Investing in Canada's nursing workforce: a comprehensive review to inform policy innovations and directions.

BACKGROUND: Health systems worldwide face persistent health workers challenges including nursing shortages, workforce strain, and inequities. In Canada, these challenges have prompted renewed national and provincial reforms to strengthen recruitment, retention, leadership, and sustainability. This paper compares nursing workforce policy directions across Canada, and international jurisdictions to inform policy and planning. METHODS: A cross-country comparative analysis of policies building on a comprehensive national funded review that included an umbrella review of 69 systematic reviews, a comparative policy review of nursing workforce strategies in five jurisdictions, and validation through national horizon-scanning and policy dialogues (n >100). Evidence was analyzed across system, organizational, and individual levels. RESULTS: At the system level, international jurisdictions demonstrate comprehensive, legislated approaches integrating data, governance, and multi-year funding have advanced key nursing strategies. In Canada, the advances show the importance of strategies to have national and provincial/territorial alignment emphasizing leadership, flexibility, and inclusion as key levers. Organizational and individual-level reforms such as mentorship, leadership development, and wellness initiatives are expanding but remain variably evaluated. Experts identified national workforce data strategies and policy integration with embedded evaluation as key enablers to inform scalability and sustainability of implemented strategies. CONCLUSIONS: Canada's nursing workforce reforms are advancing toward coordinated, equity-driven, and evidence-informed strategies. Continued investment in evaluation, leadership, and national integrated data systems along with integrating nursing workforce planning within broader intersectoral planning will consolidate these gains and position Canada as an international leader in sustainable nursing workforce policy.

Variance estimation for clustered recurrent event data with a small number of clusters.

Often in biomedical studies, the event of interest is recurrent and within-subject events cannot usually be assumed independent. In semi-parametric estimation of the proportional rates model, a working independence assumption leads to an estimating equation for the regression parameter vector, with within-subject correlation accounted for through a robust (sandwich) variance estimator; these methods have been extended to the case of clustered subjects. We consider variance estimation in the setting where subjects are clustered and the study consists of a small number of moderate-to-large-sized clusters. We demonstrate through simulation that the robust estimator is quite inaccurate in this setting. We propose a corrected version of the robust variance estimator, as well as jackknife and bootstrap estimators. Simulation studies reveal that the corrected variance is considerably more accurate than the robust estimator, and slightly more accurate than the jackknife and bootstrap variance. The proposed methods are used to compare hospitalization rates between Canada and the U.S. in a multi-centre dialysis study.

The state's role in promoting population health: public health concerns in Canada, USA, UK, and Sweden.

Despite the expanding literature on the importance role public policy plays in influencing the broader determinants of the public's health, profound differences exist among jurisdictions in the attention placed by the State - as represented by public health authorities and agencies - upon such activities. In this paper we examine the dominant public health models of Canada, USA, UK, and Sweden. The Canadian and USA public health communities are focused upon individualized approaches to risk management. In contrast, the UK and Swedish public health scenes are more oriented toward broader approaches to health determinants. We argue that the extent to which governments, public health agencies and public health workers concern themselves with public policy approaches to address broader determinants of health depends upon the particular model of health adhered to within each jurisdiction. And whether a health model is adopted depends upon the ideological and political context within which a nation is situated. Canada represents a situation where concerted effort to influence governmental policy directions by the public health community could reap significant benefits.
