Four categories of patient participation in treatment and their linkage to decision-making in a structure of 81 models
Hausken, Kjell; Heggland, Liv-Helen (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2015-01)We clarify patient participation by developing a systematic structure of 34=81 models spanned out by three subcategories for each of four categories. Choosing a qualitative descriptive research design, and applying purposive ... -
Game theoretic analysis of two-period-dependent degraded multistate reliability systems
