Toward an Integrated Framework in Health and Human Rights Education: Transformative Pedagogies in Social Medicine, Collective Health, and Structural Competency.

Global health equity is at a historically tenuous nexus complicated by economic inequality, climate change, mass migration, racialized violence, and global pandemics. Social medicine, collective health, and structural competency are interdisciplinary fields with their own histories and fragmentary implementation in health equity movements situated both locally and globally. In this paper, we review these three fields' historical backgrounds, theoretical underpinnings, and contemporary contributions to global health equity.

Rethinking global health from south and north: A social medicine approach to global health education.

This study examines efforts to integrate social medicine into global health education and its potential to guide the new practice of structural competency. The methods employ participant observation and interviews with program coordinators and participants in a social medicine course. Areas of success included: pedagogical innovation, conscientizing course participants, decentralising global health practice, and promoting reflexivity.

Does problem-based learning in Nursing Education Empower Learning?

In this discussion paper, we explored our experiences with the integration of problem-based learning and use of evaluation tools in an undergraduate nursing research class. Six content areas in the course were adapted to problem-based learning. Understanding of concepts and being able to link concepts to the real world of practice can be achieved when nursing students actively engage to construct and reconstruct their knowledge.

Exploring healthcare providers' perspectives of the paediatric discharge process in Uganda: a qualitative exploratory study.

Introduction: The burden of childhood mortality continues to be born largely by low-income and middle-income countries. The critical postdischarge period has been largely neglected despite evidence that mortality rates during this period can exceed inpatient mortality rates. However, there is a paucity of data on the paediatric discharge process from the perspective of the healthcare provider.

Home First: Exploring the Impact of Community-based Home Care for Older Adults and Their Family Caregivers.

Given the rapidly expanding older adult population, finding health care approaches that support older adults to age in their choice of place, with an accompanying philosophical re-orientation of health services, is becoming more urgent. We studied the Home Care Home First - Quick Response Project to understand how clients over age 75 and their family caregivers perceived the enhanced community-based services delivered through Home First. Using interpretive description as the methodological design, we explored the experiences of eight older adults and 11 family caregivers; all older adults were enrolled in Home First due to a significant change in their health status.
