Volunteers’ Support of Carers of Rural People Living with Dementia to Use a Custom-Built Application
There is great potential for human-centred technologies to enhance wellbeing for people living with dementia and their carers. The Virtual Dementia Friendly Rural Communities (Verily Connect) project aimed to increase access to information, support, and connection for carers of rural people living with dementia, via a co-designed, integrated website/mobile application (app) and Zoom videoconferencing. Volunteers were recruited and trained to assi…
Analysing complexity
Qualitative data analysis has been criticised for a lack of credibility over recent years when vagueness has been afforded to the reporting of how findings are attained. In response, there has been a growing body of literature emphasising a need to detail methods of qualitative data analysis. This paper adds to this body of knowledge by presenting a reflexive narrative review of the development of a modified version of the ‘phenomenological herme…
Ageism and Covid-19
The goal of this commentary is to highlight the ageism that has emerged during the COVID-19 pandemic. Over 20 international researchers in the field of ageing have contributed to this document. This commentary discusses how older people are misrepresented and undervalued in the current public discourse surrounding the pandemic. It points to issues in documenting the deaths of older adults, the lack of preparation for such a crisis in long-term ca…
Health‐related stigma of noncommunicable neurological disease in rural adult populations
Stigma is a widely recognised public health issue. Many people with neurological disease and their families experience stigmatisation, adding to their burden of illness. Rural populations are typically small, lack anonymity, and often have a higher proportion of older adults with inadequate access to specialised services and resources. Although generally isolated, rural areas can offer benefits such as a sense of familiarity and interconnectednes…

Evolution of a Community-Based Participatory Approach in a Rural and Remote Dementia Care Research Program
Developing and sustaining the full range of stakeholder and decision-maker partnerships is resource-and time-intensive, but our experience shows that community-based participatory strategies are highly suited to health services research that is designed to support sustainable service delivery improvements
Informal caregivers' hopes and expectations of a referral to a memory clinic
Moving On? Predictors of Intent to Leave Among Rural and Remote RNs in Canada
CONTEXT: Examination of factors related to the retention or voluntary turnover of Registered Nurses (RNs) has mainly focused on urban, acute care settings. PURPOSE: This paper explored predictors of intent to leave (ITL) a nursing position in all rural and remote practice settings in Canada. Based on the conceptual framework developed for this project, potential predictors of ITL were related to the individual RN worker, the workplace, the commun…
Aboriginal Experiences of Aging and Dementia in a Context of Sociocultural Change
Interdisciplinary research and interprofessional collaborative care in a memory clinic for rural and northern residents of western Canada
In Canada, interprofessional education (IPE) and interdisciplinary health research initiatives are beginning to transform the academic health sciences, including graduate training programs for clinical psychologists. In response to mandates and directives from national health policy and research funding bodies, academic training programs are re-structuring course offerings, practicum training experiences, and research activities to better prepare…
Taking the Hit
Beliefs about the causes of events have implications for emotional reactions, distress, expectations for the future, and behavioral responses. In this article we report on two issues: the organizational context that contributes to nursing aide (NA) assault and reporting, and serendipitous findings that arose from investigating unexpected response rates to a survey. Data were collected in 11 rural nursing homes using a structured prospective event…
Breaks in continuity of care and the rural senior transferred for medical care under regionalisation
Continuity of care, defined as the patient experiencing coherent care over time and place, is challenged when a rural senior with multiple medical problems is transferred to a regional hospital for acute care. From an illustrative case of an older patient with pneumonia and atrial fibrillation, we catalogue potential breaks in continuity of care. Optimal continuity of care is characterised not only by regular contact with the providers who establ…
Rural families caring for a relative with dementia
The Physical Environment of Special Care Units
To manage the care of increasing numbers of residents with dementia, many long-term care facilities have created special care units (SCUs) designed to meet the unique needs of this group. This article describes results of the qualitative component of a larger research project examining environment-behavior relationships in dementia care settings. Eighteen in-depth interviews were conducted with 9 staff and 9 family members of SCU residents. Thema…
The Diagnosis of Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a chronic illness in which the needs of the family can outweigh those of the impaired person. This study explored the impact of a diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease from the perspective of the caregiving spouse in the first 6 months following diagnosis. During the process of data collection and analysis, two groups of caregivers emerged: for the grief group, the foremost problem was grief at the loss of a beloved partner and …
