Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Abstract Background: Grief has previously been described in pathological terms, characterized by several stages. In the past three decades, new perspectives on grief as a reaction to the loss of a significant other have emerged. It shows that grief is an individual process based on circumstances surrounding the death and the bereaved person’s life situation, rather than being predetermined. Objective: The aim of the study was to show how grief is perceived by people who have lost a significant other, and it focuses on bereavement support, how the death affects the bereaved person’s living conditions, how the bereaved person deals with grief, and if grief is expressed differently depending on whether it was an expected death (ED) or an unexpected death (UED). Design: A cross-sectional design was used with data collected anonymously using an online survey with semi-structured answers and options for participants to add their own comments, and it was analyzed descriptively. Result: Support in grief was mainly given by family and friends, and the perceived need was primarily for emotional support or emotional support combined with practical support, and to a greater extent for UEDs and women. For some bereaved persons, health caregivers and religious institutions provided support outside their own network. Grief can affect how people socialize with others and change social relationships. People can deal with grief in social as well as religious ways in the company of friends, through everyday conversations, spending time in nature, and having a spiritual outlook on life, and with the help of pets. Conclusion: The results can contribute to an increased understanding of grief after the loss of a significant other and how grief affects the bereaved person’s life depending on whether it is an ED or a UED. There was a difference between the genders, with women perceiving a need for and receiving different forms of support and to a greater extent than men.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cancer support and rehabilitation are suggested to be an integral part of cancer care strategies. This study focuses on comparativeness of cancer support and rehabilitation programmes. The aim of this study was to analyse available cancer support and rehabilitation programmes in Sweden presented as complementary to cancer rehabilitation at cancer clinics. A multiple case study design was chosen in order to inquire the small number of existing supportive and rehabilitative cancer programmes. Based on the structures, processes and outcomes of the nine included programmes, three types of cancer support and rehabilitation programmes were identified: multimodal rehabilitation, comprehensive cancer support and art therapy. Cancer support and rehabilitation programmes offer a variety of activities and therapies which are highly valuable and relevant for people with cancer. The typology of cancer support and rehabilitation programmes and comparability between programmes need further inquiry.

Students’ learning as the focus for shared involvement : an action research project
- 2012
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim of this participatory action research project was to develop a didactic model for specialist nursing students' postgraduate degree projects within the second cycle of higher education. The specific focus was on nurturing shared involvement between universities and practice. A series of activities at five Swedish universities and their regional practice settings was performed and a number of data sources secured before proposing a model. Tensions and conflicting views during the process of change were identified. Meaningful academic learning was found as a major concern for students. The proposed didactic model is general and can be applied in various profession-oriented programmes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background/Objective: This study is an enquiry into the process of change during the implementation of the European educational reform, the Bologna process. The aim was to critically elaborate tensio ns during the process, focusing on the implementation of the degree project into Swedish specialist nursing programmes. Methods: Data were collected in a multi-centre participatory research project during the period August 2007 to January 2011, and consisted of memorandums kept by the project members and written vignettes from questionnaires answered by students. Eighteen faculty members from five universities, 69 male and 268 female students participated. The data were analysed according to a theoretical framework of thesis: the prevailing perspective, antithesis; a challenging perspective, and synthesis: an amalgamated perspective opening for constructive development. Main findings: The findings revealed conflicting views on research-based versus clinical development-based degree projects, and deductive versus inductive didactic development. The tensions consisted of lack of trust and confidence and were expressed as excluding and supercilious behaviour from the defenders of the traditional model. Conclusions: The implementation process, addressing conflicting views, resulted in a synthesized perspective between research and clinical development, paving the way for shared involvement between students, faculty members and clinicians in regard to the students’ degree projects.

Forskningsöversikt (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The aim with this literature review was to describe content, objectives, design, and outcomes of support groups for parentally bereaved children three to twelve years of age. In a support group with children in similar situation the children's thoughts, experiences and feelings will be normalised through different activities. Pedagogical methods include creative activities of different kinds, e.g. painting, writing letters and poems, reading stories, play and games. The purposes of the methods are to accept and understand the reality of the loss, to understand and work through the grieving, to enhance family communication, and to keep the memory of the death and go on living. Organisation and structure are described in relation to development levels and ages of children and youths. Outcomes of groups are characterized by clinical observations and a dearth of evaluative studies. All bereaved children should have the opportunity to participate in a support group when a parent, sibling or other relative dies. Well developed services for bereaved children should be a matter of health care policy and quality.
