Development of a Health Text Message System to Support Stroke Prevention: A Component of the Love Your Brain Digital Platform
OBJECTIVES: Globally, stroke is a common cause of death and disability. More than 80% of strokes are reported to be preventable through effective management of modifiable risk factors. Text messages can encourage changes in health behaviour. The Love Your Brain project involves the development and evaluation of a digital health platform for stroke prevention in Australia. In this study, we aimed to develop a text message system and content for th…
Co‐Designing a Digital Stroke Prevention Platform: Leveraging Lived Experience and Expert Advice
BACKGROUND: The majority of strokes are preventable through effective risk factor management. Existing primary prevention strategies have insufficient reach and effectiveness. Digital health technologies offer the potential to overcome some of these barriers. The aim of this study was to co-design the 'Love Your Brain' digital platform, including an online education program (Massive Open Online Course, MOOC) and text messaging system, for communi…
Co‐Design of a Registry‐Based Tailored Follow‐up Service Intervention for People Living With Stroke: A Multiple Method Consensus Approach
BACKGROUND: Often people experience ongoing health challenges after stroke. The Australian Stroke Clinical Registry collects patient-reported outcomes after stroke. Many patients report challenges that are potentially addressable through additional support. AIMS: To co-design a registry-based, hospital-initiated, follow-up service for people who report major health-related challenges between 90 and 180 days after their stroke. METHODS: Iterative,…
Processes Underpinning Successful Co‐Design: Lessons From a Digital Health Project
Background Co‐design helps to align research with end‐user needs, but there is no consistent method for reporting co‐design methodology and evaluation. We share our experiences co‐designing the Love Your Brain digital platform for stroke prevention. We evaluated the core attributes that guided our co‐design approach, including recruitment, focus group coordination, participant engagement and satisfaction. Methods Online co‐design focus groups wer…
Preventing Stroke Research Priorities Project: An Initiative of Synergies to Prevent Stroke (STOPstroke)
Background: Research priority setting projects provide a method to engage stakeholders in the prioritisation of research activities. We conducted a priority setting project to identify priorities for research into the primary and secondary prevention of stroke. Methods: A modified James Lind Alliance method was used for this project undertaken in Australia and New Zealand with two online surveys (September–November 2021 and May‐June 2022) and an …
Establishing Quality Indicators and Implementation Priorities for Post‐Stroke Aphasia Services Through End‐User Involvement
BACKGROUND: Currently, there are no agreed quality standards for post-stroke aphasia services. Therefore, it is unknown if care reflects best practices or meets the expectations of people living with aphasia. We aimed to (1) shortlist, (2) operationalise and (3) prioritise best practice recommendations for post-stroke aphasia care. METHODS: Three phases of research were conducted. In Phase 1, recommendations with strong evidence and/or known to b…
Gender-specific aspects of socialisation and risk of cardiovascular disease among community-dwelling older adults: A prospective cohort study using machine learning algorithms and a conventional metho…
BACKGROUND: Gender influences cardiovascular disease (CVD) through norms, social relations, roles and behaviours. This study identified gender-specific aspects of socialisation associated with CVD. METHODS: A longitudinal study was conducted, involving 9936 (5,231 women and 4705 men) initially healthy, community-dwelling Australians aged 70 years or more from the ASPirin in Reducing Events in the Elderly (ASPREE) study and ASPREE Longitudinal Stu…
Mixed methods evaluation to explore participant experiences of a pilot randomized trial to facilitate self‐management of people living with stroke: Inspiring virtual enabled resources following vascul…
INTRODUCTION: Despite digital health tools being popular for supporting self-management of chronic diseases, little research has been undertaken on stroke. We developed and pilot tested, using a randomized controlled design, a multicomponent digital health programme, known as Inspiring Virtual Enabled Resources following Vascular Events (iVERVE), to improve self-management after stroke. The 4-week trial incorporated facilitated person-centred goa…
Linking Data From the Australian Stroke Clinical Registry With Ambulance and Emergency Administrative Data in Victoria
Objective : In Australia, approximately 3 in 4 people with acute stroke use an ambulance. Few examples of merging ambulance clinical records, hospital government data, and national registry data for stroke exist. We sought to understand the advantages of using linked datasets for describing the full clinical journey of people with stroke and the possibility of investigating their long-term outcomes based on pre-hospital management of stroke. Meth…
Factors influencing self-reported anxiety or depression following stroke or TIA using linked registry and hospital data
Is health-related quality of life between 90 and 180 days following stroke associated with long-term unmet needs
Comparison of two methods for assessing diabetes risk in a pharmacy setting in Australia
In a large, community-based sample of Australians about half of the participants without diabetes were at 'high risk 'of developing diabetes based on either AUSDRISK or RBGT results. AUSDRISK was considered to be an acceptable method for assessing the risk of diabetes using opportunistic health checks in community pharmacies
