ADDRESSING INEQUITABLE HEALTH CARE ACCESS AROUND THE WORLD
DEAN’S MESSAGE
Nurses are no strangers to the increasing challenges that face many patient populations today, including securing timely access to health care, both here in Canada and around the world. As leaders in nursing science, faculty and students at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing are illustrating the profound impact of critical nursing perspectives in research that aim to ensure equitable access to health care for all.
Rigorous scholarship and critical inquiry, alongside interdisciplinary collaboration and advocacy for social justice, are some of the fundamental values of our Faculty, and they are reflected in the ongoing and ground-breaking work undertaken by Bloomberg Nursing researchers as they explore co-designed and innovative solutions to improve lives across health care systems.
In addition to understanding the impact of barriers to care access, including poor health outcomes and diminished quality of life for various patient groups such as racialized women, children with chronic disease, and migrant populations, Bloomberg Nursing researchers are also seeking new ways to transform care access through policy interventions, improvements in education, and advanced digital solutions.

WE ARE DRIVING NURSING RESEARCH AND HEALTH CARE FORWARD
ASSOCIATE DEAN OF RESEARCH MESSAGE
At the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, our ground-breaking and collaborative research is driven by an overarching need to facilitate equitable access to care across health care systems and ensure the best possible care outcomes for the populations we serve.
At Bloomberg Nursing, our commitment to this goal, and our focus on improving care for equity deserving groups, is indicative not only of our values pertaining to social justice, but also our motivation to build inclusive and sustainable societies as we push the future of nursing science forward.
Over the past two years health care systems worldwide have grappled with a shortage of health care workers bringing to light the gaps in care provision, barriers to access, and the systemic inequity pervading health care systems today.
In our 2022-2024 Research Report, we highlight the innovative research being conducted that demonstrates a focus on equitable care access is led by faculty members and students, both here in Canada and
around the world. Each of our researchers brings their expertise in areas of health policy, cardiovascular research, genetic testing, and more to create new interventions and transformative policies that will change health care for the better.
Nurses are uniquely positioned to lead in advancing equity in health care through our research. As primary care providers we often witness when health systems fail, which is why so many of us are driven to find tangible solutions to improve people’s lives at the point of care from improving breast cancer diagnostic services for women in Rwanda, to working with patient partners in Indigenous communities to co-design culturally informed care solutions.
As you will see in our report, our researchers demonstrate the incredible value of nursing perspectives in research and its impact on patient outcomes and care delivery, signaling our role as leaders in reshaping the future of health care.

Pain and symptom management of children and youth with chronic pain jennifer.stinson@sickkids.ca
MANAGING PAIN FOR CHILDREN LIVING WITH SICKLE CELL DISEASE
Professor Jennifer Stinson has built a renowned program of research aimed at improving chronic pain management in children. One of her most recent projects, includes the development of a mobile app called iCanCope, which is designed to help children and youth living with sickle cell disease (SCD) manage their chronic pain. What motivates her she says, is the opportunity to not only improve a child’s quality of life, providing them with tools to help them manage their pain as they grow into young adults, but also address the health inequity and barriers to access they face when it comes to pain management.
“Unfortunately, people living with SCD are known to experience many health care inequities, particularly related to pain management,” says Stinson.
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is the most common inherited blood disorder globally and affects mostly people of African descent. Pain is the most frequent and distressing symptom and is associated with disability, psychosocial distress, repeated hospitalizations, and risk of organ damage. A hallmark of SCD includes the occurrence of acute vaso-occlusive episodes. This is when sickled red blood cells become blocked in veins and arteries, causing intense pain and trouble breathing. Stinson notes that because individuals are born with this disease, they often develop chronic pain over time.
“We know we cannot cure or alleviate the pain, but we can empower young people to live well with pain, and to manage it with resources and strategies that are effective, building their confidence in leading a fulfilling life,” says Stinson who also holds the Mary Jo Haddad Nursing Chair in Child Health, and is a Senior Scientist in the Child Health Evaluative Sciences Research Institute at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids).
ICanCope includes four key features, which allow users to track their symptoms, set structured goals to improve their daily function, access a curated library of evidence-based resources, and participate in a community discussion platform, where they can connect with other young people who live with SCD.
The app also uses an algo rithm to push strategies and resources to a youth user if they indicate they are having trouble with an issue related to their pain, or if they are looking to set a goal to improve their wellbeing, such as improving sleep.
This project has earned Stinson the prestigious 2023 Barer-Flood Prize in Health Services Research from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR), providing Stinson and her team with funding to continue to pilot the app across clinics in Canada.
“The app is really intended to be an adjunct to the care that young people with SCD receive in hospital,” says Stinson, “and through our research and rigorous evaluation, we want to ensure that health care providers feel confident prescribing our digital app to their patients.”
Stinson notes that a previous qualitative study on factors influencing engagement in SCD research, found that “patients with SCD are particularly prone to…suffer unequal treatment, and to experience health care injustice (i.e., perception as drug seekers).”
Tattiana Flowers, a young woman living with SCD and a patient partner on Stinson’s project, knows that feeling of mistrust all too well, and has experienced this inequitable response firsthand. As a young SCD patient, during one of her many ER visits to manage her pain, Flowers overheard health care providers dismiss her pain saying things like “they are [sicklers], they are just here for drugs.” 1
“I think there is a misperception in society that sickle cell disease is only a Black disease, or that the pain is not that bad, and I wanted to be a part of ensuring there was a better way forward for younger patients who have to live with this disease,” says Flowers who recently graduated from Humber College with a bachelor’s degree in health sciences.

PATIENT PARTNER TATTIANA FLOWERS SHOWS THE ICANCOPE MOBILE APP ALONGSIDE RESEARCHER PROFESSOR JENNIFER STINSON
Her experience living with SCD led her to become a patient partner with Stinson and her team at SickKids where they intentionally focused on co-designing iCanCope in collaboration with young SCD patients and clinicians, helping to ensure that it addresses the needs of this vulnerable population.
“The three main messages we heard in some of our initial consultations was that the app needed to be simple, provide a safe place for community engagement and discussion, and focus on living life, not just on pain,” says Stinson.
Flowers who has trialled the app as part of the project, shares that many of iCanCope’s key features would have been very beneficial to her as a young patient with SCD.
“Having an opportunity to conduct a pain check and understand your pain level, where it hurts and if the pain has gotten worse or better over a week, is something very useful for a young person who is trying to understand and manage their pain and daily function,” says Flowers.
iCanCope’s resource library, which allows users to not only find education about their pain, but also access youth-friendly materials that address mental health, anxiety, and topics related to their transition to adult care, is something Flowers also worked to improve.
Flowers adds she was able to voice her suggestions regarding this feature, asking that the researchers cycle through many different articles, resources and activities in the app, to keep users engaged.
So many SCD patients like myself are hungry for information, and these resources are so useful,” says Flowers. “I’ve really enjoyed using the app, if I was younger, this would definitely have been something I would have used, and is different to the coping mechanisms I developed.”
The app has been rigorously evaluated in a randomized control led trial involving 111 youth who lived with SCD pain. After six months, youth who received the iCanCope intervention reported 37 per cent fewer days with pain than those who received education alone.
The iCanCope program was also associated with a reduction in average daily pain intensity from baseline to 6-month follow-up. Qualitative data revealed that most youth would continue to use the program (92 per cent) and would recommend it to others (83 per cent).
Young people who used iCanCope also highlighted the value of the program, a quote from one study participant stated, “If I didn’t have a good day I would mark it down, and it would encourage me to try harder to have positive energy. If I didn’t have a good sleep the night before, I would put in a [score of] two (very bad), then I would be encouraged to go to sleep earlier…or try to persevere through the day, so I can put in a better score. And it would just make me feel better.” (female, age 13)
“As a nurse practitioner in a chronic pain clinic, if I were to prescribe a digital health app, I would want to ensure that it was evidence-based, that it was co-designed and that it has been shown to improve outcomes,” says Stinson.
With new funding from the Canadian Institutes for Health Research, iCanCope will be rolled out across 8 SCD clinics across Canada as part of a national implementation project. This new study aims to identify the local facilitators and barriers to integrating iCanCope to each clinic. Lessons learned will then be synthesized into a roadmap to guide other researchers and clinicians in building and integrating digital health interventions for youth with SCD.
These kids will become young adults with persistent pain, and with iCanCope we are giving them the tools early in life to be able to manage their pain using appropriate coping techniques and strategies that improve their life satisfaction and well-being.”

DRIVING HEALTH POLICY CHANGE TO ELIMINATE TB IN CANADA
Genevieve Armstrong, a former public health nurse and current Bloomberg Nursing doctoral student, is examining Tuberculosis (TB) care policies across Canada in the hopes of one day eliminating the disease in its entirety. Her research looks closely at three provinces with the highest percentages of TB disease (Ontario, Quebec, and British Columbia), and her results show troubling health policy issues that create substantial and inequitable barriers for people who require urgent access to TB care.
A large proportion of these individuals are migrants, refugees, and people without immigration status, a vulnerable sector of the population that is at risk of being overlooked. According to data from the Public Health Agency of Canada, in 2022, migrants represented 74.5 per cent of all diagnoses of active TB cases in Canada. The Canadian government is a signatory of the United Nations Political Declaration on the fight against TB, and has publicly committed to eliminating the disease by 2030. However, Armstrong’s research shows that this goal is at risk of not being reached.
“The policies currently in place to manage TB in Canada are inequitable, and they are driven largely by politicians with little knowledge or expertise of the disease and its progression. Without any policy change, Canada will not eliminate TB by 2030,” says Armstrong.
TB is a bacterial infection that spreads through the air when someone coughs, sneezes, or sings, though it requires prolonged contact with an infected individual and is not considered as contagious as COVID19 or the flu. TB was considered endemic in Canada until antibiotics were developed in the 1940’s. Though it is treatable and curable, the disease has re-
mained entrenched in Indigenous communities, and among those who live and work in tight and enclosed spaces, such as among migrant workers, and among immigrant families who may share living quarters.
Armstrong conducted a critical qualitative study assessing the development and operationalization of TB policies and practices in Ontario, Quebec and BC. Following interviews with eight policy makers (e.g. provincial medical officers of health and policy consultants), and 15 policy implementers (e.g. TB clinicians and public health providers), Armstrong has found that the lack of formalized TB care policies creates not only inequitable implementation across the country, but also leads to significant challenges for those who require TB care access. Generally, undocumented migrants and foreign visitors are not eligible for health care under any of the provincial health insurance plans (GOBC, 2021; GOQ, 2020; OMOHLTC, 2021. Of the three provinces Armstrong has assessed, only Ontario has a formal TB policy (TB-UP program) that is inclusive of uninsured individuals.
While TB medications are free across all three provinces examined in the study, (GOBC, 2021; GOQ, 2021; OMOHLTC, 2018), Armstrong notes that free medication and Ontario’s TB-UP Program do not suffice in ensuring quality TB care for migrants with a precarious immigration status.
“To achieve equity in TB care, political parties and policy makers should engage with implementers and migrants on policy development and the implementation process,” says Armstrong. Issues related to TB policies, include the requirement in all three provinces that newcomers to Canada must abide by a three-month
waiting period before they can access insured health care services, though Quebec does make an exception to this rule for infectious disease treatment.
However, health care providers interviewed as part of Armstrong’s study, have shared that there are considerable gaps that make providing care to individuals with TB difficult.
“In Quebec for example, nurses have shared that by the time they connect with the province about an uninsured TB patient, that person has either completed isolation or developed more advanced symptoms, requiring them to be hospitalized,” says Armstrong.
Similar challenges abound in Ontario, where although the TB-UP policy on care provision exists, it does not cover hospitalizations, initial primary care consultations, and home care services.
“These financial barriers may prevent migrants from accessing care, leading to both individual and public health implications,” adds Armstrong. In British Columbia, Armstrong has found that although the province does not have a formal TB policy in place, their care services are delivered in a more centralized way, with many physicians on salary as opposed to a fee per service model, positively influencing their ability to provide care to uninsured migrants.
She further notes that many of the health care providers she has interviewed advocate for eliminating the three-month waiting period as a policy intervention, so that care can be provided without a delay in treatment.
“What many people seem to forget is that TB is a contagious disease. When we allow people to suffer and remain contagious, it creates a twofold burden, both on our health systems and in society at large, where TB infection can continue to spread,” says Armstrong.
Before COVID19, Armstrong says, TB was the leading cause of death in Canada surpassing even HIV. TB can spread to other organs, and advanced symptoms of the disease often result in individuals requiring hospitalization, causing them to lose their jobs and their hardearned immigration status. There is also the risk of exposing other members of the public to the disease.
Armstrong believes that the lack of investment in policy change stems from the stigma surrounding TB as an infectious disease. It has long been considered a disease of the poor,
To achieve equity in TB care, political parties and policy makers, should engage with implementers and migrants on policy development and the implementation process.”

further cementing preexisting health inequities in society, especially among today’s migrant workers, immigrant populations, and refugees.
“Inequity in health policy spreads like disease, it leeches all of us, inhibiting our ability to achieve our full potential as citizens,” says Denise Gastaldo, Amstrong’s PhD supervisor, and an associate professor at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing whose research focuses on the political and social dimensions of health.
“Genevieve’s research is providing an important perspective on the interconnectedness of society and the need for us to address infectious disease policies that have the potential
to impact everyone,” says Gastaldo.
For Amstrong her research is key to raising awareness about the ongoing issue of TB in Canada and to what she hopes will be the creation of new policies that remove barriers to care.
“It is possible to eradicate TB,” says Armstrong, “but we must be inclusive in our health care policies, or we are never going to achieve that aim.”
HYPERTENSIVE DISORDERS OF PREGNANCY AMONG BLACK CANADIAN WOMEN
PHD STUDENT AIMS TO RAISE AWARENESS OF RISKS AND INFORM FUTURE HEALTH POLICY
The impact of race and ethnicity on women’s cardiovascular health is at the heart of Deborah Baiden’s doctoral research examining hypertensive disorders of pregnancy among Black Canadian women.
In a recent scoping review published in the Canadian Journal of Cardiology, Baiden examined literature that identified several contributing factors to a woman’s risk of hypertension in pregnancy These include their socio-economic status, income and education level, as well as barriers to accessing health care services particularly for refugees and those without immigration status.
Baiden, who is also a trainee member of the Canadian Women’s Heart Health Alliance, has found throughout her research, studies indicating Black women in the US are five times more likely to die of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy, while in the UK, that number stands at around four times more likely, compared to non-Black pregnant women.
This information is important Baiden says, because it demonstrates the need for better understanding of the risk profile of Black Canadian women, and subsequently any changes to their prenatal or postnatal care provision to ensure they have equitable access.
“It is my personal belief that no one should be at risk of losing their life while bringing another life into this world,” says Baiden. “This finding solidified for me why this work is important, because we don’t have this data on Black Canadian women, and yet we know from evidence in other countries that they are at a higher risk of complications and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.”
Hypertensive disorders of pregnancy encompass a variety of conditions, including gestational hypertension which can occur after 20 weeks of pregnancy. It can also include preeclampsia, a condition in which the pregnant person’s blood pressure remains dangerously high, amplifying stress on the heart muscle and affecting the central nervous system which can result in seizures. It can also lead to pre-term birth or stillbirth.
Most of the time, hypertension in pregnancy resolves once the individual has given birth, but there is emerging research showing that women who experience hypertension in pregnancy can experience lasting negative effects on their heart health.
“Many newcomers to Canada experience a deterioration in their health status,” says Baiden. “Passing the medical examination as part of the immigration process might mean new Canadians are in good health when they arrive, but barriers to improving their socio-economic status including obtaining licenses to pursue their professions, can have a significant and negative impact on their health status in the years that follow.”
Making sure that knowledge is readily available and accessible in a way that populations understand and that is safe for them is key.”
Deborah Baiden PhD student
Baiden also points to the role that gender and discrimination can play in relation to risk factors for developing hypertension in pregnancy, and how the culmination of factors around race, and socioeconomic status can leave women feeling that their concerns are brushed aside by health care providers and inhibit their ability to seek out and access prenatal and postnatal care and support when they need it.
With the support of her supervisor Professor Monica Parry, a renowned researcher in women’s cardiovascular health, Baiden is conducting a mixed-methods study recruiting women who are over 18 years of age and of African descent from across Canada, who have had a history of hypertension in pregnancy within the last ten years. She is also working with a patient partner, a woman of African descent with lived experience of hypertension in pregnancy, to ensure her research is co-designed with what matters to patients in mind.
“I’m looking forward to seeing what this study will reveal about the prevalence of hypertensive disorders of pregnancy among Black Canadians, but also how it will drive further research on this topic and inform culturally safe care practices that align with a long-term and rigorous strategy around cardiovascular health in women,” says Baiden.
Baiden believes that some of these strategies should take a preventative approach and include community engagement campaigns with knowledge provided in a culturally specific way to raise awareness of cardiovascular disease and pregnancy related hypertension among Black Canadian women.
“Knowledge is power. When someone doesn’t have knowledge about a certain disease or prevention strategies, it is always dangerous,” says Baiden. “Making sure that knowledge is readily available and accessible in a way that populations understand and that is safe for them is key.”
In 2023, Baiden received a Personnel Award for Black Scholars from the Heart and Stroke Foundation and Canadian Institutes for Health Research (CIHR). She is grateful for this recognition of her research and hopes that it will aid her in continuing to raise more awareness about pregnancy related cardiovascular diseases.
One of her most important goals she says, is to use her research to create pathways that inform policy about how pregnancy care should be administered, especially among Black Canadians.
A HEALTH PROMOTION VIDEO
SERIES FOR INDIGENOUS MEN AIMED AT DIABETES PREVENTION
Amy Wright’s program of research actively engages with Indigenous communities to promote culturally safe and holistic care for Indigenous Peoples. Her research is a means of improving not only their health outcomes, but also equitable access to care services.
As part of a Social Sciences and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) funded study, Wright who is an assistant professor at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, is working with the Indigenous Diabetes Health Circle (IDHC), an Ontario-based organization that is focused on providing diabetes education and prevention programming, and volunteers from the Indigenous community, to create a digital health promotion campaign using a video series specifically for Indigenous men and youth, that provides culturally relevant ways to engage in healthy living.
The goal Wright says is to make health resources for men visible and focus on solving health challenges in their communities by embracing a strength’s-based approach.
“Rather than measuring deficits, we are actively creating resources by Indigenous Peoples for Indigenous Peoples, that seeks to reflect and respond to the needs of the community and to provide them with the care resources they need,” says Wright.
Featuring perspectives from Indigenous Elders and fathers, the video campaign will share how many of these men have worked to establish a healthy lifestyle that includes healing from trauma related to colonization, generational trauma, and learning to build a better relationship with the land.
“What we have heard time and again in our preliminary interviews, is that in our programming and training there is a lack of male faces among our participants, but that is not representative of their involvement in their own health or in their families,” says Jessica Pace, Knowledge Program Manager at the Indigenous Diabetes Health Circle and partner on this research project.
“We also know balance and support in family circles benefits everyone, and we wanted to highlight the stories we were hearing of men who are taking a very active role as partners and as fathers, and make sure that was reaching men who might not be seeing that.”
According to statistics from Diabetes Canada, in 2022, the prevalence of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes was at 17.2 per cent among First Nations living on reserve, and 12.7 per cent among those living off-reserve. Literature attributed to Janice Longboat, an Elder of the Turtle clan of the Mohawk Nation, describes the impact of forced relocations that moved many Indigenous Peoples away from traditional land-based foods, and made them reliant on ration boxes containing flour, salt, sugar and lard.
Pace adds that Indigenous Peoples are diagnosed with diabetes at a younger age and often have more severe symptoms when first diagnosed, making prevention and management of the disease a priority for Indigenous communities and health organizations like the IDHC. One of the main barriers to care for Indigenous people is a lack of culturally appropriate care.
In addition to visibility, Wright and Pace are focused on ensuring the video series offers a holistic approach, placing considerable emphasis on spiritual health, and the role of men in their families.
“There is a need for health resources that better reflect Indigenous Peoples holistic viewpoint, cultures, and traditions,” says Wright.
This holistic approach Pace adds resonates with Indigenous Peoples, because it allows the incorporation of Indigenous worldviews and wisdom, and demonstrates the connection between the mind, body and spirit.
“The holistic approach in Indigenous health practice sees the person as part of a community and culture, and a part of their environment. It empowers people to find health and healing outside of the health care system where they may face racism and
barriers to access, which is part of the goal of this series,” says Pace.
Brady Lacroix is one of the project participants, and describes himself as a dedicated supporter of health and wellness throughout Indigenous communities and across Turtle Island. He is a certified holistic recreation coach working in Indigenous communities where he speaks to men and youth about living a balanced and active lifestyle.
He draws inspiration he says from witnessing his father’s journey with melanoma and prostate cancer and the courageous way he saw his father handle those diagnoses including his ability to adjust his lifestyle.
“Conversations around men’s health are not always happening. It took me seeing my own father’s journey, to realize that we need to be talking to men about their health, their preservation, living a long life, and these are some of the conversations I have been seeking to have as a coach,” says Lacroix. He chose to participate in this project he says, because he feels strongly that any opportunity to pass knowledge on to the next generation, especially as a father, is a truly rewarding experience.
Some of what he hopes to convey through this video project series are the benefits of land-based activities.
“Reaching out to the land is incredibly healing and it requires activity, which can be as simple as walking, Nordic pole hiking, or being in the water. It is a good opportunity to find balance,” says Lacroix.
Filming of the video series Wright says, was intentionally done on the land to create a sense of engagement and connection for participants about what they feel wellness looks like to them. In addition to the video series, Wright’s research project will also look to create a training module for community health workers.
“From a nursing perspective, it is important to teach community health workers what culturally safe care looks like in order to provide the most equitable care to the communities that we serve,” says Wright. “This video series and the resources that will come from it, will provide additional tools for community health workers to draw upon that also reflect the community, and will help them build trust and relationships with the Indigenous clients they serve.”
The next phase of Wright’s research will include an analysis of the video’s reception from viewers as well as individuals from the IDHC. The hope, Wright says, is that more Indigenous men will be able to act as intermediaries in their families, and in their communities, to promote healthy living.
From a nursing perspective, it is important to teach community health workers what culturally safe care looks like in order to provide the most equitable care to the communities that we serve.”

IMPROVING ACCESS TO GENETIC TESTING
FOR HEREDITARY BREAST CANCER
Exploring equitable and improved access to genetic testing for women with breast cancer has been the foundation of Professor Kelly Metcalfe’s program of research for the past two decades.
Her research has actively set out to understand how access to genetic testing for cancer predisposition genes, including BRCA1 and BRCA2, at the time of diagnosis, can help women navigate their cancer treatment journey, which includes making informed decisions on surgical interventions such as bilateral mastectomy or breast conservation. What she has found in most of her studies, is that if women have access to genetic testing at the time of cancer diagnosis, they can use that genetic information to make informed treatment decisions. However, many women across Canada do not have access to genetic testing before cancer treatment is initiated.
“Most women who receive a breast cancer diagnosis do not know if they have a genetic mutation in a cancer predisposition gene,” says Metcalfe of the need for broader access to genetic testing. “We know from previous evidence that those who do have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation should receive different treatment for their cancer as it may impact their survival.”
Individuals who carry BRCA1 or BRCA2 pathogenic variants have an 80 per cent risk of developing breast cancer over the course of their lifetime. After a first diagnosis of breast cancer, they also have an elevated risk of developing a second breast cancer in the same or opposite breast. As a result, the treatment plans they are offered, take into consideration this elevated risk of new cancers. According to Metcalfe’s research, most women who know they have a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation at the time of breast cancer
If it were up to me, every woman would have access to this testing right now.”

diagnosis elect for bilateral mastectomy (removal of both breasts).
Additionally, there are new medical treatments that have been shown to only be effective in women with a BRCA mutation, which further emphasizes the importance of knowing if an individual has a genetic mutation prior to initiating treatment.
“For women who are at this vulnerable point in their cancer journey providing them with best information about their genetic status will allow them to make a more informed treatment plan in consultation with their care provider,” says Metcalfe who is also the Associate Dean of Research and External Relations at Bloomberg Nursing and a Senior Scientist with Women’s College Hospital Research Institute.
Currently in Canada, women with breast cancer who meet the criteria for genetic testing are referred to a regional genetic testing centre. This often requires travel to larger urban centres, where a woman receives genetic counselling and provides a blood sample.
According to Metcalfe, this creates a significant barrier for women who may reside in rural areas, or who have limited availability to travel especially at the time of cancer diagnosis when a woman is meeting with numerous cancer specialists.
To minimize these barriers and improve access to genetic testing, Metcalfe has been evaluating a new model of care for women who are diagnosed with breast cancer, called Direct Rapid Genetic Testing or DRGT.
Unlike other models of genetic testing, DRGT allows individuals from across Canada to test themselves using a saliva kit, they spit into a tube and then mail in their specimen to the genetic testing laboratory. Genetic test results, Metcalfe says, are received within one week.
“What makes this process more accessible is that women can conduct this test from the comfort of their homes and without having to first speak with a genetic counsellor or visit a blood collection lab. Instead, they are provided with access to virtual information videos and mail in a saliva sample,” says Metcalfe.
“We are in essence, revolutionizing the way we provide genetic testing to these women.”
Previous studies led by Metcalfe have shown that of the BRCA-positive patients, 95.7 per cent reported that they used their genetic test result to decide whether to elect to have a bilateral mastectomy. An additional study conducted by Metcalfe also showed that women who opted for this procedure did not experience any negative psychosocial outcomes.
“The majority of women want to know and understand their risk,” says Metcalfe. “If it were up to me, every woman would have access to this testing right now.”
Metcalfe and her team have recently finalized recruitment for this study
Over 1000 women from across Canada received genetic testing at the time of breast cancer diagnosis using this novel Direct Rapid Genetic Testing model of care. Many of these women would not normally have been able to access genetic testing at the time of cancer diagnosis.
Metcalfe and her team are now analyzing the study results, and will be evaluating patient and clinician satisfaction with this new model, in addition to looking at cancer treatment decisions in relation to genetic test results.
ROSENSTADT RESEARCH DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM
Since its launch in 2021, the Rosenstadt Research Development Program (RRDP) has provided countless research opportunities for students and faculty members alike at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing. The program has facilitated connections between Bloomberg Nursing undergraduate and graduate students with faculty researchers. These experiences have planted the seed of research interest particularly among the Faculty’s BScN students, helping them realize the importance of nursing perspectives in not only research but patient outcomes.
For Kathy McGilton, a professor (status) and Senior Scientist at KITE-Toronto Rehabilitation Institute, UHN, the RRDP has allowed her to mentor students by integrating them into her lab. It has also given her a chance to advocate for the area of research she is most passionate about, long-term care (LTC).
“We don’t see a lot of RN’s practicing in long-term care which is unfortunate because it is an environment in which they could lead. By involving nursing students in my work, I’m actively trying to have them embrace the possibility of working with older adults in the future and let them see the impact they can have,” says McGilton.
As part of the 2023 RRDP, McGilton connected with BScN student Nicholas Tseng (BScN 2024) and PhD graduate Shirin Vellani (now an adjunct faculty member), for a novel project examining the experiences of LGBTQ+ older adults who are admitted to long-term care.
The researchers identified gaps in supportive care in LTC and worked to establish an advisory committee that involved LTC residents as well as their care partners who identify as LGBTQIA+ who either have dementia or fear getting dementia.
“We were very lucky to have Nicholas as our RRDP student, he was passionate about the topic and it was inspirational to engage with him on this work,” says McGilton.
For his part, Tseng was involved in working on analyzing data for the literature review particularly the integration of palliative care approaches for LGBTQIA+ individuals. He is still actively involved in the research and currently looking at the implementation of “living labs” with McGilton, which he describes as going into LTC settings and coming up with quality improvement initiatives in direct partnerships with frontline workers and clinicians.
“I feel like as a future nurse it was really important for me to see the ways in which care can be improved,” says Tseng. One of the highlights of his time in the RRDP was meeting with primary investiga-
tors in Europe who are currently involved in integrating “living labs” into LTC. Being able to network with researchers from around the world and present alongside McGilton and Vellani, was a unique opportunity that Tseng says he will not soon forget.
“Having a research perspective has definitely made me a better clinician, and I know that I will have research be a part of my career,” says Tseng.

Professor Martine Puts believes that research is a team sport. It is why she has consistently involved BScN students in her research through the Rosenstadt Research Development Program.
“Nursing is a very practical program, there is no research project in the BScN program and the Rosenstadt Research Development Program helps us give students the chance
to be engaged in research topics they might never have considered, while fostering their future interest in nursing science,” says Puts.
Vivian Li (BScN ’24) has been involved in Puts’ current research project funded by the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, which has focused on inequity and aging in cancer treatment. The team is specifically looking to understand barriers to enrolling racialized older adults in clinical cancer trials, and how they might address these barriers with future interventions.
According to Puts there is currently evidence of such barriers in the US but limited data available for Canada. Li who has been involved in the literature review and as a first author on their published protocol identified examples of barriers for racialized older adults from her analysis, which included a lack of knowledge about clinical trials, financial limitations, transportation issues and mistrust, which is particularly prevalent in the US based on historical misconduct in health settings.
Puts adds that there is some data on racism in health care in Canada in the area of cancer screening, but little information exists on racism and outcomes pertaining to clinical cancer studies.
“Canada is a country of immigrants so it is likely the situation is the same here, but if we don’t measure data related to inequities with regards to age, race and gender, we cannot address it,” says Li. “In the US it is well-documented that racism in healthcare impacts quality of life and life expectancy, and that older Black Americans often receive a cancer diagnosis late, which can further delay their treatment.”
Li says that she has always wanted to be involved in oncology research since her first undergraduate degree. For her, the RRDP has provided an additional level of support to help her build her research capacity, including information sessions and training on best practices in research, and writing literature reviews.
“I think the more involved in research I am, the more I see how fundamental it is and how it guides our clinical practices and processes. It is necessary groundwork that has the ability to shape and improve the care we provide as nurses,” says Li.
This research project is now in the phase of recruiting participants for its stakeholder survey, which is available in 15 languages. Puts notes that she and her team are actively working with community organizations to disseminate the survey and have included both patients and policymakers in cancer care.
For Li the RRDP has also helped her realize the potential for graduate education in nursing.
“I am now very interested in continuing to be a part of research and pursing a graduate degree, including a PhD, it is something I had not considered before, and I’m very glad to have had this opportunity,” says Li.
Nursing is a very practical program, there is no research project in the BScN program and the Rosenstadt Research Development Program helps us give students the chance to be engaged in research topics they might never have considered, while fostering their future interest in nursing science.”

STUDENTS RECEIVE CIHR UNDERGRADUATE BLACK STUDENT RESEARCH AWARDS
In 2023, the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) launched their Black Student Undergraduate Research Awards (USRAs) program, which aims to provide research experience that complements a student’s respective degree program and inspires them to consider graduate studies in the fields of health and life sciences.
Three undergraduate students from the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing were successful in their applications. Zé Jonathon Yearwood, Zaynashae Boreland, and Sarah Elkhalifa are recipients of the 2023 CIHR USRAs. Each were paired with Bloomberg Nursing faculty members who are conducting research across a broad range of topics, including cognitive function among people affected by cancer, pain care in pediatric cancer populations, and the prevalence and impact of drug infusion clinics for high-cost biologics across Canada.
The opportunity to engage in research as part of their nursing undergraduate degree is something all three have found incredibly rewarding and they share that it has altered their perspective of how embedded the nursing profession is in driving solution-focused research that improves outcomes for patients. The program’s tailoring to Black students and encouragement of Black representation in research is also something they have indicated as a positive step forward.
“This program is definitely a step in the right direction with respect to increasing spaces and opportunities for Black students to be a part of research, and connect them with mentors in the field,” says Boreland, who is now a registered nurse at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids).
Throughout her time in the CIHR USRA program, Boreland worked closely with Assistant Professor Lindsay Jibb on a project evaluating a co-designed mobile application for parents of children with cancer. The app which features algorithm-based instructions, provides parents of children with cancer information about what they can do to manage their child’s pain at home, in addition to using medications.
As part of the project’s assessment phase, Boreland was involved in data collection, including transcribing interview transcripts, and coding data from parent and patient feedback which helped to determine the success and future progress of the mobile app.
“Listening to the transcripts describing patient experiences was a significant highlight for me of participating in this project. It was humbling to hear what the parents and patients are going through, and to be able to learn how this research is aiming to support them,” says Boreland.
According to Jibb, the project’s lead and a Scientist in Child Evaluative Health Sciences at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), Boreland’s work has been instrumental in helping her team learn how parents need to feel supported.
“We know that cancer pain is highly distressing for both parents and children, but we are hopeful that with this technological intervention, we will help parents feel empowered,” says Jibb. “Zaynashae has been a pleasure to work with on this project, her perspectives are unique, and she understands the importance of patient engagement in this research.”
For Zé Jonathon Yearwood, being a part of the CIHR USRA program has shifted his perspective about the role of nursing in patient care and allowed him to see the untapped potential for nurses to advocate for their patients through research.
Like Boreland, Yearwood says the fact that this program was tailored specifically for Black students is encouraging, especially considering that there is an under representation of Black students in the health sciences overall.
“I think it is important to see that our perspectives are valued in these spaces, I felt like I had a chance to foster my interest in research as a result of this opportunity,” says Yearwood.
Partnered with Associate Professor Samantha Mayo, a prominent researcher in hematological cancer survivorship, Yearwood worked on a project that assessed patients experiences of cognitive functioning and the ways in which cognitive functioning is assessed and managed in the clinical environment.
According to Mayo, who is also the RBC Financial Group Chair in Oncology Nursing Research, cognitive symptoms might include memory loss, difficulties concentrating or managing multiple tasks which can make returning to school or work more challenging.
As part of Mayo’s research team, Yearwood conducted observations of different cancer clinics particularly brain cancer clinics, and interviewed patients, caregivers, and clinical staff to understand how cognitive symptoms are screened for, and what kinds of services are offered.
“This experience has helped me to see that there is a systemic way to address issues in health care and has demystified the research process for me, I can definitely see myself pursuing further education as a result of this program,” says Yearwood.
For Mayo, having Yearwood as part of her research team has proved immensely beneficial. “Zé has been a fresh set of eyes noticing things as a student nurse that we might not have and asking questions that challenge our assumptions about this area of research and practice,” says Mayo.

PROVOST’S POSTDOCTORAL FELLOWSHIP
AIMABLE NKURUNZIZA TO CREATE TRAINING MODULE TO SUPPORT ACCESS TO PERINATAL SERVICES FOR ADOLESCENT MOTHERS IN RWANDA
Grundy an assistant professor at Bloomberg Nursing, shares similar sentiments about her research student Sarah Elkhalifa.
Grundy’s CIHR funded project is examining the extent to which private infusion clinics provide infusion-related care for people prescribed high-cost biologic and speciality medicines.
“Sarah’s involvement in our project was instrumental in developing key collaborations and furthering health system impact,” says Grundy. “It was her initiative and discovery of a report by Canada’s Drug Agency, (CADTH) that led to a meeting with scientists there and further discussions about the prevalence of private infusion clinics and health system capacity and readiness around infusion-related care.”
Elkhalifa helped to conduct a scan that would map more than 500 of these private infusion clinics across the country, and the results have shown that there is limited transparency across the board. Elkhalifa has also been involved in helping to write research protocols and developing infographics to summarize the preliminary findings of this research.
“I’ve found this whole experience to be really rewarding. I’ve always been interested in pursing research as part of my education and this opportunity has enabled me to see how important knowledge translation is, and the impact it can have on health policy,” says Elkhalifa.
In addition to being able to meet other people and learn more about the collaborative nature of nursing research, Elkhalifa, who is also the President of the Canadian Black Nurses Alliance U of T Chapter, shared that this research opportunity for Black students is a positive commitment and incentivizes more students who identify as Black to be involved in research.
Aimable Nkurunziza is a recipient of the University of Toronto’s 2023 Provost’s Postdoctoral Fellowship, an annual program that provides funding to support the hiring of post-doctoral fellows from underrepresented groups. He is working under the supervision of Bloomberg Nursing Professor Cindy-Lee Dennis, a prominent researcher in the field of maternal mental health.
Nkurunziza aims to create a training intervention for nurses and midwives in Rwanda that will improve health outcomes and reduce barriers to care access for young adolescent women in primary care settings. He has seen first-hand the unique challenges faced by young adolescent women in Rwanda who require appropriate reproductive and perinatal health care.
As a former assistant lecturer at the University of Rwanda and the Rwandan lead of the Center of International Reproductive Health Training (CIRHT), Nkurunziza is tasked with integrating family planning and comprehensive abortion care in nursing and midwifery curricula.
Together, he and Professor Dennis will evaluate and develop training modules that will be accessible not only to medical care providers, but also community health workers, who are often the ones connecting young pregnant women with health care services.
“These individuals are not formally educated, but they are trusted by members of the community,” says Nkurunziza. “They play a big role in identifying pregnant women and linking them with health care facilities to ensure they receive appropriate care including immunizations and follow-up antenatal care.”
As part of his post-doctoral work, Nkurunziza’s intervention and training module will utilize activity tested by EQUIP for Health Equity in Canada, a collaboration with the University of British Columbia and Western University that includes curriculum geared towards training nurses and health care providers about how to provide trauma- and violence-informed care.
During his PhD at Western University, Nkurunziza explored how perinatal services in primary healthcare settings in Rwanda supported adolescent mothers to inform the delivery of trauma- and violence-informed care. He also examined the antenatal care (ANC) and Prevent To Mother Child Transmission (PMTCT) guidelines and policies used in primary healthcare settings in Rwanda to understand the extent to which they were traumaand violence-informed.
What he uncovered, was that although some adolescent women might have an initial positive experience with the primary care they receive, many of the policies and practices in place retraumatize them or create barriers to future care access.
He points specifically to a policy around HIV testing, that is offered to all new mothers as well as their partners and husbands. For adolescent mothers who come alone to the clinic, they are offered these services only after they provide an explanation or copy of permission from their local leaders, which further delays their care, and access to appropriate care services.
Nkurunziza is hopeful that his research will not only improve the lives of young women in Rwanda, but also inspire a new generation of researchers who wish to support women’s health.
I am passionate about conducting research that improves health outcomes for women, children and families, particularly from a social justice and health equity lens.”

“Healthy mothers are better equipped to raise healthy children, which in turn creates a healthy society. It is also why I am passionate about conducting research that improves health outcomes for women, children and families, particularly from a social justice and health equity lens,” says Nkurunziza.
INTERNATIONAL DOCTORAL RESEARCH AWARD WINNERS
WORK TO IMPROVE CARE IN GHANA AND RWANDA FOR WOMEN AND INFANTS
Two PhD students from the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, Kokui Klutse and Marie Goretti Uwayzu, are the successful recipients of the 2022 and 2023 International Doctoral Research Award (IDRC) presented by Universities Canada. The annual awards which recognize exemplary PhD students, also serve to help build capacity and research in areas that will aid in the improvement of people’s lives in the developing world.
For Klutse, a registered pediatric nurse from Ghana, winning this award is also a testament to the support of her supervisory committee and Professor Linda Johnston, whom she says have made her feel immensely welcome as an international PhD student.
“There have been countless times where I have experienced imposter syndrome, especially when I attended my first class in the program and noticed I was the only Black student there,” says Klutse, “but the encouragement and cordial relationship between students and staff, which is a hallmark of U of T and the Faculty of Nursing in particular, has made me feel like I was right where I should be.”
Klutse’s research explores developmentally supportive care practices for preterm infants in Ghana. It is a two-phase study that will first use a quantitative approach to describe what the preterm infant populations are like in three healthcare facilities in Ghana, and include key points about the gestational ages, feeding modalities, congenital abnormalities, and kangaroo care practice, all of which can affect preterm infant survival.
Klutse’s research is also aligned with one of Ghana’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDG goal 3); which aims to reduce the global neonatal mortality rate to 12 per 1000 live births by 2030. The current neonatal mortality rate in Ghana is close to 25 per 1000 live births, and Klutse is hopeful her research will facilitate the creation of new policies that support better care for preterm infants in the NICU.
“We don’t need a million dollars to implement these interventions; we need individual commitment and changes at the policy level,” says Klutse.
We don’t need a million dollars to implement these interventions; we need individual commitment and changes at the policy level.”
Kokui Klutse PhD Student
Marie Goretti Uwayezu, supervised by Professor Kelly Metcalfe, is originally from Rwanda and has worked as an oncology nurse, clinical instructor, and assistant lecturer in the School of Nursing and Midwifery at the University of Rwanda. As a result of her experience, Uwayezu has seen first-hand in her clinical role, the number of women living in Rwanda who are diagnosed with late-stage breast cancer.
“Research has shown that close to 70 per cent of women with breast cancer living in Rwanda are diagnosed with stage 3 or 4 of the disease and this is despite the establishment of the Rwandan Women Early Detection Program which is aimed at preventing this late-stage detection of the disease,” says Uwayezu.
Uwayezu will be exploring the association between certain social demographic factors and health focused ideologies on the use of breast cancer screening modalities in women living in Rwanda. She is hopeful her research will be able to support future recommendations about what more can be done to prevent detection of breast cancer at late stages.
Nurse-led interventions such as education sessions and community outreach, are often underutilized methods of engaging with populations to provide important preventative health care, and Uwayezu envisions these types of interventions as being key to improving health outcomes for women in Rwanda.
“Detecting breast cancer at an earlier stage improves survival and care options immensely, and we should be doing all we can to ensure women in Rwanda have the opportunity to access the care that they need and deserve,” says Uwayezu.
NAVPREET KAMBOJ WINS
CNIA AWARD FOR DIVERSIFYING NURSING INFORMATICS
Navpreet Kamboj was the recipient of the 2023 Canadian Nursing Informatics Association Award for Diversifying & Strengthening Nursing Informatics, an award that aims to amplify the role of nursing informatics and make it more accessible. Kamboj submitted an essay attesting to the need for nursing informatics and shared her thoughts on what she hoped to see achieved in nursing informatics in the future.
The award also recognizes the calibre of Kamboj’s doctoral work under the supervision of Dr. Aaron Conway and Bloomberg Nursing Assistant Professor, Charlene Chu. Her research includes developing a clinical decision support system in collaboration with nurses, that provides blood pressure predictions for patients on nitroglycerin.
The challenge with intravenous nitroglycerin, Kamboj says, is that there is no standard dose. Nurses must manually increase or decrease the dosage depending on how the patient responds. This can be problematic as nitroglycerin has a significant effect on blood pressure.
As part of her research, Kamboj wanted to see if there was a way to better adjust the dose by using machine learning to predict a patient’s blood pressure. This could potentially help nurses make informed decisions in advance about adjusting the dose so that patients could have chest pain relief without experiencing the negative side effects.
A key feature of Kamboj’s research is that it is co-designed with and for nurses, giving them an important opportunity to lead in the field of nursing informatics. To better understand how nurses engage with the interface, 20 nurses helped to design the nitroglycerin decision support system.
“Having nurses involved in the design and empowering them to provide feedback can increase the use of this decision support system and the likelihood of it being adopted in clinical settings. The world is changing so fast and AI-powered technologies such as decision support systems have become embedded in nurses’ daily workflows.” says Kamboj.
Despite this shift, Kamboj notes that there is very little training provided on nursing informatics – particularly in AI and its application in clinical settings.
“Nurses are leaders and innovators, and to effectively shape the future of healthcare, nurses must understand the transformative power of AI in nursing practice and its impact on patient care,” says Kamboj.

SSHRC RECIPIENT JESSICA MOR EXAMINES THE COMMERCIALIZATION OF PATIENT EXPERIENCES
A few years ago, PhD student Jessica Mor happened upon a social media post on Instagram that featured Kim Kardashian advertising a particular morning sickness medication on her platform. The endorsement by the influencer did not however include any of the risks or side effects of the medication, effectively breaking US advertising laws, and resulting in Kardashian being forced by US regulators, to delete her post.
This social media frenzy drew Mor’s interest, particularly the relationship between social media influencers, and the health and pharmaceutical industry, including its subsequent impact on patient safety. Her doctoral research at Bloomberg Nursing, however, also looks at another key player.
Third-party for-profit companies have emerged to create a thriving industry that seeks to identify, collect, analyze, and share data about patient experiences with drugs, including facilitating relationships between patient advocates and pharmaceutical companies.
“There is very little known about these companies, or how this industry operates. We also don’t know much about how the commercialization of insights about the patient experience might impact policies or the promotion of pharmaceutical products,” says Mor of her research. “The goal of my project is to describe the role of third-party, for-profit companies in facilitating the sharing of patient experience within pharmaceutical and health systems.”
Mor’s project is a successful recipient of the 2023 Social Science and Humanities Research Council (SSHRC) Doctoral Fellowship, and is supervised by Assistant Professor Quinn Grundy, whose program of research also examines industry sponsorship and the commercial determinants of health. According to the World Health Organization, the commercial determinants of health refer to the activities of the private sector that affect population health both directly or indirectly and positively or negatively.
Mor’s research is exploratory in nature, and, she says, a significant opportunity to map a novel industry that appears to have evolved to address the need for patient engagement and representation in policy processes designed to inform decisions about drugs. One of the ways she has decided to do this, is by finding samples of third-party companies, and analyzing their process, including who they work with and the activities they engage in.
Mor has a obtained a pilot sample of 19 companies from Canada, the US, Europe, and Australia, and will be one of the first to examine closely how they foster connections between patient advocates
and pharmaceutical and health systems, including the role that they play in facilitating the sharing of patient experiences. The second phase of her study will include recruiting participants, ideally, she says, current or recent employees of these companies, who will be able to provide important context to gathered data.
From her early observations Mor has seen that the range of services provided by some of these companies is diverse. Though they do not seem limited to a particular health condition, she has observed a greater focus on rare diseases or patients with chronic conditions. Many of the third-party companies have created websites to provide patients, particularly those living with a chronic condition, a place to connect with others who live with a similar condition in an online community environment. While this may be a positive and beneficial opportunity for patients, companies are also aggregating and analyzing the insights gleaned from these community platforms and commercializing them. Some of these insights include patient experiences with various treatments for healthcare conditions, or services or supports that are needed, and pharmaceutical companies are these companies’ primary clients.
“It is important for patients to be involved in how drugs or devices get approved and having their engagement is a good thing, but the question I’m seeking answers to, is how do we mitigate any negative impacts from commercializing patient experiences and ensure diverse, equitable representation of patients’ lived experiences within health system and policy processes,” says Mor.
In terms of subsequent impacts, Mor points to various possibilities, including understanding ways to facilitate patient engagement in research, health system design, and policy processes, which might include public or other independent sources of funding for patient organizations or patient partners.
“Additionally, we should be looking at the implications of these relationships for pharmaceutical research, regulatory, payer, and prescriber decisions in the public interest. Generating this knowledge is important as it can help to shape future research and policy priorities,” says Mor.
The goal of my project is to describe the role of third-party, for-profit companies in facilitating the sharing of patient experience within pharmaceutical and health systems.”

JENNIFER STINSON RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS CIHR BARER-FLOOD PRIZE IN HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH
Jennifer Stinson, a renowned researcher in the field of chronic pain management in children, has received the 2023 Barer-Flood Prize from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) in recognition of her development of an innovative mobile app call ICanCope which supports young people living with sickle cell disease (SCD).
The prize, named in honour of the first two Scientific Directors of CIHR-IHSPR, Drs. Morris Barer and Colleen Flood, recognizes the highest-ranking senior-career investigator who identifies as a woman, and their research excellence.
Dr. Stinson, a Professor at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, Institute of Health Policy, Management and Evaluation, and Temerty Department of Anesthesiology & Pain Medicine, describes ICanCope as an adjunct to the care that young people with SCD receive in hospital, and sees it primarily as a way to help them with chronic pain management.
“We know we cannot cure or alleviate the pain, but we can empower young people to live well with pain, and to manage it with resources and strategies that are effective, building their confidence in leading a fulfilling life,” says Stinson who also holds the Mary Jo Haddad Nursing Chair in Child Health and is a Senior Scientist in Child Health Evaluative Sciences at the Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids).
With the support of the Barer-Flood prize, Stinson is now implementing the app in SCD clinics across Canada and assessing how these clinics prescribe and champion the app for patients, and what obstacles might be in the way of ensuring all patients have access to the app. The multidisciplinary team, led by Dr. Stinson and co-PI Dr. Chitra Lalloo (The Hospital for Sick Children; University of Toronto), includes top researchers and clinicians from across North America as well as three youth patient partners with lived experience of SCD pain.
We know we cannot cure or alleviate the pain, but we can empower young people to live well with pain, and to manage it with resources and strategies that are effective, building their confidence in leading a fulfilling life.” Jennifer Stinson, Professor
APPOINTED TO CANADIAN AND AMERICAN ACADEMIES OF NURSING
Professor’s Monica Parry and Kimberley Widger have been named as Fellows to the Canadian and American Academies of Nursing (CAN and AAN). This dual honour highlights the impact of their scholarly and innovative work as researchers in the fields of women’s cardio vascular care and pediatric palliative care.
Parry, who is also a practicing Nurse Practitioner and member of the Global Cardiovascular Nursing Leadership Forum, aims to reduce the burden of cardiovascular disease in women by 2030. She has led the development and testing of innovative interventions including web apps and a chatbot named Holly, to help women improve knowledge, symptom recognition, and management of their heart disease, especially those who live in rural or remote settings.
“Women with cardiac pain and cardiac symptoms are under-diagnosed and under-treated,” says Parry, “that’s why it is imperative we continue to address this gap with our research, and I am grateful for the recognition that the CAN and AAN is providing through these fellowships.”
Widger, who is also the Canada Research Chair in Pediatric Palliative Care, and Nursing Research Associate with the Pediatric Advanced Care Team (PACT) at the Hospital for Sick Children, has led a program of research aimed at advancing quality palliative care for children with life-threatening illnesses and their families. Most recently she has partnered with the Canadian Alliance for Children’s Grief (CACG) to better understand the prevalence of children’s grief across Canada and the types of support or lack thereof available to children.
“Being recognized by both of these high-profile organizations is an honour, and I am pleased that the work I do to achieve health equity for children with life-threatening illness and their families, is being highlighted on a larger scale, as we continue to work to ensure children receive the care they need and deserve,” says Widger.
KELLY METCALFE RECEIVES NATIONAL AND INTERNATIONAL AWARDS
IN RECOGNITION OF HER GROUNDBREAKING RESEARCH
Kelly Metcalfe, professor and associate dean of research and external relations at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, is the recipient of three high profile awards that recognize the calibre of her solution-focused and groundbreaking research that has improved the lives of women with a genetic predisposition for breast cancer.
In 2023, Metcalfe, who is also a Senior Scientist at Women’s College Hospital Research Institute, was named a Canadian Academy of Nursing Fellow and received the Order of Merit from the Canadian Nurses Association (CNA). Both awards emphasize the outstanding contributions of Metcalfe’s research and its impact on nursing clinical practice, specifically the prevention and treatment of hereditary breast cancers.
“I’m passionate about saving and improving the lives of women who have an elevated risk of breast and ovarian cancers,” says Metcalfe, “It is an honour for my work and its impact to be recognized by the Canadian Nurses Association and the Canadian Academy of Nursing, and to be named among the many accomplished nurse scientists across the country.”
For decades Metcalfe has led a program of research on investigating how to prevent and treat cancers in individuals with a genetic predisposition to developing cancer, including the development and evaluation of models of care to increase access to genetic testing. Metcalfe’s current research is focused on assessing an alternate model of care called Direct Rapid Genetic Testing or DRGT, for Canadians at high-risk of having a BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation.
In early 2024, Metcalfe along with 30 world-renowned nurse researchers, was inducted into the International Nurse Researcher Hall of Fame by the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. This tremendous honour reiterates her lasting impact on the field of nursing science.
MARTINE PUTS RECEIVES AWARD FOR EXCELLENCE IN NURSING RESEARCH
THE RENEWAL OF CANADA RESEARCH CHAIR OF FRAIL OLDER ADULTS AND 2023 ELIZABETH MCWILLIAMS MILLER AWARD
Martine Puts, a professor at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing has been successfully renewed as the Tier 2 Chairholder of the Canada Research Chair of Frail Older Adults, a position she has held since 2018.
The Canada Research Chair recognizes Puts overall calibre of research which specifically aims to investigate ways in which to empower older adults to better meet their needs throughout their health care experiences.
As she continues to work towards improving care for older adults, Puts’ most recent project, funded by the Princess Margaret Hospital Foundation, aims to address inequity and aging in cancer treatment by looking at barriers to the enrollment of racialized older adults in clinical cancer trials.
In 2023, Puts also received the Elizabeth McWilliams Miller Award for Excellence in Research, from the Sigma Theta Tau International Honor Society of Nursing. The award recognizes the high standards of the nursing profession and the impact of nurse-led research in areas of education and practice.
Puts is one of the few Canadians to be recognized with this award drawing international attention to the outstanding impact of her research contributions that have aimed to improve the quality of life and treatment of older adults with cancer.
“I can honestly say it is a surprise to have won, and it is wonderful recognition of my work,” says Puts. “This award shines a spotlight on the importance of conducting research that considers the outcomes of current practices and seeks to improve the care of older adults, whether that is in long-term care, or in the treatment of certain diseases like cancer.”
Some of Puts’ additional research demonstrating her impact have included the first multi-centre trial of geriatric assessment and management in Canada, as well as the Frail Sub-Study which explored the needs of frail older adults, and their caregivers, undergoing surgery.
This award shines a spotlight on the importance of conducting research that considers the outcomes of current practices and seeks to improve the care of older adults.

ALEXIA CUMAL RECEIVES CIHR DOCTORAL AWARD
TO EXAMINE NURSE-LED MOBILITY INTERVENTION IN TRANSITIONAL CARE PROGRAMS
Alexia Cumal, a PhD student at the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, received a 2022 Canadian Institutes of Health Research (CIHR) Doctoral Grant in support of her innovative doctoral research evaluating a nurse-led mobility intervention within Transitional Care Programs or (TCPs) in Ontario.
TCPs are a creative solution for providing older adults with an alternative level of care (ALC) if they no longer meet the requirements for acute care but cannot yet be discharged home. Cumal who works as a registered nurse on an acute care for elders unit, has witnessed an increasing number of older adults who require alternate levels of care. In 2021, a Canadian Medical Association report found that 44 per cent of ALC patients are waiting for longterm care while 11 per cent are waiting for home care.
“This is significant because it not only indicates that we need more transitional care programs but also that there is some fine tuning required to ensure these programs have the resources in place to assist older adults with cognitive impairment,” says Cumal who is also a Research Trainee at KITE Research Institute, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute – University Health Network. “I wanted to see if nurse-led mobility interventions could be a part of the solution.”
Focusing on mobility, Cumal along with her PhD supervisor Kathy McGilton, a Professor (status) at Bloomberg Nursing and a Senior Scientist at KITE Research Institute, Toronto Rehabilitation Institute – University Health Network, are examining the feasibility of, satisfaction with, and effectiveness of a nurse-led mobility intervention called the OASIS Walking Intervention.
The OASIS Walking Intervention stands for Older Adults with cognitive impairment performing SIt to Stands and Walking Intervention. It is delivered by a Registered Nurse in transitional care units and consists of 3 components: 1) a patient-centred communication care plan; 2) sit to stand activity; and 3) a walking program. The intervention duration is 45 minutes per session, 5 sessions per week, for 6 weeks. The detailed protocol for Cumal’s study has been published in the PLOS ONE journal.
Cumal says that mobility interventions that have been tested in long-term care settings have resulted in significant improvements to mobility, functional status, and quality of life for older adults with cognitive impairment. It is expected that a nurse-led mobility intervention which combines walking and sit to stand activity together with a patient-centred communication care plan, will also result in improvements to outcomes for older adults with cognitive impairment in TCPs.
“My hope is that I will continue to positively impact the care and health outcomes of older adults with cognitive impairment through my research and underscore that mobility should be prioritized by nurses, both in transitional care units and in all health care settings, strength, and quality of life,” says Cumal.
My hope is that I will continue to positively impact the care and health outcomes of older adults with cognitive impairment through my research.”

FUNDING PRIORITIES FUNDING PRIORITIES
At the Lawrence Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, we are committed to advancing healthcare through innovations in research that drive improvement in nursing practice, education, and the health care system at large. Our growing community of over 12,000 alumni is comprised of scholars, practitioners and changemakers who are working to create better health care for everyone across the life span.
As we move into the second half of the University’s Defy Gravity campaign, Bloomberg Nursing continues to build upon the strengths of our world-class researchers as they improve care for older adults and address critical disparities in health care access for equity deserving groups.
Whether they are exploring the ability of artificial intelligence to help older adults age safely in their own homes
or examining discrimination in the provision of care to racialized and LGBTQ2S+ older adults, Bloomberg Nursing researchers are uniquely positioned to lead in the development of advanced scholarship that will revitalize healthcare for older adults. Through co-designed qualitative and quantitative research, Bloomberg Nursing aims to find solutions that will successfully meet the complex health needs and challenges of our aging population.
As part of the Defy Gravity campaign, Bloomberg Nursing seeks donor funding to further cement our global leadership in gerontological nursing through deepened research collaborations and partnerships. Together, we will educate registered nurses and nurse practitioners to be ready to face the challenges of care for older adults in the decades ahead.
