The Preconception Health and Health Behaviors of Australian First-Time Fathers: A Cross-Sectional Study
572). The findings of this research support an undervalued albeit indispensable research area by providing up-to-date evidence-based information regarding paternal preconception health and health behaviors. This public health research with a focus on paternal preconception health behaviors and health behavior change can only strengthen the call for preventive health and offer preconception health and preventive knowledge about males for the resea…
The health beliefs, attitudes, and intentions of males toward pregnancy planning and preconception health and care: A systematic review
Males do not always opt for a preconception consultation and many believe they are adequately prepared for a healthy pregnancy. Further, many males place a greater level of responsibility for planning and preparing for pregnancy on their partners rather than themselves. Further research focused upon male experiences and perspectives around preconception health is needed to inform targeted preconception health education, policy and care
The influence of environmental exposures during the preconception period on offspring outcomes: A systematic review
Introduction Health behaviors and exposures to environmental hazards among individuals of reproductive age prior to pregnancy can influence maternal and child health outcomes. While research attention has focused on preconception health behaviors, such as diet and lifestyle, there is emerging evidence that environmental exposures may also be important to consider. Methods A search strategy (PROSPERO # CRD42021240069) was developed for MEDLINE (OV…
Protecting pregnant women from extreme heat: A content analysis of heat health action plans
Extreme heat exposure increases maternal vulnerability to adverse health outcomes. Heat Health Action Plans (HHAPs) are crucial to risk reduction and adaptive strategies for this vulnerable population. This study analyses the content of HHAPs to assess the extent to which they recognise pregnant women as a heat-vulnerable population, identify any maternal heat-health interventions, and develop recommendations to enhance HHAPs from a maternal heal…
Community knowledge of Australia’s national preventive health strategy focus areas: A nationally representative survey of 1509 adults
This research highlights the need for future research to investigate and understand some key issues challenging efforts to optimise effective preventive health initiatives with a view to informing better community health and wellbeing outcomes
Designing the Contemporary Implementation of Traditional knowledge and Evidence (Cite) framework to guide the application of traditional knowledge in contemporary health contexts: A Delphi study
As the international health community increasingly recognised the potential value and importance of TCIH knowledge and technologies, this Contemporary Implementation of Traditional knowledge and Evidence (CITE) Framework provides a timely and much-needed practical guide to rigorous and respectful traditional knowledge implementation
The prevalence of breastfeeding aversion response in Australia: A national cross‐sectional survey
Some women who breastfeed will experience complex ongoing difficulties, such as breastfeeding aversion response (BAR). This recently named breastfeeding challenge is defined as feelings of aversion while breastfeeding for the entire time that the child is latched. This study provides the first prevalence data for the experience of BAR in Australian breastfeeding women. A national online survey investigated the breastfeeding experience of Australi…
Naturopaths’ behaviours, attitudes and perceptions towards the use of knowledge and information sources
Naturopathic practitioners do not appear to have a strong level of trust for any particular information source, despite variations in trust between sources. Further, their philosophies and principles may promote the importance naturopathic practitioners place on non-research information sources such as patient experience and add further complexity to clinical decision-making processes for naturopathic practitioners
The salutogenic gaze: Theorising the practitioner role in complementary and alternative medicine consultations
Research on why people use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) shows clients value the CAM consultation, where they feel listened to and empowered to control their own health. Such 'empowerment' through CAM use is often theorised as reflecting wider neoliberal imperatives of self-responsibility. CAM users' perspectives are well studied, but there has been little sociological analysis of interactions within the CAM consultation. Specifica…
Experiences, perceptions and expectations of health services amongst marginalized populations in urban Australia: A meta‐ethnographic review of the literature
Practitioner and practice characteristics of Australian osteopaths who discuss lifestyle factors with patients: Findings from a national practice‐based research network
Healthcare professionals' advice on lifestyle behaviours is a key factor in improving a nation's health. Although allied health professionals have been well placed to provide such advice as part of patient care, little is known about the characteristics of allied health practitioners who discuss lifestyle topics with patients. This paper focused upon an overlooked avenue for lifestyle advice regarding an allied health profession - osteopathy. A w…
Providing healthcare to Ebola survivors: A qualitative exploratory investigation of healthcare providers’ views and experiences in Sierra Leone
Although the experiences of healthcare workers regarding caring for Ebola patients during the West African Ebola outbreak have been explored, little is known about healthcare workers' experiences in providing care to Ebola survivors. We employed a qualitative design to address this gap in the literature. Healthcare providers described the health complaints of Ebola survivors as similar to those of ordinary patients, but disproportionately frequen…
An assessment of Ebola-related stigma and its association with informal healthcare utilisation among Ebola survivors in Sierra Leone: A cross-sectional study
Our findings suggest EVD-related stigma (internalised and enacted) is prevalent among EVD survivors since their return to their communities. Religiosity, perceived health status and region were identified as independent predictors of internalised stigma. Verbal abuse and healthcare neglect predict informal healthcare use. EVD survivor-centred and community-driven anti-stigma programs are needed to promote EVD survivors' recovery and community re-…
Consultation with complementary medicine practitioners by individuals with chronic conditions: Characteristics and reasons for consultation in Australian clinical settings
The duration and complexity of chronic conditions leads patients to consult complementary medicine (CM) practitioners, yet such care-seeking by this clinical population has not been thoroughly examined. This study describes characteristics and reasons for consultation amongst those with chronic conditions who consult CM practitioners. A cross-sectional study surveyed patients in clinics of 39 CM practitioners from the five most accessed CM profes…

Women's Use and Self-Prescription of Herbal Medicine during Pregnancy: An Examination of 1,835 Pregnant Women
Trained or professional doulas in the support and care of pregnant and birthing women: A critical integrative review
The professionalisation of doula care and research interest in this area of maternity care/support have both grown internationally in recent years highlighting important broader issues around the access, continuity and delivery of maternity care services. However, no work to date has provided a critical appraisal of the international literature on this topic. In response, this paper presents the first critical review of international empirical li…
