The Innovative Practices in Research Ethics (PIER) Committee has been experimenting with new tools that it would like to share with you. As a reminder, the PIER Committee&#8217;s goal is to explore a variety of ideas to address emerging issues in research ethics. The group members chose as their first challenge to address issues related to recruitment. However, recruitment is a concept with many sub-concepts. In order to ensure that all members had a common understanding, the exercise called the lotus flower (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.out-the-box.fr\/fleur-de-lotus-une-technique-creative-simple-et-efficace\/\">https:\/\/www.out-the-box.fr\/fleur-de-lotus-une-technique-creative-simple-et-efficace\/<\/a> ) was conducted. Like the concept map, the lotus blossom can help us gain a deeper understanding of a complex issue. We therefore experimented with this tool in order to understand the different orientations and possible actions around the issue of recruitment. Although this exercise is usually done in person, it has been adapted to a digital version using the Jamboard tool (<a href=\"https:\/\/jamboard.google.com\/\">https:\/\/jamboard.google.com\/<\/a>). This free tool allows each of the participants to add their ideas and thoughts in real time, but also before or after the meeting, by means of text or Post-it notes. By connecting via a sharing link, the whole group can see what is being written and co-constructed around the &#8220;pistil&#8221; of the complex topic. The information can then be categorized in the spirit of the Lotus Flower. Screen sharing on Zoom allowed everyone to see what was being written and to add their own ideas.<\/p>\n<p>The main limitation of the tool was that the surface was insufficient to collect the multitude of ramifications contributed by the members!<\/p>\n<p>Note: If you are planning a very productive group, the Mural tool (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.mural.co\">https:\/\/www.mural.co<\/a>), with a subscription fee, offers a larger work surface.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Karine Latulippe<\/strong>, Postdoctoral Fellow<br \/>\nSchool of Physical and Occupational Therapy, McGill University<br \/>\nCRIR-Jewish Rehabilitation Hospital, CISSS de Laval<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Improving Participation of Youth with Physical Disabilities During COVID-19 using PREP approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12095 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Dana-Anaby-224x300.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"164\" height=\"219\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Dana-Anaby-224x300.png 224w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Dana-Anaby-768x1030.png 768w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Dana-Anaby-763x1024.png 763w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Dana-Anaby-18x24.png 18w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Dana-Anaby-27x36.png 27w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Dana-Anaby-36x48.png 36w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/Dana-Anaby.png 954w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 164px) 100vw, 164px\" \/>The COVID-19 pandemic has intensified barriers to participation for youth with disabilities, hampering their health and well-being. As part of a larger CIHR-funded study, Dana Anaby\u2019s team at the ASPIRE lab examined the feasibility and initial effectiveness of the <a href=\"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full\/10.1111\/dmcn.13682\">Pathways and Resources for Engagement and Participation (PREP) approach<\/a> for improving participation of youth with physical disabilities during COVID-19.\u00a0 A 22-week individual-based interrupted time series design was used among 14 youth (9 female) with physical disabilities aged 17-24. An occupational therapist worked with each youth to remove environmental barriers in their own context. Activity performance and satisfaction were measured weekly using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM).<\/p>\n<p>All participants identified a non-virtual participation goal; 7 started engaging in their selected activity with another individual and 7 have completed the intervention participating in their chosen leisure activity for 8 weeks. Youth chose a range of activities such as sports (badminton, football, horseback-riding, swimming), music (piano, singing), recreational (board games, cooking, painting, creative writing, sewing) and work\/volunteer (radio station). Common strategies\u00a0 included creating 1:1 opportunities, matching same-age peers with similar interests, structuring informal activities, being flexible and having an alternative plan, consulting with the disability community, and consulting a nurse as needed to identify safe options during the pandemic. Visual inspection of COPM data indicates improved performance and satisfaction for all participants, and clinically significant improvement (median score increase by <u>&gt;<\/u> 2 points) in 10\/14 trajectories. Improving participation during the pandemic is feasible through creative and flexible intervention strategies, intensifying youth\u2019s problem-solving for ongoing changing circumstances.<\/p>\n<p>Read more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tandfonline.com\/doi\/full\/10.1080\/01942638.2021.1875739\">here\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/en\/member\/dana-anaby-ph-d\/\">Dana Anaby<\/a>, <\/strong>CRIR\u00a0Researcher<br \/>\nAssociate Professor, School of Physical and Occupational Therapy, McGill University<br \/>\nCRIR\u2013Lethbridge-Layton-Mackay Rehabilitation Centre, Layton-Mackay Site, CIUSSS West-Central Montreal<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Helping people with brain injuries prepare for pandemics by optimizing community strategies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-11473 alignright\" style=\"color: #000000; font-size: 14.4px;\" src=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BottariC-et-BonnieSwaine-300x187.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"315\" height=\"196\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BottariC-et-BonnieSwaine-300x187.jpg 300w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BottariC-et-BonnieSwaine-24x15.jpg 24w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BottariC-et-BonnieSwaine-36x22.jpg 36w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BottariC-et-BonnieSwaine-48x30.jpg 48w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/BottariC-et-BonnieSwaine.jpg 602w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Carolina Bottari, erg, PhD and Bonnie Swaine, pht, PhD<\/strong><strong style=\"font-size: 0.9em;\">,<\/strong><span style=\"font-size: 0.9em;\"> School of Reh<\/span>abilitation,\u00a0University of Montreal, Regular Investigators, CRIR-IURDPM have been awarded a CIHR grant in connection with the COVID calls.

In the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the sequelae associated with ACL are exacerbated by stress, isolation, disruption of routines, and a decrease in support services. These individuals also have difficulty understanding and following health instructions.

Since March 13, 2020, all our studies are on hold, challenging the lab members in their creativity on how to move through this phase. However, in collaboration with my post-doctoral fellow, <strong>Atul Jaiswal<\/strong>, we were able to expand our arsenal of research techniques by training all 18 lab members over the summer on how to conduct scoping reviews and systematic reviews, according to the PRISMA guidelines. We initiated one systematic review and six scoping studies during this time, and managed to submit three protocol manuscripts for publication. Lab members also learned how to conduct reviews using the online tool, COVIDENCE, for screening and data extraction.<\/p>\n<p>Atul\u2019s postdoctoral research was also affected significantly due to COVID-19. The ethics application from CRIR was in the final stages for approval in March 2020, but due to COVID-19, all the research activities were stalled, and so was the process of approval. Brainstorming how post-doctoral research can match the evolving priorities of the partner organization (INLB) and their clients in the COVID-19 context, we adapted the research protocol to online mode when in-person data collection was not possible. We also created a citizen engagement panel of diverse key stakeholders (seven researchers, ten partner organizations and their staff in the two provinces\u2013 Quebec and Ontario, and an older adult with DSI) to guide the postdoc project through its various stages. This panel helped us to refine study research questions and raise grants for the project. Although COVID-19 delayed the project data collection by four months, we were successful in raising $ 50,000 to support the work. The data collection just began in September 2020, and we hope to get most of data collection completed before the end of the year.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/en\/member\/walter-wittich-ph-d\/\"><strong>Walter Wittich<\/strong><\/a>, CRIR Researcher<br \/>\n<strong>Atul Jaiswal<\/strong>, Postdoctoral Fellow<br \/>\nSchool of Optometry, Universit\u00e9 de Montr\u00e9al<br \/>\nCRIR \u2013 Institut Nazareth et Louis-Braille, CISSS de la Mont\u00e9r\u00e9gie-Centre<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>Virtual Data Collection<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rehab-Alhasani.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-full wp-image-10001\" src=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rehab-Alhasani.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"220\" height=\"220\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rehab-Alhasani.jpg 220w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rehab-Alhasani-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rehab-Alhasani-24x24.jpg 24w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rehab-Alhasani-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Rehab-Alhasani-48x48.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 220px) 100vw, 220px\" \/><\/a>The Covid-19 pandemic is affecting the way that we work and we\u2019re all learning how to work remotely. It may also affect the way we go about conducting research. Many graduate students have to suspend data collection or re-design their projects given the social-distancing measures.\u00a0One of my projects involves typical qualitative research that relies on face-to-face interaction for data collection through focus groups. When the pandemic started, my supervisor, Sara Ahmed and I were thinking how we can modify the research\u2019s methodology to do it virtually. In context of the current outbreak, we did a lot of research on the best ways to do focus group remotely. We came up with the solution to conduct the focus group online using the technology Zoom videoconferencing that allows us to virtually replicate the face-to-face focus group discussion. Nevertheless, we faced some challenges, such as internet connection problem or participants not able to use the technology. Videoconferencing was a close substitute to in-person focus group, and allowed for data to be collected taking into account social distancing measures. This pandemic is making us all reflect on how we do things differently. Graduate students can make use of this situation to pause and reflect on different methods to do data collection virtually, especially in the context of qualitative research. As such, our work as graduate students may change as a result of this pandemic and the way we conduct research may well be one of them.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rehab Alhasani<br \/>\n<\/strong>Doctoral Candidate<br \/>\nSchool of Physical and Occupational Therapy, McGill University<br \/>\nCRIR \u2013 Lethbridge-Layton-Mackay Rehabilitation Centre, site Constance-Lethbridge,\u00a0CIUSSS West-Central Montreal<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3><strong>CRIR\u2013<\/strong><strong>IURDPM Student Teleworking Activity<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/E\u0301tudiants_Capture-de\u0301cran_3.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-9980 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/E\u0301tudiants_Capture-de\u0301cran_3.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"275\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/E\u0301tudiants_Capture-de\u0301cran_3.jpg 275w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/E\u0301tudiants_Capture-de\u0301cran_3-24x17.jpg 24w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/E\u0301tudiants_Capture-de\u0301cran_3-36x25.jpg 36w, https:\/\/crir.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/E\u0301tudiants_Capture-de\u0301cran_3-48x33.jpg 48w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 275px) 100vw, 275px\" \/><\/a>In order to\u00a0ease\u00a0the\u00a0isolation due to the confinement and teleworking instructions\u00a0provided by the ministry, CRIR\u2014IURDPM\u00a0students held remote work sessions from March to August 2020.\u00a0More\u00a0than thirty students were invited to join their colleagues on\u00a0a\u00a0daily basis\u00a0through a\u00a0Zoom platform\u00a0in order\u00a0to share\u00a0their\u00a0work and breaks.
