In partnership with a public health unit (PHU) in Ontario, Canada, we developed and pilot-tested an intensive online Indigenous cultural safety micro-credential provided to public health professionals working with local First Nations communities and urban Indigenous Peoples. Collaborating with Elders, Knowledge Keepers and Indigenous community members, the Indigenous cultural safety micro-credential highlights the strengths of the community, provides local Indigenous history including treaties, and ensures public health staff are aware of Indigenous protocols and cultural safety terminology. Indigenous community members were filmed and edited for the final micro-credential offering. An Indigenous online cultural safety micro-credential provided knowledge of Indigenous worldviews, socio-political history and contemporary issues while engaging the learner in self-reflection on the 3Ps: power, privilege, and positionality. The development of an online Indigenous cultural safety micro-credential for a small public health unit in Ontario, Canada provided basic knowledge for collaborating with Indigenous Peoples in a culturally respectful way to move towards increased awareness of including Indigenous Peoples in planning, developing and providing appropriate public health programs, services and policies.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"6 1","pages":"202 - 218"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89710313","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}

Interviews were conducted to understand how patients and families felt the built environment supported their experience of palliative care, and the ways that it did not. Over the past decade, a growing body of literature has sought to understand how architectural design can support wellbeing within palliative care settings. Yet, despite evidence that promotes the prioritization of privacy, homeliness, and nature, the sheer complexity of hospital procurement often results in compromises to the successful implementation of best design practice. Here we argue that a deeper understanding of what these environmental affordances mean to patients being treated for a terminal illness, and to their families, may encourage a necessary re-examination of the ease with which these provisions are compromised relative to considerations of risk, cost, or convenience (in building construction and/or maintenance). Importantly, our findings confirm that privacy, homeliness, and nature do not operate in isolation but in accord to shape experiences of palliative care.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"1 1","pages":"138 - 157"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78345124","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 this paper, we describe how an interdisciplinary team overcame these challenges by translating in-person workshops into at-home design probes to explore connections between university students’ climate change attitudes and their health. Probes were purposively designed to facilitate and focus participation during lockdown with two key interactional components: (1) participant ⇔ probe, and (2) participant ⇔ physical environment. Thematic analysis of 18 completed probes (replete with elicitive drawing, etched stone, mapping, and writing activities) revealed a rich spectrum of climate change perceptions, eco-emotions, and key areas of impact. This case study provides insight into how pandemic-imposed restrictions presented a novel opportunity to reconceptualize how we collect qualitative data in public health research and summarizes the unique benefits of integrating such design-based approaches into the field moving forward.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"46 1","pages":"260 - 280"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"88615353","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}

Some gardens are now being designed specifically to promote wellbeing; however, there are currently no evidence-based guidelines or recommendations available for designers to support such endeavours. The present study undertakes a systematic review of garden design literature to: (1) identify the defining characteristics of a garden that promotes wellbeing in non-clinical populations; and (2) summarize existing evaluations of garden designs into recommendations that can promote wellbeing. Online databases were used to identify papers published before October 2022, from which 17 publications were reviewed. This review was conducted following PRISMA and framework for scoping reviews. Results: The defining characteristics of wellbeing gardens centred around six design aspects: accessibility, wayfinding, fostering serenity, multisensory planting, spatial organization, and cultural artefacts. From these, recommendations were developed for garden designers to create wellbeing gardens.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"31 1","pages":"180 - 201"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89133081","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}

Implementing this approach would imply ‘looking through the eyes of service users’. Since practical and ethical factors seem to prevent architects from engaging directly with service users in PEs, this paper studies the appearance of architectural-rich service users’ experiences within PEs in the existing literature. In addition, we wonder why research knowledge in this field seem to remain confined to academic discourse and how academia can increase the transfer of ‘designerly’ know-how to support the architectural design process of human-centred PEs. In doing so, we propose the designerly scoping review, a methodology that customizes a scoping review in a more relevant and friendly way to architects. This review resulted in thirteen spatial aspects, divided over four atmospheres and linked to actual service users’ experiences with(in) PEs. While the review showed that theoretical knowledge is available in this particular field, the ‘architectural richness’ is often lacking in current literature.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"55 1","pages":"158 - 179"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77412280","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}

Gait is usually assessed by physiotherapists and rehabilitation physicians through observational analysis or by specialized personnel through laboratory gait analysis. However, observational analysis is prone to misjudgment, and laboratory analysis is complex and time-consuming. Inertial measurement units (IMUs) could be an interesting alternative to bring objective gait analysis closer to the actual healthcare providers. This article focuses on identifying the requirements of an IMU-based gait assessment interface for use in a clinical setting by rehabilitation physicians and physiotherapists. The design process consisted of four stages: (1) user research to identify physicians’ and physiotherapists’ needs and expectations, and the context wherein the system will be used; (2) analysing and interpreting user research results to collect insights and define the design vision; (3) conceptualization and evaluation of initial concepts for the layout of the gait assessment interface and visualization of the gait parameters; (4) developing and evaluating the initial design and prototype of the interface. Future research will need to be conducted to further develop the usability and functionality of the interface.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"43 1","pages":"219 - 239"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"81204836","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}

A team of allied health, education, and design professionals worked with a group of 11-year-old children and their teachers to design and develop a novel authentic learning experience about vision, including an experiential activity whereby children could test vision with each other. Prototypes of a vision screening flipchart and recording system were co-designed with one classroom. This was embedded in an education module and then evaluated with 288 children across seven classrooms, which resulted in the development of the final toolkit. The results indicate that teachers appreciate the opportunity to engage with health promotion when it is ‘added-into’ rather than ‘added-onto’ the curriculum. The child-to-child vision screening was perceived as a useful way of teaching about the scientific concept of ‘fair testing’. The evaluation suggested that it is feasible to carry out vision screening process in the classroom context and that it results in higher levels of awareness about vision since children went on to get spectacles when they needed them, while others started to wear their spectacles in class.","PeriodicalId":92348,"journal":{"name":"Design for health (Abingdon, England)","volume":"18 1","pages":"240 - 259"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-05-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80353949","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}
