To explore the psychosocial experiences during dietary management among Chinese adults with inflammatory bowel disease.
Qualitative phenomenological design.
Eighteen adults diagnosed with inflammatory bowel disease for more than 6 months were recruited using purposive sampling from June to December 2023. Two trained researchers used van Manen's approach to analyse the data.
The three themes with multiple subthemes emerged: facing the unknown: at a loss and aggrieved, trying to cope: uncertain and distressed, and growing in adaptation: relieved and transcendent. The first theme included unknown relapses, overlooking diet management and the absence of dietary rules. The second theme showed different coping situations, like complex dietary information and ever-closing worlds. The third theme explores how participants adapted to disease and their eating patterns.
The psychosocial experiences during dietary management are complex. The accumulation of diet-related experience, acceptance of illness and social support facilitate patients in overcoming negative emotions and adhering to dietary management.
Nurses should provide tailored dietary guidance and appropriate psychological interventions to promote healthy eating in patients.
This study may enhance healthcare professionals' understanding, particularly those in China, of the diet-related experiences among patients.
The Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research checklist.
Participants contributed by sharing their first hand experiences.
To explore intensive care nurses' (ICN) perceptions of simulation-based learning (SBL).
A systematic review and meta-synthesis.
The review followed the PRISMA guidelines for reporting a systematic review. A systematic search strategy was developed using a modified PICo framework. A comprehensive search was conducted in July 2023 in CINAHL, OVID Embase, Medline complete, Web of Science, ERIC and Scopus databases for articles published in English between 2013 and 2023. Data were extracted using the Joanna Briggs Institute QARI Data Extraction, with data synthesis guided by Braun and Clark's thematic analysis approach. Quality appraisal was assessed using the CASP tool.
Eleven studies providing qualitative data were included for analysis. Analysis and meta-synthesis led to the construction of two themes: The learning experience and professional growth through collaboration.
The review highlights the balance needed in finding the appropriate simulation approach, with the right level of fidelity, conducted at appropriately regular intervals, incorporating the correct makeup of professional team members, conducted in the right environment and facilitated by a skilled facilitator, to ensure best outcomes and return on investment for ICN's education.
These findings are a valuable resource for educators and organisations considering simulation-based learning initiatives in the intensive care setting.
This review involved analysis of existing literature and as such no unique patient or public involvement occurred.
The systematic review followed the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) reporting guidelines.
