Cognitive behavioural therapy for older adults with depressive symptoms living in residential aged care
Late-life depression training for in-home aged care staff
The demand for in-home aged care services is increasing. Given the high prevalence of mental health difficulties among service users, it is important for aged care staff to be equipped to identify and to respond to such issues. To address this need, the Enhanced Management of home-Based Elders with Depression (EMBED) staff training program in late-life depression was developed. This pilot study evaluated the program’s feasibility, acceptability, …

Challenges, knowledge, and skills required for family caregivers of older adults with dementia
INTRODUCTION: Most people with dementia (PwD) receive home care from their family members. Caring for PwD can be challenging; however, many family caregivers do not receive adequate training. The lack of support, knowledge, and skills in dementia care places significant physical and psychological stress on family caregivers. OBJECTIVES: This qualitative study explored the challenges faced by family caregivers in providing care for PwD and identif…
A Cup of Tea and a Chat
Older adults receiving aged care services within their own homes have high prevalence rates of depression and anxiety. Psychological treatments are effective for this population, but mental health services are underutilised. Little is known about the mental healthcare preferences of in‐home aged care recipients and the specific types of barriers and facilitators they experience when seeking mental health support. To understand these lived experie…
Trajectories of distress in women with gynaecological cancer treated with curative-intent radiotherapy
OBJECTIVE: The aims of this study were to investigate trajectories of anxiety and depression symptoms among gynaecological cancer (GC) patients having curative-intent radiotherapy (RT) treatment and identify which patient characteristics predict anxiety and depression trajectories. METHODS AND MEASURES: Latent profile analysis (LPA) was used to identify unique trajectories of anxiety and depression symptoms, spanning prior to the start of RT unti…
Thematic analysis informed by grounded theory (TAG) in healthcare research
Grounded theory (GT) and thematic analysis (TA) are commonly used in qualitative healthcare research. Published by Glaser and Strauss in 1967, GT was the first set of qualitative research strategies described. TA has since been compared with selected GT strategies. This narrative review aims to examine and illustrate how TA can be informed by GT and elucidate a TA informed by GT (TAG) methodology. Utlizing models of researching practice wisdom an…
Self-compassion and parenting efficacy among mothers who are breast cancer survivors
Mothers who are breast cancer survivors may experience psychological distress in relation to diminished parenting efficacy. Self-compassion may protect mothers from psychological distress, yet little is known about self-compassion in this population. The extent to which self-warmth (self-kindness, mindfulness and sense of common humanity) and self-coldness (self-judgement, isolation and over-identification) dimensions of self-compassion moderate …
Scottish Index of Multiple Deprivation (Simd) indicators as predictors of mortality among patients hospitalised with Covid-19 disease in the Lothian Region, Scotland during the first wave
SIMD as an aggregate measure of deprivation was not predictive of mortality in our cohort when other exposure measures were accounted for. However, we identified a two-fold increased risk of mortality in patients residing in areas with greater income-deprivation and/or number of hospitalisations due to alcohol. In areas where aggregate measures fail to capture pockets of deprivation, exploring the impact of specific SIMD indicators may be helpful…
Duty to Self
Duty to self has not been taken seriously by contemporary moral and political philosophers, with many even denying the coherence of the notion. Morality and politics concern treatment of others, according to common understanding, and so the very idea of a duty to oneself is thought to be mistaken. Against this, this book aims to vindicate the idea of duties owed by a person to herself, within both the moral and the political domains. Temporal div…
Can Duties to the Self Bind if They Are Waivable
It is often argued that, because she would always be in the position to waive it, a person cannot owe a duty to herself. In a recent AJP article, Janis David Schaab argues that a person can owe a duty to herself even if it can be waived, thus rendering unwarranted a scepticism about such duties, as well as efforts to show that they are unwaivable. Here I argue that, for all that Schaab says, waivability continues to threaten the very possibility …
Measuring recall of medical information in non‐English‐speaking people with cancer
BACKGROUND: Many patients who require an interpreter have difficulty remembering information from their medical consultations. Memory aids such as consultation audio-recordings may be of benefit to these patients. However, there is no established means of measuring patients' memory of medical information. OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to develop a method for eliciting and coding recall of medical information in non-English-speaking patients. DESIG…

Communication challenges experienced by migrants with cancer
OBJECTIVES: Understanding the difficulties faced by different migrant groups is vital to address disparities and inform targeted health-care service delivery. Migrant oncology patients experience increased morbidity, mortality and psychological distress, with this tentatively linked to language and communication difficulties. The objective of this exploratory study was to investigate the communication barriers and challenges experienced by Arabic…

Cancer patients' experiences with nature
Die Sieger and Die Wibelungen
Nineteenth-century German opera composer Richard Wagner was very knowledgeable about Buddhism and its teachings, at least for a European of that time, and he incorporated his knowledge of those teachings into his last five music dramas: The Ring of the Nibelung (a four-opera cycle) and his final opera, Parsifal . The Ring is traditionally performed separately from Parsifal , but this article explains how there is a basis to connect these five gre…
On the Existence of Duties to the Self (and Their Significance for Moral Philosophy)
Contemporary philosophers generally ignore the topic of duties to the self. I contend that they are mistaken to do so. The question of whether there are such duties, I argue, is of genuine significance when constructing theories of practical reasoning and moral psychology. In this essay, I show that much of the potential importance of duties to the self stems from what has been called the “second‐personal” character of moral duties—the fact that …

Youth Culture and Smoking
This article assesses four theoretical models proposed to predict future smoking. Young adults were surveyed at three six-month intervals, the first occurring three months after leaving school. Models 1 and 2 were versions of theory of triadic influence (TTI), which links a person's behavioural experience and cognitions to their future behaviour. Model 1 did not fit the data; the fit of model 2 was just adequate. Model 3 combined TTI and self-cat…
Instability in smoking patterns among school leavers in Victoria, Australia
There is considerable flux in smoking patterns among young adults after leaving school, suggesting an opportunity to intervene with smoking prevention programmes at this stage of development
Measuring support for tobacco control policy in selected areas of six countries
It is possible to develop appropriate and meaningful measurement tools for assessing support of tobacco control policies. Strong evidence was found for internal reliability and structural invariance of the SPI. The SPI may be a useful mechanism for monitoring ongoing policy initiatives, making cross-cultural comparisons, and evaluating population receptiveness to proposed policy approaches
Behavioural dynamics of a clinical trial of sunscreens for reducing solar keratoses in Victoria, Australia
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether the behaviour of participants based on perception of treatment group in a randomised trial contributed to clinical outcome. DESIGN: A double blind randomised controlled trial of the effect of daily application of SPF 17 broad spectrum sunscreen cream (or placebo) on solar keratoses. SETTING: A rural city in Victoria, Australia. Residents aged 40 years or over were invited by letter to attend for a skin cancer scree…
Do Doctors Stop Giving Quit-Smoking Advice When Other Programs are Reaching Their Patients
The authors attempted to determine if the self-reported practices of hospital doctors regarding smoking cessation advice to their patients, would be influenced by the introduction of a scheme in which smokers were routinely identified on admission to hospital and were subsequently mailed letters including cessation advice. The second objective was to assess the relative levels of cessation counselling among different categories of doctors. Five h…
