This book was released on 2001 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Aboriginal people comprise a large percentage of admissions to the Health Sciences Centre, an 850-bed tertiary care teaching hospital in Winnipeg. Issues such as the perception of systemic and individual discrimination have come up at the hospital in the past decades. The objective of this study was to develop an in-depth understanding of the current urban hospitalization experience of Aboriginal patients on medical, surgical and rehabilitation wards. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were done, both in English and in Ojibway with patients who self-identified as Aboriginal. As directed by key informants, the areas explored included communication, family involvement, discharge planning, and racism. Interview data was analyzed, coded and categorized and emerging themes were corroborated with the key informants. A case study of Aboriginal people's involvement at the hospital was done also, in particular looking at the outcome of a 1992 report on Aboriginal services. Important themes to emerge from the interviews were control, and endurance. Racism, separation from both family and community, and communication problems were frequent concerns. Many patients lacked knowledge about the Aboriginal Services Department, with few interpreter-caseworkers involved with patients. Increased utilization of the Aboriginal Service Department's interpreter-caseworkers as patient advocates and promotion of the hospital's cultural awareness workshops could contribute to resolving some of the problems described by patients. The partial fulfillment of the 1992 'Report of the Aboriginal Services Review Committee' recommendations, including increased Aboriginal representation in employment and governance at the hospital may point to inherent difficulties in resolving such issues or to systemic discrimination towards Aboriginal people. Leadership at the highest corporate levels will be needed to ensure they are implemented so that Aboriginal people can feel well served in the Winnipeg health care system.

Download or read book Health Inequities in Canada written by Olena Hankivsky and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2011-05-28 with total page 414 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There is a growing recognition that existing theories on, and approaches to, health inequities are limited in their ability to capture how these inequities are produced through changing, co-constituted, and intersecting effects of multiple forms of oppression. Intersectionality responds to this problem by considering the interactions and combined impacts of social locations and structural processes on the creation and perpetuation of inequities. It offers unique insights into, and possible solutions to, some of Canada’s most pressing health disparities. This volume brings together Canadian activists, community-based researchers, and scholars from a range of disciplines to apply interpretations of intersectionality to health and organizational governance cases. By addressing specific health issues, this book advances methodological applications of intersectionality in health research, policy, and practice. Most importantly, it demonstrates that health inequities cannot be understood or addressed without the interrogation of power and diverse social locations and structures that shape lives and experiences of health.

Download or read book Structures of Indifference written by Mary Jane Logan McCallum and published by Univ. of Manitoba Press. This book was released on 2018-09-07 with total page 145 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Structures of Indifference examines an Indigenous life and death in a Canadian city and what it reveals about the ongoing history of colonialism. In September 2008, Brian Sinclair, a middle-aged, non-Status Anishinaabe resident of Winnipeg, arrived in the emergency room of a major downtown hospital. Over a thirty-four- hour period, he was left untreated and unattended to, and ultimately died from an easily treatable infection. McCallum and Perry present the ways in which Sinclair, once erased and ignored, came to represent diffuse, yet singular and largely dehumanized ideas about Indigenous people, modernity, and decline in cities. This story tells us about ordinary indigeneity in the city of Winnipeg through Sinclair’s experience and restores the complex humanity denied him in his interactions with Canadian health and legal systems, both before and after his death.
Download or read book Evidence Based Public Health written by Ross C. Brownson and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2010-12-03 with total page 312 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are at least three ways in which a public health program or policy may not reach stated goals for success: 1) Choosing an intervention approach whose effectiveness is not established in the scientific literature; 2) Selecting a potentially effective program or policy yet achieving only weak, incomplete implementation or "reach," thereby failing to attain objectives; 3) Conducting an inadequate or incorrect evaluation that results in a lack of generalizable knowledge on the effectiveness of a program or policy; and 4) Paying inadequate attention to adapting an intervention to the population and context of interest To enhance evidence-based practice, this book addresses all four possibilities and attempts to provide practical guidance on how to choose, carry out, and evaluate evidence-based programs and policies in public health settings. It also begins to address a fifth, overarching need for a highly trained public health workforce. This book deals not only with finding and using scientific evidence, but also with implementation and evaluation of interventions that generate new evidence on effectiveness. Because all these topics are broad and require multi-disciplinary skills and perspectives, each chapter covers the basic issues and provides multiple examples to illustrate important concepts. In addition, each chapter provides links to the diverse literature and selected websites for readers wanting more detailed information. An indispensable volume for professionals, students, and researchers in the public health sciences and preventative medicine, this new and updated edition of Evidence-Based Public Health aims to bridge research and evidence with policies and the practice of public health.

[...] By facilitating sharing of information and best practices, the CCOHR ensures awareness of treaty obligations, including the views of treaty bodies, which can influence policy and program development, and in turn contribute to the implementation of the treaties. [...] The CCOHR also facilitates the preparation of Canada's reports to the UN on its implementation of human rights treaties and discussion of the concluding observations. [...] Canada has also integrated gender equality into its development cooperation with countries in conflict, post-conflict, and reconstruction, for example, support for victims of sexual violence, technical assistance in the area of gender equality, which resulted in the creation of family violence units in police forces and the establishment of women's shelters, and research on the involvement of girl.
