"Organizing practice": The hidden work of homecare nurses in fighting health inequity and advancing social justice.

The nursing profession has a long history of advocating for social justice and health equity, and both values profoundly infuse nursing ethics, theory, and education. Homecare nursing occurs between the patient's daily life at home and the public health care system. Therefore, homecare nurses ideally possess insight into the living conditions and social determinants of health that their patients experience.

Nursing and Social Justice-A Scoping Review.

Background: Nursing is historically, ethically, and theoretically mandated to champion social justice.

Objective: To investigate how the concept of "social justice" has been explored in nursing research regarding extent, range, and nature.

Methods: The five-stage framework by Arksey and O'Malley was adopted, and JBI and PRISMA guidelines further informed the study.

Introducing patient stories in health sciences education: the learning experiences of students.

Background: It has been advocated that the development of medical school curricula must be informed by students, doctors in training, educators, employers, other health and social care professionals and patients, families and carers. Patients are widely employed to teach clinical and interpersonal skills, and while recognised as crucial in health education, they have mostly been offered a passive role. We assessed the impact of patients contributing personal illness narratives in the master curriculum of allied health care professionals on students' learning experiences.

The construction of meaning in alcohol addiction: A narrative study of socially excluded people's stories about alcohol.

Aim: The aim of this study is to illuminate the experience of living with alcohol addiction from the perspective of socially excluded people outside the healthcare system. It presents the results from a qualitative study of five personal narratives from socially excluded men living with alcohol addiction in Denmark. The group is rarely heard and often underprioritised in the Danish healthcare system, contributing to the social inequality in public health.

Caring responsibility from the perspectives of older persons whose adult children are their caregivers.

Aim: To describe lifeworld insights into the phenomenon of caring responsibility from the perspectives of persons aged 80+ years living alone with chronic illness, physical frailty and dependency on adult children.

Design: A phenomenological inquiry inspired by Reflective Lifeworld Research.

Method: Semi-structured lifeworld interviews with 11 persons aged 80+ years were conducted following their discharge.

A phenomenological-hermeneutic study exploring caring responsibility for a chronically ill, older parent with frailty.

Aim: To provide lifeworld insights into experiences of adult children with caring responsibility for an 80+-year-old chronically ill parent with frailty.

Background: Informal care is common in Nordic welfare countries; however, little is known about adult children's experience of caring responsibility in this setting.

Design: A phenomenological-hermeneutic study based on Reflective Lifeworld Research.

Theoretical development in the context of nursing-The hidden epistemology of nursing theory.

This article is about nursing theories, the development of nursing knowledge and the underlying, hidden epistemology. The current technical-economical rationality in society and health care calls for a specific kind of knowledge based on a traditional Western, Socratic view of science. This has an immense influence on the development of nursing knowledge.

Nurses' shift reports: a systematic literature search and critical review of qualitative field studies.

Aims And Objectives: To identify reporting practices that feature in studies of nurses' shift reports across diverse nursing specialities. The objectives were to perform an exhaustive systematic literature search and to critically review the quality and findings of qualitative field studies of nurses' shift reports.

Background: Nurses' shift reports are routine occurrences in healthcare organisations that are viewed as crucial for patient outcomes, patient safety and continuity of care.

Involvement of patients with lung and gynecological cancer and their relatives in psychosocial cancer rehabilitation: a narrative review.

Introduction: Getting cancer is stressful for most patients and their relatives, and research has shown that psychosocial support is needed. Still, cancer care fails to appropriately address psychosocial problems associated with cancer. Research on this topic is often seen from the perspective of either the patient or the relative, even though it is suggested that psychosocial support is beneficial for the patient and the relative as a pair.
