Article Synopsis
- - Interdisciplinary pediatric chronic pain programs are essential for treating complex youth with chronic pain, but nurses currently lack evidence-based support to guide their triage decisions, leading to potentially inefficient outcomes.
- - A qualitative study involving 12 nurses from different programs explored their decision-making practices and identified key themes: determinants influencing triage, the triage decision-making process, and external factors affecting these decisions.
- - The results underscore the complexity of nursing roles in triage and highlight the nurses' interest in implementing an evidence-based clinical decision support tool to improve the triage process and prioritize patients in need of interdisciplinary care.
Objective: To determine the impact of occupational therapy (OT) on the self-management of function, pain, fatigue, and lived experience for people living with rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
Methods: Five databases and gray literature were searched up to June 30, 2022. Three reviewers screened titles and abstracts, with two independently extracting and assessing full texts using the Cochrane risk of bias (quantitative) and Critical Appraisal Skills Programme (qualitative) tools to assess study quality.
Background: Applying the knowledge gained through implementation science can support the uptake of research evidence into practice; however, those doing and supporting implementation (implementation practitioners) may face barriers to applying implementation science in their work. One strategy to enhance individuals' and teams' ability to apply implementation science in practice is through training and professional development opportunities (capacity-building initiatives). Although there is an increasing demand for and offerings of implementation practice capacity-building initiatives, there is no universal agreement on what content should be included.

Methods: Persons living with RA partnered throughout this nested qualitative study. One-to-one semistructured telephone interviews were conducted with participants with RA between December 2020 and December 2021.
Objectives: Incorporating the perspectives of patients and public into the conduct of research has the potential to make scientific research more democratic. This paper explores how being a patient partner on an arthritis patient advisory board shapes the patienthood of a person living with arthritis.
Methods: An analysis was undertaken of the narratives of 22 patient research partners interviewed about their experiences on the Arthritis Patient Advisory Board (APAB), based in Vancouver, Canada.
