Barriers and enablers to physical activity in people with venous leg ulcers: A systematic review of qualitative studies
2022, International Journal of Nursing StudiesCitation Excerpt :Of the 18 studies, 12 studies scored positively on questions associated with the philosophical approach, congruity between methodology and research questions, methodology and data collection method, methodology and data analysis, methodology and interpretation of results (see Table 2). Nine studies did not include a statement about the researcher, either culturally or conceptually (Bentley, 2006; Brown, 2005; Chase et al., 1997; Gates, 2005; Kapp and Miller, 2015; Mudge et al., 2006; Stevens, 2006; Walshe, 1995; Wissing et al., 1997). Fourteen studies did not identify the influence of researchers on the research (Aguiar et al., 2016; Bentley, 2006; Brown, 2005; Chase et al., 1997; Douglas, 2001; Gates, 2005; Green et al., 2013; Kapp and Miller, 2015; Kesterton et al., 2019; Mudge et al., 2006; O'Brien et al., 2014.,

2018, Wound MedicinePlacing the patient at the centre of chronic wound care: A qualitative evidence synthesis
2017, Journal of Tissue ViabilityCitation Excerpt :The patients, who had accepted the chronic nature of their wound and the underlying health condition(s), appeared to be more satisfied with their lives and were able to focus on improving their lifestyles within these limitations [25,26,28,30,31,36,37]. Healthcare professionals were often focused on achieving complete wound closure [20,21,23,28–30,37] and not on the holistic treatment of the patient. A more holistic focus involved identifying the peoples' priorities and giving “as much importance to comfort and symptom control as to speed of healing” [28].
