Workplace wellbeing for sustainable and equitable provision of Hospice for Homeless Populations
Background: Sustaining and growing integrated hospice palliative care (HPC) for homeless populations, hinges on staff and volunteer workforce capacity to deliver high-quality specialized care focused on trauma-informed, compassionate, and anti-oppression approaches. However, multiple compounding work-related stressors may put these providers at risk for burnout, including heavy workloads, workplace harassment, and vicarious trauma. Burnout can le…
We did the co-design, now what? Authentic engagement to deliver and measure a dementia resource
Co-designing resources to support relationships between caregivers and care providers of persons living with dementia (PLWD) was the first step to authentically engage with and meet diverse community needs. Now, we are continuing our participatory approach to deliver and measure the Our Dementia Journey Journal (ODJJ) to communities across Canada
Integrated palliative care for all
Background: Approximately 235,000 people experience homelessness or structural vulnerability in Canada in any given year, and many would benefit from hospice palliative care (HPC) due to their complex health and social care needs. Sustaining and growing integrated HPC for all, including people experiencing homelessness, hinges on staff and volunteer workforce capacity to deliver high-quality specialized HPC.Our program of research focuses on skil…
Development, testing and international opportunities for a novel Patient Reported Experience Measure (PREM) of integrated home and community care
BACKGROUND: As health systems transition to more integration, it is important to measure whether the aims of integration are being achieved, including health equity and patient experience. One way to do this is by gathering self-reported data through patient-reported experience measures (PREMs). Integrating PREM data into health system improvement initiatives has been shown to improve health outcomes. As health systems around the world seek to ex…
Nursing competencies for integrated home and community care
Background: Workforce stabilization is critical to sustainability and expansion of home and community care, given rising demand for care outside facility-based settings. Continuous knowledge and skill-building, rooted in up-to-date and evidence-based competencies and resources, is central to ensuring home health nurses are equipped to deliver care in dynamic community care contexts that include: increasing use of digital health tools, rising comp…
The Reflection Room ®
We developed, implemented, and evaluated a participatory arts-based storytelling initiative called the Reflection Room project. Our aim was to investigate if visiting a Reflection Room, (1) creates opportunities for disclosing emotions and processing thoughts, (2) increases comfort discussing dying and death, and (3) supports advance care planning (ACP), conversations. In the pilot phase of the Reflection Room project, a Reflection Room was insta…
Think aloud and tell us everything that comes to mind”
Background: Ontario’s health system goal is to put clients at the centre with the right care, at the right time, in the right place. To do this there is a need to integrate home care with community-based services. This type of integration should, in theory, better support people to continue living well, with dignity and safety, in their homes and communities for as long as possible. A critical component of improving integrated home and community …
Designing meaningful surveys
Background: People want to live well in their homes and communities for as long as possible. To support this, some home care services in Ontario, Canada are restructuring to integrate medical and personal care, with community-based social care and services (e.g., friendly visiting, meals, and transportation). Measures of client experience, referred to as ‘patient-reported experience measures’ (PREMs) are important for guiding health system improv…
How the more life discourse constrains end-of-life conversations in the primary care of medically frail older adults
There is growing emphasis for primary care clinicians to initiate and engage in end-of-life (EOL) conversations with medically frail older adults. However, EOL conversations happen most often when death is imminent or are avoided altogether. The objective of this study was to understand the socio-political forces shaping EOL conversations between clinicians, medically frail older adults and/or their care partners within an urban primary care sett…
Biomedicalization of end-of-life conversations with medically frail older adults - Malleable and senescent bodies
Urban First Nations Men
Purpose: Dominant discourse contains negative stereotypical images of First Nations males that are steeped in colonialism. These racialized images can influence First Nations men’s sense of self as well as the care that nurses deliver. The objective was to (a) explore practices that support positive First Nations identity and (b) provide suggestions for practicing culturally safe care. Design: The theory of Two-Eyed Seeing guided this study. Data…
Evaluation of Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy to Reduce Psychological Distress and to Promote Well-Being
The objective of this study was to assess the effectiveness of an 8-week mindfulness-based cognitive therapy (MBCT) group intervention to reduce psychological distress as well as to strengthen self-esteem, resilience, and general well-being for individuals living with a chronic illness and/or other health challenges. This pilot study employed a pre–posttest design to evaluate the outcome of the intervention for individuals receiving care in a Com…
Dialectical Behavior Therapy as a catalyst for change in street-involved youth
Explicating Positionality
Qualitative researchers must be aware of and explicit about their social background as well as political and ideological assumptions. To facilitate this awareness, we believe that researchers need to begin with their own story as they seek to understand the stories of others. Taking into account the vulnerable act of storytelling, it is salient to consider how to share personal narratives in an authentic way within academic settings. In this arti…
