BACKGROUND: Care transition after hospital discharge is challenging for patients and their families. For post an acute cardiac event patients, the 0–14 days period is a vulnerable period. After hospitalization, patients and their families report having unmet information needs at a time of hospital discharge. It can increase the complication and hospital readmission. AIM: This study aim to explore the patient’s transition experiences from hospital to home after an acute cardiac event. METHODS: An exploratory qualitative research design with phenomenological approach was used in the study. The data were collected from April to July 2020, using semi-structured interviews with 15 patients diagnosed with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Transcribed interview data were thematically analyzed. RESULTS: There are five themes obtained from the study: Positive perception after an acute cardiac event, the changes experienced, the knowledge which was required, the support needs, and expectations and goals. CONCLUSION: Transition from hospital to home depends on the perceptions of the participants themselves. The experience of transitioning patients from hospital to home was influenced by the existence of support from family, spiritual meaning, and social environment to be able to adapt to health conditions. The finding of this study can assist the nurses in understanding better the needs of patients to prepare the care transition from the hospital to home.

“…Colaizzi’s method is widely applied in nursing science and qualitative research and has proven useful to derive knowledge from interviews (33, 34). It appears to be useful to collect personal experience and to mine it for the generation of a questionnaire (35). The data generated in this study supports the impact of qualitative research in the diagnostic process (36).…”

IntroductionPrimary immunodeficiency disorders (PIDs) are a heterogeneous group of more than 200 rare diseases. Timely diagnosis is of uttermost importance. Therefore, we aimed to develop a diagnostic questionnaire with computerized pattern-recognition in order to support physicians to identify suspicious patient histories.Materials and methodsStandardized interviews were conducted with guardians of children with PID. The questionnaire based on parental observations was developed using Colaizzis’ framework for content analysis. Answers from 64 PID patients and 62 controls were analyzed by data mining methods in order to make a diagnostic prediction. Performance was evaluated by k-fold stratified cross-validation.ResultsThe diagnostic support tool achieved a diagnostic sensitivity of up to 98%. The analysis of 12 interviews revealed 26 main phenomena observed by parents in the pre-diagnostic period. The questions were systematically phrased and selected resulting in a 36-item questionnaire. This was answered by 126 patients with or without PID to evaluate prediction. Item analysis revealed significant questions.DiscussionOur approach proved suitable for recognizing patterns and thus differentiates between observations of PID patients and control groups. These findings provide the basis for developing a tool supporting physicians to consider a PID with a questionnaire. These data support the notion that patient’s experience is a cornerstone in the diagnostic process.
