Abstract:

Purpose – This article aims to document the process the province of Newfoundland and Labrador used to develop an innovative Physician Management and Leadership Program (PMLP). The PMLP is a collaborative initiative among Memorial University (Faculty of Medicine and Faculty of Business), the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, and the Regional Health Authorities. As challenges facing health-care systems become more complex there is a growing need for management and leadership training for physicians. Design/methodology/approach – Memorial University Faculty of Medicine and the Gardiner Centre in the Faculty of Business in partnership with Regional Health Authorities and the Government of Newfoundland and Labrador identified the need for a leadership and management education program for physician leaders. A provincial needs assessment of physician leaders was conducted to identify educational needs to fill this identified gap. A Steering Committee was formed to guide the design and implementation and monitor delivery of the 10 module Physician Management and Leadership Program (PMLP). Findings – Designing management and leadership education programs to serve physicians who practice in a large, predominately rural geographic area can be challenging and requires efficient use of available resources and technology. Originality/value – While there are many physician management and leadership programs available in Canada and abroad, the PMLP was designed to meet the specific educational needs of physician leaders in Newfoundland and Labrador.

Abstract:

Purpose: Our study compared the prevalence of food insecurity among 3 student groups attending Memorial University of Newfoundland (MUN): International (INT), Canadian out-of-province (OOP), and Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). Factors associated with food insecurity were also investigated. Methods: Data were collected via an online survey distributed to an estimated 10 400 returning MUN students registered at a campus in St. John’s, NL. Respondents were recruited through e-mails, posters, and social media. Ten questions from the Canadian Household Food Security Survey Module adult scale were asked to assess food security. Logistic regression was used to compare rates of food insecurity between the three population subgroups. Results: Of the 971 eligible student respondents, 39.9% were food insecure (moderate or severe). After controlling for program type, parental status, living arrangement, and primary income source, OOP and INT students were 1.63 (95% CI = 1.11–2.40) and 3.04 (95% CI = 1.89–4.88) times more likely, respectively, to be food insecure than NL students. Conclusions: Approximately 40% of participating MUN students experienced food insecurity, a higher proportion than reported for the overall provincial population. Groups at high risk of food insecurity include INT students, students with children, and those relying on government funding as their primary income.

Abstract:

One of the assertions of the Actor-Network Theory is that physical factors can be actors within a network of other factors which determine the development and use of technology. This paper documents the impact of climate, distance and demographics on the adoption of online courses at Memorial University of Newfoundland in Canada. The qualitative study demonstrates that these physical factors did influence professor’s decisions to use online courses. The findings support the Actor-Network Theory and provide insight into the interaction of physical and human actors within a network that facilitated the adoption of online courses at the university being studied.

Abstract:

This report describes the development of the ROV Bartlett, designed and fabricated by the Eastern Edge Robotics Team, Newfoundland & Labrador, Canada. Bartlett was purpose-built for use in the 2007 MATE/MTS International ROV Competition to perform three missions based on the 2007 International Polar Year (IPY) theme. Bartlett has a structural frame of 12.5-mm-thick Lexan™, six (6) orthogonally positioned thrusters providing motion in six degrees of freedom, three (3) tilting, hi-resolution cameras, four (4) variable intensity LED cluster lamps, a waterproof Lexan™ electronics housing and low-compressibility (690 kPa), H-100, “High-load” structural Styrofoam™ encased in fiberglass, forming the flotation. Fiber-optic signal transmission is used in propulsion and tool control, sensor input and video systems. Custom programming using C# incorporates data visualization tools from Dundas Gauge and DirectX. Custom tether is neutrally buoyant in the competition environment. Task-specific tools of original design or application have been fabricated for each mission task. The priority in design was simplicity, low drag, low weight, high efficiency, reliability, and robust materials. The Eastern Edge Robotics Team is a diverse group, comprising 17 students from three academic institutions: Memorial University, the Marine Institute, and the College of the North Atlantic. The polar theme of the 2007 MATE/MTS ROV Competition inspired the team to name their ROV Bartlett after Captain Robert Bartlett, an eminent polar explorer born in the British colony of Newfoundland.

Abstract:

The Inuit Bachelor of Education (IBED) program in Labrador is a partnership between the Nunatsiavut Government (NG) and Memorial University of Newfoundland. It is preparing teachers to be key participants in NG’s education system. The IBED students and Sylvia Moore, the lead faculty member in the program, have based this paper on a collaborative presentation. The writers explore the tensions between the current provincial curriculum offered in the regional schools and a curriculum that is founded on Inuit history, culture, and worldview, restores the central role of the Inuit language, and is community-based as recommended in the 2011 National Strategy on Inuit Education. The students discuss four key threads of culturally relevant education: land, language, resources, and local knowledge. Moore reflects on how the IBED program incorporates these same elements to support Inuit identity and the developing pedagogy of the pre-service teachers.

Abstract:

Background: Medical Assistance in Dying (MAiD) was legalized in Canada in 2016. As future physicians, medical trainees will face decisions regarding MAiD. Although many publications exist internationally, Canadian data is limited in the peer-reviewed literature. The purpose of this study is to determine the opinions of medical trainees in Newfoundland and Labrador regarding MAiD, and the factors that impact these views. Methods: A survey was distributed to all medical trainees at Memorial University (N=570). The survey collected demographic information and opinions regarding MAiD. Respondents were divided into groups based on demographic characteristics, and their responses analyzed using non-parametric statistics. Results: The survey was completed by 124 trainees. Ninety percent of respondents agreed with the legalization of MAiD in Canada and nearly 60% stated they would perform the procedure for their patients. Several factors influenced the opinions of medical trainees, including level of training and religious affiliation. Trainees also favored detachment from the MAiD process. Interpretation: Canadian medical trainees are largely in favor of MAiD, which will likely be requested more frequently in the future. This highlights the importance of emphasizing MAiD within medical curricula, so that trainees are adequately informed and prepared to handle this new aspect of medical care upon joining independent practice.

Abstract:

Background: There is little information available regarding the pharmacist workforce in Newfoundland and Labrador (NL). We surveyed Memorial University pharmacy graduates to identify the proportion who were still working in the profession, to determine if they were employed in pharmacy in or outside NL and to describe the characteristics and factors associated with working in or outside NL. Methods: We surveyed pharmacists graduating between 1990 and 2007 from Memorial University School of Pharmacy. We collected demographic and job characteristics and asked participants to rank the importance of factors affecting their current job choice. Results: Of the 466 surveys mailed, 300 were returned, for a response rate of 64.4%. Of the 300 respondents, 96.7% were working in pharmacy. Over two-thirds (70.3%) were in NL and most of those working outside NL were in Canada. Pharmacy graduates originally from NL (OR = 32.84; 95% CI = 10.63–101.53) and with lower incomes (OR = 7.06; 95% CI = 2.40–20.77) were more likely to be working in NL. The top 3 factors related to choosing the current job in pharmacy were working conditions, job benefits and level of pay. These factors were the same for those respondents working in or outside NL. Conclusion: Over two-thirds of the Memorial University pharmacy graduate respondents in our study worked in NL in 2008. Increasing the number of seats for local students and improving remuneration or other incentives for pharmacists may increase provincial retention of locally trained pharmacists.

Abstract:

Introduction: Maintaining competence in high-acuity low-occurrence (HALO) procedures is often difficult due to their infrequent occurrence. While simulation is a valuable tool to hone skills, providing effective simulation-based education (SBE) to learners outside academic centers can be challenging. Utilizing a mobile tele-simulation unit (MTU) with expert instruction from a geographically separated mentor could prove a valuable approach to overcoming barriers in this setting. However, to maximize benefit and buy-in, the training modules developed for this unique delivery method must align with the needs of those practicing in rural settings. Objectives: - To evaluate the procedural skills training needs of emergency medicine (EM) physicians in rural Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) - To inform the development of simulation modules designed for use in a MTU Methods: A web-based needs assessment was distributed to physicians registered with the NL Medical Association, working in rural locations, and having EM listed as their primary specialty. Participants evaluated their comfort, performance frequency and desire to have further training for 12 HALO procedures. Two EM physicians selected these from a broader list of core procedural skill competencies for CCFP-EM residents at Memorial University. Participants were also able to suggest other procedures that might benefit from SBE. Results: The data collection occurred for 8 weeks with a 68% response rate (N = 22). No respondents had formal EM training outside of exposure in family medicine residency. 60% had 10+ years practicing EM. Chest tube insertion (100%), difficult intubation (92.3%) and surgical airway (92.3%) were the procedures that most respondents felt required more SBE. In practice, they most often performed bag-valve ventilation, splint application and procedural sedation (>10 per year). Additional procedures felt to require SBE were central venous line placement and trauma assessment. Opportunities to participate in SBE were limited (66.7%-less than annually). Despite this, most participants agreed SBE would be a significant benefit if accessible (93.3%). The greatest barriers to SBE included lack of equipment, rural location, and time necessary for travel to larger centres. Conclusion: The provision of medical care in rural settings can be particularly challenging when HALO procedures must be performed. Unique delivery methods of SBE targeted to the needs of rural practitioners may help bridge gaps in knowledge and technical skills.

Abstract:

Abstract: Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, is a province proud of its historical traditions. Yet, these values are, at times, in conflict with contemporary global culture. The province’s socio-political and cultural struggles and successes, and the impact of an ongoing boom and bust cycle in resource development, are echoed both in the history of art education and in its artistic evolution. From modernism and post modernism, and DBAE to VCAE, the development of the Visual Art Program at the Grenfell Campus of Memorial University in Corner Brook provides a cautionary tale on the vagaries of promoting artistic traditionalism over contemporary meta-modernism, and the role of art in the classroom in reflecting global society at large. With a growingly mixed population in the province, art education plays a significant role in a contemporary dynamic that can challenge a self-promoted geographic and historical myopia. Art in Newfoundland and Labrador increasingly acts as a suturing mechanism and reflective device, through which to look at these tensions, allowing the art educator to play a somewhat subversive role to the larger historical, political, and social agenda. Yet art education and art have also been used as a tool to serve various shifting political agendas. Negotiating this terrain as an art educator can be difficult; tradition and the contemporary collide, yet the dynamic of this play has produced some amazing results culturally. Walking this tightrope provides a model for a newer generation who have to be increasingly multi-cultural and internationalist in their views.Keywords: Traditionalism; Contemporary Meta-modernism; Historical, Political, and Social Agenda; Subversive Role of Art Educator; Multi-cultural.Résumé : Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador est une province canadienne fière de ses traditions historiques. Il arrive cependant que ses valeurs soient en conflit avec la culture générale moderne. Les luttes et réalisations sociopolitiques et culturelles dans cette province, ainsi que la baisse brutale de la mise en valeur des ressources, trouvent écho dans l’enseignement des arts et l’évolution artistique de la province. Du modernisme au postmodernisme, et de l’éducation artistique axée sur les disciplines à l’éducation artistique fondée sur la culture visuelle, l’élaboration du Programme d’arts visuels sur le campus de Grenfell de l’Université Memorial de Corner Brook, constitue un récit édifiant des aléas de la promotion du traditionalisme artistique vis-à-vis le métamodernisme contemporain, et du rôle de l’art en salle de cours comme reflet de la société dans son ensemble. Compte tenu de la diversité croissante de la population de la province, l’éducation artistique joue un rôle prépondérant dans une dynamique moderne susceptible de s’opposer à une myopie géographique et historique auto-promue. À Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, l’art agit de plus en plus comme un mécanisme de suture et un dispositif de réflexion permettant d’observer ces tensions et confiant à l’éducateur un rôle un tant soit peu subversif vis-à-vis le programme historique, politique et social. Pourtant l’éducation artistique et l’art ont aussi servi d’outils à certaines visées politiques en mouvance. Il peut être difficile pour un éducateur en art d’évoluer sur un tel terrain. Si tradition et modernisme s’entrechoquent, cette dynamique de jeu a, dans certains cas, abouti à d’étonnants résultats sur le plan culturel. Naviguer sur cette corde raide offre un modèle à une nouvelle génération qui se doit d’être davantage multiculturelle et internationaliste. Mots-clés : Traditionalisme, métamodernisme contemporain.

Abstract:

Background: The treatment of HIV disease is made more complex by rapid changes in disease management. Two primary objectives of this study were to evaluate the continuing education (CE) needs and preferences of pharmacists and to utilize this information to develop CE HIV disease management strategies. Our hypothesis was that current knowledge of HIV disease management is outdated and that CE related to HIV should be delivered in ways that meet the preferences of pharmacists. Methods: A 14-page needs assessment (NA) was developed to assess the CE needs and preferences of Newfoundland and Labrador (NL) pharmacists and their knowledge of HIV disease management. The NA was validated by pharmacists, physicians, nurses, and social workers from Memorial University of Newfoundland and the Health Care Corporation of St. John's. Respondents' answers were scored using a six-point Likert scale. Space was available for respondents to provide open answers and opinions related to the questionnaire, CE, and HIV. Piloting and feedback suggested the NA could be completed in 20–30 minutes. The NA was mailed to 470 pharmacists. Results: Thirty percent of the pharmacists returned a completed questionnaire. Mean scores (MS) were calculated for specific CE topics. The top three CE topics were: update professional skills (MS = 4.46); current standards of care (MS = 3.9); and professional practice standards (MS = 3.85). CE topics for clinical skills were also highlighted and included pharmacology and therapeutics, infectious disease, and patient education. CE topics specific to HIV included drug interactions, resistance, management of adverse events, opportunistic infections, alternative therapies, HAART therapy, post-exposure prophylaxis, and pregnancy in HIV/AIDS. Most pharmacists (81%) had access to Internet and e-mail (76%). Few respondents had access to teleconference (19%) and videoconference (11%). Pharmacists' preferences for CE delivery times were workday evenings (2–3 hours), weekend half-day, and workday half-day. Conferences, correspondences courses, structured courses, and seminars were the preferred delivery modes. Conclusions/Implications: Pharmacists in NL appear to have specific educational needs. Although the study achieved a lower-than-expected response rate, perhaps partly due to its length, most respondents indicated that computer-based technology could enhance the delivery of CE. Continuous, discipline-specific, real-time assessment of educational needs may be essential for optimum management of patients with HIV. It is likely the findings reflect the needs of pharmacists across the country, especially those outside urban areas. The preferences identified in this study could apply to delivering CE for a variety of diseases.

Abstract:

2002 marks the tenth anniversary of the establishment of a program in Medieval Studies at Memorial. The establishment of the program was the response of a group of established and some newly arrived medieval scholars to a challenge from the Arts Administration to establish a program in Medieval Studies at the undergraduate level. The working group realised that a fairly distinct program could be established at Memorial to dovetail with such local strengths as Archaeology and Folklore, both of which departments were amenable to establishing a medieval dimension to their own programs. Accordingly Major and Minor programs were established at Memorial, starting in 2002.

Abstract:

The Depression–Happiness Scale and the Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness were administered to 52 Northern Irish university students. Higher scores on the Depression–Happiness Scale were significantly associated with higher scores on the Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale and the subscale scores of Positive Affect and Positive Experiences and with lower scores on Negative Affect and Negative Experiences. These data provide further support for the convergent validity of the Depression–Happiness Scale.

Abstract:

This report constitutes the Newfoundland component of a large scale replication study to assess the relationship of HLA to affective disorders; the Ontario component will be published subsequently. In a collaborative study between the University of Toronto, Memorial University and the University of Rochester, first degree family members of Probands with major affective disorder in Newfoundland were assessed for the lifetime presence of psychiatric disorder; their blood was also typed for Human Leucocyte Antigens (HLA). Because of the high rate of refusal to participate, only 10 Newfoundland families could be assessed completely. While this number of families is too small to evaluate the role of HLA as a marker of susceptibility to affective disorder, the results will be added to those of the larger Ontario component. Some problems of conducting research in communities similar to those found in Newfoundland are briefly discussed in the context of characteristics of the Probands in the study group as compared with those of subjects who refused entry into the study.

Abstract:

In this article, we explore the subjective well-being of empty nesters who lived in rural eastern China ( N = 967). The Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness is used to measure subjective well-being. The results indicate that Memorial University of Newfoundland Scale of Happiness is appropriate for empty nesters in rural China due to its reliability and validity. Generally, male empty nesters report greater subjective well-being scores than females. Negative factors include low levels of education, being a widow or widower, or being unmarried. It is argued that the empty nesters’ incapability to access adequate social service and home care leads to their poor subjective well-being.

Abstract:

AbstractMemorial University, located in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, was created in 1925 to help build a better future for the people of Canada’s easternmost province, whose largely rural fishing communities were rapidly transforming through industrialization and urbanization. Mandated by a “special obligation to the people of the province,” university archaeologists embraced applied, community-based projects which encouraged local solutions to the social and economic issues arising from the transformation to modernity. Today, community archaeology remains integral to our research program and the majority of our research is undertaken in partnership with rural and Indigenous populations who continue to be marginalized both geographically and economically. Two case studies describe how archaeological resources are being used to promote economic and social justice, as well as reconciliation, and how archaeology has the potential to make valuable local contributions that change lives in the present.

Abstract:

The significance of post-secondary education is investigated for rural Newfoundland women enrolled in undergraduate liberal arts degree programs. Data collection for this research involved comprehensive, detailed semistructured biographical interviews with rural women studying liberal arts disciplines during the 2006–2007 academic year at Memorial University of Newfoundland. The data analyses drew on theories of experiential and embodied knowledge, social constructionist theories of gender and place, and research on women, rurality, and post-secondary education. The findings indicate that, overall, a liberal arts degree is a part of a search for a new home for the women interviewed. Images and experiences of life as women in rural Newfoundland act as forces that push and pull the women to and from their homes, with varying impact. Although the women were very pleased with their choice of a liberal arts major, for most this choice did not dominate the significance of enrolling in university.

Full text

Abstract:

Documentary evidence suggests that Inuit were present in the Strait of Belle Isle by the late 16th century, yet the archaeological evidence for Inuit settlement in southern Labrador is sparse. Inuit sites are difficult to recognize south of Nunatsiavut, where 19th-century Inuit-Métis families and seasonal Newfoundland fishers occupied settlements that leave similar archaeological surface-traces. In 2009 a SSHRC-funded Community-University Research Alliance was initiated to examine Inuit history in southern Labrador. One of the primary goals of the research was to develop archaeological criteria to distinguish between these ethnically distinct settlements. This paper presents the results from several seasons of research in Sandwich Bay, Labrador. It uses data from community interviews, archaeological surveys, and excavations at four Inuit settlements, one Inuit-Métis house, and one Newfoundland fishery camp to help resolve the issue of site ethnicity for the area immediately south of Hamilton Inlet. Site location and house and site features are used to increase confidence in Inuit site classification and to provide strategies for targeted test-excavations elsewhere in southern Labrador and on the Quebec North Shore. The results of the research also allow for a better understanding of the nature and extent of Inuit occupation in Sandwich Bay.

Abstract:

Purpose There is a growing emphasis on teaching patient safety principles and quality improvement (QI) processes in medical education curricula. This paper aims to present how the Faculty of Medicine at Memorial University of Newfoundland engaged medical students in quality improvement during their recent curriculum renewal process. Design/methodology/approach In the 2013-2014 academic year, the Faculty of Medicine at Memorial University of Newfoundland launched an undergraduate medical education curriculum renewal process. This presented a unique opportunity to teach quality improvement by involving students in the ongoing development and continuous improvement of their undergraduate curriculum through the implementation of quality circles and other related QI activities. Findings The authors’ experience shows that implementing QI processes is beneficial in the medical education environment, particularly during times of curriculum redesign or implementation of new initiatives. Originality/value Student engagement and participation in the QI process is an excellent way to teach basic QI concepts and improve curriculum program outcomes.

Full text

Abstract:

Newfoundland-born seafarers stood out from others aboard nineteenth- and twentieth-century vessels by the relative frequency with which they used an ‘x’ to sign a crew agreement. According to historians’ conventions, this identified them as illiterate. Inadequacy in reading and writing skills is often construed as ignorance, a supposition David Alexander challenged in his 1970s study of social and economic inequality. In a more concerted analysis of Newfoundland seafarers’ literacy skills, I argue against the binary understanding of literate and illiterate people. In a place where maritime activity has spawned a strong oral culture, the groundwork of researchers based in Memorial University has facilitated an understanding of the dynamic and robust nature of vernacular knowledge. Nevertheless, a lack of education can operate ideologically and materially as discriminatory. While the evidence comes from a predominantly male workplace, I take into account the methods by which seafarers acquired reading and writing capabilities. Considering women’s higher literacy rates and their role in education in Newfoundland bridges seafarers’ lives onshore and at sea.

Abstract:

Abstract In the decades before Confederation in 1949, one important link between the Dominion of Canada and the reluctant tenth province was the increasing reliance of New- foundland students upon Canadian institutions for advanced education and training. Five volumes of Who's Who in Newfoundland, published between 1927 and 1961, provide biographical information on 344 individuals who left the colony to pursue educational opportunities abroad. The major focus for such opportunities shifted over time from Great Britain to the mainland of Canada. Institutions in the Maritime provinces drew over half of these students, while colleges and schools in Ontario received almost one-quarter. In some instances, Newfoundlanders became an impor- tant proportion of the student body at individual colleges -for example, students from western Newfoundland at Saint Francis Xavier and students from the south coast at Mount Allison. The highest proportion was probably the 15 per cent which Newfoundlander s formed in the general student body at Nova Scotia Technical College in the several years around 1940. The establishment of Memorial University College in 1925 did two things: it made Newfoundland more self-contained in matters of higher education, and it strengthened certain patterns of international linkage, especially with Canada. Fledgling Memo- rial's major formal affiliations were with the universities of the Maritime provinces: Memorial s president joined representatives of Acadia, Dalhousie, Saint Mary's, King's, Mount Allison and Saint Francis Xavier on the unified Atlantic region govern- ing body of Nova Scotia Technical College and 55 per cent of the degrees held by Memorial's preconfederation faculty members were from Canadian institutions. This paper demonstrates how natural it was for Newfoundland to be drawn within the Canadian educational orbit in the first half of the twentieth century, while charac- teristic patterns in the links that were formed between two North American countries are illustrated.

Abstract:

Providing context for this forum on a major resource for nineteenth-century merchant seafarers’ history, this article treats the temporality of the politics – historical, archival and historiographical – of the Agreements and Accounts of Crew of British imperial vessels. The exercise brings to light significant differences in the projects and practice of maritime history during the time that two generations of historians have had access to the Agreements at Memorial University. While introducing the subsequent articles by emerging scholars, it raises questions about how archives are involved in the production and communication of maritime history. It makes particular reference to the digital transformation of archives and pays attention to the social reproduction and social purpose of our discipline.

Abstract:

In this paper, energy consumption analysis and a process to identify appropriate models based on heat dynamics for large structures are presented. The analysis uses data from heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) system sensors, as well as data from the indoor climate and energy software (IDA Indoor Climate and Energy (IDA-ICE) 4.7 simulation program). Energy consumption data (e.g., power and hot water usage) agrees well with the new models. The model is applicable in a variety of applications, such as forecasting energy consumption and controlling indoor climate. In the study, both data-derived models and a grey-box model are tested, producing a complex building model with high accuracy. Also, a case study of the S. J. Carew building at Memorial University, St. John’s, Newfoundland, is presented.

Graduates often find conceptualizing and writing long research projects an arduous alienating process. This paper1 describes a research writing intervention conducted at Memorial University in Newfoundland with two groups of graduate students (Engineering and Arts). One small part of the workshop was devoted to creative "sentence activities." Our argument is that these creative activities contributed to re-connecting students to themselves as researchers/writers and to others in the group. The activities engaged students in language literally, metaphorically, and performatively.

Abstract:

IntroductionCurrent treatments for chronic pain (eg, opioids) can have adverse side effects and rarely result in resolution of pain. As such, there is a need for adjuvant analgesics that are non-addictive, have few adverse side effects and are effective for pain management across several chronic pain conditions. Oxytocin is a naturally occurring hormone that has gained attention for its potential analgesic properties. The objective of this trial is to evaluate the efficacy of intranasal oxytocin on pain and function among adults with chronic pain.Methods and analysisThis is a placebo-controlled, triple-blind, sequential, within-subject crossover trial. Adults with chronic neuropathic, pelvic and musculoskeletal pain will be recruited from three Canadian provinces (British Columbia, Alberta and Newfoundland and Labrador, respectively). Enrolled patients will provide one saliva sample pretreatment to evaluate basal oxytocin levels and polymorphisms of the oxytocin receptor gene before being randomised to one of two trial arms. Patients will self-administer three different oxytocin nasal sprays twice daily for a period of 2 weeks (ie, 24 IU, 48 IU and placebo). Patients will complete daily diaries, including standardised measures on day 1, day 7 and day 14. Primary outcomes include pain and pain-related interference. Secondary outcomes include emotional function, sleep disturbance and global impression of change. Intention-to-treat analyses will be performed to evaluate whether improvement in pain and physical function will be observed posttreatment.Ethics and disseminationTrial protocols were approved by the Newfoundland and Labrador Health Research Ethics Board (HREB #20227), University of British Columbia Clinical Research Ethics Board (CREB #H20-00729), University of Calgary Conjoint Health Research Ethics Board (REB20 #0359) and Health Canada (Control # 252780). Results will be disseminated through publication in peer-reviewed journals and presentations at scientific conferences.Trial registration numberNCT04903002; Pre-results.
