Facing a moral dilemma--introducing a dental care insurance within the public dental service.
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Swedish dental journal. - : Swedish dental journal. - 0347-9994. ; 36:3, s. 149-56
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Through the reform entitled "Dental care insurance-dental care at a fixed price", patients are offered a dental insurance, a capitation plan, that ensures that they can visit the dentist regularly during a period of three years at a fixed price per month (Frisktandvård).This insurance may be offered to all patients. The aim of this study was to generate a theory explaining the main concern for the staff at the public dental service when they have to introduce and advocate dental care insurance to patients. Interview data from 17 persons, representing different professions within the public dental service, were collected and analyzed simultaneously in line with guidelines for grounded theory. The results indicated that dentists/dental hygienists experienced several difficult standpoints concerning the implementation of the dental insurance, somewhat of a moral dilemma. The staff generally had a "cautiously positive attitude" to the forthcoming dental care insurance, but had perceptions how and when the patients should be offered the insurance and what that may mean to the clinic.The respondents reflected about the economic aspects for the clinic and how the oral health may be affected over time for the patients.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: The aim of the study was to explore and gain an understanding of patients' views on their periodontal conditions, their perceived impact of periodontitis on daily life, as well as their attitudes to oral health and expectations of treatment. Materials and Methods: The study subjects were patients with chronic periodontitis, who had been referred to a specialist clinic. The constant comparative method for grounded theory was used to collect and analyse the data. Audiotaped, open-ended interviews were conducted after periodontal examination, but before treatment. The interviews were transcribed verbatim and consecutively analysed in hierarchical coding processes and continued until saturation was reached (n = 17). In the analysis, a conceptual model that outlined the steps involved in the diagnosis of periodontitis was generated. The core concept of the model, keeping up appearance and self-esteem, was related to the following four additional categories and their dimensions; doing what you have to do - trying to live up to the norm, suddenly having a shameful and disabling disease, feeling deserted and in the hands of an authority, and investing all in a treatment with an unpredictable outcome. Results: The results illustrated that subjects diagnosed with chronic periodontitis felt ashamed and were willing to invest all they had in terms of time, effort and financial resources to become healthy and to maintain their self-esteem. However, they perceived a low degree of control over treatment decisions and treatment outcome. Conclusions: The results demonstrate the vulnerability of patients diagnosed with chronic periodontitis and emphasise the importance of communication in dentistry.

Vad vill vi med historielärarutbildningen?
- 2022

Ingår i: Historisk tidskrift. - 0345-469X. ; 142:4, s. 607-618

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- En central del av verksamheten vid nästan alla institutioner som bedriver undervisning och forskning i historia är att utbilda historielärare. Historiker av facket diskuterar emellertid sällan frågor om lärarutbildningens innehåll och uppläggning, utöver de som knyter an till specifika historievetenskapliga sakområden. Vad behöver framtida historielärare kunna, och hur skiljer det sig eventuellt från vad framtida historiker bör kunna? Hur förhåller sig ämnesstudier till ämnesdidaktik och utbildningsvetenskap? Svaren på den typen av frågor har stor betydelse inte bara för lärarutbildningen utan för universitetsämnet historia och dess utövare i stort. Hur ska vi som historiker förhålla oss till det? Som en utgångspunkt för en sådan diskussion har en grupp historiker verksamma inom lärarutbildningen vid Göteborgs och Örebro universitet genomfört en inventering av historiedidaktiken i ämneslärarutbildningen vid tio av totalt sjutton svenska lärosäten där sådan utbildning med inriktning mot historia inom gymnasieskolan bedrivs idag. Med hjälp av publikt tillgänglig information och en enkät via epost till de ansvariga för utbildningarna har gruppen kartlagt historiedidaktiska kursmål och kurslitteratur, examensarbetenas inriktning och vem som undervisar i historiedidaktik. Medan det finns vissa gemensamma drag i hur målen för utbildningarna formuleras, visar genomgången på betydande variationer mellan lärosätena avseende kurslitteratur, examensarbeten och bemanning. Mot den bakgrunden diskuteras i denna idé- och debattartikel vad likheter och skillnader kan bero på samt om, och i så fall hur, det är ett problem att historielärarutbildningarna är så olika.

Aspects of hypertension - a multi-perspective approach on the way towards adherence and self-management
- 2012
-
Ingår i: Fifth Geneva conference on person-centerd medicine.
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Hypertension is a long lasting condition for which a poor adherence to therapy becomes a substantial threat to the individual and public health. Major efforts have been made to explore reasons for poor adherence but few successful interventions have been designed. There is a need for effective strategies tailored for the unique needs of persons with hypertension. We set out to explore and describe relevant aspects of hypertension and hypertension treatment, from the perspective of persons with hypertension and health care providers. Focus group interviews were performed with 12 persons with hypertension and 15 health care providers and analysed according to thematic analysis. Persons with hypertension perceived trust, relationship to providers, well-being and prevention of complications as important aspects of hypertension care. Further they sought to understand the interplay between symptoms and variation of blood pressure. The providers emphasised accessibility, clear and consistent counselling, prevention of complications and educational efforts but doubted patients’ ability to be participating partners in care. The study presents aspects that persons with hypertension and health care providers deem important in hypertension self-management. Our findings provide input for future outcome measures and may increase the understanding of hypertension and treatment from a person-centred perspective.

Improved Blood Pressure Control Using an Interactive Mobile Phone Support System
- 2016

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This explorative, longitudinal study evaluated the effect of the daily use of a mobile phone-based self-management support system for hypertension in reducing blood pressure (BP) among 50 primary care patients with hypertension over 8 weeks. The self-management system comprises modules for (1) self-reports of BP, pulse, lifestyle, symptoms, and well-being; (2) delivery of reminders and encouragements; and (3) graphical feedback of self-reports. Daily use of the support system significantly reduced BP (systolic BP 7 mm Hg, diastolic BP 4.9 mm Hg) between baseline and week 8, with daily improvements leveling off as the study progressed. Three homogenous subsets of patients were identified who, despite different initial BP levels, showed similar decreases in BP during the study, indicating that patients benefited irrespective of baseline BP. In showing significant reductions in BP, our results suggest that the self-management support system may be a useful tool in clinical practice to help patients self-manage their hypertension.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper reports on how the clinical consultation in primary care is performed under the new premises of patients’ daily self-reporting and self-generation of data. The aim was to explore and describe the structure, topic initiation and patients’ contributions in follow-up consultations after eight weeks of self-reporting through a mobile phone-based hypertension self-management support system. A qualitative, explorative study design was used, examining 20 audio- (n=10) and video-recorded (n=10) follow-up consultations in primary care hypertension management, through interaction analysis. Clinical trials registry: ClinicalTrials.gov NCT01510301. The consultations comprised three phases: opening, examination and closing. The most common topic was blood pressure (BP) put in relation to self-reported variables, for example, physical activity and stress. Topic initiation was distributed symmetrically between parties and BP talk was lifestyle-centered. The patients’ contributed to the interpretation of BP values by connecting them to specific occasions, providing insights to the link between BP measurements and everyday life activities. Patients’ contribution through interpretations of BP values to specific situations in their own lives brought on consultations where the patient as a person in context became salient. Further, the patients’ and health care professionals’ equal contribution during the consultations showed actively involved patients. The mobile phone-based self-management support system can thus be used to support patient involvement in consultations with a person-centered approach in primary care hypertension management
