    Abstract Data on drug transfer into human breast milk are sparse. This study aimed to quantify concentrations of cetirizine and levocetirizine in breast milk and to estimate drug exposure to infants. Breastfeeding women at least 8 weeks postpartum and using cetirizine or its pure (R)-enantiomer levocetirizine were eligible to participate. Breast milk samples were collected at six predefined times during a dose interval (0, 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 h after drug intake) at steady state. Infant drug exposure was estimated by calculating the absolute infant dose (AID) and the weight-adjusted relative infant dose (RID). In total, 32 women were eligible for final inclusion, 31 women using cetirizine and one woman using levocetirizine. Means of the individual maximum and average cetirizine milk concentrations were 41.0 and 16.8 μg/L, respectively. Maximum concentrations occurred on average 2.4 h after intake, and the mean half-life in milk was 7.0 h. Estimated AID and RID for cetirizine in a day were 2.5 μg/kg and 1.9%, respectively. The corresponding values for levocetirizine were 1.1 μg/kg and 1.9%. No severe adverse events were reported. Our findings demonstrate that the transfer of cetirizine and levocetirizine into breast milk is low and compatible with breastfeeding.

    Abstract Objectives: To review the current knowledge on living with bodily changes in hormone refractory prostate cancer (HRPC), treatment options, and common symptoms, and suggestions for improving our understanding of the experience of HRPC.
    Data source: Existing literature, research, and clinical experience.
    Conclusion: Alleviation of bodily problems and providing care for men with HRPC is of utmost importance. It is important to talk about their situation and everyday life before asking about expected changes and problems related to the disease and its treatments.
    Implications for nursing practice: A preliminary framework is suggested for understanding the experience of HRPC from a nursing perspective. These results support an existing body of knowledge emphasizing the paramount importance of symptom alleviation, but indicate another motivation, that of freeing time, when time is so limited. The importance of dialogue between patients and health care providers is highlighted.

    Abstract Sweden has no systematic advance care planning (ACP), nor legal recognition of end-of-life proxies. We describe our experiences and reflections from a participatory action research process, aiming at developing and initially using a conversation-based, structured ACP approach among community-dwelling, older adults in Sweden. Eco-mapping and DöBra cards were used with 65 people to catalyze discussions on preferences for the end-of-life. We found great individual variation in both Eco-map depictions of social networks and prioritization of the 37 DöBra card items. The DöBra cards were concluded to be a viable tool for stimulating person-centered conversations on preferences for future end-of-life care.

    Abstract Purpose: Hospital organizational features related to registered nurses' (RNs') practice environment are often studied using quantitative measures. These are however unable to capture nuances of experiences of the practice environment from the perspective of individual RNs. The aim of this study is therefore to investigate individual RNs' experiences of their work situation in cancer care in Swedish acute care hospitals.
    Methods: This study is based on a qualitative framework analysis of data derived from an open-ended question by 200 RNs working in specialized or general cancer care hospital units, who responded to the Swedish RN4CAST survey on nurse work environment. Antonovsky's salutogenic concepts "meaningfulness", "comprehensibility", and "manageability" were applied post-analysis to support interpretation of results.
    Results: RNs describe a tension between expectations to uphold safe, high quality care, and working in an environment where they are unable to influence conditions for care delivery. A lacking sense of agency, on individual and collective levels, points to organizational factors impeding RNs' use of their competence in clinical decision-making and in governing practice within their professional scope.
    Conclusions: RNs in this study appear to experience work situations which, while often described as meaningful, generally appear neither comprehensible nor manageable. The lack of an individual and collective sense of agency found here could potentially erode RNs' sense of meaningfulness and readiness to invest in their work.

    Abstract Purpose: This article explores experiences of the acute-care environment as a setting for end-of-life (EoL) care from the perspective of family members of a dying person.
    Method: We used participant-produced photographs in conjunction with follow-up interviews with nine family members to persons at the EoL, cared for in two acute-care settings.
    Results: The interpretive description analysis process resulted in three constructed themes-Aesthetic and un-aesthetic impressions, Space for privacy and social relationships, and Need for guidance in crucial times. Aspects of importance in the physical setting related to aesthetics, particularly in regard to sensory experience, and to a need for enough privacy to facilitate the maintenance of social relationships. Interactions between the world of family members and that of professionals were described as intrinsically related to guidance about both the material and immaterial environment at crucial times.
    Conclusion: The care environment, already recognized to have an impact in relation to patients, is concluded to also affect the participating family members in this study in a variety of ways.

    Abstract Background: Just as pain medications aim to relieve physical suffering, supportive surrounding for death and dying may facilitate well-being and comfort. However, little has been written of the experience of or preferences for settings for death and dying.
    Aim: We investigate preferences for and reflections about settings for end-of-life (EoL) in an international sample of museum visitors.
    Methods: Data derive from a project teaming artists and craftspeople together to create prototypes of space for difficult conversations in EoL settings. These prototypes were presented in a museum exhibition, "Room for Death", in Stockholm in 2012. As project consultants, we contributed a question to the public viewing the exhibition: "How would you like it to be around you when you are dying?" and analysed responses with a phenomenographic approach.
    Results: Five-hundred twelve responses were obtained from visitors from 46 countries. Responses were categorised in the following inductively- derived categories of types of deaths: The "Familiar", "Larger-than life", "Lone", "Mediated" "Calm and peaceful", "Sensuous", "'Green'", and "Distanced" death. Responses could relate to one category or be composites uniting different categories in individual combinations.
    Conclusion: These data provide insight into different facets of contemporary reflections about death and dying. Despite the selective sample, the findings give reason to consider how underlying assumptions and care provision in established forms for EoL care may differ from people's preferences. This project can be seen as an example of innovative endeavours to promote public awareness of issues related to death and dying, within the framework of health-promoting palliative care.

    Abstract Just as pain medications aim to relieve physical suffering, supportive surrounding for death and dying may facilitate well-being and comfort. However, little has been written of the experience of or preferences for the surroundings in which death and dying take place. In this study, we aim to complement our research from perspectives of patients, family members and staff, with perspectives from an international sample of the general public. Data derives from a project teaming artists and craftspeople together to create prototypes of space for difficult conversations in end-of-life (EoL) settings. These prototypes were presented in a museum exhibition, "Room for Death", in Stockholm in 2012. As project consultants, palliative care researchers contributed a question to the public viewing the exhibition, to explore their reflections: "How would you like it to be around you when you are dying?" Five-hundred and twelve responses were obtained from visitors from 46 countries. While preliminary analysis pointed to many similarities in responses across countries, continued analysis with a phenomenographic approach allowed us to distinguish different foci related to how preferences for surroundings for EoL were conceptualized. Responses were categorized in the following inductively-derived categories: The familiar death, The 'larger-than life' death, The lone death, The mediated death, The calm and peaceful death, The sensuous death, The 'green' death, and The distanced death. The responses could relate to a single category or be composites uniting different categories in individual combinations, and provide insight into different facets of contemporary reflections about death and dying. Despite the selective sample, these data give reason to consider how underlying assumptions and care provision in established forms for end-of-life care may differ from people's preferences. This project can be seen as an example of innovative endeavors to promote public awareness of issues related to death and dying, within the framework of health-promoting palliative care.
