Mourning murmurations: Speculative fagulation and the ecological lament in drag down under
Drag performers in Australia perform anthro-decentric laments for and beside endemic nonhuman species. They catalyse a public exteriorization of multi-species grief and rage in response to compounding losses in a situated, contested Anthropocene. Approaching queer performance beside intersections in new materialism and the environmental humanities, this article proposes drag as a device of speculative fabulation – of story-telling or fable-making…
Hearing loss and mental health issues in amateur and professional musicians
Musicians are at risk of developing music-induced hearing loss (MIHL) and also exhibit increased prevalence of depression, anxiety, and stress. However, the relationship between hearing loss and mental health issues in musicians has not yet been explored. This study conducted a cross-sectional analysis of 32 professional and 35 amateur musicians recruited from local bands and orchestras. KUDUwave software was used to obtain their overall hearing …
Assessing explicit weight bias among Australian health care students: Suitability of the Beliefs About Obese Persons Scale (Baop) and the Antifat Attitudes Questionnaire (AFA)
The aim of this study was to examine the suitability of the Beliefs About Obese Persons Scale (BAOP) and Antifat Attitudes Questionnaire (AFA) among Australian health care students. Specifically, we explored the factor structures of the two scales, their psychometric properties including internal consistency and convergent validity, and whether they were impacted by social desirability bias. Students studying health care courses at Australian uni…
A Conceptual Model Depicting How Children Are Affected by Parental Cancer: A Constructivist Grounded Theory Approach
Cancer patients' children are vulnerable to psychosocial and behavioural issues. The mechanisms underlying how children are affected by their parent's diagnosis are unknown, warranting further research. This study investigated how children are affected by their parent's cancer diagnosis and provides a theoretical model conceptualising this experience. Informed by methods of grounded theory, embedded within a social constructivist framework, 38 in…
Healthy Eating as a New Way of Life: A Qualitative Study of Successful Long-Term Diet Change
Findings from the present study contribute to the literature in highlighting the importance of internal motivation and autonomy for health behaviours. Findings may inform the development of healthy eating interventions. Encouraging autonomy, fostering values aligned with a healthier diet, and helping individuals establish daily habits is likely to support change
A Conceptual Model of Long-Term Weight Loss Maintenance: The Importance of Cognitive, Empirical and Computational Approaches
Living with obesity is related to numerous negative health outcomes, including various cancers, type II diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. Although much is known about the factors associated with obesity, and a range of weight loss interventions have been established, changing health-related behaviours to positively affect obesity outcomes has proven difficult. In this paper, we first draw together major factors that have emerged within the li…
Australian Health Professionals' Attitudes toward Voluntary Assisted Dying: A Cross-Sectional Survey
Voluntary assisted dying (VAD) is when a terminally ill person with decision-making capacity consensually ends their life with assistance from an authorised professional. Many countries have legalised VAD, and health professionals' roles within VAD frameworks are varied. Health professionals must be well informed of their legal obligations to ensure they practice within the legal boundaries, and those professionals with objections toward VAD shou…
