Beyond objective measurements: Danish nurses' identification of hospitalized pediatric patients at risk of clinical deterioration - A qualitative study.

Purpose: While the use of Pediatric Track and Trigger Tools as a standard to discriminate high level of urgency in pediatric care has received considerable attention, less focus has been given to other important factors such as nurses' clinical observations and judgement. The purpose of this study was to explore nurses' observational practice and focus on which non-measurable signs and symptoms nurses find important when identifying inpatient pediatric patients at risk of clinical deterioration.

Design And Methods: This was an inductive qualitative study based on an interpretive description methodology.

Multiple perspectives and dialogue in understanding experiences of living with eating disorders: Two narratives-four unpackings.

Background: This is a response to Conti et al.'s article, "Listening in the dark: why we need stories of people living with severe and enduring anorexia nervosa" (published in JED, 2016), and its call for relational metaphors and a relational approach to supplement the traditional medical/psychological diagnostic language used to describe the life experiences and complex emotions of people affected by an eating disorder.
