“A constellation of ideas and practices”
Social transformation has been forwarded as a concept that can enhance the social responsiveness of occupational science and occupational therapy. This paper presents the findings of a conceptual review addressing how social transformation has been taken up in both fields. In stage one, we analyzed framings of social transformation in 26 peer-reviewed English, Portuguese, or Spanish-language articles published from 1997 to 2024. In stage two, we …
‘If there even is recovery at all … ’
In the field of youth concussion, there is relatively little knowledge regarding the concept of ‘recovery’ from the perspectives of youth themselves, resulting in an impoverished vision of what recovery ‘is’ (what recovery looks like, how youth understand their own recovery). We report on a multimedia storytelling study that partnered with youth living with concussion to explore their experiences and understandings of what is conventionally terme…
Something about an app, you know?’
While critical research focused on trans and nonbinary people's experiences with menstruation is growing, no prior work has examined how menstrual tracking apps shape experiences of menstruation within trans and nonbinary lives. Drawn from a larger feminist narrative inquiry study, the purpose of this research was to address this gap by examining six narrative accounts of menstrual tracking app use and non-use among trans and nonbinary people in …
The continuous learning needs of personal support workers who care for people living with dementia in long-term care
Personal support workers (PSWs) in long-term care (LTC) homes provide the most care to people living with dementia, yet receive the least education compared to other healthcare professionals. Informed by adult learning theory, this study investigated PSW perspectives of their dementia-specific learning needs while working in LTC. Interpretive Description guided the secondary qualitative analysis of focus groups with ‘mid-career’ PSWs (n = 39) in …

Composing adult lives with a ventilator at the intersection of developmental and neoliberal discourses of time
This paper explores temporalities and experiences of time drawn from an analysis of interview data from a critical narrative inquiry of the experiences of young adults living with home mechanical ventilation (HMV). The analysis centers the ideological effects of dominant discourses that shape understandings of time in the Euro-Western world and the ways in which young adults' stories prompt a rethinking of time in health research and praxis. Data…
Femtech in context
Emerging as a commercial category in 2016, 'femtech' has been publicly celebrated as a category of consumer-based digital health technologies designed to support the unmet and systemically marginalized health needs of women in areas such as menstruation, fertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and menopause, through data-driven apps, wearables, and self-diagnostic tools. Since its emergence, the term femtech has become culturally significant and has ta…
The representation of personal support workers in dementia-specific learning need assessments
In formal care organizations, personal support workers (PSWs) provide the most daily direct care to people living with dementia. PSWs receive the least comprehensive education and have the fewest opportunities for continuing education compared to nurses and physicians. PSWs need to be provided with opportunities for continuous education programs tailored to their specific learning needs to improve dementia car Conducted in accordance with the JBI…
We Live Our Life Normal”
This paper examined women's decision to seek or not seek care, the type of care they received, and where they went for care. Women felt that the COVID-19 pandemic affected their decision to seek or not seek care
Piloting a Virtual Arts-Based Methodology to Explore Children's Experiences of Chronic Pain
In the field of childhood pain, the knowledge and expertise of children has long been overlooked. Instead, adult knowledge has been privileged over child knowledge, despite contemporary understandings that the experience of pain is subjective in nature and can only be fully appreciated by the person experiencing it - regardless of age, stage, or status. In this paper, we report on a pilot study that combined virtual semi-structured interviewing m…
Working the Limits of “Giving Voice” to Children
Although claims to “give voice” to children through qualitative inquiry seem morally just and have been largely framed by good intentions, critical scholarship has called for reflexive reconsiderations of such claims. Re/presentations of voice permeate published accounts of qualitative research with children; similarly, voice is a term invoked frequently in qualitative research with informants of all ages. In this article, we follow Spyrou’s noti…

Interrogating inclusion with youths who use augmentative and alternative communication
Even as the goal of social inclusion underpins health and social services for disabled youths, those with communication impairments continue to lead narrowly circumscribed lives. In this Canadian study, we combined visual methods and interviews with 13 Canadian youths who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) to understand how they make 'practical sense' of discourses of inclusion. Drawing on Bourdieu's theory of practice, we sugge…
Group Peer Review
Invitation to review a manuscript for publication marks an exciting milestone in graduate and postgraduate students’ training. Yet, peer reviewing is seldom explicitly taught. First-time reviewers approaching this task often lack mentorship, guidelines, and confidence. The ongoing debate about how to judge the quality of qualitative research can further complicate the task. In this article, we introduce an innovative model for conducting group pe…
Integrating Visual Methods With Dialogical Interviews in Research With Youth Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication
Scant information is available to guide the selection and modification of methods for doing research with people with communication impairments. In this article, we describe and illustrate a novel combination of methods used to optimize data generation in research with 13 disabled youth who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Using a critical dialogical methodology developed for the study, we explored links between dominant call…
A Critical Dialogical Methodology for Conducting Research With Disabled Youth Who Use Augmentative and Alternative Communication
In this article, we present a theoretical examination of communication difference in the context of a critical qualitative study that explored "inclusion" with disabled youth who use augmentative and alternative communication (AAC). Drawing on Mikhail Bakhtin's dialogism, we articulate a novel critical dialogical methodology developed to rethink dominant understandings of voice, authenticity, and the autonomous participant. Case examples illustra…
Assembling activity/setting participation with disabled young people
Rehabilitation research investigating activity participation has been largely conducted in a realist tradition that under-theorises the relationship between persons, technologies, and socio-material places. In this Canadian study we used a post-critical approach to explore activity/setting participation with 19 young people aged 14 to 23 years with complex communication and/or mobility impairments. Methods included integrated photo-elicitation, i…
Children and Youth With Disabilities
There is a paucity of explicit literature outlining methods for single-interview studies with children, and almost none have focused on engaging children with disabilities. Drawing from a pilot study, we address these gaps by describing innovative techniques, strategies, and methods for engaging children and youth with disabilities in a single qualitative interview. In the study, we explored the beliefs, assumptions, and experiences of children a…
