    Description: The COVID-19 pandemic expanded virtual care through telephone, video, and digital communication, with usage patterns varying by patients’ sociodemographic and health characteristics. Continued virtual care use after the pandemic highlights the need for updated information on modality choice and patient satisfaction. This study used data from the 2023 Canadian Social Survey – Quality of Life, Virtual Health Care and Trust, to estimate the distribution of virtual care modes by provider type, positive and negative aspects of patients’ last virtual appointment, and satisfaction levels.

  • Articles and reports: 11-522-X20010016257
    Description:

    This paper discusses in detail issues dealing with the technical aspects of designing and conducting surveys. It is intended for an audience of survey methodologists.

    This paper describes the methods used to increase the response rates of a generalist and specialist physician survey. The means of delivery (regular versus priority mail) and notification of inclusion in a draw for cash prizes were randomized using a 2 x 2 factorial design. While neither priority delivery nor notification of a cash prize sufficiently overcame whatever obstacles exist in this population, both approaches had a positive, though limited, effect on the response rate of the physicians. However, a subsequent mailing of a prepaid cash incentive (delivered by courier) was particularly effective in increasing the representation of the generalist subsample.

    Description:

    Men constitute a small minority of registered nurses (RNs) in Canada, but their numbers have risen sharply in the last decade. In 1995, almost 4% of RNs were men, up from just over 2% in 1985. The proportion of male nurses is particularly high in Quebec, where the 1995 figure was 8%. Some areas of nursing are more likely than others to employ male nurses: psychiatry, critical care, emergency care, and administration. By contrast, relatively few male RNs have jobs in maternal/newborn care, pediatrics, or community care. Rising male enrollement in college and university nursing programs suggests that men's representation in nursing will continue to rise. The older age profile of male nurses may indicate that some men are choosing nursing as a second career. As well, a shift in the age distribution of male nurses would seem to suggest that those who enter the profession tend to stay. This analysis of the demographic and employment characteristics of male nurses is based on information compiled annually in the Registered Nurses Database maintained by Statistics Canada. Figures on enrolment and graduation in nursing are collected by Statistics Canada as part of annual surveys.
