  • Attending to Power

    Open AccessAllison Cavanagh, Alice Cavanagh et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2025Referências: 36

    Intimate partner violence (IPV) is associated with a wide range of mental and physical health concerns. Research suggests that many physicians lack knowledge and skills to adequately respond to patients experiencing IPV. In order to better integrate physicians' contributions into intersectoral responses to IPV, we asked stakeholders with expertise and experience related to IPV about the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and behaviors they wanted them…

    Canadians' health outcomes are inextricably tied to social inequities. Family medicine is uniquely situated to provide care that addresses social factors through longitudinal knowledge of patients and the contexts of their lives. However, family physicians have come under increased practice demands shaped by neoliberal ideological structuring of health care, compounding difficulties in providing care for persons experiencing health needs related …

    INTRODUCTION: There is a growing role for patients, family members and caregivers as consultants, collaborators and partners in health system settings in Canada. However, compensation for this role is not systematized. When offered, it varies in both type (e.g., one-time honorarium, salary) and amount. Further, broad-based views of patient partners on compensation are still unknown. We aimed to describe the types and frequency of compensation pat…

  • Exploring meanings of expert and expertise in patient engagement activities

    Open AccessPaula Rowland, Pierre-Gerlier Forest et al.ARTICLESSM - Qualitative Research in…2023

    In this paper, we engage with claims of expert identities within the field of patient engagement. We do so through analysis of a subset of data collected as part of a 2020 pan-Canadian survey of patient partners. Our analysis is based on 446 qualitative responses to one target question: “Do you think the lived experience you bring to your patient partner role makes you an expert? Please explain in the box below”. Most respondents answered “yes” (…

    Open AccessManisha Pahwa, Allison Cavanagh et al.ARTICLEQualitative Health Research2023Citada por: 9Referências: 33

    Identifying and recruiting key informants is a widely used sampling strategy in applied qualitative health research. Key informants were first conceptualized within ethnography, but there is little methodological guidance about how to use this technique outside of that research tradition. The objective of this article is to offer practical suggestions about how existing methods for data collection with key informants could be translated to method…
