This study explores how individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) come to identify themselves as candidates for medical care, using the newly developed Candidacy 2.0 model. extends original Framework by emphasizing role of embodied intersectional relational self in healthcare access, providing a theoretical framework that transcends specific systems. Through semi-structured interviews 33 living RA across six Canadian provinces, we examined experiences, social identities, and contexts shape...
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease that primarily diagnosed and managed by rheumatologists; however, it often primary care providers who first encounter RA-related symptoms. This study developed validated case definition for RA using national surveillance data in settings. cross-sectional validation used structured electronic medical record (EMR) from the Canadian Primary Care Sentinel Surveillance Network (CPCSSN). Based on reference set generated EMR reviews five...
To identify how patients with osteoarthritis waiting for and recovering from total knee arthroplasty (TKA) conceptualized participated in physical activity behaviors their rural setting to gather perceptions of health care professionals rehabilitation decision-makers on the feasibility a remotely led coaching intervention.Using qualitative descriptive study, we collected data three stakeholder groups: or TKA (interviews), delivering intervention cohort (focus group), leaders involved...
Abstract Objectives Although it is well-known that chronic diseases need to be managed within the complex biopsychosocial framework, little known about role of sociodemographic features in adults with whiplash-associated disorders (WAD) and their association health outcomes. The aim this study was investigate between various (age, sex, ethnicity, education, working, marriage, caring for dependents, use alcohol drugs) outcomes (pain, disability, physical/mental health-related quality life)...
To promote rural practice and increase enrollment in the entry-level Master of Science Physical Therapy program at University Alberta, Department developed a physical therapy satellite campus located farming region central Alberta. A distributed learning format was used to connect cohort main urban campus. Real time video conferencing two campuses for all lectures, seminars clinical skills classes. This evaluation aimed describe unique training students its effectiveness promoting work...
Abstract The Inverse Care Law, positing that those most in need of healthcare are least likely to receive it, continues describe persistent health inequities among older adults with chronic conditions. This study introduces Candidacy 2.0 (Chronic Condition (CC)), an innovative framework designed unravel the complex mechanisms these access for diverse adult populations. Using Critical Interpretive Synthesis, we analyzed qualitative and mixed methods literature on rheumatoid arthritis...
Few validated tools exist for measuring physical activity following total knee arthroplasty (TKA) despite the importance of returning to sufficient levels post-TKA achieve health benefits. This study examined validity two clinical measures-the Fitbit, a commercially available personal monitor, and Community Healthy Activities Model Program Seniors (CHAMPS), self-report questionnaire-compared with reference standard accelerometer, SenseWearTM Armband (SWA). At 6-month post-TKA, 47...
Background In spite of known detrimental effects physical inactivity and sitting, little is about levels activity (PA) sitting in adults with chronic whiplash associated disorders (WAD) their on health outcomes.
