TL;DR: To provide conditions for true patient participation, professionals need to recognize each patient's unique knowledge and respect the individual's description of his or her situation rather than just inviting the person to participate in decision making.

TL;DR: Findings suggest that health professionals need to embrace what patients describe as participation, which includes "being involved in a life situation" as defined by the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health.

TL;DR: Patients' experiences of participation in health care can vary and should therefore be an issue for dialogue between nurses and patients with CHF in nurse-led specialist clinics.

TL;DR: The issue of participation should be raised as a means of attaining concordance and to facilitate patient participation with education specifically tailored to the individual patient's needs.

TL;DR: This study aims to advance understanding about the contribution facilitation can make to implementing research findings into practice via extending current knowledge of facilitation as a process for translating research evidence into practice and evaluating the feasibility, effectiveness, and cost-effectiveness of two different models of fac facilitated in promoting the uptake of research evidence on continence management.
