    Scandinavian Online Cancer Information as Expressions of Governmentality2023In: Advances in Nursing Science, ISSN 0161-9268, E-ISSN 1550-5014, Vol. 46, p. 293-305Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We compared online distributed information provided to patients with cancer in Scandinavian countries through the lens of governmentality. A secondary comparative qualitative analysis was conducted. Discourses in online patient information showed differences in governmentality techniques across the countries: Norway used a paternalist approach, Denmark an educative approach, and Sweden an individualistic approach and expected the patients to make the “right” decisions. Online information for patients with cancer in Denmark and Norway showed high professional and health care system involvement, whereas in Sweden, there was high patient involvement. There was almost no use of the person-centered approach among the online discourses

    Determinants of social inequalities in cardiovascular disease among Iranian patients2018Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Background and objectives: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the single largest cause of mortality in the world. Similar to other health issues, CVD is generally affected either by individual risk factors, which may influence the risk for developing an illness or its complications, or by social indicators (social determinants of health). There is evidence from developed countries which shows that the so-called "upstream factors"—including social determinants such as political, social, spiritual, cultural, and economic factors—may affect the prevalence and incidence of CVD. Scarce evidence from studies in low- and middle-income countries also suggests that social factors may affect the distribution of CVD across population groups. However, there is a dearth of such data in Iran, where only a few small-sizedstudies have focused on the social determinants of health. Therefore, the present thesis sought to fill this gap by assessing the effects of socioeconomic status (SES) on the distribution of CVD and the relevant inequalities within the Iranian context.

    Methods: This thesis is based on four studies, which used data from the Tehran Heart Center’s Databases. In Study I, a total of 44,820 patients who underwent coronary angiography at Tehran Heart Center between 2005 and 2010 were recruited. Then, their pre- and post-procedural data—including demographics, CVD risk factors, symptoms, and laboratory tests—were compared between men and women. In Study II, 6,246 patients with acutecoronary syndrome who were hospitalized between March 2004 and August 2011 were included and, based on their education and their employment status, were divided into high- and low-SES groups. Thereafter, the effect of SES on the in-hospital death of the patients was evaluated. In Study III, 20,165 patients with documented coronary artery disease who underwent coronary angiography at Tehran Heart Center were enrolled and CVD risk factors and severity (measured by the Gensini score) were assessed among the six major Iranian ethnic groups. In Study IV, 9,088 patients with acute coronary syndrome who were hospitalized at Tehran Heart Center between May 2007and June 2014 were recruited and the association between in-hospital death due to acute coronary syndrome and place of residence (rural/urban) was assessed using logistic regression adjusted for potential confounders.

    Results: In this thesis, the data analyses were based on the hypothesis that there is a potential association between the different socioeconomic indicators and the selected cardiovascular outcomes. In Study I, among the recruited participant, 25,363 men and 11,995 women had coronary artery disease and the women not only were significantly older, less educated, and more overweight but also had higher blood levels of triglyceride, cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, high-density lipoprotein, and fasting blood sugar than the men. Moreover, hypertension and diabetes mellitus showed the strongest association in the women with coronary artery disease (OR=3.45, 95% CI: 3.28to 3.61 and OR=2.37, 95% CI: 2.26 to 2.48, respectively). In addition, the frequency of post-procedural recommendations for non-invasive procedures was higher in the women than in the men (20.1% vs 18.6%; P<0.001). In StudyII, of the 6,246 recruited patients with acute coronary syndrome, 3,290individuals were considered low-SES and 2,956 high-SES individuals. In-hospital death occurred in 79 (1.26%) patients: 1.9% in the low-SES and 0.6% in the high-SES groups. After adjustment for the possible cofounders, our multivariate analysis demonstrated a significant effect of the patients’ SES on their in-hospital death and a lower in-hospital mortality rate was shown in the high-SES patients (OR=0.30, 95% CI: 0.09 to 0.98; P=0.046). In Study III, the Fars (8.7%) and Gilak (8.6%) ethnic groups had the highest frequency of having at least four simultaneous risk factors. Additionally, the mean Gensini score was lowest in the Lurs (67.5±52.8) and highest among the Gilaks (77.1±55.9). The multivariable regression analysis indicated that the Gilaks showed the worst CVD severity (β: 0.056, 95% CI: 0.009 to 0.102; P=0.018), followed by the Turks (β: 0.032, 95% CI: 0.005 to 0.059; P=0.020), and the lowest CVD severity, was detected in the Lurs (β: -0.087, 95% CI: -0.146 to -0.027;P=0.004). Study IV showed that while smoking (P=0.002), positive family history of coronary artery disease (P=0.003), higher body mass index (P=0.013),and hyperlipidemia (P=0.026) were more prevalent in the urban patients, the rural patients showed lower educational levels (P<0.001) and higher frequency of unemployment (P=0.009). Meanwhile, in-hospital death occurred in 135 (1.5%) patients: 125 (1.5%) urban and 10 (1.2%) rural. To adjust the effects of the possible confounders, we utilized the Firth regression model, which showed no significant difference regarding in-hospital death betweenthe rural and urban patients (OR=1.57, 95% CI: 0.376 to 7.450; P=0.585).

    Conclusions: The aim of this thesis was to investigate the effects of social determinants (particularly SES) on CVD and its modifiable risk factors among Iranian patients. Results showed that medical treatment for CVD was more recommended (by treating physicians) to the women than the men, and the low-SES patients with acute coronary syndrome were more likely to die in the hospital than their high-SES counterparts. In addition, the thesis found heterogeneity in the distribution of the traditional risk factors for CVD as well as CVD severity in the major Iranian ethnic groups. Further, there were no differences concerning the in-hospital death rates due to acute coronary syndrome between the urban and rural patients after adjustment for the potential confounders.

    Mortality from Acute Coronary Syndrome: Does Place of Residence Matter?2022In: Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, ISSN 1735-8620, E-ISSN 2008-2371, Vol. 17, no 2, p. 56-61Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Current evidence shows inequality in the outcomes of rural and urban patients treated at their place of residence. This study compared in-hospital mortality between rural and urban patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) to find whether there were differences in the outcome and received treatment. Methods: Between May 2007 and January 2018, patients admitted with ACS were included. The patients’ demographic, clinical, and laboratory data, as well as their in-hospital medical courses, were recorded. The association between place of residence (rural/ urban) and in-hospital mortality due to ACS was evaluated using logistic regression adjusted for potential confounders. Results: Of 9088 recruited patients (mean age =61.30±12.25 y; 5557 men [61.1%]), 838 were rural residents. A positive family history of coronary artery disease (P=0.003), smoking (P=0.002), and hyperlipidemia (P=0.026), as well as a higher body mass index (P=0.013), was seen more frequently in the urban patients, while the rural patients had lower education levels (P<0.001) and higher unemployment rates (P=0.009). In-hospital mortality occurred in 135 patients (1.5%): 10 rural (1.2%) and 125 urban (1.5%) patients (P=0.465). The Firth regression model, used to adjust the effects of possible confounders, showed no significant difference concerning in-hospital mortality between the rural and urban patients (OR, 1.57; 95% CI, 0.376 to 7.450; P=0.585). Conclusion: This study found no significant differences in receiving proper treatment and in-hospital mortality between ru-ral and urban patients with ACS.

    Effects of climate change and maternal morality: Perspective from case studies in the rural area of Bangladesh2019In: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, ISSN 1661-7827, E-ISSN 1660-4601, Vol. 16, no 23, article id 4594Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    This study explored the community perception of maternal deaths influenced by natural disaster (flood), and the practice of maternal complications during natural disaster among the rural population in Bangladesh. It also explored the challenges faced by the community for providing healthcare and referring the pregnant women experiencing complications during flood disaster. Three focus group discussions (FGDs) and eight in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted in the marginalized rural communities in the flood-prone Khaliajhuri sub-district, Netrakona district, Bangladesh. Flood is one of the major risk factors for influencing maternal death. Pregnant women seriously suffer from maternal complications, lack of antenatal checkup, and lack of doctors during flooding. During the time of delivery, it is difficult to find a skilled attendant, and referring the patient with delivery complications to the healthcare facility. Boats are the only mode of transport. The majority of maternal deaths occur on the boats during transfer from the community to the hospital. Rural people feel that the maternal deaths influenced by natural disaster are natural phenomena. Pre-preparation is needed to support pregnant women during disasters. There is unawareness of maternal health, related care, and complications during disasters among local health service providers and volunteers.

    Perceptions and practices on newborn care and managing complications at rural communities in Bangladesh: a qualitative study2021In: BMC Pediatrics, E-ISSN 1471-2431, Vol. 21, article id 168Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Community misperception on newborn care and poor treatment of sick newborn attributes to neonatal death and illness severity. Misperceptions and malpractices regarding neonatal care and neonatal complications are the leading causes of neonatal deaths in Bangladesh. The study was conducted to explore neonatal care’s perceptions and practices and manage complications among Bangladesh’s rural communities.

    Methods: A qualitative study was conducted in Netrakona district of Bangladesh from April to June 2015. Three sub-districts (Upazilas) including Purbadhala, Durgapur and Atpara of Netrakona district were selected purposively. Five focus group discussions (FGDs) and twenty in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted in the rural community. Themes were identified through reading and re-reading the qualitative data and thematic analysis was performed.

    Results: Community people were far behind, regarding the knowledge of neonatal complications. Most of them felt that the complications occurred due to lack of care by the parents. Some believed that mothers did not follow the religious customs after delivery, which affected the newborns. Many of them followed the practice of bathing the newborns and cutting their hair immediately after birth. The community still preferred to receive traditional treatment from their community, usually from Kabiraj (traditional healer), village doctor, or traditional birth attendant. Families also refrained from seeking treatment from the health facilities during neonatal complications. Instead, they preferred to wait until the traditional healers or village doctors recommended transferring the newborn.

    Conclusions: Poor knowledge, beliefs and practices are the key barriers to ensure the quality of care for the newborns during complications. The communities still depend on traditional practices and the level of demand for facility care is low. Appropriate interventions focusing on these issues might improve the overall neonatal mortality in Bangladesh.

    Att vårda patienter med kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom: Sjuksköterskans upplevelse2016Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund:

    Kronisk obstruktiv sjukdom är en allvarlig, icke reversibel sjukdom som ses som den tredje största dödsorsaken i världen och försämrar individens dagliga liv. Sjuksköterskan är viktig i samarbetet med patienten för att uppnå en bra vård samt för att upptäcka och förhindra en dålig nutritionsstatus och minska risken för negativ sjukdomsutveckling. Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskans upplevelse av att vårda patienter med KOL. Metod: En litteraturöversikt uppbyggd på 12 vetenskapliga artiklar. Litteratursökningen gjordes i PubMed och Cinahl. Artiklarna som inkluderats var av kvalitativ och kvantitativ design. Resultat: Sjuksköterskan upplevde osäkerhet och otillräcklighet i mötet med patienterna. De upplevde att skapa en tillitsfull relation var viktig för att kunna ge rätt vård och på så sätt kunna motivera patienterna till att förstå vikten av nutrition. Diskussion: Det är viktigt att öka sjuksköterskans egen kunskap för att kunna upprätthålla patientsäkerheten. Travelbees omvårdnadsteori kan i stort sett användas i mötet och vårdarbetet av patienter med KOL. Slutsats: Bättre kunskap om sjukdomen ger sjuksköterskan bättre förutsättning att vårda patienter med kronisk obstruktiv sjukdom och minska sjukhusinläggningar och besök.

    Egenvård vid hjärtsvikt: En Litteraturöversikt ur personens perspektiv.2024Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: Hjärtsvikt är en växande folksjukdom över världen. Detta utgör en betydande börda för personens livskvalitet och hälsa. För att främja en optimal vård är egenvård som är baserad på Orems Omvårnadsteori avgörande för att effektivt hantera tillståndet och bibehålla en balans mellan behov och förmågan till självständigt utföra egenvård.

    Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva vuxna personers erfarenheter av egenvård vid hjärtsvikt i öppenvård.

    Metod: Litteratursökning genomfördes i Cinahl och PubMed. Översikten inkluderade 18 kvalitativa artiklar och två med mixad metod, med fokus på den kvalitativa delen. Graneheim och Lundmans (2004) analysmetod tillämpades.

    Resultat: I resultat framkom fyra huvudkategorier och nio subkategorier. Huvudkategorierna är (1) ”Att anpassa sig till ett nytt liv”, (2) ”Emotionell påverkan på egenvården”, (3) ”Stöd i egenvården”, (4) ”Kunskap och information om egenvård”.

    Diskussion: Det lyfts fram vikten av livstilförändringar för effektiv egenvård vid hjärtsvikt i linje med Orems omvårdnadsteori. Utmaningar med implementering och integration i det vardagliga livet påverkar behandlingsresultat och livskvalitet. Stödet från familj, sjukvård och digitala verktyg är avgörande och personcentrerad stöd kan förbättra motivationen.

    Slutsats: Vidare forskning behövs för att undersöka motivationsfaktorer som påverkar följsamhet till livsstilsförändringar och egenvård hos personer med hjärtsvikt.

    Kommunikation med patienter inom palliativ vård.: En litteraturöversikt av sjuksköterskans upplevelser.2023Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: Kommunikation inom palliativa vård är en av de mestbetydelsefulla uppgifter för sjuksköterskor. Patienter inom den palliativavården kan uppleva fyra dimensioner (fysiska, psykiska , sociala ochexistentiella). De kan ha existentiella frågor som förväntar sig att få svar påfrån sjuksköterskor. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt var attbelysa sjuksköterskans upplevelse av kommunikation med patienter inomden palliativa vården. Metod: Arbetet utfördes som en litteraturöversikt.Den baserades på tretton vetenskapliga artiklar och analyserade enligtGraneheim och Lundmans kvalitativa innehållsanalys samt Fribergsanalyssteg. Resultat: I resultatet inkluderades 12 artiklar, varav niokvalitativa artiklar, en mixedmetod och tre kvantitativa artiklar.Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskor upplevde att ha tidsbrist, språkligabarriärer, brist på erfarenhet och brist på kunskaper begränsade dem att hagod kommunikation med patienterna. Sjuksköterskor upplevde att hasamtalserfarenheter, en god utbildning och tillräckligt med tid varmeningsfullt för en god kommunikation. Sjuksköterskorna fick möjligheteratt skapa en vårdrelation med patienterna samt kunde hjälpa dem medpsykiska, sociala och existentiella behoven. Diskussion: Det var viktig attsjuksköterskor skulle ha samtalserfarenheter, en god utbildning ochtillräckligt med tid för att driva tydlig och ärlig kommunikation. Godkommunikation skapar möjligheter för sjuksköterskor attdriva personcentrerad vård och god vård. God kommunikation kundehjälpa patienterna att ha bra förståelse angående sin nuvarande situation,öka deras förmåga att kunna hantera och delta i den vårdprocessen.Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor behöver olika resurser för att driva en godkommunikation som sin tur kan leda till personcentrerad vård och godvård. De resurserna kan vara att ha tillräckligt med tid, att ha samtalserfarenheter och en god utbildning.

    Staff and student perspectives and effects of positive behaviour support: a literature review2024In: Educational Psychology in Practice, ISSN 0266-7363, E-ISSN 1469-5839, Vol. 40, no 2, p. 125-140Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Positive behaviour support (PBS) has been receiving increased attention recently but has not been studied from the perspectives of staff and students in Sweden. This article presents an integrative and systematic literature review focusing on international research concerning staff and student perspectives on the effects of PBS. The aim was to describe staff and student perspectives regarding PBS and its effects, between 2000 and 2022. The findings indicate that there is a lack of empirical research involving the combination of staff and student perspectives of the effects of PBS. The existing research is mostly from elementary schools age range 6 to 13. However, the findings suggest that there have been several studies that aim to gain a better understanding of teachers&amp;#x2019; and students&amp;#x2019; perspectives of how PBS enhances student social relationships, lowers problem behaviour and increases academic performance. According to the current findings, the success of the PBS approach is greatly influenced by the efficacy of execution and the leadership of the schools support for implementation.

    Sense of coherence of reindeer herders and other Samis in comparison to other Swedish citizens2013In: International Journal of Circumpolar Health, ISSN 1239-9736, E-ISSN 2242-3982, Vol. 72, no 1, p. Art. no. 20633-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background. Samis are indigenous people in north Europe. In the territory called Sapmi (Lapland), reindeer herding is the traditional base for the Sami economy. The relation between living conditions and positive health of the Swedish Samis has been sparsely studied. As health is closely linked to sense of coherence (SOC), an understanding of the background factors to SOC may contribute knowledge that might be useful in promoting living conditions and health. Methods. The study examines relations between the level of SOC and background factors from surveys in a Sami population (n = 613) in comparison to a non-Sami population (n = 525) in Sweden, and in comparison between 2 subsamples of Samis, that is, herders and non-herders. Results. There are more similarities than differences between the Sami and non-Sami populations. However, dividing the Sami population, reindeer herders had significantly lower SOC, and in specific the subcomponent manageability, that is, less ability to use available resources to meet different demands in life, compared to non-herders. Conclusions. In addition to age and health, predictors of SOC are related to the life form of reindeer husbandry and the belonging to the herding community.

    Patientens upplevelse av att leva med en implanterbar defibrillator (ICD): - en litteraturöversikt2013Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: En implanterbar defibrillator (ICD) har till uppgift att återställa hjärtats rytm vid en arytmi. Implantationerna ökar stadigt, studier har dock visat att sjuksköterskor inte upplever sig ha tillräckligt med kunskaper om ICD:n och de upplevelser som patienter kan väntas få efter implantation. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelse av att leva med en implanterbar defibrillator. Metod: Uppsatsen är gjord som en litteraturöversikt med 15 kvalitativa vetenskapliga artiklar inkluderade. Artikelsökningar gjordes i databaserna Cinahl, Pubmed och PsycInfo. I analysen identifierades meningsenheter som delades in i olika teman och underteman utifrån likheter och olikheter. Resultat: Patienterna visade sig ha dubbla känslor gentemot ICD:n, upplevelser som identifierades var: besvikelse, tacksamhet, rädsla/ångest, trygghet, känna sig begränsad och acceptans. Diskussion: Några patienter upplevde bland annat ett bristande stöd från hälsopersonalen, det är viktigt att sjuksköterskan försöker förstå patientens perspektiv för att kunna vara ett så bra stöd som möjligt. Slutsats: Studien bidrog med kunskap om vilka olika upplevelser ICD-patienter kan ha efter en implantation. Eventuella orsaker till upplevelserna skulle kunna ligga till grund för framtida studier.

    Analys av gjorda och insläppta mål över matchtid i herrallsvenskan i fotboll2011Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Den ultimata indikatorn på ett fotbollslags prestation är matchresultatet som beror på balansen av gjorda och insläppta mål. Syftet med studien var att analysera de allsvenska herrlagens målproduktion under säsongen 2010. Detta för att undersöka de svenska elitlagens förekomst av gjorda och insläppta mål över matchtid. Ytterligare syfte var att undersöka om framgångsrika och mindre framgångsrika lag uppvisar olika mönster gällande dessa parametrar. Samtliga 240 matcher, totalt 600 mål, från säsongen 2010 studerades på förekomst av mål över matchtid. Målen kategoriserades lagvis i åtta stycken tidsperioder. Lagen delades även in i tre olika grupper beroende på tabellplacering. Resultaten baserat på samtliga lag visade signifikant större andel gjorda mål under den andra halvleken jämfört med den första, 55,2% mot 44,8% (p<0,05). Inga signifikanta skillnader mellan 15-minutersperioderna kunde ses. Däremot sågs signifikanta skillnader mellan 15-minutersperioderna inom de olika grupperna. Topplagen uppvisade signifikant större andel insläppta mål under period 76-90min jämfört med 31-45min, 46-60min och 61-75min (p<0,05). Mittenlagen uppvisade signifikant mindre andel insläppta mål under period 76-90min jämfört med 31-45min, 46-60min och 61-75min (p<0,05). Sammanfattningsvis, svenska herr-elitlag följde en ökande trend av gjorda mål över matchtid med större andel mål under andra halvleken jämfört med första. Resultaten antydde även att topplagen uppvisade hög resultatmässig prestation genom hela matcherna medan bottenlagen uppvisade låg prestation och mittenlagen varierande prestation, vilket delvis förklarar varför grupperna placerar sig i toppen, botten och mitten av tabellen.

    Vårdpersonalens erfarenheter av att vårda kvinnor som genomgått könsstympning: En litteraturöversikt2016Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund:

    Kvinnlig könsstympning innebär en partiell eller total borttagning av de yttre kvinnliga könsorganen av icke medicinska skäl. Könsstympning är koncentrerad till 30 länder i Afrika, Mellanöstern samt Asien. Mer än 200 miljoner av de kvinnor och flickor som lever idag har genomgått könsstympning. Det finns många kulturella anledningar till varför kvinnor könsstympas. Det varierar från kultur till kultur. Vissa gör det för att kvinnan ska bli ren, vacker och betraktas som en moralisk kvinna som hennes familj kan vara stolt att senare lämna över till en annan familj för giftemål. Det finns fyra olika typer av ingrepp som alla kan leda till komplikationer. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturöversikt är att belysa vårdpersonalens erfarenheter av att vårda kvinnor som genomgått könsstympning. Metod: Metoden har varit litteraturöversikt grundad på sex kvalitativa artiklar, sju kvantitativa artiklar och två artiklar med kombination av båda metoderna. Artiklarna har hämtats från tre olika databaser; Pub med, Cinahl och Academic Search. Resultat: Två huvudkategorier: komplexiteten i omvårdnaden vid mötet med främmande kulturer samt behov av kunskap och utbildning. Vårdpersonal ansåg att de har brist på kunskap. Mötet med kvinnor som genomgått könsstympning och deras familjer var komplicerad. Delvis beror detta på språkproblem delvis på kulturella skillnader. Diskussion: Både vårdpersonal och patienter kände sig säkra när vårdpersonalen var välutbildat och hade god kunskap. Resultatet har diskuterats utifrån Chios (2008) omvårdnads-teori "the theory of cultural marginality". Slutsats: Genom att införa formell utbildning, både teoretisk och praktisk tryggheten öka hos vårdpersonalen och det påverkar vården positivt. De kvinnor som genomgått könsstympning kommer även träffa annan vårdpersonal än barnmorskor. Därför anser författarna att det behövs mer forskning om sjuksköterskors och annan vårdpersonals erfarenheter av att vårda dessa kvinnor.

    Mental health status of adolescents in-home quarantine: a multi-region, cross-sectional study during COVID-19 pandemic in Bangladesh2022In: BMC Psychology, E-ISSN 2050-7283, Vol. 10, no 1, article id 116Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: The population's mental and physical health worldwide are currently at risk due to the coronavirus pandemic. We evaluated the mental health status of the adolescents trapped indoors because of the precautionary restrictions and prolonged closure of the educational institutions. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted on adolescents from multiple urban and semi-urban areas of Bangladesh from 22 January to 3 February 2021. A self-reported online questionnaire containing questions regarding sociodemographic factors, home quarantine-related factors and mental health symptoms was distributed to collect data. Descriptive analysis, bivariate and multivariable logistic regressions were performed to measure the association of the variables. Cronbach's alpha was estimated to present the internal consistency of the scales. Results: A total of 322 adolescents (aged 12–19) with a mean age of 16.00 years (SD = 1.84) responded to the invitation. 54.97% (n = 177) of them were male, and the participants were predominantly urban residents (87.27%, n = 281). We observed varying degrees of depression in 67.08%, anxiety in 49.38% and stress in 40.68% of the participants according to DASS-21. Age, sex, education, mother's occupation, total monthly income, playing sports, doing household chores, going out of home, watching television, using the internet, attending online classes, changing food habits, and communicating with friends had a positive significant association with mental health burdens. Conclusion: Home quarantine has a noticeable adverse impact on the mental health of teenagers. Psychological evaluations and counselling via online and offline programs are essential to improve adolescents' declining mental health conditions.

    Self-help and self-help groups for people with long-lasting health problems or mental health difficulties in a Nordic context: A review2011In: Scandinavian Journal of Public Health, ISSN 1403-4948, E-ISSN 1651-1905, Vol. 39, no 8, p. 813-822Article, review/survey (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Aim: The aim of this review is to provide systematic knowledge of research from Nordic countries about the meaning of self-help and self-help groups when these are used as a concept or method addressing issues related to long-lasting health problems or mental health difficulties. Methods: Included were studies conducted in the Nordic countries that were published between January 1999 and September 2009. These studies investigated self-help and self-help groups addressing issues related to long-lasting health problems. Results: A total of 83 publications met the inclusion criteria. Four major characteristics of self-help were found to be present in the publications: self-help as an intrapsychological process, self-help as an interpsychological or group process, self-help as a coping, individual learning or empowerment process, and self-help as an alternative or complement to medical treatment. Of the 83 studies, 72 publications used a professional treatment perspective for studying self-help and 11 publications used a perspective derived from alternative or complementary therapies. Conclusions: The review shows that most of the research on self-help and self-help groups for people with long-lasting health problems or disability is conducted with an interest to improve the professional healthcare system. That is, the health-promotion strategy is mainly considered in the framework of treatment or care settings. This means that self-help in this context does not challenge the dominant biomedical health model. © 2011 the Nordic Societies of Public Health.

    Struggle for time to teach. Teachers experiences of their work situation.2011In: Work: A journal of Prevention, Assessment and rehabilitation, ISSN 1051-9815, E-ISSN 1875-9270, Vol. 40, no Suppl 1, p. 111-118Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Objective: The objective of this study was to from a gender perspective, explore elementary school teacher' experiences of their work situation, and identify conditions that could be health risks. Participants: Eighteen female teachers who work in an elementary school in Northern Sweden. Method: Thematic interviews were conducted using an interview guide. The interviews were tape-recorded and transcribed verbatim. Qualitative content analysis was used to analyse the transcribed text and interpretations were made within gender theory. Results: Four categories emerged: "Squeezed between dream and reality", "Effort to keep up with demands", "We can make it together" and "The school needs men's qualities". The categories were linked together with the theme "A struggle for time to teach". The theme describes the conflict between the teachers' ambitions to teach and create a stimulating learning environment versus the increased need for behaviour control that took time from classroom work. Beside work at the school, the teachers carried a large burden of domestic work.Conclusions: Teachers' work includes both endless demands and great joy. Their work is structured within the schools gender system in which caring duties are subordinated despite a growing demand for behaviour control. Traditional gender roles affect their domestic work load.

    Work resumption or not after rehabilitation?: A descriptive study from six social insurance offices.2004In: International Journal of Rehabilitation Research, ISSN 0342-5282, E-ISSN 1473-5660, Vol. 27, no 3, p. 171-180Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    The objective of this study was to describe measures and outcomes of vocational rehabilitation at six local national insurance offices in the same county in Sweden. Data were collected from mainframe registers and other records at each office. There were great differences in sickness allowance, incapacity rate, selected rehabilitation measures and resuming work. The percentage of sick-listed people who received any rehabilitation measure differed from 1.2 to 8.7%. The gender distribution for the study population was 36% men and 64% women and the predominant diagnosis was musculoskeletal pain conditions, which was followed by psychiatric disorders. Outcomes varied from office B, which reported 58% fully fit after completed planned rehabilitation, to office C, which reported only 24% fully fit. The clear differences in outcome between the offices indicate that various rehabilitation measures differ in effectiveness. The rehabilitation measure 'investigation of working ability' was not linked to any great proportion of people resuming work, but showed a greater correspondence to full disability pension. There were also large differences in social and demographic factors in the different municipalities. The effect of these on the rehabilitation process requires further investigation.

    Selection of clients for vocational rehabilitation at six local social insurance offices.: a combined register and questionnaire study on rehabilitation measures and attitudes among social insurance officers.2008In: Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, ISSN 1650-1977, E-ISSN 1651-2081, Vol. 40, no 3, p. 178-184Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to evaluate possible differences between local social insurance offices with regard to their selection of clients for vocational rehabilitation. A further aim was to determine whether social insurance officers from different local insurance offices have uniform attitudes regarding professional practice in their application of the insurance system. METHODS: A register-based investigation of 815 vocational rehabilitees served by 6 local social insurance offices in a Swedish county. The study was supplemented with a questionnaire to 30 officers about attitudes to social insurance. RESULTS: The office with the lowest rate of sick-listing periods exceeding one year, and a high frequency of employment training, showed the highest degree of work resumption and the lowest pension rate after vocational rehabilitation. There were wide differences in attitude among the local social insurance officers regarding professional practice in their application of the system. CONCLUSION: Intra-county differences occur in handling people on sick-leave who undergo vocational rehabilitation. The local social insurance offices with the highest and lowest outcome rates of work resumption and disability pension, respectively, select clients for vocational rehabilitation from different categories of cases. Social insurance officers from different local offices differ in their attitudes towards the social insurance system and its clients.

    Work resumption after vocational rehabilitation: a follow-up two years after completed rehabilitation2007In: Work: A journal of Prevention, Assessment and rehabilitation, ISSN 1051-9815, E-ISSN 1875-9270, Vol. 28, no 4, p. 343-354Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    A short-term evaluation of vocational rehabilitation (VR) may give conclusions not automatically applicable over a longer term. The present study follows up alterations in work resumption or in social insurance benefits from the time of completed VR and during the following two years. AIM: The primary objective was to evaluate work resumption among previous sick-leavers granted vocational rehabilitation. The aim of the follow-up was to assess the stability of the outcome of VR over time and to analyse factors of importance for clients that remained at work. METHOD: A register investigation was based on 815 cases where the clients had taken part in vocational rehabilitation and were served by one of six local social insurance offices of a Swedish county. RESULTS: Of the clients studied, 52.4% had attained full working capacity The proportion had decreased to 37.4% two years later. One factor that differed between those who resumed work and those who returned to sick leave was the duration of the previous sick-leave period. Those who returned to work had had shorter sick leave, had jobs to return to and had received job training as a vocational rehabilitation measure. CONCLUSIONS: The clients with the best chances of being in work two years after completed vocational rehabilitation were those with short sickness absence, who had been selected for job training as a vocational rehabilitation, were aged 16-29 years and were employed in industry.

    Disability pension despite vocational rehabilitation: A study from six social insurance offices of a county2005In: International Journal of Rehabilitation Reserch, ISSN 0342-5282, Vol. 28, no 1, p. 33-42Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Many long-term sick-listed individuals move from vocational rehabilitation to pension, rather than reaching the goal of return to work. There is thus reason to consider whether rehabilitation resources are being used optimally. Individuals receiving disability pensions are consuming financial and personnel resources at the insurance offices and also consume a large amount of health care. The general objective of the study was to evaluate the proportion of individuals granted vocational rehabilitation but then obtaining temporary or permanent disability pensions. All persons receiving any kind of rehabilitation and attending one of six local national insurance offices in a county in Sweden in 1998 and 1999 were studied. A 2-year follow-up was carried out to assess changes in status among those who had received temporary disability pensions. Of all individuals receiving rehabilitation, 46.2% ended up with a disability pension allowance. In addition, a large portion of the temporary disability pensions was transformed to permanent disability pensions within 2 years. For clients with a temporary disability pension, the rate of resuming work was close to nil. Among rehabilitation measures, investigation showed the lowest figures of work resumption while job training showed the best outcome in this respect. The study concluded that a large portion of the financial and personnel resources allocated by the national insurance offices to rehabilitation resulted in disability pensions.

    Deliberately induced abortion prior to seeking postabortion care in public healthcare facilities – A quantitative study among women in western Kenya.2022Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Unsafe abortion is a major cause of maternal mortality in Kenya. There are significant barriers to access quality reproductive health care due to ambiguity in interpretation of the law, socioeconomic factors and stigma surrounding abortion. The aim was to investigate procedures of self-induced abortion used prior to seeking post-abortion care services, and predictors for self-induced abortion, among women in western Kenya. A cross sectional study was performed, with data collected by questionnaires from a randomized controlled trial executed in 2013-2016. In total, 805 women were included, of which 57 women reported self-induced abortion. This formed two groups and differences between them were investigated using descriptive statistics and a binary logistic regression. Marital status, employment and parity differed significantly between the groups, but not education level. Most (43.1%) used misoprostol to induce abortion, and many performed the abortion at home (39.6%), hence an unsafe setting. Traditional healers were involved in 14.6% and herbs by 35.3%. A higher percentage in the self-induced abortion group did not receive contraceptive counselling (7.5%) compared to the other group (1.8%). Being single was associated with a higher risk of self-induced abortion. Despite knowledge of risks, women chose an unsafe abortion most probably in the strive for nondisclosure. This study highlights the methods and settings used in selfinduced abortion. Knowledge of these processes contribute with information for larger health-care interventions to prevent unsafe abortions.

    The meaning of major depression in family life: the viewpoint of the ill parent2010In: Journal of Clinical Nursing, ISSN 0962-1067, E-ISSN 1365-2702, Vol. 19, no 1-2§, p. 284-293Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Aim and objective.

    The aim was to elucidate the meaning of major depression in family life

    from the viewpoint of an ill parent.

    Background.

    Major depression according to Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of

    Mental Disorders is common and may appear repeatedly over several

    years, and affects family life. Depression in parents has a negative

    impact on family function and children's health; however, studies

    regarding the deeper understanding of major depression in family life

    are lacking.

    Design.

    A qualitative explorative study using narrative interviews with eight

    parents who were identified with major depression.

    Methods.

    A phenomenological-hermeneutic method of interpretation was used for

    analysing interview texts and included naive understanding, a

    structural analysis where text was divided into meaning units, which

    were condensed and abstracted, and finally a comprehensive

    understanding.

    Result.

    Two themes were extracted: 'to be afflicted in an almost unmanageable

    situation' with sub-themes 'feeling hopelessly bad', 'being worthless',

    'being unsatisfied' and the theme 'to reconcile oneself to the

    situation' with sub-themes 'being active', 'being satisfied' and

    'maintaining parenthood'.

    Conclusion.

    Comprehensive understanding revealed the parents' simultaneous

    suffering and dignity in family life; suffering with serious lack of

    well-being and health, destroyed self-confidence and unhappiness, and

    dignity with strength, confidence and joy in children. The movement

    between suffering and dignity complicated family life. Dignity was

    threatened by the awareness that suffering in major depression was

    recurrent. Dignity had to be repeatedly restored for self and the

    family, and family dignity has to be restored before others outside the

    family circle.

    Relevance to clinical practice.

    A deeper understanding of the meaning of major depression in family

    life is helpful and for healthcare professionals to prevent individual

    and family suffering by assisting and preserving dignity.

    Major depression in a family: what happens and how to manage - a case study2007In: Issues in Mental Health Nursing, ISSN 0161-2840, E-ISSN 1096-4673, Vol. 28, no 7, p. 691-706Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Major depression challenges the ways of living for both individuals and families. The aim of this study was to describe what happens and how to manage major depression in a family. The case in this paper is a family with a mother who is suffering major depression and her son and daughter. Narrative interviews and qualitative content analysis were conducted. The findings revealed six themes: "a stealthy intruder," "moving slowly to helplessness," "saving the situation," "protecting oneself and others," "conveying things that are beyond words," and the "dispersal of shadows." These themes elucidated the family members' varying views of depression and the unique ways they managed the situation.

    Förlossningsskadade personers tillit till mödrahälsovården: En kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie2021Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Tidigare forskning har visat att förlossningsskador ger sänkt livskvalitet, då skadorna ger symtom som ofta medför fysiska, psykiska och sociala begränsningar. Studier har även visat att vårdtilliten hos förlossningsskadade personer är låg, vilket gör att vissa avstår från att söka vård för sina skador. Syfte: Denna studies syfte var att undersöka hälsorelaterad livskvalitet samt tillit till mödrahälsovården hos personer som lever med förlossningsskador. Metod: Studien genomfördes i form av en kvantitativ tvärsnittsstudie där data samlades in med en digital enkät riktad till förlossningsskadade. Respondenterna tillfrågades om förlossningsskadans påverkan på livskvalitet, samt om deras tillit till mödrahälsovården. Resultat: Cirka tre fjärdedelar av respondenterna skattade sin tillit till mödrahälsovården som låg. Den genomsnittliga respondenten uppgav att skadan begränsade deras allmänna livskvalitet till en nivå av 61,5 på skalan 0 till 100. En statistiskt signifikant korrelation på –0,26 mellan tillit till mödrahälsovård och begränsning av hälsorelaterad livskvalitet påvisades. Slutsats: Resultaten av denna studie bekräftar tidigare forskningsfynd, genom att visa att förlossningsskador är relaterade till såväl låg tillit till mödrahälsovården som begränsad livskvalitet. Vidare visar studien att det hos långvarigt förlossningsskadade förekommer en svag korrelation mellan lägre vårdtillit och högre begränsning av hälsorelaterad livskvalitet.

    Palliativ vård av äldre i hemmet: En litteraturöversikt ur närståendes perspektiv2023Independent thesis Basic level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: Att vara närstående till en döende person som får palliativ vård i hemmet innebär stora påfrestningar som påverkar dem psykiskt och somatiskt. Sjuksköterskor som tar hand om palliativa patienter utgår från de fyra hörnstenarna; symtomkontroll, samarbete, kommunikation och relation, samt stöd till närstående. Närstående till äldre personer som får palliativ vård i hemmet blir ofta delaktiga i omvårdnaden, ibland ofrivilligt, därför är det viktigt att belysa deras upplevelse för att kunna identifiera vilka behov eller resurser som finns i takt med ökat palliativ vårdbehov i hemmet.

    Syfte: Syftet var att belysa upplevelser av att vara närstående till en äldre person som får palliativ vård i hemmet. Metod: Metoden var en litteraturöversikt av vetenskapliga originalartiklar. Sökningar gjordes i två databaser, PubMed och CINAHL, och 14 kvalitativa artiklar användes till resultatet efter urval- och granskningsprocessen.

    Resultat: Många närstående inte ville lämna den äldre personen ensam och åsidosatte sina egna behov. De upplevde en plikt mot den äldre personen att delta i den palliativa omvårdnaden och saknade tillräcklig kunskap. Brist på stöd och information gav negativa upplevelser. Att bli sedd av vårdpersonal var betydelsefullt.

    Diskussion: Att leva med en döende person påverkade närståendes psykiska hälsa genom upplevelser av bland annat oro, rädsla och ångest. Sjuksköterskan kan ge stöd genom information och utbildning.

    Slutsats: Genom att se närstående som en person med egna behov av stöd och hjälp samt arbeta utifrån ett personcentrerat förhållningssätt kan sjuksköterskan minska ansvarsbördan och främja hälsan och välbefinnande hos närstående.
