“…friends, family. Contingent intermediaries crossed both formal and informal, and represent a source of contingent information, which may only be offered at the moment of practice or be incidental to the intended information need (Bonner and Lloyd 2011). Similar findings related to the contingency of information provision were noted by Fisher, Durrance and Hinton (2004), leading these authors to locate contingency in the construct of information grounds.…”

“…This differential exposure may skew perceptions about ideal modalities for patients and the ideal modality distribution for the UHN. In keeping with this hypothesis, a qualitative study demonstrated that practical experience was the most influential factor in nursing practice patterns [33]. As nurses indicated that they preferred practical continuing education (CE) to learn about dialysis modality selection, providing them with hands-on exposure to both the CHD and home dialysis unit (i.e.…”

Attitudes and perceptions of nephrology nurses towards dialysis modality selection: a survey study

BackgroundThere is a paucity of information about the views of dialysis nurses towards dialysis modality selection, yet nurses often have the most direct contact time with patients. We conducted a survey to better understand nurses’ attitudes and perceptions, and hypothesized that nurses with different areas of expertise would have differences in opinions.MethodsWe administered an electronic survey to all dialysis/predialysis nurses (n = 129) at a large, tertiary care center. The survey included questions about preferred therapy - in-center hemodialysis (CHD), versus home dialysis (home hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis) and ideal modality mix. Responses were compared between nurses with home dialysis and CHD experience.ResultsThe survey response rate was 69%. Both nursing groups ranked patient caregivers and dialysis nurses as having the least impact on patient modality selection. For most patient characteristics (including age > 70 years and presence of multiple chronic illnesses), CHD nurses felt that CHD was somewhat or strongly preferred, while home dialysis nurses preferred a home modality (p < 0.001 for all characteristics studied). Similar differences in responses were noted for patient/system factors such as patient survival, cost to patients and nursing job security. Compared to CHD nurses, a higher proportion of home dialysis nurses felt that CHD was over-utilized (85% versus 58%, p = 0.024).ConclusionDialysis nurses have prevailing views about modality selection that are strongly determined by their area of experience and expertise.

“…Empirical studies of emergency workers (2009), renal nurses (Bonner and Lloyd, 2011) and people with chronic health conditions, supply illustrative examples (see also Olsson, 2016). She states, "Corporeal information can be understood as information that is experienced through the situated and sensory body as it interacts with material objects, artefacts and other people that inhabit the same landscape" (Lloyd 2010).…”

What every body knows: Embodied information in serious leisure AbstractPurpose: The aim of this conceptual paper is to reconsider the role of the body in information in serious leisure by reviewing the potential to theorise the role of the body in information behaviour within serious leisure by drawing on practice theory, phenomenology, sensory studies and embodied cognitionexisting work in information behaviour that theorises the role of the body, and by drawing selectively on literature from beyond information studies to extend our understanding.Approach: After finding a lack of attention to the body in most influential works on information behaviour, the paper identifies two a number of important authors who do offer an initial theorisations. It then explores what can be learnt by examining some studies of embodied information in the hobbies of running, music, and the liberal arts, largely frompublished outside the discipline. Findings:Auto-ethnographic studies influenced by phenomenology show that embodied information is central to the hobby of running, both through the diverse sensory information the runner uses and through the dissemination of information by the body as a sign. Studies of music drawing on the theory of embodied cognition, similarly suggest that it is a key part of amateur music information behaviour. Even when considering the liberal arts hobby the core activity, reading, is itself in has been shown to be in significant ways embodied. The examples reveal how it is not only in more obviously embodied leisure activities such as sports, in which the body must be considered. Research implications:There is a significant gap in the theorisation of information behaviour around the role of the body Embodied information refers to how we receive information from the senses and the way the body is a sign that can be read by others. To fully understand this more empirical and theoretical work is needed to reconcile influencesights from practice theory, phenomenology, embodied cognition and sensory studies.Originality/value: The paper demonstrates how and why the body has been neglected in information behaviour research, reviews current work and identifies perspectives from other disciplines that can begin to fill theis gap.
