The Northern Health Authority provides care for over 300,000 residents of northern British Columbia, across a vast geographic area. The Health and Human Resources team supports innovative and creative opportunities to attract and retain health care professionals in the north. In partnership with the Department of Research, Evaluation and Analytics, the goal of this HSIF is to explore the impact of HHR strategies on workforce sustainability across northern BC communities. | The Ministry of Health, BC Healthcare Unions, and Northern Health recognize that our unique geography requires new and innovative approaches to recruitment and retention. In response to high vacancy rates in the north, the Travel Resource Program (TRP) was recently developed to provide clinical support in rural and remote communities. In particular, this program enables healthcare professionals to reside in urban centres, with the understanding that they will be deployed to underserved communities providing a unique employment experience. This HSIF will focus on understanding the impact of this program on health care provider, patient and community experiences, as well as overall effectiveness in nursing recruitment and retention in rural and remote communities. | The types of work an awardee could expect to lead/contribute to include: integration and analysis of HHR data; qualitative and quantitative research methods to understand complex questions and issues related to recruitment, retention and workforce sustainability; perform qualitative interviews/focus groups, surveys; perform statistical analysis, interpret data, draw conclusions and make recommendations; document findings and publish detailed research reports.

Partners for Youth Inc. |
As an organization with a significant focus on youth mental health, we have recognized the enormous strain Covid19 has caused youth. This additional strain and impact has augmented an already significant crisis in youth mental health across the country. According to the Mental Health Commission of Canada: “Everybody should be able to access the full range of mental health services, treatments, and supports. Yet for a lot of people, the mental health system often feels like a maze, one with lots of cracks that are easy to fall through. Because each person’s recovery journey is unique, there will never be a “one-size-fits-all” solution for mental health services. Still, there’s much that can be done to ensure “every door is the right door” — meaning no matter where a person enters the system, they can get the care they need.” | Supported through a research lens - The goal of this project is to support youth as they access counselling therapy and to reduce barriers to treatment and support. Child and adolescent trauma exposure is prevalent, with trauma exposure-related symptoms, including posttraumatic stress, depressive, and anxiety symptoms often causing substantial impairment. Although not all children exposed to trauma have symptoms of distress, an array of short- and long-term mental health consequences have been identified in the literature. It’s important that people get support as soon as possible when experiencing mental health issues. | We anticipate the work will involve engaging youth and community partners in quantitative or qualitative data analysis. Beginning with a literature review and the development of an evaluation framework, the research fellow will work closely as a member of our multi disciplinary team. Providing advise and guidance as the project is developed the research fellow will develop evaluation tools and an impact framework for the project. | Either / both |
