Health Services Access

Research indicates that people living in rural and remote areas of Canada face challenges to accessing health services. This article reports on a community-engaged research project conducted by investigators at Memorial University of Newfoundland in collaboration with the Rural Secretariat Regional Councils and Regional Partnership Planners for the Corner Brook–Rocky Harbour and Stephenville–Port aux Basques Rural Secretariat Regions of Newfoundland and Labrador. The aim of this research was to gather information on barriers to accessing health services, to identify solutions to health services’ access issues and to inform policy advice to government on enhancing access to health services. Data was collected through: (1) targeted distribution of a survey to communities throughout the region, and (2) informal ‘kitchen table’ discussions to discuss health services’ access issues. A total of 1049 surveys were collected and 10 kitchen table discussions were held. Overall, the main barriers to care listed in the survey included long wait times, services not available in the area and services not available at time required. Other barriers noted by survey respondents included transportation problems, financial concerns, no medical insurance coverage, distance to travel and weather conditions. Some respondents reported poorer access to maternal/child health and breast and cervical screening services and a lack of access to general practitioners, pharmacy services, dentists and nurse practitioners. Recommendations that emerged from this research included improving the recruitment of rural physicians, exploring the use of nurse practitioners, assisting individuals with travel costs,  developing specialist outreach services, increasing use of telehealth services and initiating additional rural and remote health research.Keywords: rural, remote, healthcare, health services, social determinants of health

The University

This article focuses on the design and preliminary experimentation of a tabletop game called Kitchen Table, created to encourage more empathy towards people with severe anaphylactic food allergies. To measure the effectiveness of this game, the study ‘Use of persuasive games to promote empathy for persons with food allergies’ was conducted at the University of Waterloo in collaboration with the Games Institute and Department of Geography and Environmental Management's Genetics, Environment and Therapies: Food Allergy Clinical Tolerance Studies (GET-FACTS) project. This study involved volunteers completing a Likert scale-based pre-playtest questionnaire, playing the game, and then completing a post-playtest questionnaire identical to the original. Their pre-playtest and post-playtest responses were compared to measure the degree to which attitudes changed as a result of playing the game. In the end, the game was demonstrated to encourage more empathy towards people with severe anaphylaxis through the production of emergent narrative from the interaction between the players, the game mechanics and the participatory community experience.

Three Components

Symbols like the service flag furthered community morale in the United States during World War I and evolved to engender memorial organizations like Gold Star Mothers. Music supported both, with three components of the industry—Tin Pan Alley, Kitchen Table publishing, and Song Sharks—differing in key respects: the participation of women composers and lyricists, the focus on mothers and loss, and the mix of ballads, waltz songs, and marches. As the war evolved, so did the responses, with the closing months and aftermath focusing increasingly on soldiers’ fatalities and the expression of grief and mourning. Postwar changes in style and dissemination marked the end of such collective expressions.

Hands On

Several months after Catie died, Steve asked his sister-in-law to watch his daughters for a few hours so he could spend time with his six-year-old son. David seemed to be doing well but Steve sensed he needed a little one-on-one time with his Dad. They spent the morning together cooking breakfast, playing outside, and building Legos at the kitchen table. David loved having his father’s undivided attention. After they had been playing for a few minutes, Steve asked him how much he thought about his mother. I still feel bad about what I did—about how I made Mommy die.” “Wait, what?” “Because of when I hurt Mommy. Remember? That day she came home from the hospital and I hurt her real bad.” “That day” had occurred nearly two years earlier. Excited to finally have his mother back home, David jumped into her arms and gave her a big hug. Catie winced and immediately grabbed her right shoulder, which was still tender from surgery and radiation. David immediately let go and backed away. His mother, now grimacing, tried to take deep breaths to ease the pain. After a few minutes, she told him that she was okay but that he needed to be gentler with her. Steve had not thought about the incident since the day it happened. Considering all he and his family had been through, it had barely registered in his memory. Sitting at the kitchen table, he asked his son what he remembered. David talked about how he made his mother sick by hugging her too hard. Since he had made her sick, he was the reason she died. “Buddy, no. No, no, no. That’s not it at all.” Realizing that his son had been thinking this way for almost two years made Steve nauseous. He placed his hands on David’s shoulders and looked him in the eyes, making sure he had his full attention. He explained that the hug had absolutely nothing to do with his mother dying. “You and your sisters were the reasons that Mommy lived as long as she did.
