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 ]]> Smoking cessation care for people with a mental illness: family carer expectations of health and community services https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24637 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:32:37 AEST ]]> Chronic disease health risk behaviours amongst people with a mental illness https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24182 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:56:20 AEST ]]> A survey of the prevalence of modifiable health risk behaviours among carers of people with a mental illness https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36592 p = .02). Carers in the workforce were more likely to be engaging in inadequate physical activity (OR: 2.6, 95% CI: 1.2–5.7, p = .02); and male participants were more likely to engage in harmful alcohol consumption (OR: 2.9, 95% CI: 1.1–7.9, p = .03). Working carers were approximately five times more likely to report interest in improving their alcohol consumption (OR: 5.1, 95% CI: 1.3–20.5, p = .02) compared to those not currently in the workforce. Conclusions: Results suggest high engagement in health risk behaviours among carers of people with a mental illness, particularly with regards to harmful alcohol consumption. Findings suggest a need to develop and implement chronic disease prevention strategies. Further research with larger representative samples is needed to confirm findings.]]> Wed 10 Jun 2020 14:16:43 AEST ]]> Systematic review and meta-analysis of the provision of preventive care for modifiable chronic disease risk behaviours by mental health services https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36589 Wed 10 Jun 2020 14:02:44 AEST ]]> Preventive care for physical activity and fruit and vegetable consumption: a survey of family carer expectations of health service delivery for people with a mental health condition https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:37265 Tue 15 Sep 2020 13:05:19 AEST ]]> Outpatient interventions for smoking cessation and reduction for adults with a mental disorder (protocol) https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36394 Tue 07 Apr 2020 15:53:48 AEST ]]> Supporting change in chronic disease risk behaviours for people with a mental illness: a qualitative study of the experiences of family carers https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:32792 Mon 23 Sep 2019 13:00:21 AEST ]]>
