A qualitative exploration of pregnant women’s awareness and utilization of the Australian dietary guidelines for pregnancy
PURPOSE: The Australian dietary guidelines for pregnancy advise on optimal maternal intake. However, previous literature demonstrates suboptimal adherence to guidelines, with no evidence of the experience of sourcing nor uptake of the dietary guidelines among pregnant women. We aimed to explore pregnant women's knowledge of nutrition information, including the current Australian dietary guidelines for pregnancy. METHODS: Nineteen pergnant women w…
Food insecurity among international students’ studying in Melbourne, Australia
Food insecurity among international students at Australian universities is a hidden phenomenon obscured by shame and stigma, exacerbated by the cost-of-living crisis and deprivations intensified by the Covid-19 epidemic. However, there is limited diversity in understanding of young people’s navigations of food insecurity. The aims of this paper are to illuminate the experiences, impacts, management strategies and factors affecting international s…

Priority setting in higher education research using a mixed methods approach
Setting priorities for higher education research is essential to maximise limited resources. Our study aimed to identify priorities for higher education research at one large research-intensive Australian university. A sequential three-phase mixed methods study was conducted. Phase 1 engaged 69 students, academics, and professional staff in an anonymous qualitative online survey to identify their perspectives on priorities. These qualitative data…
Exploration of the food environment in different socioeconomic areas in Hong Kong and Singapore
This study explored the local food environment of Hong Kong and Singapore using a qualitative case study approach to inform future upstream public health nutrition policies. Food outlets that provide food to be eaten in the home were mapped in selected areas of high and low socioeconomic status (SES) of Hong Kong and Singapore. Food outlet density relative to land area was determined. In both countries, lower SES areas surveyed were shown to have…
An Autoethnographic Account of a Bicultural Clinician-Researcher Applying New Evidence of Chinese Diabetes Education Into Practice
Introduction: A clinician-researcher in translational research fulfils obligations in care provision and knowledge generation. Similarly, a bicultural clinician could struggle to switch between cultural paradigms. The purpose of this study was to explore the in-depth experience of multiple roles as a bicultural clinician-researcher in a translational research study. Methods: This study employed an autoethnographical method, where the first author…
Not Scared of SugarTM
Type 2 diabetes disproportionately affects the Chinese population yet there are no structured diabetes education programs specifically designed for this community in Australia. This project aimed to develop and evaluate a pilot type 2 diabetes group education program designed specifically for Chinese migrants living in Australia. A non-randomised pre- versus post-intervention trial was conducted between March 2017 and November 2018. A culturally …
Culturally Tailored Diabetes Education for Chinese Patients
Purpose: To explore the range of teaching approaches and cultural-tailoring elements used in diabetes educations directed at Chinese patients and to determine the strategies that appeared to best address Chinese patients’ needs. Design: A case study approach in three countries was employed, using multiple ethnographic data collection methods including participant observations and qualitative interviews. Findings: Data were collected from 39 parti…
Diabetes management in a foreign land
The aim of this study was to understand the experience of Chinese migrants living with type 2 diabetes in Australia and explore their culturally specific diabetes management needs, habits and expectations in the Australian context to help shape an Australian Chinese diabetes service. A case study approach was employed across two Australian cities (Melbourne and Sydney), using participant-observations and qualitative interviews. Purposive sampling…
Health-specific family coping index for noninstitutional care
We report on attempts to improve the Richmond/Hopkins Family Coping Index. Factor analysis showed that revised operational guidelines for using the index probably contributed to a significantly higher per cent of variance explained by the index (83 per cent versus 59 per cent). Interrater reliability was high (greater than or equal to .97). Correlation between this index and another coping index was also high (.94). Results support the continued …
