Psychometric Evaluation of the Patient‐Experienced Continuity of Care Questionnaire (Pecq) Using Rasch Model
BACKGROUND: The Patient-Experienced Continuity of care Questionnaire (PECQ) was developed to measure continuity of care (CoC) in primary care, but has only been evaluated in accordance with classical test theory, which has some weaknesses compared with modern test theory. AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the measurement properties of the PECQ using the Rasch model. METHOD: Data for this psychometric study were collected using questionna…
The Family Talk Intervention Improves Family Communication and Psychosocial Health Among Families in Pediatric Palliative Care: A Pre-Post Evaluation Study
Background: The psychosocial needs of families involving a child with a life-limiting or life-threatening condition are well recognized. However, evidence-based interventions that address the needs of the entire family remain scarce, even though family health can be maintained and supported if interventions encompass each individual family member, as well as the family as a unit. The aim was to evaluate the family talk intervention (FTI), regardi…
Psychometric evaluation of the mandarin version of the caregiver task inventory (CTI-45) for family caregivers of stroke survivors
The Mandarin version of the CTI-45 demonstrated good psychometric properties and could be used to assess the multidimensional care needs of family caregivers caring for stroke survivors
The Family Talk Intervention in Pediatric Oncology: Potential Effects Reported by Parents
The findings regarding FTI's ability to improve family communication and family relations, thus strengthening family togetherness in families with childhood cancer, are promising. This provides motivation for a large-scale study of FTIs in pediatric oncology
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…
Posttraumatic Growth After Struggling With the Loss of a Parent in Young Adulthood
This study aims to examine posttraumatic growth and its associations with parental bereavement among adolescents and young adults. Fifty-five young adults who had lost a parent to cancer at least 2 months earlier and were about to attend a support group at a palliative care service were recruited. Data was collected through questionnaires before support group participation, about 5-8 months after the loss and at a 6-month follow-up, about 14-18 m…
Preparedness for caregiving and preparedness for death: Associations and modifiable thereafter factors among family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer in specialized home care
The purpose of this study was to (1) explore associations between preparedness for caregiving and preparedness for death among family caregivers of patients with advanced cancer and (2) explore modifiable preparedness factors, such as communication and support. Data was derived from a baseline questionnaire collected in specialized home care. The questionnaire included socio-demographics, the Preparedness for Caregiving Scale, and single items ad…
Factors associated with increased physical activity among patients prescribed physical activity in Swedish routine health care including an offer of counselor support: A 1-year follow-up
An increase in physical activity after PAP was related to low baseline activity, positive perception of support, and use of counselor support after PAP. Qualified counseling support linked to PAP seems to be important for achieving increased physical activity among patients with lower baseline activity
Symptoms of Prolonged Grief and Self-Reported Health Among Bereaved Family Members of Persons Who Died From Sudden Cardiac Arrest
Sudden cardiac arrest is common and is one of the leading causes of death in the western world, and the sudden loss following cardiac arrest may have a significant impact on bereaved family members' health. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe symptoms of prolonged grief and self-reported health among bereaved family members of persons who died from sudden cardiac arrest, with comparisons between spouses and non-spouses. This was a cr…
Physical Activity on Prescription in Routine Health Care: 1-Year Follow-Up of Patients with and without Counsellor Support
The effectiveness of counsellor support in addition to physical activity on prescription (PAP) from health care professionals has rarely been evaluated. This observational follow-up study investigated differences in physical activity levels and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) one year after PAP regarding patients' use of counsellor support in addition to PAP in routine care. The study was conducted in a Swedish health care region in which …
Associations Between Fear of Covid-19, Mental Health, and Preventive Behaviours Across Pregnant Women and Husbands: An Actor-Partner Interdependence Modelling
The present cross-sectional study examined the actor-partner interdependence effect of fear of COVID-19 among Iranian pregnant women and their husbands and its association with their mental health and preventive behaviours during the first wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. A total of 290 pregnant women and their husbands ( N = 580) were randomly selected from a list of pregnant women in the Iranian Integrated Health System and were invited t…

Losing a close person following death by sudden cardiac arrest: Bereaved family members’ lived experiences
The death of a close person has profound impact on people's lives, and when death is sudden there are no possibilities to prepare for the loss. The study aimed to illuminate meanings of losing a close person following sudden cardiac arrest. A qualitative interpretive design was used, and twelve bereaved family members were interviewed. The results show a transition from pending between life and sudden loss during resuscitation and proceeding with…
Development and content validation of the Telenursing Interaction and Satisfaction Questionnaire (Tisq)
BACKGROUND: Caller satisfaction with telephone advice nursing (TAN) is generally high, and the interaction is essential. However, a valid questionnaire exploring caller satisfaction in TAN with focus on perceived interaction is lacking. OBJECTIVE: To develop and assess content validity and test-retest reliability of a theoretically anchored questionnaire, the Telenursing Interaction and Satisfaction Questionnaire (TISQ), that explores caller sati…
Variations in grief, anxiety, depression, and health among family caregivers before and after the death of a close person in the context of palliative home care
This article investigates longitudinal variations in grief, self-rated health, and symptoms of anxiety and depression among family caregivers in palliative care. Data were taken from a randomized psycho-educational intervention trial and were collected at four time-points; at baseline, upon completion, 2 months later, and 6 months after the patient's death. In total, 117 family caregivers completed all questionnaires. The participants' grief was …

Prevalence of alcohol use before and during pregnancy and predictors of drinking during pregnancy: A cross sectional study in Sweden
The prevalence of drinking during pregnancy is relatively low in Sweden. However, 84% of the women report drinking in the year preceding pregnancy and most of these women continue to drink until pregnancy recognition, which means that they might have consumed alcohol in early pregnancy. Six factors were found to predict alcohol consumption during pregnancy. These factors should be addressed in the work to prevent alcohol-exposed pregnancies
