مستخلص: Aim: To understand the experiences of individuals who undergo LEA due to DFU after disability. Design: A descriptive research design in qualitative research. Methods: Semi‐structured interviews were used in this qualitative descriptive study. Eleven middle‐aged patients (45–59 years) who underwent LEA due to DFU were purposively selected and interviewed. Qualitative data were thematically analysed. Results: Three themes and 10 subthemes were identified. The themes were (1) role function confusion, (2) self‐concept stress and (3) unreasonable objective support. Subthemes included (1) weakened career role, (2) family role reversal, (3) social role restriction, (4) over‐focusing on appearance, (5) immersion in patient experience, (6) living with faith, (7) polarization of independent consciousness, (8) low perceived benefits of peer support, (9) existence of treatment disruption and (10) poor participation in medical decision‐making.

مستخلص: Aim: This study assessed, if use of herbal medicine (HM) among hypertensive patients is coincidence or planned. Design: Cross‐sectional survey. Methods: The study used a cross‐sectional survey for collection of data from four (4) herbal medicine clinics in the Tamale metropolis in northern Ghana. Results: The final or overall regression model was significant at R2 = 0.350, F(7, 214) = 16.464, p < 0.001. No sociodemographic characteristic predicted herbal medicine use. Only religion and educational level were associated with herbal medicine use. Attitude (p = 0.002), subjective norms (p = 0.001) and behavioural intention (p = 0.000) significantly predicted HM use. Public contribution: Data were collected from respondents only after they had verbally given free and informed consent to take part in the study. The results of this study therefore showed that herbal medicine use among these patients is not coincidence but planned. Health professionals by this study should appreciate the effect of religion and educational background in their health education on Herbal Medicines. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

مستخلص: Aim: Communicating with conscious intubated patients who are unable to communicate verbally is one of the challenges faced by intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of a training programme for nurses regarding augmentative and alternative communication (AAC) with intubated patients using Kirkpatrick's model. Design: This study had a one‐group, before–after, quasi‐experimental design. Methods: Totally, 45 nurses working in ICUs participated in a blended training programme using AAC strategies to communicate with intubated patients. Their contribution was evaluated based on Kirkpatrick's model at four levels. The study data were collected using the "satisfaction and ease questionnaire," "observation checklist" and "communication knowledge test." Then, the data were analysed using the SPSS 22 software and p < 0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results: Most participants were satisfied with the implementation of the programme. The nurses' mean score of communication knowledge increased after the intervention (p < 0.05). The results of evaluation of the third and fourth levels of Kirkpatrick's model also showed an increase in the success of communication, use of AAC, and satisfaction with and ease of communication (p < 0.001). Implication: Short‐term and long‐term effects of the blended training programme about AAC were investigated using Kirkpatrick's model. The results indicated the positive effect of the programme on the quality of the nurses' communication with intubated patients, their understanding of the patients' messages and meeting the patients' needs at a more desirable level. Thus, nurses and other staff are recommended to use this simple method of communication with patients to provide better services. In addition, further quantitative and qualitative studies are suggested to assess these communication strategies in other patients with impaired consciousness. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
