Users' and researchers' construction of equity in research collaboration
BACKGROUND: Equity is described as an ideal in user involvement in research and is mentioned in the health service literature and in several guidelines. However, equity is described as being difficult to obtain and the concept is rarely clarified or concretized. Equity can be socially constructed. OBJECTIVE: This study explored users' and researchers' constructions of equity in research processes. DESIGN AND METHOD: The study had a qualitative re…
Coming from two different worlds—A qualitative, exploratory study of the collaboration between patient representatives and researchers
BACKGROUND: Interest in user involvement in research has increased and user involvement is increasingly seen as a prerequisite. Still, challenges in the collaboration process have been documented from both researchers' and users' perspective. OBJECTIVE: By bringing together researchers and patient representatives, this study explores and describes both parties' experiences with user involvement in research as they appear through interactions in a…
Moving between ideologies in self‐management support—A qualitative study
BACKGROUND: Reforms in current health policy explicitly endorse health promotion through group-based self-management support for people with long-term conditions. Health promotion and traditional medicine are based on different logics. Accordingly, health professionals in health-promoting settings demand the adoption of new practices and ways of thinking. OBJECTIVES: The objective of our study was to investigate how health professionals perceive …
Stakeholders in support systems for self‐care for chronic illness
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The spread of self-care holds the promise of containing chronic illness burden. Falling within the framework of a FP7 collaborative research project, this paper reports the views of key informants from six countries regarding who the main stakeholders are at different levels in the support system for self-care for patients with chronic illness (SSSC) and how they accomplish their role and collaborate. METHODS: 90 Intervi…
Group affiliation in self‐management
BACKGROUND: Self-management is considered important in chronic illness, and contemporary health policy recommends participation in support groups for individuals with chronic conditions. Although withdrawal from or non-participation in support groups is an important problem, there is limited knowledge about individuals' own motivation for participation in or withdrawal from self-management support groups. OBJECTIVES: To investigate how individual…
Connectivity, contest and the ties of self‐management support for type 2 diabetes
This paper presents a meta-synthesis of the literature on community-based self-management to support experiences of people diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The aim was to synthesise findings on both formal and informal self-management support with particular reference to the relevance and influence of the social context operating at different levels. The review forms part of EU-WISE, a project financed through EU's 7th Framework Programme. The rev…
Dynamics and nature of support in the personal networks of people with type 2 diabetes living in E urope
BACKGROUND: Living with and self-managing a long-term condition implicates a diversity of networked relationships. This qualitative study examines the personal communities of support of people with type 2 diabetes. METHODS: We conducted 170 biographical interviews in six European countries (Bulgaria, Greece, the Netherlands, Norway, Spain and UK) to explore social support and networks. Analysis was framed with reference to three predetermined soc…
Meso level influences on long term condition self-management
The results suggest reasons for giving increasing prominence to meso level influences as a means of rebalancing and improving the effectiveness of implementing an agenda for SMS. There is a need to acknowledge the greater economic and policy challenging environment operating in some countries which act as a source of inequality between countries in addressing SMS for chronic illness management and impacts on people's capacity to undertake self-ca…
Institutional logic in self-management support
The prevalence of chronic conditions in Europe has been the subject of health-political reforms that have increasingly targeted collaboration between public, private and voluntary organisations for the purpose of supporting self-management of long-term diseases. The international literature describes collaboration across sectors as challenging, which implies that their respective logics are conflicting or incompatible. In line with the European c…
Informal caregivers' participation when older adults in Norway are discharged from the hospital
This paper describes the participation of informal caregivers in the discharge process when patients aged 80 and over who were admitted from home to different hospitals in Norway were discharged to long-term community care. Data for this cross-sectional survey were collected through telephone interviews with a consecutive sample of 262 caregivers recruited between October 2007 and May 2009. The Discharge of Elderly Questionnaire was developed by …
Empowerment and Bariatric Surgery
Today obesity is understood as a chronic illness. Programs developed to deal with obesity often build on an explicit aim to "empower" patients to take increased responsibility for their health, in line with contemporary neoliberal discourses. There is little empirically based knowledge about this so-called empowering process. In this article we focus on how an empowering program for patients diagnosed as morbidly obese worked on individuals' iden…
Factors predicting a successful post-discharge outcome for individuals aged 80 years and over
Having someone at home upon return from hospital and having adequate formal home-care services are significantly associated with patient-reported success in managing well
