Public Health Nurses’ Professional Practices to Prevent, Recognize, and Respond to Suspected Child Maltreatment in Home Visiting
The purpose of this analysis was to understand public health nurses' experiences in preventing and addressing suspected child maltreatment within the context of home visiting. The principles of interpretive description guided study decisions and data were generated from interviews with 47 public health nurses. Data were analyzed using reflexive thematic analysis. The findings highlighted that public health nurses have an important role in the pri…
Nurse-Family Partnership and Geography
Nurse-Family Partnership is a targeted public health intervention program designed to improve child and maternal health through nurse home visiting. In the context of a process evaluation, we posed the question: "In what ways do Canadian public health nurses explain their experiences with delivering this program across different geographical environments?" The qualitative methodology of interpretive description guided study decisions and data wer…
Working to Full Scope
Work relationships between registered nurses (RNs) and practical nurses (LPNs) are changing as new models of nursing care delivery are introduced to create more flexibility for employers. In Canada, a team-based, hospital nursing care delivery model, known as Care Delivery Model Redesign (CDMR), redesigned a predominantly RN-based staffing model to a functional team consisting of fewer RNs and more LPNs. The scope of practice for LPNs was expande…
The Influence of Organizational Systems on Information Exchange in Long-Term Care Facilities
Person-centered care is heavily dependent on effective information exchange among health care team members. We explored the organizational systems that influence resident care attendants' (RCAs) access to care information in long-term care (LTC) settings. We conducted an institutional ethnography in three LTC facilities. Investigative methods included naturalistic observations, in-depth interviews, and textual analysis. Practical access to texts …
Reenvisioning Success for Programs Supporting Pregnant Women With Problematic Substance Use
Community-based, integrated, primary care maternity programs for pregnant women affected by problematic substance use are emerging as effective models for engaging women affected by multiple health and social issues. Although addictions services have historically been evaluated by individual achievement of abstinence, new definitions of program success are required as addiction comes to be viewed as a chronic illness. We conducted a mixed-methods…
Providers' constructions of pregnant and early parenting women who use substances
The research literature indicates that problematic substance use as a form of health behaviour is poorly understood, being sometimes viewed as deviance, at other times as a disease, and most often as a combination of these states. The use of substances by women who are pregnant or new parents is often conceptualised within an individualised framework. Yet drinking alcohol and using other drugs during pregnancy and early parenthood cuts across soc…
The Family in Hollywood Melodrama
This paper suggests that 1950s movie melodrama highlights the gulf between the experience of an actual family and its members’ belief, implicit and sometimes explicit, in Family as an idealised Platonic form. At the dénouement, the transcendental ideal of the latter entity is maintained despite the unsettling experiences of a particular family, or the discovery of a superior version of family, in the preceding narrative. Melodrama’s apparent cele…
Male Spectatorship and the Hollywood Love Story
At the heart of 'classic' Hollywood movies is the love story. Love is important as a standard element even in such 'male' genres as the war film. Yet, love is seldom mentioned by film studies theorists. The most influential accounts of male-female relations consider the male both on screen and in the audience as motivated by the desire to dominate the on-screen female. He is the subject, she the object, in this sort of transaction. Love is explai…
Ethnolinguistic diversity in Britain
The paper describes the efforts of three indigenous minority‐language communities in Britain (Scottish Gaelic, Welsh, and British Sign Language) to achieve mother‐tongue education. It argues that their experiences illustrate aspects of social structure in Britain that are overlooked in conventional class analysis. The reluctance of the UK in the past to cater for the linguistic and cultural needs of the indigenous minorities is linked to present …
Power at the periphery
Celtic speech‐communities have persisted despite incorporation in large‐scale society. The article discusses sociological models of this process with especial reference to the author's recent studies in Gaelic communities. The social functioning of language‐varieties and attitudes towards language and culture are outlined and associations with such social factors as age, sex, occupation, religion and political allegiance are explored. The implica…
