Thick description of qualitative findings is critical to improving the transferability research as it allows researchers assess their applicability other contexts and settings. However, what thick entails how should be carried out often missing or insufficiently described. While expert may familiar with concept, wide variety meanings interpretations in literature make difficult for novice understand this concept when reporting findings. The purpose paper propose “MIRACLE” narrative framework...

The burden is high in caregivers of heart failure patients, but the literature on patient and caregiver predictors inconsistent. Also, it unknown if contribution to self-care maintenance (i.e. helping patients maintain stable) management act case worsening) increases burden.To identify failure; evaluate burden.A cross-sectional study with enrolment 505 patients. We used inventory index. analysed data using hierarchical regression.Heart caregivers, mostly women (52.5%), a mean age 56.5...

Caregiver contribution to heart failure (HF) self-care maintenance and management is important in HF care.

Patients were 18 years or older, diagnosis in New York Heart Association classes II IV, who had insufficient did not have...

Abstract Clinicians and researchers need valid reliable instruments to evaluate heart failure (HF) self‐care. The Self‐Care of Heart Failure Index (SCHFI) is a theoretically driven instrument developed for this purpose. SCHFI measures self‐care with three scales: maintenance, measuring behaviors maintain HF stability; symptom perception, monitoring behaviors; management, assessing the response symptoms. After theory underpinning was updated, updated version 7.2 but it only tested in United...

When publishing qualitative research in international journals, researchers studying non-English-speaking participants provide quotes English language. This is an issue of increasing concern given the need to be rigorous represent a diversity within their context, beyond how language (alone) situates them.To argue for providing and native reports.Discussion.This paper based on literature use translation authors' experiences research.Provision may allow greater transparency findings, thereby...

In recent years, the increase in textual data production has meant that researchers require faster text analysis techniques and software to reliably produce knowledge for scientific-nursing community. Automatic opens frontiers a new research area combining depth of typical qualitative stability measurements required quantitative studies. Thanks statistical-computational approach, it proposes study more or less extensive written texts produced natural language reveal lexical linguistic worlds...
