Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study investigated 2 aspects of the accuracy (i.e., realism) of confidence judgments of persons age 60–93 years (N 1,384) regarding their answers to general knowledge questions. These aspects are the level of confidence (calibration) in relation to the proportion of correct answers and the ability to discriminate between correct and incorrect answers by means of confidence judgments. No age differences were found for either of the 2 aspects. Gender differences were found for proportion of correct answers and confidence but not for the realism in the confidence judgments. Keywords: aging, memory, confidence judgments, realism, general knowledge question

In tension between organization and profession : professionals in Nordic public service
- 2007
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- What is it like to be a professional in today's Nordic Public sector organisations? In Tension between Organization and Profession describes everyday problems experienced by individuals in offical positions. The authors' analyses are set against a background of rising rates of sick leave, more cases of mental burnout, decreasing resources and constant demand for professional improvement. Rapid changes in organizations, such as new forms of leadership, new technology and management by documents and the call for client-oriented practices are part of the professional working life. The individual professional is the prime focus of this book. Tensions that arise between the individual and the organization/profession are illustrated by a range of examples of problems that public officals, such as teachers, policemen and nurses, are confronted with on a daily basis. The authors discuss subjects such as increased individualization, complexity in relationships, intensified pace and fragmentation of work. The titleIn Tension between Organization and Profession intends to signal an invitation to further the research about a dynamic field where today's professionals meet the requirements of their professions and organizations.

Participatory practice : community-based action for transformative change
- 2009
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Participatory Practice explores the core ideas of participatory practice and how theory and practice can be integrated to achieve transformative change. The ideas in the book are founded on two premises: firstly, that transformative practice begins in the everyday stories that people tell about their lives and that practical theory generated from these narratives is the best way to inform both policy and practice. Secondly, that participatory practice is a tool for examining this knowledge in that it allows practitioners to examine the way they view the world and to situate their local practice within bigger social issues. The book is expected to be of interest to both academics and community-based practitioners. Professor Springett commented: “Writing the book was a transformative experience in itself because we had to cross the divide between our different professions. The idea to write it came from our joint concern for the appropriation of the language of participation by many politicians and agencies without a real examination of what true participation actually consists of."

"Det var inte så lätt som vi trodde" : tvärsektoriell samverkan på en familjecentral
- 2007
-
Ingår i: Socialmedicinsk Tidskrift. - 0037-833X. ; 84:6, s. 529-540
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Samarbete och samverkan tas ofta för givet som något gott. Men trots höga förväntningar på positiva effekter är det svårare än vad många förväntar sig. Familjecentralen som den här artikeln handlar om är ett exempel på hur tvärsektoriell samverkan kan se ut i praktiken. Personalen har tillsammans med en forskare studerat samarbetets grundvalar och i artikeln diskuteras det spänningsfält som personalen på grund av samlokalisering befinner sig i och som innebär såväl hinder som möjligheter för samarbete. För att skapa gynnsamma förutsättningar för tvärsektoriellt samarbete i en samlokaliserad verksamhet behöver följande aspekter diskuteras och övervägas. - Moderorganisationernas ledning behöver se över ekonomiska och administrativa rutiner för familjecentralen och skapa yttre förutsättningar i form av handledning och tid för lärande och utveckling inom gruppen. - Personalen behöver tänka över betydelsen av sin egen och professionens utveckling samt aspekter av den organisationskultur som de representerar och bär upp. Olikheter kan bli bränsle för lärande och utveckling i gruppen, som i sin tur kan leda till en utveckling och nytänkande i verksamheten och man kan undvika att olikheter blir grogrund för samarbetsproblem.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To describe relatives' perceived participation in discharge planning for patients with stroke and identify correlates to perceived participation. Stroke affects both patients and their relatives and previous research shows that relatives were often dissatisfied with their perceived involvement in discharge planning and the information they get. Prospective cross-sectional study. The study comprised 152 consecutively enrolled relatives (mean age = 60.8 years) of acute stroke patients admitted to a stroke unit in southern Sweden during 2003-2005. Data were collected through interviews 2-3 weeks after discharge using 'Relative's Questionnaire about Participation in Discharge planning'. This instrument measures perceived participation in three subscales: R-Information-Illness, R-Information-Care/support, and R-Goals and Needs. The Overall Rating of Relative's Perceived Participation in Discharge Planning was measured by a visual analogue scale (VAS) (1-10 score). Among the relatives, 56-68% reported positively according to R-Information-Illness, but 46-53% perceived that they did not receive any information about care/medication/rehabilitation/support. About 80% perceived no participation at all in goals and needs. The mean value of the VAS was 3.89 (SD 3.40) score. Regression analyses revealed that longer stay at hospital, patients with higher education, and relatives of female patients and female relatives were associated with relatives' perceptions of higher participation in discharge planning. Relatives perceived that they needed more information and knowledge about stroke and care/medication/rehabilitation/support. They also needed to be more involved in goal-setting and in identifying patient needs. Professionals should take into consideration these associated variables to improve relatives' perceived participation. Clinicians should give more attention to the altered situation of stroke patients' relatives when planning for continuing care and when setting postdischarge goals for the patients. The professionals need to develop strategies to involve relatives in sharing information, goal-setting and needs assessment in discharge planning.

Patients' perceptions of their participation in discharge planning after acute stroke
- 2009
-
Ingår i: Journal of Clinical Nursing. - : Wiley-Blackwell Publishing Ltd. - 0962-1067 .- 1365-2702. ; 18:2, s. 199-209

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aims and objectives. To describe stroke patients' perceptions of their participation in the discharge planning process and identify correlates of perceived participation. Background. Patients have the right to participate in discharge planning, but earlier research has shown that they are often dissatisfied with the information they receive and their involvement in goal-setting during discharge planning. Design. Cross-sectional study. Methods. The sample consisted of 188 persons (mean age 74 years, SD 11·2) with acute stroke who were admitted to a stroke unit at a hospital in southern Sweden during 2003–2005. Data was collected by face-to-face interviews 2–3 weeks after discharge using the 'Patients' Questionnaire on Participation in Discharge Planning'. This instrument measures perceived participation in discharge planning in three subscales: P-Information, P-Medical Treatment, P-Goals and Needs. Results. The percentage of patients who perceived that they had participated in discharge planning was asfollows: 72–90% according to P-Information, 29–38% according to P-Medical Treatment and 15–47% according to P-Goals and Needs. Age, education and performance of activities of daily living were significantly related to perceived participation as measured by different subscales. Conclusions. Most of the patients perceived that they received information, but fewer perceived participation in the planning of medical treatment and needs of care/service/rehabilitation and goal-setting. Professionals need to pay more attention to patients in different subgroups to facilitate their participation in discharge planning. Relevance to clinical practice. To facilitate and increase patients' participation in discharge planning, methods should be implemented for goal-setting and identifying patients' needs. Methods that foster patient participation may improve goal-orientated care, services and rehabilitation after discharge.
