Affronter les barrières liées à l’accès aux soins de santé pour les personnes aînées francophones en situation minoritaire
Malgré le fait que le Nouveau-Brunswick est la seule province officiellement bilingue au Canada, l’accès aux soins de santé dans la langue officielle de la minorité semble demeurer un grand défi. La province est l’une de celles avec la plus grande proportion de personnes âgées de 65 ans et plus, dont 35 % sont francophones. Le but de cette étude qualitative de type théorisation ancrée était d’identifier comment les personnes aînées francophones e…

A Review of Intimate Partner Violence Interventions Relevant to Women During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Women have experienced increased rates of intimate partner violence (IPV) since the onset of the COVID-19 global pandemic, and at the same time requirements for physical distancing and/or remote delivery of services have created challenges in accessing services. We synthesized research evidence from 4 systematic reviews and 20 individual studies to address how IPV interventions can be adapted within the context of the pandemic. As many interventi…
Exploring High School Students Career Interest in Aging for a Sustainable Workforce
A scarcity of workers calls into doubt our capacity to support and care for an aging population. To gain a better understanding of the next generation of potential workers that will serve the aging population, 644 French-speaking students in grades 10 and 11 in the province of New Brunswick (Canada) were surveyed. The goals were to learn more about the attitudes, knowledge, and career interests that French-speaking, bilingual youth hold with resp…
The Best Place to Be? Experiences of Older Adults Living in Canadian Cohousing Communities During the Covid-19 Pandemic
Our objective in this study was to learn about the experiences of older adults living in a cohousing community during the COVID-19 pandemic. In this qualitative exploratory study, we interviewed 13 participants living in Canadian cohousing communities between October 2021 and January 2022. One key challenge identified focused on some community members not choosing to be vaccinated for COVID-19. We identified many positive impacts including the so…

We compiled information on initiatives providing individual in-person and telephone support, educational and/or therapeutic groups, and short- and long-term shelters and housing. The inter…

The goal of this study was to explore high school students' interest in and perspectives of a career in the field of aging. The specific objectives …
Barriers Faced in the Establishment of Cohousing Communities for Older Adults in Eastern Canada
Cohousing is an innovative form of housing that is characterized by the autonomy of private dwellings with the advantages of shared resources in a socially intentional culture of mutual support. While there are many benefits of cohousing, the growth of cohousing for seniors in Eastern Canada has been slow. We share findings from seven interviews conducted with key informants with a focus on barriers faced in their endeavors to establish cohousing…

Strategies for Aging in Place
For healthy and independent older adults, aging in place can be seen as identical to any other adult living at home. Little is known about how frail seniors, particularly those who speak a minority language, manage the challenges of aging in place. The present qualitative descriptive study explores the strategies that Canadian French-speaking seniors have put in place to counter their loss of independence and promote their ability to stay in thei…
From Zoomers to Geezerade
This paper is based on an analysis of representations of seniors in the media. In particular, we examine images of the bodies of seniors in the advertising campaigns promoting a product called Geezerade sold in Circle K convenience stores in the Atlantic provinces of Canada in the summer of 2011. We contrast these with images of seniors in the Canadian magazine Zoomer, formally CARP magazine, a magazine published by the Canadian Association of Re…
La perception des aînés francophones en situation minoritaire face aux défis et aux enjeux liés au maintien à domicile en milieu urbain néo-brunswickois
The Significance of Social Engagement in Relocated Older Adults
Social networks and social support are recognized as important determinants of health. Relocation is a common transition in older adults’ lives that can disrupt existing social networks and challenge seniors to reconstitute these networks. Social engagement is a required component of the process of reconstituting social relationships and of feeling connected. The purpose of this focused ethnographic study was to develop an understanding of the ex…
