Internationally Educated Nurse (IEN) Integration into the Workforce and Community
Background: Globally, the COVID-19 pandemic has amplified healthcare provider shortages. In Canada, multipronged strategies have been implemented to strengthen the nursing workforce; one widely implemented approach includes the expedited integration of internationally educated nurses (IENs). In 2022, the province of Nova Scotia (NS) collaborated with intersectoral partners to support the recruitment and retention of internationally educated nurse…
Exploring the barriers and facilitators of continuous quality improvement for health promotion within healthcare food environments
Continuous quality improvement (CQI) has become a widely accepted approach to optimize health services while lowering healthcare costs (Quintuple Aim) and has expanded from clinical interventions to health promotion. Retail food environments (e.g. hospital cafeterias, cafes) are of interest given the increased adoption of healthy eating policies and interventions to influence diet (e.g. price, promotion, placement and product). However, there is …
Becoming Interprofessional
Interprofessional collaborative practice (IPC) occurs when health professions work collaboratively to improve quality of care and enhance patient outcomes. Yet myriad challenges to enacting collaborative practice exist. Interprofessional education for collaborative practice (IPECP) is foundational for promoting collaboration among health professions, yet there is a gap in understanding how students perceive their readiness for IPC and how early s…

Virtual spaces that allow parents in the postpartum period to connect, support each other, and exchange information have been increasing in popularity. With the COVID-19 pandemic, many parents had to rely on virtual platforms as a primary means to connect with others and attend to their postpartum health. This study explored virtual postpartum support sessions through the web-based videoconferencing software, Zoom. Guided by feminist poststructur…
Equity in Changes to Dementia Care in the Community during the First Wave of the Covid-19 Pandemic in High Income Countries
During COVID-19, emergency measures, such as physical distancing and program restrictions, have reduced community-based supports for PLWD and their caregivers. Consequently, reductions in dementia services and resources have contributed to existing health inequities in this population. Academic databases were searched in July 2020. Grey literature was retrieved using the CADTH Grey Matters tool. Articles from 2000 to 2020 in English and from high…
Maternal Knowing and Social Networks
The postpartum period is an exciting yet stressful time for first-time mothers, and although the experience may vary, all mothers need support during this crucial period. In Canada, there has been a shift for universal postpartum services to be offered predominantly online. However, due to a paucity of literature, it is difficult to determine the degree to which mothers' needs are being effectively addressed. The aim of this study was to examine …
Privileging physical activity over healthy eating
Physical activity and healthy eating have long been promoted as key strategies in tackling the 'wicked problem' of obesity. Both practices are assumed to go hand-in-hand, but whether one dominates the other has largely remained unexamined. Moreover, time, a dimension beyond the socio-ecological model, is a critical factor of families' busy lives, but related challenges are rarely articulated. We conducted 47 family interviews as part of a mixed m…
