“…Organizations such as the National Institute of Nursing Research (2018) and the American Academy of Hospice and Palliative Medicine (2018) have identified symptom management as a focus for research, devoting grant dollars and education towards this area. Other professional organizations, such as the Hospice and Palliative Nurses Association (Welsh, Matzo, Hultman, & Reifsnyder, 2018) and the American Association of Heart Failure Nurses (Stamp et al, 2018), have recognized symptom research and management as an important priority, as well. As the body of symptom research grows, it will become increasingly important to understand this knowledge in a more connected, holistic fashion (Cashion, Gill, Hawes, Henderson, & Saligan, 2016).…”

Aims The aim of this study was to explore how the theory of unpleasant symptoms (TOUS) has been used in the methodological design and analysis of symptom research. Design An integrative review, using Whittemore and Knafl's approach. Data Sources Searches were conducted between 26 January–10 February 2018. Databases included CINAHL Complete, PubMed, Proquest Nursing and Allied Health Source, Health Source: Nursing/Academic Edition, Academic Search Complete and Google Scholar. Review Methods A systematic approach to searching, screening and analysing the literature was applied. The matrix method, content analysis, constant comparison, counting and clustering were used. Results Sixty‐four records were included. Most studies were quantitative, cross‐sectional, instrument‐based and conducted in the USA. Various symptoms and patient populations were represented and each of the TOUS concepts were explored. Conclusion Although the theory has a role to play in furthering symptom science, attention should be paid to the areas of the model and of symptom research that have received less attention. More complex statistical approaches and big data will help to illuminate symptom experiences. Additional focus on intervention studies and all symptom dimensions will help to advance symptom science research. Impact This review is the first to provide a comprehensive, systematic summary of the uses of the TOUS across the research literature to date. This theory is a diverse, holistic middle‐range theory capable of being applied to multiple symptoms and populations. Researchers should consider using the theory as a conceptual framework for studies to advance symptom science and explore symptoms holistically.

“…A recent position statement of the American Association of Heart Failure Nurses has emphasized the importance of studying more family relationships in HF (Stamp et al, 2018) to provide patients and caregivers with more effective care. Therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate the influence of mutuality as a whole and of its dimensions on self-care maintenance, management, and confidence in HF patient–caregiver dyads.…”

The Influence of Mutuality on Self-Care in Heart Failure Patients and Caregivers: A Dyadic Analysis

et al. 2018

Mutuality in patient-caregiver dyad may improve heart failure (HF) patient self-care and caregiver contribution to self-care, but literature is scarce. We evaluated the influence of mutuality and its dimensions on patientcaregiver dyad self-care. A sample of 366 HF patient-caregiver dyads was enrolled. The Actor-Partner Interdependence Model was used to identify the influence of individual patient and caregiver mutuality on their own self-care (actor effect) and on partner self-care (partner effect). The total mutuality score had an actor effect on patient self-care maintenance (i.e., behaviors aimed at maintaining HF stability) and on patient and caregiver self-care confidence. Total score of patient mutuality also had a partner effect on caregiver self-care management (i.e., responses to symptoms of HF exacerbation). Specific mutuality dimensions had different actor and partner effects on patient and caregiver self-care. Interventions to improve mutuality

“…The third domain encompasses diseases where nursing research is scarce, and as a result, more research is urgently called for. Stroke (Lightbody, 2017;Rowat et al, 2016), heart failure (Stamp et al, 2018), Parkinson's disease (Shin & Habermann, 2016), osteoarthritis (Robbins & Kulesa, 2012), diabetes (Graue et al, 2013;Iversen et al, 2016) and stoma (Hubbard et al, 2017) are considered to be the above-mentioned areas of diseases. With respect to nursing research on diabetes, Iversen et al (2016) believe that future research may benefit from larger nurse-led research programmes organized into networks to share knowledge and expertise across national groups.…”

Aim To analyse nursing research based on the CINAHL database to identify research priorities for nursing. Design A scoping literature review was conducted. The CINAHL Plus (EBSCO) Full Text was searched between 2012–2018. Methods Out of 1522 original publications, 91 fulfilled the inclusion criteria. The Joanna Briggs Institute critical appraisal tools were applied. Data were analysed by a thematic analysis method. Results A strong emphasis should be put on development and evaluation of nursing theories and, in addition, randomized controlled trial studies, meta‐synthesis, experimental and intervention studies are needed in nursing research. Development of competencies and skills in the nursing profession ought to be studied more extensively and research should be focused on variety fields of nursing practice.
