RESUMO
AIM: To explore and compare the didactic approaches to practical skills learning at simulation centres in Scandinavian universities and university colleges. BACKGROUND: Academic simulation centres are an important arena for learning practical nursing skills which are essential to ensure competent performance regarding patient safety and quality of care. Knowledge of didactic approaches to enhance learning is essential in promoting the provision and retention of students' practical nursing skills. However, research on didactical approaches to practical nursing skills learning is lacking. DESIGN: A qualitative comparative design was used. METHODS: During November and December 2019, interviews were conducted with a total of 37 simulation centre directors or assistant directors, each of whom possessed in-depth knowledge of practical skills in teaching and learning. They represented bachelor nursing education in Denmark, Norway and Sweden. A qualitative deductive content analysis was conducted. RESULTS: The results revealed all five predetermined didactical components derived from the didactical relationship model. Twenty-two corresponding categories that described a variation in didactic approaches to practical skills learning in Scandinavian nursing simulation centres were identified. The didactical components of Learning process revealed mostly similarities, Setting mostly differences and Assessment showed only differences in didactic approaches. CONCLUSION: Although various didactic approaches were described across the countries, no common approach was found. Nursing educational institutions are encouraged to cooperate in developing a shared understanding of how didactic approaches can enhance practical skills learning. IMPLICATIONS FOR PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: Cross-country comparisons of practical nursing skills learning in Scandinavian countries highlight the importance of educator awareness concerning the impact diverse didactic approaches may have on competent performance in nursing education. Competent performance is pivotal for ensuring patient safety and the provision of high-quality care. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION: No Patient or Public Contribution. REPORTING METHOD: This study followed the Consolidated Criteria for Reporting Qualitative Research reporting guidelines.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Going through a liver transplantation is by many recipients considered mentally and emotionally burdensome. AIM: The aim of this study was to explore individuals' mental, emotional and existential experiences living with a liver transplant during a period of approximately ten years. METHODOLOGICAL DESIGN: The methodology in this study is based on Gadamer's hermeneutics. Galvin and Todres' conceptual framework on well-being was applied in the interpretation process. RESEARCH METHODS: Both researchers conducted interviews, which took the form of conversations. We made use of Brinkmann and Kvales' three types of interpretation. ETHICAL ISSUES AND APPROVAL: The study was approved by the Ombudsman for Privacy of the Norwegian Social Data Services and is based on informed consent and confidentiality. RESULTS: Three themes emerged through interpretation: 1. From great suffering to gratitude and a humble attitude towards life. 2. From living in uncertainty to leading a normal life. 3. From hopelessness and anxiety to an indifferent attitude towards life. CONCLUSION: This study showed that the process of receiving a new liver and living with it, had changed most of the participants' attitudes towards life in a humble way. Some persons struggled with life and experienced depression anxiety, as well as lack of energy.

Background: Peripheral vein cannulation is a complex yet common practical skill. Learning to insert a peripheral vein cannula is fundamental in nursing education; however, the most beneficial pedagogical approaches are yet to be elucidated. Objective: To explore and impart a deeper understanding of the learning conditions in nursing education for developing competency in peripheral vein cannulation. Design: Qualitative, explorative. and comparative research design. Settings: Two nursing educational settings in southern Norway: an academic setting for simulation-based peripheral vein cannulation skill learning, followed by a hospital setting that provided a 9 week clinical placement period. Participants: Nine student nurses in the second year of a bachelor's programme in nursing. Methods: Focus group interviews, individual interviews, and ad hoc conversations with the student nurses on their experiences during and after the process of developing competency in peripheral vein cannulation. Thematic analysis was used to identify categories and common themes. Results: Eight major themes were identified: 'Anatomical and physiological conditions related to the training modalities', 'Realism in training', 'Sequences in peripheral vein cannulation training', 'Different training modalities affording varied learning opportunities', 'Professional nursing assessments', 'Patients' and peers' emotional reactions', 'Student nurses' own emotional reactions', and 'Significance of the relationship between the student nurse and patient'. Conclusions: Simulation-based peripheral vein cannulation practice was an important starting point for the students' skill learning. However, the students experienced the complexity of the skill only in the clinical setting because it offered several learning opportunities. Nonetheless, our findings indicate a need to further review peripheral vein cannulation skill learning, especially patient contributing factors, to enhance the transfer of learning from the simulation setting to the clinical setting. Tweetable abstract: Clinical setting-based peripheral vein cannulation practice is vital for student nurses' skill learning because of the skill's complexity.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Research suggests that the interventions of practice education facilitators, who liaise between the higher education institution and the clinical placement sites, may strengthen the clinical learning environment for nursing students. However, there is a lack of evidence concerning the value of these roles in nursing education. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to explore how, under what circumstances and why the practice education facilitator role can strengthen the clinical learning environment for nursing students. DESIGN: A realist review was conducted to understand the contextual factors and mechanisms that support or hinder the capacity of the practice education facilitator to strengthen the clinical learning environment for nursing students. SETTING: The settings are clinical areas where nursing students are directly involved with patient care. PARTICIPANTS: The participants comprised academic and clinical staff involved in clinical nursing education. METHODS: This realist review was conducted in three overlapping and iterative phases: (1) the development of an initial programme theory explaining how the practice education facilitator role is thought to strengthen the clinical learning environment; (2) structured searches, screening and data extraction; and (3) analysis and synthesis to develop and refine the programme theory. RESULTS: The review included 27 research papers. Evidence from these studies led to the development of five context-mechanism-outcome configurations that explain how, under what circumstances and why practice education facilitators can (or can fail to) strengthen the clinical learning environment. Factors such as practice education facilitators' visibility and accessibility in the clinical area and their clinical credibility were found to influence whether clinical supervisors took the opportunity to seek support and guidance from them. Moreover, ward culture regarding student learning and opportunities to prepare for the role were found to influence clinical supervisors' motivation to carry out the functions of the role and develop professionally; this in turn further influenced whether they used the resources provided by the practice education facilitator. CONCLUSIONS: Theory-based explanations of how, under what circumstances and why the practice education facilitator role may strengthen the clinical learning environment of nursing students may support further development of this role in the future.

Background: Practical skills are complex procedures integrating communication and caring, as well as technical and manual aspects. Simulation at a simulation/skills center offers a wide range of learning activities and aims to imitate patient situations. Objectives: To investigate the international research literature on practical skills learning in simulation/skills centers in nursing education. Research questions: 1. What are the range and type of practical skills studied? 2. What learning activities are focused on in the studies included in the review? 3. What are the learning outcomes and how are they assessed? Design: Narrative review. Methods: We searched electronically and included studies from Medline Ovid, CINAHL, Eric, Embase, Academic Search Premiere, and Cochrane. Unique indexing terms and search strategies were developed for each database. The criteria for inclusion were bachelor nursing students as the study population and practical nursing skills learning in simulation/skills centers. We used Rayyan QCRIt for the initial screening and the Mixed Method Appraisal Tool for quality assessment. We used a narrative approach to synthesize the diverse range of studies. Findings: One hundred and twenty-one studies from 26 countries published between January 2013 and March 2022 were included. The amount of quantitative research was overwhelming (n = 108). A total of 50 different practical skills were represented. The studies focused on which learning modalities resulted in the best learning outcomes. Only 8.5% (n = 7) of the included studies concerned students' learning processes. Skill performance (n = 101), knowledge (n = 57), confidence (n = 34), and satisfaction (n = 32) were the main learning outcomes measured. Discussion: The quality assessment indicated that 10 of the studies achieved 100% on the mixed method appraisal tool criteria. In many of the studies with quasi-experimental and randomized controlled trial designs, the intervention group received some form of educational treatment while the control group received no treatment. The choice of no treatment for the control group in pedagogical research seems to disregard the inherent purpose and effect of teaching and learning. Conclusion: Heterogeneity in the use of learning modalities and measuring instruments precludes the possibility of building on other research. Technical skills were the preferred choice of skill, while skills that involved a fair measure of communication and collaboration were only sparingly studied. Students' learning processes were barely touched on in the included studies. More focus should be placed on this area in further research, since the choice of learning modalities may affect the students' learning processes in significant ways.
RESUMO
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Many newly graduated nurses lack proficiency in practical skill performance. Presently, nursing students' practical skill is assessed by summative instruments with overarching items. The purpose of this study was to develop a more detailed instrument to use in summative assessment of nursing students' practical skill performance and to assess its psychometric properties. METHODS: A 50-item instrument was developed. Video-recorded performances were rated by experienced clinical supervisors. A multifacet measurement design was developed. Relevant parameters were estimated by generalizability analysis. RESULTS: Findings indicated that error of measurement were mainly caused by raters far more than by items. CONCLUSIONS: The present study suggested that summative assessment in realistic settings may not apply one rater only. Two to three/four raters appear necessary to dependably measure most skills.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To explore in depth discomfort in intensive care as experienced by patients and attended to by critical care nurses. BACKGROUND: Discomfort in illness is complex and persistent, and its alleviation is a challenge for nurses working in intensive care units (ICU). In previous studies, we showed that ICU patients described little actual pain but suffer from much discomfort. Critical care nurses had a systematic approach to the treatment of pain, but were more haphazard in dealing with other types of discomfort. DESIGN: Secondary qualitative analysis of data from two previous exploratory studies. METHODS: Content analysis was used on existing data from 28 interviews with ICU patients, and 16 field notes and interviews with critical care nurses. Kolcaba's Comfort Theory was applied for further analysis. The COREQ checklist was used. RESULTS: Three themes, "Being deprived of a functioning body", "Being deprived of a functioning mind" and "Being deprived of integrity" characterised the discomfort experienced by ICU patients. The nurses appeared to attend to all areas of discomfort expressed by patients. In need of, and providing acknowledgment and alleviation became a common overarching theme. We identified a comfort gap caused by the discrepancy between the patients' needs and the nurses' achievements in fulfilling these needs. CONCLUSIONS: A gap exists between ICU patients' comfort needs and nurses' achievements in fulfilling these, indicating that discomfort currently is an inevitable part of the critical illness trajectory. Increased knowledge about how the brain is affected in ICU patients and more systematic approaches to assessing comfort needs and enhancing comfort may support nurses in fulfilling patient needs and possibly diminish the existing comfort gap. RELEVANCE FOR CLINICAL PRACTICE: An increased understanding of the complex experience of discomfort in ICU patients may bring about more systematic approaches to enhance comfort and direct for education and further research.

Nursing students must be able to initiate and perform effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) when they start their career in nursing. Studies show that students' competency in CPR is deficient, indicating that better training is necessary during nursing education. This study reports on the differences in nursing students' competence in CPR before and after a longitudinal pedagogical intervention across the curriculum. Changes in the curriculum were relocation and added testing of CPR skills, inclusion of a course in defibrillation, a knowledge test as stimuli before simulation, and more simulation practice with deteriorating patients. This was a comparative study between two cohorts of students in the bachelor in nursing education. We measured knowledge and compression performance in the students' final year of education. Students in cohort 2, who received the pedagogical intervention, had a significant higher total knowledge score than students in cohort 1. Students' mean depth and number of correct compressions was similar. Students in cohort 2 had a significantly higher mean rate of compressions, number of compressions per minute, and mean number of compressions with incorrect hand positions. Although the new curriculum afforded more hands-on practice of CPR, it was not enough to improve the students' performance to match the demands set out in national and international guidelines.
RESUMO
The aim of this study was to investigate action learning as an implementation method in a large-scale project with many participants in several autonomous and geographically spread groups. The focus of the implementation was the Model of Practical Skill Performance as a learning and supervision tool in the clinical education of nursing students. Nineteen action learning groups were established, and a total of 129 clinical supervisors and 13 facilitators were involved. To evaluate the implementation process, qualitative data were generated through three focus group interviews, questionnaires, and notes. Data illuminate clinical supervisors' perceptions of value, impact, and sustainability when they participate in an action learning group to become familiar with the Model of Practical Skill Performance. The deductive data analysis was guided by central concepts from action learning. Action learning proved to be an engaging and effective tool in the implementation where the main strength seemed to be the autonomous local group supporting collective reflections on actions. Clinical supervisors had the right competences to adopt a reflective process-oriented approach, which is the hallmark of action learning. This study shows the necessity of collaboration between stakeholders in practice, education, and management to implement large-scale projects in clinical practice. The findings imply that managers should choose participants on the basis of their motivation and their voluntary wish to participate and that nurses' immersion in the project over time aids implementation.
RESUMO
AIM: To explore the deliberation and enactment processes of nurses in relation to pain and other discomforts in the critically ill patients after the implementation of an analgosedation protocol. BACKGROUND: Nurses in intensive care units (ICU) face great challenges when managing pain and other discomforts and distinguishing between patients' needs for analgesics and sedatives. An analgosedation protocol favouring pain management, light sedation and early mobilization was implemented in a university hospital ICU in Norway in 2014. Changing sedation paradigms resulting in an increasing number of awake patients during critical illness is expected to affect nursing practice. DESIGN: Exploratory, single-unit study in a mixed adult ICU. METHODS: Data collection with participant observation and semi-structured interviews in sixteen clinical situations in 2014 and 2015. Thirteen experienced certified critical care nurses were included. Thematic content analysis was conducted. RESULTS: An overall theme "Having the compass-drawing the map" emerged from the analysis. The protocol or strategy of analgosedation appeared to provide a direction for treatment and care, although requiring extensive interpretation of needs and individualization of care, often in challenging situations. The overall theme was abstracted from three themes: "Interpreting a complex whole," "Balancing conflicting goals" and "Experiencing strain from acting across ideals." CONCLUSION: Nurses seem to attend adequately to patient pain, but the approach to discomforts other than pain appears unsystematic and haphazard. More explicit goals of care and strategies to handle discomfort as distinct from pain are needed. More research is needed to identify effective comfort measures for ICU patients.
RESUMO
Simulation-based learning is an effective technique for teaching nursing students' skills and knowledge related to patient deterioration. This study examined students' acquisition of theoretical knowledge about symptoms, pathophysiology, and nursing actions after implementing an educational intervention during simulation-based learning. A quasi-experimental study compared theoretical knowledge among two groups of students before and after implementation of the intervention. The intervention introduced the following new components to the existing technique: a knowledge test prior to the simulation, video-recording of the performance, and introduction of a structured observation form used by students and facilitator during observation and debriefing. The intervention group had significantly higher scores on a knowledge test conducted after the simulations in comparison to the scores in the control group. In both groups scores were highest on knowledge of symptoms and lowest on knowledge of pathophysiology; the intervention group had significantly higher scores than the control group on both topics. Students' theoretical knowledge of patient deterioration may be enhanced by improving the students' prerequisites for learning and by strengthening debriefing after simulation.
RESUMO
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study was to provide a better understanding of how parents experience the use of restraint during the performance of peripheral vein cannulation (PVC) on their child. DESIGN/METHODS: Qualitative, semi-structured interviews were performed with seven parents and one close relative who had accompanied their 3-5-year-old child while the child resisted the medical procedure of PVC. The analysis was guided by symbolic interactionism and resulted in two themes. RESULTS: The first theme that emerged, "Negotiating What Quality of Performance Should be Expected", was based on 1) Parents expected child-friendly encounters, 2) Performance of PVC caused unexpected and unnecessary suffering for the child, and 3) Parents explained and excused the performance of PVC. The second theme: "Negotiating One's Own Role and Participation in a Child's Suffering During the Procedure", was based on 1) Parents desired to be acknowledged and approached for suggestions regarding ways to ease the trauma surrounding the procedure, 2) Parents expressed uncertainty regarding the consequences that the procedure would have for the children, and 3) Parents desired to play a protective role, and they tended to engage in self-criticism. CONCLUSION: When the PVC was less child-friendly, poorly planned and chaotic or performed with lacking skills, the parents became unwilling partners in the unnecessary suffering of the child. A practical implication is that if pediatric health care providers are aiming for the reduction of restraint, they must better understand parents' expectations and experiences and ensure that the use of restraint is used as the last resort.
RESUMO
The simulation centre is a key setting for the acquisition of practical skills. However, pedagogical underpinnings of skills instruction in this setting are not always well founded. This study aimed to explore student and teacher experiences with an educational intervention to enhance clinical skills learning in the first semester of nursing education. The study had an exploratory design, where qualitative data were collected in focus group interviews involving 18 students and four teachers. The participants had generally positive experiences of the intervention. The findings showed that organisation, time usage, an observer role, re-training and structured reflection enhanced systematic feedback by students. We conclude that an educational intervention based on theoretically sound learning tools and pedagogical principles improved students' skills acquisition and gave the teachers a common educational platform.

BACKGROUND: Preventive home visits (PHVs) are healthcare services aimed at promoting the health of home-dwelling older people and to support their abilities to live independently. To enhance effectiveness, studies that explore older persons' experiences of PHVs are needed. OBJECTIVE: To assess older persons' perceived benefits and opinions of a PHV service and explore associations between perceived benefits from PHV and relevant sociodemographic/health-related factors. THEORY: The study was based on a comprehensive understanding of health, as including objective health/disease, subjective health/well-being and coping ability. METHODS: A cross-sectional survey was administered during spring 2013 in a Norwegian municipality where nurses had offered annual PHVs to residents aged 75 years and older since 1999. We invited a stratified random sample of 393 PHV users to participate; of these, 161 volunteered. The main outcome variables in the questionnaire were perceived benefits from PHV. Logistic regression models were used to analyse the associations between each benefit and sociodemographic/health-related background variables. RESULTS: Approximately 39% of the respondents reported that PHVs added to their feelings of safety; 66% reported support for ability to live at home; 72% reported support for having a good life, 83% were satisfied with the service, and 90% stated that PHVs are important for older people. Each benefit was associated with different sociodemographic/health-related factors. Support for feelings of safety increased with age. More support for living at home was associated with poor physical health and not living alone. Those without children perceived more support for a good life. Satisfaction with PHV increased with increasing scores on the Life Orientation Scale. Persons with poor mental health and those not living alone more often perceived PHV as important. CONCLUSIONS: Annual, comprehensive PHVs to a general older population may support older persons' health and independence. Low response rate restricts the possibility to generalise the results.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationships that emerge amongst caregivers of persons with dementia and stroke when caregivers use written messages as their communication tool in a closed information and communication technology (ICT)-based support group. METHODS: An explorative design with a qualitative approach was used that applied systematic text condensation (STC) to analyse 173 written messages extracted from a web forum. RESULTS: Empathetic, empowering and familiar relationships emerged amongst peers of older caregivers when the caregivers used written messages as their communication tool. The empathetic relationship was characterised by sincerity and openness when the caregivers shared emotions related to caregiving. The empowering relationship reflected a fellowship based on solidarity influenced by a sense of optimism and a willingness to share knowledge to support one another in overcoming challenges. In the familiar relationship, the caregivers were thoughtful and good-humoured with one another and displayed an attitude of consideration towards one another, as in an extended family. PRACTICE IMPLICATION: The use of computer-mediated communication in health care service will change the context of establishing and maintaining interpersonal relationships. Therefore, greater knowledge regarding how the peers of caregivers interact with one another is vital so nurses may better support and educate ICT-based support groups.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To explore how critically ill patients treated according to a strategy of analgosedation experience and handle pain, other discomforts and wakefulness. BACKGROUND: Patients experience both pain and discomfort while in the intensive care unit. International guidelines recommend focused pain treatment and light sedation. An analgosedation protocol favouring pain management, light sedation and early mobilisation was implemented in our university hospital medical and surgical intensive care unit in Norway in 2014. The analgosedation approach may affect patients' experiences of the intensive care unit stay. DESIGN: Exploratory, descriptive design using semi-structured interviews. METHOD: Eighteen adult patients treated in intensive care unit >24 hr and receiving mechanical ventilation were interviewed 1-9 days after intensive care unit discharge. Ten patients were re-interviewed after 3 months. Data were analysed using the "systematic text condensation" approach. FINDINGS: Four main categories emerged from the analysis: "In discomfort, but rarely in pain," "Struggling to get a grip on reality," "Holding on" and "Handling emotionally trapped experiences." "Pain relieved, but still struggling" was the overarching theme. Analgosedation provided good pain relief, but patients still described frequent physical and psychological discomforts, in particular related to mechanical ventilation, not understanding what was going on, and experiences of delusions. To come to terms with their intensive care unit stay, patients needed to participate, trust in others and endure suffering. After hospital discharge, patients described both repression of experiences and searching for recognition of what they had gone through. RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: Despite good pain relief during analgosedation, other discomforts were commonly described. Critically ill patients still experience an intensive care unit stay as a traumatic part of their illness trajectory. Nurses need to attend carefully also to discomforts other than pain.

Learning practical nursing skills is an important part of the baccalaureate in nursing. However, many newly qualified nurses lack practical skill proficiency required to ensure safe patient care. The invasive skill peripheral vein cannulation (PVC) is particularly challenging to learn and perform. This study explored conditions influencing nursing students' learning and performance of the technical implementation of a PVC during their clinical placement period. A qualitative and descriptive case study design with two students in Norway practicing PVC during their clinical placement was conducted. One student who mastered the vein cannulation was compared with one student who did not. Data were collected in late 2012 using multiple data sources: semistructured interviews, ad hoc conversations, and video recordings. Video recordings of the two students' cannula implementations were used to help clarify and validate the descriptions and to identify gaps between what students said and what they did. Thematic analysis of the transcribed text data enabled identifying themes that influenced skill performance. There were two overall themes: individual and contextual conditions influencing the technical implementation of a peripheral vein cannula. These findings were evaluated in terms of Benner's work on scientific and practical knowledge, defined as "knowing that" and "knowing how."
RESUMO
The aim of this study was to explore nurses' and physicians' perspectives on and reasoning about the use of restraint during medical procedures on newly admitted preschoolers in somatic hospital care. We analysed qualitative data from individual interviews with a video recall session at the end with seven physicians and eight nurses. They had earlier participated in video recorded peripheral vein cannulations on preschool children. The data were collected between May 2012 and May 2013 at a paediatric hospital unit in Norway. The analysis resulted in three main themes: (1) disparate views on the concept of restraint and restraint use (2), ways to limit the use of physical restraint and its negative consequences, and (3) experience with the role of parents and their influence on restraint. Perspectives from both healthcare professions were represented in all the main themes and had many similarities. The results of this study may facilitate more informed and reflective discussions of restraint and contribute to higher awareness of restraint in clinical practice. Lack of guidance and scientific attention to restraint combined with conflicting interests and values among healthcare providers may result in insecurity, individual dogmatism, and a lack of shared discussions, language, and terminology.

Debriefing in simulation is a cornerstone of learning. However, in-depth studies examining simulation debriefing are scarce. This study explored four key debriefing attributes-feedback, reflection, knowledge development, and psychological safety-prior and subsequent to the implementation of a new pedagogical intervention in a pre-clinical scenario simulation course. The scenarios focused on patients with deteriorating conditions and took place at bachelor's nursing degree level. The new intervention for the debriefing sessions contained a detailed observation tool describing specific, correct nursing actions for deteriorating patients; video playback watched only by students acting as nurses, and debriefing organized into two sections. The study design was explorative. To generate data, 12 debriefing sessions were audio and video recorded in 2013 and 11 in 2014. Two student groups participated each year, comprising 16 and 10 students, respectively. Qualitative analysis was performed to examine the transcribed audio and video recordings. Relative to the 2013 cohort, the reflections of observers and the students acting as nurses were more assertive, and students' feedback was more specific and comprehensive in the 2014 cohort. Conducting in-depth studies examining debriefing is important to increase knowledge regarding the impact of pedagogical underpinnings on debriefing content and processes.

OBJECTIVE: Live kidney donation is generally viewed as a welcome treatment option for severe kidney disease. However, there is a disparity in the body of research on donor experiences and postdonation outcome, and lack of knowledge on long-term consequences described by the donors. This study was conducted to provide insight into donors' subjective meanings and interpretation of their experiences â¼10â years after donation. DESIGN: Qualitative explorative in-depth interviews. The sampling strategy employed maximum variation. Setting Oslo University Hospital is the national centre for organ transplantation and donation in Norway, and there are 26 local nephrology centres. PARTICIPANTS: 16 donors representing all parts of Norway who donated a kidney in 2001-2004 participated in the study. The interviews were analysed using an interpretative approach. RESULTS: The analysis resulted in 4 main themes; the recipient outcome justified long-term experiences, family dynamics-tension still under the surface, ambivalence-healthy versus the need for regular follow-up, and life must go on. These themes reflect the complexity of live kidney donation, which fluctuated from positive experiences such as pride and feeling privileged to adverse experiences such as altered family relationships or reduced health. CONCLUSIONS: Live kidney donors seemed to possess resilient qualities that enabled them to address the long-term consequences of donation. The challenge is to provide more uniform information about long-term consequences. In future research, resilient qualities could be a topic to explore in live donation.
