25.01.2022 The uncertainty and stress of these changing times can take a toll on your mental and emotional wellbeing. You might be feeling flat or low during this time. That is a completely normal response," says Dr Sarah Hampton, GMRF Research Officer and Clinical Psychologist. Compassionate behaviours, such as the giving and receiving of kindness and care, have been shown to stimulate feelings of warmth, calmness and contentment, which help regulate emotions such as fear, anxiety..., anger, stress and shame, Dr Hampton says. You can read more about this on page 76 in Edition 2 of RSL Queensland News Magazine - https://rslqld.org/News/Queensland-RSL-News

25.01.2022 You could have a conversation today that could change someone's life. Be part of R U OK Day, and take the time to ask someone how they're going. It's been a challenging year for so many of us, and staying connected is as important as ever. Remember, there's more to say after R U OK! Asking someone how they're going is the first step, but it's important to keep the conversation going. If someone tells you they're struggling, listen with an open mind and encourage them to take ...action and seek professional help. Checking in and following up on a conversation is a great way to show someone who is having a tough time that you care. If you have an R U OK? conversation today, pop a reminder in your calendar to follow up in a few weeks. Your actions and genuine care can be life-changing. #RUOKDay #theresmoretosay #RUOK

24.01.2022 Being active during cancer treatment can help you manage some of the common side effects, speed up recover, and improve your quality of life. Understanding how to exercise during treatment can be difficult, and trying to find answers (particularly through the internet) can be overwhelming! That's why the Cancer Wellness Program at Greenslopes Private Hospital is so important. It provides patients with resources like this video below and access to qualified instructors to help... them exercise and feel well during treatment.

23.01.2022 Veterans who leave full-time service may feel a loss of purpose as they adjust to civilian life. As highlighted in a literature review published by our Veteran Mental Health Initiative last year, many veterans felt that they were no longer contributing to something as important as the collective effort of military service, leading to feeling a loss of purpose. In partnership with RSL Queensland, our Veteran Mental Health Initiative is working to address this and other challen...ges veterans may face as they transition from the military.

I am so grateful and thankful to the donors and to GMRF for this opportunity. This research would not have been possible without the support of both."

09.01.2022 Stress and worry are natural responses to threat and uncertainty amid the coronavirus pandemic. These strong emotions can understandably result in difficulty sleeping or insomnia. Insomnia is the experience of difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep, even when you have the chance to do so. It can be very distressing and impact our day-to-day functioning. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia (also called CBTi) is recommended as the most effective way to treat insomn...ia. Watch this helpful video developed by Veterans MATES for an informative look at the kinds of strategies involved in CBTi therapy. https://youtu.be/PH2KE5rBJEE At GMRF, we are offering veterans experiencing insomnia and nightmares the chance to participate in a free group CBTi program commencing in October 2020 as part of the Veteran Sleep Therapy Study.

08.01.2022 Why is it so important to address the issue of sleep problems for veterans? As Research Officer and Psychologist Kelly Brown knows, sleep problems may not occur in isolation. "Sleep and mental health are closely connected. For veterans with PTSD, sleep deprivation can exacerbate symptoms and reduce their ability to cope during the day." "Sleep is a key pillar of overall health and wellbeing. Not getting enough sleep, or having consistently poor quality sleep, can impact many ...areas of your life and day-to-day functioning."

It's an area we're working on in as part of our transition and reintegration research, conducted in partnership with @RSL Queensland. As a veteran told us as part of this research: "There's some great Ex Service Organisations out there that are part of our shared experience. They understand what you've been through.

Hopefully we won't have another situation like we've had, but by working together and learning from each other we'll be ready!" #cancerresearch #clinicaltrials #collaboration

06.01.2022 Lucas Trevisan Franca de Lima may have only just commenced his PhD in our Liver Research Unit, but he is already producing promising early findings in his project. In his pilot study he found that the biomarkers (signatures) in the blood used for diagnosing liver fibrosis also showed in a patient's saliva. It means there is potential to use a saliva test to help identify patients with liver scarring. As Lucas explains: "A simple saliva test could become an important screening... tool which could help prevent patients from developing liver cancer. Using saliva as an alternative biological sample for clinical analysis presents the advantage of being a painless, non-invasive procedure that can be repeated over time." Lucas is now working to validate these findings in a larger test group. Read more about our liver research at: https://www.gallipoliresearch.com.au/resear/liver-research/
