Vor dem Hintergrund des demografischen Wandels und damit einhergehender Neuausrichtung des Gesundheits- und Pflegesystems werden neue Konzepte zur Weiterentwicklung gesundheitlicher Primärversorgung benötigt. Ein vielversprechendes und in Ländern wie Kanada oder Finnland bereits seit langem etabliertes Konzept ist das des Community Health Nursings. Allerdings existierte das Konzept des Community Health Nursings in Deutschland bisher nicht.
Ziel des neugegründeten Lehrstuhls für Community Health Nursing (CHN) ist es daher, diese Entwicklungen maßgeblich mitzugestalten. Dabei werden die Rolle und Aufgaben der Profession Pflege im Kontext der Primärversorgung entwickelt und Möglichkeiten der Umsetzung aufgezeigt. Der Lehrstuhlinhaber Univ.-Prof. Dr. rer. medic. habil. Oliver Rudolf Herber vertritt das Fachgebiet "Community Health Nursing" (CHN) in Forschung und Lehre.
Im Rahmen von Forschungsaktivitäten soll der Einsatz der entsprechenden Innovationen untersucht werden. Die multiprofessionelle Zusammenarbeit spielt dabei eine herausragende Rolle. Die Förderung und Einbindung des wissenschaftlichen Nachwuchses in Forschung und Lehre liegt der Professur besonders am Herzen. Als Bürgeruniversität und im Sinne des "Patient and Public Involvment" (PPI) sollen Patientenvertreter in die Konzeptions-, Planungs- und Entwicklungsphase jedes neuen Forschungsprojekts einbezogen werden. Es wird eine enge Kollaboration mit den CHN Verbundpartnern angestrebt.

Inhaltlich konzentriert sich der Studiengang Community Health Nursing auf die folgenden drei Bereiche:
- die primäre Gesundheitsversorgung
- die Versorgung chronisch kranker Menschen und
- die gemeindeorientierte Versorgung
Dabei wird die gesamte Lebensspanne des Menschen mit ihren jeweiligen spezifischen Versorgungsbedürfnissen einbezogen. Es werden unterschiedliche vulnerable Zielgruppen in den verschiedenen Lebensphasen berücksichtigt. So werden die Studierenden auf unterschiedliche und vielfältige Versorgungsbereiche vorbereitet.
Self-care has an important role to play in patients with chronic conditions. The term self-care refers to specific activities performed with the intention of improving or restoring health and well-being, as well as treating or preventing disease. Self-care refers to the general health decisions people make about physical exercise, healthy eating, good hygiene, self-medication and avoiding health risks such as smoking or excessive drinking. The spectrum of self-care ranges from taking care of minor ailments to long-term conditions and rehabilitation. Individuals perform self-care alone or with support from their next of kin and/or professionals such as nurses or GPs. Enhancing self-care is a key concept of disease management for many types of chronic conditions. People with chronic conditions, their carers and family members are valued as co-producers of health. While self-care aligns well with the wish for greater patient autonomy there is also the risk of overburdening people. It needs to be recognised that self-care is not possible for everyone and that some people do not have family support available to help them. Thus, the aim of our research programme is to conduct cutting-edge research from the perspective of people with chronic conditions. We undertake rigorous research to shed light on wide-ranging self-care aspects relevant to their personal lives, and to provide an evidence base for ‘enhancing self-care’.
Mission statement
Our mission is to enable people with chronic diseases to engage in on-going self-care up to a level acceptable to them and to conduct cutting-edge research that is relevant and close to their personal lives with the aim of improving health and well-being.
Study: A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies exploring barriers and facilitators to self-care recommendations in heart failure patients
A meta-synthesis of qualitative studies exploring barriers and facilitators to self-care recommendations in heart failure patients (completed): Towards developing an evidence-based complex intervention to reduce hospital (re-)admissions (Mar 2015 – Jul 2016)
SUMMARY
Heart failure (HF) is a serious debilitating clinical syndrome that occurs when the pump action of the heart is unable to meet the body’s metabolic demands. There are an estimated 23 million people with HF worldwide. In 2006, the German Federal Office of Statistics reported 317.000 cases of HF requiring hospitalisation. The cost of illness caused by HF is estimated at 2.9 billion Euros. Despite improvements in treatment, international studies report that HF frequently requires admission to hospital. Many of the costs are attributed to hospitalisation. The majority of hospital visits could be prevented if more attention was placed on self-care. Despite international evidence supporting the positive outcomes related to HF self-care, patients frequently fail to adhere. Developing appropriate interventions to improve self-care is a key area for future research. Given the complexity of increasing adherence to HF self-care, a systematic synthesis of qualitative studies would enable researchers, practitioners and policy makers to benefit from the drawing together of a large body of qualitative research in this area which could result in the development of new interventions.
OBJECTIVES
To systematically review and synthesise multiple qualitative studies of barriers and facilitators to heart failure self-care recommendations in order to develop a robust theoretical and empirical basis for designing prospective, ‘patient-centered’, evidence-based interventions as recommended by the Medical Research Council (MRC) framework. This meta-synthesis of qualitative studies integrates and summarises the evidence that exists on barriers and facilitators to HF self-care. Based on the findings of this qualitative meta-synthesis, a step-wise approach is being followed to fully develop an evidence-based complex intervention with the aim of enhancing self-care recommendations in heart failure patients to reduce hospital (re-) admissions. This study has thus laid the foundation for Study #2.

Study: Developing a manual containing well-defined, theory-based behaviour change interventions to enhance self-care adherence in heart failure patients
Developing a manual containing well-defined, theory-based behaviour change interventions to enhance self-care adherence in heart failure patients (completed). Enhancing self-care adherence in heart failure patients by developing a manual containing well-defined and theory-based behaviour change interventions through the application of the COM-B behaviour model (ACHIEVE study, Feb 2019 – May 2021)
SUMMARY
Although international guidelines recommend on-going self-care as part of routine heart failure management, and despite evidence supporting the positive outcomes related to self-care, patients are frequently unable to adhere. Heart failure self-care can be modified and enhanced through behaviour change interventions (BCIs). However, previous self-management interventions have shown limited success in improving adherence to self-care because they were neither theory-based nor well defined, which precludes the identification of underlying causal mechanisms as well as transparency and reproducibility of the intervention. Thus, we developed an intervention manual containing theory-based BCIs that are well-defined using eight descriptors proposed to describe BCIs in a standardised way. The manual will serve as a blueprint, which then can be applied with confidence in a subsequent exploratory trial that seeks to enhance patients’ adherence to self-care. To manage the process of developing BCIs in a systematic fashion, the ACHIEVE work programme consisted of four stages. Behaviour change interventions are based on selected statements of findings that were derived by our research team in a recently completed qualitative meta-summary project (HE 7352/1-1) and findings from a quantitative meta-analysis published by Kessing et al. (2016). These two up-to-date comprehensive reviews synthesising qualitative and quantitative studies were used to extract factors (target behaviours) associated with self-care adherence / non-adherence (Stage 1). Extracted behaviours associated with adherence/non-adherence will then be mapped onto the ‘Capability, Opportunity, Motivation and Behaviour’ (COM-B) model, thus capturing the underlying mechanisms that are involved (Stage 2). To develop approaches for change, the ‘Taxonomy of Behaviour Change Techniques’ were used to allow effective mapping of the target behaviours (barriers to self-care) onto established behaviour change techniques to overcome barriers to self-care (Stage 3). Normalisation Process Theory (NPT) was then used to identify relevant contextual factors in Germany in order to overcome the difficulties of implementing theoretically derived interventions into everyday practice. NPT assists in identifying factors that promote/inhibit the effective and sustained incorporation of interventions into routine clinical work. Finally, a consensus development method (Delphi technique) was employed to fine-tune content and acceptability of the intervention manual (Stage 4) to increase the likelihood of successfully piloting and implementing future BCIs into the German health care system.
OBJECTIVES
Based on the 37 statements of findings from our qualitative meta-summary, we will develop theory-based BCIs suited to improve adherence to self-care behaviour in HF patients. Underlying factors that function as barriers to self-care will be identified and linked to a behaviour model to provide strategies for behaviour change techniques that are capable of modifying behaviour associated with non-adherence to self-care. Thus, the objective of this study is to design a feasible intervention and compile a manual containing well-defined, theory-based BCIs. To manage the process of developing BCIs in a systematic fashion, our work programme consists of four stages (Stage 1-4). The concept and outline of a future exploratory trial that aims to enhance self-care adherence in patients with HF will lay the ground for pilot testing the manual.
