A scoping review of the role of gender within speech-language pathology practice.

Purpose: The purpose of this scoping review was to explore the role of gender within speech-language pathology practice.

Method: A scoping review was conducted using the Arksey and O'Malley's framework. Comprehensive and systematic searches of four international databases were conducted.

The effects of self-management interventions on depressive symptoms in adults with chronic physical disease(s) experiencing depressive symptomatology: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

Background: Chronic diseases are the leading cause of death worldwide. It is estimated that 20% of adults with chronic physical diseases experience concomitant depression, increasing their risk of morbidity and mortality. Low intensity psychosocial interventions, such as self-management, are part of recommended treatment; however, no systematic review has evaluated the effects of depression self-management interventions for this population.

Exploration of Gender-Sensitive Care in Vocational Rehabilitation Providers Working With Youth With Disabilities: Codevelopment of an Educational Simulation.

Background: Although research shows that there is a need for gender-specific vocational support to help youth with disabilities find employment, health care providers often report needing more training in this area. Currently, there are no existing educational simulations of gender-sensitive care within vocational rehabilitation for clinicians who provide care to youth with disabilities. Therefore, developing further educational tools that address gender-sensitive care could help them enhance the care they provide while optimizing patient outcomes.

The training needs for gender-sensitive care in a pediatric rehabilitation hospital: a qualitative study.

Background: Gender is an important social determinant of health; however, clinicians often lack training in how to provide gender-sensitive care. Offering appropriate and relevant training could help to address some gender-based health inequalities. Our objective was to identify and describe the training needs for gender-sensitive care among pediatric rehabilitation healthcare providers.

Understanding clinicians' strategies for providing gender-sensitive care: an exploration among pediatric rehabilitation health care providers.

Purpose: Although there is an increasing awareness of the critical role of gender within pediatric rehabilitation, little is known about the strategies that clinicians use to provide such care. The purpose of this study was to explore clinicians' strategies for providing gender-sensitive care within a pediatric rehabilitation hospital.

Methods: We used a qualitative needs assessment design and a convenience sampling strategy to recruit clinicians from a pediatric rehabilitation hospital.

Challenges with providing gender-sensitive care: exploring experiences within pediatric rehabilitation hospital.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the perceived challenges with providing a gender-sensitive care approach among pediatric rehabilitation care providers.

Methods: Using a qualitative needs assessment design and a purposive sampling strategy, we recruited clinicians from a Canadian pediatric rehabilitation hospital. We conducted interviews with 23 pediatric rehabilitation healthcare providers (19 women, 3 men, 1 transgender man) from a range of disciplines.

Assessing the environmental quality of an adapted, play-based LEGO robotics program to achieve optimal outcomes for children with disabilities.

Purpose: This study assessed the environmental quality of an adapted, play-based LEGO robotics program for children and youth with disabilities to determine the degree to which the activity setting supports the therapeutic goals of the program.

Materials And Methods: We measured the environmental qualities of a robotics program held at a paediatric rehabilitation hospital. We observed and coded video-recordings of the robotics program, specifically one session from each of five different rooms where the program took place.

Measures of Workplace Inclusion: A Systematic Review Using the COSMIN Methodology.

Purpose To systematically assess the measurement properties and the quality of the evidence for measures of inclusion or exclusion at work. Methods Comprehensive searches of five electronic databases were conducted up to February 2019. Eligible studies aimed to develop a measure of workplace inclusion or exclusion or assessed at least one measurement property.

Electronic Mentoring Programs and Interventions for Children and Youth With Disabilities: Systematic Review.

Background: Children and youth with disabilities experience many challenges in their development, including higher risk of poor self-esteem, fewer friendships, and social isolation. Electronic mentoring is a potentially viable approach for youth with disabilities to access social and peer support within a format that reduces physical barriers to accessing mentors.

Objective: Our objective was to synthesize and review the literature on the impact of electronic mentoring for children and youth with disabilities.

New ways to get policy into practice.

Purpose: Health service effectiveness continues to be limited by misaligned objectives between policy makers and frontline clinicians. While capturing the discretion workers inevitably exercise, the concept of "street-level bureaucracy" has tended to artificially separate policy makers and workers. The purpose of this paper is to understand the role of social-organizational context in aligning policy with practice.
