Clinical and Behavioural Heterogeneity Among Women at Increased Risk for Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a growing global health concern due to its impact on maternal and infant health. GDM risk factors vary across populations, but international comparisons using standardised assessment tools are lacking. This study aimed to examine variations in risk factors, demographics and health behaviours among pregnant women at increased risk of GDM across four international sites and to investigate factors associated wi…
Was that Zinger Supposed to Sting? The Interaction Between Humor Use and Abusive Supervision
We investigate how a leader's use of humor might change the perceptions of that leader's feedback, which then influences perceptions of leader-member exchange (LMX). Additionally, we explore how employee coping humor and situational attributions impact this relationship. A 2 (Leader Behavior: Abusive, Supportive) × 2 (Leader Humor: Present, Not Present) between-subjects experimental design was utilized ( N = 467). Participants read a vignette des…
Health and Wellbeing of Regional and Rural Australian Healthcare Workers during the Covid-19 Pandemic
Regional/rural healthcare workers in Victoria, Australia, were experiencing a moderate to high degree of psychological distress during the early stages of the pandemic. However, most participants demonstrated a normal/high degree of resilience. Findings will be used to inform policy options to support healthcare workers in responding to future pandemics

Can Waist-to-Height Ratio and Health Literacy Be Used in Primary Care for Prioritizing Further Assessment of People at T2DM Risk
Waist-to-height ratio and the Finnish Diabetes Risk instrument may be suitable for identifying who need further tests and follow-up care for health promotion in primary care

Narrative and play-based interviewing - a framework for eliciting the perspectives of young children
The aim of this article is to provide researchers a detailed framework for conducting high-quality research with young children 3–6 years of age. We argue that young children’s insider perspectives, perceptions and experiences are underrepresented in research owing to methodological challenges. In this article, we present a narrative and play-based approach to eliciting the perspectives of young children, 3–6 years of age, through a developmental…
Methodological approaches applicable to patient-provider interaction analysis
Online platforms and smartphone applications that facilitate patient-provider communication are examples of how digital technologies support human interaction. Telehealth enables clinical encounters when physical consultations are not possible, and evidence confirms that face-to-face and remote healthcare encounters have comparable efficacy. Furthermore, research shows that patient-provider communication and relationship influence patient outcome…
The Role of Trust in the Care of Young Children with Type 1 Diabetes
Using the theoretical framework of Guido Möllering conceptualising trust as a mental process composed of three elements-expectation, interpretation and suspension-we examined the role of trust in relation to young children's (age ≤ 7 years) psychosocial needs when diagnosed with type 1 diabetes. Based on qualitative interviews with health care professionals (HPCs) from paediatric diabetes clinics in all regions of Denmark, we identified four main…
A delicate balance between control and flexibility
For children with type 1 diabetes, the period of adolescence is associated with higher blood glucose levels and increased psychological distress compared to other age groups. Focusing on pre-teens (9-12 years) with type 1 diabetes and their families has been suggested as key to understanding and reducing these challenges. The aim of this study was to explore: 1, how diabetes affects family life, 2, experiences of and needs for support and 3, how …
Is sleep duration associated with overweight/obesity in Indigenous Australian adults
Adding to reports relating sleep duration and BMI for Australian adults, this study provides evidence for an inverse relationship in non-Indigenous adults and suggests a similar trend for Indigenous adults. This trend was non-significant but is consistent with previous results for Indigenous children
Look into the crystal ball
Many impulsive behaviors, unpleasant emotions, and misguided cognitions increase the incidence of type 2 diabetes and other conditions. This study tests the premise that such risk factors are inversely related to future clarity-the extent to which the future seems vivid and certain. Specifically, 211 participants completed the measures of future clarity and various determinants of health. Future clarity was positively associated with the inclinat…
Cardiovascular disease risk factors in a Nigerian population with impaired fasting blood glucose level and diabetes mellitus
The higher prevalence of co-morbidity of CVD risk factors with IFG than in diabetes plus the similar age of co-morbidity between IFG and diabetes highlights the need for risk assessment models for prediabetes and education of individuals at risk about factors that mitigate development of diabetes and CVDs
Predicting Risk‐Mitigating Behaviors From Indecisiveness and Trait Anxiety
Past research suggests that indecisiveness and trait anxiety may both decrease the likelihood of performing risk‐mitigating preparatory behaviors (e.g., preparing for natural hazards) and suggests two cognitive processes (perceived control and worrying) as potential mediators. However, no single study to date has examined the influence of these traits and processes together. Examining them simultaneously is necessary to gain an integrated underst…
Diabetes Miles Youth–Australia
The online survey format was a successful and economical approach for engaging young people with type 1 diabetes and their parents. This rich quantitative and qualitative dataset focuses not only on diabetes management and healthcare access but also on important psychosocial factors (e.g. social support, general emotional well-being, and diabetes distress). Analysis of the Diabetes MILES Youth-Australia Study data is ongoing, and will provide fur…
Prevalence of cardiovascular disease risk factors among a Nigerian adult population
This study has shown that a significant number of modifiable CVD risk factors exist in the rural and urban migrants of an adult Nigerian population. While income level did not affect the CVD risk factor prevalence, it did affect accessibility to CVD risk screening. There is a need for access to diagnosis of modifiable risk factors at all levels of society
Self-reported harassment and bullying in Australian universities
We analyse data from the largest survey of university staff in Australia to determine whether bullying and harassment are more common in regional than metropolitan and Go8 universities, and to what extent any differences could be attributed to other factors. While professional staff showed no difference in harassment rates between regional and metropolitan and Go8 universities, academic staff at regional universities reported significantly higher…
Specific psychological variables predict quality of diet in women of lower, but not higher, educational attainment
Exploring current service provision for Prolonged Grief Disorder and suggestions for future advances
Prolonged Grief Disorder, previously known as Complicated Grief, has been discussed within the literature base for over 60 years, however significant disparity has traditionally existed in the guidance of important issues such as definition, aetiology, assessment, and intervention within this population. Despite this, an increasing amount of research is now attempting to examine current conceptualisations and treatment approaches. The current lit…
Constraints on food choices of women in the UK with lower educational attainment
Objective Women of lower educational attainment have less balanced and varied diets than women of higher educational attainment. The diets of women are vital to the long-term health of their offspring. The present study aimed to identify factors that influence the food choices of women with lower educational attainment and how women could be helped to improve those choices. Design We conducted eight focus group discussions with women of lower edu…
