Exploring Shared Implementation Leadership of Point of Care Nursing Leadership Teams on Inpatient Hospital Units: Protocol for a Collective Case Study.

Background: Nursing leadership teams at the point of care (POC), consisting of both formal and informal leaders, are regularly called upon to support the implementation of evidence-based practices (EBPs) in hospital units. However, current conceptualizations of effective leadership for successful implementation typically focus on the behaviors of individual leaders in managerial roles. Little is known about how multiple nursing leaders in formal and informal roles share implementation leadership (IL), representing an important knowledge gap.

A visionary platform for decolonization: The Red Deal.

In this study, we discuss the colonial project as an eliminatory structure of indigenous ways of knowing and doing that is built into Canadian social and health institutions. We elaborate on the role nursing plays in maintaining systemic racism, marginalization and discrimination of Indigenous Peoples. Based on historical practices and present-day circumstances, we argue that changing language in research and school curriculums turns decolonization into what Tuck and Yang call a 'metaphor'.

Holistic Supports for Street Nurses and Front-line Workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

Street nurses who serve people experiencing homelessness and substance abuse are at risk of vicarious trauma and long-term mental health challenges. These risks have increased during the COVID-19 pandemic due to a concomitant spike in opioid overdoses and deaths in Canada, fewer available support services and worsening social challenges. This article describes innovative interdisciplinary and participatory research currently being undertaken to develop and evaluate a multifaceted support program to promote the holistic well-being of street nurses and their front-line colleagues.

Using the performance arts to address a "methods gap" in dementia research.

Introduction: Traditional methods of research have frequently failed to accommodate the communication difficulties experienced by a significant proportion of residents living in long-term care. In dementia research, specifically, there is cause for more collaborative, creative ways of working.

Methods: The Linking Lives Through Care study is a performance-based narrative inquiry that will take place in a long-term care setting and will bring together all three members of the care triad - residents who are living with dementia, family members and personal support workers - to explore relational care from multiple positions and perspectives.

The Role of Nursing Leadership in Ensuring a Healthy Workforce in Corrections.

In Canada, responsibility for corrections is divided between federal, provincial and territorial governments, with nurses being the largest group of healthcare professionals working in correctional institutions (penitentiaries, jails, prisons, correctional centres and secure correctional treatment centres) across the country. Correctional institutions are among the most challenging workplace settings for nurses, as they face competing tensions between the provision of quality care and strict security requirements for safety. They also experience unique workforce issues with high reports of burnout and emotional exhaustion.

Violence and Health Promotion Among First Nations, Métis, and Inuit Women: A Systematic Review of Qualitative Research.

Indigenous women experience a disproportionate burden of intimate partner violence (IPV) compared to other women in post-colonial countries such as Canada. Intersections between IPV and other forms of structural violence including racism and gender-based discrimination create a dangerous milieu where 'help seeking' may be deterred and poor health outcomes occur. The aim of this review was to explore the perspectives of First Nations, Métis and Inuit (FNMI) women living in Canada about how violence influenced their health and wellbeing.
