https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Index en-au 5 Use of medical services by older Australian women with dementia: a longitudinal cohort study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48706 30 minutes] IRR=1.11 [1.04, 1.19]) and fewer specialist attendances (IRR=0.91 [0.85, 0.97]) and were more likely to have an emergency GP attendance (OR=2.29 [2.05, 2.57]). There were no significant differences in the odds of having either a HA or CDM or using allied health services for women with and without dementia indicators. Conclusions: The overall use of services designed to improve the prevention and coordination of the care of older people with chronic conditions was low. Women with dementia were no more likely to access these services. Implications for public health: There is underuse of some primary and allied healthcare services designed for people with complex chronic conditions. These could be better used by women with dementia to improve the management of complex comorbidities (e.g. CDMs), to prevent the onset of disability (e.g. physiotherapy), and enhance needs assessment and service access (e.g. HAs).]]> Wed 29 Mar 2023 15:32:41 AEDT ]]> Prevalence and Type of Unmet Needs Experienced by People Living with Dementia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:43709 Wed 28 Sep 2022 10:15:57 AEST ]]> Where would acute care nurses prefer to receive end-of-life care? a cross-sectional survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46551 Wed 28 Jun 2023 15:39:48 AEST ]]> Optimal care of people with brain cancer in the emergency department: A cross-sectional survey of outpatient perceptions https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53332 Wed 28 Feb 2024 16:21:22 AEDT ]]> Cervical Cancer Screening Promotion in Eswatini: A Cross-Sectional Survey of Community Health Workers' Perceived Barriers https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51275 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:46:54 AEDT ]]> Depression and thoughts of self-harm and suicide among people living with dementia: results of a cross-sectional survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53917 Wed 28 Feb 2024 15:39:13 AEDT ]]> Are the physical environments of treatment centres meeting recommendations for patient-centred care?

The survey was conducted using an iPad with answers sent automatically to a secure server. The survey included items about the participants' most feared diseases and the reasons behind those fears, estimates of dementia prevalence in Japan, and preferences regarding a diagnosis of dementia and the reasons for their preference. Results: The most feared disease was cancer (43.8 %), followed by dementia (18 %). Those selecting dementia most commonly reported practical, emotional and social impacts as the reasons why they most feared this condition. Almost all participants preferred to know the diagnosis of dementia as soon as possible for themselves, with significantly fewer preferring their spouse to know as soon as possible if they had dementia (95.9 % for self vs. 67.5 % for partner/spouse, p < 0.001). On average, participants estimated that 18.1 % of Japanese people are diagnosed with dementia by age 65, while they thought that 43.7 % of Japanese people are diagnosed with dementia by age 85. Conclusions: The findings highlight a need for community education about the significant impacts of dementia on the lives of individuals and their caregivers. People were more reluctant for their spouse to receive a diagnosis as soon as possible if they had dementia. Physicians should sensitively disclose diagnosis and ensure they involve both the patient and their relatives in discussions about diagnosis disclosure.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 15:35:51 AEDT ]]> Second opinions in medical oncology https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:45056 Wed 26 Oct 2022 11:55:33 AEDT ]]> Prevalence and characteristics associated with concurrent smoking and alcohol misuse within Australian general practice patients https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36902 Wed 23 Feb 2022 16:03:35 AEDT ]]> Oncology nurse perceptions about life expectancy discussions: a cross-sectional study exploring what patients want to know, and why doctors don’t disclose https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51165 75%) want to be provided with an estimate of their life expectancy, 63% of nurses reported that <50% of patients were provided with an estimate. Further, 85% of nurses indicated that <50% of patients understand the estimate. The most frequent reason nurses perceived doctors did not provide an estimate of life expectancy was because the doctor didn’t have an accurate idea of life expectancy (80.8%). Almost one-fifth of nurses (18.3%) thought that doctors did not provide estimates because they felt it was not their responsibility to do so. Conclusions: Strategies to ensure a patient-centred approach to life expectancy discussions with patients with advanced cancer are urgently needed. Impact statement: Oncology nurses perceive that many patients with advanced cancer are not provided with an accurate estimate of their life expectancy and few understand the information provided to them.]]> Wed 23 Aug 2023 17:31:04 AEST ]]> 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 ]]> The impact of organisational factors on treatment outcomes for those seeking alcohol or other drug treatment: A systematic review https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50875 Wed 21 Aug 2024 10:23:34 AEST ]]> Junior Medical Officers’ knowledge of advance care directives and substitute decision making for people without decision making capacity: a cross sectional survey https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51820 Wed 20 Sep 2023 10:00:10 AEST ]]> Junior medical doctors’ decision making when using advance care directives to guide treatment for people with dementia: a cross-sectional vignette study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51821 Wed 20 Sep 2023 09:59:54 AEST ]]> Computer tablet or telephone?

Data were collected via an online survey from November 2017 to January 2018. Most respondents (97%) agreed with the importance of including people at all stages of dementia in research, yet around three-quarters of respondents perceived ethical and legal rules and processes as unduly restrictive or time-consuming. Researchers reported variable practices in assessing prospective participants' capacity to consent to their studies. Various tools are used for this purpose, ranging from tools designed for research (eg, MacArthur Competence Assessment Tool for Clinical Research) to more general cognitive function screens (eg, Mini Mental State Exam). Few respondents (14%) routinely exclude people from studies who are unable to give their own consent, but instead seek permission from proxy decision-makers, such as legally appointed guardians or family carers. Respondents reported positive and negative outcomes of ethics review processes. Positive outcomes included strengthening the protections for participants with cognitive impairment while negative outcomes included delays and inconsistent decisions from different ethics committees. The findings suggest a need for improved strategies in the research context to assess and enhance the decision-making capacity of people with dementia to support appropriate opportunities for inclusion. Education for ethics committees, proxy decision-makers and other gatekeepers is also needed to reduce barriers to participation in research.]]> Fri 22 Apr 2022 15:34:36 AEST ]]> Cancer patient preferences for the provision of information regarding emotional concerns in relation to medical procedures: a discrete choice experiment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38187 Fri 22 Apr 2022 13:52:10 AEST ]]> Cervical cancer screening knowledge and associated factors among Eswatini women: A cross-sectional study https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:56036 Fri 19 Jul 2024 15:04:25 AEST ]]> Planning ahead for dementia research participation: insights from a survey of older Australians and implications for ethics, law and practice https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36927 Fri 17 Jul 2020 08:58:42 AEST ]]> How can dementia diagnosis and care for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people be improved?
