“I’m Appalled and Astonished”
Access to nurturing early learning and childcare (ELCC) and a supportive early childhood environment play critical roles in promoting children’s cognitive, social, and behavioral development. However, access to these relevant programs and services remains inequitable, especially for historically marginalized communities, such as Black people. This paper reports the experiences of Black parents (n=25) as they navigated ELCC in Kingston and London,…
Creating tapestries of knowledge
Nursing has been described as both an art and a science. However, science has been privileged in nursing education, and there is a need to integrate liberal arts within nursing to facilitate the development of holistic and person-centred nursing practices. The authors present reflections about the integration of liberal arts content and an art-based assignment within a first-year nursing course in Canada, from the perspectives of students and the…
Understanding the Parental Caregiving of Children with Cerebral Palsy in Saudi Arabia
Parents provide most of the support needed for children with cerebral palsy (CP) to increase the child's participation and independence. Understanding the experiences of parents caring for children with CP is essential for developing effective family programs and services. The current knowledge about parents' experiences in CP is based on studies in Western countries, with little known about this phenomenon in Arab countries like Saudi Arabia. Th…
Diabetes in Liberia
There is increasing awareness that diabetes is a growing public health threat in Liberia. The high mortality and morbidity associated with diabetes have significant implications for individuals, families and communities. The current response to diabetes in Liberia is limited to the management of acute complications. Long-term strategies for the prevention and control of diabetes are almost entirely absent from national health agendas. This brief …
Understanding the State of Research Evidence Involving Parents of Children with Cerebral Palsy in the Arab Contexts
Raising a child with cerebral palsy (CP) can be both rewarding and challenging. Family caregivers, typically parents, play an important role in supporting and caring for children with CP. Research on CP family caregiving is growing, but Arab parental caregiving appears absent from this body of work. The objective was to map the scope of the existing literature about parents of children with CP in Arab contexts to identify gaps in knowledge and gu…
Supporting Women after Obstetric Fistula Surgery to Enhance Their Social Participation and Inclusion
Obstetric fistula is a childbirth complication causing abnormal openings between the urinary, bowel, and genital tracts, leading to involuntary leakage and potential long-term disability. Even after surgical repair, women continue to face psychological and social challenges that affect their social inclusion and participation. This study explored family and service provider perspectives on current support systems and identified gaps affecting wom…
‘The solution is we need to have a centre’
In Liberia, one of the poorest nations in sub-Saharan Africa, the burden of diabetes is a growing concern. The high mortality and morbidity associated with diabetes have significant implications for individuals, families and society at large. The aim of this critical hermeneutic study was to explore what it is like to live with diabetes in Liberia. We recruited 10 participants from Monrovia, Liberia to partake in this study. Photovoice, a well-es…
Phenomenographic Approaches in Research About Nursing
We propose that phenomenography is well-suited to research about nursing, given its focus on identifying variation in individuals' experiences, and inclusion of diverse voices and perspectives. Phenomenography explores qualitatively different ways in which a group of people experience a phenomenon, often using semi-structured interviews. The use of phenomenography is especially relevant in research about nursing which provides accounts of the exp…
Geometric Morphometric Analyses of Levallois Points from the Levantine Middle Paleolithic do not Support Functional Specialization
Levallois points are a prominent part of many Levantine Middle Paleolithic assemblages. They are either produced intentionally or incidentally by the Levallois core reduction technique and are of a generally similar shape, although the degree to which they were used as specialized tools has been questioned. Here, we examine Levallois points using geometric morphometric analyses to assess the range of shape variation in this artifact type. We then…
The Challenges of Providing Postpartum Education in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
Postpartum education can save lives of mothers and babies in developing countries, and the World Health Organization recommends all mothers receive three postpartum consultations. More information is needed to better understand how postpartum education is delivered and ultimately improves postpartum health outcomes. The purpose of this qualitative study was to examine how postpartum care was delivered in three postnatal hospital clinics in Dar es…
