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 ]]> Correlates of psychological distress among workers in the mining industry in remote Australia: evidence from a multi-site cross-sectional survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35239 Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:31:11 AEDT ]]> Occupational therapy domestic needs assessment: lawyer perspectives https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48358 Wed 15 Mar 2023 11:41:45 AEDT ]]> 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 ]]> Insights into workplace return to work coordinator training: an Australian perspective https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:27783 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:24:25 AEST ]]> Student experience of oral communication assessment tasks online from a multi-disciplinary trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24055 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:18:16 AEST ]]> Factors that influence the professional resilience of occupational therapists in mental health practice https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14734 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:55:32 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 ]]> The role of the Australian workplace return to work coordinator: essential qualities and attributes https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24181 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:03:37 AEST ]]> Help-seeking for mental health problems by employees in the Australian Mining Industry https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24530 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:59:05 AEST ]]> Occupational therapy and obesity: an integrative literature review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16002 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:09:53 AEST ]]> Help-seeking for mental health problems by employees in the Australian mining industry https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29627 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:29:36 AEST ]]> Shifting gears: an inpatient medical record audit and post-discharge survey of return-to-driving following stroke/transient ischaemic attack https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30944 Wed 09 Mar 2022 16:02:57 AEDT ]]> Nurse provision of healthy lifestyle advice to people who are overweight or obese https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26846 Wed 08 Jan 2020 11:29:45 AEDT ]]> Musculoskeletal discomfort and use of computers in the university environment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33375 Wed 04 Mar 2020 09:06:29 AEDT ]]> The "Double Whammy": Women's Experiences of Weight Gain After Diagnosis and Treatment for Schizophrenia Spectrum Disorders. https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41435 Wed 03 Aug 2022 14:26:31 AEST ]]> An exploratory study of the injured worker's experience and relationship with the workplace return to work coordinator in NSW, Australia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35654 Wed 02 Oct 2019 11:07:06 AEST ]]> Weight management advice for clients with overweight or obesity: allied health professional survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25741 Wed 02 Oct 2019 10:21:26 AEST ]]> Does help seeking behavior change over time following a workplace mental health intervention in the coal mining industry? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42493 P < 0.05).

RESULTS: Compared to the desktop (sitting), tablet and laptop use resulted in increased neck flexion (mean difference tablet - 14.42°, 95% CI - 19.88, -8.96, P < 0.001; laptop -7.19°, -12.08, -2.31, P = .020); upper trunk flexion (tablet -14.89°, -20.22, -9.56, P < 0.001; laptop -5.56°, -10.02, -1.09, P = .009) and tablet bilateral shoulder elevation (left 11.01 mm, 2.01, 20.04, P < .016; right 13.08 mm, 3.09, 23.11, P < .006). Conclusions: Tablet and laptop use resulted in greater neck flexion, bilateral shoulder elevation and upper trunk flexion compared to a standard desktop computer, suggesting individuals with chronic neck pain should be mindful of their posture when using these smaller devices.

Differences between groups were evaluated using generalised linear mixed models. Results: Across all conditions and compared to controls, cases had significantly less flexion between their head-neck and upper trunk segments (between group mean difference 7.15°, 2.1, 12.2, p = .006), greater upper trunk flexion relative to the laboratory (−6.15°, −10.9, −1.3, p = .012), greater shoulder flexion bilaterally (left 12.35°, 6.7, 17.9, p < .001; right 13.49°, 7.9, 19.1, p < .001) and less right elbow flexion (−6.87°, −12.1, −1.7, p = .010). Approaching significance, the case group had less left elbow flexion (between group mean difference −5.36°, −10.9, 0.1, p = .056) and a smaller mean craniocervical angle for the seated desktop condition (group x condition interaction −6.37°; 95% CI −12.7, −0.1, p = .052). Significance: Individuals with neck pain consistently used different upper body postures compared to individuals without pain when working on computerised devices under varying workstation conditions. This finding suggests that people with neck pain work in potentially aggravating postures that may be associated with their pain.]]> Fri 15 Sep 2023 18:22:54 AEST ]]> Occupational therapy medicolegal assessment of domestic assistance requirements: focus group perspectives https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41739 Fri 12 Aug 2022 13:21:27 AEST ]]>
