Adaptation before and one year after liver transplantation
INTRODUCTION: Liver transplant recipients undergo emotional, social and existential changes. Adaptation begins before surgery and continues long after discharge. However, no longitudinal grounded theory study has described this process across the transplantation trajectory. This study explored how individuals adapted by addressing their main concerns. METHODS: Twelve adults (mean age 49.3 years, range 25-70) were interviewed pre- and post-transpl…
The Meaning of Sense of Coherence (SOC) in Persons with Late Effects of Polio—A Qualitative Study
Sense of Coherence (SOC), comprising comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness, is important for the sense of living a good life with Late Effects of Polio (LEoP). However, there is a lack of knowledge about the meaning of these three components. The aim of this study was to explore in-depth the meaning of SOC among persons living with LEoP, in terms of comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness. A directed content analysis was…
Life Satisfaction and Adaptation in Persons with Parkinson’s Disease—A Qualitative Study
Persons with Parkinson's disease (PD) need to adapt to their progressive disability to achieve and maintain a high degree of life satisfaction (LS), but little is known about the meaning of LS and adaptation. This study aimed to gain an in-depth understanding of the meaning of LS and adaptation in persons with PD. Open-ended in-depth interviews were performed with 13 persons diagnosed with PD, 9 women, 3 men, and one non-binary person (mean age 5…
Social Belonging as the Main Concern for Achieving Life Satisfaction When Adapting to Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex, progressive neurological condition that impacts daily life and reduces life satisfaction (LS). To achieve and maintain high LS, persons with PD (PwPD) must go through a process of change to adapt to their new life situation. However, our knowledge about this process is very limited. The aim of this study was to investigate the process of change, and the main concern in this process, in PwPD. To study the tra…
Parents’ Reported Experiences When Having a Child with Cataract—Important Aspects of Self-Management Obtained from the Pediatric Cataract Register (Pecare)
Parents are a crucial part in the care of children with pediatric cataract. The aim of this study was to explore and explain sense of coherence, family self-efficacy, perceived social support, fatigue and parent reported experiences (PREM), in order to improve clinical care. Questionnaires were sent to the parents of children registered in the Swedish national Paediatric Cataract Register, PECARE, from 2006-2019 ( n = 506). The response rate was …
Symptom Occurrence and Distress after Heart Transplantation—A Nationwide Cross-Sectional Cohort Study
Experiencing symptoms after heart transplantation may hamper the heart recipient's self-management which can lead to negative effects. We know little about symptom occurrence and distress after heart transplantation, especially in relation to sociodemographic variables. The aim of the study was to explore self-reported symptom occurrence and distress after heart transplantation and their relationship with self-reported psychological well-being an…
The Meaning of Surviving Three Years after a Heart Transplant—A Transition from Uncertainty to Acceptance through Adaptation
The rationale was to longitudinally follow-up interviews performed with heart recipients at their one-year examination in order to deepen the understanding of the meaning of surviving a heart transplant. The aim was to explore the meaning of surviving three years after a heart transplant compared to one year and to identify what constitutes the change process. A phenomenological-hermeneutic method was used. This multicenter study was carried out …
Implementing a Feasible Exercise Programme in an Allogeneic Haematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation Setting—Impact on Physical Activity and Fatigue
Physical exercise for patients treated with allogeneic haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) has shown positive effects on the quality of life and fatigue in experimental trials. However, there is a need for longitudinal evaluation of exercise programmes implemented in a real-world clinical setting. The aim of this prospective study was to evaluate the impact of an exercise programme introduced before allo-HSCT on physical activity…
Specialist Ambulance Nurses’ Perceptions of Nursing
Although nursing is the main area of interest in the curriculum of the specialist ambulance nursing program in the advanced level of education, there has been reported a lack of knowledge about nursing in within the ambulance service. The aim was to explore specialist ambulance nurses' perceptions of nursing, which were explored by employing a phenomenographic approach. The study comprises individual interviews with 19 strategically selected spec…
The Being Taken Seriously Questionnaire—Development and Psychometric Evaluation of a PREM Measure for Person-Centeredness in a High-Tech Hospital Environment
There is a need for patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) in high-tech hospital environments based on the philosophy of person-centeredness. The aim of this study was to describe the development and initial psychometric evaluation of a measure of person-centeredness by means of being taking seriously. In this cross-sectional survey, the study sample (n = 79) completed two measures, the Being Taken Seriously Questionnaire-Patient version (B…

Understanding the Perceived Threat of the Risk of Graft Rejections
From a clinical viewpoint, graft rejection is one of the greatest threats faced by an organ transplant recipient (OTR). We propose a middle-range theory (MRT) of Perceived Threat of the Risk of Graft Rejection (PTRGR) as a contribution to the practice of transplant nursing. It could also apply to the detection of risky protective behavior, that is, isolation, avoidance, or non-adherence. The proposed MRT covers the following concepts and the rela…
