About the Project

At the University of Toronto Bloomberg Faculty of Nursing, we thrive on the challenge to create better outcomes in health care — locally, nationally and across the globe. With close to a century of achievement, our graduates have earned reputations as prominent thinkers, research pioneers and relentless innovators. We push ourselves to perform at the height of nursing education, research and practice, led by the brightest minds in nursing. Our faculty members mentor our students to excel, to make an impact and to lead where others can only follow.

Research Area

The COVID-19 pandemic has exacted unparalleled devastation globally on older people living in residential long-term care (LTC) homes and those who care for them. Older people in LTC have suffered disproportionately and experienced the highest proportion of deaths due to COVID-19. Transformative change and innovations (defined as new ideas, practices, or policies) are desperately needed to support recovery and build resilience in LTC to prevent more harm. The U.N. Research Roadmap (2020) for the COVID-19 Recovery outlines that research can help identify how best to include the voices and meet the needs of marginalized populations (e.g., older adults living in LTC).

The research goal is to develop a robust conceptual framework and tool that enables the inclusion of older adults in the development and implementation of innovations in LTC within multiple socio-political and cultural contexts. This is an international multi-method project representing 4 low- and high-income countries with varying socio-political cultures and healthcare systems. The research objectives may include:

1) situational analysis to understand the organizational context and processes of LTC innovation design and implementation;

2) an international e-Delphi survey, informed by the environmental scans, about strategies for including older adults in innovation design and implementation.
