Data were analysed using team-based, framework analysis. Results: Our findings suggest significant shifts in dietetics education in the area of professionalism assessment. Professionalism assessment is embedded in formal curricula of dietetics programs and is occurring in university and placement settings. In particular, advances have been demonstrated in those programs assessing professionalism as part of the programmatic assessment. Progress has been enabled by philosophical and curricula shifts; clearer articulation and shared understandings of professionalism standards; enhanced learner agency and reduced power distance; early identification and intervention of professionalism lapses; and increased confidence and capabilities of educators. Conclusions: These findings suggest there have been considerable advances in professionalism assessment in recent years with shifts in practice in approaching professionalism through a more interpretivist lens, holistically and more student-centred. Professionalism assessment in dietetics education is a shared responsibility and requires further development and transformation to more fully embed and strengthen curricula approaches across programs. Further work should investigate strategies to build safer learning cultures and capacity for professionalism conversations and in strengthening approaches to remediation.]]> Thu 02 Nov 2023 13:01:49 AEDT ]]> Weight stabilisation is associated with improved survival duration and quality of life in unresectable pancreatic cancer https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:1481 1 kg lost) or weight stable (≤1 kg lost) after an 8 week nutrition intervention period. Group survival duration (Kaplan Meier) and QoL (EORTC QLQ-C30) were compared. Predictors of weight stability were determined using logistic regression analysis. Results: Patients with weight stabilisation survived longer from baseline (log rank test 5.53, P=0.019). They also reported higher QoL scores (P=0.037) and a greater mean energy intake (P<0.001) at Week 8 than those who continued to lose weight. The absence of nausea and vomiting (OR 6.5, P=0.010) and female gender (OR 5.2, P=0.020) were independent determinants of weight stabilisation. Conclusions: Weight stabilisation over an 8 week period in weight-losing patients with unresectable pancreatic cancer was associated with improved survival duration and QoL.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:28:12 AEDT ]]> Evaluation of assessment in the context of work-based learning: qualitative perspectives of new graduates https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25668 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:28:05 AEDT ]]> Conceptualizing Professionalism in Dietetics: An Australasian Qualitative Study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48235 Sat 11 Mar 2023 12:44:28 AEDT ]]>
