RÉSUMÉLes maisons de soins infirmiers au Canada sont devenues de plus en plus dépendante des aides soignants immigrants. Plus qu’aucun autre groupe ethnique, les femmes philippines sont surrépresentées parmi les aidants (aides soignantes) dans le système de soins de santé canadien. Cette étude qualitative a exploré les expériences d’emploi des aides soignants immigrantes dans les maisons de soins infirmiers, de leurs points de vues, ainsi que ceux des intervenants. Quatorze entrevues ont été menées à Winnipeg, au Manitoba, avec aides de soins de santé philippines et avec les intervenants de soins de longue durée. Les résultats indiquaient que les réseaux sociaux immigrants agissent comme des voies reliant les femmes immigrantes des opportunités d’emploi dans les maisons des soins infirmiers. La composition de la main-d’œuvre est également faconnée par les stratégies de gestion et les ajustements du marché du travail, qui répondent à et renforcent ces réseaux sociaux. Ces résultats ont des implications pour la planification de la main-d’œuvre et la qualité de la prestation de soins dans les maisons de soins infirmiers.

Abstract BackgroundRecruiting busy health care providers into research can be challenging. Yet, the success of a research project can hinge on recruitment response rates. This article uses a case study to demonstrate how qualitative researchers creatively readjusted their methods when standard methods were not yielding enough recruitment response with the aim of supporting other researchers with their recruitment. MethodsCase Example – Interest was expressed but response rates were low among nurses and health care aides in a research project on person-centred health care in a personal care home research site. The research team reconceptualized the participation design, creating a research ‘event’, which accommodated the time constraints and work culture of the respondents. The research event was much better attended than standard interview recruitment.ResultsThe research event approach overcame barriers to participation. An 80% response rate resulted. Standard response rates for research interviews tend to be well under 20%.DiscussionSuccessful recruitment hinged on the researcher’s willingness to reconceptualize the recruitment approach part-way through, when recruitment difficulties were encountered. The high response could be attributed to the methods’ alignment to the available time and work culture in respondent-centred ways. The results suggest that attending to aspects of the work culture can increase recruitment, improve the chances of successful data collection, and reduce the likelihood of research ‘stall’.ConclusionNew and creative approaches to recruiting nurses and health care aides to qualitative research studies can help to meet recruitment targets. Rethinking and redesigning recruitment strategies after research begins, can be a mark of a successful research strategy and not a failure of research design.

The objective of this research was to explore the life-world of migrant women health care-aides, focusing on their on their own subjective understandings of caregiving and the market for care in Canada. Qualitative interviews ranging in length from one to three hours produced snapshots of the social and cultural fractures endemic to the migration and settlement process. I argue that women's caregiving practice is an aspect of an ethics of care that allows for moments of empowerment and resistance to an oppressive social context shaped by a matrix of race, class and gender hierarchies.

AbstractObjective:A qualitative pilot study was conducted to identify and describe expert behaviors in care of the dying resident in a personal care home setting from the perspective of health care aides (N= 5) nominated by their peers as demonstrating excellence in end-of-life care.Methods:Data was collected through audio-taped semi-structured interview, and transcribed verbatim using constant-comparative analysis procedures.Results:The over-arching theme emerging from the data was “caring as if it were my family.” Subsumed within this main theme included the sub-themes of: (1) care of the resident; (2) tending to the environment; (3) care of the family; (4) going to bat; and (5) processing loss.Significance of results:The findings from this pilot study provide preliminary empirical evidence that could inform educational programs for and performance evaluation of, health care aides providing end-of-life care in personal care home environments.

Abstract Health care aides provide direct care for older residents with advanced dementia in long-term care facilities. This study aims to understand care aides’ perceptions of what is ‘good’ care, what is person-centered care, and how to provide person-centered care for older residents with advanced dementia, as preparatory work of the WE-THRIVE consortium’s efforts to develop internationally-relevant common data elements of person-centered dementia care and launch comparative research in LMICs. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with health care aides (N=35) from 2 government-owned and 2 private long-term care facilities in urban China. Directed and conventional content analysis were used, drawing upon core constructs of person-centered dementia care and Nolan’s (2006) senses framework. We found that although care aides were not trained in person-centered care, they did incorporate person-centeredness in their work by tailoring their care to the needs of older residents and facilitating interactions with residents and their peers through communication cues.
