The Delphi method as a way to explore underresearched areas in nursing : - refugee's health and social participation
- 2018
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: The Delphi method developed in the 1950s in the US-Army as a way to forecast the probability of nuclear weapons usage in war by consulting "experts". From this origin the Delphi method successfully spread in dierent academic disciplines during the late 1900 to become one important method for access "expert consensus" in situations where no other evidence exist and furthermore to provide a valuable tool in the investigation of "expert opinion" and may thereby help to guide future policy directives in an era such as nursing. Objective: The aim of this presentation is to describe the possibilities of using this approach to explore under-researched areas in nursing using conclusion drawn from a scoping review of Delphi studies on refugee's health and social participation. Method: Scoping review Results: The ndings show that health workers; nurse’s, physicians, civil servants have a tremendous impact on health outcomes that occur for refugees during their adjustment to a new life and that their interpretation and implementing policies is important to consider when elaborating on health and resources of health. Conclusion and implication for practice: To conclude, emphasizing the tacit knowledge of experts the ndings show that this type of approaches can serve as a method to both investigate and establish a consensus among nurses or in areas of nursing research where evidence is lacking. Delphi method is a tool that can provide valuable insight regarding nursing knowledge that is not possible to monitor in any other way and can become more important in nursing research in the future.

Föräldraskap efter flykt till ett annat land : Kunskapssammanställning baserad på en kartläggande litteraturöversikt

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Parenting after forced migration entails specific challenges, especially during the first years after flight, such as reception and social networks in the new country, socioeconomic situation, migration related difficulties, mental ill-health, discrimination, to learn a new language, new norms and expectations, and leading a transnational life. This report is a scoping review with the aim to compile and describe the existing knowledge about the experiences of newly arrived forced migrant parents, as well as key factors that affect parenting during the first year after having fled to another country. PubMed, Sociology Collection and PsychInfo were systematically searched. The report includes 27 articles.The result of the literature review was systematised into two main themes that were salient in the empirical material: strengths/possibilities and challenges. Strength/possibilities relate to four categories: health and social service, new possibilities, establishing oneself, and networks and family. Challenges relate to the four categories health, establishing oneself, socioeconomic status, and social networks and relationships. Many studies note the importance of access to, as well as accurate information about, health care and social services where the newly arrived parents' situation is taken into account. Fleeing to another country may mean possibilities such as education and to be able to live in peace and freedom. To be able to establish oneself in the new country is a supporting factor for parenting. Family life and social networks are also noted as central supporting factors. On the other hand, lack of information and poor treatment are barriers to access to health care. Several studies report on some form of mental ill health among the parents. To be subjected to new norms for parenting and experiences of discrimination are other challenges for these parents. Many newly arrived parents have low socioeconomic status. Worries related to residence permits may also affect parenting in a negative way.This scoping review shows that this group of newly arrived parents often lack the stability that the sedentary and settled groups may enjoy. There is a need for parenting support for this group that takes this into account. While not assuming that this group is homogenous, another challenge to consider is mental ill-health among newly arrived parents, not least related to unsafe living conditions and previous traumatic events.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- A high proportion of refugees have been subjected to potentially traumatic experiences (PTEs), including torture. PTEs, and torture in particular, are powerful predictors of mental ill health. This paper reports the development and preliminary validation of a brief refugee trauma checklist applicable for survey studies.Methods: A pool of 232 items was generated based on pre-existing instruments. Conceptualization, item selection and item refinement was conducted based on existing literature and in collaboration with experts. Ten cognitive interviews using a Think Aloud Protocol (TAP) were performed in a clinical setting, and field testing of the proposed checklist was performed in a total sample of n = 137 asylum seekers from Syria.Results: The proposed refugee trauma history checklist (RTHC) consists of 2 × 8 items, concerning PTEs that occurred before and during the respondents' flight, respectively. Results show low item non-response and adequate psychometric propertiesConclusion: RTHC is a usable tool for providing self-report data on refugee trauma history surveys of community samples. The core set of included events can be augmented and slight modifications can be applied to RTHC for use also in other refugee populations and settings.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Undocumented migrants in Sweden have no regulated access to health care, but as legislation forbids anyone to be denied “immediate” care at their own expense when in need, this applies also to them. In lack of specific national regulations, local policies on the issue have been formed. This study, based on interviews with civil servants on the local levels and representatives of NGO clinics as well as the study of relevant national legislation and local policies, concludes that the local policies formed may be categorized into three groups: regulations that merely clarify the implications of current national legislation, regulations that incorporates the group “undocumented migrants” in “asylum seekers” and equates their entitlements, and finally, regulations that widen undocumented migrants’ access to health care from ”immediate” care to also include ”immediately necessary” care. These ambiguities put a heavy responsibility on the individual practitioner, and clearer, well-communicated regulations would help solve this situation.

Presenting Absent Bodies : Undocumented Persons Coping and Resisting in Sweden

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Absence and presence have generally been discussed as two aspects of either a temporal or a spatial relationship. With an Arendtian notion of presence as the capacity to define space and to appear in front of others, this article explores undocumentedness as a condition of simultaneous presence and absence. Drawing on ethnographic fieldwork and interviews with undocumented persons in Sweden, it is argued that the undocumented spatiality is paradoxical and Möbius. This article shows how concealment, disguise, diffusion and appearance are key to the different manifestations of presence and absence in undocumented people’s lives. It also shows how undocumented persons, by using their politically absent yet physically present bodies as vehicles for practicing dissensus, can find possibilities for recognition and action in public space.

Presenting the Absent : An Account of Undocumentedness in Sweden
- 2012
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis provides an ethnography and critical phenomenology of undocumentedness in the Swedish context. By attending to the forces and processes that circumscribe the life-worlds of undocumented persons, as well as the phenomenology and essential experiences of their condition, a complex and multi-layered illustration of what undocumentedness is and means is successively presented. Employing a dual conceptualization of the state, as a juridico-political construct as well as a practiced and embodied set of institutions, the undocumented position emerges as a legal category defined only through omission, produced and reproduced through administrative routine and practice. The health care sector provides empirical examples of state-undocumented interaction where the physical and corporeal presence of the officially absent becomes irrefutable. This research suggests that the Swedish welfare state – universalistic, comprehensive and with digitized administrative routines – becomes a particularly austere environment in which to be undocumented. Drawing on interviews with regional and local health care administrators, NGO-clinics’ representatives and health professionals, as well as extensive participatory observation and interviews with undocumented persons, I argue that the undocumented condition is characterized by simultaneous absence and presence, and a correspondingly paradoxical spatiality. I suggest that the official absence and deportability of undocumented persons deprives them of the capacity to define space and, in an Arendtian sense, appear as themselves to others. There are, however, some opportunities for embodied political protest and dissensus. The paradoxical qualities of the absent-present condition manipulate the undocumented mode of being-in-the-world and I argue that alienation and disorientation are essential experiences of the undocumented situation.

Från omhändertagande till ansvarstagande : Nyliberal hälsa i etableringen av nyanlända

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Etableringsinsatserna för nyanlända1 i deras nuvarande utformning kan förstås som en del av förskjutningen från välfärd till arbetssamhälle, vilket brukar benämnas workfare (Wacquant 2009:6; Rueda 2015:299). Detta handlar framförallt om att välfärdsrättigheter blir alltmer villkorade och kopplade till krav på motprestationer i form av arbete eller annan aktivering. I etableringen märks detta t.ex. i ett ökat fokus på att nyanlända snabbt ska komma i arbete. Det statliga integrationsinsatserna för nyanlända omfattar sedan reformeringen 2010 (SFS 2010:197) språkundervisning (SFI), individanpassade arbetsmarknadsåtgärder (praktik, validering av utbildning etc.), och en samhällsorienterande utbildning. Förändringen var en del av en större reformering som föregicks av en rad utredningar, vilka konstaterade att introduktionen av nyanlända i Sverige gick för långsamt och var passiviserande. Lösningen var att etableringen av nyanlända nu skulle inlemmas i arbetslinjen och integrationspolitiken skulle ta steget från ”omhändertagande till ansvarstagande” (prop. 2009/10:60; s. 24). I ett pågående forskningsprojekt undersöker vi etableringen av nyanlända, med ett särskilt fokus på hur man arbetar för att främja socialt deltagande och psykisk hälsa hos personer som är nya i Sverige. Fokus i projektet ligger på tjänstepersoner och frivilliga inom detta område – och hur de tänker kring hur det som brett kan benämnas integration fungerar – men även på dokument som är centrala för att förstå etableringens politiska och praktiska kontext. I den här artikeln analyserar vi dokument kopplade till samhällsorienteringen för nyanlända – en av tre delar som omfattas av etableringslagen. Eftersom hälsa är ett centralt fokus i vårt projekt har det även utgjort ett särskilt empiriskt fokus i vår analys i den här artikeln. Syftet är att undersöka vilka idéer som präglar samhällsorienteringen för nyanlända, och hur de kommer till uttryck i relation till hälsa. Vårt analytiska fokus är hur hälsa i samhällsinformation till nyanlända konstrueras diskursivt i det kursmaterial som används i samhällsorienteringen.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Samhällsorienteringskurser erbjuds nyanlända flyktingar för att ge dem grundläggande kunskap om Sverige och det svenska samhället. Syftet med Kim Silow Kallenberg och Erika Sigvardsdotters artikel är att analysera de bilder av Sverige, svenskhet och de Andra som framträder i kursernas undervisningsmaterial. Utifrån en narrativ ansats undersöks både berättelser och tystnader i materialet, där det som inte är uttalat förstås som en aspekt av berättelsen om Sverige och svenskheten. Materialet är både informativt och normerande, det beskriver både vad som är vanligt och vad som är önskvärt. Skrivningar om omständigheter där utrikesfödda kan bli förfördelade saknas i hög grad, samtidigt som sammanhang där utrikesfödda skulle kunna diskriminera eller skada någon annan beskrivs utförligt. Materialet kan därför tolkas som att det i första hand utgår från majoritetsbefolkningens perspektiv och behov, trots att det riktar sig till nyanlända
