Sociodemographic, personal, and disease-related determinants of referral to patient-reported outcome-based follow-up of remote outpatients
Both self-reported and register-based analyses indicated that socioeconomically advantaged patients were referred more often to PRO-based follow-up than socioeconomically disadvantaged patients
Patient involvement in the development of the Danish surgical breast cancer patient pathway – An action research project
Although patient involvement is on the political agenda, the influence on clinical practice is poorly described. The aim of this study was to explore and evaluate the participatory process of involving patients and relatives in development of a surgical breast cancer patient pathway. The overall design was insider action research and included two Danish surgical breast cancer clinics. In dialogue meetings patients, relatives, and healthcare profe…
Surgical breast cancer patient pathway
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Breast cancer is the most common cancer disease in women worldwide. In Denmark, the law prescribes cancer patient pathways (CPPs) in general and thus also for breast cancer. Although results from patient satisfaction surveys show overall satisfaction with the pathway, a call for improvement has been voiced for some areas. The aim of this study was to explore patients' and relatives' experiences with the surgical breast CPP and…
Integrating a Patient-Controlled Admission Program Into Mental Health Hospital Service
Patient-controlled admissions (PCAs) enable mental health patients by means of a contract to initiate an admission at a mental health hospital unit without using traditional admission procedures. This study was part of a 3-year Danish multicenter project, and we explored how mental health professionals experienced and managed the implementation of a PCA program. The methodology was grounded theory and the sample included 26 participants. We perfo…
Experience of Being Young With Psoriasis
Psoriasis is a long-term condition with a possibly cumulative life course impairment. Young people struggle to minimize its effects on appearance and functioning. To date, the self-management needs of adolescents suffering from psoriasis have been underinvestigated. Using focus groups and individual interviews, we present an interpretive description of young people's experiences of living with psoriasis, the challenges they face, and the support …
What Was (Also) at Stake When a Robot Bathtub Was Implemented in a Danish Elder Center
Assistive technologies are often considered to be passive tools implemented in targeted processes. Our previous study of the implementation of the robot bathtub in a Danish elder center suggested that purposeful rationality was not the only issue at stake. To further explore this, we conducted a constructivist secondary qualitative analysis. Data included interviews, participant observations, working documents, and media coverage. The analysis wa…
Foucault's notion of problematization
This study takes its point of departure in an oft‐voiced critique that the French philosopher Michel Foucault gives discourse priority over practice, thereby being deterministic and leaving little space for the individual to act as an agent. Based on an interpretation of the latter part of Foucault's oeuvre, we argue against this critique and provide a methodological discussion of the perception that Foucault's method constitutes, primarily, disc…
Revisiting Symbolic Interactionism as a Theoretical Framework Beyond the Grounded Theory Tradition
The tight bond between grounded theory (GT) and symbolic interactionism (SI) is well known within the qualitative health research field. We aimed to disentangle this connection through critical reflection on the conditions under which it might add value as an underpinning to studies outside the GT tradition. Drawing on an examination of the central tenets of SI, we illustrate with a field study using interpretive description as methodology how SI…
Ruptured thought
In this paper, we introduce the notion of ‘rupture’ from the F rench philosopher M ichel F oucault, whose studies of discourse and governmentality have become prominent within nursing research during the last 25 years. We argue that a rupture perspective can be helpful for identifying and maintaining a critical potential within nursing research. The paper begins by introducing rupture as an inheritance from the F rench epistemological tradition. …
Disclosure Decisions
The purpose of this grounded theory study was to investigate how Danish HIV-positive persons live with their disease, focusing on HIV-related stressors. Using the Glaserian method, we analyzed textual data from in-depth interviews with 16 HIV-positive persons. Decisions about disclosure appeared to be a major concern and a determining factor for HIV-related stress. Consequently, we developed a substantive theory about disclosure decisions in whic…
