Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study explores the experiences and reflections of staff in intellectual disability (ID) services concerning ageing with ID. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 24 staff members in group homes and daily activity centres. The findings showed that the staff were uncertain about the signs of ageing in people with intellectual disabilities; they compared the life conditions of these people with conditions in older people without intellectual disabilities. Their emphasis on an active lifestyle was very strong. The staff members also mentioned uncertainty about how to facilitate assistive devices and whether ‘ageing in place’ was the best solution. The overall theme was manifested as ambivalence where notions of older people with intellectual disabilities seemed incompatible with notions of old age in general and could be explained by the theoretical concept of age coding. The findings of this study indicate the need to provide education about ageing to staff working in ID services.

Ansvar och kontroll : levd erfarenhet av ljudmiljöer hos personer med kokleaimplantat
- 2015
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka kokleaimplantatets me-ningsskapande betydelse för personer med hörselnedsättning eller dövhet i det moderna samhällets skiftande ljudmiljöer. Metod. Materialet består av intervjuer och en etnolo-gisk frågelista, där deltagarna kontaktades genom Hörselskadades Riksförbund (HRF) och Vuxendöva i Sverige (VIS). Resultat: Kokleaimplantatet kan ses som en investe-ring från individens sida. Processen att lära sig höra med implantatet är arbetsam och till och med smärt-sam, och tar mycket energi och kraft. Drivkraften att välja implantatet handlar både om en önskan att höra bättre och om en normativ strävan efter funktionsfull-komlighet. Normativa förväntningar kring muntlig kommunikation formar i hög grad upplevelser av olika ljudmiljöer och därmed vilka handlingar och strategier som framstår som moraliskt laddade. Likaså ansvarstagande och valmöjligheter ingår som en del av skapandet och förhandlandet av mening. Slutsatser: Skapandet av mening och betydelse av kokleaimplantatet kretsar kring en normativ tankefigur om funktionsfullkomlighet. I relationen mellan individ och samhälle finns ett förväntat ansvarstagande för en strävan efter funktionsfullkomlighet eller åtminstone förbättrad funktionsförmåga. Men i vardagliga praktiker, det vill säga göranden och säganden, skapas utrymme för strategier som delvis bygger på ett motstånd mot ansvarstagande och funktionsfullkomlighet.

Ansvar och kontroll. Levd erfarenhet av ljudmiljöer hos personer med kokleaimplantat.
- 2015

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Aim: This study aims at exploring how persons with hearing impairments, using cochlear implants, create and negotiate meaning in relation to soundscapes in modern society. Methods: Participants were contacted through national organisations for persons with hearing impairments. Data was gathered by means of a combination of interviews and an ethnological questionnaire. Results: For persons with cochlear implants, the process to (re)learn how to hear can be difficult, even painful. Hence, the process can be a personal investment: incentives involve increasing ones hearing, as well as a normative pursuit of able-bodiedness. Normative expectations concerning oral communication are contributing to experiences of various soundscapes, in turn rendering individual strategies morally loaded. Simultaneously, personal choice and responsibility are included as components in the process of creating and negotiating meaning. Conclusions: A person’s creation of meaning and the personal significance of the cochlear implant revolve around normative able-bodiedness, in turn entangled in the relationship between person and society. However, by using the cochlear implant in everyday practice, normative able-bodiedness is negotiated, sometimes even resisted.

Conversations about Death and Dying with Older People : An Ethnographic Study in Nursing Homes
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Healthcare. - : MDPI. - 2227-9032. ; 6:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nursing homes are often places where older persons “come to die.” Despite this, death and dying are seldom articulated or talked about. The aim of this study was to explore assistant nurses’ experiences of conversations about death and dying with nursing home residents. This study is part of an implementation project through a knowledge-based educational intervention based on palliative care principles. An ethnographic study design was applied in seven nursing homes, where eight assistant nurses were interviewed and followed in their daily assignments through participant observations. The assistant nurses stated that they had the knowledge and tools to conduct such conversations, even though they lacked the time and felt that emotional strain could be a hinder for conversations about death and dying. The assistant nurses used the strategies of distracting, comforting, and disregarding either when they perceived that residents’ reflections on death and dying were part of their illness and disease or when there was a lack of alignment between the residents’ contemplations and the concept of dying well. They indicated that ambivalence and ambiguity toward conversations about death and dying should be taken into consideration in future implementations of knowledge-based palliative care that take place in nursing homes after this project is finalized.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- From a medical point of view, walking is an activity that is becoming more and more associated with health promotion. Especially older people are encouraged to take walks, since ageing is considered to increase the risk of ill-health.The aim of this article is to discuss how older people reason about health and walking, and their use of talking walks. The article shows that the interviewees are aware of walking as health promoting, but they take walks for purposes that do not have to be related to good health at all. The normative health promotion walk is something people have to handle, but in practice, in actually walking, other possibilities of creating meaning are within reach.

Det egna lärandet : Reflektioner kring pedagogiska erfarenheter som universitetslärare
- 2020

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Denna text innehåller tre exempel på pedagogiskt utvecklingsarbete som jag som universitetslärare har erfarenhet av. Exemplen rör konstruktiv länkning, samverkan och co-teaching samt forskningsanknytning och en god lärandemiljö. Dessa exempel diskuteras utifrån pedagogiska resonemang och värderas kritiskt – vad har jag lärt mig i relation till läraruppdraget?
