Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing Research Report 2020-2022

MEET THE DEANS

Around the world and here at home, the impact of a global pandemic on our mental health has been immense. While nurses and health care providers continue to face the challenges of burnout from a resourcestrapped health care system, and society as a whole is still reeling from living with uncertainty, researchers at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing have continued to excel as leaders in their fields of expertise, particularly in their efforts to address mental health.

In addition to understanding the impact of mental health challenges among various populations from youth to young adults and beyond, Bloomberg Nursing faculty are also exploring innovative and timely interventions to address mental health concerns with a goal of improving lives and our health care system.

You will find in our 2022 Research Report, nursing perspectives on research that are often overlooked, like the quality of palliative care for pediatric patients, the lack of research in student and youth mental health on an international scale, and the need for fundamental changes to the nursing workforce, to address the significant toll of bur nout.

For over a century Bloomberg Nursing has been a leader in nursing research because we do not shy away from the hard questions, we meet them and set out to solve them, boldly. As we emerge from this tumultuous time, our faculty will continue to position themselves at the forefront of ground-breaking and collaborative research that drives improvements in patient care and health outcomes, as we look to shape the future of nursing together.

MESSAGE

At the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, a driving force behind our innovative research, is a goal to improve health care and the lives of our patients. Our commitment to this goal, in particular in the area of mental health, is noteworthy.

For over two years, each of us has felt the difficult weight of the global pandemic, and there is no escaping the fact that mental health has become one of the greatest challenges facing society and the nursing workforce today.

In our 2022 Research Report, we are highlighting our world-leading research on mental health led by faculty members and students, who seek to bring to the forefront the often understudied and overlooked perspectives of various patient populations, including nurses themselves. As leaders, with expertise across the health care spectrum, Bloomberg nursing faculty and students are actively seeking bold solutions to some of health care’s most complex challenges, including mental health, both here in Canada and around the world.

PhD,

Our faculty members are striving to understand the mental health challenges facing society today, and to develop solutions; from using technology to analyze and improve sleep in children with life-limiting diseases, to providing a voice for nurses who are suffering the consequences of relentless waves of an infectious disease, to leading the University of Toronto’s Student Youth and Mental Health Research Initiative. Our report brings into focus the importance of a nursing perspective and the impact that Bloomberg Nursing research is having on improving mental health and patient outcomes across the health care system, shaping the future of nursing for the next generation.

BUILDING STUDENT MENTAL HEALTH RESEARCH ON A GLOBAL SCALE

Student engagement is an integral part of Associate Professor Kristin Cleverley’s research into student and youth mental health. For her, students are not just research participants, they are also partners in research design, and are currently helping shape the creation of one of the first global partnerships in student mental health research led by the University of Toronto.

Inlight, the University of Toronto’s Student Mental Research Initiative is chaired by Cleverley and aims to enhance student mental health and wellness in direct collaboration with students, institutions, and community partners through the creation of innovative and scalable research. In 2021, Cleverley received the prestigious Connaught Global Challenge Award from the University of Toronto as well the university’s inaugural Connaught Global Research Impact Program Award (C-GRIP), which supports international research mobility. The goal of the project is to address an existing critical gap in the field of student mental health research.

“Student mental health research in Canada is still in its infancy, and it is a shared global challenge,” says Cleverley, “what is exciting about Inlight and the Connaught funding we have received, is that we are able to create an international network of researchers with shared expertise, to move the science of student mental health forward.”

In partnership with international institutions such as King’s College London, the University of Sydney, and National Taiwan University, Inlight has fostered a global speaker series and global consensus conference to engage students first and foremost in high quality, impactful research that supports better student mental health on campus.

The purpose of this first phase of the funded project is to establish connections with global partners and lay the foundation for broader global research collaborations.

Rozina Somani, who is a member of the Global Student Working Group supporting the project, says the opportunities presented by phase one, including partnering with international researchers, has had a tremendous impact.

“As an international student, I have a unique perspective on the importance of accessible mental health services, and I understand the challenge that myself and my peers have faced throughout the COVID-19 pandemic,” says Somani, who is also a PhD student at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing pursuing a collaborative specialization in global health. “Being able to share

this knowledge with international partners to develop shared language and resources around mental health for students is momentous.”

The Global Student Working Group, with the support of the project Engagement Lead, Emma McCann, has been instrumental to developing the program’s successful global health speakers’ series. These virtual webinars share evidence-based knowledge and strategies around specific topics impacting students, such as classroom stressors, microaggressions, self-injury and self-harm.

The first of these events brought together researchers from over 25 countries.

Somani, alongside members of the Global Student Working Group from other partner universities, has had an integral role in co-designing the global consensus study to identify student mental health research priorities.

“Developing a shared understanding of what constitutes student mental health as definitions vary from country to country is so important,” says Somani. “With our continued focus on shared engagement, we are able to create a foundation from which we as researchers can build from.”

In phase two of the Connaught funded projects, the focus will turn to bolstering international research exchange with students from partner universities being welcomed to U of T and vice versa, allowing students to share their expertise on an international scale. The exchange program aims to be launched in the Spring of 2023.

McCann describes the underlying principle of phase two as one that recognizes students are part of a shared global community.

“Many of the challenges we have in supporting mental health is a shared challenge,” says McCann. “Recognizing that our students belong to a global community means that we also need shared solutions.”

In preparation for these international exchange opportunities, McCann and the global student working group are also co-designing e-modules that will serve as key preparations for international research exchange opportunities. These modules will feature components that help users gain a better understanding of mental health on campus, and as with everything being done through Inlight, are designed in collaboration with members from all partner universities. These e-modules can be taken by staff, faculty and researchers who want to gain a better understanding of the shared challenges facing students and their mental health.

“The beauty of this project is its true global reach,” adds Somani. “The creation of a foundation of knowledge and the engagement of multiple collaborators, including students from various disciplines, allows us to have a true global perspective.”

Cleverley notes that these emerging international partnerships will have a profound impact on scaling up current work around student mental health, and will transform the way we understand and support student and youth mental health, leading to high-impact and long-term global outcomes.

“We are in the midst of codesigning evidence-based solutions and recommendations with, and for, students,” says Cleverley. “Students are our future researchers; they are our future mental health leaders.”

The beauty of this project is its true global reach”

SLEEP DISTURBANCES IN CHILDREN WITH CYSTIC FIBROSIS

AND THE IMPACT ON THEIR MENTAL HEALTH

Asking about someone’s sleep habits can help health care providers better understand a person’s mental health. According to Robyn Stremler, professor at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, asking about sleep can be a less stigmatizing way to inquire about a patient’s mental health, which can often lead to important discussions around stress, insomnia, and a range of issues that could be impacting a patient’s quality of life.

Stremler, who is also an adjunct scientist at SickKids hospital, is a sleep expert. Her research explores whether certain groups, such as infants, children in hospital, adolescent youth, and individuals who are postpartum, experience poor sleep. This key and often understudied perspective can help health care providers create targeted interventions to prevent poor mental health outcomes. In 2019, Stremler developed the SOmNI Sleep app, a mobile platform that aimed to help teens improve their sleep goals and overall health using wearable technology. Stremler’s objectives for focusing on sleep are many and include its profound correlation to a person’s mental health and wellbeing.

“There is considerable research showing that missing out on sleep increases your risk of developing anxiety or depressive symptoms,” says Stremler. “When we set out to understand sleep and sleep disturbances in certain populations, we are also looking at ways in which interventions might improve sleep to have a positive impact on a patient’s life.”

In an upcoming study Professor Stremler’s PhD student Jordana McMurray will be using actigraphy, a wearable device worn on the wrist to measure sleep, in adolescents and young adults with cystic fibrosis (CF). CF is the most common life-limiting genetic illness in Canadian youth and is caused by a mutation in the gene responsible for coding the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. Lack of this protein affects many systems

in the body but most significantly affects the lungs and gastrointestinal tract where loss of CFTR function results in the production of thick mucus secretions.

“Improving our understanding of what sleep is like for those with CF, and including reasons for sleep disturbance, will give us a better sense of whether early interventions to improve sleep are needed” says McMurray, whose background as an RN, is in pediatric respiratory medicine at SickKids Hospital.

In her clinical work, McMurray witnessed a stark contrast in the sleep patterns of her pediatric CF patients, compared to patients with other respiratory disorders. This difference spurred her to consider exploring sleep in CF patients as part of her doctoral work.

Early in her PhD, McMurray conducted a systematic review looking at actigraph or self or parent-reported sleep for children and youth with CF, and found evidence of objectively measured sleep disturbance and poor self or parent-reported sleep quality in this population. The review also found 13 factors associated with poor sleep, including an association with poor mental health.

The review also revealed limitations including the lack of comparative studies and poor quality of current studies, stressing the need for additional high-quality comparative studies to better understand sleep and factors affecting sleep disturbance in this population. McMurray’s review also recommended that associations between sleep and mental health be further explored because the prevalence of anxiety and depression is significantly higher in CF populations.

McMurray’s exploratory study will aim to better understand sleep and sleep disturbance in those with CF compared to a healthy control group and will also examine relationships between sleep disturbance and symptoms of anxiety and depression in adolescents and young adults with CF.

McMurray points out that “sleep and mental health are inextricably intertwined, and we do not often pay enough attention to this relationship.”

“Patients with CF are facing a life-limiting and serious illness, so their sleep is very often overlooked,” says Stremler. “However, Jordana’s research may provide evidence that earlier interventions in this group could help with their mental health and overall quality of life.”

To assess sleep and wakefulness, McMurray will use an actigraph device which contains an accelerometer and can determine how often the participant moves. A specialized computer program will then use an algorithm to assess minute by minute when sleep is taking place.

“One of the great benefits of using actigraphy, is that the device can be worn for longer periods of time, and we can

capture typical or usual sleep as it occurs daily compared to what might be assessed in a sleep lab,” says McMurray. In addition to this captured data, participants will also be provided with a number of self-reported questionnaires on sleep and symptoms of anxiety and depression. Interviews with CF participants will feature prominently to incorporate their voices and obtain a nuanced understanding of sleep in this population.

“From a research perspective, we have some good, established interventions that can improve sleep,” says Stremler, “therefore, if we see a relationship between poor sleep and higher rates of anxiety and depression for school aged youth, we can consider managing that concern earlier in order to ensure they have the best quality of life.”

THE QUEST FOR GOOD PEDIATRIC PALLIATIVE CARE

International study aims to find core indicators to measure quality pediatric palliative care

Associate Professor Kimberley Widger has a lifelong vision, that any child diagnosed with a life-threatening condition, should receive optimal pediatric palliative care, in their location of choice, regardless of whether they survive or die from their condition. Her previous research has shown that not every child or family receives this kind of care, and that is concerning, particularly because of its potential impact on mental health.

“Good pediatric palliative care is family-centered, meaning it supports not only the child but the family as well,” says Widger who is also an Adjunct Scientist, and Nursing Research Associate with the Pediatric Advanced Care Team (PACT) at SickKids Hospital. “Recognizing that the family will live with the memories of their child’s illness and death for the rest of their lives is an important consideration from a mental health perspective, and something I hope to impact as a result of my research.”

Widger is currently launching an international study to identify the most important indicators of quality pediatric palliative care from the perspective of over 100 health professionals and 100 ill children and family members. The goal for Widger and her team of international researchers, will be to define from a large list, a core set of indicators that can be used across the field of pediatric palliative care research and clinical care, to measure the quality of care.

“We often look at what is easy to measure as opposed to what is most important to measure,” says Widger. “In the case of palliative care, we often measure the location of death, for example, as an indicator of quality of care, but that is likely not the best indicator of care quality for children.”

While Widger notes that 70 per cent of adults are cited as wanting to die at home, the statistics for children vary significantly. What Widger thinks will likely be observed from her study is that quality of life, managing symptoms, and providing tools to address anxiety and depression in family members will be considered far more important indicators of care quality.

Widger and her team will use an online survey called a Delphi study, translated into English, French and Spanish to elicit perspectives from around the world,

asking parents, children, and health care providers to rate the importance of over 100 quality indicators gathered from previous research. Those deemed critically important will be shared with study participants, who will also be asked to complete a Discrete Choice Experiment to create a ranked list of quality indicators. From this list, a core set of the 15 to 20 most important indicators will be identified for use in research and practice to assess care quality.

“The best kind of evidence to guide practice,” says Widger, “is a systematic review that combines results across many different studies, but that only works if everyone is measuring the same thing in the same way. This study will identify what should be measured.”

Widger’s future work will examine how to measure each indicator with a goal of advancing the field’s body of knowledge and research evidence to get better information about what is and is not working well in the field of pediatric palliative care.

Despite the likelihood that quality of life will be an important indicator of quality care, there is currently no good tool available to assess it in this population.

“Existing tools tend to focus on functional ability like walking to school or having trouble concentrating, but for seriously ill children they may be more concerned with feeling ‘normal’, maintaining relationships or being with people they care about,” says Widger. “That is important to take note of and include in how we measure and maximize the child’s quality of life.”

Children receiving palliative care are a challenging population to study. Obtaining the child’s perspective on the care they receive is often difficult because they may be either too sick or not have the cognitive ability to answer questions.

It is a challenge, too, for parents, who may be at their most vulnerable time, but are often willing to talk about their experiences to make things easier for other families.

Widger’s passion to make pediatric palliative care better stems from her early career experience working with a physician who had been providing palliative care for many years. She recalls seeing that care in action, and seeing it done well, changed her perspective on what

palliative care should and could be.

“Most care providers do not know what excellent pediatric palliative care is or the difference it can make for families until they have seen it. From our previous research, we know that is often true for parents as well, who may not know that better or different care is available to meet their needs,” says Widger

Her study will aim to alleviate this kind of guessing game, by actively assessing care and seeking ways to ensure patients are receiving the highest caliber of care available. This in turn will have a direct impact on supporting positive mental health outcomes for the entire family.

“To me, that is what palliative care is about, creating the best possible experience for people going through a terrible situation,” says Widger. “I hope my research will continue to have an impact on the way care is assessed and provided to ultimately have a positive impact on the rest of the life of the family, including their physical and mental health.”

Good pediatric palliative care is family-centered, meaning it supports not only the child but the family as well.”

POSTPARTUM DEPRESSION IN FATHERS

WHY IT MATTERS

Cindy-Lee Dennis, a professor at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, has been studying the impact of postpartum depression on parents and children for much of her career. Evidence from her research has shown that maternal mental health and now paternal mental health, both have a significant impact on child developmental trajectories.

In a recent pan-Canadian study, published in the journal Depression and Anxiety, Dennis who also holds the Women’s Health Research Chair at the Li Ka Shing Knowledge Institute at St. Michael’s Hospital, recruited 2,500 fathers in the first three weeks after the birth of their child and followed them for two years, to closely examine paternal mental health in the postpartum period.

The results found that 22 per cent of first-time fathers experienced high rates of both anxiety and depression at some point in the first year of their child’s life.

“Fathers matter too,” says Dennis. “We now have very good evidence that paternal mental health not only influences child development, but that there is also a strong relationship between maternal and paternal mental health, placing children at even greater risk if both parents are mentally unwell.”

Dennis’ study looked specifically at the comorbidity of anxiety and depression, where fathers experienced both conditions at the same time, and found rates were higher than expected, with one in four fathers reporting comorbid symptoms. The researchers also found that those at the highest risk of experiencing comorbidity had a previous history of mental health concerns, including reporting anxiety during the pregnancy, depression prior to the pregnancy, adverse childhood experiences and intimate partner violence.

“Mental health is often a chronic condition that reoccurs during stressful life events such as the birth of a new baby. Fathers who experience comorbidity are at higher risk of being treatment resistant and

are more likely to have suicidal thoughts than fathers who only experience one condition,” says Dennis. Currently in Ontario, it is recommended that mothers are screened for depression and anxiety both antenatally and postnatally. If they have symptoms, they are referred for a more detailed psychological assessment. The same should happen for fathers, argues Dennis, as part of standard care.

“If a mother is experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety then her partner should also be considered at high risk of experiencing mental health concerns and screened,” says Dennis.

One of the key recommendations from Dennis’ study is to expand mental health services to operate through a family-centered approach, where pre and postpartum screening as well as education about mental health symptoms, including where to seek assistance, are provided to both parents.

Through future research, Dennis hopes her work will assist in the development of evidence-based guidelines and interventions that emphasize familycentered mental health care. The goal Dennis says, is to break down the wall of stigma that persists around paternal mental health, with many fathers not realizing that what they are experiencing is common.

“A lack of awareness and traditional socializations around strength and weakness in men, all play a part in this lack of recognition around paternal depression and anxiety,” says Dennis. “We need to be sending the message to fathers that many struggle with the transition to fatherhood and that is ok -- support is available.”

If a mother is experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety then her partner should also be considered at high risk of experiencing mental health concerns and screened.”

MORAL

NURSING DURING COVID19

Professor Elizabeth Peter ’s research is centered on understanding the moral conditions of nurses’ work environments using ethical and philosophical concepts as analytic lenses. Her approach aims to provide a deeper understanding of the ways in which political and institutional policies, as well as societal events, can impact the role of nurses, their environment, and their ability to provide care.

“I’m propelled to understand the conditions of people’s work, what constrains them, and what supports them ethically,” says Peter. “Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as an ongoing and significant crisis within nursing, impacting the profession on a global scale.”

In early 2020, Peter was a successful recipient of the University of Toronto’s, Toronto COVID-19 Action Initiative Grant, a fund of over $9 million aimed at accelerating support for high-impact research related to the COVID-19 pandemic. Peter’s goal was to investigate how nurses were coping in multiple settings, including long-term care, with the sudden arrival of this new and highly infectious disease.

“We chose to focus on long-term care because that is where the outbreak had the swiftest impact in terms of death and disease,” says Peter.

One method used as part of this four-part study, included interviews with Registered Practical Nurses (RPN’s), from across the province of Ontario, to gain a better understanding of what had occurred in long-term care settings and how it might be contributing to residents’ and nurses’ well-being.

Moral distress, as Peter describes it, occurs when it becomes difficult for an individual to uphold their ethical or moral responsibilities. In the case of these nurses, that included being able to provide a certain standard of care to their patients.

“We found in our results, that the majority of nurses focused quite heavily on the conditions of their work, describing it in one word as excruciating,” says Peter. Despite fear for themselves and this unknown virus, many of the study participants said they felt compelled to come to work, because of the deep bond they shared with residents and their families. But as the outbreak progressed, their distress heightened as they witnessed an untenable volume of their residents dying, while they themselves suffered from exhaustion.

“Many of these nurses felt that they could not provide an appropriate standard of care, and they were faced with further dehumanizing tasks like putting bodies in body bags, things usually funeral homes would do, without being able to grieve or even process the loss of these patients,” says Peter.

I’m propelled to understand the conditions of people’s work, what constrains them, and what supports them ethically,” says Peter. “Over the past two years, the COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as an ongoing and significant crisis within nursing, impacting the profession on a global scale.”

Professor Elizabeth Peter Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing

This volume of death and inability to grieve, alongside the chaos of a broken long-term care system are what Peter and her research team found to be significant contributing factors to multiple mental health concerns and decisions to leave the workforce all together for many nurses.

To address this real and significant challenge of mental health among RPN’s, Peter’s research builds on decades of nursing scholarship that points to the need for work environments to allow for nurses to meet their ethical responsibilities.

“Thirty years ago, moral distress may have arisen because of institutionalized hierarchies and a considerable lack of voice from nurses,” says Peter, “now it is primarily a result of a lack of resources, understaffing and aggressive treatment at end of life, that is contributing to moral distress among nurses, and an inability to meet the needs of patients.”

Some recommendations that have come from Peter’s recent research highlight the need for systemic change in long-term care after decades of neglect including increased funding, and improved staffing levels especially for regulated staff like RPNs, alongside an increased voice and appreciation of their role.

“We are also recommending that organizations and employers educate nurses about realistic moral ideals when in crisis situations and to support them appropriately,” says Peter.

What this means is that educators and regulators need to openly acknowledge that ideals around effective nursing care cannot always be met and that nurses cannot continue to care if they, themselves, are not cared for.

“When faced with circumstances and environments that are far from optimal, people, including nurses, can only do their best,” says Peter.

Moving forward, Peter will be undertaking a new study examining the ethical implications for nurses who are caring for patients who remain unvaccinated for COVID19, a particularly timely study given the continuation of the pandemic and successive waves of infection.

“The goal of the study will be to offer a framework to conceptualize nurse’s compassion and moral identity,” says Peter, “We aim to understand how we can support both nurses, their mental health and the health of patients, throughout the latter stages of the pandemic.”

ROSENSTADT RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

Launched in the Fall of 2021, the Rosenstadt Research Development Program provides funded research training opportunities to undergraduate and graduate (MN) nursing students during the academic year. Students are embedded into a faculty member’s research program, providing them with valuable skillsets in the field of nursing science.

Quinn Grundy, an assistant professor at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing has relished the opportunity to invite students from the Rosenstadt program to join her research activities. Grundy, whose research is centered on the interactions between nursing and medically related industry including pharmaceutical and medical device companies, finds that students she works with, are not only brilliant, but come with a diverse background of research experience.

“I learn from my students, just as much as they learn from me,” says Grundy. “The Rosenstadt Program really provides that opportunity to expose students to the kinds of research nurses are leading and gives them a sense of the range of work that nurses are involved in from bench to bedside, health system and policy work.”

Larkin Davenport Huyer, (BScN 22) chose to participate in the Rosenstadt Program because she felt that it provided her with a unique opportunity to combine her previous interests in examining upstream topics in health with hands on care. Having previously completed a master’s in public health prior to pursuing a nursing degree, Davenport Huyer was also well versed in understanding how important research is in creating change at the population level.

“One of the things that drew me to Quinn’s work in particular, was that it focused on how nurses, clients and patients as well as the culture of care they are exposed to,

can be shaped by corporations or health system policy,” says Davenport Huyer.

As part of Grundy’s program of research, Davenport Huyer was able to explore the role of the pharmaceutical company-employed nurse “ambassador.” These are nurses who are employed or contracted by pharmaceutical companies to provide medication-related care to patients who are prescribed complex, injectable medicines for chronic conditions. This might include teaching patients how to self-inject medication, on-call telephone support, or teaching strategies to help patients remember to take their medications. Grundy’s study was largely focused on the Australian health care system, but it has significant policy implications for Canada as well.

“I think we noticed that there was potential for this kind of practice to be harmful from a policy perspective as well as having direct implications for the client/patient,” says Davenport Huyer. “Because the nurse works for a corporation, this could mean the nurse “ambassador” is removed from a patient’s care team, and a host of concerns could arise around privacy and control of patient data.”

As a Rosenstadt student, Davenport Huyer was able to provide research support on a range of activities, with an opportunity to also emphasize her leadership capabilities. From writing grant proposals to data cleaning and analysis, her role has been instrumental to Grundy’s work. “I believe research is imperative for a career in health care,” says Davenport Huyer. “It allows you the chance to innovate and provide better care for populations.”

pain, and communication.

He is an avid supporter of the Rosenstadt Research Development Program because he has found that working with students like Sohee Kang (MN 23) brings not only new perspectives but also a sense of enthusiasm and vitality to research projects.

“The students in the Rosenstadt program are highly motivated to gain a greater understanding of research,” says Dale. “In the case of Sohee, our research was also highly relevant to the population she cared for in the ICU and allowed our team to think about the patient’s needs from a new lens.”

Dale recently conducted a study that evaluated the acceptability and feasibility of an appbased virtual care program for mechanically ventilated patients who live at home. During the acute stages of the pandemic, these patients who would normally come into hospital for regular clinic visits, could no longer do so and they were also at greater risk of serious illness if they contracted COVID-19.

As a result, the app-based program involving hospital-based respiratory therapists, nurses, and respirologists from across Ontario, was rapidly rolled out to mediate that gap in care. Dale and his

team evaluated the process and the perspectives of users and clinicians during that rollout phase.

“It was a really dynamic opportunity to be able to conduct this study as it was implemented, and to have a student with such a critical skill set like Sohee involved in the research process,” says Dale.

As part of her role on the research team, Kang helped with qualitative data analysis as well as coding and transcribing interviews with families and clinicians, looking for themes and patterns that could be discussed with the rest of the research team.

“It was something I was very interested in as I work with mechanical ventilators as an RN and I understand how family members who become caregivers need to adapt to using the equipment at home,” says Kang. “A lot of the feedback we received indicated that family caregivers and patients felt less isolated dealing with their care through the use of this virtual care program.”

In addition to maintaining a clinical connection for patients and family caregivers, the program particularly benefitted those who live outside of the greater Toronto or Ottawa area, allowing them to receive care without needing

to travel. For those who were being discharged from hospital to home, the transition felt less overwhelming knowing that this program was in place once they left the hospital.

“Many people shared with us that this virtual option was long overdue,” says Dale. “It was a welcome response in addition to receiving feedback on how to refine these tools to ensure that people who want them have access to these virtual care options.”

Throughout the study, what stood out for both Kang and Dale was the role of nurses in making this care program functional. The responsibility of managing the program fell to the nurse practitioner or respiratory therapist either as a sole or shared responsibility. It illustrated, according to Dale, that expanding the scope of practice for many health professions can improve access to health care services.

“Being involved in this research and investigating how we can improve healthcare access with both patients and clinicians in mind has been very rewarding,” says Kang. “The Rosenstadt Program has opened a lot of doors for me, and I’m really excited about what’s next.”

STRENGTHS-BASED APPROACH FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES

IN INDIGENOUS MEN, WOMEN AND TWO-SPIRITED INDIVIDUALS

Heather Burnside, a PhD candidate at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing and a member of the Saugeen First Nation, is examining gender influences and type 2 diabetes in Indigenous communities as well as the ways in which treatment and self-management of this chronic disease, can be inclusive of Indigenous knowledge and practice.

The focus on gender Burnside says, stems from the fact that not much is known about diabetes self-management in Indigenous communities, and that in nonIndigenous populations, type 2 diabetes is generally more common in men. However, recent evidence has shown that Indigenous women are developing type 2 diabetes at a faster rate than men.

Through the support of the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Transitions to Leadership Fund, Burnside will be working closely in collaboration and partnership with Indigenous communities in the Kitchener-Waterloo area to ensure that her research and the data collected, is meaningful to the community.

“Historically, research on Indigenous communities has included “helicopter research,” where nonIndigenous researchers have gone into communities, taken information

and data, without considering the priorities or needs of the population,” says Burnside.

To address this particular concern, Burnside is keenly focused on the knowledge translation component of her research. To present her research findings in a diverse way, Burnside is looking to expand beyond colonial thinking of how research should be shared, such as through traditional journal publications. Instead, Burnside has proposed the concept of a patient journey map, with the hopes of collaborating with an Indigenous artist, to showcase the data collected from the study visually, mapping the journey of men, women and two-spirited individuals, as they self-manage their diabetes.

“I’m always thinking about how to present information in the best and most useable way, how to disseminate the results of my work for people outside the academic community,” says Burnside. “I want not only to make this research accessible but to show Indigenous communities that they have the strength and the knowledge to manage their diabetes.”

“The strength of Heather’s research is that she is uniquely aware of the impact of a patient-oriented approach,” says Monica Parry, an

Associate Professor at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing and Burnside’s PhD supervisor.

“Her focus on bringing patient partnerships and collaborative community engagement to the forefront of her research will have a considerable impact on the knowledge generated and disseminated with Indigenous individuals living with diabetes.”

Burnside points out that there are many contextual factors surrounding the development of diabetes in the population she studies. Having worked as a rural nurse in an Indigenous community, she recalls having a heightened awareness around the impact of diabetes, where the disease can affect an entire family and not just the individual, from the family’s dietary patterns to their ability to access fresh food and appropriate and timely health care, particularly for those who must travel to larger urban centres.

“As Indigenous people, our kinship ties are strong, and we look at things from a broader community focus as opposed to a individualistic focus,” says Burnside, “I see this research as an opportunity to highlight the strengths of Indigenous communities and their knowledge, traditional healing and practice.”

SILENCING OF NURSING VOICES

Bloomberg Nursing PhD student Andrea Baumann wants to examine factors contributing to the systemic marginalization of nursing voices.

To understand this issue in the context of the COVID19 pandemic, Baumann with the support of a $105,000 grant from the Social Sciences and Humanities Council (SSHRC) Doctoral Fellowship, will interview individual nurses in the GTA about their experiences during the pandemic, and examine the impact of structural power inequities on their ability to provide care and work in a safe environment.

“The pandemic has shone a spotlight on the many preexisting challenges in health care.

One such issue pertains to the barriers that restrict nurses from speaking out,” says Baumann. “The ways in which nurses are silenced, can be perceived as a form of structural violence, and it affects not only nurses but the safety and quality of care of their patients as well.”

Pre-pandemic, research showed that nurses reported “feeling punished,” for speaking out. During the emergency phase of the pandemic it became common knowledge that nurses were dealing with unsafe working situations whether that was an inadequate supply of PPE, or other concerns about patient safety.

This persistent constraint on nursing voices reflects deeper issues within the organizational structure of health systems. Baumann describes the “normalization of the abnormal,” as a characteristic of the devaluation of nurses, and a precedent for the treatment of nurses from both a gender and race-based perspective.

“In Canada over 90 per cent of the nursing work force is female. Historically, this gendered aspect of the role means that the work of nurses has been imbued with the traditional female characteristics of caring, and has not been valued as highly as the contributions of historically male dominated professions such as medicine. I am curious about how this gendering of nursing work may have contributed not only to the subordination of the position, but also to the constraints against nurses’ ability to speak out,” says Baumann.

As part of her doctoral research, Baumann will draw upon historical examples of how the silencing of nursing voices puts patient safety at risk.

One such instance will reflect on the landmark case in Winnipeg in the early 1990’s where twelve children died due to complications from cardiac surgery. Though nurses had repeatedly voiced their concerns about the surgeon’s incompetence and the possibility of malpractice, they were consistently overlooked.

“This case was significant because findings of the inquiry recommended a review of hierarchy within that work environment and also that the perspectives of nurses be valued,” says Baumann.

“Of the many issues contributing to nurses’ inability to speak up and speak out, I feel that race is likely to be a strong indicator of whose voice gets heard,” says Baumann, “I want to bring this issue into focus by hearing directly from those who feel they are voiceless.”

The pandemic Baumann believes, has generated a form of currency for nurses that can be leveraged. Capitalizing on this increase in public interest and support that has not been seen since the 1918 flu pandemic provides an opportunity for nursing leaders and policy makers to create lasting change.

“I do hope that my study will be one contribution to building on this understanding of structural power inequities that either enable or constrain the ability of nurses to voice their concerns,” says Baumann.

“People are listening now, we need to raise our voices.”

This case was significant because findings of the inquiry recommended a review of hierarchy within that work environment and also that the perspectives of nurses be valued,”

EXPLORE THE ROLE OF PSW’S IN END-OF-LIFE CARE FOR LONG-TERM CARE RESIDENTS

Bloomberg Nursing PhD candidate Danielle Just received a grant from The Global Institute of Psychosocial, Palliative and End-of-Life Care (GIPPEC) at the Princess Margaret Cancer Centre, to support her doctoral research project exploring the role of personal support workers (PSWs) in end-of-life care in long-term care (LTC).

The goal of the project, which includes a virtual case study conducted in an Ontario LTC home, is to improve the quality of end-of-life care for LTC residents. While PSW’s remain an unregulated profession globally, Just’s study seeks to enhance knowledge about the role of PSWs in end-of-life care and inform future studies seeking to develop policies for education or clinical practice guidelines.

“Poor quality end-of-life care in LTC homes is a critical issue for Canada’s LTC system, this crisis has been

further amplified by the devastating impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and needs to be addressed,” says Just, who is completing her doctoral work under the supervision of Associate Professor Lisa Cranley. PSWs provide most of the daily care for LTC residents including end-of-life care. Just’s study will mark one of the first times to their knowledge, that PSW’s and LTC residents and family caregivers will be able to share their perspectives on the evolving role of PSWs in end-of-life care.

With the support of the GIPPEC grant, Just has been able to disseminate the results of her virtual case study and initial findings at two national conferences where she has had the opportunity to share the perspectives of multiple stakeholders on PSWs’ invaluable role in end-of-life care in LTC.

“End-of-life care requires an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to provide high-quality care to residents in LTC,” says Just. “It makes sense that to improve care, our research must also include an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach. I’m grateful to work with an expert team of interdisciplinary Canadian researchers on this project.”

EXPLORING LOSS OF DECISION-MAKING CAPACITY AND ACCESS MEDICAL ASSISTANCE IN DYING (MAID)

Caroline Variath, a PhD student at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, first became interested in understanding access to medical assistance in dying (MAiD) while she was providing end-of-life nursing care to incapacitated patients in acute and critical care settings.

“I noticed that some patients who were found to be eligible for MAiD were unable to access it because of a loss of capacity to consent,” says Variath. “So, I became interested in learning about the type of end-of-life care offered to these patients, which became the basis for my doctoral work.”

Variath received a $3,900 research grant in 2021 as well as approximately a total of $3,300 in knowledge transfer grants between 2021 and 2022 from the Canadian Association of MAiD Assessors and Providers (CAMAP) to explore the experiences of health care providers with eligible patients who experienced a loss of decision-making capacity while awaiting MAiD. Variath also wanted to understand the perspectives of healthcare providers on using the waiver of final consent amendment that was introduced with Bill C-7.

“The waiver of final consent amendment introduced with Bill C-7 offers eligible patients an opportunity to enter into an agreement to waive the final confirmation of consent, an option which minimizes their risk of becoming ineligible for MAiD due to a loss of decision-making capacity,” explains Variath.

The findings of Variath’s study will help, she says, to inform policies and guidelines on the implementation of the recent amendments to the Canadian MAiD legislation (Bill C-7) as well as help support the care of patients who were assessed and approved for MAiD but who later became ineligible because of their loss of decision-making capacity.

Variath notes that her research also has strong implications for policies on advance care planning and considerations to further expand access to MAiD for those with capacity limiting conditions.

“The generous support offered by CAMAP has allowed me to focus on my research and disseminate my findings widely through open access publications,” says Variath of the importance of the grants. “The support of my supervisor Dr. Elizabeth Peter has been integral to my research, and I hope to continue to advocate for the needs of patients and healthcare providers to improve end-of-life care.”

NEW RESEARCH INTO RECOVERY OF OLDER ADULTS AFTER SURGERY

In 2021, Associate Professor Martine Puts was awarded the Mid-Career Investigator Prize in Research in Aging by the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) for her project “The Frail sub-study of the Fit After Surgery.”

The $50,000 grant is awarded to the highest-ranked mid-career investigator, a significant achievement for Puts who is renowned for her work supporting older adults and their quality of care.

Using a mixed methods approach, Puts seeks to evaluate the functional recovery and care needs of older adults who undergo surgery, and will also include an evaluation of the needs of their caregivers. The goal of such a study, Puts says, is to establish how well older adults recover from major elective surgery, including measuring outcomes such as changes in their mobility, unmet needs, and hospital readmissions.

“We want to inform guidance around risk assessments for surgery in older adults by making sure we are measuring their quality of life during recovery,” says Puts. “There is currently very little evidence about how well older people recover and I believe it is important for patients to be aware of the recovery before they agree to surgery that could be life-altering.”

In Canada, the population of adults over the age of 80 is increasing steadily, with many in this age group being considered candidates for major elective surgeries including cancer and vascular surgeries among others.

“Previously patients over 80 would not have been considered for these surgeries,” says Puts, “however we now have people living longer, and surgeons need better guidelines when discussing treatment options with older patients which may or may not include surgery.”

Using an outcomes-based questionnaire, Puts and her team will look at the functional trajectory of older adults after surgery for a period of six months, which will include specific details about how they are managing at home and what kinds of support they are getting. They will also conduct a series

of phone interviews, as well as use a well-known concept in geriatrics called life space mobility, that will measure not only the mobility of patients and where they go, but also their psychosocial well-being.

“Often, when older adults do not feel well enough to leave the home, that can be an early predictor of poor outcomes,” says Puts.

There are options to support recovery such as pre-rehabilitation programs, nutrition programs, online support groups, and online exercise groups, however not all patients or their caregivers are aware or able to participate in them.

What is of the utmost importance according to Puts, is to use the findings from this substudy to determine where the gaps in care are and what needs are not being met for both older adults and their caregivers in order to design new interventions to improve well-being after surgery.

“We know from previous research that older adults prioritize maintaining their quality of life and cognitive function,” says Puts, “our study will aim to support them in making evidencebased decisions about their care plans and future.”

FIRST NURSE TO WIN SANSAR BURGUNDY YOUNG INVESTIGATOR AWARD

PROMOTING CARDIOVASCULAR HEALTH IN THE SOUTH ASIAN COMMUNITY

Salima Hemani, a PhD candidate at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, has become the first nurse to win the SANSAR Burgundy Young Investigator Award recognizing the impact of her research on the health of the South Asian community.

SANSAR, the South Asian Network Supporting Awareness and Research, focuses specifically on promoting cardiovascular health in the South Asian Community, through education, community awareness and research. Hemani’s own work has shown members of the South Asian community that it may be feasible to mitigate an early diagnosis of hypertension through education and awareness.

“I’m very hopeful that with this award, I will be able to carry this work forward and continue to use digital technology, mobile apps and more to make an impact with preventative strategies to reduce hypertension in South Asian communities,” says Hemani. “It illustrates the potential impact of research by nurses.”

Through a pilot prevention study aimed at examining the effect of community based low-sodium dietary interventions among hypertensive individuals in the regions of Markham and Scarborough, Hemani successfully implemented an education and awareness program aimed at reducing hypertension in participants over a period of six weeks. She also surveyed 354 South Asian Canadians and found that they had a mean sodium intake of 2.117+/1896 mg/day and that most respondents lacked sodiumrelated knowledge. To address this high-risk population, Hemani created virtual modules in collaboration with South Asian dietitians, to teach participants about cooking with low sodium options, reading labels to assess sodium content, and making small weekly changes to their diet to reduce their sodium intake.

“A lot of current materials about hypertension and prevention are not culturally relevant,” says Hemani, “They do not always account for the different types of foods and diets that people are used to consuming which is why we wanted to offer this very culturally specific approach.”

“Hemani’s research indicates the unique positioning of nurses to lead preventive strategies to decrease risk for

chronic diseases such as hypertension across racial and ethnic populations in Canada. These strategies can reduce inequality and improve health and wellbeing,” says Monica Parry, Associate Professor at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing and Hemani’s PhD supervisor. The virtual classes were successful for participants in terms of accessibility and acceptability. It leaves Hemani with the motivation to expand her program of research geographically and introduce in-person and digitally enabled options.

PHD CANDIDATE WINS JUDITH KAUFMANN AWARD

FOR HER EXPLORATION OF SYMPTOM MANAGEMENT FOR PATIENTS WITH HEMATOLOGICAL MALIGNANCIES

Bloomberg Nursing PhD candidate Julie Moore is the inaugural recipient of Sinai Health’s Judith Kaufmann Science of Care Internship. This award recognizes Moore’s doctoral research project which aims to understand the symptoms of critically ill patients with hematologic malignancies.

Her project will use a mixed methods approach to obtain data, including both qualitative and quantitative data that will come directly from patients.

“Giving these patient’s a voice and allowing them to tell us exactly what they experience and need is essential to improving their quality of life, and to the best of my knowledge, is the first time anyone has looked at symptom improvement in this critically ill population,” says Moore of the significance of her study.

Moore notes that prior to the 1990’s patients with hematologic malignancies were excluded from ICU’s globally, deemed “too sick” to benefit from ICU care. Decades later there have been significant advancements in diagnoses and treatment of this disease, and as a result patients are now not only receiving care in ICU but surviving their ICU stay as well.

During an ICU stay in hospital, patients, whether they have a hematologic malignancy or not, can experience an array of symptoms that include pain, dry mouth, dyspnea, nausea and vomiting, and delirium, all of which Moore indicates are unpleasant to experience. While a fair amount of research has been done to examine symptoms of the general population, it is not true of those with hematologic malignancies.

Knowing what this patient population experiences is imperative to providing personalized and targeted care while they are in the ICU, which

will improve not only their quality of life and care during their hospital stay, but also their quality of life once discharged.

“We know from previous research that symptom experiences in the ICU have a direct relationship with the quality of life of those patients in the future,” says Moore. “Addressing this gap in symptom knowledge will, I hope, be a significant contribution to the field.”

IMPACT SPOTLIGHT

The Centre of Excellence in Long-term Care

COVID-19 has drawn into sharp focus the challenges of caring for older adults in their own homes, as well as the systemic issues facing long-term care across multiple provinces. There is a clear opportunity for registered nurses, nurse practitioners and nurse researchers to lead in these settings, provide innovative care and leadership, and create a culture of teaching and learning.

Bloomberg Nursing at the University of Toronto is uniquely positioned to lead in investing the interdisciplinary research and scholarship required to address the complex health challenges of older adults and long-term care reform. Through the Centre of Excellence in Long-term Care, we will aim to help policymakers meet the needs of the older adult population and create a new future for long-term care needs including the perspectives older adults, their families and caregivers and healthcare providers.

As part of our new campaign Bloomberg Nursing will seek funding, additional and deepened research collaborations, and partnerships to maintain and expand its global leadership in gerontological nursing and to educate registered nurses and nurse practitioners to be ready to face the challenges of long-term care in the decades ahead.

Learn more about how you can support our campaign and the Centre of Excellence in Long-term Care by emailing alumni.nursing@utoronto.ca

Centre for Social Justice

At the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, we are committed to integrating equity and social justice into everything we do – whether that is educating the nurses of tomorrow, engaging in impactful research, and caring for our patients, their families, and our communities.

Through the proposed Centre for Social Justice, Bloomberg Nursing is well-positioned to lead in building a network of practitioners and scholars poised to make changes that will address social disparities, inside and outside the classroom, our healthcare institutions and our society.

Bloomberg Nursing will seek funding for the creation of a nursing-led, interdisciplinary team with shared perspectives from students, researchers, health care providers and patients, families and their communities, to explore the twin challenges of systemic discrimination in both the healthcare and healthcare education systems.

Learn more about how you can support the Centre of Social Justice by visiting: https://uoft.me/nursing-social-justice

Nurses are deeply entrenched in addressing some of the most pressing issues of our time. From navigating systemic discrimination in health care and barriers to health equity, to developing innovative and evidence-based strategies to improve quality and dignified care across the life span. Together we will reshape the future of nursing.”
