These empirical studies may use different creative expressions and art-forms to describe and enhance an embodied and personalised understanding of lived experiences. Drawing on the methodologies of van Manen, Dahlberg, Lindseth & Norberg, the aim of this paper is to argue that the increased focus on creativity and arts in research methodology is valuable to gain a deeper insight into lived experiences. We illustrate this point through examples from empirical nursing studies, and discuss how each of the above approaches allows for creative expressions and art-forms such as poetics, narratives and films, and hereby contributes to a profound understanding of patients' experiences. This creativity generates extraordinary power to the process of understanding and it seems that creativity may support a respectful renewal of phenomenological research traditions in...

BACKGROUND Surgery cancellations are an ongoing challenge in healthcare systems with negative impacts on healthcare costs, hospital staff and patients. Most research addresses the reasons for cancellation and implementation of preventive interventions, but limited knowledge exists about patients' experiences of cancellation. DESIGN The scoping review was undertaken using the methodology recommended by the Joanna Briggs Institute for Scoping Reviews and the Reporting Cheklist for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR). METHODS A systematic search was conducted by two independent researchers in Cochrane Library, CINAHL, PubMed and PsycINFO. A forward and backward citation search was performed in Scopus and references in relevant studies were explored. The tool Covidence was applied to select, compare and discuss relevant articles. The Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool was used for critical appraisal. RESULTS Surgery cancellation is emotionally harmful with negative effects on patients. Four themes were identified: "Initial reactions to cancellation", "Reactions during a new waiting period at home and during readmission to hospital", "Information about cancellation" and "The experience of new practical arrangements". Patients whose surgery was cancelled experienced initial feelings such as anger, rejection and anxiety and physical/psychosomatic symptoms in the extended waiting period. Patients prefered early sufficient information about cancellation from the surgeon. The practical arrangements were stressfull for the patients. CONCLUSION Nursing care and identification of vulnerable patients are essential to prevent negative effects in the extended waiting period. Provision of timely, sufficient and professional information about cancellation from the surgeon is important. Further research assessing consequences of cancellation is needed. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE Patients would benefit if hospitals find systems to minimize cancellation, and healthcare professionals could systematically develop professional supportive interventions tailored to patients' individual needs.

I artiklen præsenteres en kvantitativ undersøgelse af hvor mange, der anvender vejlederbrevet. Endvidere diskuteres vejlederbrevets potentiale til at fremme relationen i vejledningsprocessen, herunder om vejlederbrevet kan tydeliggøre sammenhænge mellem læringsmål, vurderingskriterier og studerendes læringsaktiviteter.

At udøve sygepleje hvor der tages vare på patienten, og hvor der lyttes til pa-tientens perspektiv. Endnu et år er gået med masser af nye projekter og forskning i sygeplejen, og mange artikler er publiceret i tidsskriftet Nordisk Sygeplejeforskning. Rigtig mange artikler hvor patienten er fokus for projekter, undersøgelser og forskning. Således er det med glaede, at jeg i denne leder kan rose sygeplejen og forskerne for at se patienten både i sygeplejen og forskningen, fx ved at anvende metoder der rummer muligheder og anvisninger til at «se» det der viser sig. At se patienten og udforske patienternes perspektiv, eller som studerende at opøve kompetencer i at se patienten i alt det andet, der også er vigtigt at laere i sygeplejen. Laes fx om «Også det å se pasienten oppe i alt dette» i artik...

Klinikere, undervisere og forskere arbejder dagligt, struktureret og forskningsbaseret på at udvikle sygeplejen og behand-lingen til gavn for patienterne. En evidensbaseret sygeplejepraksis hvor klinikerne hele tiden er vidende om nyeste forskning indenfor feltet. Allerede i 1996 vaegtede en af grundlaeggerne af «Evidence based medicin» professor David L. Sackett (1996), at det er betydende, at man i praksisfaellesskaberne samarbej-der omkring integration af den bedst tilgaengelige viden med patientens praeferen-cer, det kliniske skøn og ressourcerne. Dette indebaerer, at man i fagfaellesskaberne løbende reviderer egen praksis, f.eks. gennem revidering af instrukser og kliniske retningslinjer og hele tiden med inddragelse af patientens individuelle praeferencer. En vigtig pointe i denne tidlige diskussion for og imod evidensbasering, og som måske er en smule overset, er, at forskellige typer af ...

Omsorgen for patienten, borgeren, barnet, den fødende, den døende, den syge, den raske, den lidende-sådan kunne jeg fortsaette i det uendelige, hvor kun sproget saetter graenser for beskrivelsen af sygeplejen. Når sygeplejen er mangfoldig og beskaeftiger sig med mennesket i al sin mangfoldighed, så må de undersøgelser og den forskning der udføres indenfor sygeplejen rumme mangfoldige faenomener og anvende vidt forskellige metoder. Denne mangfoldighed viser sig i dette nummer af Nordisk Sygeplejeforskning, hvor vi publicerer 9 videnskabelige artikler og 3 fagartikler. I dette tidsskrift kan man laese om mødre på barsel, aeldre på plejehjem og om sygepleje der forebygger tryksår samt sår der kan behandles med tetre og aloe vera. Mangfoldigheden viser sig også i forhold til metoder, hvor fx. aktionsforsk-ningsmetodens styrker og udfordringer beskrives.

AIM To explore the lived experience of working as a (PCA) with patients, children and adults on mechanical ventilation in the home setting. DESIGN AND METHODS A qualitative study using a phenomenological-hermeneutic approach. Data collection involved semi-structured individual interviews with 20 PCAs (n = 15 women and n = 5 men) in Denmark in 2020. Their work experience with patients on home mechanical ventilation ranged from 8 months to 25 years (median 8 years). The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist was used as a guideline. FINDINGS Four main themes emerged from the structural analysis: Being a fly on the wall or part of the family, Always being in a state of readiness is exhausting, Being a team player and Mutual respect is key in the work relationship. CONCLUSION PCAs had to balance on a knife's edge when working with children and adults on mechanical ventilation in the home setting and try to strike a happy medium. Enduring the job required a proper physical and mental work environment, and thorough preparation, achieved not only through technical training, but also through learning how to be part of a professional relationship characterised by mutual respect and matched expectations. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE The findings provide clinical practice with important insights into how to inform, prepare and educate PCAs working with patients on mechanical ventilation in the home setting. Further research into home care education and training programmes with a patient- and family-centred care approach is needed.
