Over Time

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the level of physical preparation for bushfire among Victorian residents in established high risk bushfire locations, and to assess whether these levels of preparation changed over time. Design/methodology/approach Data were analysed from a telephone survey among Victorian residents (n=614-629) living in high risk bushfire locations over a three-year period (2012-2014). The survey measured residents’ bushfire awareness, knowledge, planning, preparation and engagement with bushfire services. This paper focusses on the extent to which respondents undertook physical preparatory bushfire activities over the three-year period using: first, principal components analysis to generate a single preparation variable by identifying a smaller number of uncorrelated variables (or principal components) from a larger set of data, second, analysis of variance to assess differences in preparation scores between years, and third, Tukey’s honest significant difference test to confirm where the differences occurred between groups. Findings Results indicated only moderate levels of physical preparation for bushfires amongst respondents. The activities that respondents rated the lowest were: “having protective covers for windows” and “having firefighting equipment to protect the house”. A significant difference in total preparation scores over time was observed, F(2, 1,715)=6.159, p<0.005, with lower scores in 2012 compared with 2013 and 2014 scores. Social implications This study found some marginal improvements in levels of physical bushfire preparation from 2012 to 2014. However, the results indicate only moderate levels of preparation overall, despite respondents living in established high risk locations. Originality/value This study provides evidence for the current levels of preparedness in high risk bushfire communities, and emphasises the need for future initiatives to focus on specific bushfire preparation activities but also to consider the broader range of interventions that are likely to contribute to desired safety outcomes.

Background Point-of-care-testing (POCT) of haemoglobin Alc (HbA1c) is popular due to its fast turnaround of results in the outpatient setting. The aim of this project was to evaluate the performance of a new HbA1c POCT analyser, the Bio-Rad in2it, and compare it with the Siemens DCA 2000, Bio-Rad Variant II and Roche Tina-quant HbA1c Gen 2 assay on the cobas c501. Methods Imprecision of the four methods were compared by computing total imprecision from within-run and between-run data. A total of 80 samples were also compared and analysed by Deming regression and Altman–Bland difference test. Results Study of total imprecision of the in2it at HBA1c levels of 6.0% and 10.4% produced a coefficient of variation (%CV) of 3.8% and 3.7%, respectively. These results were more favourable as compared with the DCA 2000 but did not match the low imprecision of the central laboratory methods, the Bio-Rad Variant II and the Roche cobas c501. Comparison between the in2it and the central laboratory analysers, Bio-Rad variant II and cobas c501, revealed positive bias of 12% and 10%, respectively, supported by corresponding Deming regression equation slopes of +1.18 and +1.14. Comparison between the DCA 2000 and the central laboratory analysers revealed a bias that became increasingly positive with rising HbA1c concentrations with Deming regression analysis also revealing proportional and constant differences. Conclusions The in2it is a suitable POCT analyser for HbA1c but its less than ideal precision performance and differences with the central laboratory analysers must be communicated to and noted by the users.

PURPOSE: To evaluate whether an inappropriate attitude towards a person having an epileptic seizure contributes to the stigma found in society and whether an appropriate attitude helps to diminish it in the short term; to perform a long term investigation about information remembered and stigma perception after an educational lecture. METHOD: This study was performed in two steps: Step 1. Students of first year of high school of two schools in Campinas completed a questionnaire including the Stigma Scale of Epilepsy following a seizure demonstration. They were divided into three groups: a) one group had a demonstration of proper attitudes towards someone having an epileptic seizure; b) one group was shown incorrect procedures; c) control group. After the completion of the questionnaire, an educational lecture about epilepsy was given. Step 2: six months later, the questionnaire was re-administered. RESULTS: The comparison between the four groups (step 1 and step 2) show a significant difference (Anova (3,339)=2.77; p=0.042). Pairwise comparison using Fisher's Least-Significant-Difference Test showed a significant difference between the group shown incorrect procedures (step 1) versus step 2, and the control group (step 1) versus step 2, but no difference between the group shown correct procedures (step 1) versus step 2. DISCUSSION: Exhibiting proper attitudes towards a person experiencing an epileptic seizure may cause significant differences among the subjects’ degrees of stigma towards people with epilepsy. It is therefore fundamental that there should be de-stigmatization campaigns provided, to correct information and provide appropriate education.
