Understanding frictions in patient-reported outcome-based community healthcare - An institutional logics perspective.

Objective: Patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures in community-based healthcare play a significant role in the emerging field of digital health. This qualitative study explored healthcare professionals' (HCPs') experiences of integrating 'MyPROfile' as a dialogue tool in consultations in community healthcare.

Methods: Adopting a qualitative approach with a social constructivist perspective, the study utilised qualitative interviews, participant observations, and focus group interviews.

Health service provider views on measuring patient involvement in healthcare: an interview study with researchers, clinicians, service managers, and policymakers.

Background: There are several strategies used to assess involvement in their healthcare across service providers. However, there is no consensus on the most appropriate measurement tool to use when evaluating patient involvement initiatives. This qualitative study aimed to explore the perspectives of stakeholders from micro, meso, and macro levels within the Danish healthcare system on measuring patient involvement in their healthcare.

Nurses' perspectives on challenges and facilitators when implementing a self-management support intervention as an everyday healthcare practice: A qualitative study.

Aim: To explore registered nurses' perspectives on challenges and facilitators to implementing a telephone-based self-management support (SMS) intervention (Proactive Health Support) as an everyday healthcare practice, during the early stages of implementation.

Design: Data were collected using a qualitative research design involving focus-group interviews and participant observations.

Methods: We conducted participant observation following nine nurses and four focus group interviews with 14 nurses.

Mental well-being and patient activation during the first eight months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Denmark - a cohort study among 710 Danish adults with chronic conditions.

Background: COVID-19 has highlighted the importance of patient activation in managing chronic conditions and promoting resilience during times of crisis. Patient activation refers to an individual's knowledge, skills, and confidence in managing their own health and healthcare. Previous research has shown that people with higher levels of patient activation are better prepared to navigate the challenges of chronic illness and are more likely to engage in healthy behaviors.

Experiences of being at high-risk during the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on emotional well-being and daily life in people with chronic conditions: a qualitative study.

Background: With its health risks and extensive disruption to everyday life, the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the lives of billions of people. People with chronic conditions are particularly susceptible to severe illness if infected by COVID-19, and they have repeatedly been urged to take stringent steps to 'shield' themselves from the virus. It is argued that the negative impact of isolation and other lockdown-related restrictions on emotional well-being and daily life may be most prominent among people at increased risk for severe illness from COVID-19.

Changes in distress and turnover intentions among hospital-based nurses working during the first 8 months of the COVID-19 pandemic in Denmark: A prospective questionnaire study.

Aim: To describe changes in distress among Danish hospital-based nurses during the early month of the COVID-19 pandemic and to examine predictors of distress and turnover intentions.

Background: Outbreak of infectious diseases such as the COVID-19 pandemic can increase the likelihood that health professionals suffer from poor mental health even after the outbreak.

Methods: A prospective study among 426 Danish hospital-based nurses during the early month of the pandemic.

COVID-19 as moral breakdown: Entangled ethical demands experienced by hospital-based nurses in the early onset of the pandemic.

2020 saw the rapid onset of a global pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. For healthcare systems worldwide, the pandemic called upon quick organization ensuring treatment and containment measures for the new virus disease. Nurses were seen as constituting a vital instrumental professional component in this study.

Effect of patient-reported outcomes as a dialogue-based tool in cancer consultations on patient self-management and health-related quality of life: a clinical, controlled trial.

Background: With increased survival among patients with metastatic melanoma and limited time with health care providers, patients are expected to assume a more active role in managing their treatment and care. Activated patients have the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make effective solutions to self-manage health. The use of patient-reported outcomes (PRO) could have the potential to enhance patient activation.

Family involvement and patient-experienced improvement and satisfaction with care: a nationwide cross-sectional study in Danish psychiatric hospitals.

Background: Randomised controlled trials suggest that family therapy has a positive effect on the course of depression, schizophrenia and anorexia nervosa. However, it is largely unknown whether a positive link also exists between caregiver involvement and patient outcome in everyday psychiatric hospital care, using information reported directly from patients, i.e.

The impact of patient involvement in research: a case study of the planning, conduct and dissemination of a clinical, controlled trial.

Background: The interest in patient and public involvement (PPI) in health research is increasing. However, the experience and knowledge of PPI throughout the entire research process and especially in the analysis are limited. We explored ways to embrace the perspectives of patients in a research process, and the impact and challenges our collaboration has had on patients, researchers, and the research outcomes.

Proactive health support (PaHS) - telephone-based self-management support for persons at risk of hospital admission: Study protocol for a randomized controlled trial.

Background: A small proportion of patients account for most of the healthcare costs. Previous studies of supportive interventions have several methodological limitations and results are mixed. This article describes the protocol for Proactive Health Support: a national randomized controlled trial of telephone-based self-management support (ClinicalTrials.

The development of PROmunication: a training-tool for clinicians using patient-reported outcomes to promote patient-centred communication in clinical cancer settings.

Background: The value of using real-time patient-reported outcome (PRO) measures in cancer communication has gained attention both in the clinic and in research. Despite this, no internationally accepted guidelines or training programs for clinicians on how to engage in patient-centred communication based on PROs exist. Lack of training may complicate implementation and systematic use of PROs in the clinic.

Teaching Cancer Patients the Value of Correct Positioning During Radiotherapy Using Visual Aids and Practical Exercises.

The aim of this study was to investigate if teaching patients about positioning before radiotherapy treatment would (a) reduce the residual rotational set-up errors, (b) reduce the number of repositionings and (c) improve patients' sense of control by increasing self-efficacy and reducing distress. Patients were randomized to either standard care (control group) or standard care and a teaching session combining visual aids and practical exercises (intervention group). Daily images from the treatment sessions were evaluated off-line.

Cancer-related self-efficacy following a consultation with an oncologist.

Objective: When receiving a cancer diagnosis, patients are often faced with psychological distress and loss of control. As a result, their psychological well-being may be influenced by their perceived ability to cope with disease-related and treatment-related challenges. Research indicates that the patient-oncologist relationship may have an impact on patients' self-efficacy.
