This paper specifically focuses on the methodological design, ethical considerations, and practical adaptations required when using visual tools with children from culturally diverse backgrounds in an online setting. By using examples from a larger qualitative stud…
If you build it they may not come
Background: The importance of maintaining positive mental health in the workplace is a priority for many organizations worldwide. How mental health challenges are addressed continues to evolve as awareness and stigma are brought to the forefront. Effective support needs to consider innovative strategies that promote mental well-being across the system, organization, team, and individual levels. Approach: The creation of mental health toolkits is …
“When in Rome…”
With the increase in international migration, the need for an equitable healthcare system in Canada is increasing. The current biomedical model of healthcare is constructed largely in the Eurocentric tradition of medicine, which often disregards the diverse health perspectives of Canada’s racialized immigrant older adults. As a result, current healthcare approaches (adopted in the US and Canada) fall short in addressing the health needs of a cons…
Even if you build it, they may not come
It is critical to ground toolkits in the experiential evidence of workplace mental health as is linking these to evidence-informed interventions that correspond to workplace concerns. Organizational readiness to adopt and adapt resources and implement changes is a key consideration. Ultimately, user engagement is what brought these toolkits to life
Self-employment, illness, and the social security system
Meagre government-provided formal supports may adversely impact the health and wellbeing of self-employed workers. This study points to ways that statutory social protection programs should be decoupled from benefits provided by employers. Instead, government can introduce a comprehensive program that may compensate or protect low-income individuals irrespective of employment status

Examining critical reflection skills in an undergraduate gerontology course
Experiential learning and reflection activities are often used to enhance students’ understanding of and attitudes toward aging; however, deep reflection is difficult to achieve, and research shows students demonstrate varying abilities to reflect. This study examined the extent to which students in a third-year gerontology course were able to engage in reflection after completing an assignment that included an interview with an older adult. Data…
Should I Stay or Should I Go? International Students’ Decision-Making About Staying in Canada
Recent decades have seen an increase in the popularity of international education. Approximately 500,000 international students were in Canada in 2018 and this number is projected to grow. While we know that many international students decide to stay in Canada, we do not fully understand the decision-making process employed by international students regarding staying in Canada or going back home after completing their education. The purpose of th…
Maybe a little bit of guilt isn’t so bad for the overall health of an individual”
The results provide insight into the complexity of young adults' interactions with labelling interventions and context for future research exploring the unintended consequences of public health nutrition interventions
What stops us from eating
Objective: Adequate dietary intake during pregnancy is vital for the health and nutritional status of both mother and fetus. The nutritional status of reproductive age women in Pakistan is poor, with 14 % being underweight (BMI Design: In-depth interviews and focus group discussions were conducted and then analysed using thematic analysis. Setting: Three purposively selected rural districts (Sahiwal, Okara and Pakpatan) with the highest prevalenc…
Maternal health literacy and health numeracy conceptualizations in public health
Despite unprecedented advancement in educational opportunities and access to information, maternal health literacy (MHL) and health numeracy (HN) skills remain low in North America. By enhancing MHL, the educated civic public-those who have the capacity, skills, and knowledge to apply prose and numerical health information-engages more proactively in public health practice. The purpose of this scoping review was to map the existing empirical evid…
Differential Relationships Between Work-Life Interface Constructs and Intention to Stay in or Leave the Profession
This paper investigates how positive and negative work-personal life interface constructs are differentially associated with intentions to stay in or leave the profession. The findings help map work-personal life interface constructs on the typology of determinants of intention to stay and intention to leave (disengagers, retainers, criticals, and neutrals). The ordered logistic regression (ologit) modelling of cross-sectional data from a represe…

Does an alignment of employment policies and individual preferences affect intention to stay in the profession? Evidence from Canadian Midwives
BACKGROUND: This study examines whether alignment of actual and preferred employment policies, including compensation method, employment status, and work schedule, affect midwives' intention to stay in the profession. The study further investigates the moderating effect of financial-rewards satisfaction and compares midwives' policy preferences in urban/rural practices. METHODS: Cross-sectional survey data from 549 midwives across Canada were ana…
Causes of the causes
Retention of health care professionals is a global concern, but the literature on this topic is dominated by empirical work. This article explores retention among midwives practising in Canada by utilizing Bronfenbrenner's ecological systems theory. Drawing on the interviews with 29 registered midwives across Canada, the article examines the applicability of the ecological systems theory to the analysis of workplace retention. It asserts that the…
Identifying the impact of social networks on mental and emotional health seeking behaviours amongst women who are refugees from Syria living in Canada
Between 2015 and 2017, over 24,000 Syrian women came to Canada as refugees. Refugees are two to three times more likely than native Canadians to suffer from depression and other mental health challenges. A qualitative approach was taken to understand roles of social networks in shaping the mental and emotional health resource-seeking behaviours of twelve Syrian women who are refugees. Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted in both En…
“I was giving someone who didn’t have a voice a voice”
In the study of gerontology, fieldwork with older adults is often used to enhance students’ understanding of the aging process. While assignments based on interactions with older adults are a common practice in teaching students enrolled in gerontology studies, we know less about the impact of such activities on students from other disciplines. This paper summarizes students’ experiences with an assignment offered to a diverse cohort of undergrad…
The Impact of Social Media on Body Image Perceptions and Bodily Practices among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex with Men
Constructing Masculinity in Women’s Retailers
While gender-based differences in consumer behavior have been previously investigated within the context of gender-neutral or unisex retailers, men’s behavior in women’s retailers remains largely unexplored. Furthermore, most studies frame the retail environment as a passive platform through which essential gender differences yield setting-specific bifurcated behavior, and do not address the role the commercial establishment and men’s shopping ha…
The Timing of Pregnancy
In this paper, we apply the concept of timing to explore the meaning that women attach towards planned and unplanned pregnancy. We conducted qualitative semi-structured interviews with 42 Canadian women who were pregnant or recently gave birth to examine how they experience the transition to motherhood. We contend that the timing of pregnancy is a socially constructed norm that impacts women through a complex range of life events and circumstance…
We want to be seen as partners, not vultures of the world
According to UNESCO, the number of international students worldwide will reach 7 million by 2020. This pilot study examined the Canadian stakeholders’ perspectives on migration and integration of international students enrolled in health professions’ studies in Canada. Qualitative interviews with representatives of migration, education, and health sector communities revealed that international students are a desirable group of immigrants, but the…

Forms of Capital as Facilitators of Internationally Educated Nurses’ Integration into the Registered Nursing Workforce in Canada
We used interview data to explore internationally educated nurses’ perceptions of the factors that facilitated their integration into the registered nursing workforce in Canada. The participants perceived that a variety of interrelated factors facilitated their integration. The identified factors seem to reflect forms of capital. Economic capital (availability of financial resources) and cultural capital (language proficiency and competency in pr…

Doing pregnancy
Embodied Motherhood
Based on in-depth interviews, this article examines a sample of 48 Canadian women's feelings about their changed postpartum bodies, their sense of self, and the factors that affect both. Our findings suggest that understanding women's postpartum feelings requires contextualizing them in the work of infant care and women's life circumstances, as well as ideologies about mothering and feminine appearance. Motherhood afforded the women in this study…

Converting to belong
The paper examines religious conversion to Judaism among young ‘Russian’ immigrant girls in Israel. Looking into the process of conversion in religious boarding schools for girls only (Ulpana) and in the broader context of the Israeli nation‐state, we examine the strategies the educators contrive in inculcating religiosity among the girls, how they legitimise and facilitate their self‐transformation, and mobilise them to desire a religious subjec…

The shield of professional status
This article examines the intersecting roles of gender, ethnicity, and professional status in shaping the experiences of internationally educated health professionals in Canada. The article is based on 140 semi-structured qualitative interviews with internationally trained nurses and physicians who came to Canada within past 10 years with the intention to practice their profession. Describing the challenging process of professional integration in…

Constructing and Deconstructing Teen Pregnancy as a Social Problem
The purpose of this paper is to examine teenage pregnancy as a social problem using social constructionist perspective. Analyzing qualitative interviews with 11 young mothers and relying on the media analysis of popular North American newspapers and magazines, I examine claims-making activity around the definition of teenage pregnancy as a social problem. I start this paper, situating my arguments in the social constructionist literature on socia…

Pregnant Bodies in Social Context
This article examines the role of social context in the construction of meanings attached to the pregnant body. Analyzing interviews with 42 women who, during the time of the interview, were either pregnant or had given birth to a child within the last 12 months, I explore (1) the role of social context in assigning social value to the pregnant body; and (2) how the meaning attached to pregnancy changes as pregnant women move from one social cont…

Women‐Centred but not Women‐Friendly
In analysing the reasons for high attrition among midwifery students enrolled in the O ntario M idwifery E ducation Programme, we examined how the challenges of maintaining work‐life balance among practising midwives impacts students' decisions to stay or withdraw from the programme. The content analysis of the written responses from a self‐administered online delivered survey revealed that many students drawn to the profession become disillusion…
