Séminaire offert par ComSanté, Centre de recherche sur la communication et la santé

La participation aux sports et activités de loisir est une importante composante du développement des enfants, mais l’engagement des enfants ayant une incapacité reste limité comparativement aux enfants du même âge. Les familles et professionnels de la santé ont indiqué que l’accès à l’information sur les ressources disponibles est un facteur essentiel facilitant la participation. Les familles ont d’autant plus exprimé qu’un système de support social solide améliore l’engagement des enfants dans le loisir. C’est dans ce contexte que deux chercheuses de l’Université McGill ont créé Jooay, une application mobile gratuite offrant un répertoire d’activités de loisir adaptées ou inclusives pour enfants ayant une incapacité disponible à travers le Canada. Jooay est également une communauté de support en-ligne permettant l’échange de conseils et expériences. Les activités de recherche de ce projet visent à (1) tracer les motifs de changements comportementaux des utilisateurs de l’application; (2) identifier les meilleures stratégies de dissémination d’information sur le loisir adapté et (3) implanter et évaluer des méthodes pour optimiser l’utilisation de cette technologie. L’information recueillie par le biais de l’application mobile pourra de surcroît être utilisée afin de guider les changements politiques et communautaires.

Through this highly interactive workshop, which will take place during the Brain-Child-Partners Conference 2017, participants will begin by defining a shared understanding of integrated knowledge translation. Participants will then discover what it means to “innovate”, and how innovations can be applied to knowledge translation science. Through creative brainstorming techniques and by building partnerships with other participants, attendees will have the opportunity to generate and expand on innovative knowledge translation projects ideas. As an example, an open-mic style period will allow participants to share their project ideas – no matter how daring, outrageous, creative or out-of-the-box they might be. The session will conclude with concrete actions to further conceptualize the ideas discussed, and will encourage partners to participate in the Innovation Incubator funding competition to help bring a unique, innovative integrated Knowledge Translation (iKT) project to life.

Get to know CHILD-BRIGHT, an innovative pan-Canadian network that aims to improve life outcomes for children with brain-based developmental disabilities and their families.

Join Dr. Annette Majnemer, along with Dr. Steven Miller, Dr. Dan Goldowitz, Frank Gavin and Dr. Keiko Shikako-Thomas as they share an overview of the network and how it is currently supported by patient-oriented research, patient-oriented training, citizen engagement and knowledge translation programs.

From this presentation, participants should come to appreciate:

• How our research aims to improve child health and development, enhance patient/family experience, and develop cost-effective strategies.
• How patients, families, researchers, clinicians, policy makers, and other key stakeholders are working together to (1) create novel interventions to optimize development, (2) identify better ways to deliver responsive and supportive services, and (3) improve systems, knowledge, and practices to ensure better outcomes for these children and their families
• How CAPHC’s international community of child and youth healthcare practitioners, patients, families, researchers and other stakeholders can impact our decisions, activities and events.
