Portar till språk och litteratur : CSL 2007
- 2007
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Språk och litteratur öppnar portar till nya världar. Detta var temat för 2007 års CSL-dag. I denna bok har vi samlat fjorton av bidragen som presenterades på konferensen, skrivna av forskare och studenter vid Karlstads universitet.Håller engelskan på att förstöra svenskan? Är dagens elever sämre på att skriva än ungdomarna var för tjugo år sedan? Skall vi ha en litteraturkanon i skolan - och läser eleverna över huvud taget böcker nu för tiden? Detta är några av de frågor som ställs i artiklarna där svaren kanske kan överraska.Andra artiklar handlar om hur man stimulerar elever till att läsa och skriva, problematiken när det gäller att undervisa i svenska som andraspråk och varför elever väljer - eller inte väljer - att studera något annat främmande språk än engelska. Porten kanske finns där - men den är inte alltid helt lätt att öppna!

Öppen vetenskap och forskningsbibliotekens nya roller
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Bidrag från universitetspedagogisk konferens 2021. - Karlstad : Karlstads universitet. - 9789178672974 - 9789178673087 ; , s. 109-127

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Öppen vetenskap eller Open Science innebär att alla moment och resultat i forskningen görs fritt tillgängliga via internet. Genom den digitala teknikens utveckling har öppen vetenskap blivit en global rörelse. Detta gäller främst tillgången till vetenskapliga publikationer och forskningsdata. Forskningsresultat som är öppna och tillgängliga även utanför forskarsamhället får en ökad användning och nytta i samhället. Hela forskningsprocessen blir mer transparant när forskningen snabbt finns tillgänglig online och fler kan ta aktiva roller eller inleda samarbeten. Även öppna undervisningsresurser som skapas vid universiteten, ofta kallade OER (Open Educational Resources) ingår i det övergripande begreppet Open Science. De har stor betydelse i högre utbildning och kan vara viktiga resurser i det livslånga lärandet (Eellend, 2017). Sättet att publicera och sprida information eller litteratur förändras snabbt och ställer höga krav på lärarna att kunna navigera mellan olika litteraturresurser och veta hur man hittar och får använda sig av bibliotekets databaser, fria forskningsresurser och övriga fria resurser (Creelman, 2011). Biblioteken har genom sin traditionella uppgift, att tillgängliggöra information och att ansvara för publiceringsstöd, fått en allt viktigare uppgift som samordnare av olika nya tjänster som referenshanteringssystem, bibliometri, upphovsrätt mm. Tyvärr saknar ofta lärare och forskare vetskap om vilka nya tjänster och kompetenser som finns på forskningsbiblioteken. Förutom att tillhandahålla egna litteraturresurser och databaser har biblioteken stor kunskap om öppen vetenskap och öppna lärresurser och kan bistå studenter och lärare i att söka och använda fritt material (Smith & Lee, 2017). Nedstängningen av universitet och bibliotek under coronapandemin har aktualiserat frågan om öppna lärresurser.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction The management of type 1 diabetes, a non-preventable chronic disease, leads to a high physical and psychological burden on the individual. Digital health technology can improve a person's psychosocial self-efficacy and thereby contribute to improved diabetes self-care. The aim of this study was to explore associations between psychosocial self-efficacy and demographic-, disease specific-, well-being as well as digital health technology (DHT) related factors among adults with type 1 diabetes.Methods A primarily web-based cross sectional survey was conducted among adults with type 1 diabetes in Sweden (n = 301). Psychosocial self-efficacy was assessed using the Swedish version of the Diabetes Empowerment Scale, Swe-DES-23. The survey also contained questions related to demographic-, disease specific-, well-being as well as digital health technology related variables.Results Higher well-being scores and lower HbA1c levels were associated with higher psychosocial self-efficacy in multiple linear regression analysis. In multivariate analysis, gender, body mass index, well-being scores, and HbA1c levels showed association with psychosocial self-efficacy. None of the DHT factors were found associated with psychosocial self-efficacy.Conclusions In this study, higher well-being score and lower self-reported HbA1c levels were associated with higher psychosocial self-efficacy in both univariate- and multivariate analysis and accounted for 30% of the variation in psychosocial self-efficacy in the regression model. Thus, measures to improve psychosocial self-efficacy in adults with type 1 diabetes may help maintain their psychological well-being and blood glucose control.

Newly graduated registered nurses’ clinical competence, professional development and work situation : In acute care hospital settings
- 2020
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The overall aim of this thesis was to explore and describe newly graduated registered nurses’ self-assessed clinical competences, professional development, work situation, and perceptions of managing nursing care in complex patient situations during their first 18 months of clinical practice in acute care hospital settings.Methods: Cross-sectional and longitudinal data were collected from NGRNs with 2-15 months of work experience using the instrument Professional Nurse Self-Assessment Scale of clinical core competences II. Qualitative data were collected through focus group interviews with NGRNs after both six and 18 months of work experience.Main results: After two months of work experience, participating NGRNs rated their clinical competence as being highest in clinical leadership and lowest in professional development. Need for further training was greatest in direct clinical practice and lowest in collaborating. After 6 months of work experience, the NGRNs were not being sufficiently prepared and supported to meet responsibilities and demands. Between 2 and 15 months, clinical competence was assessed highest in ethics, teamwork and clinical leadership, lowest in professional development and critical thinking. The need for further training was highest in direct clinical practice, lowest in ethics, teamwork and clinical leadership. Self-rated clinical competence increased substantially when the NGRNs had worked between 9-15 months and after 18 months, nurses generally felt secure in their roles but faced challenges with regard to work situations that hindered their professional development.Conclusion: These results demonstrate the importance of improving NGRNs’ work situation and supporting their development of clinical competence including their need for further training, which would contribute to increased quality of care and patient safety as well as increased professional development among NGRNs.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: To examine the extent and nature of missed nursing care in elderly care in community healthcare contexts from the perspective of healthcare staff, and to identify instruments used to measure missed nursing care and the content of these instruments. Design: Scoping review. Methods: Searches were conducted in the CINAHL, PubMed, Scopus and Google Scholar databases in March 2020. The selection process followed the PRISMA flow diagram. Results: Sixteen research papers were found from nine countries. The instruments used in the studies were Basel Extent of Rationing of Nursing Care for nursing homes (BERNCA-NH), modified MISSCARE survey and study-specific instruments or items. The item content differed, as did the number of items, which was between one and 44. The studies reported values for missed nursing care, as well as described reasons for and/or the relation between missed nursing care and organization, working climate and patient outcomes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- IntroductionFirst-line managers in Swedish communities have responsibility for that care to older people is provided, staffing is sufficient and the budget is balanced in their unit. It is a struggle with limited resources due to a growing population in need of care. This can lead to missed nursing care. The aim was to describe first-line managers perceptions of missed nursing care in community health care for older people.MethodsA qualitative design with a phenomenographic approach, interviewing 24 first-line managers. Ethics approval for the study was received from the Research Ethics Committee at Karlstad University (Dnr HNT 2020/566).ResultsThe results are shown in six descriptive categories containing 15 perceptions. The descriptive categories are 'occurrence of missed nursing care', 'becoming aware of missed nursing care', 'reasons for missed nursing care', 'missed nursing care has consequences for the older persons', 'missed nursing care has consequences for the staff' and 'taking action to decrease missed nursing care'.ConclusionsIt is important for first-line managers to become aware of the existence and reasons for missed nursing, as it has consequences for older people and staff. Managers need to take missed nursing care seriously in order to work with improvements for maintaining good quality of care and patient safety.

Ingår i: BMC Nursing. - : BioMed Central (BMC). - 1472-6955. ; 21:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background With an ageing population, there is an increasing need for care, both as home care and in nursing homes. However, some needed care is not carried out for different reasons, which can affect patient safety. The aim of the study was to describe prevalence, type, and reasons for missed nursing care in home care and nursing homes, from nurses' perspective. Methods A cross sectional design with quantitative and qualitative approach. A Swedish version of Basel Extent of Rationing of Nursing Care for nursing homes and 15 study specific questions were answered by 624 registered nurses, enrolled nurses, or nurse assistants. Both descriptive and analytical, independent-samples t-test, analyses were used. Qualitative content analysis was used for the open-ended question. Results The care activity most often missed in home care was: 'set up or update care plans' (41.8%), and in nursing homes: 'scheduled group activity' (22.8%). Reasons for missed nursing care were lack of preparedness for unexpected situations, obstacles in a deficient work environment, unsatisfactory planning in the organisation, and/or shortcomings related to the individual. Conclusion Not all care activities needed are performed, due to reasons such as lack of time or organisational issues. Missed nursing care can lead to adverse events and affect patient safety. It is important to be aware of missed nursing care and the reasons for it, which gives a possibility to initiate quality improvement work to ensure patient safety.
