Degendered care and the biomedicalization of masculinity after myocardial infarction
This study investigates the interplay between biomedical practices and sociocultural constructs of gender and masculinity in shaping healthcare professionals’ (HCPs) understandings of myocardial infarction (MI) and MI patients. Theoretically, the study departed from the ongoing reframing of healthcare in Sweden and internationally, whereby the medical gaze is transformed into biomedicalization. The findings show that the dominance of biomedical p…
(Re)constructing Intersectional Masculinities Following Myocardial Infarction
This study builds on interview data with 24 Swedish men who have been diagnosed with and treated for myocardial infarction (MI). The aim is to explore how masculine subjectivities are constituted and dynamically negotiated through men's meaning‐making of their illness experiences, with particular attention to how notions of masculinity intersect with and are shaped by social categories such as class and age. Across the data, various configuration…

Young Spouses' Experiences of Having a Partner With Heart Disease and Adolescents Living at Home
AIM: To describe the life situation of spouses having a partner with heart disease and adolescents living at home. DESIGN: Qualitative inductive design. METHOD: Participants (n = 22) were included from three Scandinavian countries. Semi-structured interviews were analysed using thematic analysis with an inductive and latent approach. RESULTS: Three themes were derived. 'Being in spousal and parental role transition' described how daily life had b…
Development and psychometric properties of a short version of the Patient Continuity of Care Questionnaire
INTRODUCTION: Hospitalization due to cardiac conditions is increasing worldwide, and follow-up after hospitalization usually occurs in a different healthcare setting than the one providing treatment during hospitalization. This leads to a risk of fragmented care and increases the need for coordination and continuity of care after hospitalization. Furthermore, international reports highlight the importance of improving continuity of care and state…
Symptom Recognition as a Mediator in the Self-Care of Chronic Illness
Background The recognition of a symptom is needed to initiate a decision to engage in a behavior to ameliorate the symptom. Yet, a surprising number of individuals fail to detect symptoms and delay in addressing early warnings of a health problem. Purpose The aim of this study was to test the hypothesis that symptom recognition mediates the relationship between monitoring for and management of symptoms of a chronic illness. Methods A secondary an…
Communication about Prognosis and End-of-Life in Heart Failure Care and Experiences Using a Heart Failure Question Prompt List
Using a HF-QPL in HF care has the potential to start conversation and facilitate discussion about the HF trajectory
Tele-Yoga in Long Term Illness–Protocol for a Randomised Controlled Trial Including a Process Evaluation and Results from a Pilot Study
Our pilot study showed promising results in feasibility, safety, and acceptability of the tele-yoga intervention. Some changes in the protocol have been made to decrease the risk of missing data in the measures of physical function and in the full-scale RCT now ongoing the results of the sample size calculation for 300 participants have included the estimated level of drop outs and missing data
Tools to Support Self-Care Monitoring at Home
Self-care monitoring at home can be a challenge for patients with heart failure (HF). Tools that leverage information and communication technology (ICT), comprise medical devices, or have written material may support their efforts at home. The aim of this study was to describe HF patients' experiences and their prioritization of tools that support, or could support, self-care monitoring at home. A descriptive qualitative design employing semi-str…
Perspectives of Health Care Providers on the Role of Culture in the Self-Care of Patients with Chronic Heart Failure
Cultural-specific barriers for self-care were perceived by health care providers and they identified that their own cultural background shapes their experiences and their practices
Long-term effects of a dyadic psycho-educational intervention on caregiver burden and morbidity in partners of patients with heart failure
Practical guide on home health in heart failure patients
We summarised the state of the art of home-based care for heart failure patients in Europe, described the typical content of such care to provide a guide for health care providers
Implementation and testing of a digital pen and paper tool to support patients with heart failure and their health care providers in detecting early signs of deterioration and monitor adherence
To implement and evaluate a HF management tool for patients with chronic HF using digital pen and paper for improvement of patient self-management
Heart failure at home—patients’ experiences of participation in structured home care
Introduction: Acute hospital settings do not provide the ideal care environment for older patients with heart failure (HF). An option is to provide advanced HF care in the patient's home. A European integrated home-care model has been developed with the goals that patients will experience participation, safety and have knowledge about their disease and treatment. Participation in care has shown to have positive effects on self-care activities
