Translating relational theories into dementia care using research-informed drama
Culture change initiatives in older adult and dementia care have called for a new care paradigm informed by a relational ontology and relational theories. Yet translating these humanizing principles into practice has proven difficult; traditional approaches to knowledge translation have not had a sustained impact. One of the most significant impediments to transforming the culture of care has been the lack of understanding of what it means to be …
Transitioning relational arts for persons living with dementia to a virtual space
This research demonstrates the feasibility of relational arts for PLwD in virtual spaces, and offers insights to inform other virtual art programs for PLwD and their care partners
Stigma associated with dementia among recreation and leisure studies students and professionals
Stigma negatively impacts quality of life of people living with dementia and their families and their interactions with others (e.g. community members, health and social care professionals). While recreation and leisure studies professionals play a key role in challenging this stigma by facilitating the engagement of persons living with dementia in meaningful activities in their communities, to date no study has explored stigma associated with de…
Creating Inter-Learning Connections
This paper explores an inter-learning teaching method designed and utilized by the authors in the Winter 2021 term for first- and upper-year therapeutic recreation (TR) students in an online platform. This collaborative teaching method sought to make intentional space for upper-year students to take the lead on and facilitate seminars for first-year students on topics aligned with their course content and case-study assignment. In this paper we o…
Insights from recreation and leisure practitioners regarding disparities of advancing long-term care culture change
Culture change in long-term care (LTC) signals a shift from a medical model of care to a social, relational model of caring to support the creation of strong compassionate communities and promote quality of life. Since leisure is a strong contributor to quality of life in LTC, researchers have argued that recreation and leisure practitioners have an important role to play in the culture change movement. In this paper, we describe Canadian recreat…
Disrupting dehumanising and intersecting patterns of modernity with a relational ethic of caring
Background: This article describes two dehumanising patterns associated with modern culture and their consequences of stigma and suffering for persons living with dementia: the increasing division, judgment and exclusion of persons based on difference, disability, and undesirability; and the increasing attention to management and control, and their links with ageism, healthism and consumerism. These patterns have been established in media, polici…
Raising the curtain on stigma associated with dementia
Persons living with dementia and their carers experience stigma. Stigma intensifies social exclusion and threatens health and well-being. Decreasing stigma associated with dementia is a public health priority across national and international settings and is a key component of National Dementia Strategies. Research-based drama is an effective public health strategy for reducing stigma and enhancing well-being. In this article we focus on survey d…
Picturing Leisure
Interviews and participant observation are commonly used to explore the experience of dementia, yet may not adequately capture perspectives of persons with dementia as communication changes. We used photovoice (i.e., using cameras in qualitative research) along with interviews and participant observation to explore meanings of leisure for persons with dementia. We discuss our photovoice process and the challenges we encountered, including ethical…
It was like reading a detective novel”
It is like stepping into another world
This paper highlights the possibilities for transformation that exist when a diverse group of participants interested in working together to change the culture of dementia care in long-term care and community care settings use appreciative participatory action research to guide their culture change efforts. These transformations happened throughout the culture change process using appreciative participatory action research. For instance, using ap…
Exploring meanings and experiences of wellness from residents living in long-term care homes
How wellness is understood and its links to leisure in the long-term care (LTC) context have been rarely considered, particularly from the perspectives of residents. Using participatory action research (PAR), this study addresses a gap in the literature by considering how residents conceptualise wellness and the links to leisure. The PAR team made up of residents, family members and staff within a LTC home collaboratively discussed how to best at…
A framework for creating a campus culture of inclusion
This study used a participatory action research (PAR) approach to unite key partners from the University of Guelph community in order to examine issues around accessibility and inclusion of students with disabilities in campus life. The goal was to develop a planning framework to assist universities in creating accessible and inclusive campus communities that supports not only students with disabilities, but all individuals who study, live, work …
Just dance with me
Most research on marginalised groups, including those living with illness or disability, continues to exclude those experiencing illness or disability from decision making in the research endeavour. This is particularly true for persons living with dementia, who are stigmatised, misunderstood and assumed to lack the capacity to actively participate in all aspects of the research process. In this paper, we provide a detailed account of one collabo…

The Experience of Engaging With Research-Based Drama
Researchers describe how audiences experienced a research-based drama called I'm Still Here ; a production about persons and families living with dementia. The research drama was created to help diminish the unnecessary suffering that accompanies the misunderstanding and judgment of persons living with dementia. This article describes the immediate experience of seeing, hearing, and feeling research findings that have been transformed through dra…

Leisure and Ageing Well
The world's population is ageing at unprecedented rates. Given the growth of the older adult population, it is not surprising that governments and policy makers in many regions throughout the world have been turning their attention to the implications of population ageing on social and economic development. More specifically, there has been much concern about the consequences of an ageing population on health care systems and costs and an emphasi…

Institution-Based Caregiving as a Container for Leisure
Guided by symbolic interactionism and the conceptual framework of the caregiving career, I set out to examine the institution-based caregiving context as a potential container for leisure. Specifically, I was interested in the conditions necessary for caregivers to experience leisure in their caregiving roles and the differences between those caregivers who experience leisure in their roles and those who do not. The data for this study came from …
Bittersweet Journeys
Research on leisure and caregiving has focused almost exclusively on caregivers providing care in the community. Guided by a symbolic interactionist approach and the conceptual framework of the caregiving career, the purpose of this study was to examine the meaning of leisure in the institution-based caregiving context. How family members define their roles and how those role definitions then influence the meaning of leisure was explored within a…
Naked Truths
In this article, I critically reexamine what it means to be a qualitative leisure researcher. Specifically, I discuss three areas in which I believe the influence of positivism has distanced and detached us, thereby threatening the quality of our work. I address our failure to recognize and account for the role that our human ''selves'' play throughout the research process and how those selves subsequently shape our products; our failure to recog…

An Examination of Relationship Between Psychological Well-Being and Depression and Leisure Activity Participation Among Older Adults
Previous research has suggested that leisure participation is positively related to an individual's physical well-being and overall life satisfaction, but has generally neglected its relationship to psychological well-being and depression. Older adults are most susceptible to declines in these psychological states because of the losses typically associated with the aging process. Therefore, in this paper, the relationships between leisure activit…

Resumption of role status through leisure in later life
The older adult population is more active and diverse than ever before. Meanwhile, societal expectations attached to the older person role have remained relatively static, reflecting an era of very different health and social conditions. Consequently, existing older adult role expectations are based on outdated images of older adult health and attendant lifestyle preferences, which influence the way in which human service organizations, including…
