervention https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45473 n = 1630), 4-months (n = 1677), and 9-months post-intervention (n = 1551). Intervention costs were based on trial records while labour costs were gathered from wage awards. Incremental cost effectiveness ratios were calculated for 4- and 9-months post-intervention and tested with non-parametric bootstrapping. Sensitivity scenarios recalculated results after adjusting costs and parameters. Results: The trial found reductions in catheterisations across the four hospitals between preintervention (12.0 % (10.4 − 13.5 %), n = 195) and the 4- (9.9 % (8.5 − 11.3 %), n = 166 ) and 9- months (10.2 % (8.7 − 11.7 %) n = 158) post-intervention points. The trend was statistically non-significant (p = 0.1). Only one diagnosed CAUTI case was observed across the surveys. However, statistically and clinically significant decreases in catheterisation rates occurred for medical and critical care wards, and among female patients and short-term catheterisations. Incremental cost effectiveness ratios at 4-months and 9-months post-intervention were $188 and $264. Bootstrapping found reductions in catheterisations at positive costs over at least 72 % of iterations. Sensitivity scenarios showed that cost effectiveness was most responsive to changes in catheterisation rates. Conclusions: Analysis showed that the association between the intervention and changes in catheterisation rates was not statistically significant. However, the intervention resulted in statistically significant reductions for subgroups including among short-term catheterisations and female patients. Cost-effectiveness analysis showed that reductions in catheterisations were most likely achieved at positive cost.]]> Fri 28 Oct 2022 14:36:39 AEDT ]]> A real-world feasibility study of the PLAYshop: a brief intervention to facilitate parent engagement in developing their child’s physical literacy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45411 Fri 28 Oct 2022 12:07:36 AEDT ]]> Feasibility and preliminary efficacy of a school-based health and well-being program for adolescent girls https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:45417 Fri 28 Oct 2022 10:17:20 AEDT ]]> Barriers and facilitators to the use of e-health by older adults: a scoping review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:48636 Fri 24 Mar 2023 13:16:39 AEDT ]]> Optimum maternal healthcare service utilization and infant mortality in Ethiopia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/manager/Repository/uon:38515 p-value = 0.007). Furthermore, infant mortality was reduced by approximately 46% among mothers who had low utilization of maternal healthcare services compared to mothers who had not utilized any maternal healthcare services (AOR = 0.54; 95%CI: 0.31–0.97; p-value = 0.040). Conclusions: From this study, we concluded that optimum utilization of maternal healthcare services during pregnancy, at delivery and after delivery might reduce the rate of infant mortality in Ethiopia.]]> Fri 23 Jun 2023 11:19:28 AEST ]]> How can dementia diagnosis and care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people be improved?
