Get PDFDastak’s Crisis Management Center served as the first line of contact for all new arrivals, managed the daily running and decision making in the shelter, provided legal assistance and advice as well as maintaining all resident data. During the project period, one of Dastak’s primary goals was to improve service delivery through a coordinated and collective response and bringing crisis management and shelter practices in line with the human rights-based approach. In this regard, various practices were changed, certain operations streamlined and improved, and new systems put in place to improve data management systems and active engagement with state run services. This report outlines a detailed analysis of the interventions made during the period, drawing from the data recorded in a customized shelter database. The learnings from analysis of the practices and interventions also led to improvement in interagency relations and internal practices

Mixed-methods study of risk factors and experiences of health care workers tested for the novel coronavirus in Canada
Get PDFObjective: The aims of this study were to investigate occupational and non-work-related risk factors of coronavirus disease 2019 among health care workers (HCWs) in Vancouver Coastal Health, British Columbia, Canada, and to examine how HCWs described their experiences. Methods: This was a matched case-control study using data from online and phone questionnaires with optional open-ended questions completed by HCWs who sought severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 testing between March 2020 and March 2021. Conditional logistic regression and thematic analysis were utilized. Results: Providing direct care to coronavirus disease 2019 patients during the intermediate cohort period (adjusted odds ratio, 1.90; 95% confidence interval, 1.04 to 3.46) and community exposure to a known case in the late cohort period (adjusted odds ratio, 3.595%; confidence interval, 1.86 to 6.83) were associated with higher infection odds. Suboptimal communication, mental stress, and situations perceived as unsafe were common sources of dissatisfaction. Conclusions: Varying levels of risk between occupational groups call for wider targeting of infection prevention measures. Strategies for mitigating community exposure and supporting HCW resilience are required
