Growing evidence supports patient engagement (PE) in health implementation research to improve the quality, relevance and uptake of research. However, more guidance is needed plan operationalize PE before throughout process. The aim study was develop a logic model illustrating causal links between context, resources, activities, outcomes impact an programme.The Patient Engagement Health Implementation Research Logic Model (hereafter Model) developed using descriptive qualitative design with...
Individuals with complex care needs (CCNs) require more health and social services than the average population. These individuals have better outcomes if they access to integrated across settings sectors. Although promising research on is underway, efforts are typically not coordinated occur without patient partner involvement. The critical need for collaboration among stakeholders in this field prompted establishment of Centre Research Integrated Care (CRIC) 2018. CRIC a living laboratory...
Introduction: Case management (CM) is an effective integrated model of care for patients with chronic conditions and complex needs, given the focus on improving patient engagement in healthcare self-management skills. While CM often leads to positive outcomes, little known about factors which promote or hinder implementation. Objective: This study seeks examine facilitated hindered implementation a 12-month intervention primary clinics individuals report outcomes from perspective patients,...
Background: Realist synthesis is a comprehensive method of review for evaluating complex programs such as integrated models care. The first step the to clarify scope and explore existing theories in literature related targeted programs. aim elicit an initial program theory form context (C), mechanism (M) outcome (O) configurations, which serve reference model data collection analysis from studies included synthesis. Objective: To develop about scale-up care Study Design: This our realist was...
Schoolteachers can affect students' eating habits in several ways: through nutrition knowledge, positive role modeling, and avoidance of unhealthy classroom food practices. In this study, the attitudes, behaviors prospective teachers as determinants intended practices school environment its potential impact on were examined explored.One hundred three students (response rate 79%) enrolled final year a bachelor education program with at least 22 weeks practice teaching completed...
A 6-month-old girl with vomiting, hypotonia and motor retardation was found to have elevated blood lactate, pyruvate, branched chain amino acids associated ketoglutaric aciduria. The combination of a congenital lactic acidosis variant form maple syrup urine disease aciduria suggested defect single component, common pyruvate dehydrogenase, ketoacid alpha-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase. Dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase is the component (E3). three enzyme activities E3 activity were be reduced in liver...
Prince Edward Island adolescents' food use was examined, as were possible associations between and grade, sex, academic performance.Participants (n=325) purposively selected from four junior high schools. Dietary data collected using an adaptation of the 2003 Youth Risk Behavior Survey. Demographic information self-reported performance also assessed. Vegetable fruit (VF) milk scores created, multivariate analysis performed to identify which combination VF score, score predicted best.Mean...
Purpose: We explored parent and student perceptions of barriers facilitating factors influencing the implementation school nutrition policies (SNPs). Specifically, we focused on changes made to food environment acceptance those changes.
The study was conducted to identify the enabling and barrier factors in development of nutrition policies Prince Edward Island elementary consolidated schools.A document review in-depth interviews were with key stakeholders (n=12).Principals identified as important champions for change. Working group members created an interface between school world world, drew upon common philosophical ground work together lead change process. Successfully navigating process policy required building a case...
To assess the nutritional quality of lunchtime food consumption among elementary-school children on Prince Edward Island according to source consumed (home v. school).Students completed a record during an in-class survey. Dietary adequacy was assessed by comparing median micronutrient intakes with one-third Estimated Average Requirement; macronutrient were compared Acceptable Macronutrient Distribution Ranges. The Wilcoxon signed rank test used differences in nutrient consumed.Elementary...
Objective: To determine the relationship between risk of type 1 diabetes (T1D) and daily intake drinking water dietary components, including nitrate, nitrite, nitrosamines, during year prior to diagnosis.Methods: Controls (n = 105) were matched by age at diagnosis sex T1D cases 57) newly diagnosed 2001–2004. Food consumption was assessed using a food frequency questionnaire. Locally available samples foods tested for nitrosamine concentrations. Water determined through an additional...
Objective With the onset of COVID-19 pandemic, telehealth case management (TCM) was introduced in primary care for patients requiring by distance. While not all healthcare needs can be addressed via telehealth, use information and communication technology to support delivery has potential contribute with chronic conditions associated complex needs. However, few qualitative studies have documented stakeholders’ perceptions TCM. This study aimed describe patients’, providers’ clinic managers’...
We assessed principals' perceptions about the level of school nutrition policy (SNP) implementation in Prince Edward Island elementary schools, objectively evaluated how closely schools are following SNP regulations for types and frequency foods offered at school, explored beliefs key enablers barriers to implementation.Phase I involved a cross-sectional survey assessment perceived actual adherence components. Phase II included in-depth interviews explore factors influencing adherence....
To examine associations among diet quality and dairy group membership, membership duration non-member status for women school-aged children in rural Kenya.A cross-sectional survey, using chain referral sampling, was conducted indices prevalence of inadequate intake (PII) were estimated the 'estimated average requirement' cut-off point method from single 24 h recalls, a Kenyan nutrient database. PII compared members non-members membership-duration groups.Women (n 88), across groups (1-3, 4-6,...
