Living with a chronic hematological malignancy: Perspectives on PRO-based management of symptoms.

Purpose: To explore study participants' experiences with chronic hematologic malignancies and their perspectives on symptom management based on patient-reported outcomes during follow-up care.

Methods: This qualitative descriptive study used semi-structured telephone interviews conducted from May 2022 to February 2023. A purposeful sample was recruited, with participants invited consecutively.

Effect of non-pharmacological interventions on symptoms and quality of life in patients with hematological malignancies - A systematic review.

Background: Non-pharmacological interventions have the potential to enhance health-related quality of life (HRQoL) through symptom management. This systematic review aims to identify, collate, and assess randomized controlled trials investigating the effect of non-pharmacological interventions on symptoms and HRQoL within hematology.

Methods: MEDLINE/PUBMED, EMBASE, CINAHL, PSYCINFO and COCHRANE were searched up to April 2021.

Patient and public involvement in Nordic healthcare research: a scoping review of contemporary practice.

Background: Over the past decades, there has been a growing international interest in user involvement in healthcare research. However, evidence on the management and impact of patient and public involvement in Nordic healthcare research remains limited.

Objective: The aim was to explore and delineate the current state, practice, and impact of patient and public involvement in healthcare research across different areas of healthcare and patient populations in the Nordic countries.

Reduced Need for Urinary Bladder Catheterization in the Postanesthesia Care Unit After Implementation of an Evidence-based Protocol: A Prospective Cohort Comparison Study.

Background: Postoperative urinary retention (POUR) is a known complication in the postanesthesia care unit (PACU). The variations in catheterization thresholds contribute to unnecessary invasive procedures.

Objective: In the current study, we implemented an algorithm for a sterile intermittent catheterization (SIC) threshold of 800 ml with volume-dependent bladder scan intervals and compared the incidence of SIC with that of a matched patient cohort threshold of 400 ml.
