Challenges faced by parents in preventing online child sexual exploitation and abuse
Introduction: Concerns about online child sexual exploitation and abuse (OCSEA) have been raised in society. Compared to adults, children and adolescents are more vulnerable as they are less able to assess risks and consequences. Prevention remains the most effective strategy for protecting children, and parents play an important role. However, many parents face barriers in recognizing and preventing OCSEA. This systematic review aims to identify…
Parents' information needs and their recommendations for effective sexuality education to children
Background: As children undergo significant developmental transitions, comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) becomes essential. Despite global evidence supporting early CSE, many parents feel underprepared to address topics such as puberty, consent, gender identity, and digital safety with their children. This study explores parents' information needs, barriers, and recommendations for effective sexuality education tools. Methods: A community-b…
Imposter Participants in Synchronous Qualitative Research
Although the issue of bots and fraudulent participants is well established within quantitative research, in recent years there have been increasing incidences of imposter participants within qualitative research. However, how qualitative researchers conceptualise this challenge and what the perceived impact of these imposter participants are, remains underexplored. This systematic scoping review identified 15 articles published since 2018 address…
Between cultures and traditions
Immigrant adolescents in Canada face challenges accessing accurate sexual and reproductive health (SRH) information and services. Many challenges stem from taboos associated with SRH, cultural and religious restrictions, and social beliefs regarding the unnecessity of SRH education for adolescents. We explored the SRH experiences of immigrant adolescents in the context of their cultural and religious perspectives. We engaged adolescents as collab…

Ensuring that families have access to essential health information is critical for improving health outcomes and adherence to public health recommendations. Understanding parents' experiences and information needs related to the pandemic an…
The Walls Had Been Built”
Public health measures (PHMs) implemented during the COVID-19 pandemic introduced sudden changes to adolescents' everyday routines and required adolescents to repeatedly adapt their routines at a critical developmental stage. While meant to protect physical health, the PHMs destabilized mental health. Using a youth-engaged approach and interpretive description, this study explored adolescents' perspectives on their mental health in relation to th…

Digital Storytelling as a Method in Health Research
Digital storytelling aims to illuminate complex narratives of health and illness when used as a method in health research. Digital stories are three to five minute videos that integrate written and narrated stories with multiple aesthetic components. There is increasing interest in digital storytelling as a research method, yet there is limited synthesized knowledge about its use. A systematic review to advance methodological understanding was wa…

Two Approaches to Focus Group Data Collection for Qualitative Health Research
This article discusses four challenges to conducting qualitative focus groups: (1) maximizing research budgets through innovative methodological approaches, (2) recruiting health-care professionals for qualitative health research, (3) conducting focus groups with health-care professionals across geographically dispersed areas, and (4) taking into consideration data richness when using different focus group data collection methods. In light of the…
Developing an inventory of ongoing/unpublished arts and narrative-based approaches as knowledge translation strategies in health care
Background: Systematic review is an essential component of evidence-based health care, yet limited to published academic literature. We aimed to augment an ongoing systematic review on the use of art and narrative as knowledge translation (KT) strategies. Methods: We describe the development of an exploratory process to complement systematic reviews through locating ongoing or unpublished projects. Data were collected through email communication,…

Court Reporters
Focus group interviews are a common approach to data collection in qualitative research projects. They are, however, a method with the potential for methodological and pragmatic difficulties, many of which stem from transcribing focus group data from an audiotape. An alternative to postinterview transcription is the use of a court reporter. Advantages found using court reporters were increased accuracy, timely receipt of transcripts, less distrac…
A Context of Uncertainty
Context has often been cited as a significant factor in shaping research utilization behavior, yet scholars have been unable to provide specific detail as to how and why it is important. From an ethnographic study of research utilization in a pediatric intensive care unit, we determined that the primary characteristic of this nursing unit was uncertainty. We identified four major sources of uncertainty: (1) the precarious status of seriously ill …
Sources of Practice Knowledge Among Nurses
Several studies have been published listing sources of practice knowledge used by nurses. However, the authors located no studies that asked clinicians to describe comprehensively and categorize the kinds of knowledge needed to practice or in which the researchers attempted to understand how clinicians privilege various knowledge sources. In this article, the authors report findings from two large ethnographic case studies in which sources of pra…
