Sex And Gender Differences In Arthritis Health Information, Tania Al-Jilawi
Sex And Gender Differences In Arthritis Health Information, Tania Al-Jilawi
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Arthritis is a common disorder that may result in pain and inflammation, making it challenging to move or continue being active. Arthritis comes in a variety of forms. The two studies of this thesis aimed to identify the influence of intersectionality, especially sex and gender, in arthritis. The first study, a structured review, evaluated the inclusion of sex/gender and intersectional identities in patient resources of three arthritis societies: the Canadian Arthritis Society, the American Arthritis Foundation, and the National Rheumatoid Arthritis Society. The appraisal tool, the Sex/Gender and Intersectional Considerations in Patient/Consumer Health Information Appraisal Tool was used to evaluate …

Re-Cognizing Power In The Culture Of Dementia Care Knowledge, Ryan T. Deforge
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
In light of increasing system demands, system regulations, and constrained resources, those living and working with dementia in the long-term care sector are vulnerable to oppressive care practices. This is true so long as our understanding of how social power affects the ways in which dementia care knowledge is created, shared, and enacted remains limited. Based on prolonged field observations and on informal and formal interviews with care recipients, family members, and staff, the aim of this critical qualitative research was to examine the culture of dementia care knowledge in two sites: a specialized dementia care unit in a long-term …

A Baseline Assessment Of University Students’ Vitamin D Knowledge, Shaunessey Boland
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Vitamin D is necessary for many aspects of health and development yet 25% of Canadians are not getting enough and university-aged students are at particularly high risk of insufficiency. It seems program development is needed to help university students in acquiring adequate vitamin D. The purpose of this study was to acquire a baseline assessment of university students’ vitamin D related knowledge to help inform future program development. Subjects were asked to complete a Vitamin D Knowledge Survey which assessed knowledge on aspects such as vitamin D sources, health benefits, and recommended intake. A Vitamin D Knowledge Score was computed …

Exploring Pregnant Women’S Perceptions And Decision Making Of Household Chemicals: Phthalates As A Model, Justin M. Ashley
Electronic Thesis and Dissertation Repository
Recent research has identified a group of plasticizers known as phthalates as potential anti-androgens and a risk to developing male fetuses. A constructivist grounded theory study was used to understand pregnant women and obstetrical care providers’ perceptions of phthalates. Twenty-three pregnant women and twelve obstetrical care providers (Obstetricians, Family Physicians, and Midwives) from Southwestern Ontario participated in semi-structured interviews. Pregnant women and clinicians had little knowledge regarding phthalates and the potential associated risks. Women felt that knowledge of these risks would be important to prenatal counselling while clinicians required more evidence. Two separate but related models emerged from the data …
