Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to develop a classic grounded theory about people who have psychiatric disabilities and live in ordinary housing with housing support. Interviews and observations during the interviews were analyzed, and secondary analyses of data from previous studies were performed. The impossible mission in everyday life emerged as the main concern and mastering everyday life as the pattern of behavior through which they deal with this concern. Mastering everyday life can be seen as a process, which involves identifying, organizing, tackling, challenging and boosting. Before the process is started, avoiding is used to deal with the main concern. The community support worker, providing housing support, constitutes an important facilitator during the process, and the continuity of housing support is a prerequisite for the process to succeed. If the process mastering everyday life is interrupted by, for example, changes in housing support, the strategy of avoiding is used.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to discover and elaborate a general substantive theory (GST) on the multidimensional behavioral process of coping with health issues. Intacting integrity while coping with health issues emerged as the core category of this GST. People facing health issues strive to safeguard and keep intact their integrity not only on an individual level but also as members of a group or a system. The intacting process is executed by attunement, continuously minimizing the discrepancy between personal values, personal health, self-expectations, and external conditions as health-and culturally-related recommendations and demands. Multifaceted coping strategies are available and used as implements in the attuning process.

A Grounded Theory on Obtaining Congruence in Decision Making
- 2018
-
Ingår i: The Grounded Theory Review. - Mill Valley : Sociology Press. - 1556-1542 .- 1556-1550. ; 17:1, s. 70-85
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper is a grounded theory on obtaining congruence in decision making. It is a study on how people receive contradictory information, and how they go through the process of deciding which option(s) to select. Sometimes leaders (e.g. officers, managers, etc.) try to engage people in challenging undertakings and present them with goals to follow. Which goals are followed and which are not depends on how they process that information, and what influences their decisions. By better understanding their decision making process, leaders could better learn how to influence people's decisions. Leaders are also sometimes unaware that people often struggle with contradictory choices. The process of obtaining congruence in decision making consists of four stages: struggling, congruencing, deciding, and justifying. The process shows how people resolve cognitive struggles related to contradictive issues. The process is also a complementing theory to other theories on decision making related to psychology, management, and innovation.

Collective Inclusioning : A Grounded Theory of a Bottom-Up Approach to Innovation and Leading
- 2016

Ingår i: The Grounded Theory Review. - Mill Valley : Sociology Press. - 1556-1542 .- 1556-1550. ; 15:1, s. 26-44

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper is a grounded theory study of how leaders (e.g., entrepreneurs, managers, etc.) engage people in challenging undertakings (e.g., innovation) that require everyone’s commitment to such a degree that they would have to go beyond what could be reasonably expected in order to succeed. Company leaders sometimes wonder why their employees no longer show the same responsibility towards their work, and why they are more concerned with internal politics than solving customer problems. It is because company leaders no longer apply collective inclusioning to the same extent as they did in the past. Collective inclusioning can be applied in four ways by convincing, afinitizing, goal congruencing, and engaging. It can lead to fostering strong units of people for taking on challenging undertakings. Collective inclusioning is a complementing theory to other strategic management and leading theories. It offers a new perspective on how to implement a bottom-up approach to innovation.

Momentary Contentment : A Modern Version of an Old Survival Culture
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This is a classic grounded theory based in longitudinal data from everyday life in an environment in Northern Norway characterized by long distances, a harsh climate and people living close to nature and each other. The place has a history of poverty and isolation. Yet, old survival strategies prevail despite modernisation. The theory reveals a culture of momentary contentment with three dimensions: Doing safety, destiny readiness and middle consciousness. This momentary contentment culture explains how the participants resolve their main concern of enjoying life. Doing safety means that common and individual acts create stability. Destiny readiness illuminates a discourse of acceptance, a way of thinking that, with the aid of linguistic strategies, prepares for life changing events. Middle consciousness shows a way of handling difficulties by dividing and separating different phenomena.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Today, more and more people die in own homes and nursinghomes, which fundamentally affects community nursing. The aimof this study was to develop a grounded theory of palliative homenursing care and we analyzed interviews and data related to thebehavior of community nurses caring for palliative cancerpatients. Doing Good Care emerged as the pattern of behaviorthrough which nurses deal with their main concern, their desireto do good care. The theory Doing Good Care involves threecaring behaviors; anticipatory caring, momentary caring andstagnated caring. In anticipatory caring, which is the optimalcaring behavior, nurses are doing their best or even better thannecessary, in momentary caring nurses are doing bestmomentarily and in stagnated caring nurses are doing good butfrom the perspective of what is expected of them. When nursesfail in doing good, they experience a feeling of letting the patientdown, which can lead to frustration and feelings of powerlessness.Depending on the circumstances, nurses can hover between thethree different caring behaviors. We suggest that healthcareproviders increase the status of palliative care and facilitate fornurses to give anticipatory care by providing adequate resourcesand recognition.

Complexities in Palliative Cancer Care : Can Grounded Theories be Useful to Increase Awareness?
- 2017
-
Ingår i: The Grounded Theory Review. - : Sociology Press. - 1556-1542 .- 1556-1550. ; 16:1, s. 75-78
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This paper includes first a summary of a grounded theory "Living on hold", which was one of four different grounded theories in my dissertation (Sandgren, 2010). The theory is then explained in relation to the other grounded theories to give an example of how different grounded theories can be integrated, which leads to an increased awareness of what is going on in a research area.

Deciphering unwritten rules
- 2012
-
Ingår i: The Grounded Theory Review. - 1556-1542 .- 1556-1550. ; 11:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to develop a classic grounded theory of patients, relatives and nurses in palliative cancer care. Data from three earlier studies conducted in palliative care were analyzed. “Deciphering unwritten rules” emerged as the pattern of behavior through which patients, relatives and nurses are dealing with the uncertainty of how to act and behave in palliative cancer care. Deciphering means finding out what the rules mean and trying to interpret them and this can be done consciously or unnoticed. Deciphering unwritten rules involves the strategies figuring out, deliberating, maneuvering and evaluating. This theory demonstrates the complexities of palliative care and the importance of knowledge, counseling and resources for all involved.

Living on hold in palliative cancer care
- 2010

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to develop a classic grounded theory of palliative cancer patients and their relatives in the context of home care. We analyzed interviews and data related to the behaviour of both patients and relatives. “Living on hold” emerged as the pattern of behaviour through which the patients and relatives deal with their main concern, being put on hold. Living on Hold involves three modes: Fighting, Adjusting and Surrendering. Mode being may change during a trajectory depending on many different factors. There are also different triggers that can start a reconciling process leading to a change of mode. This means that patients and relatives can either be in the same mode or in different modes simultaneously. More or less synchronous modes may lead to problems and conflicts within the family, or with the health professionals.
