This review aimed to identify the main factors influencing the adoption of the role of care manager (CM) by nurses when implementing the collaborative care model (CCM) for common mental illnesses in primary care settings. A total of 19 studies met the inclusion criteria, reporting on 14 distinct interventions implemented between 2000 and 2017 in five countries. Two categories of factors were identified and described as follows: (i) strategies for the CCM implementation (e.g. initial care management training and supervision by a mental health specialist) and (ii) context‐specific factors (e.g. organizational factors, collaboration with team members, nurses’ care management competency). Identified implementation strategies were mainly aimed towards improving the nurse's care management competency, but their efficacy in developing the set of competencies needed to fulfil a CM role was not well demonstrated. There is a need to better understand the relationship between the nurses’ competencies, the care management activities, the strategies used to implement the CCM and the context‐specific factors. Strategies to optimize the adoption of the CM role should not be solely oriented towards the individual's competency in care management, but also consider other context‐specific factors. The CM also needs a favourable context in order to perform his or her activities with competency.

Background Prenatal primary nursing care contributes to improving the health outcomes of mothers and unborn babies. Some pregnant women in contexts of vulnerability experience prenatal nursing care in a positive way, while some do not. A better understanding of factors influencing this experience could help improve prenatal nursing care. The aim of this study was to describe factors influencing the prenatal primary nursing care experience of pregnant women in contexts of vulnerability. Methods Thorne’s qualitative interpretative descriptive approach was used. Twenty-four pregnant women in contexts of vulnerability were recruited in local community service centers in Quebec, Canada, using purposive and snowball samplings, to carry out a semi-structured interview. Participants were 16 years old and over, in their second or third trimester, or had given birth in the previous year, and received prenatal nursing care through community health services. Data collection methods included a logbook, sociodemographic questionnaire and semi-structured interview on vulnerable pregnant women’s experience with prenatal primary nursing care. The Qualitative Analysis Guide of Leuven guided the inductive thematic analysis, following a constant comparative iterative process. Results The women’s experience was initially influenced by the fulfillment of their needs and expectations. These stem from their previous or current pregnancy experiences, their motivation to receive prenatal care, their family concerns as well as their contexts of vulnerability. From the pregnant women’s perspective, the main factors that influenced their experience were the nurse’s approach, characteristics and interventions that all impact on their relationship with nurses, as well as the prenatal primary care organization, including the modalities of prenatal care (i.e. schedule, setting, duration, number and frequency of meetings), the continuity and the program’s prenatal care services, such as referral to a nutritionist, social worker or other services. Conclusions A conceptual framework is proposed to describe relationships among the factors distributed in three dimensions that influence the experience of pregnant women in contexts of vulnerability and to guide nurses in the improvement of prenatal primary care. Considering the complexity of this experience, a person-centered approach is mandatory to promote a positive experience, equity and a better use of services.

Cet article présente les résultats d’une étude qui avait pour but de comprendre et de décrire l’expérience de la sclérodermie systémique et celle de santé-dans-la-maladie dans le contexte d’adultes vivant avec cette maladie chronique. La philosophie du caring humain de Watson a soutenu le processus de recherche. En cohérence avec cette auteure, la méthododologie élaborée par Van Manen a été choisie pour encadrer ce processus. La collecte des données a reposé principalement sur l’expérience d’adultes québécois vivant avec la sclérodermie systémique, recueillie au moyen de 34 entretiens en profondeur réalisés auprès de 17 participants (14 femmes et trois hommes). Les résultats ont permis d’identifier quatre thèmes pour décrire d’une part, l’essence de l’expérience de la sclérodermie systémique, et d’autre part, deux thèmes pour exposer l’essence de l’expérience de santé-dans-la-maladie. Un travail de mise en relation de ces deux essences a été effectué afin de développer une conceptualisation de l’expérience de santé-dans-la-maladie dans le contexte d’adultes québécois vivant avec la sclérodermie systémique. Cette nouvelle conceptualisation de l’expérience de santé-dans-la-maladie devrait contribuer au renouvellement des pratiques de soins.
