  Background There are a substantial number of children who are the next of kin of parents suffering from illness or substance abuse. These children can experience emotional and behavioral problems and may need support from professionals. In Norway, the specialist health service in hospitals is required to have a designated practitioner in each department to ensure support for and follow up of children who are next of kin; however, this is not regulated by law in the health care in the municipalities. The aim of this study was to explore public health nurse’s experiences working with children who are next of kin. Methods Qualitative interviews were conducted with 10 public health nurses working in the child health clinic and the school health service in four municipalities. Data were analysed using content analysis. Reporting of this study is conducted in accordance to COREQ’s checklist. Results The analysis resulted in one main theme: ‘Lack of guidelines and routines among public health nurses working with children who are next of kin’. The main theme consisted of four categories: (1) identifying children who are next of kin are incidental; (2) public health nurses must be observant and willing to act; (3) communication is an important tool; and (4) follow up over time is not always provided. Conclusion The public health nurses experienced uncertainty concerning how to identify and follow up children who are next of kin but were vigilant and willing to act in the children’s best interest. Doing so necessitated collaboration with other professionals. The need for guidelines around the role and responsibilities for the public health nurse were emphasized. The knowledge provided by the current study offers valuable insight into strengths and limitations in the support of children who are next of kin and can inform stakeholders in organizing sustainable support for this group.

  Background: The wish to be cared for and to die at home is common among people with end‑stage cancer in the western world. However, home deaths are declining in many countries. The aim of this study was to explore the preferences for home care over time to enable home death among adult patients with cancer in the late palliative phase. Methods: A qualitative method was applied according to grounded theory (Corbin & Strauss, 2008). Data was collected using individual interviews (n= 15) with nine adult patients. One to two follow up interviews were conducted with four patients. Sampling, data collection and constant comparative analysis were undertaken simultaneously. Results: The findings are presented as a conceptual model of patients’ preferences for care to enable home death. The core category “Hope and trust to get the care I need to die at home” showed that the preference to die at home seemed stable over time and did not change with deterioration in health status and progression in illness. Five categories were related to the core category. The categories “being in the present”, “be safe and in charge” and “be seen and acknowledged” describe the patients’ preferences to live a meaningful life until death and be the same person as always. These preferences depended on the categories describing characteristics of healthcare personnel and the organisation of care: “reliable, compassionate and competent healthcare personnel” and “timely, predictive, continuous and adaptive organisation”. Conclusion: An important preference over time was to be here and now and to live as meaningful a life as possible until death. Moreover, the patients preferred to retain control over their lives, to be autonomous and to be seen as the person they had always been. To achieve this, person‑centred care provided by healthcare personnel with competence, skills and enough/ample time were required. In addition, home care needed to be organised in a way that ensured continuity and predictability. Systematic implementation of a person‑centred care model and the use of advanced home care plans with continued re‑evaluation for patients’ preferences of home care were proposed measures to enable home death.

  Introduction Children who are next-of-kin, for a parent who experience illness or disability, need support. In Norway, guidelines, routines and structured approaches in the community health services are lacking regarding involving children in the care of a parent and for services when supporting children as next-of-kin. Additionally, no existing international review has focused on support from community health and social services for children who are next-of-kin to a parent regardless of the specific illness or disability. Aims This scoping review examined the current knowledge regarding the types of community health and social services support to children 0 to 17 years old living with a parent experiencing illness or disability. The review also identified children’s support preferences and needs. Methods The scoping review involved five stages; identifying research question; identifying relevant articles; selecting articles; charting the data and finally, collating, summarizing and reporting the results. Results Articles which included community health and social services interventions and children’s preferences or needs for support were included. The foci of interventions included preventive education, peer support, psychosocial support, and interventions focusing on family communication and recovery planning. Articles focusing on children’s preferences or need for support described their wish to be recognized as a next-of-kin, having someone to talk to and professional and peer support. Conclusion The review highlighted the importance of children receiving support according to their preferences. It is important to elicit children’s voices, to ensure community health and social services are developed for and tailored to this population.

  Purpose: Patients’ views on quality are important to improve person-centered palliative care. There is a lack of short, validated instruments incorporating patients’ perspectives of the multidisciplinary palliative care services. The aim of this study was to develop a short form of the instrument Quality from the Patient’s Perspective for Palliative Care (QPP-PC) and to describe and compare patients’ perceptions of the subjective importance (SI) of care aspects and their perceptions of care received (PR). Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Norway including 128 patients (67% response rate) in four palliative care contexts. The QPP-PC, based on a person-centered theoretical framework, incorporating the multidisciplinary palliative care, comprises 4 dimensions; medical–technical competence, physical–technical conditions, identity-oriented approach and sociocultural atmosphere, 12 factors (49 items) and 3 single items. The instrument measures SI and PR. Development of the short form of the QPP-PC was inspired by previously published methodological guidelines. Descriptive statistics, paired t-tests, confirmatory factor analysis and Cronbach’s α were used. Results: The short form of QPP-PC consists of 4 dimensions, 20 items and 4 single items. Psychometric evaluation showed a root-mean-square error of approximation (RMSEA) value of 0.109 (SI). Cronbach’s α values ranged between 0.64 and 0.85 for most dimensions on SI scales. Scores on SI and PR scales were mostly high. Significantly higher scores for SI than PR were present for the identity-oriented approach dimension, especially on items about information. Conclusion: RMSEA value was slightly above the recommended level. Cronbach’s α was acceptable for most dimensions. The short form of QPP-PC shows promising results and may be used with caution as an indicator of person-centered patient-reported experience measures evaluating the multidisciplinary palliative care for patients in a late palliative phase. However, the short version of QPP-PC needs to be further validated using new samples of patients.

  Bakgrunn: Det er økende interesse for å undersøke om Virtual Reality (VR) er egnet som avledning eller distraksjonsterapi ved smerter. Hovedmålet med denne studien var 1) å innhente praktiske erfaringer med tilrettelegging og bruk av VR i en sykehusavdeling, 2) å undersøke hvordan pasienter opplevde VR-tilbudet, og om VR-opplevelsen påvirket pasientens smerteopplevelse. Metode: Studien har et kvalitativt, beskrivende forskningsdesign, og ble gjennomført i to trinn. Det første trinnet (1) beskriver innhenting av forskernes praktiske erfaringer med utprøving av teknisk utstyr og virtuelt miljø i en sykehusavdeling. Det andre trinnet (2) beskriver innhenting av erfaringer med et tilbud om VR fra pasienter ved en ortopedisk avdeling. Utvalget her var syv smertepåvirkede postoperative pasienter. Datamaterialet ble analysert ved hjelp av innholdsanalyse. Resultater: Trinn 1) HTC Vive VR og VR-filmen the Blu fra Wevr ble valgt for videre utprøving på pasientene. Trinn 2): Følgende fire hovedkategorier beskrev pasientenes opplevelse med VR: Positiv sanseopplevelse;- en mental og kroppslig velvære som varte i flere timer. Smerteopplevelse under VR;- pasientene opplevde at VR gav smertelindring. Erfaring med kvalme eller ubehag;- VR-opplevelsen ga ikke kvalme og ubehag. Egenskaper ved VR-miljøet;- filmen opplevdes som interessant og beroligende, og gav en altoppslukende opplevelse av å være i en annen verden. Konklusjon: Pilotutprøvingen viser at VR kan se ut til å være et ikke-medikamentelt alternativ som sykepleiere kan tilby pasienter med postoperative smerter. Selv om denne studien viser lovende resultater, må VR videre testes ut i større intervensjonsstudier på ulike pasientgrupper og pasientsituasjoner. Det er også behov for å finne og utprøve mer brukervennlig utstyr. Nøkkelord: distraksjon, kvalitativ studie, pasient-opplevelser, smertelindring, voksen

  Purpose: Palliative care services are multidisciplinary, and the quality needs to be evaluated from the patients’ perspectives. The aim was to explore the patient profiles in palliative care with respect to patients’ perception of the quality of palliative care received and patient satisfaction, and to describe and compare person-related and organization-related conditions that characterize the patient profiles. Patients and methods: A cross-sectional study, including 140 patients from four different multidisciplinary palliative care contexts in Norway, was conducted in 2014. The Quality from the Patient’s Perspective questionnaire for Palliative Care, which is based upon a person-centered theoretical model, was used. Satisfaction was measured by the Emotional Stress Reaction questionnaire. Person- and organization-related conditions were measured. Hierarchical cluster analysis, ANOVA, Pearson Chi-Square Test and ANCOVA were used. Results: Three unique patient clusters with different patterns of perceptions of quality of care and satisfaction were identified; Cluster 1 (41%) had the best perception of care quality and were more satisfied, Cluster 2 (34%) had better perceptions of care quality and were most satisfied and Cluster 3 (25%) had worst perceptions of care quality and were less satisfied. The clusters were characterized by person-related conditions (eg, patients’ sense of coherence and perceptions of subjective importance of the quality) as well as organization-related conditions (eg, physicians’ competence and type of care services). Conclusion: The results can be used by multidisciplinary healthcare personnel to tailor quality work and improve person-centered care in palliative care contexts. Improvement initiatives should focus on implementing a person-centered approach, increasing the palliative care competence of the personnel and facilitate specialized palliative care services in the homecare context.

  Little is known about the combination of person- and organization- related conditions and the relationships with patients’ perspectives of care quality. Such a combination could contribute knowledge reflecting the complexity of clinical practice, and enhance individualized care. The aim was to investigate the relationships between the combination of person- and organization-related conditions and patients’ perceptions of palliative care quality. Methods A cross-sectional study, including 191 patients in the late palliative phase (73% response rate) admitted to hospice inpatient care (n = 72), hospice day care (n = 51), palliative units in nursing homes (n = 30) and home care (n = 38), was conducted between November 2013 and December 2014, using the instrument Quality from the Patients’ Perspective specific to palliative care (QPP-PC). Data were analysed, using analysis of covariance, to explore the amount of the variance in the dependent variables (QPP-PC) that could be explained by combination of the independent variables – Person- and organization-related conditions, − while controlling for differences in covariates. Results Patients scored the care received and the subjective importance as moderate to high. The combination of person- and organization - related conditions revealed that patients with a high sense of coherence, lower age (person – related conditions) and being in a ward with access to and availability of physicians (organization-related condition) might be associated with significantly higher scores for the quality of care received. Gender (women), daily contact with family and friends, and low health-related quality of life (person-related conditions) might be associated with higher scores for subjective importance of the aspects of care quality. Conclusion Healthcare personnel, leaders and policy makers need to pay attention to person- and organization-related conditions in order to provide person-centered palliative care of high quality. Further studies from palliative care contexts are needed to confirm the findings and to investigate additional organizational factors that might influence patients’ perceptions of care quality.

  Background: Patients’ perceptions of care quality within and across settings are important for the further development of palliative care. The aim was to investigate patients’ perceptions of palliative care quality within settings, including perceptions of care received and their subjective importance, and contrast palliative care quality across settings. Method: A cross-sectional study including 191 patients in late palliative phase (73 % response rate) admitted to hospice inpatient care, hospice day care, palliative units in nursing homes, and home care was conducted, using the Quality from the Patients’ Perspective instrument-palliative care (QPP-PC). QPP-PC comprises four dimensions and 12 factors; “medical–technical competence” (MT) (2 factors), “physical–technical conditions” (PT) (one factor), “identity–orientation approach” (ID) (4 factors), “sociocultural atmosphere” (SC) (5 factors), and three single items (S); medical care, personal hygiene and atmosphere. Data were analysed using paired-samples t-test and analysis of covariance while controlling for differences in patient characteristics. Results: Patients’ perceptions of care received within settings showed high scores for the factors and single items “honesty” (ID) and “atmosphere” (S) in all settings and low scores for “exhaustion” (MT) in three out of four settings. Patients’ perceptions of importance scored high for “medical care” (S), “honesty” (ID), “respect and empathy” (ID) and “atmosphere” (S) in all settings. No aspects of care scored low in all settings. Importance scored higher than perceptions of care received, in particular for receiving information. Patients’ perceptions of care across settings differed, with highest scores in hospice inpatient care for the dimensions; ID, SC, and “medical care” (S), the SC and “atmosphere” (S) for hospice day care, and “medical care” (S) for palliative units in nursing homes. There were no differences in subjective importance across settings. Conclusion: Strengths of services related to identity–orientation approach and a pleasant and safe atmosphere. Key areas for improvement related to receiving information. Perceptions of subjective importance did not differ across settings, but perceptions of care received scored higher in more care areas for hospice inpatient care, than in other settings. Further studies are needed to support these findings, to investigate why perceptions of care differ across settings and to highlight what can be learned from settings receiving high scores.

  Background: Instruments specific to palliative care tend to measure care quality from relative perspectives or have insufficient theoretical foundation. The instrument Quality from the Patient’s Perspective (QPP) is based on a model for care quality derived from patients’ perceptions of care, although it has not been psychometrically evaluated for use in palliative care. The aim of this study was to adapt the QPP for use in palliative care contexts, and to describe patients’ perceptions of the care quality in terms of the subjective importance of the care aspects and the perceptions of the care received. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted between November 2013 and December 2014 which included 191 patients (73 % response rate) in late palliative phase at hospice inpatient units, hospice day-care units, wards in nursing homes that specialized in palliative care and homecare districts, all in Norway. An explorative factor analysis using principal component analysis, including data from 184 patients, was performed for psychometric evaluation. Internal consistency was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha and paired t-tests were used to describe patients’ perceptions of their care. Results: The QPP instrument was adapted for palliative care in four steps: (1) selecting items from the QPP, (2) modifying items and (3) constructing new items to the palliative care setting, and (4) a pilot evaluation. QPP instrument specific to palliative care (QPP-PC) consists of 51 items and 12 factors with an eigenvalue ≥1.0, and showed a stable factor solution that explained 68.25 % of the total variance. The reliability coefficients were acceptable for most factors (0.79–0.96). Patients scored most aspects of care related to both subjective importance and actual care received as high. Areas for improvement were symptom relief, participation, continuity, and planning and cooperation. Conclusion: The QPP-PC is based on a theoretical model of quality of care, and has its roots in patients’ perspectives. The instrument was developed and psychometrically evaluated in a sample of Norwegian patients with various diagnoses receiving palliative care in different care contexts. The evaluation of the QPP-PC shows promising results, although it needs to be further validated and tested in other contexts and countries

  Background: It is necessary to develop palliative care to meet existing and future needs of patients and their families. It is important to include knowledge of patient preferences when developing high-quality palliative care services. Previous reviews have focused on patient preferences with regard to specific components of palliative care. There is a need to review research on patient’s combined preferences for all elements that constitute palliative care. Aim: The aim of this study is to identify preferences for palliative care among patients in the palliative phase of their illness, by synthesizing existing research. Data sources: Studies were retrieved by searching databases – the Cochrane Library, Medline, CINAHL, PsycINFO, Scopus and Sociological Abstracts – from 1946 to 2014, and by hand searching references in the studies included. Design: A systematic mixed studies review was conducted. Two reviewers independently selected studies for inclusion and extracted data according to the eligibility criteria. Data were synthesized using integrative thematic analysis. Results: The 13 qualitative and 10 quantitative studies identified included participants with different illnesses in various settings. Four themes emerged representing patient preferences for care. The theme ‘Living a meaningful life’ illustrated what patients strived for. The opportunity to focus on living required the presence of ‘Responsive healthcare personnel’, a ‘Responsive care environment’ and ‘Responsiveness in the organization of palliative care’. Conclusion: The four themes may be useful for guiding clinical practice and measurements of quality, with the overall goal of meeting future needs and improving quality in palliative care services to suit patients’ preferences.

  På bakgrunn av en felles oppfattelse av at Høgskolen i Hedmark mangler et godt system til å sikre opplæring, veiledning og oppfølging av nytilsatte ? med spesielt fokus på det pedagogiske området ? har vi undersøkt høgskolens muligheter for bedre å kunne tilrettelegge dette. Følgende problemstilling ble utformet: Hvordan kan Høgskolen i Hedmark legge til rette for at nytilsatte blir kjent med sin pedagogiske funksjon og sitt pedagogiske ansvar? I denne forbindelse ble det sett på eksisterende introduksjonstiltak ved Institutt for Lærerutdanning og Naturfag (LUNA) og ved Institutt for Sykepleie Avdeling Helse og Idrett (HI) samt foretatt en spørreundersøkelse blant 15 nytilsatte ? som til sammen representerer 6 forskjellige institutter ved LUNA og HI. Undersøkelsens resultat viste at det er svært ulik praksis ved høgskolen når det gjelder introduksjonstiltak og at de fleste lærere mener at god oppfølging i nytilsattperioden er viktig. I forkant av undersøkelsen ble det utarbeidet en liste over ulike pedagogiske tiltak til mulig nytte for nytilsatte undervisere. Reaksjonen fra et flertall av respondentene var, at samtlige tiltak ville hatt stor eller meget stor betydning. På bakgrunn av dette materialet ble det utarbeidet et forslag til et nytilsattprogram med tiltak som forhåpentlig både kan bidra til en kvalitetssikring av den enkeltes undervisning og til at den nytilsatte skal bli kjent med sin pedagogiske funksjon og sitt pedagogiske ansvar. Based on the assumption that Hedmark University College lacks a good system to assure training, supervision and follow-up of the new-employed teachers ? with particular emphasis on the educational area ? we have examined the institution?s opportunities to better adapt this. The following question was formulated: How can Hedmark University College lay the groundwork to help the new-employed teacher getting familiar with his or hers educational function and educational responsibilities? For that reason, the existing introduction material of measures by the Department of Education and Science (LUNA) and at the Department of Nursing Department of Health and Sport (HI) was examined and a survey conducted among 15 new employees ? representing 6 different departments at LUNA and HI all together. The survey results both showed a high variety in practice at the college when it comes to introducing measures and that most newemployed teachers believed that a good follow-up in the new-employee period is important. A list of various educational measures to the possible benefit of new-employed teachers was prepared in advance of the survey. A majority of the respondents agreed that all suggested measures would have been of great or the greatest significance. On the basis of this material a proposal for a new employee program with measures was prepared. Measures, which will hopefully both contribute to the quality assurance of the performance of every single teacher and that new-employed teachers will become familiar with their educational function and educational responsibilities.
