Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze the quality of nurse-patient interactions during the early COVID-19 pandemic in both acute and home care settings.
- The research involved a survey with 443 nurses and 295 patients, using the Individualized Care Scale to measure perceptions of care individuality, with nurses rating their own support of patient individuality significantly higher than patients did.
- Findings showed that while both groups recognized the importance of individualized care, nurses in home care settings reported better support for individuality than those in acute care environments.
Aims: Caution around the COVID-19 pandemic resulted in visitation restrictions to prevent the spread of the virus among vulnerable older persons living in long-term care (LTC), which posed a threat to individual well-being and family togetherness across the globe. The purpose of this study was to explore family caregiver's experience of having a person who is living with dementia residing in a long-term care facility during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Design: Qualitative descriptive study using constructivist grounded theory (GT) methodology.
Article Synopsis
- - The paper discusses the importance of intervention and implementation fidelity in healthcare research, emphasizing that strict adherence to core components of interventions is crucial for meaningful evaluation of outcomes.
- - It highlights the need for flexibility in defining fidelity, as varying contexts and implementation strategies require researchers to adapt their approaches while ensuring that fidelity criteria are transparent and context-dependent.
- - The authors argue that fidelity assessments should consider not just individual behaviors, but also organizational and system factors, further complicating the evaluation process and necessitating a deeper understanding of fidelity concepts.

Implementation success is strongly influenced by environmental factors. The comprehensive implementation of complex interventions therefore needs a deliberate and systematic implementation process, including its evaluation.
