Problematic Prescription Drug Use Among Canadian Armed Forces Veterans
BACKGROUND: Problematic prescription drug use (PPDU) is a public health concern that can cause degradation of wellbeing. Examination of prevalence and correlates of PPDU in Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) Veterans is essential to understand its impact and to identify those at risk. This study aimed to assess correlates of PPDU among CAF Veterans, including sociodemographic characteristics and physical and mental disorders. METHODS: = 1,922), all of w…
Disorder-specific risk factors of suicidal behaviour among serving and veteran Canadian Armed Forces Members with baseline mental health diagnoses
This study identified characteristics of individuals living with mental disorders who might be at high risk of suicidal behaviour, highlighting potential areas for targeted interventions in this key population
Together, alone
The COVID-19 pandemic caused profound distortions in how deaths were marked by those left to mourn their passing. Public health restrictions prohibited gatherings of friends and families for traditional funerals, causing an upsurge in reliance on virtual alternatives. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of individuals attending virtual funerals following a death of any cause, including reasons for choosing virtual attendance, per…
The first casualty of Covid-19 for patients nearing death was human dignity
The COVID-19 pandemic changed the way people lived, but also the way they died. It accentuated the physical, psychological, social, and spiritual vulnerabilities of patients approaching death. This study explored the lived experience of palliative inpatients during the pandemic. We conducted interviews with 22 palliative inpatients registered in a Canadian urban palliative care program, aimed to uncover how the pandemic impacted participants' exp…
It took so much of the humanness away”
COVID-19 has affected healthcare in profound and unprecedented ways, distorting the experiences of patients and healthcare professionals (HCPs) alike. One area that has received little attention is how COVID-19 affected HCPs caring for dying patients. The goal of this study was to examine the experiences of HCPs working with dying patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. Between July 2020-July 2021, we recruited HCPs (N = 25) across Canada. We cond…
Un nouvel enjeu de santé publique au Canada
Chaque année, dans le monde, entre 48 et 50 millions de personnes se retrouvent endeuillées à la suite d’un suicide. Au Canada seulement, ce sont 4 000 individus qui se suicident chaque année, laissant derrière eux un grand nombre de personnes qui doivent faire face au caractère traumatisant et complexe du suicide. Dans un contexte qui avait déjà vu la tentative de suicide être décriminalisée en 1972, la présente étude se penche sur ce qui appara…
A comparison of the prevalence and risk factors of suicidal ideation and suicide attempts in two American Indian population samples and in a general population sample
The current study aimed to examine whether the prevalence and risk factors for suicidal ideation and attempts differ when comparing two American Indian reservation samples to the U.S. general population. Data were from the baseline nationally representative National Comorbidity Survey ( N = 5,877) and the representative American Indian Service Utilization, Psychiatric Epidemiology, Risk and Protective Factors Project (AI-SUPERPFP; N = 3,084). Fac…
Sexual Orientation and its Relation to Mental Disorders and Suicide Attempts
OBJECTIVE: To compare the rates of all Axis I and II mental disorders and suicide attempts in sexual orientation minorities with rates in heterosexuals using a nationally representative sample. METHOD: Data used were from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions Wave 2 (n = 34 653, response rate = 70.2%). Cross-tabulations and multivariate logistic regression analyses were performed to determine differences in rates of …
Complicated grief and related bereavement issues for DSM-5
Bereavement is a severe stressor that typically incites painful and debilitating symptoms of acute grief that commonly progresses to restoration of a satisfactory, if changed, life. Normally, grief does not need clinical intervention. However, sometimes acute grief can gain a foothold and become a chronic debilitating condition called complicated grief. Moreover, the stress caused by bereavement, like other stressors, can increase the likelihood …
Population-Attributable Fractions of Axis I and Axis II Mental Disorders for Suicide Attempts
Objectives. We aimed to determine the percentage of suicide attempts attributable to individual Axis I and Axis II mental disorders by studying population-attributable fractions (PAFs) in a nationally representative sample. Methods. Data were from the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions Wave 2 (NESARC; 2004–2005), a large (N = 34 653) survey of mental illness in the United States. We used multivariate logistic regressi…
