Patient perspectives of a heart failure action plan: A qualitative study
This study used a prospective, descriptive qualitative design with a content analysis approach.

Describing precisely what nurses do
AbstractNumerous important papers written by nurses and other scientists to improve nursing practice are not read by many nurses because two of the common ways authors use to describe what nurses do obscures the applicability of studies to nurses in general. Interventions (aka, procedures, skills, tasks) used and populations studied, including diseases, are less robust indicators of research results than are tests of nursing theory. Further, some of these important papers are not stored in or retrieved by accessing the Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature database. We believe many research papers by nur...

Concept analysis of the Four ‐Season‐Symphony of Intellectuality–Spirituality–Ethics–Esthetics (FSS: I SEA) in nursing research
ConclusionRichness and elegance of the symphony in nursing research cannot be achieved by a single ‐tool benchmark; rather, a more integrated assessment can be achieved with the use of a tool combining different intellectuality, spirituality, ethics, and esthetics tools. This symphony contains a philosophical and deep understanding of the meanings of researcher, research problem, research proce ss, and symphonic product. Through identifying the facilitators and barriers of this concept, nursing researchers, professors, and practitioners will be able to design and implement their research activities on FSS basis to pave t...
