Nursing and physiotherapy students’ engagement in an online physical activity promotion education programme: A mixed methods pilot study (2022)
Presentation / Conference
Forrest, B., Neubeck, L., Dawkes, S., Pitkethly, A., & Hanson, C. (2022, October). Nursing and physiotherapy students’ engagement in an online physical activity promotion education programme: A mixed methods pilot study. Poster presented at NETNEP 2022: 8th International Nurse Education Conference, Sitges, Spain

Introduction: Regular physical activity (PA) reduces the risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some cancers (Lee et al., 2012), but worldwide 25% of adults do not meet global recommendations for PA (World Health Organisation, 2018). Nurses and... Read More about Nursing and physiotherapy students’ engagement in an online physical activity promotion education programme: A mixed methods pilot study.

Gender differences in uptake, adherence and experiences: a longitudinal, mixed methods study of a physical activity referral scheme in Scotland, UK (2021)
Journal Article
Hanson, C. L., Neubeck, L., Kyle, R. G., Brown, N., Gallagher, R., Clark, R. A., …Dawkes, S. (2021). Gender differences in uptake, adherence and experiences: a longitudinal, mixed methods study of a physical activity referral scheme in Scotland, UK. Int

Physical activity referral schemes (PARS) are implemented internationally to increase physical activity (PA) but evidence of effectiveness for population subgroups is equivocal. We examined gender differences for a Scottish PARS. This mixed-method, c...
