Balancing standardisation and individualisation in transitional care pathways: a meta-ethnography of the perspectives of older patients, informal caregivers and healthcare professionals

Linda Aimee Hartford Kvael et al.

Summary: This article synthesizes the challenges faced by older patients, informal caregivers, and healthcare professionals in achieving high-quality transitional care. The analysis identified four themes representing tensions at the system, organization, and individual levels, based on competing assumptions regarding person-centered care-inspired individualization efforts and standardization requirements in transitional care. There is a need for a clearer understanding of the tension between standardization and individualization to ensure better healthcare quality for patients and more realistic working environments for healthcare professionals.

Jon Ivar Elstad et al.

Summary: This scoping review examines Nordic empirical studies on health inequality published in the Scandinavian Journal of Public Health from 2000 to 2021. The findings show that these studies provide valuable insights into a wide range of health and health-related inequalities in the Nordic countries.

Understanding and Responding to Health Literacy as a Social Determinant of Health

Don Nutbeam et al.

Summary: Evidence of a social gradient in health literacy has been found in all reported national population surveys. Health literacy is a determinant of health, but not a cure-all for health inequities. Improving the quality of health communication, developing transferable skills in accessing health information, and reaching disproportionately affected populations are key areas for future health literacy intervention research.
