Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the study was to find areas that were important to highlight when collecting data for the nursing history and the nursing status of the gay male patient, with an emphasis on psychosocial issues. Literature was searched in the data-bases Psyc-Lit and CINAHL, and the results were presented using the VIPS model (Ehrenberg, Ehnfors, Thorell-Ekstrand 1996). Areas that need to be out in focus were: the coming out process, sexual behaviour and safer sex, lifestyle and significant other(s). To discuss issues related to sexuality is difficult both to patients and nurses, but could be relieved using the PLISSIT model (Annon 1977). When informing on safer sex, one must bear in mind the lifestyles like »the chosen family« (Henriksson 1995) and open relations. But also the »symbolic meaning« given to the unprotected anal intercourse by some, and where the cessation of the use of condoms symbolises trust and love, and that the relationship is for real-»risk factor love« (Henriksson 1995, Linder 1996).

- Increasingly people use the Internet to find health-related information. However, to obtain information of good quality there may be obstacles. The aim of this literature review was to gain knowledge about use of the Internet in developing health related knowledge. Two questions were posted: What factors can be obstacles in understanding health-related information on the Internet? What effects can health related information obtained from the Internet have for the user? In a systematic search in CINAHL and Pubmed, and a systematic review of two specific journals from the years 2000 to 2004, 14 scientific articles were found. Use of the Internet is related to the individual’s age, socio-economical factors, ethnicity, and health. Information obtained from the Internet may influence the patient-caregiver relation, as well as the individual’s sense of security and independence. There are learning needs for the individual in how to use the Internet and needs for improvement of the search-engines and websites

Ingår i: Vård i Norden. - Oslo, Norge : Sykepleiernes Samarbeid i Norden. - 0107-4083 .- 1890-4238. ; 29:1, s. 9-13

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: To evaluate quality of websites containing health information about heart attack in the Swedish language, accessible via one common used search engine available to the general public. Background: Increasingly, information about different health problems is sought on the Internet. From a layman perspective, such information can be hard to find, to understand and to trust. Health care professionals should be able to inform and teach the individual safe ways of finding health information of good quality on the Internet, which involves assessments of the websites. Methods: In one common used search engine, the Google, one search was performed during February 2006. Seventy websites were evaluated using one or all the European Union (EU) quality criteria. Findings: No website met all the criteria, but websites found on the search engines first search pages, met the criteria in the best way. Those websites were primarily aimed at mediating health information to the general public provided by government authorities, county councils, universities and companies. Conclusions: Ethnic minority groups, and individuals with low literacy skills/or visual impairments, may have difficulties finding suitable information. The EU quality criteria need to be refined in order to better assess the quality on different kind of websites.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Malnutrition is a major problem among elderly at nursing homes. Overnight-fasting is defined as the time between the last mealtime at night and breakfast and was considered as long in this study when it exceeded eleven hours. The aim of the study was to map the overnight-fasting length, the frequency and rate of malnutrition and the health related quality of life in an elderly population living at a nursing home in western Sweden. The study was a quantitative descriptive study and was performed at a somatic department of a nursing home. The data was analysed using descriptive statistic. The result indicate a possible relation between the combination of manifest malnutrition as measured in this study, an overnight- fasting length exceeding 11 hours and low health related quality of life in old age. The study generated the hypothesis that health related quality of life among elderly persons living at nursing homes can increase if the over-night fasting length decrease under eleven hours. In addition there is a need for more knowledge concerning the elderly’ own experience of long over-night fasting.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Four key concepts for good nursing care and a list of key words for nursing documentation in patient records were established and to some extent tried in clinical practice in Sweden. The method consisted of the following steps: extensive literature review, review of nursing records, development of a list of key words on two levels, a first level corresponding to the nursing process, and a second level consisting of subdivisions for possible use in practice, use and assessment in clinical practice by nurses and students, expert panel judgement and refinement of the key words including an examination of semantic accuracy of the Swedish key words by an expert in Nordic languages. The proposed key words are presented both in English and Swedish and explanations, comments and references are given. The version of key words presented here is subject to further testing for possible modifications.

To be content with one's present situation. Young women's perceptions of everyday life

- The aim of this study was to describe young women's perceptions of lifestyle and how it was experienced in their daily lives. Traditionally, the outlook on illness and health is pathogenic, i.e. preventing illness and disease in order to achieve health, by focusing lifestyle behaviors such as physical activity and smoking. Lifestyle based on a salutary perspective cannot be measured or observedfrom the outside but must be described by the individual since lifestyle is an aspect of one's life situation. Little is known about how lifestyle is perceived and what it means in ordinary people's lives. Data were collected through interviews with 25 women selected by strategic sampling and analyzed using a phenomenographic approach. Three structural aspects emerged: enjoying life, living life, and balancing everyday life. Women described how they used lifestyle as a tool for achieving a sense of satisfaction, relaxation and happiness in everyday life. Lifestyle was also perceived as a never-ending balancing act between different personal needs and the expectations of others and society. It involved how the women used their time or lack of time as effectively as possible in order to organize their day. Lifestyle seems to be a tool in which intrinsic behaviors may be central to enhance quality of life and health. Intrinsic behaviors should be encouraged in salutary health promotion work.

- Background: Pain is a symptom that affects quality of life negatively for many people. As a person gets older, the symptoms will increase and more than 50 % of the elderly in the municipal health care is expected to have some sort of pain. This makes pain management a key question.Aim: The aim of this study was to describe what nurses perceive affect pain management for older people.Method: The study is based on interviews with 18 nurses from two municipalities in Sweden. The method used was qualitative content analysis.Results: Four categories affecting pain management were revealed: Proficiency, communication, organization and treatment strategies. Within each category three to four sub-categories were formed, such as medicine and older, documentation, work environment and pharmacological treatment. Several variations were revealed within each sub- categories. The results showed possibilities for good pain relief but the lack of tailored pain assessment tools, communication and treatment strategies tailored for older patients in pain made it difficult. The emerging theme was an unstructured organization makes it difficult to provide good pain relief.Conclusion: If evidence-based pain management strategies including pain assessment tools adapted in municipal health were developed, more patients should receive adequate pain treatment.
