Although the social work profession has focused on becoming an anti-racist profession, social work students report being insufficiently prepared to challenge and dismantle racism.

However, this phenomenological qualitative study described graduate students from historically excluded racial and e…

Introduction: A growing number of eHealth tools are proposed and most of the time, user-centered methods were used for their development. Does this design provide inclusive tools that help reduce social inequalities in health (SHI)? Which factors should be considered when developing these tools? The Sen's theory of social justice provides relevant theoretical support for the development of an inclusive eHealth tool [1]. A previous study based on …

Convergent mixed-methods design was …
Personnes âgées atteintes de trouble neurocognitif
Cadre de la recherche : Plusieurs études rapportent que le soutien aux aînés en perte d’autonomie est principalement assuré par les proches aidants. En présence d’une personne atteinte de trouble neurocognitif, le questionnement sur la sécurité et le besoin de protection survient fréquemment. Tout au long de l’évolution de la maladie, les proches aidants sont appelés à jouer divers rôles. Cela peut s’avérer difficile pour des personnes n’ayant pa…
