Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article is a review of different trends and epistemologies in women’s studies/feminist research within the field of medicine. In the beginning of the 1980s, women’s studies entered the field of medicine in the Nordic countries. They are now a part of the feminist research that has been established within most sciences both nationally and internationally. The gender power relation and its impact on health - first of all women’s, but in extension also men’s - has been in focus. Moreover, science itself, its limits and possibilities, and the kind of knowledge it produces, is discussed. In this respect, feminist theory of science is a useful tool.

Kvinnors ansvarstagande kan leda till ohälsa

- Women often feel compelled to assume responsibility for the needs and wishes of others. This is of consequence to their own health. The concept »compulsive sensitivity» is used in this article to describe a work injury that can result when this demand is excessive and the trained sensitivity to the needs of others has come to dictate woman’s way of being and acting. This kind of ill health is seen as a result of the gender division of labor that persists in our society. The article is based on qualitative research on women’s work, health and ill health.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- BACKGROUND: In Sweden and other Western societies, preventive medicine based on risk-factor investigation of individuals and population screening, is given increasing priority by doctors and politicians. But has a medically induced "risk epidemic" now replaced earlier infectious and cardiovascular epidemics? More and more people are labelled "at-risk", even in countries with the highest life expectancy in the world. The Hippocratic Oath for physicians includes the promise "to abstain from doing harm", but any medical intervention can be harmful. Investigation of healthy people, as part of preventive medicine, is no exception. SUMMARY OF WORK: I discuss these issues in a lecture on Family Medicine to Term 8 medical students at Umeå University, aiming to promote critical thinking around a problem I regard as crucial for the future. I also emphasize people/patient-empowering approaches in research and practice, introducing concepts such as “salutogenesis” and “personal health resources”. SUMMARY OF RESULTS: Like most medical students approaching graduation, my students appreciate “hard facts” and “how-to-do-knowledge”. This lecture has caused some hostility among students as well as the teaching-staff, for rocking the students’ earlier learning in a critical period of their training, but I have also been awarded a pedagogical prize from the students – for elucidating the complexity in health care-work. CONCLUSIONS: The negative effects of preventive measures, risk-focusing and medicalisation of everyday problems are difficult to discuss professionally, but such a discussion is also longed for by medical students. TAKE-HOME MESSAGES: Critical thinking about the “risk epidemic” in medicine, and a discussion about empowering and sustainable medicine, should be introduced into medical training
