- Interprofessional team collaboration (ITC) in the Swedish Occupational Health Service is an important part of the service given to the customer. The Occupational Health Service (OHS) could be more competitive if they were able to show how successful is their ITC. The Assessment of Interprofessional Team Collaboration Scale (AITCS) is an instrument that measures ITC in teams working with the client as part of the team. The aim of this study was to adapt the Swedish version of the instrument for use in OHS and to evaluate the psychometric properties of the adapted version and the adapted short version. The study included 472 participants from different OHSs, all members of the trade association of occupational health care in Sweden. Face and content validity of the instrument were assessed, and floor and ceiling effects were measured. Internal consistency was measured with Cronbach's alpha and an exploratory factor analysis was conducted on the 42-item adapted instrument and the short, 24-item version. The exploratory factor analysis gave a three-factor solution with an eigenvalue >1 and explaining a total variance of 57.1% and 62.3% for the short version. The study concludes that AITCS-S-(OHS) as well as the short version, is a reliable and valid questionnaire. Further development of the AITCS-S-(OHS) needs to be undertaken and assessed by confirmatory factor analysis.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Aims: We describe the first large-scale translation and cross-cultural adaptation into Swedish of ten pediatric PROMIS item banks: Anger (9-items), Anxiety (15-items), Depressive symptoms (14-items) ,Cognitive function (43-items), Family relationships (47-items), Fatigue (25-items), Pain interference (20-items), Peer relationships (15-items), Physical activity (10-items), Positive affect (38-items) and Profile-25.Methods: ISPOR recommendations were followed. There view was carried out in multi-professional small groups of twelve health-related quality-of-life researchers, pediatric clinicians and linguists from different geographical regions in a two-day workshop. Cross-cultural comparisons were made to identify problems and to produce a consensus-derived version, which was then back translated, evaluated, and revised where necessary. Prior translations and review of version 1 of the item-banks were utilized (4 item-banks). There viewed item-banks were presented in four sessions of cognitive debriefings over 2 years with twenty-two young people (8-18 years) in three dialectically different regions of Sweden before finalization.Results: One hundred and seventy-five items were translated. All item banks had translation issues to be resolved. Sixty-six items (38%) needed resolution at the cognitive debriefing stage, the majority of issues were in the area of unclear definitions in the English items (35 items), followed by language and cultural differences (16 issues) and age appropriate language (14 items). The cultural issues identified were 1) identifying suitable word alternative to match the English where Swedish lacked the volume of words to choose from; 2) adjectival agreement on intensity levels of the concept to be translated; 3) culturally specific idiomatic phrases; 4) use of linguistically specific homonyms in English that did not match Swedish word usage; 5) cultural differences in describing members of the family unit and the family unit itself.Conclusion: The Swedish translations of ten PROMIS Pediatric item banks and Profile-25 were rigorously translated using internationally standardized methods. Close consideration of the translations, and multiple translations helped to ensure conceptual equivalence and comprehensibility. The banks are culturally adapted and appropriate for the age range 8 to 18 years. They can be used for clinical trials and routine pediatric health care.

- PURPOSE: The aim of the study was to describe the loss of a family member by suicide, based on the lived experience of suicide survivors.METHODS: A phenomenology study with a Reflective Lifeworld Research approach was conducted, consisting of sixteen interviews with eight suicide survivors.RESULTS: The essence of losing a family member by suicide encompasses experiences of involuntary and existential loneliness, life suffering, and additional burdens in a life that is radically transformed, comprising prolonged and energy-intensive attempts to understand. Life for the family member encompasses a constant fear of being judged and an ambiguous silence, where this silence can both lead to involuntary loneliness and be a source of support and fellowship. Support mechanisms inside the family fall apart, and it becomes obvious that the survivors' experiences affect others. The loss also implies an active endeavour to maintain the memory of the deceased.CONCLUSIONS: Based on these results, it is important for professionals to accept the survivors as suffering human beings early-from the point of the notification of death-and consider them as patients in need of compassionate care. Such support might reduce life suffering, counteract stigma and involuntary loneliness, and work simultaneously as suicide prevention.

- 2013

Annan publikation (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Objective The combined test for Down syndrome is offered to pregnant women. Qualitative studies have shown that the decision, whether or not to accept the test,is a rational one for most couples, although for some it may be difficult. Little is known about the couples’ satisfaction with the decision afterwards; the aim of this study was to extend that knowledgeMethod Pregnant women and their partners were invited to fill out a questionnaire at approximately pregnancy week 20. The questionnaire, which covered aspects of their decision on prenatal testing, was based on the Decision Regret Scale, with additional questionsResults The response rate was 77% (295/359 women and 223/315 partners). The decision whether or not to participate in the combined test was seen as mutual by 95% of the women and 96% of the partners, and was perceived as uncomplicated by 93% of both women and partners. The decision was considered as difficult/very difficult by 6%. With a range of 93% – 99% women and partners were satisfied with their decision afterwards, but 1%–7% were notConclusion The majority of the participants were satisfied wither their decision. However, a small minority were not, which is important to recognize.

- Background: Pregnant women are often faced with having to decide about prenatal screening for Down’s syndrome. However,the decision to participate in or refrain from prenatal screening can be seen as an important decision not only for the pregnant woman but also for both the partners.Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the couples’ processes of decision making about prenatal screening.Methods: A total of 37 semi-structured interviews conducted at two time points were analysed using the interpretive description.Setting: The study was carried out in Maternal health-care centres,Örebro County Council, Sweden.Participants: Fifteen couples of different ages and with different experiences of pregnancy and childbirth were interviewed.Results: Three different patterns of decision making were identified. For the couples in The open and communicative decision-making process’, the process was straightforward and rational, and the couples discussed the decision with each other. ‘The closed and personal decision-making process’ showed an immediate and non-communicative decision making where the couples decided each for themselves. The couples showing ‘The searching and communicative decision-making process’ followed an arduous road in deciding whether to participate or not in prenatal screening and how to cope with the result.Conclusions: The decision-making process was for some couples a fairly straightforward decision, while for others it was a more complex process that required a great deal of consideration.
