Associations between current promotion of health behaviours and carer perceptions were explored through multivariate regression analysis in 2016. A majority of respondents promoted fruit and vegetable consumption (63.8%), physical activity (60.3%), quitting smoking (56.3%), and reducing alcohol consumption (56.2%) to the person they cared for. A perception that it was ‘very important’ to have a positive influence on these behaviours was positively related with promotion of each of the four behaviours, with those holding such a view being more likely to promote such behaviours, than those who did not (odds ratio: 9.47–24.13, p < 0.001). The majority (56.2%–63.8%) of carers reported promoting the health behaviours of those they cared for, demonstrating a need and opportunity to build the capacity of carers to contribute to reducing the health risk behaviours among people with a mental illness.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:25:44 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:29506 n = 19; 70%). Twenty-three studies targeted adults (17 showed significant health improvements) and four studies targeted children (two demonstrated significant health improvements). Twenty-one studies targeted physical activity (14 showed significant health improvements), 13 studies targeted diet (seven showed significant health improvements) and five studies targeted sedentary behaviour (two showed significant health improvements). More studies (n = 12; 63%) of those reporting significant effects detected between-group improvements in the health behaviour or related health outcomes, whilst fewer studies (n = 8; 42%) reported significant within-group improvements. A larger proportion of multi-component interventions (8 out of 13; 62%) showed significant between-group improvements compared to stand-alone app interventions (5 out of 14; 36%). Eleven studies reported app usage statistics, and three of them demonstrated that higher app usage was associated with improved health outcomes. Conclusions: This review provided modest evidence that app-based interventions to improve diet, physical activity and sedentary behaviours can be effective. Multi-component interventions appear to be more effective than stand-alone app interventions, however, this remains to be confirmed in controlled trials. Future research is needed on the optimal number and combination of app features, behaviour change techniques, and level of participant contact needed to maximise user engagement and intervention efficacy.]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 16:16:34 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24185 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:51:51 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:31098 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:48:26 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18508 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:19:08 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18218 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:18:33 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26675 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:02:29 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15463 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:43:44 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:16759 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:34:14 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30728 n = 6746; mean age 58 years old; SD 17; 41% men; 31% hypertensive) and South Africa (n = 3776, mean age 54 years old; SD 17; 32% men; 45% hypertensive). South Africans were more likely than Ghanaians to add salt to food at the table (OR 4.80, CI 4.071–5.611, p < 0.001) but less likely to add salt to food during cooking (OR 0.16, CI 0.130–0.197, p < 0.001). South Africans were also less likely to take action to control their salt intake (OR 0.436, CI 0.379–0.488, p < 0.001). Considering the various salt reduction initiatives of South Africa that have been largely absent in Ghana, this study supports additional efforts to raise consumer awareness on discretionary salt use and behaviour change in both countries]]> Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:24:40 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21980 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:53:37 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:26853 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:14:29 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21621 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:02:11 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35433 Wed 07 Aug 2019 11:19:30 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:25741 Wed 02 Oct 2019 10:21:26 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50342 Abstract Aim This study compares the pattern of physical activity and sleep between shift and non-shift workers using a novel physical activity–sleep index. By drawing from a diverse occupational population, this research aims to reduce any occupational specific biases which are prevalent in shift-work research. Subject and methods Current data included 7607 workers (shift workers n = 832) from the Household Income and Labour Dynamics of Australia cohort study. The combined physical activity–sleep index comprised three physical activity components and three sleep health components: achieving moderate (1pt) or high (2pts) IPAQ classification; accruing ≥30% of physical activity as vigorous intensity (1pt); meeting sleep duration recommendations on a work night (1pt); and non-work night (1pt); and reporting no insomnia symptoms (1pt) (higher score = healthy behaviour, max. 6). Generalised linear modelling was used to compare behaviours of shift and non-shift workers. Results Findings showed shift workers reported significantly lower activity–sleep scores (3.59 vs 3.73, p < 0.001), lower sleep behaviour sub-score (2.01 vs. 2.22, p < 0.001) and were more likely to report insomnia symptoms (p < 0.001) compared to non-shift workers. No difference was reported for overall physical activity (shift = 1.58 vs. non-shift = 1.51, p = 0.383). Conclusion When viewed in conjunction using the combined activity–sleep index, shift workers displayed significantly poorer combined behaviours when compared to non-shift workers. ]]> Tue 25 Jul 2023 10:09:12 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36849 Tue 21 Nov 2023 09:42:58 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39116 Tue 10 May 2022 15:01:34 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30967 Thu 17 Feb 2022 09:26:43 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38922 Thu 16 Nov 2023 12:20:26 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44091 Thu 06 Oct 2022 16:02:35 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:8432 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:40:46 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:15327 Sat 24 Mar 2018 08:26:43 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21676 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:58:28 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:23769 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:13:20 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32792 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:00:21 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39754 Mon 20 Jun 2022 12:01:11 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44560 Mon 17 Oct 2022 10:13:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24424 Mon 13 Jul 2020 13:33:18 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35692 Fri 25 Oct 2019 12:24:25 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:46466 Fri 25 Nov 2022 15:35:03 AEDT ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42240 Fri 19 Aug 2022 11:56:19 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:35884 Fri 10 Jan 2020 12:22:43 AEDT ]]>
