Expanding enabling places theory through land-based cultural learning with indigenous men
Urban Indigenous men face distinct challenges that effect their wellbeing. • Cultural programming promotes healing but suffers from inconsistent funding and support. • This research combines Indigenous health geographies, Duff’s Enabling Places Model, and a participatory project with an Indigenous men’s group. • Findings expand Duff’s enabling places model with attention to knowledge-place relations. Urban Indigenous men often lack opportunities …
A comparison of the mental health impacts and resilience of healthcare workers in rural Manitoba during the Covid-19 pandemic
Drawing on resilience research in rural studies, this study examined the mental health experiences of frontline healthcare workers during two stages of the COVID-19 pandemic in rural Manitoba, Canada. Data were collected using online surveys from May to June 2020 (n = 137) and from May to June 2021 (n = 219). The surveys assessed symptoms of anxiety and identified strategies and barriers to addressing mental health concerns. Most respondents exhi…
A qualitative study of refugee men's mental health in non-metropolitan Manitoba
In bringing together literature on masculinity, refugee mental health experiences, and rural and non-metropolitan settings, we identify a gap surrounding the mental health experiences of refugee men in non-metropolitan places, and in non-metropolitan Canada specifically. In this article, we explore how refugee men in non-metropolitan Canada understood mental health; what they perceive to be the most significant barriers to good mental health; and…
Reiterating a Need for Antiracism Praxis in Nursing and Psychiatric Nursing Education
Background: The reemergence of the Black Lives Matter movement in 2020 reinforced the need for antiracist and decolonizing praxis in all areas, including nursing education, the burden for which has fallen predominantly on visible minorities. To enact the needed change within health care systems and nursing education, White nurses must recognize their privilege and become active participants in the conversations and change. Method: This two-phase …
Nursing Students’ Well-Being
Nursing programs are highly competitive and stressful environments; nursing educators are looking for ways to mitigate the negative consequences of demanding training programs. This article explores and compares the mental health status and sociodemographic and personal characteristics that influence the psychological distress of nursing and non-nursing students learning in either official language of Canada. An online and paper survey was admini…
Exploring ageing and time as resources in men's mental health experiences
While research on men's mental health is increasing, it has not typically focused on the intersections between ageing, masculinity and mental health in a rural context. Given the significant increase not only in our global ageing population, but also our growing awareness of mental health problems in the general population, understanding men as they grow older in relation to mental health is a notable gap in research. In this paper, the authors e…
Having Hard Conversations About Racism Within Nursing Education

Maintaining Safety While Discussing Suicide
Although trauma informed (TI) care has been well researched and is used in many disciplines, TI practices for research are less developed. In this article, we explore the use of TI practices when discussing the sensitive topic of suicide within an online focus group. Qualitative studies on rural suicide are sparse, even though the incidence of suicide is higher rurally than in urban areas. Rural communities are often close knit and stigma can be …
A Collaborative Multi-Method Approach to Evaluating Indigenous Land-Based Learning With Men
In Canada, a vast majority of urban Indigenous people face distinct challenges accessing and connecting to Indigenous cultural practices. Research has found that colonial policies and practices continue to disrupt and fracture traditional methods of passing down cultural teachings, including dispossession from traditional lands in which cultural practices are rooted. This disruption continues to affect the availability of educational programming …
Conversations in Times of Isolation
Older adults have been described as a vulnerable group in the current context of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Canada, where this study took place, older adults have been encouraged to self-isolate while the rest of the population has been cautioned against in-person contact with them. Prior to COVID-19, social isolation and loneliness among older adults was considered a serious public health concern. Using a series of semi-structured interviews with…
Identifying places that foster mental health and well-being among rural men
I never wanted my children to see their father the way I've seen mine
In this article, we draw together literature on rural masculinities, fatherhood, and mental health to explore how men experiencing mental health problems understand fatherhood. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were conducted with 24 men who reside in rural southern Manitoba with a focus on mental health and wellness, perceptions of masculinity, support and living well. In this study, it became apparent that fatherhood was a theme that many …

Grounded in Culture
Research continues to be a dirty word for many Indigenous people. Community-based participatory research (CBPR) is a means to disrupt power dynamics by engaging community members within the research process. However, the majority of relationships between researcher and participants within CBPR are structured within Western research paradigms and they often reproduce imbalances of power. The purpose of this article is to reflect on the process of …
Are rural Prairie masculinities hegemonic masculinities
Our aim in this article is to provide readers with a critical overview of some of the recent research in psychology, sociology, geography and critical masculinity studies with a focus on rural places and masculinities. We begin our critical review of rural masculinities with a discussion of hegemonic masculinity, a concept well known to theorists of masculinities, before providing an overview of the literature on rural men, which leads into to a …
