As the number of trans people seeking gender-affirming care (GAC) continues to increase globally, it is increasingly important to understand the experiences of this patient population to improve healthcare delivery and ensure identified needs are being met. This qualitative descriptive study describes the experiences and perspectives of trans people (age 18-34) accessing GAC in Manitoba, Canada based on data obtained from semi-structured focus groups and individual interviews ( = 10). Three major themes were identified to capture key elements of seeking GAC: (1) the transition decision, (2) the transition process, and (3) barriers to receiving desired care. In each major theme, subthemes were described. In addition to providing insight into critical aspects of this journey, this study also highlights the importance of including a diverse variety of perspectives when considering the design of healthcare services for the trans community.

The Possibilities of Observational Research in Workplace Learning: The Case of Video-Reflexive Ethnography.
Clin Teach
February 2025
Centre for Research in Assessment and Digital Learning, Deakin University, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Objective: This paper, using video-reflexive ethnography (VRE) as a case study, explores the prospects for and possibilities of observational research in workplace learning.
Methods: Focusing on VRE methodology and drawing on its principles of care, collaboration, exnovation (paying attention to existing strengths) and reflexivity, we elaborate the prospects for and scope of possibilities for observational research.
Results: VRE's flexibility and participatory nature enable researchers and participants to understand the complexities of learning in situ and the dynamic interactions between learning and work practice.
Through Their Eyes: Defining 'good life' in dementia for health economics and outcomes research.

Despite progress in involving people living with dementia in health research, disparities remain, particularly in the field of health economics and outcomes research, where excessive reliance on proxy reports from care partners or healthcare professionals persists even when people are capable of self-reporting, leading to inequitable inclusion. This study aimed to understand the concept of a 'good life' from the perspectives of people living with dementia and examine how well current preference-based outcome measures used in health economics and outcomes research capture these perspectives. Twenty-three community-dwelling people with mild to moderate dementia in Ireland participated in in-depth interviews (September 2022-February 2023).

This paper examines the evolution of policy perspectives towards informal care in Taiwan, focusing on the development of carer support services. It traces the transition from self-funded services by the Taiwan Association of Family Caregivers (a nonprofit organisation), to services funded by the government. Taiwan's approach highlights the considerable changes brought about by the implementation of the Long-Term Care Services Act which elevated the legal status of carers.

Effective antiretroviral treatment means that people with HIV are living for longer. This includes Black African women, who represent a large proportion of people aging with HIV in the United Kingdom. Despite this, the impact of living and aging with HIV on the well-being of Black African women aging with HIV has not been investigated.

Community health workers (CHWs) play a significant role in supporting health services delivery in communities with few trained health care providers. There has been limited research on ways to optimize the role of CHWs in HIV prevention service delivery. This study explored CHWs' experiences with offering HIV prevention services [HIV testing and HIV pre- and post-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP and PEP)] during three pilot studies in rural communities in Kenya and Uganda, which aimed to increase biomedical HIV prevention coverage via a structured patient-centered HIV prevention delivery model.
