- This study explores the preferences of cancer patients, family caregivers, and the general public regarding breaking bad news in an Ethiopian oncology setting. The research was conducted at Tikur Anbessa (Black Lion) Specialized Hospital. The sample consists of patients with a confirmed cancer diagnosis, their family caregivers, and representatives from the general public with 150 subjects per cohort. A comparative cross-sectional study design and a multivariable analysis were used. The patients would like to be informed, which contradicts the perceptions of family caregivers. This creates an ethical dilemma for staff in terms of how much they involve their patients in clinical decision-making. The patients also indicate that information not to be withheld from them. In contrast, the general public prefers information about poor life expectancy to be communicated to family only, which may reflect widespread public perception of cancer as a deadly disease. The findings indicate the complexity of communication concerning breaking bad news in oncology care in Ethiopia. It requires oncologists to probe patient attitudes before information disclosure in order to find a balance between involving patients in communication at the same time as keeping a constructive alliance with family caregivers.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Today, intercultural first acquaintance meetings are becoming more and more frequent. The aim of this study is to describe, analyze and compare Swedish, Chinese and Swedish-Chinese first acquaintance interactions. Our focus lies on a classification of the topics in mono- and intercultural first-time encounters. The analysis is based on 12 arranged face-to-face first acquaintance interactions between Chinese-Chinese, Swedish-Swedish and Swedish-Chinese students (4 of each dyad). The interactions are video-recorded and transcribed. In addition, semi-structured interviews with the participants have been conducted to get a better understanding of their communication. The method of activity-based communication analysis is used to analyze the data. The result of the study is a classification and a cross-cultural comparison of topics and the order of their occurrence in first time encounters. In addition, the study sheds light on the similarities and differences between Chinese and Swedish communication patterns.

Accelerating Ukrainian Academic Teachers’ Professional Digital Competence in Times of War
- 2022

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In February 2022, hostilities broke out in Ukraine, when the world just started recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic and returning to physical presence at workplaces and schools. The war has had a tremendous impact on Ukrainian Higher Education, resulting in the displacement of students and staff, evacuations and relocations of institutions, infrastructural losses and damages. The Ukrainian universities had to resume the online mode to ensure the safety of their students and staff. At this moment, research on the impact of war on the Ukrainian higher education is scarce. While the pandemic has contributed to the rapid development of digital competence of Ukrainian academic staff (Ovcharuk and Ivaniuk 2021), the development of the Ukrainian teachers’ professional digital competence in times of war has not yet been investigated. To this end, this study poses the following research question: How is the digital competence of academic teachers developed during the war? The study is guided by Mishra and Koehler's TPACK framework for technology integration in the classrooms (Mishra and Koehler 2006), addressing the development of three aspects of teacher knowledge such as technological knowledge (TK), pedagogical knowledge (PK), content knowledge (CK) and the integration of these in specific contexts. The preliminary analysis of 31semi-structured interviews with university management, teachers, and students from 11 Ukrainian universities reveals the acceleration of teachers’ professional digital competence from the beginning of the hostilities. In particular, we find the teachers developing their pedagogical knowledge (PK) in terms of becoming more flexible in classroom management, and adapting assessment forms to meet the needs of the students who experience hurdles due to lack of internet access, relocations, and bombings. The respondents also comment on teachers showing increased creativity in developing their courses and examinations. Further, formal teaching tools such as MOOCS platforms, Zoom and MS Teams are commonly combined with informal tools, such as mobile apps Telegram, Viber, and WhatsApp, which are used for sharing course materials, informing about potential risks of attacks, and abrupt course changes. The teachers who moved to the European countries mentioned further developing their Technological Knowledge (TK) in terms of learning new technologies in collaboration with European universities. The study offers insight into digital competence development in times of crisis, aiming to contribute to the fields of digital transformation, online education, and crisis management.
