From Qualitative Meta-Summary to Qualitative Meta-Synthesis: Introducing a New Situation-Specific Theory of Barriers and Facilitators for Self-Care in Patients With Heart Failure.
Qualitative Health Research 2018 September 29
Situation-specific theories provide nurses with a vehicle to interpret situations, guide their decisions or make assumptions about factors influencing a health problem. In this article, we used meta-synthesis techniques to integrate statements of findings pertaining to barriers and facilitators to heart failure self-care that were derived previously through meta-summary techniques leading to a new situation-specific theory. According to our proposed theory, self-care behavior is the result of a patient's naturalistic decision-making process. This process is influenced by two key concepts: "self-efficacy" and the "patient's disease concept of heart failure." Numerous facilitative and inhibitive factors have been identified influencing these two key concepts as well as the decision-making process, thereby either enabling or hampering the execution of effective heart failure self-care. Further research is needed to validate the model through empirical testing. Once fully matured, the model may be useful in developing behavioral interventions aiming at enhancing adherence to self-care recommendations.
