Validation of the Canadian English and French Versions of the Fear of Covid-19 Scale in Quebec Nursing Staff
Nursing staff have been at the forefront of the pandemic, reporting high traumatic stress and anxiety levels related to high fear of COVID-19. Recommendations from previous studies include using the Fear of COVID-19 Scale (FCV-19S) as a screening tool to identify any individuals who may benefit from targeted psychological support. Thus far, the accuracy of the Canadian English and French versions of FCV-19S to detect high levels of traumatic stre…
Apples to apples? Comparison of the measurement properties of hospital anxiety and depression-anxiety subscale (Hads-A), depression, anxiety and stress scale-anxiety subscale (Dass-A), and generalised…
Development and psychometric evaluation of the CanSmart questionnaire to measure chronic disease self-management tasks
In this preliminary analysis, two self-management tasks subscales exhibit good psychometric properties. Two items that did not load on either scale may represent additional dimensions of self-management. This work provides the basis for further scale development and use in research and clinical practice
Measuring Health Literacy in Primary Healthcare
The BHLS-FCv demonstrated acceptable psychometric properties and could be used in a population with chronic conditions in primary care
Using confirmatory factor analysis and Rasch analysis to examine the dimensionality of The Patient Assessment of Care for Chronic Illness Care (Pacic)
Chronic Illness Management in Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Patients
In Canada, people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) backgrounds are at a greater risk of developing a chronic illness, and are more likely to experience adverse health effects and challenges in accessing high-quality care compared with Canadian-born individuals. This, in part, has been attributed to having inadequate access to information and resources needed to manage their illness(es). A qualitative descriptive design and induct…
Perceptions, needs and preferences of chronic disease self‐management support among men experiencing homelessness in Montreal
OBJECTIVE: This study explored the perceptions, needs and preferences for chronic disease self- management (SM) and SM support among men experiencing homelessness. DESIGN: A qualitative interpretive approach was used. Eighteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 homeless men with a chronic disease at an emergency overnight shelter of Welcome Hall Mission (WHM) in Montreal, Quebec. Interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed verbatim…
Developing education materials for caregivers of culturally and linguistically diverse patients
OBJECTIVES: To explore the information needs of caregivers of culturally and linguistically diverse (CALD) patients, and how they access and understand health information related to the management of their care person's chronic illness(es). BACKGROUND: Caregivers of CALD patients experience greater unmet needs compared to the general caregiver population. They experience many challenges in identifying resources and accessing formal supports to ai…
The direct and indirect financial costs of informal cancer care
Informal caregivers are the primary source of support for cancer patients, providing assistance with household tasks, medical care and emotional support. These responsibilities often result in high levels of emotional, physical, social and financial burden for the caregiver. The aim of this study was to perform a scoping review exploring what is known regarding the financial costs experienced by caregivers and identify gaps in the literature. Sev…
PROMIS depression measures perform similarly to legacy measures relative to a structured diagnostic interview for depression in cancer patients
La gestion de la dépression chez les aînés et leurs aidants naturels
La dépression est un problème répandu, sérieux, et souvent chronique chez les aînés, qui sont souvent atteints de maladies physiques chroniques, et affecte de façon négative leurs traitements et leurs soins. Malheureusement, le taux de détection et de suivi adéquat de la dépression est faible dans cette population. Au cours des deux dernières décennies, notre équipe a mené une série d’études pour mieux comprendre et améliorer la gestion de la dép…

Remises migratoires et redistributivité
En 2008, les quatre plus gros destinataires de remises parmi les pays à revenu faible ou intermédiaire sont l'Inde, la Chine, le Mexique et les Philippines, avec des flux atteignant respectivement 50, 49, 26 et 19 milliards de dollars
Health Information—Seeking Behavior
Seeking information about one's health is increasingly documented as a key coping strategy in health-promotive activities and psychosocial adjustment to illness. In this article, the authors critically examine the scientific literature from 1982 to 2006 on the concept of health information—seeking behavior (HISB) to determine its level of maturity and clarify the concept's essential characteristics. A principle-based method of concept analysis pr…

Shadowing
This article attempts to bridge the gap between the vocational aspects of simultaneous interpretation and the theoretical and empirical components of simultaneous interpretation by describing the benefits and the versatility of the shadowing technique when used as a pre-simultaneous training tool. Aspects of cognitive psychology and neuropsychological applications are incorporated in a variety of applied exercises
Conscious monitoring of attention during simultaneous interpretation
This study addresses for the first time on an experimental level the question of whether different modalities of conscious monitoring of attention (normal condition, attention focalization on the input, attention focalization on the output, condition with two voices) may affect the number and the type of mistakes made by simultaneous interpreters in different situations. The major results of the study are the following: (i) While the overall numb…
Teaching consecutive interpreting
The authors provide two perspectives on the teaching of consecutive interpreting: The pragmatic approach and the cognitive justification. Consecutive interpreting is described as requiring outstanding skills in language comprehension and production; the article provides relevant exercises to enhance these skills and features an overview of CI practice and teaching. It concludes with a list of references of published and non-published sources deal…
