The prevalence of multimorbidity in primary care
MM3+ was better at identifying a smaller number of patients with multimorbidity requiring higher needs compared to MM2+. Using the Fortin list seemed more appropriate than the CDMP list because the chronic conditions in Fortin's list were more commonly seen in primary care. A consistent definition of multimorbidity will help researchers and clinicians to understand the epidemiology of multimorbidity better

In 2015, a 4-month patient-centred interdisciplinary pragmatic intervention was implemented in primary care with the aim of supporting self-management for patients with multimorbidity. OBJECTIVE: To explore the perceptions and experiences of health-care professionals, patients and their caregivers with a 4-month patient-centred interdisciplinary pragm…

DESIGN: Secondary analysis from baseline data of the French arm of Patient-Centered Innovations for Persons with…

Beyond the grey tsunami
On shifting ground
We examined first-time fathers' and mothers' perspectives about their ideal world of support in the context of dominant social ideology, ethno-cultural ideals, and the pragmatics of their everyday family, workplace, and socioeconomic circumstances during their first 18 months as parents. Twelve Canadian-born and six Chinese immigrant couples participated in individual in-depth interviews. We conducted a three-part analysis: fathers' perspectives,…
Supporting parents of Aboriginal children with asthma
Asthma is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting Aboriginal children and adolescents in Canada, with associated high rates of hospitalization and emergency room visits. Social support deficits and social isolation pose significant problems for Aboriginal families coping with asthma challenges. However, support interventions that focus on the unique support needs of parents of Aboriginal children affected by asthma have not been inves…
Respiratory Health Inequities Experienced by Low-Income Children and Parents
As some respiratory conditions are more prevalent among children who are low income, the aim of this study was to describe challenges experienced by children and parents coping with poverty and respiratory health problems and relevant service inequities. Children and parents who are low income (n = 69) were interviewed to identify challenges connected with poverty, compounded by chronic respiratory conditions. Poverty exacerbated challenges linke…
Challenges Faced by Refugee New Parents from Africa in Canada
An evaluation of the effectiveness of engaging Canadian clients as partners in in-home care
This exploratory quasi-experimental evaluation assessed the effectiveness of the use of a concrete discussion guide to promote organisation-wide application of a partnering approach to engage older home-care clients with chronic disease/disabilities as care partners. A post-test-only design with an independent pre-test sample was used to compare selected outcomes with those of standard in-home care. The theoretically informed discussion guide por…

These…

Supporting African refugees in Canada
Although evidence suggests the importance of social support for refugees, this knowledge has not been invoked to systematically develop culturally congruent support interventions that help refugees adapt to life in receiving countries. The objective of this study was to design and pilot test a culturally congruent intervention that meets the support needs and preferences of two ethno-culturally distinct refugee groups. Support was delivered to So…

Supporting Homeless Youth
Homelessness among adolescents and young adults is a growing concern in Canada and other countries, yet little is known about their support needs and support intervention preferences from the perspectives of homeless youth or youth at risk of homelessness. The authors assessed these needs and preferences through individual and group interviews with homeless adolescents and young adults (n = 35) and their service providers (n = 27). The unique per…
Les conséquences du sida dans la vie des hémophiles et de leurs soignants familiaux au Québec

Les participants ont signalé avoir éprouvé plus de stress à cause de l'…
Advocacy of Women Family Caregivers
Support from health and social service professionals assists women in caring for a relative with a chronic condition. However, nonsupportive interactions coexist with supportive interactions and might have unanticipated consequences. The purpose of this ethnographic study was to examine advocacy as a proactive response to nonsupportive interactions with professionals among women family caregivers in four caregiving situations. Data generation inc…
Multicultural Meanings of Social Support among Immigrants and Refugees
Canada continues to be a prominent immigrant and refugee‐receiving country in worldwide migration, resettlement, and search for refuge, yet there is a gap in our understanding of these newcomers’ views of the specific meanings of social support and their support needs and resources. The purpose of this study was to understand the meanings of social support for immigrants and refugees in Canada, and to explore the types and adequacy of formal supp…
Researching reducing health disparities

Practical Issues in Using a Card Sort in a Study of Nonsupport and Family Caregiving
The authors successfully used the card sort data collection technique with 17 female family caregivers in a large ethnographic study of nonsupport. In this article, they describe the practical issues they addressed.

Later, to address challenges for participants, they developed approaches to assist women in moving …

Caregiving was central to their role as women and members of their ethnocultural community. The women were often en…

Towards a global definition of patient centred care
This paper focuses on the formulation of a deterministic COVID-19 transmission model by considering the exposed and recovered populations with immunity. The scenario of the simulation is depicted based on the patient zero in Malaysia. The transmission model is found to be able to predict the next confirmed case given a single case is introduced in a fully susceptible population. The mathematical model is developed based on the SEIR model which ha…
