| Abstract: |
| Smoking is the single most preventable cause of death in our society. In Hong Kong, about 6000 deaths in 1998 were attributable to smoking (1). Heart disease is one of the most common smoking related causes of death in high-income countries (2). Smoking is an addictive behavior and quitting is difficult and slow. According to Prochaska & Goldstein (1991)(3), the process of smoking cessation involves progression through five stages of change (Transtheoretial Model of Change): pre-contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and maintenance. Previous evidence indicated that stage-matched intervention seems to be promising (4-7), however, its effectiveness in Chinese cardiac patients is yet to be investigated. The Principal Investigator (PI) of this application was funded by the Research Grants Council (RGC) 2002-03, grant number #HKU7224/01M to undertake a project to train nurse smoking cessation counselors and to carry out a multi-site randomized controlled trial (RCT) of a nurse delivered stage-matched smoking cessation intervention to promote heart health of cardiac patients in 10 hospitals in Hong Kong (Appendix 1). The study aims to: 1. study the baseline of cardiac patients regarding: (a) current and previous smoking status,, (b) quitting history, (c) knowledge and attitudes towards smoking, (d) willingness to quit, (e) motivation to quit, (f) stage of readiness to quit, (g) stress level, (h) self-efficacy, and (i) nicotine dependence; 2. study the effectiveness of the stage-matched intervention provided by nurses in motivating Chinese cardiac patients to: (a) quit smoking, (b) reduce the amount of cigarettes smoked, and (c) progress to a higher stage of readiness in quitting; 3. analyze the other predictive factors for the success of the outcomes. Preliminary results from the RCT showed that the 6-month quit rate among the intervention group was significantly higher than the control group (19.7% vs. 13.3%; p<0.01) (Appendix 2). Interventions for smoking cessation are consistently among the most cost-effective interventions in heart disease (8). However, the reported cost-effectiveness ratios from other studies should be interpreted very carefully, because the transfer of results from economic studies between countries is difficult (9). Hence, the objectives of this project are: (a) to estimate the cost-effectiveness of a stage-matched intervention provided by nurses in helping Chinese cardiac patients to quit smoking; (b) to evaluate health service utilization among cardiac patients with different smoking cessation intervention offered.

| Abstract: |
| Purpose of the proposed project: 1. To assess the performance of the mixed effects model and generalized estimating equations with and without using multiple imputation in estimating treatment effects on a continuous outcome at different time epochs. 2. To determine whether multiple imputation adds advantage to the use of mixed effects model or generalized estimating equations. Key issues and problems: 1. Missing values are frequent in clinical trials when study subjects are measured longitudinally due to many reasons, including dropouts, non-compliance, and adverse events. Common methods of longitudinal data analysis that are consistent to the intention-to-treat principle are the mixed effects model (MEM) and the generalized estimating equation (GEE) (Goldstein et al., 2002; Chan et al., 2005; Edwards, 2000; Wagner et al., 2005; Dahmen & Ziegler, 2004). Alternatively, multiple imputation (MI) emerged as a method to facilitate the use of methods that do not accommodate missing values. There has recently been an interest in examining the use of imputation methods on MEM and GEE. Several studies examined the use of GEE with and without MI on real datasets. However, it is still unclear about the performance of using MI together with MEM or GEE in a clinical trial setting when the objective is to determine the treatment effect at specific time epochs. 2. According to Rubin (1976), missing value mechanism can be classified as missing completely at random (MCAR) when the probability of having a missing value does not depend on the observed values nor the missing values had they were observed, missing at random (MAR) when the probability depends on the observed values only, and missing not at random (MNAR) when the probability depends on the missing values had they were observed. There has been no report of simulation results on the performance of using MI on MEM and GEE when missing values are missing not at random. References: 1. Rubin D. Inference and Missing Data.

| Abstract: |
| The purposes of this study are: 1) to describe the meaning of the symptom experience among patients with breast cancer during the course of chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy; and 2) to examine the impact of the symptom experience of fatigue, pain and psychological distress on the quality of life in patients with breast cancer during the course of chemotherapy and / or radiotherapy. Research problem Breast cancer is the most common cancer in the female population in Hong Kong. (Cancer Registry, 2002) In general, patients who are diagnosed with breast cancer are advised to receive cancer treatment to inhibit / eliminate the growth of cancer cell. However, cancer or cancer treatment-related symptoms are often the most distressful experience for the cancer patients during and after the treatment. Increased demand of needs from this group of patients draws much concern from health professionals to provide better quality of care to these patients. Fatigue, pain and psychological distress are the most prevalence symptoms experienced by patients with cancer (National Institutes of Health State-of-the-Science Panel, 2004). These symptoms are also commonly reported by patients with breast cancer (deJong, Courtens, Abu-Saad, Schouten, 2002; Miaskowski & Dibble, 1995; Schain, d’Angelo, Dunn, Lichter, Pierce, 1994). In fact, patients with cancer often experience multiple symptoms concurrently. However, the majority of clinical studies focused on the experience of a single symptom (Baider et al., 2003; Schulz, 2001; Woo, Dibble, Piper, Keating & Weiss, 1998). Although this approach has advanced the understanding of some symptoms, it may not be helpful to health care professionals in guiding practice when the patient has several concurrent symptoms that are related to one another. |

| Abstract: |
| Increasingly, mature adults are returning to post-secondary institutions to pursue part-time undergraduate and post-graduate degree programs. These students usually hold full-time or part-time employmemt while they complete their study and often also have spouses and children. Because of the multiple demands on their time, they are often unable to devote as much time as they would like to their studies. This in turn can influence academic performance. Furthermore, students in part-time programs often feel that course faculty do not recognize the competing demands on their time and that the workload of such programs is too heavy. Course teachers often feel that part-time students have an unrealistically low expectation about the requirement of part-time study. |

| Abstract: |
| Undergraduate nursing enrolment is increasing in Hong Kong and is set to increase even more over the next years. Formerly, nursing assessments could use a wide range of assessment instruments to support the curricular goals of bacalaureate programmes. In the future this is unlikely to be so and already now assessment strategies are being considered for coping with the challenge of increasing student numbers. Notwithstanding this development , it is expected that a variety of instruments will still be used, but there will be a greater reliance on machine marked tests. This has been the norm in medicine for many years. Indeed medical schools have gone together to share question banks. |
| Project Title: | Impact of Breastfeeding on Hospitalizations from Infectious Diseases in Hong Kong Chinese Children up to Eight Years of Age |

| Abstract: |
| Infectious disease is one of the leading causes of morbidity and hospitalization in Hong Kong children over one year of age(1). In children up to eight years of age, the cumulative incidence of ever-hospitalization from infectious disease is 43.4%(2). During infancy, breastfeeding protects against infectious disease (3-5), primarily in the prevention of respiratory infections(3, 6-9), gastrointestinal (GI) infections(10-13), and otitis media(9, 12, 14) (OM). Breastfeeding is also associated with long-term developmental benefits in several areas, such as cardiovascular risk factors(15), intellectual capacity(16, 17), and allergy(9, 18-20). Moreover, breastfeeding is thought to provide long-term protection against infections, due to milk-mediated influences that produce a ”healthier” immune system(21). Furthermore, nutritional deficiencies at key periods in infancy can result in permanent changes in later physiological functioning(22). However, relatively little research has examined the impact of breastfeeding on infectious disease in older children, particularly in an East Asian context, where there are different patterns of some common infectious diseases, such as influenza(23). Among the available literature, breastfeeding has been found to protect against OM in children until three years of age(24-27), and protect against Haemophilus influenzae type b (Hib) infection up to 10 years of age(28, 29). The effect of breastfeeding in reducing wheezing and allergic disease during childhood is thought to be largely the result of prevention of symptom-inducing infections rather than preventing asthma(30) , which is consistent with some studies finding breast-feeding protective against childhood respiratory infections(33) (34) . There are mixed findings on whether the protective effect of breastfeeding against diarrhoeal diseases lasts beyond infancy(10, 31, 32). The majority of these studies, however, had methodological limitations including: a retrospective design(10, 26, 28, 29, 31-33); failure to adjust adequately for known confounders(29, 34); and failure to stratify children by age group to differentiate the effects of breastfeeding on infants from older children (31-33). In Hong Kong, breastfeeding has been shown to reduce both outpatient and inpatient treatment for respiratory, GI, and febrile illnesses up to 18 months of age(7). Breastfeeding, however, is associated with an overall higher hospitalization rate as a result of increased hospitalizations for jaundice in breastfed infants(7). It is hypothesized that this is a result of different metabolism of bilirubin in East Asian infants that makes them more prone to developing jaundice(35, 36). This finding was unexpected and so far unique to this population. Therefore, in older Hong Kong children it also is less clear whether breastfeeding would confer protection. A well-designed prospective study is essential in order to confirm or refute observations(37) seen in older children in other populations, with potentially different patterns of vulnerability and infectious disease. The Chinese population of Hong Kong is an excellent social laboratory in which to investigate the effect of breastfeeding on infectious-disease related hospitalizations throughout childhood because the required data is easily accessible and available as a result of an existing large cohort study of Hong Kong children, first funded by the HSRC in 1997. There are also high rates of child hospital admissions associated with some infectious diseases, such as influenza in Hong Kong(23). Furthermore, there is a relatively stable population, which permits long term follow-up and the impact of potential confounders is minimized in the population because of low maternal smoking rates(38) and small family size(39). The basis for this study, a well-established birth cohort study, has already found a wide-range of environmental impacts on health in early life(7, 38, 40-46). Extending this birth cohort to look at longitudinal effects of early infant feeding on infectious disease hospitalizations in childhood is a logical and important step in expanding the knowledge base of the impact early life factors have on later child health outcomes. Objectives: •To test the hypothesis that breastfeeding protects against subsequent hospital admission for all infectious diseases and respiratory and gastrointestinal infections in children between birth and eight years of age; •To test the hypothesis that the protective effect of breastfeeding is dose specific and therefore, will be stronger with increasing duration of exclusive breastfeeding; •To test the hypothesis that breastfeeding will inversely impact disease severity (as measured by length of stay and total bed-days consumed). |

| Abstract: |
| Intimate partner violence is a public helth problem with abused women reporting poor health status, poor quality of life, and higher use of health services. Effective empowerment intervention may facilitate the adoption of health promotion behaviors and early detection of health problems, thus leading to a reduction of health care costs. |

| Abstract: |
| The 21st century, with its global social, economic, educational, environemntal and health challenges, demands not the teaching of soon to be obsolete facts but the fostering of critical thinking at all levels of education. Those charged with the responsibility of providing professional education have responded to the changing needs by initiating curricular reform to promote critical thinking development, for example, the General Medical Council of the United Kingdom (1), the National League for Nurisng of the United States of America (2), and the Council of Europe (3). Such an endeavour is not only confined to professional education. In a recent review of education system in the Hong Kong SAR, the Education Commission (4) states that the overall aims of education for the 21st century should be "to enable every person to attain all-round development …so that he/she is capable of life-long learning, critical and exploratory thinking…". Furthermore, the commitment to "provide a comprehensive education, developing fully the intellectual and personal strengths of its students" is clearly stated in the mission statement of this university (5). While there is consensus about the importance of critical thinking, measuring the construct was, until the last decade, a challenge to those who attempted it. Partly, this was due to the lack of a universal agreement about the definition of critical thinking. There was also a lack of valid and reliable instruments for measuring critical thinking. With the publication of the Delphi Research project on critical thinking commissioned by the American Philosophical Association (6), there now exists a cross-disciplinary consensus definition of critical thinking. A number of critical thinking measuring tools has also been constructed through robust, iterative empirical methods (7). More importantly, the new development has enabled the measurement of the disposition to think critically, which is deemed to be essential for achieving mastery over critical thinking skills (7). The California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory (CCTDI) (7), developed from the Delphi Report (6), is designed to measure the dispositional aspect of critical thinking. It has been used extensively among high school and university students in the US with satisfactory psychometric properties (8). A Chinese version of the CCTDI, based on the translation of a Taiwanese nurse scholar (9), was used by one of the researchers (Tiwari) in a study of Chinese (Hong Kong) nursing students (10). While the internal consistency of the Chinese CCTDI was evidently satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha of 0.70), the sample on which it was used was small (n = 110) and its psychometric properties were not fully studied. Furthermore, some respondents queried the meaning of a number of the items as they were expressed in Taiwanese Chinese. Subsequently, incremental changes were made to the Chinese CCTDI by this team of researchers over the last two years with the help of the original test constructors (Noreen and Peter Facione). We also received requests from researchers in Hong Kong and China to use the modified Chinese version of the CCTDI. Even though we had to decline as we felt that the modified version had not been properly validated, the demand for a Chinese CCTDI is obvious. Recently, two members of the team (Tiwari & Yuen) met with Noreen and Peter Facione to plan a validation of the Chinese version of the CCTDI in a population of Chinese (Hong Kong) students. It is intended that the proposed study will: (a) translate the original English version of the CCTDI into Chinese; and (b) study the psychometric properties of the translated instrument in a population of Chinese (Hong Kong) students.
