The implementation of practices regarding the restriction of unhealthy drinks in school canteens, healthy school fundraisers and staff training related to healthy eating was reported in under 25% of participating schools. There were no significant differences in implementation by school sector, socio-economic status and geographic location. The main barrier to inclusion of nutrition policies and practices in the school plan was having other priorities and commitments (28.5%), and the main facilitator was support from stakeholders, the staff, students and their parents (37.2%). Conclusions: There is opportunity to improve the implementation of nutrition policies and practices in NSW secondary schools. So What?: Strategies are needed for targeting barriers. These include: gaining support from school staff, students and parents, provision of resources and funding and staff training.]]> Wed 12 Oct 2022 10:45:26 AEDT ]]> Support for smoke-free vocational education settings: an exploratory survey of staff behaviours, experiences and attitudes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13481 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:37:09 AEST ]]> Acceptability and receipt of preventive care for chronic-disease health risk behaviors reported by clients of community mental health services https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24180 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:08:53 AEST ]]> Assessing smoking status in disadvantaged populations: is computer administered self report an accurate and acceptable measure? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13477 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:03:01 AEST ]]> Clinician assessment, advice and referral for multiple health risk behaviors: prevalence and predictors of delivery by primary health care nurses and allied health professionals https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:21410 Wed 11 Apr 2018 14:01:49 AEST ]]> Telephone recruitment into a randomized controlled trial of quitline support https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:7622 Wed 11 Apr 2018 13:13:10 AEST ]]> Dealing with alcohol-related problems in the night-time economy: a study protocol for mapping trends in harm and stakeholder views surrounding local community level interventions https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24148 Wed 11 Apr 2018 11:25:22 AEST ]]> How does the distress thermometer compare to the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale for detecting possible cases of psychological morbidity among cancer survivors? https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:13568 Wed 11 Apr 2018 10:06:27 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 ]]> Validity of a measure to assess healthy eating and physical activity policies and practices in Australian childcare services https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:18580 Wed 11 Apr 2018 09:15:14 AEST ]]> Availability of food and beverage items on school canteen menus and association with items purchased by children of primary-school age https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:33503 Wed 10 Nov 2021 15:05:49 AEDT ]]> School-level factors associated with the sustainment of weekly physical activity scheduled in Australian elementary schools: an observational study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51140 Wed 07 Feb 2024 14:53:37 AEDT ]]> Alcohol management practices in community sporting clubs: validation of an online self-report tool https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:34414 Wed 06 Mar 2019 12:06:39 AEDT ]]> Scale-up of the Physical Activity 4 Everyone (PA4E1) intervention in secondary schools: 24-month implementation and cost outcomes from a cluster randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:44033 75%).

/manager/Repository/uon:28169 Palliative Care Needs Assessment Guidelines and Needs Assessment Tool: Progressive Disease-Cancer (NAT: PD-C) on clinical assessment, response and service utilisation. Study setting: Three major oncology treatment centres in NSW, Australia. Study design: Between March 2007 and December 2009, 219 people with advanced cancer were recruited to complete bi-monthly telephone interviews. The intervention, introduced after at least two baseline interviews, involved training health professionals to complete the NAT: PD-C with patients approximately monthly. Data collection: Rates of service use and referrals were compared pre- and post-introduction of the NAT: PD-C. Rates of completion of the tool; its impact on consultation length; and the types of needs and follow-up care to address these were also assessed. Principal findings: The NAT: PD-C had a high rate of completion; identified needs consistent with those self-reported by patients in interviews; and did not alter consultation length. No changes in the number of health professionals seen by patients were found pre- and post-intervention. Conclusion: The NAT: PD-C is an efficient and acceptable strategy for supporting needs-based cancer care that can potentially be incorporated into standard routine care without increasing the burden on care providers.]]> Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:36:35 AEDT ]]> The next generation of the supportive care needs survey: a brief screening tool for administration in the clinical oncology setting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:22301 Sat 24 Mar 2018 07:11:06 AEDT ]]> Barriers and enablers to adoption of digital health interventions to support the implementation of dietary guidelines in early childhood education and care: cross-sectional study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38801 changes needed in team interactions subdomain scored lowest, which is indicative of a potential barrier (mean 3.52, SD 1.30), with organization’s capacity to innovate scoring highest, which is indicative of a potential enabler (mean 5.25, SD 1.00). The two NASSS subdomains of ease of the adoption decision (P<.001) and identifying work and individuals involved in implementation (P=.001) were significantly associated with high intentions to adopt digital health interventions. Conclusions: A substantial proportion of Australian childcare centers have high intentions to adopt new digital health interventions to support dietary guideline implementation. Given evidence of the effectiveness of digital health interventions, these findings suggest that such an intervention may make an important contribution to improving public health nutrition in early childhood.]]> Mon 29 Jan 2024 18:02:27 AEDT ]]> Evaluation of an implementation support package to increase community mental health clinicians' routine delivery of preventive care for multiple health behaviours: a non-randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:54024 Mon 29 Jan 2024 13:34:51 AEDT ]]> Evaluating the scaling up of an effective implementation intervention (PACE) to increase the delivery of a mandatory physical activity policy in primary schools https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:51974 50% of schools adhered to the majority of strategies (11 of the 14 components); and acceptability was > 50% agreement for all strategies.

Results: Overall, 89 children were included (mean age: 4.7 years; 59.5% female). The mean difference between parent-reported and researcher-measured data were small (BMI z-score: mean difference −0.01 [95% CI: −0.45 to 0.44]). There was “fair/weak” agreement between parent-categorised child BMI compared with researcher-measured data (Cohen's Kappa 0.24 [95% CI: 0.06 to 0.42]). Agreement was poor (Cohen's kappa <0.2) for female children, when reported by fathers or by parents with a BMI > 25 kg/m2. Conclusion: There was “fair/weak” agreement between parent-reported and measured estimates of child weight status. So What?: Parent's report of weight and height may be a weak indicator of adiposity at the level of individuals however it may be useful for aggregate estimates.]]> Mon 04 Dec 2023 15:58:46 AEDT ]]> A Combined Deep Learning and Ensemble Learning Methodology to Avoid Electricity Theft in Smart Grids https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:39884 Fri 29 Jul 2022 15:05:20 AEST ]]> Effectiveness of a multicomponent intervention to enhance implementation of a healthy canteen policy in Australian primary schools: a randomised controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24525 Fri 25 Sep 2020 13:38:39 AEST ]]> Associations between in-school-hours physical activity and child health-related quality of life: a cross-sectional study in a sample of Australian primary school children https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38683 Fri 17 Dec 2021 10:45:18 AEDT ]]> Evaluation of a voucher scheme to increase child physical activity in participants of a school physical activity trial in the Hunter region of Australia https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:47229 Fri 16 Dec 2022 12:01:44 AEDT ]]> A cluster randomized controlled trial evaluating the impact of tailored feedback on the purchase of healthier foods from primary school online canteens https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48918 Fri 14 Apr 2023 16:20:17 AEST ]]> Implementation of policies and practices to increase physical activity among children attending centre‐based childcare: a cross‐sectional study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36819 Fri 11 Aug 2023 16:49:23 AEST ]]> Facilitating needs-based support and palliative care for people with chronic heart failure: preliminary evidence for the acceptability, inter-rater reliability, and validity of a needs assessment tool https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:20126 Fri 10 Mar 2023 18:52:55 AEDT ]]> Improving outcomes for people with progressive cancer: interrupted time series trial of a needs assessment intervention https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:28170 health system and information and patient care and support needs.

There was no statistically significant between group differences in any of the outcomes, including accelerometer measured physical activity, out-of-school-hours physical activity, HRQoL, and on-task behaviour. A statistically significant differential effect by sex was found for sedentary behaviour across the whole school day (3.16 min, 95% CI: 0.19, 6.13; p = 0.028), with females illustrating a greater difference between groups than males. Conclusions: Only negligible effects on student physical activity were found. Additional strategies including improving the quality of teacher's delivery of physical activity may be required to enhance effects.]]> Fri 05 May 2023 11:53:53 AEST ]]> Implementation of a school physical activity policy improves student physical activity levels: Outcomes of a cluster-randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:41566 Fri 05 Aug 2022 14:37:31 AEST ]]> A cross-sectional study to determine the energy density and nutritional quality of primary-school children's lunchboxes https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38134 Fri 03 Sep 2021 10:17:31 AEST ]]> Cost per participant recruited from rural and remote areas into a smoking cessation trial via online or traditional strategies: observational study https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:36375 Fri 03 Apr 2020 15:49:50 AEDT ]]> The impact of school uniforms on primary school student’s physical activity at school: outcomes of a cluster randomized controlled trial https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:49831 Fri 02 Jun 2023 16:03:52 AEST ]]>
