Impact of physician's sex/gender on processes of care, and clinical outcomes in cardiac operative care: a systematic review.

Objectives: This systematic review aimed to assess the role of physician's sex and gender in relation to processes of care and/or clinical outcomes within the context of cardiac operative care.

Design: A systematic review.

Data Sources: Searches were conducted in PsycINFO, Embase and Medline from inception to 6 September 2018.

Sex/gender and additional equity characteristics of providers and patients in perioperative anesthesia trials: a cross-sectional analysis of the literature.

Sex and gender, among other equity-related characteristics, influence the process of care and patients' outcomes. Currently, the extent to which these characteristics are considered in the anesthesia literature remains unknown. This study assesses their incorporation in randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on anesthesia-related interventions, for both patients and healthcare providers.

Measuring the teamwork performance of operating room teams: a systematic review of assessment tools and their measurement properties.

Teamwork is fundamental to surgical patient safety but is inconsistently measured. While many tools have been developed for elective intraoperative situations, it is unclear which is the most robust. This systematic review aimed to identify tools to measure the teamwork of operating room teams.

Exploring stakeholder perceptions around implementation of the Operating Room Black Box for patient safety research: a qualitative study using the theoretical domains framework.

Background: Systematically observing clinical performance in the operating room (OR) to support patient safety initiatives faces numerous logistical and methodological challenges. These may be solved by new audio-video recording technologies like the OR Black Box, which is a tool similar to black boxes in aviation. This study aimed to identify barriers and enablers that may influence patients', clinicians' and senior leadership team members' support of the OR Black Box in order to guide its future implementation.

Exploring experiences with compulsory psychiatric community treatment: A qualitative multi-perspective pilot study in an urban Canadian context.

As medical, ethical and clinical effectiveness debates about the use of compulsory psychiatric treatment continues, it is important to further explore the actual experiences and perspectives of all relevant stakeholders in community treatment orders (CTOs). This qualitative pilot study engaged a total of twenty-seven clients, their family members, and care providers in Toronto, Canada. Semi-structured, one-on-one interviews were conducted between February and July 2013 and analyzed using thematic analysis.

Re-evaluating gender differences in self-rated health: The importance of cohort.

Research examining gender differences in self-rated health (SRH) has typically not distinguished between age and cohort-related changes in the health of men and women over time. Using longitudinal data from the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this study finds gender diffegrences in SRH may actually be an artifact of cohort. Prior to examining health across cohorts, women reported worse health than men.

Maternal factors and the emotional and behavioural functioning of adolescents with chronic health conditions.

Purpose: This study investigated the association between mothers' mental health and education and the emotional and behavioural functioning of adolescents with chronic health conditions over time.

Methods: Data were drawn from an ongoing study. Study participants (N = 363) were recruited through eight children's rehabilitation centres.

Race, Gender, and the Resources That Matter: An Investigation of Intersectionality and Health.

This study examined racial disparities in health among women, in particular, the relationship between social status and both the development of psychosocial resources and good health. These relationships were investigated using a sample of 869 women from the 2007 wave of the U.S.
