- The aim of this study was to explore whether the classroomi mplementation of the International Child Development Programme (ICDP) for secondary school students (grade 9) was linked to better school achievement. The goal of the ICDP is to increase school achievement by promoting positive teacher-student relationships. The study, performed in Sweden, applied a pre–post design (four years) with matched intervention and control schools (N = 148). The post-intervention assessments showed that there were significant differences in school achievement in Grade 9 between the intervention school andthe control school. Specifically, a greater proportion of students at the intervention school demonstrated improvement in school subjects and achieved the competency requirements to enter an upper secondary school programme. Based on the results, the ICDP can be considered an important intervention to promote student learning by promoting positive teacher-student relationships.

- During the spring 2019, the prerequisites for conducting education were changed due to the pandemic. For higher education in Sweden almost all education switches on to digital education. Nursing education has focus on both theoretical and practical courses, which is a challenge for digital or distance education. Furthermore, the nursing programme at the studied university used problem-based learning (PBL), with base-groups at campus. Instead of physical meetings at campus, the base-groups took part with digital tools. The impact of base-groupsmeeting with digital tools are important to reflect on, especially since the education and learning of future probably will be more hybrid. © 2022 Christel Borg, Johanna Tell, Terese Lindberg, Lina Nilsson, Anki Olsson, Malin Forsbrand & Lisa Skär.

- AIM: The aim of the study was to develop insights into how nurses, senior preceptors and head nurses experience the integration of caring science in practice and how they value the contributions of nursing students to the integration of caring science in practice. BACKGROUND: Research still reveals differences between theory and practice by nursing students. In Sweden, clinical education units have become one way of creating consistency between university and health care practices on values of caring. METHOD: The study is hermeneutic in design comprising data from three focus group interviews. The participants include registered nurses, senior preceptors and head nurses. RESULT: The study shows that roles and mandates are not clearly defined between the different actors. The university and hospital collaboration in caring science integration was regarded as 'someone else's responsibility'. Research and development seemed excluded from the everyday life of the hospital units. The students seemed to fall somewhere between the hospital 'practice and concrete world of production' and the university 'theory world of education and research'. Three themes emerge: 'integration--someone else's responsibility', 'the hospital--a culture of production' and 'the hospital and the university--different realities'. DISCUSSION: The results suggest the need for professionals within health care and university to reflect on their responsibilities in terms of research and development. The ethos of caring science implies the alleviation of suffering and caring for vulnerable patients including research and development.

- Background: Honey has the antibacterial effect of silver without the toxic effect of silver on the skin. Even so, silver is the dominant antibacterial dressing used in wound healing.Objectives: To evaluate the healing effects of honey dressings compared to silver dressings for acute or chronic wounds. Design: A systematic review with meta-analysis.Method: The search, conducted in seven databases, resulted in six randomised controlled trial studies from South Asia focusing on antibacterial properties and healing times of honey and silver.Result: Honey was more efficacious for wound healing than silver, as measured in the number of days needed for wounds to heal (pooled risk difference -20, 95% CI -0.29 to -0.11, p < .001). Honey turned out to have more antibacterial qualities than silver.Conclusion: All the included studies based on burns showed the unequivocal result that honey had an even more positive effect than silver on wound healing.

Arrhythmias in Older People: Focusing on Atrial Fibrillation. Epidemiology and impact on daily Life.
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Older people with arrhythmias comprise a large group requiring complex care, posing many healthcare challenges. Rapid growth of the older population demands a better understanding of the needs of this patient group. The aim of this thesis was to investigate arrhythmia prevalence, incidence, survival, and experiences from the perspective of a geriatric population (aged 60+ years), and to examine the feasibility of using the new wireless LTR ECG-BodyKom® device for arrhythmia screening. This thesis comprises four studies (I–IV) performed using data from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care (SNAC). The results illustrate different perspectives regarding arrhythmias in the older general population. In Study I, 6904 subjects underwent ECG at baseline, of whom 3419 subjects (49.5%) of 66–105 years of age also underwent resting ECG at their 6-year follow-up visit. At baseline, there was a 4.9% prevalence (95% CI, 4.5–5.5) of atrial fibrillation (AF), and an 8.4% prevalence (95% CI, 7.7–9.0) of other arrhythmias, including ventricular premature complexes, supraventricular tachycardia, and supraventricular extrasystole. Additionally, 7.1% (95% CI, 6.5–7.7) exhibited a first or second degree AV block, and 1.3% (95% CI, 1.0–1.6) had a pacemaker-induced rhythm. Baseline arrhythmia presence did not significantly differ between men and women. The 6-year cumulative incidence of AF was 4.1% (95% CI, 3.5–4.9) or 6.9/1000 person-years (py) (95% CI, 5.7–8.0). Subgroup analyses revealed AF incidences of 9.9/1000 py (95% CI, 7.8–11.9) among men; 4.4/1,000 py (95% CI, 3.1–5.6) among women; 3.7/1000 py (95% CI, 2.6-4.7) in the 60- and 66-year age cohort; 8.9/1000 py (95% CI, 6.3–11.4) in the 72- and 78-year cohort; 20/1000 py (95% CI, 14.2-25.7) in the 81-, 84-, and 87-year cohort; and 18/1000 py (95% CI, 0.8–26.7) among those ≥90 years old. Incidences of AF, other arrhythmias, AV block, and pacemaker-induced rhythm were significantly higher among men, except in the oldest cohorts. Study II revealed that among 6904 persons (mean age, 73.9 years) the overall AF prevalence was 4.9%, which increased with age, except in the oldest subgroup. AF at baseline was associated with a hazard ratio (HR) of 1.29 (95% CI, 1.10–1.51) for death during the 10-year observation period. Cox regression analysis in persons with AF (n=341) revealed that men had a higher HR for death (1.57; 95% CI, 1.15–2.13) compared to women (P<0.01). CHA2DS2-VASc score was significantly associated with 10-year death (HR=1.29/score point; 95% CI, 1.10–1.51). A total of 146 participants (146%) reported any form of oral anticoagulant (OAC) use, and 14% reported OAC treatment with warfarin. Cox regression analysis of warfarin (33.6%) and ASA (66.4%), separately, revealed that warfarin was significantly associated with survival (P=0.031). Study III revealed persistent AF in 10% and paroxysmal AF in 5.5% of the population aged ≥66 years, with no differences between younger (66–80 years) and older (>80 years) subgroups. Our findings support LTR ECG-BodyKom® as a feasible method of screening for arrhythmias in older outpatient populations. This simple method requires little of the user, and participants reported high satisfaction with the equipment and a good overall experience wearing it. Study IV focused on geriatric experiences of living with arrhythmias. Interviews with older persons revealed one main theme: “ambivalence in the need of knowledge”. With regards to requiring lifelong medical treatment, participants expressed feelings of “it doesn’t matter, but it does matter” and “being in the hands of the healthcare system”. The participants lacked sufficient knowledge about their condition, leaving them with poor insight into their medical treatment, which, in turn, affected their daily life. They had thoughts and questions about their medical treatment, but had no opportunity to discuss these questions due to a lack of follow-up from the healthcare system. The findings of this thesis contribute to the knowledge regarding increasing arrhythmia occurrence in the older population, and the high number of untreated cases of AF. Furthermore the results demonstrate that AF is associated with increased mortality, and highlight sex-related differences in AF incidence. In line with findings from Europe and the USA, our findings show that AF incidence rapidly increases with advancing age. This thesis also highlights the present lack of knowledge and the need for follow-up and information regarding AF in the oldest old population.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Older people are at risk of developing multi-comorbidity and thus being exposed to multiple treatments and drugs to manage the emerging health complaints. More focus has been put on nonpharmacological alternatives. However, studies revealing the healthcare staff perspective on using nonpharmacological methods (NPMs) in the care of older people are still lacking. Thus, the aim of this study was to map the use of NPMs in daily practices and the follow-up thereof. A population-based survey with questionnaires was performed, included all healthcare professionals (n = 163; nurses and paramedical professionals) working in one district of elderly care in Sweden. The older person's anxiety and worry (76.1%), sleeping problems (53.1%) and pain (41.1%) were the health problems in daily life most likely to trigger use of NPMs. To manage the emerging health problems, interactions (87.1%), diet and nutrition supplements (63.2%) and physical activity were commonly used, particularly by nurses. One third (n = 54) stated that they did not evaluate the NPMs used, with no statistical differences between nurses and paramedical professionals. The present study indicated that NPMs were used in care of older people among nurses and paramedical professionals, but not in a systematic way and often without follow-up.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Older individuals with chronic atrial fibrillation (AF) often experience physical symptoms and feel psychologically unwell. In addition, these persons are prescribed lifelong medical treatment that requires regular monitoring. Through 11 individual interviews, this interpretive description study aimed to explore and describe lifelong medical treatment and the need for medical controls as experienced from the perspective of older individuals living with chronic AF. The interviews were performed during 2014–2015; furthermore, they were recorded, transcribed verbatim and analysed for thematic patterns using thematic analysis inspired by Braun and Clarke. Ethical standards were followed throughout the study. The findings revealed one main theme: ‘ambivalence in the need of knowledge’ showing that lifelong medical treatment and the need for medical controls, in general, meant experiencing feelings of ‘it doesn't matter, but it does matter’ and ‘being in the hands of the healthcare system’. The older persons lacked knowledge about their condition, which generated poor insight into their medical treatment and this in turn affected their daily life. They had thoughts and questions about their medication, but did not have an opportunity to ask the questions because of lack of follow-up from the healthcare system. The findings underscore the negative impact chronic AF has on older people's life and emphasises the need for follow-up and providing information from health care to these individuals.

Older persons' experience of eHealth services in home health care : A meta-ethnography eHealth services in home health care
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Health Informatics Journal. - : Sage Publications. - 1460-4582 .- 1741-2811. ; 27:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study aimed to describe older persons' experiences of eHealth services in home health care. A meta-ethnographic approach was applied, and a systematic literature search was conducted in three databases. In total, 11 articles were included and analysed, which resulted in two themes and six sub-themes. The results show that for older persons to use the eHealth services, they must provide some additional value compared to current contacts with healthcare professionals. Those with regular healthcare contact do not experience the eHealth service as adding anything to the care they already receive. The introduction of eHealth services involves learning how to use the new technology, and some older persons experience the technology as motivating and inspiring. The eHealth service makes some feel safer while some do not trust the technology. In order to make the best use of eHealth services, it is important that the services are adjusted not only to each person's needs but also to their personal capabilities and resources, while the older person must feel valued as an active partner in the care process. Thus, when using eHealth services, the older person's perspective needs to be given priority and decisions should not only be based on organizational considerations.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: To study the prevalence and cumulative incidence of arrhythmias in the general population of adults aged 60 and older over a 6-year period. Study Design and Setting: Data were taken from the Swedish National Study on Aging and Care (SNAC), a national, longitudinal, multidisciplinary study of the general elderly population (defined as 60 years of age or older). A 12-lead resting electrocardiography (ECG) was performed at baseline and 6-year follow-up. Results: The baseline prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) was 4.9% (95% confidence interval [CI] = [4.5%, 5.5%]), and other arrhythmias including ventricular premature complexes (VPCs), supraventricular tachycardia (SVT), and supraventricular extrasystole (SVES) were seen in 8.4% (7.7%, 9.0%) of the population. A first- or second-degree atrioventricular (AV) block was found in 7.1% of the population (95% CI = [6.5%, 7.7%]), and there were no significant differences between men and women in baseline arrhythmia prevalence. The 6-year cumulative incidence of AF was 4.1% (95% CI = [3.5%, 4.9%]), or 6.9/1,000 person-years (py; 95% CI = [5.7, 8.0]). The incidence of AF, other arrhythmias, AV block, and pacemaker-induced rhythm was significantly higher in men in all cohorts except for the oldest. Conclusion: Our data highlight the prevalence and incidence of arrhythmias, which rapidly increase with advancing age in the general population.
