“…The second step is to re-examine the data, using four principles representing the major perspectives of the philosophy of science: epistemological, pragmatic, linguistic and logic -a so called principle-based evaluation 27 . In order to advance the concept, the third step involves formulation of key questions for which answers are derived from the data.…”

“…In this paper, we present a theoretical analysis of the concept 'woman-centered care' as it appears in scientific studies in the midwifery domain, using the steps of concept advancement [26][27][28] . We aimed to ensure that our analysis targeted practical relevant ideas and therefore based it on actual uses by midwives.…”

INTRODUCTION Woman-centered care has become a midwifery concept with implied meaning. In this paper we aim to provide a clear conceptual foundation of woman-centered care for midwifery science and practice. METHODS An advanced concept analysis was undertaken. At the outset, a systematic search of the literature was conducted in PubMed, OVID and EBSCO. This was followed by an assessment of maturity of the retrieved data. Principle-based evaluation was done to reveal epistemological, pragmatic, linguistic and logic principles, that attribute to the concept. Summative conclusions of each respective component and a detailed analysis of conceptual components (antecedents, attributes, outcomes, boundaries) resulted in a definition of woman-centered care. RESULTS Eight studies were selected for analyses. In midwifery, woman-centered care has both a philosophical and a pragmatic meaning. There is strong emphasis on the woman-midwife relationship during the childbearing period. The concept demonstrates a dual and equal focus on physical parameters of pregnancy and birth, and on humanistic dimensions in an interpersonal context. The concept is epistemological, dynamic and multidimensional. The results reveal the concept's boundaries and fluctuations regarding equity and control. The role of the unborn child is not incorporated in the concept. CONCLUSION An in-depth understanding and a broad conceptual foundation of womancentered care has evolved. Now, the concept is ready for research and educational purposes as well as for practical utility.

“…This review drew on Morse's Pragmatic Utility approach to concept analysis [12,15], an approach to concept analysis which explores the usefulness of the concept for clinical practice and/or research [15]. Concept analysis involves literature review, critical appraisal, coding, analytic questioning and data synthesis in order to inform the development of a clinically applicable definition and/or model of the concept [16,17]. …”

A conceptual review of engagement in healthcare and rehabilitationPurpose: This review sought to develop an understanding of how engagement in healthcare has been conceptualized in the literature in order to inform future clinical practice and research in rehabilitation. A secondary purpose was to propose a working definition of engagement.Method: EBSCO and SCOPUS databases and reference lists were searched for papers that sought to understand or describe the concept of engagement in healthcare or reported the development of a measure of engagement in healthcare. We drew on a Pragmatic Utility approach to concept analysis.Results: Thirty-one articles met the criteria and were included in the review. Engagement appeared to be conceptualized in two inter-connected ways: as a gradual process of connection between the healthcare provider and patient; and as an internal state which may be accompanied by observable behaviors indicating engagement. Conclusion:Our review suggests engagement to be multi-dimensional, comprising both a coconstructed process and a patient state. While engagement is commonly considered a patient behavior, the review findings suggest clinicians play a pivotal role in patient engagement. This review challenges some understandings of engagement and how we work with patients, and highlights conceptual limitations of some measures. Introduction'Patient engagement' is a term increasingly used in rehabilitation and the broader healthcare context [1]. Several authors have argued the benefits of rehabilitation are limited if the patient is not fully engaged in the process [2,3]. For example, levels of engagement have been associated with improved functional improvement during inpatient rehabilitation and levels of functioning after discharge. Levels of engagement have also been associated with lower levels of depression and with higher levels of affect, adherence and attendance [2,4]. In addition, within clinical rehabilitation practice, the 'engaged patient' is perhaps identified as being the 'desirable patient', one who is easy for providers to work with [5]. On the face of it, these findings suggest that patient engagement is both positive and desirable.While the term 'engagement' is increasingly used in clinical practice and research, there has been relatively little critical exploration of what 'engagement' means and the underpinning concept/s the term may represent. Research of engagement appears to be in its early days, with little consensus on what engagement is, what leads to a patient being perceived as engaged or disengaged or indeed, how engagement occurs. The term engagement is used in multiple ways in the literature, variably referring to patient actions and behaviors such as accessing services [6], retention within services [7,8], enthusiasm [2] and self-management of health conditions [8], or referred to a hospital's provision of health resources and social media usage [9], and to the interaction between the patient and healthcare provider [10].It could be argued that it does not matt...

Toward harmonization of strategies for investigating lucidity in AD/ADRD: A preliminary research framework

Episodes of lucidity (ELs) in Alzheimer's disease and Alzheimer's disease-related dementias (AD/ADRD), have garnered increasing attention as an important area of research. Efforts to study lucidity suffer from a lack of clear definitional criteria, inconsistent conceptualization, and diverse approaches to operationalizing features of these events. To advance systematic investigation of ELs in AD/ADRD, there is a need for clarity and precision in labeling event attributes, markers, and specific measurement strategies that enable operational harmonization across distinct approaches to investigating the relatively broad and nascent phenomenon. To that end, we propose a preliminary research framework to guide harmonization of approaches to investigating ELs in AD/ADRD. Our goal is to provide an initial schematic that encourages uniform labeling of operational decisions about ELs.
