Validity of a smartwatch for detecting atrial fibrillation in patients after heart valve surgery: a prospective observational study.

Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common early arrhythmia after heart valve surgery that limits physical activity. We aimed to evaluate the criterion validity of the Apple Watch Series 5 single-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) for detecting AF in patients after heart valve surgery.

Design: We enrolled 105 patients from the University Hospital of North Norway, of whom 93 completed the study.

What motivates public collaborators to become and stay involved in health research?

Background: People with lived experience of health and illness are increasingly being involved in research. Knowing what creates interest in becoming involved in health research may help identify appropriate ways of facilitating meaningful involvement. The study aimed to investigate why people became public collaborators in health research and what helped sustain their commitment to staying involved.

In need of percutaneous coronary intervention in an arctic setting- patients' experience of safety and quality of care: a qualitative study.

Patients with coronary heart disease need timely treatment for survival and optimum prognosis. There is limited research exploring patients' experience regarding distance to percutaneous coronary intervention. The aim was to explore patients' experiences of aspects contributing to safety and quality of care regarding health services following percutaneous coronary intervention in Northern Norway.

Patient and public involvement in health research from researchers' perspective.

Background: Patient and public involvement (PPI) is increasingly considered an integral part of health research, and the focus has shifted from why we need PPI to how users can be involved in a meaningful way. The rationale for investigating experiences with PPI from the perspective of occupational therapy (OT)-trained researchers' originates in the interrelationship between the inclusive approach to knowledge production, and participation and inclusion as core tenets of OT. The aim of this study was to explore PPI in health research from the perspective of OT-trained researchers.
