- In the present article, we reflect on some didactic challenges and possibilities that emerge when teaching in interdisciplinary settings. We argue that teaching in interdisciplinary studies rests on movements between different understandings, and that it gives ample opportunities for beneficial learning processes. This does not only apply to interdisciplinary studies. The metaphor of taking a journey can be used to illustrate thelearning process and the dimension of personal change associated with moving between different understandings and discourses of knowledge. Some of the questions we raise in this article are: In what ways can differing disciplinary backgrounds be of help or create a hindrance? What are the specificdidactic challenges one faces? What happens to one’s understanding of one’s own subject afterhaving been confronted with something new and different?

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Radiographers' ability and competence is a matter of vital importance for patients. Nursing care is an integral part of the radiographer's work. The demand for high competence in clinical activities has increased in diagnostic radiology and has had an impact on the development of the profession.AIM: The aim was to describe the radiographer's areas of professional competence in relation to good nursing care based on critical incidents that occur in the course of radiological examinations and interventions.METHOD: A descriptive design with a qualitative approach, using the Critical Incident Technique was employed. Interviews were conducted with a strategic sample of registered radiographers (n = 14), based at different hospitals in Sweden.ETHICAL ISSUES: The appropriate ethical principles were followed. All the participants provided informed consent, and formal approval for conducting the research was obtained according to national and local directives.RESULTS: The data analysis resulted in two main areas; direct and indirect patient-related areas of competence, which describe the radiographers' skills that either facilitate or hinder good nursing care. In the direct patient-related area of competence, four categories emerged, which illustrate good nursing care in the patient's immediate surroundings. In the indirect patient-related area of competence, four categories illuminated good nursing care that is provided without direct contact with the patient.CONCLUSIONS: The study highlights the different areas of the radiographer's unique professional competence. The findings provide insight into the radiographer's profession, on one hand as a carer and on the other as a medical technologist as well as highlighting the importance of each role. The radiographer's work encompasses a variety of components--from caring for the patient to handling and checking the technical equipment.

Ett högt och ädelt kall : kalltankens betydelse för sjuksköterskeyrkets formering 1850-1933
- 2002

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis describes the impact of the notion of a calling on the development of the nursing profession during the period 1850–1933. The focus of the study is on how perceptions andnotions of a calling were altered over time, and in which way this historically shaped conceptinfluenced the professionalisation of the female health care work. Some contexts of relevancefor the notion of a calling and which are emphasised in the thesis are the women’s rights movement, the expansion of the civil servants’ movement, the professionalisation and modernisationof the health care system as well as the general secularisation of society. The study consists of three parts. The first part constitutes a conceptual background tothe notion of a calling and here the Christian heritage of ideas is examined. The second partof the thesis describes three leading institutions of nursing education: the Ersta Institution ofdeaconesses (1851), the Red Cross education (1867), and the Sophia Home (1884). The study shows how Lutheran features influenced these educational institutions, mainly the educationof the deaconesses. The meaning of the calling differed between the deaconesses and thenurses of the Sophia Home. The deaconnesses’ notion of a calling emphasised the value ofhumbly serving fellow beings, whereas the Sophia Home attached more importance to theelevated and noble aspect of the calling. The third part of the thesis is the most comprehensive one. It is here analysed how the circlearound the Swedish Nursing Association (SNA), used and related to the notion of a calling during the period 1910–1933. The description is structured under four themes. The first describes how the notion of a calling expresses a particular professional ideal and an ethical attitude characterised by a Lutheran work ethics with strong altruistic features. Under the second theme, the gendered perception of the vocation is discussed. It is claimed that the nursingprofession was not unambiguously permeated by feminine gendered perceptions. Instead the nurses’ professional ideal espoused a mixture of masculine and feminine gendered metaphors.Under the third theme, it becomes clear that the nurses’ proclamation of a calling strengthened and increased the status of the profession. Under the fourth theme, the nurses’notion of a calling is related to two male professional groups, doctors and clergymen, and thepessimistic and sombre spirit of time at the turn of the century, 1900. The general secularisation of society, and the gradual modernisation of the health care sector seemed to have contributedto a need for a professional corps, marked by strong tradition, apparently considereda guarantee for a health care system that would still comprise Christian love.

Konsten att åldras med värdighet : Om samtida och historiska åldrandeideal
- 2010

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Artikeln handlar om hur ålder, klass och kön genom historien, och i nuet, utgör ett kluster av faktorer som präglar ramar och kulturella normer kring hur livet bör hanteras och levas när man åldras. Inte sällan har normerna utgått från stereotypa och ibland nedvärderande föreställningar om äldre människor. Länge präglades kunskapsområdet om åldrandet av teorier om successiv energiförlust genom livet och utifrån det, uppfattningar om det goda i att i viss mån dra sig tillbaka. Tillbakadragenheten kunde ex vis handla om att minska ner på fysiska och intellektuella aktiviteter och vara måttfull med hårt kryddad mat och starka drycker. Den moderna tidens norm kretsar mer kring påbud om aktivitet – t.ex. arbete efter pensionen – och föreställningar om åldrandet som mer eller mindre framgångsrikt. Såväl antikens som nutidens människa har kunnat gå till den samtida självhjälpslitteraturen för att få råd om hur åldrandet bör hanteras. Hur ska man då bete sig när man åldras? Övergripande har ålderdomens ”värde” i hög grad handlat om vilken status man haft i det specifika samhällssammanhang man – framförallt utifrån kön och klass – befunnit sig i. I både den historiska och nutida självhjälpslitteraturen ges mycket riktigt råd som associerar till korrekthet: återhållsamhet och självkontroll. Gamla människor bör ex vis inte framstå som giriga eller sexuellt frivola, och det gäller såväl antikens som nutidens äldre. Skillnaden mellan antikens och den moderna tidens diskussion om åldrandet är att man i den antika kontexten (kring år 0) la stor tonvikt vid etiska aspekter och tankar om social rättvisa i samhället, som inbegrep tankar om lycka och ett gott liv. Den moderna människan är mer fokuserad på ”identitetsaktiviteter”, på tankar om vem man själv är och vill vara, men också på en förståelse av livsloppet i termer av kriser.
