Genes and insurance : Ethical, legal and economic issues
- 2003
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- The authors of this study emphasize the effectiveness of collectively funded public insurances as opposed to genetic information regulation within the private insurance sector. Genetics has provided tools to determine individuals' risk of future disease, which is of key interest for insurance companies in determining insurance premiums; but persons with high enough risk may remain uninsured. For this reason, genetic information has been regulated. But, regulation may not be the solution, according to the authors, and they call for the resumption of social insurance, a key element of the welfare state.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose: The aim of this paper was to describe how people living with a neurological disability such as multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease and stroke reason regarding using apps to facilitate self-management in everyday life.Material and methods: A qualitative research approach with a focus group methodology was used. The sample comprised 16 participants, 11 men and 5 women, with an average age of 64 years (ranging from 51–80 years). Six participants were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis, six with Parkinson’s disease and four with stroke. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, which is a method for identifying, analyzing and reporting patterns.Results: The results formed two themes. The first theme “using apps to have control of my health” comprises two subthemes; “monitor and take responsibility for a healthy lifestyle” and “compensate to facilitate everyday life”. The second theme “using the app as a tool and means for communication” also comprised two subthemes; “dare to trust the app” and “feeling safe when sharing information with health care professionals”.Conclusions: The use of apps put increased responsibility on the person and had the possibility to make them more involved in their own care. The use of an app can facilitate a healthy lifestyle and help to monitor disease-specific symptoms. In order to be able to use apps for communication with the health care sector legislation and safety issues need to be considered.

Repeated and Systematic Intimate Partner Violence in Rural Areas in Sweden
- 2021

Ingår i: International Criminology. - : Springer. - 2662-9968 .- 2662-9976. ; 1:3, s. 220-233

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Violence against women lacks geographical boundaries, although research demonstrates higher rates of such violence in rural areas compared to urban areas. The repeated and systematic intimate partner violence (IPV) is especially problematic in isolated areas. This study aims to investigate how repeated and systematic IPV, was handled by the criminal justice system in rural areas in Sweden and how risk and victim vulnerability factors were related to recidivism in this longitudinal prospective study. The sample consisted of alleged perpetrators of repeated and systematic IPV who had been either reported, charged, or convicted of repeated and systematic IPV defined according to the Swedish Law Gross Violation of a Woman’s Integrity targeting such violence, in two rural Swedish police districts during 2011–2014 (N = 258). Results demonstrated that 30% of IPV perpetrators were charged with the Gross violation offense and 5% were charged for other IPV-related offenses. The conviction for the Gross violation offense was 11% and 24% for other IPV-related offenses. 56% were not charged or convicted of any IPV-related offenses. Perpetrators convicted of the Gross Violation offense were more likely to receive longer prison sentences than perpetrators convicted of other IPV-related offenses. Victim cooperation in the police investigation increased the likelihood for prosecution with 7.3 times and for a conviction with 6.1 times. In terms of recidivism 24% engaged in IPV towards the same victim and another 27% recidivated into general criminality. Recidivists had higher summary risk ratings and more individual risk factors than non-recidivists, such as general criminality, employment problems and mental health problems, and victim vulnerability factors including personal problems. To reduce re-victimization, risk and vulnerability factors and supporting victims to cooperate in the police investigation should be considered when forming risk management strategies to protect victims of repeated and systematic IPV in such rural areas.

Primary healthcare nurses' experiences with motivational interviewing in health promotion practice
- 2011
-
Ingår i: Journal of Clinical Nursing. - Oxford : Wiley-Blackwell. - 0962-1067 .- 1365-2702. ; 20:23-24, s. 3322-3330

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim. The aim of the study was to describe primary healthcare nurses’ experiences with motivational interviewing as a method for health promotion practice.Background. A person’s lifestyle has a major effect on his or her health. Motivational interviewing is one way of working with lifestyle changes in health promotion practice. The basic plan of motivational interviewing is to help people understand their lifestyle problems and make positive lifestyle changes. Motivational interviewing has been proven to be more effective than conventional methods in increasing patient motivation.Design. This study has a descriptive design and uses a qualitative method.Methods. Twenty nurses who worked in primary health care and actively used motivational interviewing in their work were interviewed. Qualitative content analysis was used to process the data.Results. The primary healthcare nurses’ experiences with motivational interviewing as a method of health promotion practice demonstrate that motivational interviewing is a demanding, enriching and useful method that promotes awareness and guidance in the care relationship. The results also show that motivational interviewing is a valuable tool for primary healthcare nurses’ health promotion practice.Conclusion. This study shows that motivational interviewing places several different demands on nurses who use this method. Those who work with motivational interviewing must make an effort to incorporate this new method to avoid falling back into the former practice of simply giving advice. Maintaining an open mind while implementing motivational interviewing in real healthcare settings is crucial for nurses to increase this method’s effectiveness.Relevance to clinical practice. The nurses in the study had a positive experience with motivational interviewing, which can contribute to the increased use, adaption and development of motivational interviewing among primary healthcare professionals. Increased motivational interviewing knowledge and skills would also contribute to promotion of health lifestyle practices.

- 2021
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Inom ramen för undertecknads uppdrag som goodwill-ambassadör för Glöm aldrig Pela och Fadime (GAPF) under året 2020 påbörjades ett tvärvetenskapligt samarbete vid Karlstads universitet som fokuserar på frågeställningen – Vad har högre utbildning med hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck att göra? Samverkande ämnesdiscipliner är folkhälsovetenskap, juridik, lärarutbildningen och socialt arbete. Forskarsamarbetet har under denna relativt korta tid utmynnat i en antologi.Syftet med denna antologi är bland annat att uppmärksamma och bidra med kunskapsstöd om det nya examensmålet i högskoleförordningen gällande mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer. Fokus är att ge en övergripande bild av hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck, samt att bidra med kunskaper om våldets uttryckssätt och dess konsekvenser. Antologin utgår från de drabbades perspektiv.I boken ges handfasta råd till de universitetslärare som ansvarar för undervisning och examination rörande mäns våld mot kvinnor i nära relationer i högre professionsutbildning. Exempelvis lärare, jurister, sjuksköterskor, psykologer, tandhygienister och socionomer. Boken vänder sig till studenter i högre utbildning. Boken vänder sig också till yrkesverksamma som möter utsatta för hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck. Boken är även lämplig för beslutsfattare, för forskare och de som ansvarar för att utarbeta riktlinjer och handlingsplaner på området för mäns våld mot kvinnor, inklusive hedersrelaterat våld och förtryck.Redaktör för antologin är Marie Karlsson-Tuula, professor i civilrätt. Övriga författare är Helén Olsson, universitetslektor i socialt arbete, Carolina Jernbro, universitetslektor i folkhälsovetenskap och Nina Thelander, universitetslektor i pedagogiskt arbete och prodekan för lärarutbildningen, samtliga verksamma vid Karlstads universitet, samt universitetslektor Annika Norée, docent i straffrätt vid Stockholms universitet.

Psychiatric diagnoses and criminal convictions in youth : A population-based study of comorbidities of diagnoses
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Journal of criminal justice. - : Elsevier. - 0047-2352 .- 1873-6203. ; 88
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Psychiatric diagnoses are important risk factors for criminal convictions, but few longitudinal studies have examined comorbidity patterns in relation to youth criminal convictions.Aim: To explore associations between specific psychiatric diagnoses (substance use disorder (SUD), ADHD, depression, PTSD, intellectual disabilities (ID), and autism spectrum disorders (ASD)) and comorbidities of internalizing, externalizing, or neurodevelopmental diagnoses (NDD) in relation to risk of non-violent or violent criminal convictions in youth, including potential sex differences.Methods: Data on 1,411,538 individuals born in Sweden (1985–1998) were obtained from national population-based registers. Exposure was psychiatric diagnoses and outcome was criminal convictions between ages 15 and 20.Results: 17% of individuals had a psychiatric diagnosis, of whom 20% were convicted of a crime. All diagnoses, except ID and ASD, increased the risk of non-violent and violent crimes. Comorbidities of externalizing and internalizing diagnoses heightened the risk compared to single diagnoses. NDD increased the risk among SUD, depression, and PTSD, while NDD comorbid with another NDD decreased the risk for criminal convictions.Conclusion: Of the three comorbidity categories, externalizing disorders heightened risk the most, followed by internalizing disorders. This study highlights specific risk patterns for criminal convictions related to comorbidities, and to crime type and sex.

Att utreda påstådda sexuella övergrepp: docent Svedin "lägger pussel"
- 1997
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet är att klargöra och kritiskt diskutera ett antal viktiga utredningsmetodiska problem i anslutning till ett rättsfall, där en sakkunnig (docent Svedin) använder en vetenskapligt icke hållbar "lägga pussel"-metodik. Denna metodik har långt tidigare inom psykoanalysen förespråkats av Freud och Fenichel. Metodiken innebär bl.a. cirkulär logik och ensidigt bekräftelsesökande.

Flumpsykologi i barnpsykiatriska journaler rörande tre barn. : Grovt missbruk av psykologi av psykolog.
- 2010
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet är att studera utredningsmetodik och tänkande i barnpsykiatriska journaler m.m. hörande till ett fall inom socialtjänsten. Det påvisas stora mängder metod.- och tankefel av psykolog m.fl. personal. Ett avsevärt antal citat ur texten belägger omfattande kognitiv patologi hos utredare. Utredare med så allvarliga brister i kognitivt fungerande måste bedömas vara farliga/skadliga för familjer och i synnerhet för barn samt inverkar destruktivt på samhället i övrigt.
