- Purpose The purpose of this study is to understand the activities in nurses' work practices in relation to the design process of a self-monitoring application. Design/methodology/approach A design ethnographic approach was applied in this study. Findings To solve the problem of translating highly qualitative phenomena, such as pain, into the particular abstract features of a self-monitoring application, design participants had to balance these two aspects by managing complexity. In turn, the nurses' work practices have changed because it now involves a new activity based on a different logic than the nurses' traditional work practices. Originality/value This study describes a new activity included in nurses' work practices when the nurses became part of a design process. This study introduces a novel way on how to gain a deeper understanding of existing professional practice through a detailed study of activities taking place in a design process. This study explores the possible implications for nurses' professional practices when they participate in a self-monitoring application design process.

- Aims: The aims of the study was to reveal young carers views of design of a web-base support system directed to them and to reveal differences between their views and the views of project representatives, in a participatory design process. Methods: Eight young people, 17-24, close to and supporting someone with mental illness were involved in either a work or a test group. The work group participated in video recorded design meetings with representatives of the project. Content analysis and Dewey's concept of public were applied on the data. The test group worked from their homes and data were collected via test forms. Data from the test group coherent to the content of the design meetings were added as supplement. Results: Four resulting themes were revealed, constituting key-parts in the design of the WBSS: Communicating the message, ideational working principles, considerations on user interaction, and user interface. Furthermore decisive differences between the views of participants and project representatives were found. Participants view of the user was a person that had a usefulness perspective and the object for support was primarily the person with mental illness. The project representatives' view of the user was a person that had a short- and long-term self-care perspective and the object of support was primarily him-/herself. Conclusion: The design of a WBSS for young carers should consider four key-parts, but early user involvement and critical reflection in the PD process itself may be crucial to discern differences between designers and user, not the least when their different publics overlap.

- Aim: The aim of the study was to reveal young carers’ views of design of a web-based support system (WBSS) directed to them and the differences between their views and the views of project representatives (PRs), in a participatory design process. Methods: Eight young people, 17–24 years, were involved in either a work or a test group. The work group participated in video-recorded design meetings with representatives of the project. Content analysis and Dewey’s concept of public were applied on the data. The test group worked from their homes and data were collected via test forms and used as supplemental data. Results: Four themes were revealed, constituting key parts in the design of the WBSS: Communicating the message, Ideational working principles, User interaction and User interface. Furthermore, decisive differences between the views of participants and PRs were found. Conclusion: The four key parts should be considered in a WBSS directed to young carers. The study also suggests that early user involvement and critical reflection in the design process itself may be crucial to discern differences in perspective between designers and users.
