These provide financial support beyond what individuals and families gain from their employment and other income. They help financially but in many cases are insufficient to prevent poverty.Item Open Access A Canadian national study of provincial and territorial correctional workers' suicidal ideation, plans, and attempts(Wiley, 2024-09-14) R. Ricciardelli; R. N. Carleton; M. S. Johnston; S. Dorniani; T. L. Taillieu; T. O. AfifiAbstractCorrectional workers (CWs) endure several operational stressors (e.g., exposures to potentially psychologically traumatic events) and organisational stressors (e.g., shift work, staff shortages), which are associated with positive screens for mental disorders and self‐reports of suicidal behaviours and thus urgently warrant further inquiry. The Canadian Provincial and Territorial Correctional Worker Mental Health and Well‐Being Study (CWMH) used an online survey to collect data from Canadian correctional service organisations across all 13 provinces and territories. This national Canadian study investigates suicidal behaviours among CWs across diverse occupational roles and provincial and territorial jurisdictions (n = 3740, 50.1% female). The results estimated prevalence proportions for self‐reported past‐year and lifetime suicidal thoughts, planning, and attempts across the 13 Canadian provincial and territorial correctional systems, with the exceptions of past‐year suicidal planning in Alberta, Newfoundland and Labrador, New Brunswick, and Yukon where jurisdictional considerations and requests precluded the inclusion of select questions. Substantial proportions of participants reported past‐year or lifetime suicidal ideation (i.e., 9.1%, 29.2%, respectively), planning (i.e., 4.1%, 14.7%, respectively), or attempts (i.e., 0.8%, 7.2%, respectively). Sociodemographic variables (i.e., sex, age, marital status, total years of service, occupational category) were associated with past‐year and lifetime suicidal behaviours. Findings provide opportunities for future research and can inform tailored efforts by clinicians, service providers, and organisational leaders to support proactive interventions and treatments, including supporting the partners and families of CWs, fostering social support networks, and improving access to timely mental health treatment.Item Open Access A Scoping Review of the Components of Moral Resilience: Its Role in Addressing Moral Injury or Moral Distress for High-Risk Occupation Workers(Springer, 2023-12-14) Osifeso, Temitope; Crocker, Sierra J.; Lentz, Liana; Smith-MacDonald, Lorraine; Seliman, Merna; Limenih, Gojjam; MacPhee, Renée S.; Anderson, Gregory S.; Brémault-Phillips, Suzette; Malloy, David; Carleton, R. NicholasPurpose of Review: High-risk occupation workers (HROWs) are often exposed to potentially morally injurious events (PMIEs) which can contribute to moral distress (MD) or moral injury (MI). Moral resilience (MR) has been proposed as a protective or moderating factor to protect HROWs from harm caused by PMIE exposures. The current review was designed to: 1) update the definition of MR to a broader context of HROWs; 2) identify components of MR for HROWs; and 3) determine demographic variables that may impact MR development.Item Open Access Access and Affordability: Saskatchewan Food Banks Explore the Cost of Healthy Eating(Regina Food Bank, 2010-12-07) Bernard, Travis; Novik, Nuelle; Douglas, Fiona; Hansen, Yolanda; Dunsmore, Lorne; Compton, Steve; Folkerson, DanaThe Regina Food Bank serves food insecure clients on a daily basis and an increase in demand over the past year prompted the question "Why are so many people requiring assistance at our food bank?". This research compared the cost of healthy eating to income available to food bank clients and discovered a large gap in income that results in food insecurity.Item Open Access Adapting a mindfulness-based intervention for depression and anxiety for use with indigenous university students(Faculty of Arts, University of Regina, 2021-04) Desjarlais, Sharon M.Indigenous university students experience high rates of anxiety and depression, due primarily to the pernicious and persistent effects of colonialism, racism, and discrimination. Mindfulness-based interventions (MBIs) are promising for depression and anxiety; however, they require adaptation to make them more culturally relevant for diverse populations, specifically Indigenous peoples. The purpose of this study was to adapt an MBI for anxiety and depression to make it culturally relevant for Indigenous university students, thereby ensuring a culturally sensitive and congruent intervention approach with this particular population. To achieve this, goal, 14 (female = 86%, male = 14%; Mage = 28.92) Indigenous university students from the University of Regina and First Nations University were invited to provide input for adapting a mindfulness-based intervention protocol. The three-part study employed a mixed method design along with Indigenous research methods (e.g., talking circle) to elicit feedback from the students regarding their perceptions of the acceptability and cultural relevance of MBIs, and ways to make them consistent with Indigenous cultures and student lifestyle. In Part 1 and Part 3, participants (n = 14 and n = 9, respectively) completed an online survey consisting of Likert scale and open-ended qualitative questions. In Part 2, these participants (n=6) also engaged in a talking circle in which open-ended qualitative questions elicited more in-depth feedback. Thematic analysis was used to analyze survey and talking circle data. Students emphasized the need for incorporation of a) traditional Indigenous practices (e.g., sweats and smudging) into the MBI; and b) an Indigenous intervention facilitator. The emergent themes were used in the adaptation of an MBI description. The adapted MBI, titled Miyowâyâwin Mindful Wellbeing Program, received favorable evaluations by students for cultural consistency (M = 5.00, 6 being highest). Indigenous cultures are heterogenous, and so could not be represented in their fullness in the adaptation process. The small sample size may limit the generalizability of the results. This study paves the way for the latter steps of the design and subsequent evaluation of the Miyowâyâwin Mindful Wellbeing Program among Indigenous students.Item Open Access Adjustment and investment in Africa: a retreat to compradorization(Department of Economics, University of Regina, 2001-08) Abdou, AbdellaItem Open Access Adults’ perceptions of child eyewitness credibility: multiple independent lineups(Faculty of Arts, University of Regina, 2024-04) Engel, Katherine M.Eyewitness testimony is a powerful piece of evidence in criminal cases (O’Neill et al., 2011; Neal et al., 2012), but this can be problematic as eyewitness testimony is a leading cause of wrongful convictions (Innocence Project, 2023). Mistaken eyewitness testimony is prominent in children, as children identify innocent suspects more frequently than adults (Fitzgerald & Price, 2015). Age-appropriate lineup techniques have been explored to reflect child eyewitness accuracy, such as the multiple independent lineups technique (MIL; Carr & Bruer, 2023). Although Carr & Bruer (2023) found promising results using the MIL technique with children, how adults perceive child eyewitness credibility through MIL was unstudied. This study aimed to fill this gap in how adults perceive child eyewitness credibility on the MIL. To do so, juryeligible participants (N =176. 73% female, 24% male, 3% identified as other [i.e., nonbinary], Mage = 23.26, SD = 7.85) read a mock trial transcript where the child eyewitness made their identification(s) of the suspect through the traditional lineup or the MIL technique. Perceived credibility for the participants was measured through several different dimensions (i.e., identification, overall credibility, honesty, and cognitive ability). Largely, the results did not indicate any significant differences across lineup techniques (traditional lineup or MIL), nor the age of the child eyewitnesses (younger or older). This indicates that adults perceive child eyewitness credibility similarly regardless of technique used and age of the child eyewitness. Implications and future directions are discussed.Item Open Access Adults’ perceptions of children who disclose a transgression to peers or adults(Faculty of Arts, University of Regina, 2017-04) Harvey, Madison B.Children who witness or experience a transgression often do not disclose the event to anyone. There are a variety of reasons why a child may not disclose this event, such as being asked to keep it a secret, fear that they will not be believed, or concerns about their safety. When children do disclose, it may be to an adult or another child. Yet, it has not been established how these peer- to-peer disclosures are perceived by adults. The present study examined adult perceptions of children who disclose (or not) to a peer and children who disclose (or not) to an adult. Participants rated children on measures of credibility, honesty, and accuracy after hearing a recorded conversation of a child discussing an event to either a peer or an adult. Results indicate that children who disclosed a transgression were perceived as less credible, less honest, and less accurate when talking to another child. This has significant implications for the justice system, as it demonstrates that children who disclose a transgression may be seen as less credible witnesses.Item Open Access After the Freeze: Restoring University Affordability in Saskatchewan(Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives (CCPA), 2011-11) Gingrich, PaulConcern about growing student debt and the cost of university education again becoming less affordable or unaffordable has led the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives – Saskatchewan (CCPA – SK) to re-examine the issue of university affordability and access.Item Open Access Agenda & Supporting materials for .....(University of Regina, Faculty of Arts, Office of the Dean, 2011-09-14) University of Regina.
