  • Effects of work ability and health promoting interventions for women with musculoskeletal symptoms : A 9-month prospective study
  • 2008
  • Ingår i: BMC Musculoskeletal Disorders. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1471-2474. ; 9, s. 105-
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • Background: Women working in the public human service sector in 'overstrained' situations run the risk of musculoskeletal symptoms and long-term sick leave. In order to maintain the level of health and work ability and strengthen the potential resources for health, it is important that employees gain greater control over decisions and actions affecting their health - a process associated with the concept of self-efficacy. The aim of this study was to describe the effects of a self-efficacy intervention and an ergonomic education intervention for women with musculoskeletal symptoms, employed in the public sector.Methods: The design of the study was a 9-month prospective study describing the effects of two interventions, a comprehensive self-efficacy intervention (n = 21) and an ergonomic education intervention ( n = 21). Data were obtained by a self-report questionnaire on health-and work ability-related factors at baseline, and at ten weeks and nine months follow-up. Within-group differences over time were analysed.Results: Over the time period studied there were small magnitudes of improvements within each group. Within the self-efficacy intervention group positive effects in perceived work ability were shown. The ergonomic education group showed increased positive beliefs about future work ability and a more frequent use of pain coping strategies.Conclusion: Both interventions showed positive effects on women with musculoskeletal symptoms, but in different ways. Future research in this area should tailor interventions to participants' motivation and readiness to change.

  • Health, physical ability, falls and morale in very old people: the Umeå 85+ Study
  • 2006
  • Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
    • The very old, aged 80 years and over, is the fastest growing age group today, and the demands for healthcare and services will be even higher in the future. It is, therefore, of great importance to advance our knowledge about this group. The main purpose of this thesis was to describe living conditions and health, with a special focus on physical ability, falls and morale, in women and men in three different age groups of very old people in northern Sweden. Half the population aged 85, and the total population aged 90 and ≥95 (-103) in the municipality of Umeå were selected for participation (n=348) in this population-based cross-sectional study, entitled the Umeå 85+ Study. Structured interviews and assessments were performed with the participants in their homes, and data were also collected from next-of-kins, caregivers and medical charts. Cognition was screened for using the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), depressive symptoms using the Geriatric Depression Scale-15 (GDS-15), and nutritional status using the Mini Nutritional Assessment (MNA). Activities of Daily Living (ADL) were assessed using the Staircase of ADL (including the Katz Index of ADL) and morale using the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale (PGCMS). Participants also rated their own health and answered a questionnaire about symptoms. Physical ability was assessed using a gait speed test over 2.4 meters (8 feet), three consecutive chair stands, and the Berg Balance Scale (BBS). A follow-up study for falls was performed during a period of six months with fall calendars and telephone calls. The very old people in this northern population have more depression, hypertension and hip fractures, as well as a higher consumption of drugs than comparable, more southern populations. In general, younger participants had lower rates of diagnoses and prescribed drugs, were less dependent in ADL and other functional variables than older participants, and men had lower rates of diagnoses and reported symptoms than women. However, there were no age or sex differences in self-rated health or morale, which were both rated as good by the majority of the participants. There was a wide range of physical ability among these very old people, especially in women, where an age-related decline was seen. The results also demonstrate that men had greater physical ability than women. The BBS had no floor or ceiling effects in the present sample. In contrast, a large proportion was unable to perform the gait speed and chair stands test, resulting in a floor effect for the timed performances, especially in women. Falling is a major public health problem in very old people. From the results of the present study, it could be predicted that every seventh participant and every third of the people who did fall would suffer a fracture over a period of one year. The independent explanatory risk factors for time to first fall in this sample of very old people were dependency in personal (P-) ADL but not bedridden, thyroid disorders, treatment with Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs) and occurrence of fall/s in the preceding year. These factors should all be considered in fall prevention programmes. The morale of very old people was found in this study to be rather high, with similar scores among age groups and sexes. The most important factors for high morale were the absence of depressive symptoms, living in ordinary housing, having previously had a stroke and yet still living in ordinary housing, not feeling lonely and having few symptoms. The PGCMS seems applicable in the evaluation of morale in very old people. In conclusion, there were wide variations in health status and physical ability in this northern population of very old people. Women had poorer health and physical ability than men. Falls and fractures were common and serious health problems. Morale seemed to be high, despite the fact that a large proportion of the participants suffered from many diseases and functional decline.

  • How can a work rehabilitation process be improved? : a qualitative study from the perspective of social insurance officers
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Disability and Rehabilitation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0963-8288 .- 1464-5165. ; 26:5, s. 299-305
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • PURPOSE: The aim of this study is to describe social insurance officers' experiences of a work rehabilitation process at a rehabilitation centre in the northern parts of Sweden. In Sweden the social insurance company has a key role to coordinate all efforts concerning work rehabilitation planning between all rehabilitation actors. METHOD: Ten social insurance officers at the social insurance company in a city in northern Sweden were interviewed using a narrative approach about their experiences of work rehabilitation processes in general. The interviews were analysed by qualitative content analysis with a focus on their experiences of goals, content and results of a work rehabilitation process. RESULTS: The social insurance officers' experiences of how a work rehabilitation process could be improved were described in six categories; (1) Early identification of problems, needs and interventions (2) clear goal formulations, (3) a focus on psychosocial factors (4) a greater variety of possible interventions, (5) activating employers to a higher extent in work rehabilitation and (6) a closer cooperation and information exchange with other rehabilitation actors. CONCLUSIONS: It is possible to improve a work rehabilitation process by focusing on early identification of problems, needs and interventions, with a variety of interventions to choose between and with clear goal formulations and recognizing psychosocial factors in the process. To activate employers to a higher extent in work rehabilitation and to make the information exchange between rehabilitation actors more frequent may also improve work rehabilitation processes

  • Interaction between patient and physiotherapist in psychiatric care-the physiotherapist perspective
  • 2000
  • Ingår i: Advances in Physiotherapy. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1651-1948 .- 1403-8196. ; 2:4, s. 157-167
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The aim of the study was to investigate what factors the physiotherapy experts in psychiatric physiotherapy believed to be important in the interaction between the patient and the physiotherapist (PT). The objective was to obtain a deeper insight into their reasoning concerning interaction and treatment outcomes. Eleven nominated ''expert'' PTs were each interviewed twice. Triangulation of important events, an exemplar (critical incident) and a key informant interview were used in the data collection. A qualitative design with crosscase analysis was used in the data analysis. Important interaction factors were divided into a ''prerequisites dimension'', ''interaction dimension'' and ''outcome dimension''. In the prerequisites dimension there were three themes: ''prerequisites of the PT'', ''prerequisites of the patient'' and ''external factors''. In the interaction dimension there were also three themes: ''ways of contact'', ''therapeutic process'' and ''structure of treatment''. In the outcome dimension the theme ''outcome'' and the two categories ''patient - awareness of own resources and ''PT - improvement of interaction skills with the aid of reflection'' were found. Interaction was considered to be important for the outcome and for the patient's awareness of his:her resources. The body awareness skills of the PT, the therapeutic relationships, help for the patient to identify his:her resources and the contract were also important. The ability to be fully mentally present in the encounter and the use of non-verbal skills were emphasized. Supervision and reflection about the outcome increased the PT's interaction skills in a learning process. The physiotherapy process expressed was resource-oriented.

  • Outcome of Basic body awareness therapy. A randomized controlled study of patients in psychiatric outpatient care
  • 2003
  • Ingår i: Advances in Physiotherapy. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1651-1948 .- 1403-8196. ; 5:4, s. 179-190
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • The aim was to study the outcome of Basic Body Awareness Therapy (Basic BAT) added to treatment as usual (TAU) compared to TAU only, for patients with mood, somatoform or personality disorders in psychiatric outpatient services. Seventy-seven patients were randomized to Basic BAT and TAU (n=38) or TAU only (n=39). Patients were assessed at baseline and after 12 sessions of Basic BAT, 3 months after baseline. At the termination of Basic BAT sessions, patients receiving Basic BAT in addition to TAU showed significant improvements concerning the quality of movements using the Body Awareness Scale-Health (BAS-H), and psychiatric symptoms and attitudes towards body and movement using the Body Awareness Scale interview, compared to the TAU-only patients. A significant improvement in favour of the patients receiving Basic BAT was also shown with regard to self-efficacy, physical coping resources and sleep. Age and sex showed no significant influence on outcome. The results indicate that Basic BAT in addition to TAU, in a relatively short intervention period improves the body awareness and attitude towards the body as well as self-efficacy, sleep and physical coping resources compared to TAU only. This study indicates a positive short-term outcome of the Basic BAT treatment. However, studies of the long-term outcome remain to be undertaken.

  • Clients' experiences of a work rehabilitation process
  • 2004
  • Ingår i: Disability and Rehabilitation. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0963-8288 .- 1464-5165. ; 26:7, s. 419-24
  • Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
    • PURPOSE: The aim of this study was to describe clients' experiences of a work rehabilitation process. METHOD: Ten clients who had participated in work-related rehabilitation at a rehabilitation centre in the northern parts of Sweden were interviewed using a narrative approach. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis focusing on clients' descriptions of the goals, contents and results of the work rehabilitation process. RESULTS: At the beginning of the rehabilitation the goal was often to confirm a diagnosis, to become healthy and able to return to work. It was hard to be forced to change the goals. When fortunate the rehabilitation provided more profound guidance and function assessment. It resulted in changes varying from practical alterations to important insights into life. It was important to get support and understanding. When the rehabilitation was not adjusted to clients' needs, feelings of disappointment emerged and life became a struggle with various authorities in order to gain understanding and other forms of rehabilitation. CONCLUSIONS: This study shows the need to develop truly client-centred practice. Therefore, we emphasized, based on this study, the importance of professionals involved in rehabilitation working on different levels and in various settings having regular discussions about what the term client-centred practice means to them. Integrating individual perceptions is essential to advancing a multidimensional approach in return-to-work research.
