Evaluating dementia home care practices
Gendered Processes in Hospice Palliative Home Care for Seniors With Cancer and Their Family Caregivers
There has been limited investigation into the processes that shape gender (in)equities in hospice palliative home care. As part of a larger critical ethnographic study, we examined how and why gender relations occur in this context. Using a critical feminist lens, we conducted in-depth interviews with clients living with terminal cancer, their family caregivers and primary nurses; observations of agency home visits; and review of institutional do…
The meaning of the experience of anticipating falling
Falling in later life continues to be a critical issue in gerontology research, health professional practice and ageing health policy. However, much research in the area of fall risk and fall prevention neglects the meaning of the experiences of older people themselves. This humanistic interpretive phenomenological study explored the meaning of the experience of anticipating falling from the perspective of older people in order to foster a more p…
Enacting Fall Prevention in Community Outreach Care
Despite increased international concern about fall prevention throughout the past 20 years, only limited attention has been paid to the experiences and perspectives of health care providers who deliver fall prevention programs. The purpose of this interpretive phenomenological study was to explore the meaning of the experience of enacting fall prevention, through individual semistructured interviews, among 6 members of an interprofessional geriat…
An evaluation of the effectiveness of engaging Canadian clients as partners in in-home care
This exploratory quasi-experimental evaluation assessed the effectiveness of the use of a concrete discussion guide to promote organisation-wide application of a partnering approach to engage older home-care clients with chronic disease/disabilities as care partners. A post-test-only design with an independent pre-test sample was used to compare selected outcomes with those of standard in-home care. The theoretically informed discussion guide por…
Family caregivers' experience of in-home knowledge translation
Little attention has been given to approaches to optimize physical, social, and emotional health for those with disabilities. This is particularly so for the frail elderly, who experience chronic symptoms of urinary incontinence (UI), and their family caregivers. Although UI can be managed with conservative techniques, UI is a principal reason for the breakdown of family care arrangements and care recipient admission into long-term care
Health professionals' enactment of their accountability obligations
Living With the Health and Social Inequities of a Disability
Clients living at home with chronic disabling conditions together with their caregivers, service providers, and policymakers face major challenges in optimizing health care. In this critical feminist interpretive study we examined the experiences of women receiving home care for chronic disabling conditions. Five themes emerged: struggling with the embodied limitations of disabling chronic conditions; actively seeking health; struggling with serv…

Creating Understanding That Cultivates Change
Dissemination of research findings through the traditional vehicles of academic publication no longer fulfills funders' expectations. "Deliverables" now often include evidence of effect, or demonstrable change. This article describes strategies for intentional effort to create change in human behavior as an outcome of discoveries made through interpretive research. The approaches emerged from and are illustrated by one phenomenological study but …
