A case study of a Canadian homelessness intervention programme for elderly people: Homelessness intervention for the elderly
The aims of this study were to describe: (1) how the Homelessness Intervention Programme addressed the needs of elderly people who were homeless or at risk of homelessness; and (2) the factors that influenced the ability of the programme to address client needs. The programme was offered by a multi-service non-profit agency serving low-income families and individuals in an urban neighbourhood in Ontario, Canada. Using a case study approach, we co…

Influence of Companion Animals on the Physical and Psychological Health of Older People: An Analysis of a One‐Year Longitudinal Study
OBJECTIVE : To examine whether companion animals or attachment to a companion animal was associated with changes in physical and psychological health in older people and whether the relationships between physical and psychological health and human social networks were modified by the presence or absence of a companion animal. DESIGN : A 1‐year longitudinal study with standardized telephone interview data collected at baseline and repeated at 1‐ye…
The Impact of Re-Engineering and Other Cost Reduction Strategies on the Staff of a Large Teaching Hospital: A Longitudinal Study
OBJECTIVES: To examine changes over time in the hospital staff's perceptions of how rapid organizational change, caused by fiscal constraints imposed by governments, affects them, their work environment, and the quality of care and services that they provide. METHODS: A random sample of hospital employees (n = 900) of a large Ontario teaching hospital participated in a longitudinal study which involved surveys at 3 measurement periods over a 2-ye…

Medicine and the Canadian State: From the Politics of Conflict to the Politics of Accommodation
This paper analyzes data from three large-scale surveys of Canadian physicians conducted over the past decade to examine the politics of a cohort of recently established family physicians in Ontario, and to assess the extent to which these politics represent a "softening" of professional resistance to government health insurance. Politically, this is an important cohort because the physicians in it have grown up without any firsthand knowledge of…
Measurement of Physician Performance by Standardized Patients: Refining Techniques for Undetected Entry in Physicians?? Offices
The article describes the development of methods to use live simulated patients for assessment of quality of care of primary physicians. Methods used to train patients and achieve undetected entry into physicians' practices are described. The study demonstrated that patients can be entered into practices with a low rate of detection (13%) and that they are able to recall the details of the encounter with a high degree of reliability
Assessing the Rleationship Between Medical Education and Subsequent Performance
This paper raises questions about the feasibility of conducting well‐designed and executed research to relate practice performance of physicians to their medical education. The longitudinal study efforts underway at McMaster University's medical school are used to illustrate the problems that confront educators interested in studying the impact of a curriculum on the later professional activities of its graduates. The possible role of less precis…
Test-Retest Reliability of the Shipley-Institute of Living Scale: Practice Effects or Random Variation
104 first-year female nursing students were group administered the Shipley-Institute of Living Scale. Retesting was conducted on subsamples at 2-wk., 1-mo., 2-mo., 3-mo., and 4-mo. intervals with subsample sizes of 17, 19, 19, 19, and 18, respectively. Although the actual differences were relatively small, consistent and significant increases were found for Abstract raw score, Conceptual Quotient and WAIS equivalent IQ. No significant differences…
