Effects of medication management in geriatric patients who have fallen: results of the EMMA mixed-methods study.

Background: comprehensive medication management (CMM) can reduce medication-related risks of falling. However, knowledge about inter-individual treatment effects and patient-related barriers remains scarce.

Objective: to gain in-depth insights into how geriatric patients who have fallen view their medication-related risks of falling and to identify effects and barriers of a CMM in preventing falls.

'The last bridge'- How patients experience the CAR T-cell therapy. A qualitative study.

Purpose: CAR T-cell therapy gives patients new hope, who are diagnosed with relapsed or refractory B-cell lymphoma or B-cell leukaemia. To date, there is no scientific knowledge about the experiences of patients with CAR T-cell therapy, their process of treatment decision making or how they handle potential side effects. The study aims at deepening the understanding of the patient's experiences, indicating how to improve nursing care for this patient population.

Avatar and virtual agent-assisted telecare for patients in their homes: A scoping review.

Introduction: Telecare can be an effective way to deliver healthcare to patients' homes. Avatar or virtual agent-equipped technologies have the potential to increase user engagement and adherence to telecare. This study aimed to identify telecare interventions assisted by avatars/virtual agents, reflect the concepts of telecare and give an overview on its outcomes.

[Nurses' common experiences of old age and intensive care: A qualitative study].

Nurses' common experiences of old age and intensive care: A qualitative study Increasingly more people in the 80+ age group are receiving treatment in the ICU-setting. The related critical care nurses' experience has been the subject of very few studies. To better understand the everyday nursing practice in the care of old patients in the ICU setting, the knowledge of critical care nurses that guides their actions will be examined and presented in terms of their orientations and typologies.

Patient perspectives on, and effects of, medication management in geriatric fallers (the EMMA study): protocol for a mixed-methods pre-post study.

Introduction: Pharmacotherapy is critical in geriatric fallers owing to the vulnerability of this population. Comprehensive medication management can be an important strategy to reduce the medication-related risk of falling in this patient group. Patient-specific approaches and patient-related barriers to this intervention have rarely been explored among geriatric fallers.
