Background: 22q11 Deletion Syndrome (22q11DS) is the most common microdeletion syndrome with broad phenotypic variability, leading to significant morbidity and some mortality. The varied health problems associated with 22q11DS and the evolving phenotype (both medical and developmental/behavioural) across the lifespan can strongly impact the mental...
Background
Virtual nurse-led care models designed with health care professionals (HCPs) and patients may support addressing unmet prostate cancer (PCa) survivor needs. Within this context, we aimed to better understand the optimal design of a service model for a proposed nurse-led PCa follow-up care platform (Ned Nurse).
Methods
A qualitative desc...
BACKGROUND
Cultural adaptations of digital health innovations (DHIs) are a growing field. However, DHIs can increase health inequities. While completing exploratory work for the cultural adaptation of the Ned Clinic virtual survivorship application, we identified structural considerations that provided a space to design digitally connected and coll...
BACKGROUND
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed non-skin cancer for Canadian males, straining systems to provide care. Virtual care can be one way to relieve this strain, but survivors’ care needs and technology use are influenced by intersecting social and cultural structures. Cultural adaptation has been posited as an effective me...

Background
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most commonly diagnosed nonskin cancer for Canadian men and has one of the highest 5-year survival rates, straining systems to provide care. Virtual care can be one way to relieve this strain, but survivors’ care needs and technology use are influenced by intersecting social and cultural structures. Cultural...
Background: Prostate cancer survivors (PCa) can experience a range of unmet needs over a long horizon of survivorship. Thin healthcare services and specialist-led follow-up care models may not adequately address these needs. Digitally mediated nurse-led virtual care models may help support PCa survivors who have unmet survivorship needs in current...
Background: Approximately one in eight Canadian males will be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Longer survivorship horizons and resource constraints are leading to increasing strain on current models of specialist-led follow-up care delivery. Nurse-led digital health innovations can reduce demand on specialists if co-designed with health care profes...
BACKGROUND
The Covid-19 pandemic forced the spread of digital health to address limited clinical resources for managing chronic health conditions. At the same time, it illuminated the population of older patients who could not access this care without an informal caregiver (IC) due to accessibility, technological literacy, or English proficiency co...
Background
The COVID-19 pandemic forced the spread of digital health tools to address limited clinical resources for chronic health management. It also illuminated a population of older patients requiring an informal caregiver (IC) to access this care due to accessibility, technological literacy, or English proficiency concerns. For patients with h...
Caring for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) can cause an enormous physical and emotional burden, and therefore these parents have an elevated risk to experience mental health problems. The characteristics of current healthcare systems and parents’ responsibilities to care for their children seem to impede their access...
Background
Parents of children with intellectual and neurodevelopmental disorders are a highly burdened group that faces additional challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Methods
In this study, parents of children with intellectual and neurodevelopmental disorders (N = 600) living in Canada participated in a cross-sectional online survey.
Resul...
Background:
Parents of children with intellectual and developmental disorders often experience potentially traumatic events while caring for their children. Heightened posttraumatic stress (PTS) and posttraumatic growth (PTG) have been found in this population.
Objective:
We aimed to explore risk and protective factors for their PTS and PTG.
Me...
Background
Several risk and protective factors play a role in the development of posttraumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) in children and youth. The evidence for social support (SS) as a protective factor is rising; however, a review of the evidence is lacking.
Objective
This scoping review and meta-analysis aims to map out and synthesize the present...
Caring for children with special needs can cause an enormous physical and emotional burden, and therefore these parents have an elevated risk to experience mental health problems. The characteristics of current healthcare systems and parents’ responsibilities to care for their children seem to impede their access to mental healthcare. There is so f...
Parents of children with intellectual and developmental disorders (IDDs) often encounter parenting‐related traumatic events. Trauma exposure is a risk factor for mental health problems, including posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Little is known regarding the types of traumatic events that parents commonly experience and how to best assess pare...
BACKGROUND
Online Support Groups (OSGs) are distance-delivered, easily accessible health interventions offering emotional support, informational support, experience-based support, and companionship or network support for patients/caregivers managing chronic mental and physical health conditions.
OBJECTIVE
This study aimed to examine the relative c...
Background:
Online support groups (OSGs) are distance-delivered, easily accessible health interventions offering emotional, informational, and experience-based support and companionship or network support for caregivers managing chronic mental and physical health conditions.
Objective:
This study aimed to examine the relative contribution of ext...
Background
Parents of children with intellectual and neurodevelopmental disorders (IDD) often experience traumatic events in the care of their children. This leads to comparatively high numbers of mental health problems such as posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) in those parents. Intervention approaches for parents of children with IDD are scarce...
Along with the rapid technological developments in the past few decades, human work is becoming more knowledge-based, and professional expertise is becoming even more important. In this way, effective methods to retrieve and transfer such expertise are greatly needed. Prior research has found that pictures can be used as visual cues for supporting...
Background: The delivery of interventions for traumatic stress disorders by paraprofessionals is of interest across mental health systems as decision-makers work to meet growing need for services and demand for evidence-based care. Given the need for any system change to reflect scientific evidence, our scoping review aimed to identify and summariz...
