Intensive care units experienced a sustained surge capacity and were forced to introduce modified standards of care and practices.PurposeIn this article we use punctuated entropy as a conceptual lens to reveal the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on Ontario hospitals by drawing attention to the cumulative impact of repeated disaster events on their capacity to recover.MethodsThis qualitative instrumental case study took place at a Medical-Surgical Intensive Care Unit in a university-affiliated teaching community hospital in a large urban center in Ontario, Canada. Twelve healthcare professionals from the ICU participated in in-depth semi-structured interviews.ResultsIn-depth interviews with healthcare providers revealed an already-vulnerable system and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on the nursing workforce, compounding pre- burnout and compassion injury.ConclusionThe structure of intensive care and the dynamics of collaborative practices within ICUs are subject to continual reconfiguration, potentially leading to punctuated entropy - a permanent state of a lack of capacity to recover. Disaster recovery planning in healthcare services delivery should not be focussed simply on navigating the 'temporary' effects of a single event, but rather on how the event interacts with the already existing 'pathological' state of the healthcare system. In this way solutions to longitudinal systemic problems in ICU healthcare delivery can be anticipated and plans for mitigation can be put in place.","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"375-389"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144034056","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}

Recent trends indicate that CPE has shifted away from nurses' education to be more directed toward organizational and regulatory needs, which impacts nurses' professional learning.PurposeThe purpose of this research was to understand the influences that shape nurses' CPE choices and professional learning pathways, and the ways in which nurses learn.MethodsThis was an exploratory case study of later career nurses in Nova Scotia, Canada, that analyzed data from semi-structured interviews, participant artifacts, and government and regulatory policy documents. Critical and post-structural feminist lenses were applied to the data analysis.ResultsThree themes encompassing the key influences on nurses' CPE choices and learning pathways were identified: sociocultural context, structural/systems context, and shifting knowledge forms. The findings suggest that educational discourse embedded in the broader regulatory, government, and employer policy worked to direct the participants into CPE for employment and regulatory requirements, shaping nursing knowledge that reflects organizational needs.ConclusionThis study revealed sources of influence on nurses' CPE choices and professional learning pathways, such as sociocultural expectations for women to assume most family responsibilities. Structural influences within healthcare and regulation exert considerable influence on nurses' CPE and learning pathways to align with system needs. This study highlighted the limitations of these influences and the need for CPE programs and learning for nurses that enable rather than constrain their continued professional development.","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"352-363"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143651396","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}

Although prediabetes is associated with chronic stress-related behavioral and physiological maladaptation, few studies have focused on chronic psychological stress.PurposeThis study aimed to examine the feasibility and preliminary outcomes of Emotional Awareness and Expression Treatment (EAET) adopted and implemented among adults with high risk for prediabetes.MethodThis study used a prospective, within-subjects, repeated measures, uncontrolled design with a 4-week virtual intervention period and three measurement points for all participants: baseline, 3 months from baseline, and 6 months from baseline. Forty individuals were screened for prediabetes, and sixteen were eligible to participate. Divided into three groups, participants received four weekly virtual sessions of EAET. Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) and insulin secretion (C-peptide) were measured at baseline, 3- and 6-month periods in addition to self-reported eating habits, physical activity, and perceived stress.ResultsTwelve participants completed all sessions and were fully engaged in the intervention sessions. Across the study period, participants' perceived stress and unhealthy eating habits decreased significantly. Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) showed a non-significant drop at 6 months, but the average C-peptide concentration, exercise frequency, and exercise duration increased significantly.ConclusionsThe EAET stress reduction intervention is feasible and showed promising results in reducing stress and decreasing risk factors for T2D. EAET can be further developed to reduce the incidence and prevalence of T2D, which could lead to a significant decrease in the direct and indirect health and cost burdens of T2D.","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"436-447"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143988974","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}

There is a growing nursing shortage requiring novel solutions to support retention, particularly for rural and remote populations. Academic-practice partnerships can be leveraged to improve working conditions and consequently job satisfaction (Padilla & Kreider, 2020; Rogers et al., 2020).MethodUsing qualitative methodology, semi-structured virtual interviews were conducted with nine Registered Nurse participants ranging in experience from three to seven months employed at the same hospital in Northwestern Ontario.The interview guide was developed collaboratively by an advisory board comprised of the researcher, hospital staff and input from two student ambassadors from the graduating class. Thematic analysis was completed and broad categories were established with data then expanded into five overarching themes.ResultsFive themes representing impactful sentiments shared by the new graduate nurses were identified: \"I couldn't be the nurse I know I could be\"; \"I'm with you right now\"; \"You have to catch up\"; \"Do you want to learn it with me?\"; and \"I feel thrown in and unprepared\".ConclusionNew graduate nurses experience a dissonance between expectations and reality influenced by their interactions with preceptors and colleagues. Academic-practice partnerships can create supportive learning environments, allowing new nurses to transition to independent practitioners while establishing stronger professional identity, which is a positive indicator for retention.","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"8445621251366583"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144973915","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}

Gender and sexual orientation were found to be contributing factors to the worsening of participants' mental health. By contrast, parental and school involvement in young people's lives had a positive effect, both in reducing the number of victims and in helping to contain aggressors. This review reinforces the importance of recognizing and classifying cyberbullying as a form of violence.

These youth face significant challenges when transitioning from pediatric to adult healthcare services. Fragmented systems, diminished support, and increased health vulnerabilities mark these transitions. Adult healthcare systems often lack the coordinated, family-centered approach of pediatric care, resulting in care gaps, mental health risks, and poor health outcomes. This commentary argues that nurse navigators offer a practical, evidence-informed, and ethically grounded solution to improve transitional care. Drawing on successful models in oncology care, the nurse navigator role can bridge service silos, advocate for inclusive care, and support youth and families during this critical life stage. Despite systemic barriers such as workforce shortages and inconsistent policy implementation, the integration of nurse navigators into Canadian healthcare frameworks represents a necessary step toward equitable, person-centered transitional care. This paper calls for national investment in a scalable navigation model tailored to the needs of neurodivergent youth and their families, which aligns with Canada's legislative commitments to accessibility, inclusion, and health equity.","PeriodicalId":46661,"journal":{"name":"Canadian Journal of Nursing Research","volume":" ","pages":"8445621251365546"},"PeriodicalIF":2.9,"publicationDate":"2025-08-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144790354","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 study employed a narrative inquiry methodological approach and the Conceptual Framework of Access to Healthcare as a theoretical lens.ResultsKnowledge about routine SRH tests and utilization of these services were found to be low. Mothers, sisters, peers, the internet and mobile apps were identified as sources of informal help-seeking. The family doctor is the most significant source of formal help-seeking. The findings shed light on the demand- and supply-side dimensions of access to SRH care as well as the multiple barriers and facilitators to services. Individual-level social and cultural factors in SRH help- and care-seeking behaviors and attitudes were identified. Structural factors within the health system hindered effective service delivery.ConclusionThe findings highlight the need for SRH-focused educational and informational campaigns in residential neighborhoods concentrated by the Bangladeshi diaspora.
