Evaluating the Sustaining Play, Sustaining Health programme in Australian early childhood education and care services
Early childhood education and care (ECEC) services are a recommended setting to deliver interventions improving children’s physical activity (PA). Indoor–outdoor free play, where children move freely between indoor–outdoor environments, can increase child PA. However, these programmes in ECECs are often not sustained. This study aims to assess the acceptability, feasibility, impact, adoption and cost of the Sustaining Play, Sustaining Health (SPS…
Exploring the impact of a daily sport uniform policy in primary schools
This study deepens our understanding of the potential health and wellbeing benefits a daily sport uniform policy may have and highlights barriers such as traditions persist in school settings. Policy sustainment may require considered implementation support and consulting students in uniform designs and options
A Pilot Randomised Controlled Trial to Increase the Sustainment of an Indoor–Outdoor-Free-Play Program in Early Childhood Education and Care Services
Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) settings are important environments to support children's physical activity (PA). In 2021, COVID-19 regulations recommended the provision of indoor-outdoor free-play programs in ECEC settings to reduce the transmission of COVID-19, resulting in an increased uptake of this practice. As the context has since changed, research suggests that ECEC services could cease the implementation of these practices. The…

School-level factors associated with the sustainment of weekly physical activity scheduled in Australian elementary schools
Further research is required to explore additional contextual-specific, and end-user appropriate factors associated with schools' sustainment of weekly PA scheduled. This will help accurately inform the development of strategies to address these determinants and support the sustainment and long-term benefits of school-based health interventions more broadly
Adaptation and Validation of the Program Sustainability Assessment Tool (PSAT) for Use in the Elementary School Setting
There is a lack of valid and reliable measures of determinants of sustainability specific to public health interventions in the elementary school setting. This study aimed to adapt and evaluate the Program Sustainability Assessment Tool (PSAT) for use in this setting. An expert reference group adapted the PSAT to ensure face validity. Elementary school teachers participating in a multi-component implementation intervention to increase their sched…
A Cluster Randomised Controlled Trial of an Intervention to Increase Physical Activity of Preschool-Aged Children Attending Early Childhood Education and Care
The use of 'Energisers,' short bouts of moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA), have been shown to significantly increase children's physical activity within the school setting but not within Early Childhood Education and Care (ECEC) centres. The aim of this study is to assess the efficacy of an intervention involving the provision of educator-led daily Energisers to increase the time children spend in MVPA while attending ECEC. Fourteen E…

Validity and reliability of the Vietnamese Physician Professional Values Scale
Physician values influence a physician's clinical practice and level of medical professionalism. Currently, there is no psychometrically valid scale to assess physician values in Vietnam. This study assessed the initial validity and reliability of the Vietnamese Physician Professional Values Scale (VPPVS). Hartung's original Physician Values in Practice Scale (PVIPS) was translated from English into Vietnamese and adapted to reflect the cultural …
Access to Care and Impacts of Cancer on Daily Life
PURPOSE: Little is known about access to care for hematological cancer patients. This study explored patient experiences of barriers to accessing care and associated financial and social impacts of the disease. Metropolitan versus nonmetropolitan experiences were compared. METHODS: A state-based Australian cancer registry identified adult survivors of hematological cancers (including lymphoma, leukemia and myeloma) diagnosed in the previous 3 yea…
