Labels, Language, and Other Strategies to Improve Communication About Lower Grade Ductal Carcinoma in Situ
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is when abnormal cells are found in the milk ducts of the breast, but they have not spread outside the ducts. It is not an invasive cancer, but it can sometimes turn into cancer over time if not treated. Women with low or intermediate grade DCIS are counseled to undergo standards of care, which may include surgery, radiation, and/or endocrine therapy even though DCIS may not develop into breast cancer, prompting co…
Community Agency Health Promotion Capacity for Ethno-Culturally Diverse Immigrant Women
High rates of international migration must be addressed by healthcare systems. In particular, immigrant women lack access to and quality of care. Community-based health promotion may be one way to reach immigrant women. The aim of this study was to explore the capacity of immigrant settlement agencies for health promotion to immigrant women. We conducted semi-structured telephone interviews with immigrant women and community agency managers to di…
Evaluation of a Question Prompt List About Cardiovascular Disease Risk and Prevention After Hypertensive Pregnancy
INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to pilot test a question prompt list (QPL) about cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk reduction after hypertensive pregnancy (HDP). METHODS: In a prospective cohort study of adult women who had HDP given the QPL before and surveyed after a physician visit, we assessed perceived person-centred care, self-efficacy for self-management, perceived self-management and QPL feasibility. RESULTS: Twenty-three women par…
Raising awareness about physical activity’s role in reducing cancer risk
We generated insight on the ideal characteristics of a community-based education session that could raise awareness among immigrant women of the importance of PA in reducing cancer risk. Further research is needed to assess the feasibility and impact of PA education sessions designed based on these findings
Optimizing the design and implementation of question prompt lists to support person‐centred care
Multi-level strategies to improve equitable timely person-centred osteoarthritis care for diverse women
This research contributes to a gap in knowledge of how to optimize OA care for disadvantaged groups including diverse women. Ongoing efforts are needed to examine how best to implement these strategies, which will require multi-sector collaboration and must engage diverse women
How is patient‐centred care conceptualized in obstetrical health? comparison of themes from concept analyses in obstetrical health‐ and patient‐centred care
BACKGROUND: Due to gender inequities that exist for women of childbearing age, there exists a need to deliver care tailored to their needs and preferences. Patient-centred care (PCC) can be used to meet these needs. This review aims to compare patient care delivery between PCC and obstetrical care. This can help us address how PCC should be delivered to women before, during and after pregnancy versus how it is delivered to patients regardless of …
Unclear if future physicians are learning about patient-centred care
Purpose Given barriers of patient-centred care (PCC) among physicians and trainees, this study assessed how medical schools addressed PCC in curriculum.Method The authors used content analysis to describe PCC in publicly-available curriculum documents of Canadian medical schools guided by McCormack’s PCC Framework, and reported results using summary statistics and text examples.Results The authors retrieved 1459 documents from 16 medical schools …
The psychological burden of waiting for procedures and patient‐centred strategies that could support the mental health of wait‐listed patients and caregivers during the Covid‐19 pandemic
Approaches to optimize patient and family engagement in hospital planning and improvement
BACKGROUND: Patient engagement (PE) in health-care planning and improvement is a growing practice. We lack evidence-based guidance for PE, particularly in hospital settings. This study explored how to optimize PE in hospitals. METHODS: This study was based on qualitative interviews with individuals in various roles at hospitals with high PE capacity. We asked how patients were engaged, rationale for approaches chosen and solutions for key challen…
Recommendations to improve patient‐centred care for ductal carcinoma in situ
BACKGROUND: Patient-centred care (PCC) improves health-care experiences and outcomes. Women with ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) and clinicians have reported communication difficulties. Little prior research has studied how to improve communication and PCC for DCIS. OBJECTIVE: This study explored how to achieve PCC for DCIS. DESIGN: Canadian women treated for DCIS from five provinces participated in semi-structured focus groups based on a 6-domai…
Participation and consultation engagement strategies have complementary roles
BACKGROUND: Patient and public involvement (PPI) is recommended when developing high-quality clinical practice guidelines, but the effects of different PPI strategies are largely unstudied. OBJECTIVE: To assess the impact of participation and consultation strategies on guideline question development. DESIGN: Instrumental case study design. SETTING AND PARTICIPANTS: This study used a clinical practice guideline in development by the American Acade…
How to identify, incorporate and report patient preferences in clinical guidelines
Physician behaviours that optimize patient‐centred care
BACKGROUND: No prior research studied how to implement patient-centred care (PCC) for migrant women, who face inequities in health-care quality. This study explored migrant women's views about what constitutes PCC and how to achieve it. DESIGN: We conducted a qualitative study involving three focus groups with migrant women living in Toronto, Canada, recruited from English language classes at a community settlement agency, used constant comparati…
Improving patient‐centred care for persons with Parkinson's
OBJECTIVE: This study explored how care partners (CPs) of persons with Parkinson's (PwP) are engaged in discussions of "off" symptoms. METHODS: During qualitative interviews, CPs of PwP sampled by convenience through the Michael J Fox Foundation online clinical trial matching service were asked to describe their familiarity with "off" symptoms, how "off" symptoms were discussed with clinicians, and the impact of "off" symptoms on them. Data were …

Research agenda for integrated knowledge translation (IKT) in healthcare
In the health sector, considerable resources are deployed for knowledge translation (KT) to ensure that stakeholders are aware of, and use research to inform policies, programmes and practices, leading to improved health.1 However, commonly used strategies, often based on one-way communication of research syntheses or summaries, have had inconsistent impact on the actual use of research and associated outcomes such as improved healthcare delivery…
Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) in health care
BACKGROUND: Integrated knowledge translation (IKT) refers to collaboration between researchers and decision-makers. While advocated as an approach for enhancing the relevance and use of research, IKT is challenging and inconsistently applied. This study sought to inform future IKT practice and research by synthesizing studies that empirically evaluated IKT and identifying knowledge gaps. METHODS: We performed a scoping review. We searched MEDLINE…
