Young people with impaired functioning and/or disability do not receive as much education or as high an education as fully functioning young people, thus limiting their job opportunities. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate perspectives of young people with neuromuscular diseases regarding their choice of educational programs and possibilities to complete program requirements to gain knowledge for use in future counselling and the…
Challenges Faced by Women With Neuromuscular Diseases When Having to Urinate Away From Home
The aim of this study was to investigate the challenges women with neuromuscular disease face when having to urinate when away from home. The design for this study was qualitative using the interpretive description methodology and the Sense of Coherence theory. The method was three semi-structured focus group interviews with 12 women (3 ambulant and 9 non-ambulant) with neuromuscular diseases at a specialized rehabilitation hospital. We found tha…
Patients’ Care Transition in Cardiac Rehabilitation
Background . Despite existing evidence on the efficacy of cardiac rehabilitation (CR), programs are underutilized. Factors affecting referral and enrolment in hospital‐based CR were identified; however, research into factors affecting referral and enrolment in community‐based CR is lacking. Aim . The purpose of this scoping review is to identify and synthesize facilitators and challenges in the transition of patient care from hospital to communit…
Understanding Facilitators and Challenges to Care Transition in Cardiac Rehabilitation
Cardiac rehabilitation is an essential part of treatment for patients with cardiovascular disease. Cardiac rehabilitation is increasingly organized outside hospital in community healthcare services. However, this transition may be challenging. The aim of this study was to examine assumptions and perspectives among healthcare professionals on how facilitators and challenges influence the transition from hospital to community healthcare services fo…
Perspectives on Everyday Life Challenges of Danish Young People With Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy (DMD) on Corticosteroids
This study aimed to investigate perspectives on everyday life challenges of young persons with Duchenne muscular dystrophy in Denmark treated with corticosteroids perceived by young persons and their parents to improve rehabilitation interventions. Nineteen semi-structured interviews were conducted: 10 individual interviews with 10 persons with DMD and six individual interviews with parents (five mothers and one father) and three couple interview…
Healthcare Professionals’ Experiences and Perspectives of Facilitating Self-Management Support for Patients with Low-Risk Localized Prostate Cancer via mHealth and Health Coaching
Introduction: Self-monitoring of self-management interventions with the use of mobile health (mHealth) can enhance patients' well-being. Research indicates that mHealth and health coaching act symbiotically to providing a more constructive outcome. Nurse coaches seem to have a significant role in translating the patients' tracked data. Objective: The objective was to explore healthcare professionals' experiences of an intervention offering self-m…

Research points to the health benefits of rehabilitation in urban green spaces. Nevertheless, more studies indicate complexity of utilising urban green spaces in an established health system context. An understanding of challenges related to rehabilitation in urban green spaces remains unaddressed. Therefore, the aim was to describe and analyse people with disabilities' and health professionals' perceptions on combining traditional indoor rehabil…

The analysis revealed four main findings that symbolized experienced lonelines…
Not for the World of Theorizing But for the Need of Knowledge in the Nursing Discipline
Research networks have significant value and are essential for conducting high-quality applied health research. In this article, we describe the establishment, content, and contribution of a Danish national qualitative interpretive description (ID) network. There are only a few examples of clinical research networks and in most qualitative research methodology is not highly prioritized. Still, a number of nurses and allied health professionals wo…
Revisiting Symbolic Interactionism as a Theoretical Framework Beyond the Grounded Theory Tradition
The tight bond between grounded theory (GT) and symbolic interactionism (SI) is well known within the qualitative health research field. We aimed to disentangle this connection through critical reflection on the conditions under which it might add value as an underpinning to studies outside the GT tradition. Drawing on an examination of the central tenets of SI, we illustrate with a field study using interpretive description as methodology how SI…
