Abstract Background Research capacity building (RCB) initiatives have gained steady momentum in health settings across the globe to reduce gap between research evidence and practice policy. RCB strategies are typically multidimensional, comprising several targeted at different levels within organisations. education training is a mainstay strategy individual level yet, for unclear. This review scopes literature on programs nurses allied professionals, delivered evaluated healthcare...
Abstract Background Sarcopenia is an age-related skeletal muscle disorder associated with deleterious health outcomes. Few studies have examined associations between sarcopenia and quality of life (QoL). Therefore, the purpose this study was to determine whether independently specific domains QoL. Methods This cross-sectional QoL in a population-based sample 682 adults aged 60–96 years. defined according revised European Working Group on Older People algorithm. Appendicular lean mass...
Background: The magnitude and causes of eye diseases in Ethiopia has been derived from small scale studies. This information became no longer useful tracking the success intensified efforts preventing controlling avoidable blindness line with goals Vision 2020: Right to Sight. Objective: national household survey was conducted primarily provide regional state level estimates low vision, trachoma. secondary aims include describing major vision blindness. Methods: utilized cross sectional...
Background: Trachoma is known to be one of the major causes blindness in Ethiopia. However recent data that indicate disease burden were lacking. Objective: To determine prevalence active trachoma and trachomatous trichiasis at national regional levels. Methods: A population based cross sectional design with multistage sampling strategy was used. All nine states two city administrations country involved survey. Survey subjects drawn from permanent households. grading done by standardized...
Accumulation of fat in the liver and skeletal muscle is associated with obesity poor health outcomes. Liver steatosis a characteristic non-alcoholic fatty disease (NAFLD) myosteatosis, quality sarcopenia. In this study 403 men (33-96 years), we investigated associations between index (FLI) density, as markers accumulation these organs. We also FLI parameters sarcopenia, including DXA-derived appendicular lean mass (ALM) handgrip strength by dynamometry. Muscle density was measured using pQCT...
Abstract Background To evaluate the impact of Dementia Care in Hospitals Program (DCHP) on clinical and non-clinical staff job satisfaction, level confidence comfort caring for patients with cognitive impairment (CI). Staff perceptions how organisational support hospital environment met needs CI were also assessed. Methods The DCHP was implemented across four acute sites Australia. Clinical received training screening communication strategies CI. A satisfaction survey administered pre-...
The abbreviated World Health Organisation Quality of Life tool (WHOQOL-BREF) is a short-form quality life (QoL) assessment commonly used worldwide in both healthy and ill populations. Normative data for the Australian general population are limited. objective this study was to present normative WHOQOL-BREF based on sample. A secondary aim explore sociodemographic factors related QoL. Population-based cross-sectional study. 929 men 830 women aged 24-94 years participating Geelong Osteoporosis...
Abstract Background Originally, sarcopenia meant ‘poverty of flesh’, but recent operational definitions have brought poor muscle function to the fore. None has considered psychological well‐being. We compared components European Working Group on Sarcopenia in Older People Version 2 (EWGSOP2), Foundation for National Institutes Health (FNIH), and Definitions Outcomes Consortium (SDOC) algorithms individuals with without depressive anxiety symptoms. Methods This cross‐sectional study involved...
We aimed to determine women's risk of major depressive disorder (MDD) in relation obesity phenotypes characterized by levels circulating high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP).This population-based retrospective cohort study comprised 808 women (ages 20-84 y) recruited 1994-1997 and followed for a median 16.1 y (IQR 11.9-16.8). At baseline, body fat lean tissue mass were measured whole dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DXA). Obesity was identified as high index (>12.9 kg/m2), percentage...
Building clinician and organisation-level research translation capacity capability is fundamental for increasing the implementation of into health practice policy improving outcomes. Research building particularly crucial in rural regional settings to address complex problems impacting these socially economically disadvantaged communities. Programs build clinicians' typically involve training mentoring. Little known about features influences on mentorships context emerging...
The findings in this paper contradict a good deal of clinical experience the beneficial effects antidepressant drugs on certain depressed patients.These may not provide much relief for severely patient, but considerable number less patients effect mood state seems specific and simply result sedative action, as suggested by authors.More striking results might be obtained if similar trial were to per- formed suffering from depression seen at stage before they had been selected failure respond...
We aimed to examine associations between skeletal muscle deficits and indices of poor health. Cut-points for were derived using data from the Geelong Osteoporosis Study definitions revised European Consensus on Definition Diagnosis Foundation National Institutes Health. Participants (n = 665; 323 women) aged 60–96 year had handgrip strength measured by dynamometry appendicular lean mass whole-body dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Physical performance was assessed Timed Up Go test....
