The extraordinary makes the ordinary visible - nursing students' experiences of their learning in clinical practice during COVID-19: a qualitative study.

Background: The COVID-19 crisis had a significant impact on health care and nursing education as a large part of it is carried out in clinical practice. However, it is not known how the learning situations during the pandemic affected students' learning. To deepen the understanding of students' learning, learning theories within a constructive paradigm is used as a framework for this study.

Symptom management strategies used by older community-dwelling people with multimorbidity and a high symptom burden - a qualitative study.

Background: Older community-dwelling people with multimorbidity are often not only vulnerable, but also suffer from several conditions that could produce a multiplicity of symptoms. This results in a high symptom burden and a reduced health-related quality of life. Even though these individuals often have frequent contact with healthcare providers they are expected to manage both appropriate disease control and symptoms by themselves or with the support of caregivers.

Illness beliefs among people living with treated coeliac disease.

Background: Evidence suggests that many people with coeliac disease (CD) suffer from continuing illness despite following a strict gluten-free diet. Beliefs affect how people experience and manage their residual symptoms. Illness beliefs therefore provide a useful framework for understanding these problems.

Spouse-related factors associated with quality of recovery of patients after hip or knee replacement - a Nordic perspective.

Background: Today's shorter hospital stays mean that patients may need support from informal caregivers during their recovery period. The responsibility for providing this support shifts from the healthcare staff to their family members fairly early in the recovery process. Spousal caregivers are considered to be the primary caregivers as their relationship with the patient is more interdependent than that of other family members or caregivers.

The quality of recovery on discharge from hospital, a comparison between patients undergoing hip and knee replacement - a European study.

Aims And Objectives: To describe and compare the quality of recovery on discharge from hospital among patients undergoing elective hip or knee replacement. The study will also attempt to identify any predicting factors.

Background: Arthroplasty is commonly used for an increasing population of patients with osteoarthritis, and the recovery process starts directly after surgery.

Fulfilment of knowledge expectations among family members of patients undergoing arthroplasty: a European perspective.

In the recovery process of arthroplasty patients, their family members play an important role due to short hospital stay and increased age of patients. Family members need to have knowledge to be able to support the patient. The aim of this study was to explore expected and received knowledge in family members of arthroplasty patients and describe the relationships between the differences in received and expected knowledge and background factors, country, information and control preferences and access to knowledge.

Fulfilment of knowledge expectations and emotional state among people undergoing hip replacement: a multi-national survey.

Background: Patient education in connection with hip replacement is intended to prepare patients for surgery, discharge and postoperative recovery. Patients experience symptoms and emotions due to disease or upcoming surgery which can affect how their knowledge expectations are fulfilled.

Objectives: To describe the differences between received and expected knowledge in patients undergoing elective hip replacement in three Nordic countries, and to analyse how these differences are related to patients' characteristics, preoperative symptoms and emotions.

The fulfilment of knowledge expectations during the perioperative period of patients undergoing knee arthroplasty -- a Nordic perspective.

Aims And Objectives: To describe the possible differences between knowledge expectations and received knowledge of patients undergoing elective knee arthroplasty in Iceland, Sweden and Finland and also to determine the relationship between such a difference and both background factors and patient satisfaction with care.

Background: Knee arthroplasty is a fast-growing and a successful treatment for patients with osteoarthritis. Patient education can improve surgery outcomes, but it remains unknown what knowledge patients expect to receive and actually acquire during the perioperative period and what factors are related to that experience.

Knowledge expectations of surgical orthopaedic patients: a European survey.

Ageing population entails a growing international problem of osteoarthritis. Best practices for education of these patients are lacking. This study focused on empowering education in Northern (Finland, Iceland, Lithuania and Sweden) and Southern Europe (Cyprus, Greece and Spain).
