Health-related quality of life and mental health outcomes among cancer survivors in an insomnia intervention: A Randomized Controlled Trial
BACKGROUND: While brief behavioral therapy for insomnia (BBTI) has shown promising results in improving sleep outcomes, its effects on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) and mental health among cancer survivors have been understudied. PURPOSE: To evaluate the effect of BBTI on HRQOL and mental health outcomes among cancer survivors, relative to an attention control group receiving a healthy eating program (HEP), over periods from baseline to …
Facilitated telemedicine for hepatitis C virus: Addressing challenges for improving health and life for people with opioid use disorder
BACKGROUND: People who use drugs (PWUD) frequently delay or avoid obtaining medical care in traditional healthcare settings. Through a randomized controlled trial, we investigated facilitated telemedicine for hepatitis C virus (HCV) integrated into opioid treatment programmes. We sought to understand the experiences and meanings of facilitated telemedicine and an HCV cure among PWUD. METHODS: We utilized purposive sampling to interview 25 partici…

This study is a secondary analysis of data collected from four web-based focus groups of nurses and computer scientists who were frequent Internet users. Our aim in this secondary study was to examine gender differences and shared practices in the interpretation of narratives when using this technology. We found that women have different values than men when using the Internet. We can use this information to inform nurses of the gender values tha…
Redefining Life While Forestalling Death: Living with an Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator after a Sudden Cardiac Death Experience
Secondary analysis is a resourceful approach for making further use of existing data sets to answer questions not previously addressed or to expand on content not specifically examined in the original study. Using Heideggerian hermeneutics, the author analyzed transcripts of the stories of individuals with implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) from three of her earlier phenomenological studies to obtain a description of the experience of …
Faculty Experiences Teaching Native Americans in a University Setting
Nursing faculty told their stories about the beginnings of a Native American Family Nurse Practitioner Recruitment Program. Through hermeneutical analysis, the authors’ findings reveal a strong academic worldview, active in maintaining professional standards. This traditional view tends to override efforts to provide individualized programs that are culturally relevant to the Native American worldviews. By understanding the value conflicts active…
Images and sensations of war: A common theme in the history of military nursing
We analyzed interviews with 22 military nurses who had served in wars or conflicts since World War II, up to and including Operation Desert Storm. Using a method of hermeneutic phenomenology, we found several common themes in the interviews. In this article, we report on the theme Images and Sensations of War. Within that theme, the subcategories sights, sounds, and other sensations (climate and weather, taste, smell, and comfort) were discovered…
