Results: Fifteen per cent (n = 184) of participants identified as having a mental health condition in the past 12 months. Across most (7 of 8) sleep parameters, the prevalence of suboptimal sleep was higher among people with a mental health condition, compared to those without (all p < 0.05). The highest prevalence of suboptimal sleep for both groups was seen on measures of sleep duration (36–39% and 17–20% for people with and without a mental health condition, respectively). In terms of sleep assessment and treatment, people with a mental health condition were significantly more likely to: desire treatment (37% versus 16%), have been assessed (38% versus 12%) and have received treatment (30% versus 7%). Conclusions: The prevalence of suboptimal sleep among persons with a mental health condition in Australia is significantly higher than those without such a condition, and rates of assessment and treatment are low for both groups, but higher for people with a mental health condition. Population health interventions, including those delivered as part of routine health care, addressing suboptimal sleep are needed.]]> Wed 13 Mar 2024 08:54:45 AEDT ]]> Evaluating the efficacy of an integrated smoking cessation intervention for mental health patients: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16787 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:10:03 AEST ]]> Smoking cessation care for people with a mental illness: family carer expectations of health and community services https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24637 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:32:37 AEST ]]> Smoking and environmental characteristics of smokers with a mental illness, and associations with quitting behaviour and motivation; a cross sectional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24210 10 cigarettes per day (74 %), and highly nicotine dependent (51 %). A third (32 %) lived in a house in which smoking was permitted, and 44 % lived with other smokers. The majority of participants believed that significant others (68–82 %) and health care providers (80–91 %) would be supportive of their quitting smoking. Reflecting previous research, the smoking characteristics examined were variously associated with quitting behaviour and motivation. Additionally, participants not living with other smokers were more likely to have quit for a longer duration (OR 2.02), and those perceiving their psychiatrist to be supportive of a quit attempt were more likely to have had more quit attempts in the past six months (OR 2.83). Conclusions: Modifiable characteristics of the physical and social environment, and of smoking, should be considered in smoking cessation interventions for persons with a mental illness.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:31:29 AEST ]]> Systematic review and meta-analysis of the provision of preventive care for modifiable chronic disease risk behaviours by mental health services https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36589 Wed 10 Jun 2020 14:02:44 AEST ]]> Use of Insomnia Treatments and Discussions About Sleep with Health Professionals Among Australian Adults with Mental Health Conditions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54629 Wed 06 Mar 2024 10:52:13 AEDT ]]> Uptake of smoking cessation aids by smokers with a mental illness https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24212 Wed 06 Apr 2022 14:01:04 AEST ]]> Associations between suboptimal sleep and smoking, poor nutrition, harmful alcohol consumption and inadequate physical activity (‘SNAP Risks’): a comparison of people with and without a mental health condition in an Australian community survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38146 Wed 04 Aug 2021 16:45:46 AEST ]]> Outpatient interventions for smoking cessation and reduction for adults with a mental disorder (protocol) https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36394 Tue 07 Apr 2020 15:53:48 AEST ]]> Patient receipt of smoking cessation care in four Australian acute psychiatric facilities https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34435 Tue 03 Sep 2019 18:17:13 AEST ]]> Sleep health of young adults in Western Australia and associations with physical and mental health: A population-level cross-sectional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50903 Thu 10 Aug 2023 13:24:25 AEST ]]> A randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial investigating the effects of an Ocimum tenuiflorum (Holy Basil) extract (HolixerTM) on stress, mood, and sleep in adults experiencing stress https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50738 Thu 03 Aug 2023 16:40:32 AEST ]]> The relationship between image degradation and myopia in the mammalian eye https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26967 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:26:59 AEDT ]]> Smoking and mental illness: a bibliometric analysis of research output over time https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25182 Mon 23 Sep 2019 12:21:33 AEST ]]> The International Framework for School Health Promotion: Supporting Young People Through and After the COVID-19 Pandemic https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53546 Mon 04 Dec 2023 16:01:28 AEDT ]]> Safety of exercise training in multiple sclerosis: An updated systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54950 Fri 22 Mar 2024 15:28:58 AEDT ]]> Prevalence of self-reported suboptimal sleep in Australia and receipt of sleep care: results from the 2017 National Social Survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41718 Fri 12 Aug 2022 09:08:19 AEST ]]> Efficacy of a universal smoking cessation intervention initiated in inpatient psychiatry and continued post-discharge: a randomised controlled trial https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31395 N = 754) were randomised to receive either usual care (n = 375) or an intervention comprising a brief mot ivational interview and self-help material while in hospital, followed by a 4-month pharmacological and psychosocial intervention (n = 379) upon discharge. Primary outcomes assessed at 6 and 12 months post-discharge were 7-day point prevalence and 1-month prolonged smoking abstinence. A number of secondary smoking-related outcomes were also assessed. Subgroup analyses were conducted based on psychiatric diagnosis, baseline readiness to quit and nicotine dependence. Results: Seven-day point prevalence abstinence was higher for intervention participants (15.8%) than controls (9.3%) at 6 months post-discharge (odds ratio = 1.07, p = 0.04), but not at 12 months (13.4% and 10.0%, respectively; odds ratio = 1.03, p = 0.25). Significant intervention effects were not found on measures of prolonged abstinence at either 6 or 12 months post-discharge. Differential intervention effects for the primary outcomes were not detected for any subgroups. At both 6 and 12 months post-discharge, intervention group participants were significantly more likely to smoke fewer cigarettes per day, have reduced cigarette consumption by 3/450% and to have made at least one quit attempt, relative to controls. Conclusions: Universal smoking cessation treatment initiated in inpatient psychiatry and continued post-discharge was efficacious in increasing 7-day point prevalence smoking cessation rates and related quitting behaviours at 6 months post-discharge, with sustained effects on quitting behaviour at 12 months. Further research is required to identify strategies for achieving longer term smoking cessation.]]> Fri 03 Dec 2021 10:34:17 AEDT ]]>
