Results: Observation participants differed in functional ability whereas stroke survivor interviewees were all ambulant. Six themes related to sedentary behaviour after stroke were generated: (1) sedentary behaviour levels and patterns after stroke; (2) the physical and social environment in the stroke service and in the home; (3) standing and movement capability after stroke; (4) emotion and motivation after stroke; (5) caregivers’ influence on, and role in influencing stroke survivors’ sedentary behaviour; and (6) intervening to reduce sedentary behaviour after stroke. Capability, opportunity and motivation were influenced by the impact of the stroke and caregivers’ inclination to support sedentary behaviour reduction. Stroke survivors reported being more sedentary than they were pre-stroke due to impaired balance and co-ordination, increased fatigue, and reduced confidence in mobilising. Caregivers inclination to support stroke survivors to reduce sedentary behaviour depended on factors including their willingness to withdraw from the caregiver role, and their perception of whether the stroke survivor would act on their encouragement. Conclusions: Many stroke survivors indicate being open to reducing sedentary behaviour, with appropriate support from stroke service staff and caregivers. The findings from this study have contributed to an intervention development process using the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW) approach to develop strategies to reduce sedentary behaviour after stroke.]]> Wed 26 Oct 2022 11:37:18 AEDT ]]> Participation, fear of falling, and upper limb impairment are associated with high sitting time in people with stroke https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:42249 ρ = −0.519, ρ = 0.023). A greater fear of falling (ρ = 0.579, ρ = 0.012) and having an impaired upper limb (mean difference 18.7%, 95% CI: 5.3–32.1, ρ = 0.012) were associated with greater sitting time. Providing support for stroke survivors to participate in meaningful activities while reducing sitting time is an important consideration when planning occupational therapy interventions, particularly for individuals with an arm impairment and/or those with a fear of falling.]]> Wed 24 May 2023 12:22:35 AEST ]]> Efficacy of interventions that use apps to improve diet, physical activity and sedentary behaviour: a systematic review https://ogma.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 ]]> Sitting time, physical activity and sleep by work type and pattern-the Australian Longitudinal Study on Women's Health https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:30541 Wed 11 Apr 2018 15:20:49 AEST ]]> Development and reliability testing of a self-report instrument to measure the office layout as a correlate of occupational sitting https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:14809 Wed 11 Apr 2018 12:33:26 AEST ]]> Objectively measured sedentary behaviour and health and development in children and adolescents: systematic review and meta-analysis https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:24601 Wed 04 Sep 2019 10:24:34 AEST ]]> Effect of a physical activity and sleep m-health intervention on a composite activity-sleep behaviour score and mental health: a mediation analysis of two randomised controlled trials https://ogma.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38160 0.05), and the intervention significantly improved the ASI (all p < 0.05). A more favourable ASI score was associated with improved symptoms of depression, anxiety, stress, QOL-mental and of energy and fatigue (all p < 0.05). The intervention effects on symptoms of depression ([AB; 95%CI] -0.31; - 0.60,-0.11), anxiety (- 0.11; - 0.27,-0.01), stress (- 0.37; - 0.65,-0.174), QOL-mental (0.53; 0.22, 1.01) and ratings of energy and fatigue (0.85; 0.33, 1.63) were mediated by ASI. At 6 months the magnitude of association was larger although the overall pattern of results remained similar. Conclusions: Improvements in the overall physical activity and sleep behaviours of adults partially mediated the intervention effects on mental health and quality of life outcomes. This highlights the potential benefit of improving the overall pattern of physical activity and sleep on these outcomes.
