Une question fermée, dont les réponses étaient encodées sur une échelle de Lickert en quatre points a permis de mesurer la perception des acteurs sociaux engagés dans les développements physiques, moteurs et affectifs des participants. L’échantillon était composé de 102 acteurs sociaux sportifs, originaires du Maroc ou de l’Algérie âgés entre 9 et 64 ans. Les acteurs étaient des formateurs, des administrateurs, des pratiquants ou des parents. La question a fait l’objet d’une analyse de variance selon trois variables nominales (genre, statut, pays) et d’une corrélation de Pearson entre l’âge des acteurs sociaux et les trois types de développement souhaités. Il apparait que les développement physiques et affectifs sont perçus significativement plus difficile à évaluer par les acteurs sociaux marocains que par leurs homologues algériens. L’effet du genre n’est significatif que pour l’évaluation du développement affectif en faveur du genre féminin. Par contre, l’effet du statut de l’acteur social n’est significatif ni pour le développement physique, ni pour le développement moteur ni pour le développement affectif. Enfin, les ‘jeunes’ acteurs sociaux perçoivent moins difficile d’enseigner en mode synchrone les APS, mais la corrélation est plutôt faible (R= - 0,22*). Quelques hypothèses d’action sont envisagées pour faire face aux défis didactiques que posent ce type particulier d’enseignement en situation de confinement.","PeriodicalId":399325,"journal":{"name":"Diversity of Research in Health Journal","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123629033","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":"Reading Comprehension Abilities in the Anglophone Aging Population with Post-Secondary Education","authors":"D. Bérubé, Sophie Laurence","doi":"10.28984/DRHJ.V4I1.336","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28984/DRHJ.V4I1.336","url":null,"abstract":"Literacy skills such as reading comprehension are essential in order to understand written information and complete daily tasks. Low literacy skills are common in the aging population thus affecting quality of life, independence and social integration. Reading comprehension is a complex activity that requires processing at many different levels. According to Kintsch’s construction-integration model, three levels of representations of a text must be achieved in order to fully comprehend a text. Previous studies often considered the aging population as a single group and compared this group to young adults. However, few studies examined the variability in reading comprehension abilities within the aging population. Studies examining the variability in the construction of a situation model in older adults are even more scarce. The main objective of this study is to examine the effect of age on reading comprehension abilities at the surface model, text-based model and situation model in the aging population with high education level. \u0000Participants were recruited in northern Ontario and were grouped into three age intervals (60-69 years; 70-79 years; ≥ 80 years). Participants’ cognitive functions were assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and health literacy was assessed using the Short Test of Functional Health Literacy in Adults (STOFHLA). Reading comprehension abilities were evaluated using the Woodcock Reading Mastery Tests - third edition (WRMT-III) as well as the Gray Oral Reading Test – fifth edition (GORT5). \u0000Results indicated no significant differences in performance of reading comprehension abilities among the three age groups at the surface level, text-based level, and situation model level of reading comprehension. These findings suggest no age-related effect on reading comprehension abilities in adults with high levels of education. The lack of differences observed may be explained by the absence of differences in cognitive functions between the three age groups as well as the high level of education which may have acted as a protective factor. Future studies should examine reading comprehension in Anglophone adults with lower levels of education to better understand whether education is a protective factor against a decline in reading comprehension abilities in the aging population.","PeriodicalId":399325,"journal":{"name":"Diversity of Research in Health Journal","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131656869","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}

Stephanie","doi":"10.28984/DRHJ.V4I2.323","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.28984/DRHJ.V4I2.323","url":null,"abstract":"Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) teach practices that encourage the development of present moment awareness through paying attention on purpose and non-judgmentally to one’s experiences, feelings, thoughts, and behaviors. We describe three graduate student research thesis projects that explored the suitability and benefits of an arts-based MBI with three different populations; teachers, university students, and women survivors of intimate partner violence. These three populations have been identified as experiencing heightened levels of stress and in need of resilience building supports. All three projects were qualitative pilot studies that explored whether participants would experience increased understanding and development of mindfulness-based skills, and improved coping with stress through participating in the program. Pre- and post-MBI group interviews were conducted, and interview data was analyzed using thematic analysis. Across the three projects, the student researchers found self-reported benefits with no adverse effects. Developing mindfulness-based skills helped the participants to build their self-awareness/understanding which in turn helped to develop emotion regulation. This is consistent with our understanding of how MBIs can build people’s capacity to make conscious choices about their feelings rather than reacting to emotional triggers. Improved coping with stress was also reported in all three projects. Developing present-moment awareness and mindfulness can help people appreciate life’s moments, and cope better with daily life stressors. Also important was the growth of self-compassion and acceptance. The results are promising and indicate that further exploration with these populations is warranted. Future research could explore an arts-based approach to facilitating mindfulness with larger numbers of participants and using control and/or comparison groups.","PeriodicalId":399325,"journal":{"name":"Diversity of Research in Health Journal","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-01-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134518870","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 wellbeing of Indigenous men, shaped by determinants of health and culture-based perspectives, is challenged by ongoing settler colonialism. In particular to Indigenous men living with children in their homes, less is known about their strengths as nurturers. For the purpose of this study, based on Indigenist, decolonizing theories, 'father' is not conceived as the head of household. An alternative to the heteropatriarchal model is the kinship orientation of Indigenous fathering and as such, father refers to uncle, grandfather, traditional Clan leader, adoptive parent, and so on. This study's secondary quantitative analysis  compared health and social characteristics of three cohorts of Indigenous adult men who identify as residing with children. Based on an extracted subset of variables from the 2012 Aboriginal Peoples Survey, results showed many significance comparisons among First Nations, Metis and Inuit men. Across health and social domains, multiple and decolonial supports are needed for Indigenous fathering to flourish.","PeriodicalId":399325,"journal":{"name":"Diversity of Research in Health Journal","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-03-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126902243","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}

This multiple case study explored how four undergraduate university nursing programs in Northern Ontario integrated IPE into their curricula, including opportunities and challenges of meeting the new IPE requirements. Data collected and analyzed in the study were: interviews with program directors, focus groups and interviews with faculty members, program documentation and information on websites, and on-site program observations. This paper extends the findings of this study and the themes identified in it. These themes were as follows: 1) varied understandings of IPE, 2) diverse IPE learning activities within curricula, 3) the requirement for support and resources for IPE and research, 4) student participation and leadership in IPE, and 5) limited IPE evaluation (Author names removed for integrity of review process, 2019). In this paper, the themes are explored in further depth through extensive consideration of documentation provided by the involved universities.

Consumers’ experiences of emergency mental health services have widely been reported as negative. This research aims to explore the experiences of individuals accessing the ED for MHC. \u0000Method: A supra-analysis was conducted using data from four semi-structured interviews collected from a larger study exploring stigma, discrimination and resilience in people experiencing mental health challenges. Supra-analysis aims to explore an aspect of the data from a different theoretical perspective. Transcripts were selected based on a participant history of voluntarily accessing emergency services for MHC. Data analysis was completed using the process of thematic analysis which involved immersion in the data, the development and refinement of codes leading to themes. \u0000Findings: A major theme of abandonment was identified in participant interviews with subthemes of; geographic, socioemotional and therapeutic abandonment. Participants reported that the locations of care, lack of social/emotional engagement and lack of health care providers’ (HCP) knowledge led to negative experiences attending ED’s. Participants also reported a lack of desire to access emergency services in the future. \u0000Conclusion: Future research is vital to enhance the delivery of emergency services, to reduce the feelings of abandonment experienced by individuals accessing the ED for MHC. Training and education must be provided to HCP’s staffing ED’s that focuses on providing high quality, appropriate emergency services to this vulnerable population.","PeriodicalId":399325,"journal":{"name":"Diversity of Research in Health Journal","volume":"183 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-08-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114209029","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}

Cependant, certains enfants qui ont un trouble déficitaire d’attention avec hyperactivité (TDAH) ou qui ont un trouble du développement du langage (TDL) éprouvent des difficultés avec celle-ci, faisant en sorte qu’ils ont des difficultés à bien communiquer dans des contextes sociaux. Le TDAH est un des troubles psychiatriques les plus communs chez les enfants (Cantwell, 1996). Puisque le TDAH réduit l’habileté à un enfant à porter attention, il y a souvent une interférence avec le processus d’apprentissage. Souvent, il y a plus de difficultés scolaires retrouvées chez les enfants qui ont un TDAH et un TDL (Özerk, Handorff & Özerk, 2011, Zylowska, Ackerman, Yang, Futrell, Horton, Hale, & al., 2007). \u0000Le TDL est un trouble caractérisé par des problèmes au niveau de la compréhension et/ou de l’expression du langage sans être causé par un autre trouble ou syndrome.

Cependant, évaluer le langage des enfants avec un TDAH ne s’avère pas une tâche facile et comme plusieurs enfants qui ont un TDAH démontrent des difficultés avec l’attention ainsi que l’apprentissage de leur première langue (L1), certains chercheurs stipulent que les problèmes liés au TDAH pourraient également affecter l’apprentissage de la L2. \u0000Toutefois, puisque peu d’étude, sinon aucune, ont explorés ce sujet, cette étude aurait comme objectif d’explorer l’impact du TDAH sur l’apprentissage d’une L2.
