Homeless Population Enumeration, Ji-Soo Jennifer Choi

Undergraduate Student Research Internships Conference

There is currently very limited information on homeless population including, population size, demographic, geological location, and such; these are all vital information that are required to create resources and supports that helps to meet the needs of homeless population (Forchuk, 2021). Dr. Richard Booth’s ongoing research on homeless population enumeration aims to generate accurate quantitative representation of the homelessness incidence. It will be undertaking the form of a scoping review by reviewing relevant literatures to explore and synthesize various enumeration processes and conceptualization of construct of ‘homelessness’.

Canadian Undergraduate Nursing Students' Experiences Of Learning Indigenous Health, Ivy Tran

Western Research Forum

Western Research Forum Abstract Submission

Canadian Undergraduate Nursing Students’ Experiences with Learning Indigenous Health

Background
The purpose of this study is to better understand undergraduate nurses’ experiences in learning about Indigenous health. This will determine what changes are needed within nursing education locally and across Canada. Implications for nursing education, research, practice, policy, and leadership will be drawn to provide pragmatic suggestions in improving Indigenous health status and outcomes. A qualitative study will be conducted using critical ethnography and semi-structured interviews to determine facilitators and barriers to learning about Indigenous health.

Methods
Critical ethnography will be utilized to examine 12 …

Factors Affecting Nurses’ Job Satisfaction In Rural And Urban Acute Care Settings: A Prisma Systematic Review, Yasin Yasin, Mickey Kerr, Carol A Wong, Charles H. Bélanger

Western Research Forum

This review aims to systemically describe the findings of primary studies in order to identify the intrinsic and extrinsic factors that affect nurses’ job satisfaction using PRISMA guidelines. It also aims to analyze the finding according to the two-factor theory; and compare studies based on rural and urban settings.

Two reviewers completed study selection, screening, and quality assessment. After data extraction, content analysis was used to categorize identified factors into themes.

Thirty-eight studies were selected for this review. Extrinsic factors reported in the findings were: work conditions (n=17), monetary benefits (n=5), hospital policies (n=6), supervision (n=7), interpersonal relationships (n=8), organization …

Organizational Behaviour During Instability: A Critical Discourse Analysis Of Shared Mental Model Through Various Forms Of Acute Care Learning Using Mixed Methods, Adam Morse, Ryan Chan

Western Research Forum

Background: The purpose of this study is to better understand nurses' performance based on training processes. This will determine if group training will increase performance compared to independent training through a shared mental model in a contextual setting of unpredictability mediated by the effects of nurses’ perceptions of patient safety climate. A mixed methods study is conducted using critical discourse analysis of organizational documentation and semi-structured interviews to determine measures of contextual setting when identifying and treating sex trade workers.

Methods: Pragmatic study will analyze two groups of 125 nurses each determining the impact of group and individual …

Navigating Through The Challenges Of Healthcare Simulated Education, Ryan Chan, Adam Morse

Western Research Forum

Background: The use of simulation as an adjunct tool for student learning and development in addition to traditional didactic teaching modalities has been traditionally favored by health care education. However, evidence suggest that there are limitations to the current use of simulation and thoughtful considerations must be made to leverage the current use of simulation to promote further learning strategies including the use of haptic technology. The aim of this research is to examine the strengths and limitations of haptic technology and to identify opportunities for future research relating to the use and adaptation of haptic technology as part of …
