Here some participants´ reflections about their learning outcomes:

During the today’s seminar I have learned the research design can be focused according to phases of illness trajectory. Also, we can identify the variety of symptom/clusters experience based on determinants of health. I also found out the nurses’ role in these activities.

I have learned how to use nursing theory in development of research questions for a studyor within it (for instance –in development of interview questions), and the use of PREMs and PROMs!
