Registered Nurses' Patient Education in Everyday Primary Care Practice: Managers' Discourses.

Nurses' patient education is important for building patients' knowledge, understanding, and preparedness for self-management. The aim of this study was to explore the conditions for nurses' patient education work by focusing on managers' discourses about patient education provided by nurses. In 2012, data were derived from three focus group interviews with primary care managers.

Perpetuating 'New Public Management' at the expense of nurses' patient education: a discourse analysis.

This study aimed to explore the conditions for nurses' daily patient education work by focusing on managers' way of speaking about the patient education provided by nurses in hospital care. An explorative, qualitative design with a social constructionist perspective was used. Data were collected from three focus group interviews and analysed by means of critical discourse analysis.

Registered nurses' perceptions of conditions for patient education--focusing on aspects of competence.

Background: It is important to clarify nurses' perceptions of conditions for patient education in daily work as research findings are ambiguous. There is a gap between societal regulations on nurses' competence in accomplishment/achievement of patient education and research findings.

Aim: The aim was to describe nurses' perceptions of conditions for patient education, focusing on aspects of competence.

Registered nurses' perceptions of conditions for patient education - focusing on organisational, environmental and professional cooperation aspects.

Aim: To describe nurses' perceptions of conditions for patient education, focusing on organisational, environmental and professional cooperation aspects, and to determine any differences between primary, municipal and hospital care.

Background: Although patient education is an important part of daily nursing practice, the conditions for this work are unclear and require clarification.

Method: A stratified random sample of 701 (83%) nurses working in primary, municipal and hospital care completed a 60-item questionnaire.

Nurses' patient-education work: conditional factors - an integrative review.

Aim: The aim of this review was to identify conditional factors for nurses' patient-education work and to identify foundational aspects of significance when designing studies on this patient-education work.

Background: A few reviews of nurses patient education work exist, published up to 30 years ago, spawning interest in performing a review of more recent studies.

Evaluation: A search of CINAHL, MEDLINE and ERIC was made for articles dating from 1998 to 2011.

How do nurses record pedagogical activities? Nurses' documentation in patient records in a cardiac rehabilitation unit for patients who have undergone coronary artery bypass surgery.

Aims: To describe the use of pedagogically related keywords and the content of notes connected to these keywords, as they appear in nursing records in a coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery rehabilitation unit.

Background: Nursing documentation is an important component of clinical practice and is regulated by law in Sweden. Studies have been carried out in order to evaluate the educational and rehabilitative needs of patients following CABG surgery but, as yet, no study has contained an in-depth evaluation of how nurses document pedagogical activities in the records of these patients.

In search of details of patient teaching in nursing documentation--an analysis of patient records in a medical ward in Sweden.

Aim: The aim of this study was to identify terms and expressions indicating patients' need for knowledge and understanding, as well as nurses' teaching interventions, as documented in nursing records.

Methods: Patient records (N = 35) were collected in a general medical ward in a hospital in Sweden.
