Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Bakgrund Rollatorn uppfanns 1978 i Västerås av Aina Wifalk. Idag är Sverige det rullator-tätaste landet i världen och det förskrivs ca 60 000 rullatorer per år. SCB beräknade 2007 att 240 000 personer använde rollator, bland dem ingick var tredje person över 80 år. 2014 fanns 499 000 personer i åldern 80+ i Sverige, år 2030 beräknas antalet ha ökat till 826 000 och 2060 så många som 1 210 000. Om kvoten rollatoranvändare kvarstår kan vi alltså år 2060 räkna med 720 000 rollatoranvändare, bara i åldersgruppen 80+. Användare av rollatorer tillhör gruppen oskyddade trafikanter, men är sällan uppmärksammade i trafiksäkerhetskontexten. Syftet med studien är därför att analysera olycks- och skadedata, som inrapporterats till den nationella databasen STRADA, där användare av rollatorer varit involverade. Resultatet av studien ger värdefull kunskap om risker och hinder som användare av rollator utsätts för i olika typer av trafikmiljöer. Syftet är också att studien ska kunna bidra till att förbättra rörligheten för denna grupp på lång sikt. Metod Studien baseras på olycks- och skadedata från totalt 2 020 rapporterade olyckor med rollator. Inledningsvis undersöktes om antalet rollatorolyckor ökar, minskar eller är konstant över tid. Därefter registrerades varje olycka som antingen ”singel” (N=1 668) eller ”kollision” (N=352). Resultat och slutsats Studien visade på en nästan fördubbling av antalet rollatorrelaterade olyckor i Sverige under perioden 2007–2016. Vidare var ca tre gånger fler kvinnor än män involverade i olyckor med rollator. I en majoritet av singelolyckorna slog användaren i marken. Många av singelolyckorna orsakades av nivåskillnader/kanter, ojämnt underlag eller snubbling. Bilar, lastbilar eller bussar var inblandade i 79% av kollisionerna. Dessa inträffade ofta vid parkeringsplatser, korsningar eller vägsträcka; i många av fallen blev rollatoranvändaren påbackad.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The entrenchment of the welfare state and increasing inequalities, are challenges social workers in Sweden (and elsewhere) have to respond to. Within the BA social work programme at the University of Gothenburg, Sweden, one course specifically aims to equip students with knowledge and skills to meet the demands of local and global communities and to become active agents in the shaping of a sustainable society. The course is offered third year students; each semester approximately 120 students take the 3-week full time course. The course builds on three parts: 1) Acquisition and practical application of relevant theoretical positions through a series of lectures with experts in the field of social work, human rights, media & communication, community work and urban development. 2) Building an insight into the processes of social work at a community level and promoting participation in wider public debates through study visits (such as community based youth work field visits, participation in directly broadcasted TV-debates, work-shops in urban planning). 3) Developing skills (such as critical thinking, community advocacy & ecological awareness) to become active agents in the shaping of a sustainable society through student led workshops and seminars. The content of the course responds to a world in constant flux by integrating up to date issues and challenges relevant for social work. While an underlying structure frames the course, these current issues and challenges determine the content of the lectures and focus in workshops and seminars. Collective learning processes are central elements to the course. The course is an unique example of how social work education can meet the challenges of integrating theory and practice, correspond to needs of communities and equip social workers with theoretical and practical skills to become active agents in the work towards a more sustainable and equal society.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Background and purpose: In this article we discuss the potential and challenges of working with flipped classrooms and how digital tools can enhance student participation and commitment in social work education. The Covid19-pandemic placed our societies under great stress. In the social work programme, in the course “Social work on a community level” at Gothenburg university, we developed the concept of “The morning café” in response to the transition to digital education. The morning café was inspired by morning television and aimed to form dialogue-based teaching situations, in addressing social issues on a societal level. We draw on different sources of data to critically discuss how technology can be a resource in education to foster social work values and enhance student commitment. Theory: The last decades we have seen a turn in education towards student-centered teaching methods (Biggs, 1999). In this article, we draw on the concept ‘signature pedagogy’ in social work (Wallengren-Lynch et al. 2019; Larrison & Korr, 2013) in our analysis of how digital technologies can be resources in the pedagogical process of ‘modelling relational connectedness’, and in creating learning situations that ‘foster transformative awareness’ and as practices to ‘nurture personal and professional growth’ (Ibid). Methods: Student’s reflections were collected through workshops using the method of photo voice. 75 students participated in a total of three photo voice workshops. Besides that, a web survey was sent to all students (N=127) after the course was completed in the autumn 2023 and in total 24 students responded. All participants have given permission to use the results as data for a scientific publication. Findings: During the course, a variation between 15 and 40 students were present in the IRL classroom where the morning café was held. In the zoom-room, student participation varied between 30 to 60 students. Most of the students were positive to the morning café, and they were deemed relevant to the aims of the course. Increased flexibility was mentioned as the major advantage of the hybrid form. Many students are working part time, have children or commute long distance. Thus, showing how hybrid forms can enable student’s participation. There is however a divide between the students that find the dialogue-based format of the café too abstract, longing for PowerPoints and more traditional teacher-based approaches. Conclusions: The result highlights the importance of developing educational models that respond to students' needs and society's development. Social work must reflect the world – and the world must reflect social work education. As teachers and educational institutions, it is instrumental that we do not get stuck “in old routes”. In this article, we argue that digital technology is not an end as such but can provide an infrastructure for increased student participation and commitment, and be a key resource in the development of a signature pedagogy in social work.

Conference paper (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This paper presents the result of a survey study where representing members of the disability movement in Sweden have shared their experiences of living and acting during the first year of the Covid-19-pandemic. The aim was to identify crisis communication challenges and where additional communication material and methods are needed for supporting people in going from knowledge to taking action for achieving a higher level of crisis preparedness. The paper also includes a brief summary of a literature review of previous international research on disabilities and the Covid-19 pandemic. Three categories of crisis communication challenges were identified displaying a vulnerability in society and pointing towards several important knowledge gaps that ought to be addressed in order to achieve crisis preparedness among all people. The results indicate that there is a need for additional communication materials and methods that can be appropriated to individual needs, and dialogue methods between authorities and people in order to counteract normative assumptions in crisis communication aimed at different target groups.

Upplevda risker och problem i trafikmiljön för användare av elrullstol.
- 2019
-
In: Föredrag vid konferensen Transportforum 2019, Linköping.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Background I stadsplanering, framkomlighet och olycksprevention riktas idag allt större fokus på gång- och cykeltrafik, trafikanter som traditionellt sett har fått stå tillbaka till förmån för biltrafiken. Elrullstolsanvändare tillhör gruppen oskyddade trafikanter och räknas i trafikmiljön som både gångtrafikanter och cyklister beroende på med vilken hastighet som elrullstolen framförs. I Sverige finns idag ett stort antal person som använder elrullstol, och med en ökande andel äldre innevånare kommer denna grupp med stor sannolikhet att öka i framtiden. Kunskapen om de utmaningar som elrullstolsanvändare erfar vid förflyttning i stads- och trafikmiljö är dock tämligen begränsad. Syftet med studien är att öka kunskapen om elrullstolsanvändares erfarenheter vid förflyttning i trafik- och stadsmiljö och därmed identifiera möjliga risker och hinder. Genom ökad kunskap kan dessa trafikanter lättare inbegripas i planering och förebyggande arbete och med ökad framkomlighet och trafiksäkerhet som resultat. Studien kommer att ligga till grund för fortsatt forskning inom området. Methods Studien baseras på analys av tidigare insamlade intervjuer med 13 elrullstolsanvändare i åldern 20-66 år och videoobservationer i utomhusmiljö av fem av de intervjuade personerna. Deltagarurval var optimerat vad gäller diagnos, ålder, kön, civilstånd, utbildningsnivå, geografisk boplats i Sverige, typ av elrullstol och tid som elrullstolsanvändare. Det video- och intervjumaterial som identifierades innehålla information om elrullstolsanvändarnas erfarenheter i stads- och trafikmiljö analyserades parallellt av fyra forskare. Sekvenser innehållande hinder, utmaningar och risker kategoriserades enligt Haddons matris , en riskhanteringsmodell som bland annat skattar en händelse ur ett individ, teknik och miljöperspektiv. Results Studien visar på att utformningen av dagens stads- och trafikmiljöer innehåller många inbyggda hinder och risker för elrullstolsanvändare. Nivåskillnader, kanter och ojämnt underlag inte bara hindrar framkomlighet utan riskerar även att elrullstolsanvändare skadas om fordonet kör fast eller välter.
