The aim of this study was to describe the reasoning of people aged 60 years and over about prioritization in health care with regard to age and willingness to pay. Healthy people (n = 300) and people receiving continuous care and services (n = 146) who were between 60 and 101 years old were interviewed about their views on prioritization in health care. The transcribed interviews were analysed using manifest and latent qualitative content analysis. The participants' reasoning on prioritization embraced eight categories: feeling secure and confident in the health care system; being old means low priority; prioritization causes worries; using underhand means in order to be prioritized; prioritization as a necessity; being averse to anyone having precedence over others; having doubts about the distribution of resources; and buying treatment requires wealth.

Health Dialogue

The aim of this study was to explore child health care nurses’ experiences of conducting health dialogues with non-native-speaking parents. In Sweden, it is not routine that all non-native-speaking parents are invited to a health dialogue. Regardless of language and cultural background, it is important that all parents have the same opportunities to participate. The data were obtained through two focus-group interviews and analysed using qualitative content analysis. The results revealed one theme Need for cultural awareness in the health dialogue and two categories: Overcoming feelings of uncertainty, with a need for more transcultural knowledge regarding what health and health promotion mean in other cultures; and Adapting the process of the health dialogue, whereby interpreters need knowledge about the intention of health dialogues and the content of the tool used in the encounter. Transcultural competence is needed in encounters with parents from other cultures.

Emergency Situations

Interprofessional education refers to the collaboration of students from different disciplines towards the resolution of a series of clinical situations. The general objective of this study was to analyze the perspective of the participants in interprofessional simulations (doctors and nurses) in emergency situations. Qualitative study with an inductive approach for the identification of categories derived from the opinions provided by the participants in interprofessional simulations was conducted (n = 58). Individual open-ended questions were provided through a self-completed qualitative questionnaire. The answers were subjected to a descriptive content analysis. Three emergent themes, 13 categories and 21 sub-categories were obtained. Emotions-related aspects, strengths, and areas to be improved were identified with respect to the interprofessional simulations. The participants highlighted the great closeness to reality, they felt comfortable and confident, and their positive emotions had a greater weight than the negative ones (uncomfortableness, frustration, and insecurity). The most prominent positive aspects were teamwork, the realism of the training, and the empowerment of the nurses. The areas that could be improved were those related to aspects associated with carrying out the simulations, the demand for joint planning, and the improvements in the development of the sessions by the facilitators (co-debriefers). This work demonstrates the good reception of the learning experience by the participants. Interprofessional simulations are great learning tools, although weaknesses were found that could be improved with adequate planning by the educators.

Patient Narratives

BACKGROUND Patient experiences constitute an independent dimension of health care quality that can be solicited by structured surveys or at dedicated online platforms. Unsolicited spontaneous patient narratives are much less used but potentially valuable means for gauging patient experiences. OBJECTIVE Our aim was to explore patient experiences in spontaneous patient blogs submitted during one decade to an online health forum. METHODS 1662 non-solicited individual blogs on patient experiences posted between 2009 and 2018 on a Hungarian internet forum were randomly sampled. 20% (n=346) of the blogs were used for qualitative content analysis. A coding framework was constructed based on previous research and taxonomies to analyse content, including specific experiences or episodes. Major categories and subcategories were constructed within the three major dimensions (structure, process, outcome) of Donabedian’s framework for health care quality. RESULTS Majority of blogs described a specific experience (94.2%) in healthcare; almost 40% occurred in tertiary care; 29.5% of the blogs even identified a specific hospital or department. 55.2% of the bloggers were patients themselves, and the majority (92.7%) were dissatisfied with the reported experience. Issues were most frequently related to physicians (65.2%). In terms of Donabedian’s dimensions, problems with human resources dominated “Structure” (74.1%) such as not enough or incompetent staff. Waiting time and access to care (69.19%) comprised the most frequent complaints of material resources within “Structure”. Within “Process”, episodes related to examination (42.86%) accounted for most of the complaints. Outcomes were identified in 60% of the blogs, and deterioration, complication, readmission, or death was reported in 62% of these episodes. CONCLUSIONS Donabedian’s model of healthcare quality was appropriate for the categorization of patient experiences. Regular monitoring of spontaneous patient reports is recommended to utilize them for healthcare quality improvement especially if reports provide specific details.

Background:Voluntary doula care, as a complement to midwifery care, is emerging as support for women and their families throughout the childbearing period. Doula care is not an official part of the public health care system in Nordic countries.Aim:The aim was to describe and interpret women’s experiences of becoming voluntary unpaid doulas and to generate a model as part of a research program.Method:Latent qualitative content analysis was chosen using interviews with nine voluntary doulas in an NGO group in Finland.Findings:Becoming a voluntary doula seems to be related to two motives, personal and caring. Interest in and fascination with childbearing, doula care as rewarding and joyous but challenging work, and networking and affinity in the doula group are personal motives. The caring motives were seeing doula care as important for the childbearing woman and her partner, being humble about childbearing knowledge, understanding vulnerability and uniqueness in childbearing based on their own experiences, and seeing doula care as a complement to midwifery care.Conclusion:A model has been created suggesting that the balance between the two motives might be crucial for doula care. Ethical reflections on the motives for becoming and being a doula need to be supported in a caring culture where the primary focus is the best care for the woman and her partner in childbearing.

Background Peer-to-peer health care is increasing, especially amongst people living with a long-term condition. How information is shared is, however, sometimes of concern to health care professionals.Objective This study explored what information is being shared on health-related discussion boards and identified the approaches people used to signpost their peers to information.Methods This study was conducted using a qualitative content analysis methodology to explore information shared on discussion boards for people living with diabetes. Whilst there is debate about the best ethical lens to view research carried out on data posted on online discussion boards, the researchers chose to adopt the stance of treating this type of information as “personal health text”, a specific type of research data in its own right.Results Qualitative content analysis and basic descriptive statistics were used to analyse the selected posts. Two major themes were identified: ‘Information Sharing from Experience’ and ‘Signposting Other Sources of Information’.Conclusions People were actively engaging in information sharing in online discussion forums, mainly through direct signposting. The quality of the information shared was important, with reasons for recommendations being given. Much of the information sharing was based on experience, which also brought in information from external sources such as health care professionals and other acknowledged experts in the field.With the rise in peer-to-peer support networks, the nature of health knowledge and expertise needs to be redefined. People online are combining external information with their own personal experiences and sharing that for others to take and develop as they wish.

AbstractIntroductionPlanned and organized long-term rehabilitation services should be provided to victims of a disaster for social integration, economic self-sufficiency, and psychological health. There are few studies on recovery and rehabilitation issues in disaster situations. This study explores the disaster-related rehabilitation process.MethodThis study was based on qualitative analysis. Participants included 18 individuals (eight male and ten female) with experience providing or receiving disaster health care or services. Participants were selected using purposeful sampling. Data were collected through in-depth and semi-structured interviews. All interviews were transcribed and content analysis was performed based on qualitative content analysis.ResultsThe study explored three main concepts of recovery and rehabilitation after a disaster: 1) needs for health recovery; 2) intent to delegate responsibility; and 3) desire for a wide scope of social support. The participants of this study indicated that to provide comprehensive recovery services, important basic needs should be considered, including the need for physical rehabilitation, social rehabilitation, and livelihood health; the need for continuity of mental health care; and the need for family re-unification services. Providing social activation can help reintegrate affected people into the community.ConclusionEffective rehabilitation care for disaster victims requires a clear definition of the rehabilitation process at different levels of the community. Involving a wide set of those most likely to be affected by the process provides a comprehensive, continuous, culturally sensitive, and family-centered plan.KhankehH, NakhaeiM, MasoumiG, HosseiniM, Parsa-YektaZ, KurlandL, CastrenM.
