Aim This research aimed to use a consensus process to develop a framework and definition for nutrition and dietetic research, and to identify dietetic research priorities for Australia for the period 2020 to 2030. Methods A three‐round Delphi process was selected to enable dietitians with demonstrated research expertise to contribute to the national priority development. All Fellows of the Dietitians Association of Australia, Advanced Accredited Practising Dietitians and research leaders were invited to participate (n = 84). The questionnaire was distributed electronically using a 7‐point Likert scale. Rounds 1 and 2 asked participants to comment on the proposed research framework, …

Introduction Clinical research is vital in the discovery of new medical knowledge and reducing disease risk in humans. In clinical research poor data quality is one of the major problems, affecting data integrity and the generalisability of the research findings. To achieve high quality data, guidance needs to be provided to clinical studies on the collection, processing and handling of data. However, clinical trials are implementing ad hoc, pragmatic approaches to ensure data quality. This study aims to explore the procedures for ensuring data quality in Australian clinical research studies. Material and methods We conducted a national cross-sectional, mixed-mode multi-contact …
Research In A Time Of Crisis: Keeping My Phd On Track, Catherine Stephen
Research In A Time Of Crisis: Keeping My Phd On Track, Catherine Stephen
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: Part B
Students enrol in a PhD with a certain perception of the rigorous nature of this scholarly challenge. Those entering with previous Research training (Honours, Masters) experience have an inkling of the cerebral, financial and emotional challenges ahead. However, prior to now, few would predict or be prepared for the climate disasters and global pandemic that I have faced during my candidature. This reflection tells the story of my experiences with these unforeseen events and offers some insight into the strategies that have enabled me to remain engaged and continue on the Doctoral journey.
A Theoretical Review Of Psychological Resilience: Defining Resilience And Resilience Research Over The Decades, Shae-Leigh C. Vella, Nagesh B. Pai
A Theoretical Review Of Psychological Resilience: Defining Resilience And Resilience Research Over The Decades, Shae-Leigh C. Vella, Nagesh B. Pai
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: Part B
Recent times have seen a shift in interest from a focus upon the deficits of individuals to a focus upon individual's strengths. Resilience is a positive psychology construct that has been investigated for decades, prior to this paradigm shift. This article reviews definitions of resilience over time. Although there is no single agreed definition; resilience is commonly described as the ability to bounce back. The risk of stress and negative life events in triggering mental illness has long been recognized. Similarly, the positive outcomes of some individuals to highly adverse situations have also been of interest for a long time. …
Strategies For Using Non-Participatory Video Research Methods In General Practice, Sharon James, Jane L. Desborough, Susan Mcinnes, Elizabeth J. Halcomb
Strategies For Using Non-Participatory Video Research Methods In General Practice, Sharon James, Jane L. Desborough, Susan Mcinnes, Elizabeth J. Halcomb

Background Non-participatory video research is useful for observing and analysing interactions between clinicians, patients and technology. However, few clinical nursing studies have used non-participatory video observation and there is limited literature describing the approach. Aim To describe a study that used non-participatory video observation in general practice. Discussion The authors' experience of non-participatory video research methods indicates that the acceptability of the technique, workplace organisation and consultation space have implications for preparation and data collection. Strategies for success include engaging stakeholders early on, obtaining contextual knowledge and piloting the approach. Conclusion Non-participatory video observation is valuable in understanding interactions between …
Observational Research In Work-Integrated Learning, Bonnie Amelia Dean
Observational Research In Work-Integrated Learning, Bonnie Amelia Dean
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: Part B
Observational research has a long history in many disciplines, such as education and organizational studies, yet has had slow uptake in the scholarship of work-integrated learning (WIL). Observational research enables the researcher to journey inside workplace or community sites where actions and conversations unfold, to unpack the complexities of work, learning and practice. This paper looks at observational methodologies and their use in WIL research, highlighting practical methods for accessing and generating data, and discussing criteria for judging the quality of observational research. It introduces WIL researchers to alternative methods to elicit data, to consider making their bodies, thoughts and …

Community Bushfire Safety: A Review Of Post-Black Saturday Research, Joshua Whittaker, John Handmer
Community Bushfire Safety: A Review Of Post-Black Saturday Research, Joshua Whittaker, John Handmer
Faculty of Science, Medicine and Health - Papers: Part B
Following the 'Black Saturday' bushfires of 7 February 2009, a number of research reports on community bushfire safety were presented to the Victorian Bushfires Royal Commission. These include reports from the CFA, OESC, Bushfire CRC and Department of Justice. These reports have different research aims and employ a range of methods and samples. Some reports investigate community safety issues during the Black Saturday bushfires, while others examine preparedness and intentions for future fires. This paper reviews these reports to identify common findings, inconsistencies and gaps relating to community safety during bushfires, and discusses the implications of methodological differences for research …
