[Serious game, a new approach for advance care planning with dialysis patients].

Due to the high morbidity and mortality with limited life expectancy of dialysis patients, it is essential to implement advance care planning in order to know patients' values and care preferences and respect their autonomy. However, advance care planning is rarely carried out, due to the difficulties in initiating end-of-life discussions, both by patients and healthcare professionals. The use of "serious games" in the form of card games has shown promise in supporting the implementation of advance care planning.

Venous leg ulcer recurrences - The relationship to self-efficacy, social support and quality of life - A mixed method study.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore the occurrence of venous leg ulcer recurrence and the relationship with self-efficacy, social support and quality of life. Furthermore, we investigated the lived experiences of those patients and their understanding of why they developed a recurrence.

Design: We used a convergent parallel mixed method design consisting of a cohort and an interpretative phenomenological study arm.

Nurse-led patient-centred intervention to increase written advance directives for outpatients in early-stage palliative care: study protocol for a randomised controlled trial with an embedded explanatory qualitative study.

Introduction: Discussing the evolution of life-threatening diseases and end-of-life issues remains difficult for patients, relatives and professionals. Helping people discuss and formalise their preferences in end-of-life care, as planned in the Go Wish intervention, could reduce health-related anxiety in the advance care planning (ACP) and advance directive (AD) process. The aims of this study are (1) to test the effectiveness of the Go Wish intervention among outpatients in early-stage palliative care and (2) to understand the role of defence mechanisms in end-of-life discussions among nurses, patients and relatives.

Perceptions of inpatients and nurses towards the importance of nurses' caring behaviours in rehabilitation: A comparative study.

Aims: This study was conducted to describe and compare nurses' and inpatients' perceptions of caring attitudes and behaviours in rehabilitation.

Methods: A comparative descriptive design was used. Perceptions of caring attitudes and behaviours were compared between 34 nurses working in rehabilitation and 64 elderly patients, using the Caring Nurse Patient Inventory-23, to explore Watson's carative factors through four dimensions.

The lived experience of recurrence prevention in patients with venous leg ulcers: An interpretative phenomenological study.

Aim Of The Study: To explore patient understanding of why they develop a venous leg ulcer and how they can prevent recurrence.

Method: The methodological framework of the hermeneutic phenomenological approach was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seventeen participants living with a venous leg ulcer from May 2017 to November 2018.
