Psychosocial implications of pediatric surgical hospitalization

Encounters with needles are frightening experiences for most young children. This study explores the effect of a single session, cognitively-based intervention program on needle fears in hospitalized children. Results demonstrate significant changes in behavior, heart rate, and pain perception associated with post-intervention injection. Implications for routine pediatric practice are discussed.

The fear of needles in children

"High-tech" home care for children with chronic health conditions: a pilot study.

A society that values mental health and helps people live enjoyable and meaningful lives is a clear aspiration echoed throughout our Canadian health care system. The Mental Health Commission of Canada has put forth a framework for a mental health strategy with goals that reflect the virtue of optimal mental health for all Canadians (Mental Health Commission Canada, 2009). Canadian nurses, the largest group of health care workers, have a vital role in achieving these goals. In Canada, two-thirds of those who experience mental health problems do not receive mental health services (Statistics Canada, 2003). Through a gendered, critical, and sociological perspective the goal of this paper is to further understand how the past has shaped the present state of psychiatric mental health nursing (PMHN). This integrative literature review offers a depiction of Canadian PMHN in light of the intersections of history, gender, education, and quality of nursing work life. Fourteen articles were selected, which provide a partial reflection of contemporary Canadian PMHN. Findings include the association between gender and professional status, inconsistencies in psychiatric nursing education, and the limitations for Canadian nurse practitioners to advance the role of the psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner.

Barriers to Accessing Kidney Transplantation Among Populations Marginalized by Race and Ethnicity in Canada: A Scoping Review Part 1—Indigenous Communities in Canada:

"Get the camera!" I yelled. As my young son came running towards me with the camera, I pointed up to the sky. Therethey were, four magnificent gleaming rainbows. The cloudssurrounding were a moody bluish black and the sun swiftly andgracefully beamed through them. The shimmering and glistening rainbows in that brief moment of sunshine pierced throughmy own darkness. In the last few months in my First Nationscommunity, we had experienced many deaths. Some of thesedeaths were relatives and friends. Years later, I would gaze atthe picture taken through hot tears, Nagweyaab geebawug orrainbow spirits I thought--these are the ancestors, those whohave passed reminding us to never give up. This is a story and inthis story an autoethnographical narrative emerges that is richwith contextual cultural interpretations of myself as a kidneydonor to my son. Through this autoethnographical narrative,there is the potential to further illuminate the lived experienceof chronic kidney disease (CKD) and kidney transplantation. Inthis paper, the terms First Nations and Indigenous are utilizedinterchangeably.
