This study aimed to gain insight into the feelings and perceptions of family members who witness an adult family member resuscitation. Little is known about family members' experiences and their needs and priorities. Resuscitation is a complex and highly emotive situation but guidance for paramedics to support families either in the decision-making process or to remain present is limited. Policy developments around improved and shared decision making are not evident in any guidance for resuscitation for paramedics. Paramedics have always been involved in resuscitation in the family home, but as they remain on scene for longer periods, it is important that the issue of family participation is addressed and specific guidance produced to enable paramedics to offer more focused and enhanced support to them, and involve the family members in the decision-making process which is a requirement from recent policy developments.

“…Where available, such scales can provide users of the ITEA method with support in determining the quality of the evidence available, and are therefore a useful adjunct to the process. In this study, the Rosalind Franklin Qualitative Research Appraisal Instrument (RF-QRA) (Henderson and Rheault 2004) or the National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) standards (NHMRC 2000) were used, as their rating scales (for qualitative and quantitative research, respectively) are analogous (see Table 1). The RF-QRA evaluates a qualitative study's standards of trustworthiness, measured on a five-point scale, through credibility, transferability, dependability, and confirmability.…”

Introduction The aim of this article is to describe and explain a new method for integrating theory and evidence that enables practitioners to translate evidence into action applied in their practice. Method A new multiple methods procedure called the Integrating Theory, Evidence and Action method is described. It is a mixed method that progresses through seven distinct steps: clinical question, framework, identification, deconstruction, analysis, reconstruction, and transfer/utilization. An example of using this method to review evidence around occupational therapy with people recovering from alcohol misuse and/or abuse is provided. Findings This method highlights the importance of theory, tests the empirical strength of theories, includes diverse forms of evidence, and encourages the integration of knowledge within clinical practice. Conclusion The Integrating Theory, Evidence and Action method is accessible and useful to practitioners and will support their efforts to make their practice evidence based. Current methods of evidence-based practice focus mostly on research evidence (particularly quantitative evidence); however, research is only one of the ways of knowing that practitioners draw upon to guide their practice. This method enables occupational therapists to integrate theory, evidence, and practice in a coherent and translatable way.

“…Qualitative methods seek to describe the complex nature of perceptions of experience within the specific social context in which the experience occurs. 22 Such methods are therefore well suited to investigating the essence of the meaning of mentorship, which is a complex experiential process influenced by many factors.…”

Purpose: To describe the meaning of mentorship among Canadian orthopaedic physiotherapists. Methods: As part of a phenomenological qualitative study, 14 registered physiotherapists (13 women, 1 man) each participated in a single 60-minute, semi-structured face-to-face interview. Participants reflected on their experiences in receiving and providing mentorship and described the impact of mentorship on their careers. Interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using a phenomenological approach. Results: Participants described mentorship as any nurturing process in which they used their skills and experience to guide, teach, and encourage a less skilled or less experienced colleague for the purpose of promoting professional and personal development. Participants experienced mentorship as a positive, reflective phenomenon. According to participants, the true essence of mentorship in physiotherapy consists of building passion, keeping fresh, making us stronger, and promoting deeper learning. Conclusions: Building a shared passion for learning, as well as a mentor's commitment to the mentee's success, forms the foundation of meaningful mentorship in physiotherapy. These mentoring relationships enable physiotherapists to adapt to the changing health care system, advance patient care, and develop the profession.Key Words: continuing education; mentors; physical therapy; qualitative research; rehabilitation. RÉ SUMÉObjectif : L'objectif de cette é tude consistait à dé crire la signification du mentorat pour la communauté des physiothé rapeutes orthopé diques au Canada. Mé thode : Une mé thode qualitative phé nomé nologique a é té utilisé e ; 14 physiothé rapeutes agré é s (13 femmes, 1 homme) ont participé à une entrevue individuelle semi-structuré e, en personne, d'une duré e de 60 minutes. Les participants ont parlé de leur expé rience en tant que mentor ou auprè s d'un mentor et ont dé crit les effets de ce mentorat sur leur carriè re. Les entrevues ont é té transcrites, puis analysé es suivant une approche phé nomé nologique. Ré sultats : Les participants ont dé crit le mentorat comme une expé rience profitable et pour laquelle ils doivent utiliser leurs compé tences et leur expé rience pour guider, enseigner et encourager une personne moins compé tente ou moins expé rimenté e avec comme objectif de favoriser le dé veloppement professionnel et personnel. Les participants ont vé cu le mentorat comme une expé rience positive et ré flé chie. Selon les participants, l'essence vé ritable du mentorat en physiothé rapie consiste à susciter la passion, à nous rendre plus forts et à favoriser un approfondissement des connaissances. Conclusions : Susciter une passion commune pour l'apprentissage et s'engager pour le succè s de la personne dont on est le mentor sont les fondements d'un mentorat valable en physiothé rapie. Ces relations de mentorat permettent aux physiothé rapeutes de s'adapter à un systè me de santé changeant, de faire progresser les soins aux patients et de contribuer à l'é volution de la profess...
