ABSTRACT
Increasing chronic disease rates in regional Australian communities necessitates innovative models of healthcare. We evaluated the efficacy of an interprofessional chronic disease program, delivered within a regional student-led nursing and allied health clinic in Southern Queensland, Australia. Changes to anthropometric, aerobic fitness and strength, and quality of life outcomes were examined at four time points spanning 16 months intake, program transition (4 months), 6 and 12 months (post-transition). Our primary aim was to investigate whether the health improvements achieved during the program were sustained at 12 months in a subset of participants who provided complete data. Significant improvements were found in 6 of 11 measures, including the 6-minute walk test, grip strength, and self-reported quality of life across physical and psychosocial dimensions, with these improvements maintained to final review. No significant changes were found in body mass index (BMI), waist circumference, fat mass, or muscle mass. This is the first health clinic in regional Australia to deliver a student-led model of interprofessional and collaborative service to tackle the increasing burden of chronic disease in the community. The cost-effectiveness of this service and other potential clinical and social benefits remain to be investigated.
