Clusters of adolescent physical activity tracker patterns and their associations with physical activity behaviors in Finland and Ireland:cross-sectional study (2020)

Ng, Kwok W.; Kokko, Sami; Tammelin, Tuija; Kallio, Jouni; Belton, Sarahjane; O'Brien, Wesley; Murphy, Marie; Powell, Cormac; Woods, Catherine B.

Abstract:

Background: Physical activity trackers (PATs) such as apps and wearable devices (eg, sports watches, heart rate monitors) are increasingly being used by young adolescents. Despite the potential of PATs to help monitor and improve moderate-to-vigorous physical activity (MVPA) behaviors, there is a lack of research that confirms an association between PAT ownership or use and physical activity behaviors at the population level. Objective: The purpose of this study was to examine the ownership and use of PATs in youth and their associations with physical activity behaviors, including daily MVPA, sports club membership, and active travel, in 2 nationally representative samples of young adolescent males and females in Finland and Ireland. Methods: Comparable data were gathered in the 2018 Finnish School-aged Physical Activity (F-SPA 2018, n=3311) and the 2018 Irish Children’s Sport Participation and Physical Activity (CSPPA 2018, n=4797) studies. A cluster analysis was perform...

Information transfer to out-of-hours co-operatives: a survey of general practitioners' views in relation to palliative patients. (2013)

Information transfer to out-of-hours co-operatives: a survey of general practitioners' views in relation to palliative patients. (2013)

Kiely, Fiona; Murphy, Marie; O'Brien, Tony

Abstract:

BACKGROUND: In Ireland, weekend and night medical cover for community based patients is largely provided by general practice co-operatives. Doctors working in this service do not have direct access to patients' medical records which challenges continuity of care. OBJECTIVES: This study investigates the opinion of general practitioners (GPs) on the potential value of a formalised method of information transfer regarding their palliative patients to out-of-hours GP co-operatives. The survey was designed to identify the information that is necessary to offer appropriate anticipated end-of-life care. METHODS: A questionnaire was sent to all 414 GPs registered in the Irish Medical Directory in the southwest of Ireland. Data were analysed with Microsoft Excel and SPSS V.12.0. RESULTS: 52% response rate with exclusion of incomplete questionnaires allowed analysis of 212 data sets. Currently, 82% of GPs do not routinely transfer information pertaining to end-of-life issues to the out-o...

Physical activity, ageing and health (2014)

Physical activity, ageing and health (2014)

Murtagh, Elaine; Murphy, Marie; Murphy, Niamh; Woods, Catherine; Lane, Aoife

Abstract:

Promoting physical activity has been identified as a key public health strategy to improve good health in advanced age. As the population in the Republic of Ireland (ROI) and Northern Ireland (NI) is ageing, it is important to understand the relationship between physical activity and the physical and mental well-being of older people. As part of its data mining programme, CARDI funded the Stay Active study, a research project led by Dr. Elaine Murtagh of Mary Immaculate College, University of Limerick (Murtagh et al., 2014). It examined the relationship between physical activity participation and health status in older adults in Ireland, North and South using five sources: u The Irish Longitudinal Study on Ageing (TILDA) 2011 u The Survey of Lifestyles, Attitudes and Nutrition in Ireland (SLAN) 2007 u The Irish Sports Monitor 2011 u Health Survey Northern Ireland (HSNI) 2010/11 u The Northern Ireland Sport and Physical Activity Survey 2009/10 This research brief presents a summary o...

Physical activity, sport and physical education in northern Ireland school children: A cross-sectional study (2020)

Abstract:

Internationally, insufficient physical activity (PA) is a major health concern. Children in Northern Ireland (NI) are recorded as having the lowest levels of PA in the United Kingdom (UK). To date, validated and representative data on the PA levels of NI school children are limited. The aim of this study was to provide surveillance data on self-reported PA, sport and physical education (PE) participation of school children in NI. Diﬀerences between genders and factors associated with PA were also examined. A representative sample of primary (n = 446) and post-primary (n = 1508) children was surveyed in school using validated self-report measures. Findings suggest that PA levels are low, with a minority of children (13%) meeting the PA guidelines (primary pupils 20%, post-primary pupils 11%). NI school children have lower levels of PA, PE and sports participation than UK and European peers. A trend of age-related decline across all the domains of PA was apparent. The data pres...

Place of care: from referral to specialist palliative care until death. (2014)

Abstract:

Background: While there are many poorly standardised studies focusing on place of death, there are limited data on place(s) of care during the final stages of disease. AIM: This study aims to identify where patients are cared for in the interval from referral to specialist palliative care until death. METHODS: All patients who died while under the care of a specialist palliative care service over a 6-month period were considered. RESULTS: Of the 507 patients included, 255 (50.3%) were men and 428 (84.4%) had a malignant diagnosis. The mean referral-to-death interval was 70 days (SD 113, Range 1-838). The majority (n=281, 55.4%) received care in a single care setting-hospital (28.4%), home (21.5%), nursing home/community hospital (4.1%), hospice (1.4%)-and had a shorter mean referral-to-death interval. Most patients with more than one care setting spent three-quarters of their time in their normal place of residence. A total of 199 (39.3%) died in hospital, 131 (25.8%) in hospice, 13...

Practice educators' perceptions of interprofessional education and issues surrounding its implementation in the clinical placement setting (2011)

Murphy, Marie

Abstract:

Background: IPE occurs when two or more professions learn with, from and about each other to improve collaboration and care (CAIPE 2002) It is being increasingly considered as part of undergraduate health professional training (Hammick et al 2007). Much of the existing literature centres on IPE post-registration, in academic settings and on students' perceptions of IPE. To date, there has not been a study on Irish practice educators' perceptions of IPE. Objectives: To investigate practice educators' views in regards to implementing IPE in a placement setting and discover what they perceive to be barriers and facilitators to its implementation. Methods: Four focus groups were conducted including sixteen practice educators from physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech and language therapy working in various settings. Groups were audio recorded and transcribed verbatim. Data was coded and a thematic analysis performed (Krueger and Casey 2000). Findings: Three main ...
