Abstract:
Introduction: Patient participation is important for improving outcomes and respecting selfdetermination and legal aspects in care. Heart failure is a chronic condition that puts high demands on self-care and patient participation. Patients often need advanced care due to deterioration of their heart failure symptoms, and one option is to provide care as home-care. There is limited knowledge of how patients with heart failure and their partners view participation in home-care. Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to describe different perspectives of participation in structured heart failur

Abstract:
Background: Having the support of a partner is essential for both health related quality of life and survival in heart failure patients. However, caring for a patient with heart failure may affect the health related quality of life, well‐being and cause a burden for the partner. The partner is expected to be responsible for the care, which may have consequences for the heart failure patient’s long‐term health and well‐being. Further research to determine health related quality of life, well‐being, caregiver burden and needs of partners is warranted as well as studies evaluating interventions t

Abstract:
Patient-centred care has been recognised internationally as a way patients can participate in their nursing care to potentially improve their safety, yet widespread understanding of patient participation and ways to promote it is lacking. Further, nurses’ behaviours sometimes conflict with their reported support for patient participation. The aim of this study was to understand patient participation in nursing care in medical wards and the barriers to and facilitators of patient participation. This study was a focused ethnography.

Febrile neutropenia is a potentially life-threatening oncologic emergency characterized by a dangerously low neutrophil count that places the patient at great risk.
