Neighbourhood Walking Experiences of People Living with Dementia and their Care Partners in Western Canada
My Opinion Matters Too! What Makes Patient Partners Feel Valued in Patient-Oriented Research? Learning From Patient Partners who Experience Barriers to Engagement in Healthcare and Research
Background In recent years, there has been an increasing shift toward more collaborative approaches to research, with greater inclusion of diverse patients and community members in the research process. However, further exploration is needed to understand the factors that contribute to research partners feeling valued within teams. Gaining this insight could help foster supportive environments that empower these individuals to meaningfully contri…
Negotiating Gender and Cultural Roles in Transnational Elder Care
This study explores how gender roles shape transnational caregiving among Nigerian immigrants between northern BC and Nigeria. It examines the persistence or renegotiation of traditional caregiving expectations and how carers navigate societal norms, professional roles, and personal motivations. It also investigates how the elder care recipient’s gender influences caregiving dynamics, including cultural taboos, communication, and family interacti…
Barriers and facilitators to neighbourhood navigability for persons living with dementia
To promote dementia-inclusive neighbourhoods, planners must develop a better understanding of the barriers and facilitators that shape the ability of persons living with dementia to participate in their community. This study pairs go-along interviews with a pedshed analysis to assess the navigability of neighbourhoods in Prince George, British Columbia. Findings reveal how neighbourhood planning has shaped a host of interrelated barriers and faci…
Sustainable implementation of a frailty education program for formal health care providers
Background: Frailty is a significant contributor to morbidity and mortality and places considerable strain on healthcare systems.

The Canadian Frailty Network's AVOID (activity, vaccination, optimization of medications, interactivity, diet) framework was released in 2019 to help prevent and mitigate frailty. An interdisciplinary team of health system le…

Strengthening multi-sector community driven team-based approaches to develop and implement sustainable supports
Background: In rural communities in Canada, community-driven initiatives commonly emerge to fill the gaps in health outcomes, lack of resources, and fragmentation of available supports. These community-based solutions, often rely on a limited number of community champions and localized organizations. These organically tailored community- specific initiatives address the needs of the community of focus with consideration of the unique environmenta…
Apathy in Older Adults With and Without Dementia
Despite the detrimental impact of apathy on the cognition, functional abilities, and quality of life of older people, it is often under-rated and under-managed. This integrative review provides a comprehensive overview of the barriers as well as potential facilitators to optimal care for older adults with apathy. A systematic search for relevant literature using Whittemore and Knafl’s framework was conducted to identify factors that inhibit or fa…
Use of Antivibration Technology to Reduce Demands for In-Home Nursing Care and Support in Rural Settings for Persons with Essential Tremors
Enhanced access to this technology may reduce the need for nursing and personal care support from the health system. Therefore the Steadiwear antivibration glove also shows potential to delay and/or prevent the need for more intensive support and mitigate the need for transition to a long-term care facility
Study Protocol of Implementation and Evaluation of Aging Home Modification Intervention Program (AhMIP) for Iranian Community-Dwelling Older Adults
Introduction With the rapid increase in the older population in Iran, the housing needs of this age group are also changing. The residential environment plays an important role in the ability of older adults to perform daily activities. This study will be conducted to implement and evaluate a home modification intervention program to support older adults
Qualities of the dying experience of persons who access medical assistance in dying
Defining a "good death" is complex and grounded in diverse cultural, social, and personal factors. Although there is a significant body of literature exploring the broad concepts of death and dying, there is a dearth in literature that has explored what constitutes a good death for persons undergoing assisted dying such as Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD). In this scoping review of 19 articles, we explore dying experiences and what a good death…
Protocol for A Mixed-Methods Study
Neighbourhoods are known to help maintain functional abilities and enable out-of-home activities and social participation for people living with dementia. Dementia friendly and inclusive communities (DFC) frameworks recognize the importance of developing supportive and empowering environments for people living with dementia and their families. Beyond the core objective of raising awareness and eliminating stigma associated with dementia, most DFC…

Participatory planning for the future of accessible nature
The health and well-being benefits of nature contact in parks and other forms of protected areas are now well established, but remain beyond the grasp of many due to century-old design legacies and inadequate investment in inclusive visitor services. This paper reports on lessons learned from an interdisciplinary workshop that brought together park agency staff, academics, and individuals representing accessibility organisations. The purpose of t…
Sharing Indigenous Knowledge through intergenerational digital storytelling
Within many First Nations communities, storytelling, led by Elders recognized as knowledge holders, is a deeply valued aspect of teaching and learning history, language, place, culture, and Indigenous Knowledge. The purpose of this study was to design and evaluate the first iteration of an intergenerational digital storytelling workshop that brought Elders and school children from a First Nations community in Canada together to co-create digital …
Intergenerational Effects on the Impacts of Technology Use in Later Life
As the use of technology becomes further integrated into the daily lives of all persons, including older adults, it is important to investigate how the perceptions and use of technology intersect with intergenerational relationships. Based on the international multi-centered study Technology In Later Life (TILL), this paper emphasizes the perceptions of older adults and the interconnection between technology and intergenerational relationships ar…
Community perspectives of end-of-life preparedness
While death is a universal human experience, the process of planning for death can be difficult and may be avoided altogether. To understand community perspectives of end-of-life preparedness, we undertook a multimethod study exploring the experiences of 25 community members and 10 stakeholders engaged in end-of-life planning. In addition, card sorting activities and focused discussions with 97 older adults were undertaken to highlight perspectiv…

From Needy and Dependent to Independent Homo Ludens
We began assembling this special issue because the use of digital computers for gaming (digital gaming) in later life has been rather underresearched, yet we know of a growing body of interested parties across the world starting to look into it and needed a place to bring it together. For this introduction to the articles on offer, we wanted to explore first why such a topic is so underresearched. We live in an aging society and in many nations a…
