My Opinion Matters Too! What Makes Patient Partners Feel Valued in Patient-Oriented Research? Learning From Patient Partners who Experience Barriers to Engagement in Healthcare and Research
Background In recent years, there has been an increasing shift toward more collaborative approaches to research, with greater inclusion of diverse patients and community members in the research process. However, further exploration is needed to understand the factors that contribute to research partners feeling valued within teams. Gaining this insight could help foster supportive environments that empower these individuals to meaningfully contri…
The Impacts of Team Culture on Primary Care Teams
Background: Integrated services delivery in primary care is essential, particularly given the current challenges in primary care in Canada. Primary care teams (PCT) provide a way to facilitate integrated care. PCTs in British Columbia (BC) have evolved with widespread implementation of primary care networks, urgent and primary care centres, and community health centres. Team culture can have significant impacts on team functioning and processes, …
Relational practices for meaningful inclusion in health research
INTRODUCTION: The importance of including people affected by research (e.g., community members, citizens or patient partners) is increasingly recognized across the breadth of institutions involved in connecting research with action. Yet, the increasing rhetoric of inclusion remains situated in research systems that tend to reward traditional dissemination and uphold power dynamics in ways that centre particular (privileged) voices over others. In…
Apathy in Older Adults With and Without Dementia
Despite the detrimental impact of apathy on the cognition, functional abilities, and quality of life of older people, it is often under-rated and under-managed. This integrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the barriers as well as potential facilitators to optimal care for older adults with apathy. A systematic search for relevant literature using Whittemore and Knafl’s framework was conducted to identify factors that inhibit or fa…
Use of Antivibration Technology to Reduce Demands for In-Home Nursing Care and Support in Rural Settings for Persons with Essential Tremors
Enhanced access to this technology may reduce the need for nursing and personal care support from the health system. Therefore the Steadiwear antivibration glove also shows potential to delay and/or prevent the need for more intensive support and mitigate the need for transition to a long-term care facility
Building consensus in research partnerships
Background: Research partnership approaches that engage community members within the research team (for example, integrated knowledge translation, community-based participatory research) are typically used to enhance the relevance and usefulness of research findings. However, research outcomes generated through partnered research do not de facto address the priorities of those most affected nor take inclusion or power dynamics into consideration.…
Qualities of the dying experience of persons who access medical assistance in dying
Defining a "good death" is complex and grounded in diverse cultural, social, and personal factors. Although there is a significant body of literature exploring the broad concepts of death and dying, there is a dearth in literature that has explored what constitutes a good death for persons undergoing assisted dying such as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). In this scoping review of 19 articles, we explore dying experiences and what a good death…
Being Uncertain
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. Secondary prevention strategies reduce disease progression to heart failure. Rural cardiac patients typically have less access to health care resources to support them in managing secondary prevention, and services to improve quality of life tend to be lacking in rural settings. The study aim was to examine the process that rural cardiac patients go through to a…
Community perspectives of end-of-life preparedness
While death is a universal human experience, the process of planning for death can be difficult and may be avoided altogether. To understand community perspectives of end-of-life preparedness, we undertook a multimethod study exploring the experiences of 25 community members and 10 stakeholders engaged in end-of-life planning. In addition, card sorting activities and focused discussions with 97 older adults were undertaken to highlight perspectiv…
