Fostering self-care behaviours through symptom diary use? An exploratory, cross-sectional study about the use of and attitude towards a symptom diary of patients with heart failure
Using health diaries is associated with improved outcomes in patients with heart failure. However, heart failure patients’ attitudes towards using a diary have not been investigated so far. The aim of this study was to investigate heart failure patients’ attitudes towards and the factors influencing diary use. Patients who took part in an educational session to foster self-care behaviours, during which they were given a diary, were asked to participate in this explorative, cross-sectional survey study. The survey took place at least six months after the educational session. Over half of the 53 participants (52....

Exercising the nursing imagination: putting values and scholarship back into research
The number of published nursing research papers has increased exponentially over the past 20 years, partly due to the pressures placed on academics by universities to ‘publish or perish’. Nursing research has become an end in itself, largely divorced from the aims of theory building and practice development, and research findings are accumulating at an alarming and unwieldy rate. This discussion paper explores some of the possible reasons for this shift in the focus of the academic role and calls for a return to scholarship and a far broader understanding of the purpose and practice of research as a form of int...

Cyber nursing: a conceptual framework
There have been few attempts to express in words and conceptualise ‘the Internet’ and ‘health’ within a framework. The aim of this study was to present a conceptual framework concerning virtual self-care and online caring. The results show that the concepts of virtual communities, virtual self-care and torrenting frame these very specific interactions and environments and that the concepts of ‘keyboard cowboy’ ‘cyber aid’ and ‘health-interests trader’ stipulate different ways in which to express expertise in cyber nursing. Alongside cyber bullying, cyber nursing i...

Coping with increased managerial tasks: tensions and dilemmas in nursing leadership
The present study explores how increased managerial tasks affect nursing leadership in Norwegian nursing homes. Responding to New Public Management reforms, increased managerial tasks have been implemented by Norwegian central government into public nursing homes. Even though nursing leadership plays a key role in implementing managerial tasks, it is still unclear how nurses describe the influence of increased managerial tasks in nursing leadership. This was a qualitative study, including 100 hours of observations and 18 semi-structured interviews of nurses holding various positions in three public nursing homes. Thematic ...
