Key features of programs that integrate informal care
Background: Formal health care systems alone are insufficient to address patients needs for overall health and wellness over the life course. Over 90% of the care people receive is informal. Gaps of most concern include practical support, self-care, social relationships, and activities. Therefore, to scale solutions at a population level, there is a need to understand key features that support integrating informal and formal care across social, m…
Interpretive Description for the Novice Researcher
Interpretive description is recognized as a valuable and credible qualitative approach for answering applied research questions. However, guidance for novice researchers on how to apply it remains scarce. This paper responds to that gap by presenting a reflective account of my doctoral research process, illustrating how interpretive description can be operationalized from study conceptualization through design, analysis and knowledge translation.…
Trauma-Informed Care in Undergraduate Nursing Education
Background Trauma-informed care (TIC) requires health care providers and organizations to provide care in a way that assumes everyone has a trauma history (Hopper et al.).

Introduction: New immigrants underutilize health care because of multiple barriers. Although culturally competent health care improves access, it is typically assessed by providers, not newcomers whose perceptions matter most. Methodology: Surveys that included measures of cultural competence and health-related quality of life (QOL) were completed by 117 new immigrants in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. A series of stepwise linear regression analyses w…
The little things are big
Compassionate Communities can address the holistic, personalized, and client-centred needs of people experiencing homelessness and/or low income and social isolation. Volunteers are often untapped health and social care capital that can be mobilized to promote the health of vulnerable persons. Student volunteers may benefit from experiencing and responding to the needs of a community's most vulnerable members
