    Abstract Background: High-quality evidence supports the integration of exercise to mitigate treatment-related side effects in a wide range of paediatric and adult cancer cohorts. However, the implementation of exercise in adolescent and young adult (AYA) cancer patients is yet to be explored in depth. FiGHTINGF!T is a randomised controlled cross over trial designed to determine if a supervised, structured, and progressive exercise programme can reduce the decline in physical fitness (V0
    Methods/design: A total of 40 AYAs recently diagnosed and due to commence systemic treatment (± 2 weeks) for a primary haematological malignancy or solid tumour will be recruited and randomised to either an immediate exercise intervention or usual care (delayed exercise) for 10 weeks. This randomised controlled crossover trial will see both groups engage in a supervised exercise intervention from either diagnosis (baseline assessment) for 10 weeks (0-10 weeks) or following an interim assessment to 20 weeks (10-20 weeks). The bi-weekly tailored exercise programme will combine aerobic and resistance exercises and be supervised by an Accredited Exercise Physiologist. Participants will complete a range of assessments at 0, 10, and 20 weeks including cardiopulmonary exercise tests, 1 repetition maximum strength measures, physical functioning, and self-reported quality of life measurements. Patient-reported treatment-related toxicities will be recorded on a weekly basis.
    Discussion: The FiGHTINGF!T trial will provide insight into the potential benefits of a supervised exercise programme in AYAs undergoing cancer treatment. This trial will contribute to the evidence supporting the necessary integration of exercise during cancer treatment, specifically in the under-reported AYA cohort.
    Trial registration: This trial was registered retrospectively with the Australia New Zealand Clinical Trial registry ( ACTRN12620000663954 ). Registered on 10 June 2020.

    Abstract Objectives: COVID-19 vaccination in the United States has stalled, with some of the lowest rates in the South. Vaccine hesitancy is a primary contributor and may be influenced by health literacy (HL). This study assessed the association between HL and COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy in a population residing in 14 Southern states.
    Study design: Cross-sectional study using a web-based survey conducted between February and June 2021.
    Methods: The outcome was vaccine hesitancy, and the main independent variable was HL, assessed as an index score. Descriptive statistical tests were performed, and multivariable logistic regression analysis was conducted, controlling for sociodemographic and other variables.
    Results: Of the total analytic sample (n = 221), the overall rate of vaccine hesitancy was 23.5%. Vaccine hesitancy was more prevalent in those with low/moderate HL (33.3%) vs those with high HL (22.7%). The association between HL and vaccine hesitancy, however, was not significant. Personal perception of COVID-19 threat was significantly associated with lower odds of vaccine hesitancy compared with those without perception of threat (adjusted odds ratio, 0.15; 95% CI, 0.03-0.73; P = .0189). The association between race/ethnicity and vaccine hesitancy was not statistically significant (P = .1571).
    Conclusions: HL was not a significant indicator of vaccine hesitancy in the study population, suggesting that general low rates of vaccination in the Southern region may not be due to knowledge about COVID-19. This indicates a critical need for place-based or contextual research on why vaccine hesitancy in the region transcends most sociodemographic differences.

    Abstract Objective: To identify factors affecting work-life balance amongst male and female orthodontists in the UK.
    Design: A qualitative interview-based study with a cross-sectional design.
    Subjects: Specialist orthodontists working in specialist practice and the hospital service in the UK were selected by purposive sampling.
    Methods: In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 orthodontic specialists. Interview transcripts were analyzed using Framework Analysis.
    Results: Four main themes pertaining to work-life balance in orthodontics were identified: work factors affecting work-life balance, life factors affecting work-life balance, perception and effects of work-life balance and suggestions for managing work-life balance within the profession.
    Conclusions: There was substantial variation in the work-life balance of the orthodontists interviewed in this study; however the majority reported high levels of career satisfaction despite difficulties maintaining a good work-life balance. Whilst there were some clear distinctions in the factors affecting work-life balance between the hospital environment and specialist practice (including additional professional commitments and teaching/training-related issues), there were also a number of similarities. These included, the lack of flexibility in the working day, managing patient expectations, taking time off work at short notice and the ability to work part-time.

    Abstract Introduction: This study evaluated patients' experiences of the Hypodontia Care Pathway at a large teaching hospital at key stages: specifically patient expectations/experience following the diagnosis of hypodontia and then patient satisfaction with the orthodontic care received and the outcome at the end of active orthodontic treatment.
    Methodology: In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with 20 hypodontia patients following completion of orthodontic treatment but prior to any planned prosthodontic treatment commencing. Interviews were analysed qualitatively, using a framework approach.
    Results: The framework analysis identified four main themes: perceptions of treatment, impact of the original malocclusion and the treatment process, the care team and communication. The themes were then further divided into subthemes.
    Discussion: There was a large amount of positive feedback and the importance of the patient-clinician relationship was evident throughout. Where issues of concern were identified, these related mainly to communication and areas were identified where change could take place in the future.
    Conclusions: Positive feedback was received and the importance of patient-clinician rapport was highlighted in all interviews. The main areas that could be enhanced related to the importance of ensuring optimum communication, particularly with a cohort of patients who are often undergoing complex multidisciplinary treatment. Recommendations for the service have been made.

    Abstract Despite the benefits of vaccination for health care workers (HCWs), uptake of recommended vaccinations is low, particularly for seasonal influenza and pertussis. In addition, there is variation in uptake within hospitals. While all vaccinations recommended for HCWs are important, vaccination against influenza and pertussis are particularly imperative, given HCWs are at risk of occupationally acquired influenza and pertussis, and may be asymptomatic, acting as a reservoir to vulnerable patients in their care. This study aimed to determine predictors of uptake of these vaccinations and explore the reasons for variation in uptake by HCWs working in different hospital wards. HCWs from wards with high and low influenza vaccine uptake in a tertiary pediatric and obstetric hospital completed a questionnaire to assess knowledge of HCW recommended immunizations. Multiple logistic regression was used to determine predictors of influenza and pertussis vaccination uptake. Of 92 HCWs who responded, 9.8% were able to identify correctly the vaccines recommended for HCWs. Overall 80% of respondents reported they had previously received influenza vaccine and 50.5% had received pertussis vaccine. Independent predictors of pertussis vaccination included length of time employed in health sector (P < 0.001), previously receiving hepatitis B/MMR (measles, mumps, rubella) vaccine (P < 0.001), and a respondent being aware influenza infections could be severe in infants (p = 0.023). Independent predictors of seasonal influenza vaccination included younger age (P < 0.001), English as first language (P < 0.001), considering it important to be vaccinated to protect themselves (P < 0.001), protect patients (p = 0.012) or awareness influenza could be serious in immunocompromised patients (p = 0.030). Independent predictors for receiving both influenza and pertussis vaccinations included younger age (P < 0.001), time in area of work (P = 0.020), previously receiving hepatitis B vaccine (P = 0.006) and awareness influenza could be severe in infants (P < 0.001). A knowledge gap exists around HCW awareness of vaccination recommendations. Assessment of the risk/benefit value for HCWs and their patients, determines uptake of HCW immunization programs and should be considered in promotional HCW vaccination programs.

    Abstract Understanding motivators and barriers of health care worker (HCW) vaccination programs is important for determining strategies to improve uptake. The aim of this study was to explore key drivers and HCW decision making related to recommended vaccines and seasonal influenza vaccination programs. We used a qualitative approach with semi-structured one-to-one interviews with 22 HCWs working at a tertiary pediatric and obstetric hospital in South Australia. A thematic analysis and coding were used to examine data. Key motivators that emerged included: sense of responsibility, convenience and ease of access, rotating trolleys, the influenza vaccine being free, basic knowledge about influenza and influenza vaccination, peer pressure, personal values and family culture, as well as the culture of support for the program. Personal decisions were the major barrier to HCWs receiving the influenza vaccine which were predominantly self-protection related or due to previous experience or fear of adverse reactions. Other barriers that emerged were misconceptions about the influenza vaccine, needle phobia and privacy concerns. This study identified both attitudinal and structural barriers that could be addressed to improve uptake of the seasonal influenza vaccine.

    Abstract Purpose: Support services provision and clinical trial enrollment were examined for a cohort of adolescent and young adults (AYAs) diagnosed with having cancer and treated at adult hospitals in Western Australia (WA).
    Methods: The sample was 383 AYAs aged 15-24 years diagnosed from 2000 to 2004, with follow-up until 2007. Sociodemographic, clinical trial participation, and health service data were obtained from Statewide administrative health data collections and patient medical records at hospitals in WA. Separate multivariate logistic regression models were used to identify which sociodemographic and treatment setting variables predicted whether a patient had formal contact with a mental health professional, social worker, or occupational therapist. Due to the small number of clinical trial enrollments in the sample (n = 5), modeling was not used to explore group differences in this outcome.
    Results: Mental health professional, social worker, and occupational therapist consultations were received only by patients who attended a metropolitan hospital. Compared with patients treated at only tertiary centers, those treated at only nontertiary centers had lower odds of consulting with a mental health professional (OR = 0.12, 95% CI 0.03, 0.58) or occupational therapist (OR = 0.02, 95% CI 0.001, 0.23). Less than 2% of the cohort enrolled in a clinical trial.
    Conclusion: Access to clinical trials and support services by AYAs diagnosed with having cancer in WA was generally low, particularly outside the metropolitan area. Variations in accessibility across different treatment settings in WA warrant efforts for greater awareness of AYA needs and increased communication and collaboration between specialists and centers involved in the care of AYAs with cancer.

    Abstract Cutaneous toxicities associated with EGFR inhibitors (EGFRIs) have a significant impact on patient treatment continuation, quality of life and healthcare resource utilization. This paper reviews the current prophylaxis and management of EGFRI-induced cutaneous toxicities in patients with colorectal cancer, and combines these findings with the authors' clinical expertise to define a novel algorithm for healthcare professionals managing patients receiving EGFRIs. This tool includes a grading system based on the location, severity and psychological impact, and provides a standard prescription pack, advice on prophylaxis/self-management of cutaneous symptoms for patients initiating EGFRIs, and essential guidance on subsequent review and treatment escalation. It aims to optimize treatment of metastatic colorectal cancer by minimizing cutaneous toxicities to maintain dose intensity and efficacy of EGFRI-based chemotherapy.
