Sexual well-being needs of patients with chronic illness expressed in health care: A scoping review.

Aims: To systematically identify and summarize the needs of chronically ill people concerning their sexual well-being in peer-reviewed published literature, to enable healthcare professionals to provide support in self-management satisfying the needs.

Design: A scoping review was performed according to the framework of (JBI Manual for Evidence Synthesis. JBI Global Wiki, 2020).

Being wheelchair-bound and being bedridden: Two concept analyses.

Aim: Analysis of the concepts and development of a conceptual definition of being wheelchair-bound and being bedridden.

Design: Concept analysis.

Methods: Walker and Avant´s concept analysis method was used.

["If you're no longer able to get out and about …" Validity and differentiation of the concepts of being homebound, wheelchair-bound and bedridden: A Delphi study].

Introduction: Being place-bound, including the dimensions of being homebound, wheelchair-bound and bedridden, has multifactorial consequences and carries an increased risk of mortality. The prevalence of being homebound and bedridden is high. Valid concepts are necessary to recognize the dimensions of being place-bound in practice and to act preventively or reductively.

The burden of boundedness and the implication for nursing: A scoping review.

Background: In the COVID-19 pandemic, many people experienced temporal boundedness in different ways (e.g., home, country, persons, and rules).

Homebound: A concept analysis.

Aim: Analysis of the concept and development of a conceptual definition of homebound.

Background: Homebound persons have a significantly higher mortality risk as well as physical and psychosocial burden. A clarification of the term is necessary to develop preventive measures.

[Local confinement and bedridden in the context of boundedness - The development of a conceptual definition based on an integrative review].

Background: Local confinement and bedridden are important phenomena in nursing care. Nevertheless, conceptual definitions and appropriate nursing diagnoses are missing in the current nursing classification systems. Aim: The aim is to provide the basis for a conceptual definition.

[Transparency and replicability of nursing intervention studies in long-term care: A selective literature review].

Background And Objective: The development and evaluation of interventions in long-term care is time-consuming and expensive due to their complexity. To ensure reproducibility and successful implementation, these interventions must be described and published in a comprehensible and qualitative manner. The aim of this study is to analyze intervention studies from the inpatient long-term care setting with regard to their completeness, reporting quality, transparency and thus reproducibility.

[A reflective case report applied to pain management in a complex care situation].

Problem: This case report deals with the unsatisfying pain management of a 44 year old patient with cardiac arrest and subsequent cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The patient has (1) a reduced consciousness, (2) is isolated due to an infection with multi-resistant germs, (3) has a tracheotomy and (4) contractures of the muscles in fingers and hands. During nursing care he shows facial expressions and body postures that indicate pain which is insufficiently addressed.

Informed consent, vulnerability and the risks of group-specific attribution.

People in extraordinary situations are vulnerable. As research participants, they are additionally threatened by abuse or exploitation and the possibility of harm through research. To protect people against these threats, informed consent as an instrument of self-determination has been introduced.

Mind the gaps in ethical regulations of nursing research.

The introduction of and the commitment to evidence-based nursing in all care settings have led to a rapid increase of intervention and outcome-based research programs. Yet, the topics of nursing research are not only affected by interventions and outcomes but also affected by the concept of caring derived from humanistic philosophy. Considering this twofold orientation of nursing science, nuanced ethical regulations for nursing research programs are called for.

[Standardised assessment instruments in the light of hermeneutics].

The use of standardised assessment instruments as part of evidence based practice is the logic result of its scientific foundation. The aim of this article is to show that the quality of assessments depends not only on the instrument itself but also on how it is applied. It is argued that the use of generalized insights in assessing an individual situation requires a multidimensional approach of interpretation.
