Engaging patients in blood systems
Patient Experience Data Mining Approach for Rapid Quality Improvement at Trillium Health Partners
Background: Trillium Health Partners (THP), one of Canada’s largest leading academically-affiliated health centres in Ontario, Canada, recognized a critical gap in patient experience (PE) data collection methods. Traditionally reliant on paper-based and telephone surveys, THP's approach was increasingly seen as insufficient in capturing the full diversity of patient feedback. This limitation was particularly significant within the context of inte…
Chaos, miracle, and coping
The plasma-derived medical products in highest demand is immunoglobulin (Ig). • This study is a narrative analysis of Ig recipients in Canada. • Patients with immunodeficiencies and polyneuropathies struggle to receive a diagnosis. • Patients' experiences of this treatment are situated within their social lives. • Ig can have a meaningful impact on the lives of people with these illnesses
Covid-19 vaccine hesitancy and acceptance
As countries continue the third year of the pandemic, we believe that there has been unfair attention to COVID-19 vaccine efficacy and safety, while tacitly ignoring serious challenges with vaccine uptake, without which vaccination may not be effective against the spread of COVID-19. While several studies have been published on COVID-19 vaccine hesitancy, there remains a need to conduct a comprehensive global analysis of vaccine hesitancy. We con…
Social Interactions While Grieving Suicide Loss
The effects of suicide are both widespread and long-lasting in the lives of those closest to the deceased. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), suicide is the third leading cause of death in adolescents. Some research has shown that families who lose someone to suicide are at a higher risk of complicated grief compared to those bereaving from other types of losses. These risks may be emphasized given the socio-cultural context surrou…
“Continuing the Connection” or “Carrying On”? A Qualitative Evidence Synthesis of How Widows Explain the Physical Health Outcomes After Spousal Loss
The experience of losing a loved one can have profound effects on physical and psychological well-being, and previous research has reported an increased risk of mortality after spousal loss. This qualitative evidence synthesis reviewed 16 studies on the perspectives of widows who experienced adverse physical health outcomes after spousal loss. This review examines how widows described or explained the physical health outcomes after losing their s…
Managing Anticipatory Grief in Family and Partners
Almost every person is affected by grief at some point during their lifetime. However, the majority of grief research has focused on the experiences and perspectives of individuals after loss. Grief can be expected or unexpected depending on the nature of loved one’s death. Like postdeath grief, individuals who expect the impending loss of a loved one may feel uncertainty, fear, and sadness, which can lead to a number of adverse outcomes on their…
Mal/adaptations
BACKGROUND: Opioid agonist therapy (OAT) has been severely disrupted by the COVID-19 pandemic. The risks of opioid withdrawal, overdose, and diversion have increased, so there is an urgent need to adapt OAT to best support people who use drugs (PWUD). This review examines the views and experiences of PWUD, health care providers, and health system administrators on OAT during major disruptions to medical care to inform appropriate health system re…
The value of information
Parents’ trust in information sources on vaccines influences their decision to vaccinate their children. This study explores how trust in information sources can promote or reduce vaccine hesitancy among parents. We conducted a systematic review and qualitative meta-synthesis of 29 vaccine hesitancy studies that focused on information and trust. We found that parents were particularly distrustful of (1) pharmaceutical companies, (2) physicians, (…
Public trust in governments, health care providers, and the media during pandemics
The rationales for and challenges with employing arts-based health services research (ABHSR)
Health services research (HSR) is an interdisciplinary field that investigates and improves the design and delivery of health services from individual, group, organisational and system perspectives. HSR examines complex problems within health systems. Qualitative research plays an important role in aiding us to develop a nuanced understanding of patients, family, healthcare providers, teams and systems. However, the overwhelming majority of HSR p…
Death from a broken heart”
The Widowhood Effect
The loss of a loved one is one of the most ubiquitous life experiences. There have been multiple reviews that have found adverse health outcomes for individuals experiencing spousal loss, particularly the widowhood effect that characterizes an increased risk of mortality after loss. However, there is a lack of clarity on the relationship between physiological stress and the widowhood effect. This commentary uses the literature on stress, marital …
Knowledge, (mis-)conceptions, risk perception, and behavior change during pandemics
The severe acute respiratory syndrome–coronavirus-2 pandemic has spread rapidly and has a growing impact on individuals, communities, and healthcare systems worldwide. At the core of any pandemic response is the ability of authorities and other stakeholders to react appropriately by promoting hygiene and social distancing behaviors. Successfully reaching this goal requires both individual and collective efforts to drastically modify daily routine…
The Factors That Promote Vaccine Hesitancy, Rejection, or Delay in Parents
Vaccines are some of the most cost-effective public health interventions for reducing disease burden and mortality. However, in recent years, health systems have faced a growing challenge with increasing number of parents who choose not to vaccinate their children. This decision has important implications for the health of communities worldwide, and despite a considerable amount of research that reinforces vaccine effectiveness and safety, there …
Appraising Qualitative Research for Evidence Syntheses
As the movement toward evidence-based health policy continues to emphasize the importance of including patient and public perspectives, syntheses of qualitative health research are becoming more common. In response to the focus on independent assessments of rigor in these knowledge products, over 100 appraisal tools for assessing the quality of qualitative research have been developed. The variety of appraisal tools exhibit diverse methods and pu…
