Engaging in this process of democratization of knowledge production is appealing and yet, the experience is often complex and messy. Often the backstage political processes of PAR are not shared, despite t…

This paper aims to contribute to the growing realist literature by presenting a step-by-step process used in a realist study focused on refugee mental health services in Ca…
Front‐Liners on the Sidelines: The Credential Recognition Experiences of Filipino Internationally Educated Nurses
Communities across Canada face a shortage of medically trained professionals, the majority of which are nurses, as domestic supply has not kept pace with increasing demand for services.

One goal of qualitative health research is to fully capture and understand stories of people who experience inequities shaped by complex interlocking structural and social determinants. With this social justice-oriented goal in mind, it is critical to use a methodological approach that appreciates prevailing inequities and oppression. In this article, we propose an innovative approach that joins qualitative health research methodology with critic…

Religion and spirituality in the context of bipolar disorder: A literature review
Religion and spirituality (R/S) may play an important role for individuals with bipolar disorder (BD) by providing a means of coping with, and an explanatory model for, their disorder. We conducted a systematic review of empirical studies that have explored R/S in individuals with BD or samples that explicitly delineate individuals with BD. Only six studies met our inclusion criteria. Findings from these studies suggest that R/S strategies may be…
