【 摘 要 】

Abstract Aim To (a) explore how the diary contributes to patient motivation for monitoring self‐management and (b) explore the nurses' experience of how the diary supports the patients' self‐management after lung transplantation. Design A quantitative and qualitative study design. Methods Fifteen patients and four nurses participated. Data were analysed descriptively and thematically. Results This pilot study shows that the diary strengthens patients' self‐management in the first postoperative period. Nurses were confident that the patients were structured about self‐observation when using the diary.
