RESEARCH CENTRES Research in the Faculty of Health addresses important health issues using a wide range of approaches. This involves multidisciplinary collaboration and ground-breaking research across a number of health-related ar-eas. Most of the Faculty’s substantial program of re-search is conducted through the Institute of Health and Biomedical Innovation (IHBI) in which it is a key partner.

Key areas of research strength include:

Ageing

The effects of an ageing population pose numerous health and social issues for Australia and globally. Re-search at QUT is investigating successful ageing strate-gies, innovative systems of care and the impact of age-related disease. Other ageing research focuses on mod-els of community and residential care, pain and symptom management, palliative care, ocular disease and the ef-fects of vision impairment, foot health, gait, mobility and posture analysis, disorders of movement, injury in older people, social identity, families, mental health, nutrition,



cognition and cognitive/memory deficits, the older driver, the older worker and active ageing.

The Dementia Collaborative Research Centre for Car-ers and Consumers based at QUT is one of three De-mentia Collaborative Research Centres established with Commonwealth funding. The Centre focuses on Quality of Life (QoL) and Quality of Care (QoC) for people with dementia. The primary goal is to increase knowledge of the range of personal, physical and social environmental factors that determine quality of life, and quality of care for both the person with dementia and their carer/s. Par-ticular areas of research include nutrition, palliative care, evaluating the QoL of persons with dementia and family carers in both residential care and community settings, supporting and sustaining family carers in their roles by better understanding the impact of loneliness, social iso-lation and stigma on QoL, testing the efficacy of non-pharmacological management strategies for behavioural and psychological symptoms of dementia and supporting residential aged care workers in their roles by promoting resilience and commitment to dementia care to impact quality of care.

Physical Activity

The roles of physical activity in the improvement and maintenance of health is a significant area of research with implications for the prevention, treatment and man-agement of a range of chronic diseases, and occupa-tional and sporting injuries. This program of research is aimed at the promotion of physical activity during child-hood and adolescence, the prescription of exercise in the context of chronic disease; and community-based health behaviour interventions. Injury research involves as-sessment of biomechanical, physiological, metabolic, neurological, sensory and psychological factors, concen-trating on high-risk groups. Research is also being con-ducted into a range of disorders including neurological injury, vision loss, emotional or behavioural disorders in children, peripheral arterial disease and sleep apnoea.

Human Health and Wellbeing

Research activities in this area relate to health services policy and management, and population health and well-being. Areas of strength include the social and environ-mental determinants of health and disease, child and youth health including obesity and child protection, healthy ageing including palliative care and dementia, prevention and management of chronic disease and men-tal health issues, promotion of healthy lifestyles, emer-gency services and adverse events in hospitals and health outcomes for disadvantaged populations.

Human Behaviour

Research into human behaviour embraces fundamental, social, cognitive and developmental processes in psy-chology, as well as their applications. Fundamental re-search encompasses areas such as attitudes, group be-haviour and decision making, child and adolescent devel-opment, cognition and memory, psycholinguistics and the development of reading. Applied research examines resil-ience, growth and health promotion, especially in the face of developmental challenges or adversity, and studies the

nature and management of addictive behaviours and mental disorders. A range of research methods has also informed the development of psychological therapies and counselling, remote delivery of psychological interven-tions, and psychological practice in educational settings.

Vision

QUT has an international reputation for research in op-tometry and vision science. Facilities which are unique in Queensland provide an important resource for the com-munity, industry, government and the eye care profes-sions. Vision research includes collaborative research with other programs deriving from the main vision re-search activities which are visual optics including aberra-tions of the eye and their correction, lens design and per-formance, myopia and optics of the eye; visual perform-ance studies including vision rehabilitation, vision and driving and vision and falls; and clinical research into the ocular surface, effects of refractive surgery, colour vision and electroretinography.

Social Work Research

Social Work research is committed to understanding the needs of the diverse communities with which social work and human services practitioners work. The goal of so-cial work research is to improve the health and wellbeing of vulnerable groups through contributing to new knowl-edge, which informs social policy and professional prac-tice. Current areas of research activity include child safety and welfare, social exclusion (including the needs of spe-cific communities such as Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander; migrant and refugee; lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender; rural and remote; as well as exclusionary practices related to public space), disability studies and workforce issues in human services.

Accident and Injury Prevention Research

Road safety and workplace injury prevention are key ar-eas of research that have already led to the successful implementation of behaviour intervention and education programs. The Centre for Accident Research and Road Safety–Queensland (CARRS–Q) is a major collaborative research centre established as a joint venture initiative of the Motor Accident Insurance Commission (MAIC) and QUT. The Centre was created to address the enormous human, economic and social costs resulting from road crashes. It has expanded its research scope to include the broader area of injury prevention with a particular interest in youth and risk-taking behaviours.

The goal of the Centre is to reduce road trauma and other injury at the local, national and international level, by conducting innovative research and delivering high qual-ity education programs to practitioners. The Centre aims to strengthen and broaden research and intervention de-velopment in the areas of vulnerable road users, regula-tion and enforcement, school and community injury pre-vention, occupational road safety, and safety systems and technology.

The profession of Optometry is undergoing expansion in itsscope of practice as a result of legislative amendmentsoccurring (or pending) in all states and territories to allowappropriately trained optometrists to use therapeuticpharmaceutical agents in the practice of Optometry. Thisprogram increases graduates' depth of knowledge in theareas of general and ocular pharmacology, with training inthe therapeutic management of eye disease.

The program was offered for the first time in 2009, replacingthe Bachelor of Applied Science (Optometry). The secondyear is offered for the first time in 2010 and the third yearwill be offered for the first time in 2011.

Why choose this courseQUT offers the only optometry training in Queensland and isone of only three universities in Australia to offer optometry.Because of this, optometry graduates are always in demandwith many entering private practice or going on to work inother areas such as industry, teaching or research positionsboth in Australia and overseas.

This course is the first component in a dual degree programwhich will allow graduates to practise as optometrists. Itprovides the theoretical basis in the vision and clinicalsciences necessary for the later study of clinical practice inthe Master of optometry program.

Class numbers are small so you will receive individual

attention from experienced lecturers. You have access to anoptometry clinic that enables you to learn in a clinicalsetting, under the supervision of registered optometrists.

The QUT School of Optometry maintains strongprofessional and organisational links with industry.
