Becoming a Family and Community Nurse
In Italy, the Family and Community Nurse (FCN) was officially recognized with Legislative Decree 34/2020 and redefined by Ministerial Decree 77/2022. The introduction of the FCN has been inconsistent across the nation, leading to fragmented experiences and challenges in fully integrating the role into the healthcare system. Based on Cohen's hermeneutic approach, this phenomenological study explores the lived experiences and meaning of being an FC…
Preserving Social Manliness”
Masculinity refers to varied hierarchies of socially constructed descriptions of men’s identity and includes practices that allow the continued dominance of men in society. Previous research focused on examining the intersection of hegemonic masculinity, gender, and single chronic illness. Limited research exists on the intersection of multimorbidity, gender, self-management, and hegemonic masculinity. This study illuminated the interplay of gend…
Sex based differences in depression, anxiety, and quality of life and predictors of quality of life among South Asian individuals with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Sociocultural and patient-health care professional related factors influencing self-management of multiethnic patients with multimorbidities
Self-management is critical for the general well-being and disease management of individuals with multimorbidities. A better understanding of sociocultural and patient-professional level factors affecting self-management can be valuable for designing individual and community-based strategies to promote optimal self-management. The purpose of this review was to explore sociocultural and patient-health care professional related factors affecting se…
Understanding the Nature of and Identifying and Formulating “Research Problems” in Mixed Methods Research
Mixed methods research (MMR) is suitable for studying research problems that cannot be adequately investigated through qualitative and quantitative methods alone. Nevertheless, the MMR literature offers a very limited discussion about “research problems.” To address this gap, this paper uses Elliott’s conceptual framework to offer guidance on how to identify and formulate research problems in MMR and understand their nature. This article contribu…
Perceived Social Support and Associated Factors among Caregivers of Individuals with Heart Failure
Background. Caregivers are crucial in ensuring that their relatives with heart failure (HF) reach proper self-care levels. Despite this, the demanding nature of caring for others can lead to poor outcomes and the compromise of own needs, which raises the need for perceived social support. Prior research does not offer a thorough knowledge of how caregivers of people with HF regarded social support and the characteristics that went along with it. …
Proposing the 'Miracle' Narrative Framework for Providing Thick Description in Qualitative Research
Thick description of qualitative findings is critical to improving the transferability of qualitative research findings as it allows researchers to assess their applicability to other contexts and settings. However, what thick description entails and how it should be carried out is often missing or insufficiently described. While expert qualitative researchers may be familiar with the concept, the wide variety of meanings and interpretations of t…
Sleep Quality in Patients with Heart Failure in the Spanish Population
Background : Heart failure is a major problem in western societies. Sleep Disorders maintain a bidirectional relationship with heart failure, as shown by studies conducted in other countries. This study aims to describe the quality of sleep in Spanish patients with heart failure. Materials and methods : We carried out a cross-sectional study to analyze the quality of sleep in a sample of 203 patients with a diagnosis of heart failure admitted to …
Care Dependency in Patients with Heart Failure
Background : Heart failure (HF) is a progressive and debilitating condition that represents an ever-growing problem for health systems worldwide. HF patients feel that they are a burden on their families, they feel socially isolated and have a low perception of their health. Accordingly, the objectives of this study were to: (1) to explore the profile of care dependency in a representative sample of Spanish HF patients through the Care Dependency…
