- The aim of this study was to shed light on health promotion from the perspective of individuals living with head and neck cancer. Eight informants were interviewed and latent content analysis was used. Individuals living with head and neck cancer experienced many problems that had a negative impact on their health. One overarching main theme was demonstrated; the ability to regain control and empower oneself. Three themes emerged: (1) Being enabled by dialogue with one's inner self, including three sub-themes: transformed and improved self-esteem, recognising and embracing existentiality, and increased self-determination. (2) Being enabled by means of contact with a social network, including two sub-themes: emotional support and practical support. (3) Being enabled by means of contact with and a passion for the environment, including two sub-themes: nature, hobbies and activities. Empowerment, the goal of health promotion, was understood as an ongoing process, and the ability to promote health varied and was dependent on internal and external enabling of acting and doing. The interpretation of this ongoing process demonstrates interplay assisted by a dialogue with one's inner self, contact with a social network and a passion for the environment. Altogether, these findings may inspire nurses and other health care professionals to support the individual's empowerment process and pose non-pathology-oriented questions such as "what improves your health?" or "what makes you feel good?"

- Aim. To illuminate what it means to live with head and neck cancer.Background. Patients could experience head and neck cancer as more emotionally traumatic than other cancers because of visible disfigurement and its life-threatening impact on vital functions. This long-term illness often leads to lifestyle changes such as to physical function, work and everyday tasks, interpersonal relationships and social functioning.Design. This study used a qualitative and explorative longitudinal and prospective design with semi-structured interviews and open-ended questions. Twenty-one interviews were conducted with six participants with newly diagnosed or newly recurrent head and neck cancer. The analysis was descriptive and interpretive.Findings. The participants were living 'in captivity' in the sense that their symptoms were constant reminders of the disease. Our findings also revealed existential loneliness and spiritual growth, as interpreted within six themes: altered sense of affiliation; hostage of health care; locked up in a broken body, but with a free spirit; confined in a rogue body, forced dependency on others, and caught up in a permanent illness trajectory.Conclusions. Living with head and neck cancer involves emotional and existential vulnerability. The participants and their next of kin experienced insufficient support from health services and inadequate coordination between phases of their lengthy illness trajectory. These findings call for changes in oncological rehabilitation and management. Patient care must take a holistic view of everyone involved, centring on the individual and the promotion of health. A care coordinator could navigate between the individual patient needs and appropriate health services, hopefully with results that lessen the individual's emotional and existential confinement.

Collaboration in the making-towards a practice-based approach to university innovation intermediary organisations
- 2020
-
Ingår i: Sustainability (Switzerland). - : MDPI AG. - 2071-1050. ; 12:12
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study aims to understand and explore situations of collaboration between various actors in connection with a university-driven innovation intermediary organisation, and how the intermediary organisation facilitates collaboration in the making. To this end, we employ a case of a university-driven long-lasting intermediary organisation within the agricultural and forestry sectors. We examine three collaborative situations, using practice-based research and process theories as theoretical perspectives. A narrative approach is adopted as the method of investigation. The findings are presented in a conceptual model where the structures of the intermediary organisation are translated into practices, against which individuals can develop their collaboration processes. It is concluded that collaboration in the making is formed in the interplay between structures, practices and processes in relations between people. This implies that the organising of collaboration should focus its attention not only on structures but also on the practices and processes formed between people. The study contributes to the understanding of the organising of university innovation intermediary organisations by untangling the relations between structures, practices and processes in situations of collaboration between people.

Vårdprogram minskar postoperativt illamående : en klinisk naturalistisk interventionsstudie
- 2009
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Kraven på hälso- och sjukvårdspersonalens kompetens och insatser ökar. De bör ha ett vetenskapligt förhållningssätt och arbeta utifrån evidensbaserad omvårdnad för att ge en god och säker vård. Vårdpersonalen på en kirurgavdelning upplevde att ett stort antal patienter var illamående postoperativt. Syftet: var att utvärdera effekterna av införandet av ett vårdprogram för postoperativt illamående för patienter som genomgått planerad operation inom mage/tarm. Metod: Studien har haft en kvantitativ, deskriptiv, jämförande pre- och postinterventions design. Metoden som har använts var enkät med strukturerade frågor. Enkäten har använts vid två tillfällen, före (kontrollgrupp) och efter (interventionsgrupp) införandet av vårdprogram för postoperativt illamående. Resultat: Signifikanta skillnader förelåg så tillsvida att interventionsgruppen hade lägre förekomst av postoperativt illamående, kväljningar och kräkningar postoperativt jämfört med kontrollgruppen. Slutsats: Vårdprogram för patienter med mag- och/eller tarmoperation är effektivt för att minska postoperativt illamående. Den här använda metodiken för framtagande, implementering och utvärdering av vårdprogram kan med fördel användas för andra vårdområden. Sannolikt kan vårdprogrammet med fördel användas till andra patienter där postoperativt illamående är en riskfaktor.

Närsjukvård : vad innebär det i Region Skåne?
- 2007
-
Ingår i: FoU-tidningen. ; :6, s. 7-8
-
Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I forskningsplattformens uppdrag ingick att följa och dokumentera närsjukvårdsutvecklingen i regionen. Som ett första steg i detta arbete intervjuades 97 medborgare, medarbetare och beslutsfattare om vad de lade in i begreppet närsjukvård. Avsikten var att ta reda på hur olika grupper såg på vad närsjukvård var eller borde vara. Ett vanligt svar bland framför allt medborgare och medarbetare var att de hade hört talas om närsjukvård men att termen var tvetydig, oklar och kunde förstås på olika sätt. I avsaknad av en klar definition försökte de förstå genom att associera till orden nära och sjukvård.

Life satisfaction among older people (65+) with reduced self-care capacity: the relationship to social, health and financial aspects
- 2006

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aims and objectives. This study aimed at investigating life satisfaction and its relation to living conditions, overall health, self-care capacity, feeling lonely, physical activities and financial resources among people (65+) with reduced self-care capacity. Background. Knowledge about factors related to low life satisfaction among older people with reduced self-care capacity is sparse, although this is important in health care and nursing so that the care is adapted to their needs and perspective. Previous research has mainly focused on isolated aspects such as pain in relation to life satisfaction among older people in general and less among so those with reduced self-care capacity in general. Design and method. A subsample of 522 persons was selected from a randomly selected cross-sectional survey using a modified form of the Older Americans' Resources Schedule and Life Satisfaction Index Z. Results. The mean age in the total sample was 77.9; women (79.5) were significantly older than men (77.0). Low life satisfaction was found among women, as well as those living in special accommodations. Life Satisfaction Index Z was 15.3 (SD 5.6) in the total sample. Gender and living conditions did not explain life satisfaction whilst poor overall self-reported health and poor financial resources in relation to needs had the strongest explanatory value. Also of significant importance were loneliness, the degree of reduced self-care capacity and feeling worried. Conclusion. Life satisfaction in older people with reduced self-care capacity is determined by several factors, with social, physical, mental and financial aspects probably interacting with each other; especially feeling lonely, degree of self-care capacity, poor overall health, feeling worried and poor financial resources in relation to needs. These factors need to be considered in the care of these people to preserve or improve their life satisfaction. Relevance to clinical practice. Nursing interventions in terms of preventive home visits, rehabilitation, health education directed towards physical, psychological, social and economic aspects of importance may help to preserve or improve life satisfaction for those with reduced self-care capacity.

On the road to research municipalities : Analysing transdisciplinarity in municipal ecosystem services and adaptation planning

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Transdisciplinary research and collaboration is widely acknowledged as a critical success factor for solution- oriented approaches that can tackle complex sustainability challenges, such as biodiversity loss, pollution, and climate-related hazards. In this context, city governments’ engagement in transdisciplinarity is generally seen as a key condition for societal transformation towards sustainability. However, empirical evidence is rare. This paper presents a self-assessment of a joint research project on ecosystem services and climate adaptation planning (ECOSIMP) undertaken by four universities and seven Swedish municipalities. We apply a set of design principles and guiding questions for transdisciplinary sustainability projects and, on this basis, identify key aspects for supporting university–municipality collaboration. We show that: (1) selecting the number and type of project stakeholders requires more explicit consideration of the purpose of societal actors’ participation; (2) concrete, interim benefits for participating practitioners and organisations need to be continuously discussed; (3) promoting the ‘inter’, i.e., interdisciplinary and inter-city learning, can support transdisciplinarity and, ultimately, urban sustainability and long-term change. In this context, we found that design principles for transdisciplinarity have the potential to (4) mitigate project shortcomings, even when transdisciplinarity is not an explicit aim, and (5) address differences and allow new voices to be heard. We propose additional guiding questions to address shortcomings and inspire reflexivity in transdisciplinary projects.
