Platsens betydelse för dementa : En studie av demensvården i tre skånska kommuner
- 2009
-
Bok (refereegranskat)abstract
- Rapporten berör ett aktionsinriktat forskningsprojekt som tar upp platsers betydelse i relation till socialt välbefinnande i demensvården. Den visar på betydelsen av att dementa personer integreras i det sociala rummet och att de får möjlighet att vara en del av det lokalsamhälle de tillhör. Rapporten tar utgångspunkt i hur undersköterskorna på tre demensboenden arbetar i en omsorgsprocess som integrerar det sociala såväl som det fysiska rummet. Hur väl denna integration fungerar har stor betydelse för socialt välbefinnande hos dementa personer. I rapportens slutdiskussion ges även konkreta råd till de deltagande kommunerna.

De svåra samtalen : Vård i livets slutskede
- 2008
-
Rapport (refereegranskat)abstract
- De svåra samtalen - vård i livets slut är en forskningsrapport som främst berör de sociala, existentiella och rumsliga aspekterna på omsorgsarbete. Hur handskas man med familj och anhöriga i en situation som präglas av närhet till döden? På vilket sätt påverkas sjuksköterskor utav att vårda människor i deras hem? Vad innebär det att vara professionell i så skiftande sammanhang? Genom att reflektera över och diskutera olika problemställningar i en strukturerad forskningsmodell, har sjuksköterskornas egna erfarenheter bearbetats, för att bättre förstå vårdtagarens olika reaktioner. Rapporten visar hur situationer vid omsorg i livets slut hanteras samt för en diskussion om vad det är som påverkar besluten.

Mapping family and social space in caring : a metamethod study

Ingår i: Parallel presentations. - Abingdon : Taylor & Francis. ; , s. 29-29

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Social relations are about how we treat each other. They imply explicit and tacit knowledge, rules of behaviour, and values inherent in specific social spaces. When a family is struck by a life-threatening illness, the individual’s ‘‘life space’’ tends to shrink. This impacts the mutual relationships in the family, as well as the situation in the home. Therefore, there are obvious dialectics between spatial and social dimensions, when close relatives are afflicted by serious illness. This paper explores how research on homecare involves space in analysing social issues.Meta-method analysis was chosen, in order to extend the review format and analyse meta-questions. Meta-synthesis in different research areas and fora involved the examina- tion of a set of qualitative studies. Material was collected using the Cinahl, PubMed and Academic Search data- bases. These were supplemented by the Social Science Index, Sociological Abstract and Science Direct, to explore if aspects of care and space are treated in social science. The sample consisted of 38 articles, displaying a wide variety of methods. Findings suggest that in the fields of caring and sociological research, spatial factors are only implicitly described, and the dynamics of the social and spatial dialectics in home caring relationships seem to be rare. The concept of space in caring is found in a few studies in human geography. The observed absence of a spatial perspective in caring is problematic, since it neglects the fact that relationship and caring are situated in context.

The Power of Place : in the context of pregnancy
- 2007
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The study explores the importance of place attachment for women’s sense of security during pregnancy. Coping strategies of pregnant women are analysed, focusing on how the prospectof giving birth affects their relationship to place. Anthony Giddens’ concept of ontologicalsecurity is critically examined and used to investigate the connection between place andontological security – what I call place security –through a set of empirical data drawn fromin-depth interviews with pregnant women. Two studies were carried out, one in Swedenand the other in northern Norway. A qualitative analysis was made of the interview material,using the three basic elements of ontological security, self-identity, continuity andritualisation, as a grid of analysis. Earlier psychological research indicates that the prospectof giving birth and raising a family brings the issue of ontological security to the surface.The data confirms such findings, demonstrating the particular importance of place. Duringpregnancy, the women came to consider issues of identity related to their own childhoodexperience. A sense of security connected to place was essential for their well-being in thisvulnerable period of transition, and places procuring this security were consciously sought toalleviate anxiety. Both women who had previously lived very mobile lives and those whohad been more sedentary exhibit the need for place security. A typical coping strategy was toreturn to childhood places. In other cases, the women tried to achieve place security for theirchildren by recreating an environment similar to the place their own sense of identity wasrooted in. Social institutions, such as schools, day-care facilities and jobs, largely determinein which places a sense of security can be achieved from a practical point of view. Deeperontological security, however, relates to the individual’s life history, and to places thatrepresent continuity, daily routines and the constitution of identity for that individual. Thestudy investigates the significance of childhood experiences of place with respect to thewomen’s experience of security during pregnancy.

The power of place : Existential crises and place security in the context of pregnancy

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The study explores the importance of place attachment on individuals sense of security during existential crises. Coping strategies of pregnant women are analysed, focusing on how the prospect of giving birth affects their relationship to place. Anthony Giddens? concept of ontological security is critically examined and used to investigate the connection between place and ontological security what I call place security- through a set of empirical data drawn from in-depth interviews with pregnant women. Two studies were carried out, one in Sweden and the other in northern Norway. A qualitative analysis was made of the interview material, using the three basic elements of ontological security self-identity, continuity and ritualisation as a grid of analysis. Prior psychological research indicates that the prospect of giving birth and raising a family brings the issue of ontological security to the surface. The data confirms such findings, demonstrating the particular importance of place. During pregnancy, the women came to consider issues of identity related to their own childhood experience. A sense of security connected to place was essential for their well-being in this vulnerable period of transition, and was consciously sought to alleviate anxiety. Both women who had previously lived very mobile lives and those who had been more sedentary exhibit need for place security. One of the typical coping strategies displayed was to return to childhood places. In other cases, the women tried to achieve place security for their children by recreating an environment similar to the place their own sense of identity was rooted in. Social institutions, such as schools, day-care facilities and jobs, largely determine where a sense of security can be achieved from a practical point of view. Deeper ontological security, however, relates to the individual's life history, and to places that represent continuity, daily routines and the constitution of identity for that individual. The material environment during childhood forms the primary basis for feelings of ontological security in adult life. The women also often relate to specific landscapes through sensory memory. The study does not support the social/nature dichotomisation of reality, but instead emphasizes the significance of childhood experiences of the material environment with respect to the women's experience of security during pregnancy.
