    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Head and neck cancer; public health; health promotion; empowerment; qualitative methods; everyday living; nursing; Huvud-halscancer; folkhälsa; hälsofrämjande; egenmakt; kvalitativa metoder; levda erfarenheter; omvårdnad; Public health science; Folkhälsovetenskap;

    Abstract : Background and aim: In society there is a growing awareness that a vital factor for patientswith chronic diseases, such as head and neck cancer (HNC), is how well they are able to function in their every day lives – a common, but often overlooked, public health issue. The overall aim of this thesis is to reach a deeper understanding of living with HNC and to identify the experiences that patients felt promoted their health and well-being. READ MORE

  4. 7. Patient and relative perspective regarding quality in hospital care for older people : Theory and Methods

    Author : Barbro Krevers; Britt-Inger Saveman; Linköpings universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; patient perspective; older patients; relatives; quality of care; hospital care; POCR; process perspective; continuous quality improvement;

    Abstract : Although the elderly population consumes a relatively large proportion of health care, international research has focused little attention on older people and their perception of health care and its outcome. Information is also scanty concerning relatives in hospital care and their actions and the circumstances related to relatives' participation in the care process. READ MORE
