“…Compliance with custom trays remains poor in the absence of 6-month dedicated dentist follow-up visits [24,25]. This requires a structured network with a good coordination between radiation oncologists, dentists, and head and neck surgeons.…”

Compliance with custom trays was poor in this series. Specific postirradiation dental care follow-up visits and education have demonstrated their utility in the era of 2D irradiation. We currently advocate an 18-month compliance with custom trays in IMRT patients on the basis of the Parsport trial, after which we assess the quality of salivary recovery before recommending prolonged use or interruption. Data with innovative irradiation techniques are however required.

“…Analysis in phenomenography does not describe one fixed procedure but is accomplished in a sequence of steps (Brammer, 2006;Dahlgren and Fallsberg, 1991;Ho¨rberg, Brunt, and Axelsson, 2004;Jo¨nsson and Fridlund, 2003;Ro¨ing, Hirsch, and Holmstro¨m, 2006;Samarasinghe and Arvidsson, 2002;Schro¨der, Ahlstro¨m, and Larsson, 2006;Wille´n and Scherman, 2002). In the analysis, the focus was on what the students themselves considered important for their learning, and how they, in retrospect, thought they had learned.…”

A situated perspective on learning implies looking at learning as a process of social interaction. Learning is linked to participation and engagement in situations and activities that make up the community of practice. The aim of this study was to explore how important students perceive interaction in the community of practice to be for their learning. We chose a qualitative approach using semistructured interviews. The informants were five interns and five third-year students. The interviews were analysed by using a phenomenographic framework. Four descriptive categories were identified: 1) feeling welcome and included; 2) having enough time and space; 3) the importance of a fellow student; and 4) the patient as my teacher. In environments in which students feel welcome and included, they are allowed to test their ability to gain and develop experience, and they become active participants of a community. As active participants, students have access to a variety of learning situations. If learning is understood as a dynamic process during which all participants develop, there will be mutual interaction between students and the professional community. When learning becomes integrated into practice and has consequences for development of the community, responsibility for the learning of others becomes important.

“…In understanding work as meeting the challenges of being a healthcare provider, some healthcare professionals appeared to be overwhelmed by the complexity of certain patients, situations, or demands of treatment. For instance, the challenge for hospital dental team members may have been coping with feelings aroused during their interactions with head and neck cancer patients (Roing, Hirsch, & Holmstrom, 2006). This may have been due to their lack of education and training in dealing with (Gustafsson, Mattsson, Dubbelman, & Snoljung, 2014) Unnecessary component in routine daily practice Fear of the unknown, easier to ensure safety by performing nursing activities where outcome is known.…”

A Metasynthesis of Phenomenographic Articles on Understandings of Work Among Healthcare Professionals

Phenomenography is a qualitative research method based on the assumption that almost any phenomenon will be understood by a group of people in a limited number of ways. Our aim in this article was to identify the different ways work can be understood by healthcare professionals. In a world where the delivery of healthcare is continually changing, a metasynthesis of phenomenographic articles on healthcare professionals' understandings can provide knowledge about the focus and meaning of work for these individuals today. Our metaethnographic synthesis of 14 selected phenomenographic articles identified five different ways of understanding work, ranging from a limited to an all the more comprehensive view on patients and their needs. This range of understandings reveals problem areas and challenges facing healthcare professionals today. The possibility exists as well that limited understandings of work may be negative consequences of current demands for efficiency and all the more limited healthcare resources.
