- 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.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)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.

- 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.

Acute injuries resulting from accidents involving powered mobility devices (PMDs)-Development and outcomes of PMD-related accidents in Sweden
- 2019

Ingår i: Traffic Injury Prevention. - : Informa UK Limited. - 1538-9588 .- 1538-957X. ; 20:5, s. 484-491

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: Powered mobility devices (PMDs) are commonly used as aids for older people and people with disabilities, subgroups of vulnarable road users (VRUs) who are rarely noted in traffic safety contexts. However, the problem of accidents involving PMD drivers has been reported in many countries where these vehicles have become increasingly popular.The aim of this study is to extract and analyze national PMD-related accident and injury data reported to the Swedish Traffic Accident Data Acquisition (STRADA) database. The results will provide valuable insight into the risks and obstacles that PMD drivers are exposed to in the traffic environment and may contribute to improving the mobility of this group in the long term.Methods: The current study is based on data from 743 accidents and 998 persons. An analysis was performed on a subset of data (N=301) in order to investigate the development of accidents over a period of 10 years. Thereafter, each accident in the whole data set was registered as either single (N=427) or collision (N=315).Results: The results show that there was a 3-fold increase in the number of PMD-related accidents reported to STRADA during the period 2007-2016.With regard to single accidents, collisions, as well as fatalities, the injury statistics were dominated by males. Single accidents were more common than collisions (N=427 and N=316, respectively) and the level of injury sustained in each type of accident is on par. The vast majority of single accidents resulted in the PMD driver impacting the ground (87%), due to either PMD turnover (71%) or the driver falling out of the PMD (16%). The reason for many of the single accidents was a difference in ground level (34%, typically a curb).Cars, trucks, or buses were involved in 67% of collision events; these occured predominantly at junctions or intersections (70%).Abbreviated Injury Scale (AIS) 3+ injuries were dominated by hip and head injuries in both single accidents and collision events.Conclusions: The present study shows that further research on PMD accidents is required, with regard to both single accidents and collision events. To ensure that appropriate decisions are made, future work should follow up on injury trends and further improve the quality of PDM-related accident data. Improved vehicle stability and design, increased usage of safety equipment, proper training programs, effective maintenance services, and development of a supporting infrastructure would contribute to increased safety for PMD drivers.
