For people living with dementia, participatory community-based art activities have the potential to enhance the dignity of the individual, reaffirm a sense of identity, and provide social engagement. To identify opportunities to enhance the inclusion of people living with dementia in participatory community-based arts activities, this study sought...
Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had widespread impacts on the community and has demanded a rapid response from the aged care sector. System changes for infection control have been required including the use of personal protective equipment, lockdowns, visitor restrictions and changes to activities within aged care facilities. Even prior to CO...
Issue addressed:
Encouraging people to adopt life-long habits that reduce dementia risk is necessary to manage the growing global prevalence of this condition and is, therefore, a global health priority. Current initiatives promoting risk-reducing behaviour primarily attract participants from a limited range of backgrounds, even if widely availabl...
To ensure the well-being, quality of life and quality of care of people living with dementia, carers need to have the necessary communication knowledge and skills to respond appropriately to a person’s changing abilities and needs. Understanding carers’ communication experiences and needs in the context of dementia care is an important step in enab...
Social participation is one of the eight age-friendly priorities identified by the World Health Organisation. Participatory arts programmes offer an opportunity for people living with dementia to remain engaged and active within their local communities. Given that participation is dependent on the knowledge that the activity exists, this study expl...
Background:
Modifiable risk factors for dementia account for 40% of cases worldwide and exert impacts on risk across the life course. To have maximal public health impact, dementia risk-reduction initiatives need to reach a large and diverse audience, including people from a wide range of ages and socioeconomic backgrounds. Currently, dementia ris...
Objectives: The Consumer Access, Appraisal, and Application of Services and Information for Dementia (CAAASI-Dem) was developed to examine individuals' self-assessed confidence in their ability to access, appraise and use dementia services and information. The CAAASI-Dem is the only tool to date to measure this crucial component of dementia literac...
Introduction
The demand for cancer services is growing due to increased incidence and the number of people who survive their initial diagnosis but require ongoing therapy. One method of increasing capacity in radiation oncology is to delegate tasks from one professional group to another. In the last ten years there has been increasing interest in a...
Although the interests in participative arts for people living with a dementia has increased over the last decade, what is yet to be reviewed is how participatory community- based arts activities for this group of people are evaluated. The overall aim of the following scoping review is to understand the scope of measurement/evaluation methods/appro...
Objective
To evaluate the dementia knowledge of allied health professionals and identify their specific learning needs.
Methods
An online survey was conducted with allied health professionals enrolled in the Understanding Dementia Massive Open Online Course, a free course open to anyone, worldwide. The primary outcome measure was the Dementia Kn...
Background
The ability to locate, navigate and use dementia services and information, either for oneself or in providing care for others, is an essential component of dementia literacy. Despite dementia literacy being understood to be inadequate in many settings, no validated instrument exists to measure these elements. Here we describe the develop...
The development of dementia-friendly communities underpins inclusion and enablement of individuals to live well with dementia in communities for as long as possible. A number of strategies are being developed that present communities with models of “how to” become dementia-friendly. Communities are unique, with varying demographics, strengths, and...
The purpose of this scoping review is to examine the literature regarding the development, implementation, scope and extent of Advanced Practice Radiation Therapist (APRT) roles in Australia in peer reviewed journals, government reports, conference proceedings and reports. A search was undertaken of PubMed, Web of Science and CINAHL, the ASMIRT web...
Chronic respiratory conditions are poorly managed in residential aged care settings. As part of the Respiratory Care Redesign research stream, our team (respiratory physician, aged care specialist, psychologist and health services researchers) has demonstrated that chronic respiratory conditions are incorrectly diagnosed in 78% of cases, severity i...

Background
The reasons why deferral from blood donation reduces the likelihood of future return remain unclear. This aim of this study was to investigate possible reasons why deferral has such a dramatic impact on donation patterns.
Methods
Qualitative methods were used to explore donors’ motivations to give blood, their experiences of temporary d...
This chapter aims to offer an overview and working definition of translational research, appropriate to health. Using scholarly and applied literature, it first identifies key challenges in achieving evidence-based policy and practice. It highlights international policy interest in new approaches to evidence translation and the barriers to achievin...
This study investigated the effects of a 6-month deferral due to low hemoglobin (Hb) on the subsequent donation patterns of Australian whole blood donors.
The study was a retrospective cohort study of the donation patterns of all whole blood donors deferred for low Hb during a 2-month period compared with donors who were not deferred. Donations 3 y...
Cytomegalovirus (CMV) antibody donor screening assays have predominantly included both immunoglobulin G (IgG) and immunoglobulin M (IgM) detection. However, since in the majority of cases both CMV IgG and IgM are detected concomitantly during early seroconversion, CMV assays based only on IgG are now widely applied for donor screening.
The performa...
Aim ARCBS collection sites are located in capital city centres, regional and metropolitan static sites and mobile units. The project aimed to establish a ‘donor-centric’ collection facility that met evolving donor needs.
Methods & Result Due to Adelaide’s high level of urbanisation combined with; (a) the eastern based skew of the existing Pirie Str...
Investigations of the cytotoxic activity of T cells induced following one or two intraperitoneal doses of live Salmonella revealed that cytotoxicity was restricted to the Lyt-2+ T-cell subset and was enhanced following secondary infection with Salmonella. Initial studies using the lectin-dependent cellular cytotoxicity (LDCC) assay detected Lyt-2+...
Intraperitoneal injection of (BALB/c x C57BL/6) F1 mice with live, but not killed Salmonella enteritidis 11RX (11RX) induced T cells in the spleen and peritoneal cavity which were able to proliferate in vitro in response to two different forms of 11RX antigens. The majority of cells which proliferated were L3T4+ T cells and most of the response was...
