  Aims: To perform the first psychometric analysis of the Norwegian version of the eHLQ using confirmative factor analysis (CFA) procedures in a population of patients admitted to hospital using a cross-sectional design. The eHLQ consists of 35 items capturing the 7-dimensional eHealth Literacy Framework (eHLF) which describes users’ attributes, user’s interaction with technologies and user’s experience with digital health systems. Methods: The 7 independent scales of the eHLQ was translated from Danish and culturally adapted into the Norwegian language following a standardised protocol. Assessment of construct validity of the eHLQ was undertaken using data from a cross-sectional survey of 260 patients hospitalized at a Norwegian University Hospital in the Oslo area during a two-week period in June 2021. The analysis included using correlation analysis (Pearsons R), internal consistency (Cronbach’s alpha) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Results: All factor loadings were high to acceptable (i.e. > 0.6), except for five items which had somewhat lower loadings. Regarding internal consistency, alpha ranged from 0.73 to 0.90. For optimal CFA fit for the different scale models, correlated residuals were required for five of the seven scales. Overall our analysis shows an intermediate fit of the orginal construct. Scale intercorrelations were all below 0.8, indicating an overall acceptable discriminant validity between the 7 dimensions. Conclusions: The results from the CFA analysis indicate that for almost all 7 eHLQ scales, an acceptable model fit was achieved. The 260 hospitalized patients included in this study represented a variety of diagnoses, recruited from a geographically limited area. Further studies on psychometric properties of the Norwegian version of eHLQ in larger samples, diverse settings and by using more comprehensive approaches are warranted.

  Objective To develop a co-designed health literacy (HL)-informed intervention for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) that enables them to find, understand, remember, use and communicate the health information needed to promote and maintain good health. Design This study used a co-design approach informed by the programme logic of the Ophelia (Optimising Health Literacy and Access) process. The co-design included workshops where possible solutions for an HL-informed intervention were discussed based on an HL needs assessment study. Settings Five workshops were performed in a local community setting in the specialist and municipality healthcare services in Oslo, Norway. Participants People with COPD, multidisciplinary healthcare professionals (HCPs) from the municipality and specialist healthcare services, and researchers (n=19) participated in the workshops. The co-designed HL-informed intervention was based on seven focus groups with people with COPD (n=14) and HCPs (n=21), and a cross-sectional study of people with COPD using the Health Literacy Questionnaire (n=69). Results The workshop co-design process identified 45 action points and 51 description points for possible intervention solutions to meet the HL needs of people with COPD. The final recommendation for an HL-informed intervention focused on tailored follow-up after hospitalisation, which uses motivational interviewing techniques, is based on the individual’s HL, self-management and quality of life needs and is implemented in cooperation with HCPs in both the specialist and municipality healthcare services. Conclusion During the codesign process, the workshop group generated several ideas for how to help patients find, understand, remember, use and communicate health information in order to promote and maintain good health. People with COPD need tailored follow-up based on their individual HL needs by HCPs that have knowledge of COPD and are able to motivate them for self-management tasks and help them to improve their quality of life (QOL) and decrease hospitalisation.

  Objectives The way health literacy is understood (conceptualised) should be closely linked to how it is measured (operationalised). This study aimed to gain insights into how health literacy is defined and measured in current health literacy research and to examine the relationship between health literacy definitions and instruments. Design Systematic review in accordance with the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses statement. Data sources The MEDLINE, PsycINFO, ERIC and CINAHL databases were searched for articles published during two randomly selected months (March and October) in 2019. Eligibility criteria We included articles with a quantitative design that measured health literacy, were peer-reviewed and original, were published in the English language and included a study population older than 16 years. Data extraction and synthesis Six researchers screened the articles for eligibility and extracted the data independently. All health literacy definitions and instruments were considered in relation to category 1 (describing basic reading and writing skills, disease-specific knowledge and practical skills) and category 2 (social health literacy competence and the ability to interpret and critically assess health information). The categories were inspired by Nutbeam’s descriptions of the different health literacy levels. Results 120 articles were included in the review: 60 within public health and 60 within clinical health. The majority of the articles (n=77) used instruments from category 1. In total, 79 of the studies provided a health literacy definition; of these, 71 were in category 2 and 8 were in category 1. In almost half of the studies (n=38), health literacy was defined in a broad perspective (category 2) but measured with a more narrow focus (category 1). Conclusion Due to the high degree of inconsistency between health literacy definitions and instruments in current health literacy research, there is a risk of missing important information about health literacy considered be important to the initial understanding of the concept recognised in the studies.

  Background Patients awaiting kidney transplantation need to be prepared ahead of the upcoming transplantation by developing targeted pre- and post-transplant knowledge. On this background, we designed a new health literacy intervention, including a film and a counselling session, based on motivational interviewing for dialysis patients provided by dialysis nurses. Aim To explore patients' and nurses' experiences of the feasibility and acceptability of the intervention, focusing on the patient as a prepared knowledge actor. Design An explorative qualitative study. Participants and Methods Data included in-depth interviews with nine patients and three nurses who participated in the intervention. The interviews were audiotaped and analysed following Kvale and Brinkmann's method for thematic data analysis. Findings Three main themes were identified: a different kind of health intervention stimulating new insight; a challenging kind of health conversation and changed relationships and increased security. Conclusions Both the patients and the nurses had an overall positive attitude toward the intervention, providing a kind of dialogue to prepare dialysis patients going through kidney transplantation. The nurses found the MI methodology to be challenging. When introducing a comprehensive communication method like MI, potential training and supervision needs for the nurses must be addressed.

  Objective Persons with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) require complex follow-up by healthcare professionals (HCPs) and may experience several health literacy (HL) needs. This study aimed to explore such needs in people with COPD and the HCPs who care for them. Methods From October 2016 to August 2017 a qualitative study with four focus groups (FG) were performed in people with COPD (n = 14) and three in multidisciplinary HCPs (n = 21). An inductive thematic analysis was used to investigate HL needs. Results Four HL needs emerged: 1) strengthening the feeling of security; 2) combating the burden of insufficient knowledge on COPD and lack of informational flow; 3) supporting motivation for endurance and self-management; and 4) strengthening dignity. Discussion This study highlights a gap between people with COPD who express important HL needs and HCPs’ capabilities to care for these needs. For HCPs to increase HL in such cases, HCPs need to improve their own HL. It is essential to find solutions on how to improve HL in HCPs who care for people with COPD and to increase the availability of interventions that increase HL in COPD. Education programs, health organizations, and governments should be aware of HL needs in such situations.

  Background The World Health Organization (WHO) points to health literacy as an important factor in prevention and control of non-communicable diseases (NCDs), including COPD. Objective To investigate associations between selected demographic and clinical variables, psychological well-being and health literacy. Methods Health literacy was measured using the nine domain Health Literacy Questionnaire (HLQ) and one domain from the eHealth Literacy Questionnaire (eHLQ). Using data from a cross-sectional sample of 158 people with COPD, recruited from a hospital-based patient list period (2014-2016), multiple regression analyses were performed. Results The strongest associated variables with health literacy were psychological well-being, measured by the WHO-5 well-being index and education, indicating that higher psychological well-being and educational level are associated with higher levels of health literacy. Conclusion The present study highlights the importance of specifically looking to psychological factors in determining potentially health literacy needs among people with COPD.

  Purpose Quality of life (QOL) is an important concept in the field of health and medicine. QOL is a complex concept that is interpreted and defined differently within and between disciplines, including the fields of health and medicine. The aims of this study were to systematically review the literature on QOL in medicine and health research and to describe the country of origin, target groups, instruments, design, and conceptual issues. Methods A systematic review was conducted to identify research studies on QOL and health-related quality of life (HRQOL). The databases Scopus, which includes Embase and MEDLINE, CINAHL, and PsycINFO were searched for articles published during one random week in November 2016. The ten predefined criteria of Gill and Feinstein were used to evaluate the conceptual and methodological rigor. Results QOL research is international and involves a variety of target groups, research designs, and QOL measures. According to the criteria of Gill and Feinstein, the results show that only 13% provided a definition of QOL, 6% distinguished QOL from HRQOL. The most frequently fulfilled criteria were: (i) stating the domains of QOL to be measured; (ii) giving a reason for choosing the instruments used; and (iii) aggregating the results from multiple items. Conclusion QOL is an important endpoint in medical and health research, and QOL research involves a variety of patient groups and different research designs. Based on the current evaluation of the methodological and conceptual clarity of QOL research, we conclude that the majority QOL studies in health and medicine have conceptual and methodological challenges

  Background Patient‐centred education is a key element in the care of patients undergoing kidney transplantation. We implemented a tailored, evidence‐based education programme for the post‐transplant phase. Objective The aim of the study was to explore renal transplant recipients’ experiences of participating in a new, tailored, evidence‐based education programme. Methods An explorative qualitative design was chosen to elicit knowledge, insight and understanding of the renal transplant recipients’ perspectives. Twelve renal transplant recipients participated in semi‐structured interviews about eight weeks post‐transplant. The interviews were audiotaped and analysed using thematic data analysis inspired by Kvale and Brinkmann's method for meaning condensation. Findings Two main themes emerged: ‘Situated tailoring to the person's everyday life knowledge’, and ‘Tailoring as a standard procedure regardless of the person’. Conclusion The findings of the present study indicate that the renal transplant recipients experienced the new education programme to be tailored to individual needs. Our study also revealed that the recipients experienced the health care personnel to take different considerations into account when educating. Viewing knowledge as continuously changing from controlled study contexts into clinical settings, we here demonstrate the need to evaluate new knowledge also after being implemented.

  Objective: To perform the first randomized controlled trial to compare laparoscopic and open liver resection. Summary Background Data: Laparoscopic liver resection is increasingly used for the surgical treatment of liver tumors.However, high-level evidence to conclude that laparoscopic liver resection is superior to open liver resection is lacking. Methods: Explanatory, assessor-blinded, single center, randomized superiority trial recruiting patients from Oslo University Hospital, Oslo, Norway from February 2012 to January 2016. A total of 280 patients with resectable liver metastases from colorectal cancer were randomly assigned to undergo laparoscopic (n ¼ 133) or open (n ¼ 147) parenchyma-sparing liver resection. The primary outcome was postoperative complications within 30 days (Accordion grade 2 or higher). Secondary outcomes included cost-effectiveness, postoperative hospital stay, blood loss, operation time, and resection margins. Results: The postoperative complication rate was 19% in the laparoscopicsurgery group and 31% in the open-surgery group (12 percentage points difference [95% confidence interval 1.67–21.8; P ¼ 0.021]). The postoperative hospital stay was shorter for laparoscopic surgery (53 vs 96 hours, P < 0.001), whereas there were no differences in blood loss, operation time, and resection margins. Mortality at 90 days did not differ significantly from the laparoscopic group (0 patients) to the open group (1 patient). In a 4-month perspective, the costs were equal, whereas patients in the laparoscopicsurgery group gained 0.011 quality-adjusted life years compared to patients in the open-surgery group (P ¼ 0.001). Conclusions: In patients undergoing parenchyma-sparing liver resection for colorectal metastases, laparoscopic surgery was associated with significantly less postoperative complications compared to open surgery. Laparoscopic resection was cost-effective compared to open resection with a 67% probability. The rate of free resection margins was the same in both groups. Our results support the continued implementation of laparoscopic liver resection.

  Aim To compare nursing intensity and nurse staffing costs for liver transplant (LTx) vs. kidney transplant (KTx) patients through the use of the RAFAELA system (the OPCq instrument). Background High-quality patient care correlates with the correct allocation of nursing staff. Valid systems for obtaining data on nursing intensity, in relation to actual patient care needs, are needed to ensure correct staffing. Methods A prospective, comparative study of 85 liver and 85 kidney transplant patients. Nursing intensity was calculated using the Oulu Patient Classification (OPCq) instrument. The cost per nursing intensity point was calculated by dividing annual total nursing wage costs with annual total nursing intensity points. Results The results showed significantly higher nursing intensity per day for liver transplant patients compared to kidney transplant patients. The length of stay was the most important variable in relation to nursing intensity points per day. Conclusions The study demonstrated differences in nursing intensity and nurse staffing costs between the two patient groups. Implications for Nursing Management When defending nurse staffing decisions, it is essential that nurse managers have evidence-based knowledge of nursing intensity and nurse staffing costs.

  The RAFAELA system was developed in Finland during the 1990s to help with the systematic and daily measurement of nursing intensity (NI) and allocation of nursing staff. The system has now been rolled out across almost all hospitals in Finland, and implementation has started elsewhere in Europe and Asia. This article describes the system, which aims to uphold staffing levels in accordance with patients’ care needs, and its structure, which consists of three parts: the Oulu Patient Classification instrument; registration of available nursing resources; and the Professional Assessment of Optimal Nursing Care Intensity Level method, as an alternative to classical time studies. The article also highlights the benefits of using a systematic measurement of NI.

  Background: Quality of life (QOL) has become established as a central concept and target for research and practice in the field of health and medicine. However, QOL is a complex concept that is interpreted and defined differently within and between disciplines, and so is also the case in health and medicine. Thus, there is a continuing philosophical debate about the meaning and content of QOL and how it should be measured. Aim: The aim of the present study was to perform a review of QOL research in medicine and health, and describe country of origin, target groups, instruments, design and conceptual issues Methods: A Systematic snapshot review were conducted with literature searches in the databases Scopus, covering Embase, MEDLINE, CINAHL and PsycINFO, to identify research studies on QOL and Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) published during one random week in November 2016. To evaluate the conceptual and methodological rigor, we used the 10 predefined criteria developed by Gill and Feinstein. Results: The findings show that QOL research is truly international, involves a variety of target groups, uses different research designs and a whole host of QOL measures. When it comes to evaluation according to the criteria developed by Gill and Feinstein, most articles still have a low-quality score; only 13 % of the articles provided a definition of the concept of QOL, few studies (6%) distinguished QOL from HRQOL. Criteria that were fulfilled most frequently were; i) stating the domains of QOL to be measured, ii) giving a reason for choosing the instruments they used, and iii) aggregating the results from multiple items. Conclusion. Knowledge about QOL is important for understanding the consequences of illness and treatment, and for medical decision-making. However, based on the current evaluation of the methodological and conceptual clarity of QOL research, we conclude that most QOL studies in health and medicine have conceptual and methodological challenges.
