Using arts-based methods to understand LGBT+ experiences of accessing the Brazilian health care system
All over the world, health care professionals continue to display discriminatory attitudes and behaviours towards LGBT+ people. This arts-based secondary analysis analyses the narratives of 116 LGBT+ individuals as they sought to navigate the Brazilian health care system. Participants described the health care they received as a form of erasure that was detrimental to their own perceived self-worth and overall health and mental well-being. LGBT+ …
The Development and Preliminary Evaluation of the “SPA‐LTC Voices” Video Series as a Means of Articulating a Palliative Approach in Long‐Term Care Settings
Palliative care has earned its place as a respected approach to medicine that focuses on quality of life, symptom management, a team approach, and family involvement, typically following the diagnosis of a life‐limiting illness. To improve health equity, it is important to encourage the adaptation of palliative care practice and philosophy beyond hospices and within a range of care settings. To support further adaptation in long‐term care, our re…
Conducting a Continuing Education Course for Healthcare Professionals on LGBT+ Healthcare Assistance Using a M-Health Solution: A Pilot Study
Addressing healthcare disparities within the LGBT+ community necessitates healthcare professionals (HCP) be better prepared to meet healthcare needs of diverse LGBT+ patients. This article aimed to verify the potential of an m-Health application "Over the Rainbow" to improve the knowledge of healthcare providers and evaluate user experiences of the app. We conducted a quantitative, pilot, and usability study involving healthcare students and prof…
Delivering person-centred palliative care in long-term care settings: Is humanism a quality of health-care employees or their organisations
Reflecting on sustained calls for patient-centredness and culture change in long-term care, we evaluated the relative importance of personal and organisational predictors of palliative care, hypothesising the former as weaker predictors than the latter. Health-care employees (N = 184) from four Canadian long-term care homes completed a survey of person-centred care, self-efficacy, employee wellbeing and occupational characteristics. Using backwar…
Enhancing nursing home care for seniors: Impact of a living classroom on nursing assistant’s education
Nursing Assistants (NAs) are the largest workforce in nursing homes, but often lack adequate preparation for their role. The Living Classroom (LC) is an integrated learning approach, whereby a NA program is delivered in a nursing home (NH) in collaboration with a community college. This paper describes the implementation and evaluation of the LC. Mixed methods were used to gather data from 48 NA students, 5 faculty, and 42 NH staff over 30 weeks.…
Mind the gap: Is the Canadian long-term care workforce ready for a palliative care mandate
The average expected lifespan in Canadian long-term care (LTC) homes is now less than two years post-admission, making LTC a palliative care setting. As little is known about the readiness of LTC staff in Canada to embrace a palliative care mandate, the main objective of this study was to assess qualities relevant to palliative care, including personal emotional wellbeing, palliative care self-efficacy and person-centred practices ( e.g. knowing …
Who would want to die like that?” Perspectives on dying alone in a long-term care setting
The discourse of dying alone is negatively weighted and models of a good death identify not dying alone as a key outcome. Understanding why dying alone is viewed negatively and its effects on care is a priority. In separate focus groups with long-term care residents, family caregivers, and staff, we identified evidence for four different perspectives on the importance of presence at the time of death. However, while each individual had their own …

Benefits for youth included developing new communication and career-related skills, improved attitudes toward older adults, and the development of meaningful relationships and friendships. Benefits for residents were engagement in activities with the students, enhanced well-…
Pathways to diagnosis: Exploring the experiences of problem recognition and obtaining a dementia diagnosis among Anglo-Canadians
Increasing evidence suggests that early diagnosis and management of dementia-related symptoms may improve the quality of life for patients and their families. However, individuals may wait from 1-3 years from the onset of symptoms before receiving a diagnosis. The objective of this qualitative study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of problem recognition, and the process of obtaining a diagnosis among individuals with early-stage de…

A Systematic Review of Practice Standards and Research Ethics in Technology-Based Home Health Care Intervention Programs for Older Adults
Objective: The purpose of the review is to assess frequencies of reporting adherence to professional practice standards and research ethics in studies of technology-based home health care programs. Methods: Key databases were searched to yield 2,866 abstracts that were independently rated by two reviewers using inclusion-exclusion criteria, resulting in 107 articles that were then reviewed for reports of practice standards and research ethics. Re…

Unfortunately, complete coverage was impossible, and we shall attempt to review research on areas not dealt with here in subsequent issues. The present array of papers, however, gives a reasonably comprehensive view of most of the major research on education with the exception of two large fields: primary and adult educat…
