Research Nursing Research Newsletter HIGHTLIGHTS Faculty of Nursing, Mahidol University Thai Oncology Nurses' Perceptions of Patient Participation in Acute Cancer Care Kanaungnit Pongthavornkamol, Aphorn Khamkon, Warunee Phligbua, Emma Cohen, Mari Botti Background: Patient participation in care is considered a core component of high-quality nursing care and medical treatment. In the context of cancer care in Thailand, we know very little about the way patient participation in care is perceived and enacted. The aim of this study was to explore Thai oncology nurses' perceptions and understandings of patient participation in their own care during hospitalization. Patients and methods: A qualitative descriptive research approach using focus groups was applied. Two focus group interviews (N = 16) were conducted with registered nurses who provide care in oncology units of one tertiary care university hospital in Bangkok, Thailand. The transcribed inter- views were analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results: In this study, nurses were aware of the value of patient participation during hospitalization but acknowledged that current processes to involve patients in their care were not as effective as they could be. Facilitating participation is seen as a means of supporting patients to make decisions independently that are in line with their treatment plans, in particular, decisions related to self-care and illness-related symp- toms. This raises the potential for conflict when patients make choices that are contrary to recommendations. Barriers to facilitating partici- pation identified were high clinician workloads and lack of time, and ambiguity of existing guidelines for supporting lifestyle decisions. Conclusion: Facilitating patient participation is complex in acute cancer care. Patient participation is recognized by nurses as a positive way of promoting independence in patients. However, balancing patient autonomy with nurses' perceived professional responsibilities is challeng- ing in practice. Source: Pongthavornkamol K, Khamkon A, Phligbua W, Cohen E, Botti M.

How Thai Women Manage Living in the Context of Intimate Partner Violence Nanthana Thananowan, Phuangphet Kaesornsamut, Tammy O’Rourke, Kathy Hegadoren Background: Although there is literature that describes coping strategies of women who experience intimate partner violence (IPV), the defini- tions of common coping strategies and the two-dimensional model of coping styles (emotion-or problem-focused) may not fully delineate how these women manage their day-to-day lives. Patients and methods: Using an Interpretive Description method and feminist standpoint principles, in-depth interviews were conducted with 40 Thai wom- en regarding how they managed living in the context of IPV. Data were analyzed using an iterative thematic analysis procedure. In this study, the highly changeable and adaptive strategies use by participants could not be easily categorized into emotion-or action/problem- focused. Indeed, the strategies used by Thai women in this study were better described as survival focused. Results: Based on our analysis, the process of managing their day-to-day life in the context of IPV revealed six major themes: keeping silent, disconnect between the fantasy of love and reality, seeking emotional support, ambivalence surrounding leaving, living with negative emotions, and despair and suicide. An undercurrent that was woven throughout multiple themes was the dominant lens of motherhood through which women made day-to-day decisions. These data also highlight the specific impacts that Thai society and religious beliefs have on increasing the risk of IPV and maintaining its duration. Conclusion: All levels of government, religious leaders, and public policy makers must engage in intersectoral initiatives to make public what is now private. Social and health service providers must create safe spaces where women can disclose IPV and where they can get funded multilevel supports to help them live independent of violence. The participants’ stories give voice to why Thai health professionals need to fully engage with women to understand the past and current contexts of women’s lives and how their experiences impact their health.

Importantly, there is also a research database on systematic reviews, including The Cochrane Library Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR), which is a useful database for researchers in searching for research on topics of interest and checking duplication of research in systematic reviews and meta-analysis. At pre- sent, the Cochrane Library Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews (CDSR) is also a top database that is used to search and reference the result of study that published in the database for the new research, in systematic reviews and other research such as clinical trials or experimental research. The Cochrane database service could be accessed at https://www.cochranelibrary.com/ RevMan is a software developed by Cochrane. It is useful in managing research in systematic reviews, especially in data management and data analysis. Systematic reviews process by using the RevMan software, starting from collecting the results data from the literature reviews, identification of the characteristics of data, pooled statistic calculation, heterogeneity test, sensi- tivity test, calculation in terms of mixed and random effect, table presentations and forest plots and reporting bias by funnel plot Furthermore, RevMan could be used for reviews of diagnostic test accuracy studies, reviews of studies of methodology and over- views of reviews.
