Please join us for NURSING GRAND ROUNDS March 12th noon on ZOOM
by Diana McMillan 04 Mar '24

04 Mar '24

Extending a warm welcome to you and your colleagues to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2024 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series! [Date: March 12th, 2024, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Presenter: Dr. Catherine Baxter, RN, PhD, Assistant Professor, Faculty of Health Sciences, Brandon University Title: Promoting Health of Long-Haul Truck Drivers in Manitoba: A Multi-level Approach] [cid:image003.png@01DA6E52.D36E8460] https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/65528632729?pwd=VXJaVXhZQ2NwVDZwOXQybk9YakxqUT09 Meeting ID: 655 2863 2729 Passcode: 113188 Background. Long-haul truck drivers have been identified as a high-risk population for chronic conditions. Workplace health promotion programs that largely focus on changing individual worker behaviours have had limited success. A social ecological perspective that targets both workers' behaviours, as well as environmental factors, has been cited as a more effective approach to health promotion programming. Methods. Through a social-ecological lens this mixed methods study explored how the mobile work environment supports or hinders health behaviours amongst long-haul truck drivers. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 participants, diet and activity logs, and an environmental assessment of the TransCanada and Yellowhead Highways between Manitoba and Alberta. Framework Analysis was used to conduct the thematic analysis. Findings. Individual, occupational and policy level influences were identified as impacting the health and health behaviours of participants. This presentation will discuss ways to incorporate a multi-level approach into workplace health promotion programming. Upcoming Presentations Tuesday April 9th, 2024 12:00 - 1:00 pm Dr. Kristen Gulbransen, RN, PhD, Instructor, Red Deer Polytechnic, Red Deer AB: A novel care model: Maternity care experiences of pregnant individuals who use substances.

Hi everyone! Please see the below information forwarded from the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. Hello, I hope this email finds you well. My name is Teresa Clifton, and I am a staff member with the Children’s Hospital Foundation of Manitoba. I am thrilled to share the exciting news that the Children’s Hospital Foundation’s in-person Teddy Bears’ Picnic is returning to Assiniboine Park on September 8, 2024.

We would be honored to have you as part of this special day by being a health care volunteer at Assiniboine Park. Your participation would contribute significantly to the success of the event in assisting with bear exams, surgery, casting, admitting and more. A bit of history of the Teddy Bears’ Picnic, for the past 33 years, the Teddy Bears’ Picnic has been a cherished annual event organized by a dedicated team of volunteers and has welcomed an audience of over 30,000 families and their children. Its purpose is to provide a joyous family day while raising awareness about the experiences of sick and injured children at the hospital and in the Children’s Hospital Research Institute areas. As a health care volunteer, you will get to experience the exciting activities that include the Dr. Goodbear tent, offering medical tests, MRI’s, X-Rays, and more for children, teddy bears, and families. We also have the "I want to be a Scientist" tent, designed to engage children in science-based activities, fostering imagination and curiosity.

Nursing Grand Rounds February 13th - All Welcome

Extending a warm welcome to you and your colleagues to join us at the Catalysts for Care 2024 Nursing Grand Rounds Speaker Series! [Date: February 13th, 2024, 12:00 - 1:00 pm, ZOOM presentation. Presenter: Emily Phillips, RN, MN, PhD(C), CCN(C), Vanier Scholar, Applied Health Sciences, University of Manitoba & Cardiac Sciences, Winnipeg Regional Health Authority Title: Early mobility to improVE health outcomes following cardiac surgery (EVE) Clinical Feasibility Trial Development.] [A person with long curly hair smiling Description automatically generated] https://ca01web.zoom.us/j/61300054714?pwd=Y2MyODFEZmU3aGxLemlOSTRLcjFhQT09 Meeting ID: 613 0005 4714 Passcode: 594642 For cardiac surgery (CS) patients, mobilization within the first 24 hours post-operatively supports improved physical health outcomes. Early mobility, whether via ambulation or cycle ergometer, is safe for CS patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), with studies reporting minimal adverse events and hemodynamic stability with mobilization 12 hours postoperatively. Both the ICU Liberation Bundle and the Enhanced Recovery After Surgery (ERAS) CS guidelines advocate for the early mobility of patients in the ICU. Despite being safe and recommended, knowledge gaps concerning modality effectiveness among early mobility interventions and the definition of what early means, underlie the current lack of integration of early mobility into CS ICU clinical care. Guided by a pragmatist worldview, this doctoral thesis aims to develop early mobility interventions informed by patients with life experience (PWLE), clinicians, and the literature and to test the feasibility of the interventions through four studies. First, a scoping review of published early mobility interventions to map the CS ICU early mobility literature to understand the early mobility interventions used in studies of various designs will be completed. Next, an observational study using behaviour mapping to gain an understanding of the current state of early mobility in the CS ICU will occur. The development of early mobility interventions informed by PWLE, clinicians, and the literature will begin engaging PWLE in body mapping and virtual consultation workshops to understand their experiences of early mobility, to identify barriers and facilitators to early mobility, and to identify and prioritize patient-reported outcome and experience measures. Focus groups will then occur to delve into clinicians' perceptions of barriers and facilitators to early mobility. This knowledge will be integrated with existing literature to develop two early mobility interventions, which will then be refined, and feasibility tested. Overall, this research aims to generate high-quality, lived experience-informed evidence to support the future efficacy evaluation of early mobility interventions following CS to reduce the incidence of CS PICS.

Donations Needed!
by Nursing Students' Association 05 Feb '24

05 Feb '24

Hi everyone, We are fourth-year nursing students, Sophia and Leigha, completing our community rotation at an agency working with newcomer refugee children and youth. As you may know, many refugee children and youth come from low-income families. As a result, it is often a struggle for families to provide essential school supplies required for academic success. We are seeking donations of school supplies which are listed in the poster attached to this email. These items will come in the form of backpack kits and given to children transitioning into our education system. The supplies donated will not only help the children and their education, but also the financial burden that their families may experience. There will be specially marked boxes outside of the NSA office in Helen Glass from February 5th to February 16th. All donation items must be new or unopened. Thank you for considering! Warm regards, Sophia & Leigha
