- The aim of this study was to assess the reliability and validity of the Swedish version (HHI-S) of the Herth Hope Index (HHI), developed by K. Herth. The HHI-S is a 12-item Likert scale, arranged with scores from 1 to 4, where 1 is 'strongly disagree' and 4 is 'strongly agree'. The HHI-S together with the Miller Hope Scale (TMHS) and Beck's Hopelessness Scale (HS-S) were distributed to 85 adults, 40 patients with cancer in palliative care and 45 family members to patients with cancer in palliative care, recruited from four different in- and out-patient oncology clinics. The result showed an internal consistency alpha coefficient of 0.88 for the HHI-S. Concurrent criterion-related validity was assessed by correlating the HHI-S with the TMHS (r = 0.82) and the discriminant validity was assessed by correlating the HHI-S with the HS-S (r = −0.69). A varimax-rotated principal component factor analysis was performed and identified two factors; reconciliation with life situation and religiosity. Although the instrument shows sound reliability and validity, it should be used with care in clinical palliative care settings, because of linguistic, conceptual and cultural difficulties when transferring the instrument into Swedish. The result demands the work of developing an instrument measuring hope, based in the Swedish culture.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study highlights school nurses' view of schoolchildren's health and their attitude to document it in the school health records. A strategic sample of 12 school nurses was interviewed. The interviews were semistructured and analysed with qualitative content analysis. The findings showed that the school nurses' viewed schoolchildren as physical healthy although they called attention to growing problems related to a changed lifestyle. Psychosocial ill-health was however increasing and the most common reason for visiting the school nurse was psychosomatic expressions. According to the nurses' descriptions, health was related to the individual, the school and the family situation. The family situation was mentioned as one of the most important factors of schoolchildren's health. The nurses described no problem to document schoolchildren's physical health. Ethical consideration, tradition, lack of time and the structure of the record were however factors that were said to hinder the documentation of the psychosocial health. In order to promote, protect and recover schoolchildren's health, more research is needed about how beliefs, experience, ethical consideration and resources influence the school nurse's daily work with schoolchildren's health.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I denna bok sätts äldres ätande i fokus i stället för, som brukligt är, deras nutrition. Författarna utgår från de senaste forskningsrönen och visar på den praktiska betydelsen av forskningens resultat. Följande aspekter på äldres ätande tas upp: • ätandet ur ett socialt och kulturellt perspektiv • måltidsvanor, måltidsmiljö och rutiner • åldrandets, sjukdomars och munhälsans inverkan på ätandet • bedömning, behandling och bekräftelse vid svårigheter att äta • konsekvenser av svårigheter att äta • etiska aspekter på ätande • utbildning om ätande. Boken är allmängiltigt för alla som på något sätt arbetar med måltidsrelaterade uppgifter och äldres ätande på sjukhus, inom särskilt och ordinärt boende. Boken vänder sig även till studerande inom högskola och universitet. VÅRDlitt-serien är en utveckling av den tidigare FoU-serien som Vårdförbundet initierat i syfte att stärka medlemmarna i den professionella yrkesutövningen. Syftet med serien är att: • stimulera till utveckling av läromedeloch fackböcker • göra kunskapen tillgänglig • synliggöra dess tillämpbarhet • sprida angelägen kunskap.
