Information access and management to support community-dwelling older people with complex needs in the Maritimes
|
|
|
Older people are diverse with variations in health status, life experiences and exposure to environmental risks. This creates the need for individualized and complex support to enable community living. In the Maritimes, there is a range of supports and services available, but they come from various sectors, healthcare departments and community organizations and may not be available to every individual. These challenges have been noted not only by those supporting older people in the community but also across healthcare contexts such as primary care, acute care, non-profit organizations and home care.
In collaboration with the Maritime SPOR Support Unit, a stakeholder engagement meeting was held in June of 2024. The team has conducted a priority setting exercise and will be conducting pilot interviews with people working with older people in the community to support future applications for a larger project to improve communication to support older people living in the community.

Exploring how nursing programs prepare entry-level nurses to provide mental healthcare: A multiple case study in India, Oman and Canada
|
|
With the increasing rate of mental health conditions worldwide, it is important to have competent healthcare professionals, such as nurses, who can provide mental health care in a variety of settings. The primary aim of this study is to explore how nursing programs in India, Oman and Canada prepare entry-level nurses to provide mental healthcare.
Our team is collaborating with two international teams, one from India and one from Oman to understand the differences and similarities between entry-level nursing mental health education. This multiple-case study will gather data through (1) document analysis of curriculum overviews, course syllabi and provincial/national nursing competencies, and (2) interviews with practicing nursing, nursing instructors and nursing students.
Our goal is to build a partnership between schools of nursing in India, Oman and Canada that enables a comparison of three diverse mental health curriculums to develop knowledge related to improving structures and processes in all contexts.

People with Dementia’s Experiences of Primary Care: Exploring how collaborative family practice teams address the needs of people with dementia |
|
This CIHR funded project aims to explore the primary care experience in Nova Scotia from the perspectives of people living with dementia and their informal caregivers. Most research on providing support for people with dementia tends to exclude the voices of people with dementia themselves. This project is completing a scoping review to understand what evidence-based interventions are available to improve primary care for people living with dementia.
