Implementing a Modified Delphi Method for DNP Curriculum Revision
Background: In the United States, accredited nursing programs must align their Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) curricula with the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) Essentials , necessitating a shift to a competency-based curriculum and the adoption of structured approaches to curriculum redesign. Revising a DNP curriculum across 12 baccalaureate nursing to DNP specialty programs and two postmaster's DNP programs presents challen…
Mapping Caregiver Needs’ Assessment Tools for Family and Friend Caregivers
Existing caregiver needs' assessment tools inadequately support routine, system-integrated caregiver-centered care. Advancing caregiver-centered practice requires tools that explicitly elicit caregiver-defined support needs and are designed for workflow integration, longitudinal use, and interdisciplinary care pathways
Alberta Family Caregiver Strategy and Action Plan
Family caregivers provide up to 90% of care in Alberta's communities and play an essential role in sustaining the province's health and social care systems, yet they remain under-recognized and insufficiently supported. To address this gap, we co-designed the Alberta Family Caregiver Strategy and Action Plan (2024-2025), a provincial framework developed through participatory research and collective impact methods. Guided by principles of co-produ…
The Hidden Workforce
Family caregivers are unsung heroes of Alberta's healthcare system, providing essential care to individuals with chronic illnesses, disabilities, and age-related challenges. An estimated 26% of Albertans provide unpaid caregiving, contributing millions of hours annually—work valued at $11 billion, about one-third of Alberta’s health spending. Family caregivers increasingly take on complex medical tasks traditionally performed by healthcare profes…
Family Caregivers as Care Integrators
Background: Family caregivers provide 70–90% of health and support services to individuals living with serious illnesses in the community, yet they remain undervalued and overlooked by health, social, and community care systems. Barriers to caregiver integration include challenges in identifying caregivers, communication and information-sharing issues, time constraints, and cultural and trust barriers. This workshop highlights successful Canadian…
Equipping Change Agents
Family caregivers provide most daily care for people living with chronic illness or frailty, yet they remain under-recognized in health and social care systems. To address this gap, we co-designed the Caregiver-Centered Care Champions Education Program, which equips frontline providers with the competencies needed to lead caregiver-inclusive change. Guided by the Kirkpatrick-Barr Health Workforce Education Framework, we conducted a mixed methods …
Special Interest
Background- Person centred care, care that recognises and honours the unique experiences and conditions of patients, caregivers, families and community is a core component of the quintuple aim but remains poorly understood and seldomly actioned within and across the health and social care systems. Why are we conducting this meeting? At the International Conference on Integrated Care this past spring in Belfast, Northern Ireland we launched a Spec…
Taking a Collaborative Approach to Build a Better System to Support Alberta’s Family Caregivers
Family caregivers, the largest and often invisible care workforce, provide 90% of care and face significant challenges. This session highlights Alberta's efforts to create an integrated care system, involving caregiver and patient voices, building health and community partnerships, and fostering caregiver-friendly workplaces and policies
Creating Health and Wellbeing through Integrated Care
The International Foundation for Integrated Care Canada (IFIC Canada) will be hosting the second North American Conference on Integrated Care in Canada in October 2024 (NACIC24). The goal for the conference is to advance the knowledge and capability around four strategic themes to advance health and wellbeing through the advancement of integrated care. In this 90-minute workshop, we will explore and co-design the themes for the NACIC24 conference…
Family Caregivers as Care Integrators
Introduction: Practice guidelines and professional competencies recommend including family caregivers as true/valued partners in care teams, but care teams find it difficult to integrate family caregivers into the healthcare team. We define family caregivers broadly as caregivers, carers, unpaid or informal caregivers, care partners, chosen family, friends, or neighbors who support people who need care for mental and/or physical illnesses, disabi…
Putting Person Centred Care into Action
Health systems globally are striving to advance the quintuple aim of better patient and caregiver experience, better provider experience, better population health, lower cost (or better value for what we spend) and a focus on equity. One of the most neglected and least understood parts of this framework is improving patient and caregiver experience. Person centred care – care that sees a health service user as a full person with individual desire…
Caregiver-Centered Care
Family caregivers are the largest care workforce. Besides providing 90% of the care, they are conduits of critical information about the patient and the de facto care coordinators in siloed health and social care systems. It is well established that family caregivers require support to reduce stress, anxiety, and burden caused by caregiving demands and that health providers should consistently recognize and include family caregivers as partners o…
Building a Better System to Support Family Caregivers
The current Canadian healthcare workforce shortage and care crisis demands innovative solutions, yet it takes 17 years for healthcare innovations to reach 50% adoption in clinical practice. Healthcare workforce shortage solutions include expanding team-based care, moving integrated services closer to home[, and including Family Caregivers [FCGs] as partners on the care team, rather than treating them as visitors or patient accompaniments. Integra…
Family Caregiving during the Covid-19 Pandemic in Canada
Family caregiving is a public health issue because of caregivers' significant contribution to the health and social care systems, as well as the substantial impact that giving and receiving care has on the health and quality of life of care receivers and caregivers. While there have been many studies that associate caregivers' care work, financial difficulty, navigation, and other caregiving factors with family caregivers' psychological distress,…

A Tale of Two Solitudes
We surveyed 604 family caregivers residing in the province of Alberta to better understand the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on anxiety, loneliness, and care work. We assessed anxiety with the Six-Item State Anxiety Scale and loneliness with the DeJong-Gierveld Loneliness Scale. The COVID-19 pandemic created two contexts giving rise to feelings of solitude for family caregivers. Family caregivers of Albertans living in private community homes w…
Family Physician’s and Primary Care Team’s Perspectives on Supporting Family Caregivers in Primary Care Networks
A plethora of research and policy documents recommend proactive, consistent support for family caregivers, yet comprehensive caregiver support policy remains elusive. The continuity of care makes primary care an ideal setting to support family caregivers. Now policy-makers must develop consistent protocols to assess, and care for family caregivers in primary care

Support for family caregivers
Caring takes a toll on family caregivers throughout the care trajectory (Steppacher & Kissler, 2018). Family caregivers often report worsening health and stress/distress (Bauer & Sousa-Poza, 2015; Richardson, Lee, Berg-Weger, & Grossberg, 2013). Family caregiving has become more onerous as illness, frailty and impairments become more severe, but in the last two decades medical advances, increased longevity, shorter hospital stays and the push for…
Developing person‐centred care competencies for the healthcare workforce to support family caregivers
Family caregivers (FCGs) are an integral part of the healthcare system. Currently, FCGs provide 70%-90% of the care required by community-dwelling children and adults living with complex chronic conditions and frailty. Despite FCG's contributions and the growing proportion of distressed caregivers, support for FCGs has not been a health system priority. Researchers have proposed training to enhance the competencies of health providers to work eff…
Marriage after the transition to stroke
In health and chronic illness, satisfying marriages promote wellbeing and life satisfaction, yet stroke research has focused on either the stroke survivor as the patient or the spouse as a care-giver. Using Pope, Mays and Popay's framework for synthesising qualitative and quantitative methods, we conducted a systematic review and synthesis of 39 peer-reviewed studies to determine what happens to marital relationships after one partner has suffere…
Considering Material Culture in Assessing Assistive Devices
This paper reports on a project that looked at the meaning stroke survivors assigned to assistive devices. Material culture theory served as a framework to help stroke survivors explicitly consider [dis]ability as a discursive object with a socially constructed meaning that influenced how they thought about themselves with impairment. Material culture theory informed the design (taking and talking to their peers about photos of anything that assi…
Supporting parents of Aboriginal children with asthma
Asthma is one of the most common chronic conditions affecting Aboriginal children and adolescents in Canada, with associated high rates of hospitalization and emergency room visits. Social support deficits and social isolation pose significant problems for Aboriginal families coping with asthma challenges. However, support interventions that focus on the unique support needs of parents of Aboriginal children affected by asthma have not been inves…
Sudanese and Somali Refugees in Canada
The aim of the study was to identify the unique support needs and preferences of African refugees in Canada. In‐depth interviews were conducted with Sudanese and Somali refugees (n=68) living in two cities in central and western Canada. Refugees were interviewed individually to identify their support needs, current sources of support, available support programmes, barriers to access to support resources, and preferred support interventions. These…

Gender Differences in Patterns of Dynamic Cardiovascular Regulation
The purpose of this research was to examine the role of gender in hemodynamic response patterns to stress. Sixty-four male and 55 female young adults were administered a protocol of rest, mental arithmetic, video game, and anger recall interview while blood pressure, heart rate, and cardiac impedance measures were obtained. Men had higher levels of systolic blood pressure and cardiac output and greater reactivity to tasks, indexed by increases in…
