A total of nine GPs were interviewed. The transcripts from the interviews were reviewed and analysed to identify emergent patterns and themes. Results: Overall, GPs were supportive of DAP. They considered that DAP resulted in significant changes in their knowledge, skills, and approach and improved the quality of diabetes care. Taking a more holistic approach to care, including assessing patients with diabetes for co-morbidities and risk factors that may impact on their future health was also noted. DAP was noted to increase the confidence levels of GPs, which enabled active involvement in the provision of diabetes care rather than referring patients for tertiary specialist care. However, some indicated the program could be time consuming and greater flexibility was needed. Conclusions: GPs reported DAP to benefit their knowledge, skills and approach for managing diabetes. Future research will need to investigate how to improve the intensity and flexibility of the program based on the workload of GPs to ensure long-term acceptability of the program.]]> Wed 24 Apr 2024 13:05:58 AEST ]]> Multiple health behaviors before and after a cancer diagnosis among women: a repeated cross-sectional analysis over 15 years https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41799 .05) in survivors pre-diagnosis, after adjusting for confounders; however, the compliance score increased during postdiagnosis, with the mean difference score being significantly higher in recent survivors (0-3 years post diagnosis; MD = 0.055, P < .01). Likewise, within cancer survivors, the mean compliance score significantly increased 0-3 years postdiagnosis (MD = 0.07, P < .05) compared to pre-diagnosis, but this significant improvement was not maintained over the longer term (MD = 0.037, P > .05). Conclusion: In this sample, survivors had higher MHB score than controls. A cancer diagnosis may provide a teachable moment for health behavior change in the period immediately following diagnosis, but this effect was not sustained during longer-term survivorship.]]> Wed 22 Feb 2023 15:02:13 AEDT ]]> Compliance with multiple health behaviour recommendations: a cross-sectional comparison between female cancer survivors and those with no cancer history https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35698 Wed 17 Nov 2021 16:28:24 AEDT ]]> The roles and capacities of social workers in the lives of older adults seeking healthcare and their caregivers in Ghana https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49478 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:14:11 AEDT ]]> Do factors across the World Health Organisation's International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health framework relate to caregiver availability for community-dwelling older adults in Ghana? https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47192 Wed 13 Mar 2024 19:10:29 AEDT ]]> The Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health: using focus groups to inform recruitment https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29915 Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:21:49 AEST ]]> Do women in major cities experience better health? A comparison of chronic conditions and their risk factors between women living in major cities and other cities in Indonesia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22534 15 years old participating in the fourth wave of the Indonesia Family Life Survey. Chronic condition risk factors – systolic and diastolic blood pressure (SBP and DBP), body mass index (BMI), and tobacco use – among women in four major cities in Indonesia (Jakarta, Surabaya, Medan, and Bandung) were compared against other cities. Fractional polynomial regression models were applied to examine the association between living in the major cities and SBP, DBP, BMI, and tobacco use. The models were also adjusted for age, education, employment status, migration status, ethnic groups, and religion. The patterns of SBP, DBP, and BMI were plotted and contrasted between groups of cities. Results: Chronic condition prevalence was higher for women in major cities than in contrasting cities (p<0.005). Living in major cities increased the risk of having higher SBP, DBP, BMI and being a current smoker. Chronic disease risk factors in major cities were evident from younger ages. Conclusions: Women residing in Indonesia’s major cities have a higher risk of developing chronic conditions, starting at younger ages. The findings highlight the challenges inherent in providing long-term healthcare with its associated cost within major Indonesian cities and the importance of chronic disease prevention programmes targeting women at an early age.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:43:11 AEST ]]> Loss to follow-up was used to estimate bias in a longitudinal study: a new approach https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/

disease risk factors among Indonesian urban population https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23387 15 years in urban Indonesia. We compared the prevalence, predicted socioeconomic factors, the gender inequalities, and the contributing factors to the inequalities. Women had a higher risk of obesity and hypercholesterolemia and raised blood pressure in later life (P <.001). In contrast, men had a higher risk of being a current smoker and raised blood pressure at younger age (P <.001). The gender inequalities in hypertension, obesity, and hypercholesterolemia can be accounted for by disparities in socioeconomic factors between men and women, particularly involvement in paid work. However, the inequalities were also accounted for by different effects of the socioeconomic factors in men and women. Gender is interlinked with socioeconomic and biological factors in determining health. This emphasizes the need of gender responsive policies to control and prevent chronic disease.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:57 AEDT ]]> Advances in gerontology research and education: perspectives from the Australian Association of Gerontology https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23503 Australasian Journal on Ageing, it is worth reflecting on the history of ageing research and education in Australia from the perspective of the Australian Association of Gerontology (AAG).

The proportion of non-drinkers and non-smokers slightly increased over the survivorship period. Whole-vegetable intake did not significantly change; however, the intake of non-starchy vegetables significantly increased from pre-diagnosis (LS mean = 89.1g/day) to post-diagnosis, 6 to ≤ 9 years (LS mean = 137.1g/day), and 9 to ≤ 12 years (LS mean = 120.8g/day). There were no significant changes in the total intake of fibre, carotenoids, calcium, fat, saturated fat, vitamin C, or vitamin E observed, except for increased total energy intake (p = 0.012). Conclusion: Before diagnosis, BCSs had similar adherence to health behaviours compared to cancer-free women. Initial positive changes to health behaviours were observed post BC diagnosis, except healthy body weight, but maintenance of such changes over the long-term was poor. BCSs may benefit from additional advice and support to make healthy lifestyle choices throughout survivorship.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 17:55:50 AEDT ]]> Contextualizing urban living as a determinant of women's health in Jakarta, Indonesia https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34279 Mon 25 Feb 2019 14:55:14 AEDT ]]> Diet quality indices used in australian and new zealand adults: a systematic review and critical appraisal https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39175 Mon 23 May 2022 14:54:30 AEST ]]> Using collaborative autoethnography to explore the teaching of qualitative research methods in medicine https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:53898 Mon 22 Jan 2024 15:03:33 AEDT ]]> Interpretative phenomenological analysis of the lived experiences of older adults regarding their functional activities in Ghana https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:40384 Mon 11 Jul 2022 11:00:43 AEST ]]> A meta-synthesis of care and support for older adults in Africa https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50065 Fri 30 Jun 2023 10:59:56 AEST ]]> Stroke survivor, caregiver and therapist experiences of home-based stroke rehabilitation: a thematic synthesis of qualitative studies https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51591 Fri 22 Sep 2023 13:48:17 AEST ]]> Adherence to multiple health behaviours in cancer survivors: a systematic review and meta-analysis https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36889 5 years) survivors (PE 25%; 95% CI, 14%, 36%).
