Monitoring outcome measures for cardiometabolic disease during rehabilitation and follow-up in people with spinal cord injury.

Study Design: Controlled pragmatic intervention with follow-up.

Objectives: To describe cardiometabolic risk outcomes after a pragmatic intervention implemented into standard spinal cord injury (SCI) rehabilitation.

Setting: Inpatient SCI rehabilitation in East-Denmark.

An observational study on body mass index during rehabilitation and follow-up in people with spinal cord injury in Denmark.

Study Design: Observational study OBJECTIVE: To describe body mass index (BMI) during rehabilitation in people with a newly sustained spinal cord injury (SCI).

Setting: Inpatient SCI rehabilitation in Denmark.

Participants: Inpatients, >18 years, having sustained a SCI within the last 12 months at admission to primary rehabilitation, inclusive of various SCI etiology, neurological level, completeness of the lesion or mobility status.

Motivation, Barriers, and Suggestions for Intradialytic Exercise-A Qualitative Study among Patients and Nurses.

: Intradialytic exercise is an effective intervention to reduce morbidity and mortality and increase quality of life among patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing dialysis. However, implementing and sustaining it in clinical practice has proved challenging. To identify how to best design an effective and sustainable intervention in clinical practice, we aimed to explore hemodialysis patients' and nurses' attitudes towards intradialytic exercise, including their motivation, anticipated barriers, and suggestions for the design of a proposed exercise program.

Improving Diabetes Self-management by Providing Continuous Positive Airway Pressure Treatment to Patients With Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Type 2 Diabetes: Qualitative Exploratory Interview Study.

Background: There is a high prevalence of unexplained and unexplored obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) among patients with type 2 diabetes. The daytime symptoms of OSA include severe fatigue, cognitive problems, a decreased quality of life, and the reduced motivation to perform self-care. These symptoms impair the management of both diabetes and daily life.

Exploring the contextual transition from spinal cord injury rehabilitation to the home environment: a qualitative study.

Study Design: Explorative qualitative study based on an interpretative phenomenological approach.

Objectives: This study explored the possibility of transferring knowledge and skills from a spinal cord injury (SCI) unit to the home environment; the individual and structural factors that potentially influenced this transfer; and its compatibility with a meaningful everyday life.

Setting: Hospital-based rehabilitation unit and community in Denmark.
