Healthcare professionals' perspectives on the use of medicinal cannabis to manage chronic pain: A systematic search and narrative review.

Rationale, Aims, And Objectives: Chronic pain is a global public health problem that negatively impacts individuals' quality of life and imposes a substantial economic burden on societies. The use of medicinal cannabis (MC) is often considered by patients to help manage chronic pain as an alternative or supplement to more conventional treatments, given enabling legalization in a number of countries. However, healthcare professionals involved in providing guidance for patients related to MC are often doing so in the absence of strong evidence and clinical guidelines.

'It is like learning how to live all over again' A systematic review of people's experiences of living with a chronic illness from a self-determination theory perspective.

To conduct a systematic review and synthesis of qualitative evidence exploring the views and experiences of people living with a chronic illness that utilised self-determination theory. We searched MEDLINE via OvidSP, PsycINFO via OvidSP, PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, Google Scholar, the journals Qualitative Health Research and Qualitative Research. Studies were included if they used qualitative methods, explored the subjective experiences of people living with a chronic illness and underpinned the analysis with self-determination theory.

Living with severe asthma: the role of perceived competence and goal achievement.

Objective: The overall aim of this study was to examine, among individuals living with severe asthma, the role of perceived competence in achieving their goals.

Objective: This study aimed to explore the role of autonomy in patients' narratives about their experiences of living with and managing severe asthma.

"…I've said I wish I was dead, you'd be better off without me": A systematic review of people's experiences of living with severe asthma.

Objective: Our aim was to conduct a systematic review and synthesis of qualitative evidence exploring the lived experience of adults with severe asthma.

Data Sources: We searched MEDLINE via OvidSP, PsycINFO via OvidSP, PubMed, CINAHL, EMBASE, Sociological Abstracts, Google Scholar, the journals Qualitative Health Research and Qualitative Research, and a study of experiences of living with asthma by the Health Experiences Research group.

Objective: To capture the experiences and perceptions of Australian patients regarding MRPs following discharge from hospital.
