Summary
Tertiary singing students need vocal health education. This study used the Delphi method to create the "Singing-it-Safe" program, ensuring expert consensus on key priorities for optimal vocal health.
Area of Science:
- Vocal pedagogy
- Health education
- Audiology
Background:
- Vocal injury risk is high for tertiary singing students due to increased practice and performance demands.
- Singing students require knowledge and skills to manage their vocal health effectively.
- Expert consensus is crucial for designing effective health education programs.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop the pedagogical framework for the "Singing-it-Safe" vocal health education program.
- To achieve consensus among an expert voice panel on program content and priorities.
- To create an evidence-based program for Australian tertiary singers.
Main Methods:
- Two national e-Delphi rounds involving voice experts (students, teachers, speech pathologists).
- Iterative, semi-structured interviews to identify key themes.
- Expert panel feedback on the program outline following consensus.
Main Results:
- 80% consensus achieved on 32 out of 47 topics in Round 1.
- Topics covered anatomy, physiology, general health, lifestyle, singing behaviors, health literacy, mind-body connection, organizational culture, and delivery.
- Round 2 involved prioritizing topics, with an expert advisory panel finalizing the program structure.
Conclusions:
- A tailored, consensus-based vocal health education program, "Singing-it-Safe," was developed for tertiary singers.
- The program incorporates expertise from vocal professionals to support authentic student learning.
- This initiative addresses the need for specialized vocal health education in tertiary music institutions.

01:18Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention II
The person's health status fluctuates continually, varying from being in good health to becoming ill and returning to being healthy. To understand the concept of illness prevention, there are two models. First, the health-illness continuum model is a graphic representation of an individual's wellness. It states that a person is considered healthy in the absence of physical disease and the presence of good emotional health.

01:25Models of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention I
A model is a theoretical way to understand a concept or an idea. Models can overcome barriers to health regardless of diverse economic and cultural backgrounds. In addition, models make the task easier by providing different ways to approach complex issues. There are two major health promotion models: the health belief model and the health promotion model.
The health belief model (HBM) attempts to predict health-related behavior in specific belief patterns. According to the HBM, a person's...

01:26Levels of Health Promotion and Illness Prevention
Health promotion allows a person to control the determinants of health, resulting in an improved health status. It enhances the quality of life and reduces premature deaths. Health promotion and illness prevention programs help people make beneficial choices to reduce the risk of disease and disabilities. There are three health promotion and illness prevention levels: primary, secondary, and tertiary prevention.

Implementation is the execution of the nursing care plan developed during the planning phase.
The five steps to implementing effective nursing care include reassessing the patient, reviewing and revising the existing nursing care plan, organizing the resources and care delivery, anticipating and preventing complications, and implementing nursing interventions.

Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is characterized by narrowed arteries that diminish blood flow to the extremities. Effective management of PAD requires an interprofessional approach involving various healthcare professionals. The critical aspects of interprofessional care for PAD patients focus on risk factor modification, drug therapy, exercise therapy, nutrition therapy, critical limb ischemia care, and interventional radiology and surgical procedures.The primary treatment goal for PAD...
