- ObjectiveTo describe midwives' experience of encountering women with posttraumatic stress symptoms after childbirth.Study designSemi-structured interviews with eight midwives with experiences of encountering women with posttraumatic stress symptoms after childbirth. Data were analyzed using thematic content analysis.ResultThe midwives encountered women with severe experiences after a childbirth, which had affected their lives. The midwives thought that they had to reflect on their own attitude and use their gentleness as they responded to the women's stories. By listening to and enabling the women to express their feelings and tell their stories, the midwives thought that they could confirm the women's experience. The midwives thought that they could support women who had lost confidence to give birth but also thought that cesarean section did not solve the women's problems.ConclusionTraining of midwives is necessary to increase awareness of the cause of women's posttraumatic stress symptoms. It is urgent to optimize the implementation of new research into practical reality to raise the quality of care of women with fear of childbirth. Childbirth is an important experience that can influence a woman's well-being and her connection to the child. Posttraumatic stress symptoms should be identified in an early stage/pregnancy to allow early treatment on the right level of care.

- A group of fathers met regularly during their child's first year through an e-meeting portal. (This was part of a larger study which was designed to describe mothers' and fathers' experiences of an intervention to provide parental support.) The technology allowed meetings by web-based videoconferencing, both one-to-one and in groups. The leader of the electronic encounters was a man with comprehensive experience in leading parental support groups with fathers. The fathers were interviewed using a narrative approach twice, once midway through the study and once at the end. Qualitative content analysis was applied to the interview data and three categories were identified: being unfamiliar and insecure talking about fatherhood, sharing experiences and being confirmed, and being supported and limited by the electronic encounters. Most fruitful and rewarding in the meetings was the fathers sharing other fathers' experiences. It was important to talk about things they did not talk to others about. Some fathers expressed a wish for more structure in the meetings. The fathers in this study expressed a wish to meet other fathers in a support group during the whole childhood period.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Five mothers with normal pregnancies and healthy children met regularly during the infants' first year through an e-meeting portal. The technology made it possible to meet using realtime videoconferencing through the Web, both one to one and in groups. An experienced child-health nurse was the leader of the group. The intervention data included interviews and diary notes. Personal tape-recorded narrative interviews were conducted with the mothers, one midway through the study and one at the end. Qualitative content analysis was applied to the data and two major categories were identified: feeling support through confirmation and solidarity, and the technology presents possibilities and limitations. The mothers felt that sharing experiences with others was supportive and that having new friends reduced their feeling of loneliness. The mothers discussed the technology as fun and exciting. However, they were disturbed by sound problems and the realities of caring for an infant. The opportunity to meet other mothers in the same situation via electronic encounters and to share experiences of being a mother facilitated everyday life for these mothers.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background. Raising a child is probably the most challenging responsibility faced by a new parent. The first year is the basis of the child's development and is significant for growth and development. Knowledge and understanding of parents' experiences are especially important for child health nurses, whose role is to support parents in their parenthood.Aim. The aim of this review was to describe mothers' and fathers' experiences of parenthood during the child's first year.Method. A literature search covering 1992-2002 was carried out using the terms parenthood, parenting, first year, infancy and experience. Of the 88 articles retrieved, 33 articles (both qualitative and quantitative) met the inclusion criteria and corresponded to the aim of this review. The data were analysed by thematic content analysis.Findings. Being a parent during the child's first year was experienced as overwhelming. The findings were described from two perspectives, namely mothers' and fathers' perspectives, since all the included studies considered mothers' and fathers' experiences separately. The following categories were identified concerning mothers: being satisfied and confident as a mother, being primarily responsible for the child is overwhelming and causes strain, struggling with the limited time available for oneself, and being fatigued and drained. The following categories were found for fathers: being confident as a father and as a partner, living up to the new demands causes strain, being prevented from achieving closeness to the child is hurtful, and being the protector and the provider of the family. The unifying theme for these categories was 'living in a new and overwhelming world'.Conclusion. There is a need for nurse interventions aimed at minimizing parents' experiences of strain. A suggested intervention is to find a method whereby child health nurses' support would lead to parents becoming empowered in their parenthood.

Annan publikation (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Projektets övergripande syfteSyftet är att beskriva föräldrars erfarenheter av föräldraskap, mödrars upplevelser av att vara separerade från sina nyfödda barn och hur föräldrar upplever en intervention med föräldrastöd via elektroniska möten under barnet första levnadsår. Kort beskrivning av projektet I projektet studeras hur föräldrar (både förstagångs- och flergångsföräldrar) upplevde föräldraskapet under barnets första år. Analys av publicerade vetenskapliga artiklar mellan åren 1992-2002 har genomförts. Dessutom har åtta nyblivna mödrar, till fullgångna barn som vårdats på en neonatalavdelning intervjuats om sina upplevelser av att vara separerade från sina nyfödda barn. Intervjutexten har analyserats med en fenomenologisk hermeneutisk metod. En intervention med föräldrastöd via elektroniska möten under barnets första levnadsår har genomförts som ett komplement till ordinarie barnhälsovård. De mammor och pappor som deltog i interventionen har intervjuats var för sig vid två tillfällen.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Inom ramen för denna artikel diskuterar vi såväl den psykosociala som den fysiska miljön i skolan. Vidare argumenterar vi för att skolans miljö är av betydelse för elevernas möjligheter att lära sig, likväl som för deras upplevelser av lärandesituationerna. Särskilt intressant blir då att lyssna till eleverna. Syftet med denna artikel är därför att synliggöra och diskutera elevers röster i förhållande till hur skolan kan bli den bästa platsen för lärande. Detta görs med utgångspunkt i forskningsprojektet ”Skolan suger” eller?, där drygt 200 elever i åldrarna 11–15 år deltog. Eleverna fick skriftligen reflektera över hur skolan ska bli en riktigt bra lärandemiljö. För att utveckla skolan till den bästa platsen för lärande uttryckte eleverna en önskan att kunna påverka sin lärandemiljö, att uppnå ömsesidighet och samspel, att kunna hantera tidsregleringen i skolan, samt att uppfylla behov för välbefinnande.
