Recontextualising ageing as a choice : A critical approach to representations of successful ageing
- 2022
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This thesis examines the intersection between representations of ageing femininities, empowerment, and oppression in marketing and advertising practices, within the context of successful ageing. In the current era of population ageing, debates on gender and ageing are becoming more pronounced. Due to population ageing, there is a visible increase in representations of (successful) ageing in the media. As a result, we are experiencing an expansion in the “grey market” of anti-ageing products and services, e.g., cosmetics, mainly aimed at wealthy older women who constitute an important market segment for such. Given that the media helps form people’s ideas about ageing, there is a need to critically examine this growing market and how older women are represented and/or addressed in it. Such representations are crucial for understanding contemporary feminist discussions on the contestation between women’s empowerment and oppression. To provide a deeper understanding of this phenomenon, I use an intersectional feminist perspective combined with the methodology of Multimodal Critical Discourse Analysis (MCDA). This perspective highlights and deconstructs the complex ways in which power and ideology work to maintain and reinforce existing intersectional structural inequalities based on age, gender, class, and race that marginalise women. This thesis consists of three empirical studies. The findings suggest a shift from the postfeminist gaze towards a neoliberal self-objectifying gaze that closely operates alongside discourses of successful ageing. This self-objectifying gaze encourages women to actively work on and transform the ageing self through intensifying self-surveillance, self-scrutiny, and self-improvement practices. These self-transformation practices are presented as the free choices of empowered, entrepreneurial, and responsibilised subjects. Nonetheless, such choices confine women to never-ending forms of self-governance that promote the internalisation of patriarchal and capitalist ideal standards of beauty, thus reinscribing privilege and oppression.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVES: This scoping review aimed to explore and synthesize current literature to advance the understanding of how to design clinical reasoning (CR) curricula for students in health professions education.METHODS: Arksey and O'Malley's 6-stage framework was applied. Peer-reviewed articles were searched in PubMed, Web of Science, CINAHL, and manual searches, resulting in the identification of 2932 studies.RESULTS: Twenty-six articles were included on CR in medical, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, midwifery, dentistry, and speech language therapy education. The results describe: features of CR curriculum design; CR theories, models, and frameworks that inform curricula; and teaching content, methods, and assessments that inform CR curricula.CONCLUSIONS: Several CR theories, teaching, and assessment methods are integrated into CR curricula, reflecting the multidimensionality of CR among professions. Specific CR elements are addressed in several curricula; however, no all-encompassing CR curriculum design has been identified. These findings offer useful insights for educators into how CR can be taught and assessed, but they also suggest the need for further guidance on educational strategies and assessments while learners progress through an educational program.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Clinical reasoning is a complex and crucial ability health professions students need to acquire during their education. Despite its importance, explicit clinical reasoning teaching is not yet implemented in most health professions educational programs. Therefore, we carried out an international and interprofessional project to plan and develop a clinical reasoning curriculum with a train-the-trainer course to support educators in teaching this curriculum to students. We developed a framework and curricular blueprint. Then we created 25 student and 7 train-the-trainer learning units and we piloted 11 of these learning units at our institutions. Learners and faculty reported high satisfaction and they also provided helpful suggestions for improvements. One of the main challenges we faced was the heterogeneous understanding of clinical reasoning within and across professions. However, we learned from each other while discussing these different views and perspectives on clinical reasoning and were able to come to a shared understanding as the basis for developing the curriculum. Our curriculum fills an important gap in the availability of explicit clinical reasoning educational materials both for students and faculty and is unique with having specialists from different countries, schools, and professions. Faculty time and time for teaching clinical reasoning in existing curricula remain important barriers for implementation of clinical reasoning teaching.

Ett hållbart arbetsliv : arbetsgivarens rättsliga ansvar för arbetsmiljö och rehabilitering
- 2021
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- This doctoral thesis investigates and analyses the Swedish employers’ legal responsibility for the work environment and rehabilitation efforts. The focus of analysis is on the legal requirements to be met by the employer and the legal mechanisms available to enforce the requirements. The measures the employer must take regarding the work environment and rehabilitation are regulated by different types of rules that impose some clear and some less clear requirements. Some rules are statutory, and some instead have been imposed by governmental regulations. In order to define the responsibilities of the employer, this study categorizes all of these requirements according to their design: they may constitute specification standards, performance standards, process-based standards, or general duties. To define the employers’ legal responsibility, the conditions that must be fulfilled for the legal enforcement of the requirements also need to be clarified. Enforcement is accomplished through, among other mechanisms, injunctions, fines, criminal sanctions and employment protection rules.The study describes and demonstrates the links between, on the one hand, the design of the requirements and, on the other hand, the legal possibilities for enforcement. It also shows that an employer’s overall legal responsibility for the working environment and rehabilitation is complex. There are differences in the design and functioning of the employer’s proactive responsibility – the responsibility to prevent ill health and to promote health – and the reactive responsibility – responsibility for rehabilitation. There are also major differences in the regulation of different aspects of work environments, with rules varying based on types of work done and risks faced, and based on how the organizational rehabilitation responsibility is designed compared to the responsibility for the individual worker’s rehabilitation. The study also clarifies how the legal regulation of the employer’s responsibility for the work environment and for rehabilitation can contribute to the overall policy objective of ensuring for every worker a sustainable working life.
