Women with recurrent ovarian cancer endure their disease by finding solace in the hope of recovery. How can nurses provide consolation?

A study shows that most home care services in Nordland, Sogn og Fjordane and Østfold counties perform a wide range of laboratory services.

The out-of-hours doctor did not receive formal patient information in at least half of the doctor’s visits to nursing homes in Oslo. This may subject the patients to inappropriate treatment and unnecessary hospitalisation.

Healthcare personnel who interact with patients and their families can learn from the families’ experiences when a loved one is affected by dementia.

Normalisation Process Theory can be used to assess the prerequisites for ensuring that a new intervention becomes established practice.

The study’s informants were particularly apprehensive about critical emergencies and unsure how to use medical equipment such as bag valve masks.

Healthcare personnel, the police and the fire and rescue service, as well as voluntary groups, felt that they were supported by management, worked well together and shared a sense of pride in their efforts.

Nurses, social educators and pharmacists have reached a consensus on 77 standards for best practice in medication management in the nursing and care service.
