Objective: To describe the role of historical trauma and health-related behaviours among Two-Spirit and Indigenous lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and queer or questioning (2S/LGBTQ+) Elders and how the emergence of IHT and its guiding constructs could work to inform culturally responsive interventions for the study population. Method: IHT constructs were applied to historical trauma intervention tailoring among Indigenous 2S/LGBTQ+ Elders, including a relevant theoretical model. Results: Applying the IHT framework to Indigenous 2S/LGBTQ+ Elder interventions could be an effective pathway for understanding the population while helping to inform more culturally responsive health promotion efforts that will lead to wellness in later life. Discussion/Conclusion: The paper concludes with a discussion of how IHT helps to advance our knowledge about addressing historical trauma most responsively, along with future research recommendations.","PeriodicalId":302892,"journal":{"name":"Healthy Populations Journal","volume":"76 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139209512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The group met bi-weekly using a videoconferencing platform on internet-enabled tablets. Objectives: Our aim is to explain the process we undertook to virtually engage in priority setting to identify a research priority for the CBPR project. Methods: Co-researchers participated in 17 focus group discussions about barriers to managing diabetes while experiencing homelessness, following which they were asked to brainstorm responses to the question, “What would make it easier for people who are experiencing homelessness to manage their diabetes?” In subsequent meetings, the responses were grouped to form categories. From those, the group chose the priority using a modified nominal group process, which involved sequentially ranking, then rating the categories. Ranking involved picking 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th choices, and rating involved distributing 0 to 10 points amongst the categories.  Results: Seven categories were formed: Healthcare; Screening for Diabetes; Housing and Shelter; Access to Medications and Supplies; Healthy Food; Diabetes Awareness; and Diabetes Education. Among these, Diabetes Awareness was given the most votes during the ranking and the most points during the rating exercises. Therefore, this is the topic our research will be focused on. Conclusion: We will conduct research for the purpose of increasing diabetes awareness, among shelter staff specifically, and use forum theatre and a short narrative film to share the findings.","PeriodicalId":302892,"journal":{"name":"Healthy Populations Journal","volume":"38 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139211878","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Exploring the volume and type of unhealthy advertising in close proximity to schools: An audit of bus shelter advertising in one mid-sized Canadian city","authors":"Laura J Kennedy, Dan Steeves, Rose Walls, Hannah Pierce, Melissa Stoneham","doi":"10.15273/hpj.v3i4.11673","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15273/hpj.v3i4.11673","url":null,"abstract":"Background: Unhealthy advertising influences the attitudes and behaviour of children. Child exposure to products such as alcohol and fast food have been linked to adverse health problems, such as heavy drinking and obesity. Bus shelter advertisements are a potential exposure site for unhealthy advertising for children as they take municipal transit to and from school. This study explores the volume and type of unhealthy advertising at bus shelters within close proximity to schools in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. Methods: In Halifax, Nova Scotia, 55 bus shelters with advertising were within a 500-metre distance of an elementary, junior, or high school. Three audits occurred in October 2020 (Fall), January 2021 (Winter), and April 2021 (Spring). Advertisements were coded as unhealthy if containing alcohol or gambling promotions. Food promotions were classified as maximum (healthy), moderate, or minimum (unhealthy) nutrition. Results: In total, 319 bus shelter advertisements were collected across three audits. Of these, 14.4% of advertisements were unhealthy (n = 46), and less than 1% (n = 3) were classified as healthy. For the unhealthy advertising, 37.0% (n = 17) of advertisements promoted gambling, 32.6% (n = 15) advertised food, 21.7% (n = 10) advertised non-alcohol beverages, and 8.7% (n = 4) advertised alcohol. The majority of advertisements (n = 270; 84.6%) were classified as other. Implications: Children are potentially exposed to unhealthy advertising as they travel to and from school in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Further research is needed to understand how and when children are exposed to these types of advertising. Municipalities can consider implementing further bylaws and administrative orders that create supportive environments for children and youth.","PeriodicalId":302892,"journal":{"name":"Healthy Populations Journal","volume":"64 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139214942","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Infants diagnosed often require resource-intensive nursing care and are at risk for future complex health conditions. A shift in approaches to care for this population has been identified as a priority health care need across Canada. Objectives: This discussion paper aims to highlight the current shift in care for the NAS population, focusing on the Finnegan Neonatal Abstinence Scoring Tool (FNAST) and the Eat, Sleep, Console (ESC) model of care. Methods: A comprehensive search strategy was developed to explore the current trend in care for infants diagnosed with NAS: the transition from the FNAST to the ESC model of care. Four scholarly databases (CINAHL, PubMed, Cochrane, and Google Scholar) were searched. Relevant articles were critically analyzed for their implications on infant and family health, family experience, health system outcomes, and nursing practice. Discussion: In our review of the literature, the FNAST was the most used tool when caring for infants diagnosed with NAS. Although this tool has guided care for infants for decades, it presents some limitations, including subjectivity, invasive and lengthy assessments, and lack of collaboration. Many facilities across Canada are shifting to the ESC model of care as an alternative model. It has potential to address challenges of the care guided by the FNAST, with the ESC model emphasizing non-pharmacological care, a focus on the birth-parent–infant dyad, and dedication to a function-based assessment. Conclusion: Further efforts are needed to support the real-world implementation of evidence-based models of care for this population.","PeriodicalId":302892,"journal":{"name":"Healthy Populations Journal","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139212974","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

{"title":"Exercise Training Recommendations for Adults With and Without Chronic Disease to Improve Endothelial Health","authors":"Madeline E. Shivgulam, M. O'Brien","doi":"10.15273/hpj.v3i4.11717","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.15273/hpj.v3i4.11717","url":null,"abstract":"The endothelium is the innermost layer of the blood vessels and is responsible for the production of chemicals that are used to regulate arterial diameter in response to changes in blood flow. Dysfunction of the endothelium is a key precursor for cardiovascular disease. However, exercise training may mitigate this dysfunction and promote endothelial health. Therefore, this infographic illustrates findings from an umbrella review (review of reviews; 10.1007/s40279-023-01837-w) that investigated the impact of any exercise training intervention (intervention) on adults with or without chronic disease (population), with, or without a comparator group (comparison), on endothelial function (outcome) using evidence from 27 reviews, including 19 meta-analyses (5464 unique participants). Overall, the included reviews provided evidence that the type of training to optimally improve endothelial function may vary based on disease condition. Specifically, the evidence suggests that healthy adults benefitted most from high intensity aerobic training and/or more frequent low-moderate resistance training. In addition, adults with type 2 diabetes benefitted most from low-intensity resistance or low-moderate aerobic exercise training, whereas those with cardiovascular conditions (i.e., heart transplant patients, peripheral artery disease, heart failure, hypertension, and cerebrovascular disease) should consider engaging in higher-intensity aerobic training to improve endothelial function, although may still need to consult a healthcare provider. Exercise training also improves endothelial function in other chronic conditions including cancer and autoimmune rheumatic disease, but the evidence is insufficient to provide specific guidelines. Although insufficient data exists to determine specific intervention characteristics (i.e., frequency, intensity, type, time), this information provides a high level of evidence to support exercise training, including aerobic, resistance, and combined training as effective strategies to improve endothelial-dependent vasodilatory function in adults. These findings should help guide the design of specific exercise programs or recommendations.","PeriodicalId":302892,"journal":{"name":"Healthy Populations Journal","volume":"48 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139214200","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Such an understanding is imperative to providing adequate and well-informed health care to Indigenous populations residing on the land now called Canada. The Indian Residential School (IRS) system, which was in operation for over one hundred years, was one of the most violent colonial tactics implemented by Canada's federal government. This system was conceptualized to forcibly alienate Indigenous children from their families, communities, and culture to eradicate Indigenous culture and identity. Combined with witnessing violent acts perpetrated by colonizers against members of their community, the shared experience of being abducted from their families, and suffering physical, mental, emotional, and sexual abuse, led to widespread trauma amongst Indigenous people for generations. It is expected that such trauma has resulted in disruptions in attachment, social functioning and emotional development in individuals who survived the Indian Residential School system, thus potentially triggering a cascade of maladaptive, trauma-related behaviours through subsequent generations (termed intergenerational trauma). These writers recommend that healthcare providers consult a biopsychological framework when engaging with Indigenous individuals, especially Indian Residential School survivors and their relatives, as it emphasizes the multidirectional relationship between psychological, biological, and experiential factors implicated in an individual's well-being. Furthermore, such a framework may aid in contextualizing an individual's unique challenges within the broader scope of colonization.","PeriodicalId":302892,"journal":{"name":"Healthy Populations Journal","volume":"52 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139211186","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In most facilities, an outdated model of care is used to guide the care and assessment of babies diagnosed with NAS. Challenges with this outdated model have prompted the transition to a novel approach to care, the Eat, Sleep, Console model. Despite this promising intervention to improve patient and health system outcomes, little is known on how to effectively implement and evaluate the model in clinical practice. Objectives: We will conduct a scoping review to address the question, “How has the Eat, Sleep, Console model been implemented and evaluated in practice?”. Methods: We will follow the JBI methodology for scoping reviews and Arksey and O’Malley’s scoping review framework. Reporting will follow the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). Published and unpublished literature will be included in the review. The following databases and grey literature will be searched: MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL, PsycInfo, Google Scholar, and websites identified in a Google website search. Two independent reviewers will screen literature and extract data based on predetermined eligibility criteria and data extraction tools. We will narratively describe quantitative data, along with completing an inductive thematic analysis of qualitative findings. Furthermore, we will conduct a directed content analysis of qualitative findings using the COM-B model of behaviour and RE-AIM (reach, effectiveness, adoption, implementation, and maintenance) framework. We anticipate findings will be used to support future implementation of the Eat, Sleep, Console model into clinical practice, including subsequent evaluation of implementation.","PeriodicalId":302892,"journal":{"name":"Healthy Populations Journal","volume":"12 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139213879","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Previous research has identified a range of positive outcomes as a result of exercise for most populations; however, the current understanding of the exercise outcomes for adults from 18 to 65 years and older adults over 65 years with visual impairment is limited. Objective: The proposed scoping review aims to allow a better understanding of current exercise outcomes for adults (including older adults) with visual impairment. This protocol enhances the research quality and the transparency of the proposed scoping review. It pre-defines the objective and methods of the scoping review, including details of the criteria of inclusion and exclusion for evidence sources and the way the data will be identified, extracted, and presented. Inclusion criteria: Articles involving participants with visual impairment aged 18 and over will be the focus of the proposed scoping review. All English-language peer-reviewed studies with a focus on outcomes of exercise programs and interventions for adults with visual impairment, including quantitative, qualitative, and mixed methods study designs, will be considered. In order to make the result more applicable for future research and practice, studies published from 2000 to present will be included, given consideration of the changing concept and format of exercise since 2000. The exercise-related programs and interventions to be included can be delivered via any format in any geographical area. Methods: The search strategy will aim to locate all eligible published studies in the following databases: Ovid MEDLINE, Embase, CINAHL Complete, PsycInfo, AMED, and SPORTDiscus. Full text review will be undertaken of articles that meet criteria on initial review of title and abstract. Reference lists and citations of studies selected for full text review will be further reviewed to identify any additional studies that meet inclusion. Data from the selected studies will be extracted and tabulated based on the exercise and the key findings relevant to the research question. Findings from this scoping review will be presented as a summary of the data from the selected studies in a tabular form, which will categorize exercise outcomes and the corresponding exercise along with a narrative summary. Conclusion: It is expected that the results of this scoping review will enable a better understanding of exercise for adults with visual impairments and inform future exercise programs for adults with visual impairment.","PeriodicalId":302892,"journal":{"name":"Healthy Populations Journal","volume":"135 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139214173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
