Results: About 100% of dietitians had received initial weight management training and 85% had participated in professional development training, compared with 18 and 19% of HPs, respectively, although 70% believed it was within their scope of practice to provide evidence-based advice. Dietitian respondents achieved a higher median score (maximum 10) in the following areas (practice = 6.5, knowledge = 8.0, confidence = 8.3) when compared with HP respondents (practice = 4.2, knowledge = 7.0, confidence = 5.4). The median attitude score for both groups was 6.0. Conclusions: HPs are receptive to providing evidence-based weight loss messages to overweight/obese clients in their current practice. However, weight management training is required to enhance HPs' knowledge and skills in order to increase confidence and improve practice skills. Dietitians can assist HPs to ensure that clear, consistent, evidence-based messages are delivered to overweight clients throughout the health-care system.]]> Wed 19 Apr 2023 13:50:55 AEST ]]> An exploratory study into the application of psychological theories and therapies in Australian mental health occupational therapy practice: challenges to occupation-based practice https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32699 Wed 11 Jul 2018 16:22:32 AEST ]]> The impact of chronic low back pain on leisure participation: implications for occupational therapy https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14725 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:41:02 AEST ]]> Maintaining occupation-based practice in Australian mental health practice: a critical stance https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21270 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:40:14 AEST ]]> Occupational therapy and physiotherapy in acute stroke: do rural patients receive less therapy? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25774 0.0014) and indirect (p = 0.001) occupational therapy when compared to those in the metropolitan hospital. Face-to-face sessions lasted longer (p = 0.001). Patients admitted to the metropolitan hospital received more face-to-face (p > 0.000) and indirect (p > 0.000) physiotherapy when compared to those admitted to rural hospitals. Face-to-face sessions were shorter (p > 0.000). Almost all were seen within 24 hours of referral. Conclusions: Acute stroke patients in Australian rural hospital may receive more occupational therapy and less physiotherapy than those in metropolitan hospitals. The dose of therapy was lower than recommended, and the referral process may unnecessarily delay the time from admission to a patient’s first therapy session.]]> Wed 09 Feb 2022 15:53:31 AEDT ]]> An
