Dr Raspovic is a registered podiatrist and registered psychologist (with AHPRA). She is a Senior Lecturer and the Course Co-ordinator in Podiatry at La Trobe University, and works clinically as a psychologist. Across her career, Dr Raspovic has undertaken a variety of roles in clinical practice, education, research and project work. Dr Raspovic’s PhD research focused on lower limb biomechanical alterations in diabetes-related neuropathic foot ulceration. Since undertaking more recent studies in psychology, her research interests have expanded to include; psychosocial aspects of the foot in diabetes, the measurement and impacts of foot ulcer-related psychological distress, health behaviour influences and body image. Dr Raspovic utilises a range of methodologies in her research, more recently focusing on mixed methods approaches, specifically latent profile (cluster) analyses combined with semi-structured interviewing / thematic analysis, and pure qualitative approaches. Dr Raspovic has a keen interest in the inclusion of people with ‘lived experience’ in the co-design and translation of research into policy and practice. Her primary areas of research currently include; plantar pressure offloading trials, factors influencing the selection of offloading in clinical practice, the psycho-social impacts of diabetes-related foot ulceration, body image and psychological aspects of health behaviour choice.
