We have worked with two hospitals to redesign their public contact
areas (counters, restaurants, etc.).
While much of our Health Care research is straightforward or standard,
for example, determining what Respirologists
think of a particular drug or what trauma unit head nurses think
of a particular treatment,
some of our research is less standard.
Three examples are:
- An AIDs study in which we investigated
attitudes, behaviour concerns,
challenges among:
- patients in various stages
of AIDs, including heads of
support groups
- physicians who
specialise in treating AIDs
patients and physicians who
do not include AIDs patients
in their practic
- nurses in Aids hospices
- care givers (e.g. counsellors,
massage therapists)
- community workers
- educators
- family members
- A study of a diabetes information
and control program among high
risk populations including reservation
Indians.
- A pro bono study among psychiatric
patients to determine how they
see the community reacting to
them and the obstacles
they face integrating into
the community as a result.
