Introduction: The nursing role in elderly care has received increased attention during the COVID-19 pandemic. It is therefore essential to better understand the enactment of the nursing practice through professional activities carried out in long-term care facilities since the pandemic.Objective: To identify and synthesize the activities performed by nurses caring for elderly persons in long-term care facilities since the COVID-19 pandemic through a scoping review of literature from 2020-2023. A framework combining the Nursing Role Effectiveness Model by Irvine et al. (1998) and the Cadre de référence sur l’exercice infirmier auprès des personnes hébergées en centre d’hébergement et de soins de longue durée from the Ordre des infirmières et infirmiers du Québec (2018) will allow for the identification of independent, dependent and interdependent nursing activities in these settings.Method: The review will follow the scoping review method of the Joanna Briggs Institute (Peters et al., 2020). We will query CINAHL, MEDLINE, EMBASE, and PsycINFO databases to identify empirical studies published in English and French from 2020 to 2023. The selection of relevant studies will be carried out independently by 2 reviewers. Data on nursing activities will be extracted, categorized, and analyzed in line with the scoping review framework.Discussion and Research Spin-offs: This research will identify nursing activities since the COVID-19 pandemic through recent studies that have addressed this topic in the context of long-term care facilities. Recommendations will be made concerning activities that are infrequently or not at all carried out by nurses, as well as factors that influence these activities.

Group conversation, also known as circle time, is frequently used in preschool education. This study describes practices during group conversation in prekindergarten. 30 filmed group conversations led by 11 full-time female prekindergarten teachers were analyzed. Results showed that teacher and children are seating in a circle and the management is mostly done by the teacher. The main theme is chosen by the teacher and is usually about personal experiences. In terms of feedback practices, most of them are related to the ideas expressed by children and few are about phonology, syntax, or vocabulary.

GRIS-Montreal is a community organization that demystifies sexual orientation, as well as trans and non-binary (TNB) identities, through the sharing of personal accounts in a variety of settings, including educational institutions. Drawing on data gathered through questionnaires distributed at the organization’s workshops, this article analyzes how young adults studying at college or university perceive TNB people. Based on a qualitative thematic analysis of short-form responses from 689 questionnaires, the results address three main questions: (1) how questionnaire respondents defined TNB people and what this says about young people’s level of understanding; (2) how youth attitudes regarding TNB people reflect a range of stances towards gender plurality; and (3) how young adults’ representations of trans people’s experiences tend to be rooted in body-related aspects and the idea of transition (becoming), whereas their representations of non-binary people tend to be rooted in notions of identity.
