Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to analyse early findings from telemonitoring data for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients, residing in Wollondilly Shire, New South Wales, Australia. The Shire has 19 small scattered and isolated rural communities, which experience undersupply of healthcare providers. Findings are to be used for further research to support wider implementation of telemonitoring by general practitioners (GPs). Design/methodology/approach Local patients with multiple chronic obstructive pulmonary disease hospital admissions were allocated home telemonitoring equipment, entering readings according to their GP management plan. Demographic, biometric and self-assessment readings were retrospectively collected, from July 2015 to April 2016. Findings Data for 18 patients aged 44-87, with equal gender representation was analysed. There was a total of 24,545 data points from 2,932 readings. Over half showed high clinical risk; 93 occasions required GP escalation, 23 per cent for respiratory conditions, in 14 patients. Nine were hospitalised, 51 per cent for respiratory conditions. Practical implications Home telemonitoring of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease was found to be a promising patient management approach, providing accurate, reliable health indicators. Its use empowered patients to improve symptom control and health outcomes. Originality/value Experience in Australian general practice with telemonitoring is limited. High protocol compliance occurred, risk indicators were obtained and the value of home telemonitoring was confirmed.

Abstract:
Significant gaps remain between recommendations of evidence-based guidelines and primary health care practice in Australia. This paper aims to evaluate factors associated with the use of guidelines reported by Australian GPs. Secondary analysis was performed on a survey of primary care practitioners which was conducted by the Commonwealth Fund in 2009: 1016 general practitioners responded in Australia (response rate 52%). Two-thirds of Australian GPs reported that they routinely used evidence-based treatment guidelines for the management of four conditions: diabetes, depression, asthma or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and hypertension – a higher proportion than in most other countries. Having non-medical staff educating patients about self-management, and a system of GP reminders to provide patients with test results or guideline-based intervention or screening tests, were associated with a higher probability of guidelines use. Older GP age was associated with lower probability of guideline usage. The negative association with age of the doctor may reflect a tendency to rely on experience rather than evidence-based guidelines. The association with greater use of reminders and self-management is consistent with the chronic illness model.

Abstract:
This article deals with the proposed high-profile Australia-China Free Trade Agreement (FTA). It recognizes their economic complementarities for an FTA. However, their negotiations reveal many competing interests, militating against an FTA. If political enthusiasm succeeds in concluding this FTA, it is likely to fall short of delivering the projected economic benefits. This FTA will possibly be an inward looking discriminatory trading arrangement with exclusive preference to each other in selective sectors and protection against non-members, inconsistent with Article XXIV of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT). Such protectionist obsessions have become an obstructive alternative to multilateral nondiscriminatory trade rendering it more onerous and less viable. Concluding such an FTA, at a time when World Trade Organization (WTO) Panels and Appellate Body (AB) are increasingly dealing with FTA disputes, may result in a legal challenge. The booming Australian and Chinese export sectors need open global markets to maximize their full trade potentials, which can be achieved through the completion of the Doha Round.

Abstract:
Paramedics face many challenges while on duty, one of which is working different types of shifts. Shift work has been linked to a number of health issues such as insomnia, depression, and anxiety. Besides shift work, Saudi paramedics, a group that has not been investigated for sleep or mental health issues previously, may be facing more demands than Australian paramedics due to lower numbers of paramedics in comparison to the general population. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of sleep and mental health disorders among paramedics in Saudi Arabia and Australia. Paramedics were invited to complete a survey to assess stress, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, anxiety, daytime sleepiness, insomnia, sleep quality, shift work disorder, obstructive sleep apnoea, fatigue, and general health. A total of 104 males Saudi paramedics (M age = 32.5 ± 6.1 years) and 83 males paramedics from Australia (M age = 44.1 ± 12.1 years) responded to the survey. Significantly higher rates of depression, PTSD, insomnia, and fatigue, along with significantly poorer physical functioning were observed among Saudi paramedics in comparison with Australian paramedics. However, Australian paramedics reported significantly poorer sleep quality and general health in comparison to Saudi paramedics. After removing the effect of driving and working durations, outcomes were no longer significant. The higher burden of depression and PTSD among Saudi paramedics may be explained by longer hours spent driving and longer work durations reported by this group. Taking into consideration the outcomes reported in this study, more investigations are needed to study their possible effects on paramedics’ cognition, performance, and safety.

Abstract:
This study aimed to investigate the prevalence and trajectories of chronic diseases and risk behaviors in immigrants from high-income countries (HIC), low–middle-income countries (LMIC), to Australian-born people. Data were used from five waves of the HABITAT (2007–2016) study—11,035 adults living in Brisbane, Australia. Chronic diseases included cancer, diabetes mellitus, coronary heart disease, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Risk factors assessed were body mass index (BMI), insufficient physical activity, and cigarette smoking. Diabetes mellitus increased in all groups, with the highest increase of 33% in LMIC immigrants. The prevalence of cancers increased 19.6% in the Australian-born, 16.6% in HIC immigrants, and 5.1% in LMIC immigrants. The prevalence of asthma increased in HIC immigrants while decreased in the other two groups. Poisson regression showed that LMIC immigrants had 1.12 times higher rates of insufficient physical activity, 0.75 times lower rates of smoking, and 0.77 times lower rates of being overweight than the Australian-born population. HIC immigrants had 0.96 times lower rates of insufficient physical activity and 0.93 times lower rates of overweight than Australian-born. The findings of this study can inform better strategies to reduce health disparities by targeting high-risk cohorts.

Abstract:
Anxiety and depression are common comorbidities in people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), contributing to greater morbidity and mortality in an already vulnerable population. Despite the prevalence, few recommendations exist in global management guidelines for the detection and treatment of these comorbidities, reflecting the limited literature available on effective strategies for dealing with mental health issues in COPD populations. There is promising evidence that cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) improves mental health outcomes in people with COPD. However, investigational studies have commonly reported participants’ lack of transport, lack of time and illness as barriers to recruitment and successful completion. This thesis was undertaken in response to a need identified in the literature for an alternative modality of CBT delivery for people with COPD suffering from psychological symptomatology. Thus, a novel home-based self-management CBT learning resource in a DVD format was developed with an accompanying manual. To investigate the primary aim of this thesis, a randomised controlled trial called the ‘Breathing New Life’ study was conducted to determine the efficacy of CBT to treat anxiety and depression in people living with COPD via two formats: group therapy with a reduced number of sessions or this novel home-based self-management DVD resource, compared to usual care. The secondary aim was to investigate the efficacy of these interventions on improvement in health-related quality of life (HRQoL). This thesis is presented as a series of papers (i.e. PhD with publication) from data collected from the Breathing New Life study (ACTRN12616001039471). Study One investigates the risk factors associated with concomitant anxiety and depression and found younger age and having no previous psychological medical history were risk factors for psychological symptomatology compared to those without psychological symptomatology. Study Two investigates the most suitable screening tool for detecting clinically significant anxiety and depression in COPD populations and found simple modifications to the commonly used Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) improved optimal sensitivity and specificity, whilst the Beck Inventories had acceptable sensitivity and specificity without any modifications. Study Three reports the results from the randomised controlled trial investigating the efficacy of CBT delivered in the two different formats. No significant differences over time between those receiving CBT and usual care for anxiety, depression or HRQoL were found in this COPD cohort. However, opinions of benefit expressed in Study Four—a qualitative investigation into the facilitators and barriers COPD participants face when enrolling and completing CBT—provide support that this population find CBT useful, despite being unable to detect any measureable difference. Globally, this thesis adds new knowledge to the body of literature supporting the importance of early screening and treatment for psychological symptomology in people living with COPD. Despite the inability of CBT to improve anxiety and depression, findings from this thesis have important implications towards industry discussion surrounding routine screening for concomitant anxiety and depression, the continued use of the HADS and Beck Inventories as appropriate screening tools in COPD populations and how best to engage and retain COPD participants in CBT.

Abstract:
This thesis investigates how postcolonial pressures on the Arab-Australian Muslim identity have led to the presentation of a too-unified front in Arab-Australian storytelling. By interviewing Egyptian Muslim women living in Brisbane, and as one myself, I identify what I call intersubjective obstructions, which provide opportunities for autoethnographic interrogation. I examine how Yassmin Abdel-Magied, through her memoir Yassmin’s Story, renders a Brisbane-based Arab-Australian Muslim hybrid identity. I find that post-colonial pressures can force the creation of the Good Muslim Hero narrative. Through my creative practice, I discover how I may resist or respond to those pressures in my memoir, Muddy People.

Abstract:
Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is one of the most common sleep disorders. It is characterized by repetitive obstruction of the upper airways during sleep. The frequency of such events can range up to hundreds of events per sleep-hour. Full closure of the airways is termed apnea, and a partial closure is known as hypopnea. The number of apnea/hypopnea events per hour is known as the AHI-index, and is used by clinical community as a measure of the severity of OSA. OSA, when untreated, presents as a major public health concern throughout the world. OSA patients use health facilities at twice the average rate (Delaive, Roos, Manfreda, & Kryger, 1998), causing huge pressures on national healthcare systems. OSA is associated with serious complications such as cardiovascular disease, stroke, (Barber & Quan, 2002; Kryger, 2000,), and sexual impotence. It also causes cognitive deficiencies, low IQ in children, fatigue, and accidents. Australian Sleep Association reported (ASA, 1999) that in the state of New South Wales alone 11,000–43,000 traffic accidents per year were attributable to untreated-OSA.

Abstract:
The implementation of an enterprise wide system has far reaching effects on an organization. The distribution of power is one aspect that is often disturbed. End users who perceive a loss of power may use political behavior to resist and obstruct the implementation. A case study of the implementation of PeopleSoft at an Australian university is used to explore resistance and obstructive behavior and explain these by looking at the implications of the system design for the organizational power balance. The authors believe that more understanding of the role of power and politics during an enterprise wide system implementation will enable teams to avoid user reactions that can threaten the success of the project.
