Développement d’une intervention préventive pour réduire les effets des risques psychosociaux sur la santé psychologique et l’absentéisme du personnel ouvrant dans le secteur des soins de santé et de l’assistance sociale

Certains aspects du travail et de l’organisation, comme le harcèlement et la charge de travail élevée, constituent des « risques psychosociaux du travail » (RPS) qui peuvent nuire à la santé psychologique et conduire à l’absentéisme. Des « facteurs de protection » peuvent réduire ces effets néfastes des RPS. Les connaissances actuelles ne permettent pas aux décideurs de déterminer quelles interventions préventives ciblant les RPS sont efficaces pour protéger la santé psychologique et prévenir l’absentéisme chez leurs travailleurs. Ce projet vise donc à développer une intervention préventive consistant à réduire des RPS et augmenter des facteurs de protection pour favoriser la santé psychologique et réduire l’absentéisme dans un secteur très touché par la problématique : le secteur des soins de santé et de l’assistance sociale (SSAS). Ce projet en trois phases sera réalisé en collaboration avec une « organisation participante » du secteur des SSAS. Phase 1 : une revue de la littérature scientifique permettra d’identifier des interventions pertinentes et de rapporter leurs impacts sur la santé psychologique et l’absentéisme dans le secteur ciblé.

Assessing adminstrative workload in primary care

There are more doctors than ever in Canada, but Canadians are reporting it more difficult to access their primary care providers. The gap between the number of primary care providers available and the decline in services they offer is important to understand. One of the reasons for this gap is administrative tasks that providers must deal with. It’s been suggested that if primary care doctors in New Brunswick could reduce their unnecessary paperwork by 10%, they could see around 120,000 more patients each year. The proposal for the current research project will involve looking at how the amount of administrative work in primary care has changed over time. We plan on interviewing primary care providers and other team members. We will also gather information from various sources to document how services have changed since 2001/2002. The results of this research will help improve healthcare delivery by suggesting ways to cut unnecessary administrative tasks so that healthcare providers can do their jobs to the fullest.

Textile Sensor Development for an EMG muscle activity monitoring system

GestureLogic is building a product that optimizes athletic performance. The product is a wearable sensory network that monitors muscle activity. The goal of this research is to take this inherently complex muscle data that is acquired by the sensory network and translate it to useful biometrics for the consumer with the help of intelligent algorithms. The algorithms will help intuitively visualize important metrics such as strength of muscle contractions, heart rate and fatigue. The benefit to the partner organization is twofold. The research will help advance the organizations core product, increasing the organizations time to market. By solving some of the key problems associated with the product, the internship will also help de-risk the company’s product cycle for future investors.

Advancing Fisheries Adaptation to Climate Change in Canada

Climate-related changes are currently affecting ecosystems and fisheries across Canada, but Canada’s fisheries management system is lagging in assessing the scope of this challenge and developing adaptive solutions. This Mitacs research project will develop, refine and pilot test a scientifically rigorous ‘fisheries management under climate change’ survey tool and framework to assess how the management of Canada’s commercial fish stocks considers climate change and can be more adaptive to climate variability. The project outcomes will serve as a baseline to monitor progress towards incorporating climate change into Canada’s science and management processes and advance Nature United’s goal and the Canadian public’s interest in accelerating fisheries management climate adaptation actions and solutions.

“Projet d’amélioration continue en assurance qualité : Numérisation des systèmes pour une gestion optimisée de la qualité en industrie pharmaceutique”

L’industrie pharmaceutique est soumise à de nombreuses normes et exigences en matière de qualité, ce qui en fait l’un des secteurs les plus réglementés. La gestion de ces exigences implique une documentation importante
qui nécessite une gestion rigoureuse. Cependant, lorsque cette gestion documentaire n’est pas dématérialisée, elle peut être lourde.
C’est dans ce contexte que Galenova a proposé la mise en place d’un projet d’amélioration continue en assurance qualité visant à optimiser la gestion quotidienne de ses systèmes qualité. Actuellement, ces systèmes reposent
entièrement sur des documents papier, ce qui complique le travail du personnel. Afin de remédier à ces lacunes, le projet vise à numériser ces systèmes pour les rendre plus performants.
Ce projet est d’envergure considérable et se déploiera sur une période prolongée, étant donné que la gestion de la qualité englobe plusieurs systèmes distincts. L’objectif principal est de mettre en place un système numérique
intégré permettant une gestion plus efficace de l’ensemble des processus qualité, tout en créant un environnement de travail plus efficient et mieux adapté aux exigences réglementaires et aux normes de qualité en vigueur.

Implementing A Community Model of Policing: A Case Study of Change

Over the past several years, serious concern has emerged in many Western nations over the future and sustainability of public policing. The situation in Canada is no different. Key stakeholders in the Canadian policing community have expressed serious concern about the sustainability of policing. A model of public policing has emerged in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan that may represent a way forward for municipalities as well as larger jurisdictions across the country. The Community Mobilization Prince Albert (CMPA) model is a significant departure from the way in which public policing has been delivered in this country. Borrowed from the HUB model that was put in place in Scotland, the CMPA HUB model is based on suppression, prevention and intervention. This is a community approach to policing, wherein social agencies and services collaborate with the police to stop crime before it happens. The Scottish and Prince Albert HUB models have been met with considerable acclaim, however there has not been much measurement of the model’s effectiveness. The Peel Regional Police have now decided to run a pilot project to develop a made-in-Peel HUB model. TOBECONT’D

Exploring Restorative Responses to Hate & Radicalization

This project seeks to understand the appropriateness and applicability of restorative justice processes in preventing and responding to situations of hate and radicalization to violence, with consideration for how
restorative justice might complement existing de-radicalization/violence prevention and response programs, while also not causing further harm. Through a synthesis of existing literature, this research project will provide a
comprehensive overview of restorative justice practices in use in both the prevention of, and in response to, radicalization to violence, compiling a final report of best practices and approaches being used nationally and
internationally. The partner organization will benefit through the receipt of final project report, as well as distributable materials for partners and other stakeholders. Developed materials will serve as a blueprint for
other community-based organizations or social services agencies to use when developing services to prevent and respond to hate and radicalization to violence in their communities.
