Public health nurses' experiences following up children with overweight and obesity according to national guidelines. A qualitative study

Family caregiver experiences and needs across health conditions, relationships, and the lifespan: a Qualitative analysis
CONCLUSIONS: These findings emphasize that many elements of the caregiving experience transcend care recipient age, condition, and relationship and are applicable to clinicians, researchers, and policy makers. The evidence of shared caregiver experiences can guide efficiencies in policy and practice (e.g., pooling of existing resources, expansion of interventions) to meet the needs of a broader population of caregivers.PMID:38213230 | PMC:PMC10791097 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2023.2296694 (Source: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being)

Exploring older migrants' meaning-making of 'happiness': " The main thing is health. Young people might say otherwise." 
CONCLUSIONS: Participants' meaning-making of happiness seems strongly imbued with age-related references. On the contrary, the impact of migration background is rather limited. To explain this difference, the value of incorporating participants' life course experiences emerged.PMID:38184797 | PMC:PMC10773646 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2023.2300873 (Source: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being)

Coming home: older patients' and their relatives' experiences of well-being in the transition from hospital to home after early discharge
CONCLUSION: Our findings point to the importance of recognizing the vulnerability associated with the transition from hospital to home, as it impacts the existential aspects of space and time.

An uncertain uphill battle - experiences and consequences of living with lipedema
CONCLUSIONS: Symptoms and restrictions caused by lipedema affect women's livelihood and future, as there are no indications for disease improvement. Preventive work aimed at reducing health deterioration should be a priority. More research is needed to raise healthcare awareness regarding difficulties experienced by patients with lipedema.PMID:38159285 | PMC:PMC10763886 | DOI:10.1080/17482631.2023.2300152 (Source: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being)
