Försoning : ur ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv
- 2008
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Avhandlingens övergripande syfte var att ur ett vårdvetenskapligt perspektiv belysa försoningens innebörder i förhållande till människans hälsa och lidande. Valet av perspektiv grundar sig på vårdvetenskapens ställningstaganden i relation till hälsa och lidande. De grundantaganden som varit forskningens utgångspunkt är att hälsa är mer än frånvaro av sjukdom, att hälsa innebär helhet och helighet, att lidande är en oskiljaktig del av livet samt att lidande och hälsa utgör varandras förutsättningar. Valet av perspektiv grundar sig dessutom på den kliniska vårdvetenskapens tankar om grundforskning vilken har som sin övergripande uppgift att forma ideal för vårdandet. Grundforskning inom klinisk vårdvetenskap syftar i första hand till utveckling av kunskap kring hälsa, lidande och vårdande samt förståelse för dessa fenomen i den kliniska situationen. Föreliggande forsknings övergripande frågeställningen var: Vad är försoningens innebörder? Denna frågeställning följdes av: Vad är försoning relaterat till hälsa och lidande? Forskningen har genomförts via fyra delstudier som alla skiftat gällande material och metod. Den övergripande metodologin har haft sin utgångspunkt i hermeneutik inspirerad av Paul Ricoeur. Den första delstudien är en metasyntes av aktuell forskning som berört försoning, medan den andra delstudien utgörs av en begreppsanalys av ordböcker. Delstudie tre består av skönlitterära texter som lyfter fram innebörder av försoning. Tolkningsprocessen i den tredje delstudien har följt en fenomenologisk hermeneutik riktning. Den fjärde delstudien är empirisk och utgår från berättelser om försoning. Dessa försoningsberättelser, från åtta kvinnor med personliga erfarenhet av sorg, har tolkats med utgångspunkt i en hermeneutisk narrativ ansats. Slutligen har en stillbild skapats utifrån förståelsen så som den framträder framför texten då avhandlingens olika delstudier gått i dialektik med varandra samt med tolkningsramen. Stillbilden utgör en belysning av försoningens innebörder i förhållande till människans hälsa och lidande. I denna visuella stillbild framträder två olika former av innebörder; De yttre formerna av försoningens innebörder belyser försoningens gestaltning och position i förhållande till hälsa och lidande. Försoning innehar en progressiv form som innebär en övergång från upplevelse av delar till helhet men också en helande process mellan dåtid och nutid samt utgör därmed en länk till framtiden. De inre formerna av försoningens innebörder belyser människans inre förhållande till hälsa och lidande. Försoningens innebörd kan ses som ett förenande genom härbärgerande av motsatser som tidigare varit skilda och omöjliga att rymma inom människan i en heterogens syntes.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction: Grief can be seen as a form of suffering. In this study grief was not only defined as loss, but as the process of inner suffering caused of some kinds of loss. We must recognise the importance of increased understanding for patient reconciliation with grief to expand earlier formulated knowledge about health and suffering. The aim in this study was ti illuminate the meaning of reconciliation among women suffering from grief.Methods:A qualitative explorative design with a hermeneutic narrative approach was used to analyse and interpret the interviews. Caring theory abouth health, suffering and hermeneutical philosophy about understanding provided the point of departure for the analysis. The study was approved by an ethical research committé.Results:Findings reveal different plots that give light to the meaning of reconciliation in the different phases of analysis. In the Women´s narratives the meaning of reconciliation is a process to a new way of seeing, but also to opening and transition from the experience of grief and suffering to the experience of health and holiness.Conclusions: Reconciliation has a progressive form and the meaning of reconciliation cannot be seen as synonymous or homogenous but an understanding of reconciliation as a heterogenic synthesis of health and suffering. Understanding the reconciliation process will enable nurses to plan and provide professional care, based on caring science.

Power as authority - concept determination from a Christian and a caring science perspective
- 2006
-
Ingår i: International Journal for Human Caring. - 1091-5710. ; 10:4, s. 39-44
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim was to deepen the understanding and the knowledge of the concepts and phenomena of power and authority from the standpoint of caring science. An ontological determination of the character of the concepts is carried out where a hermeneutic interpretation is made of texts in the Old and the New Testaments in the Bible. The findings show how a human being's power is the authority to hold every living thing in trust, to tend to and care for life. Serving one's fellow-being is the purpose for anyone using this authority.

Hermeneutic caring conversations in forensic psychiatric caring
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In forensic psychiatric care, a hermeneutic caring conversation between caregivers and patients can improve health outcomes. The hermeneutic approach entails starting from the whole and involves openness for what is shown as well as paying attention to the different parts. One way to deepen these conversations is to take advantage of both the caregivers and the patients life experiences.

Det outsagda och ohörsammade lidandet : Tillvaron för personer med långvarig psykossjukdom och deras närstående
- 2010
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Aim: The overall aim of the thesis was to describe the lived experience of being in the world with long term psychotic illness. This is described from three perspectives; the perspective of persons diagnosed with long term psychotic disorder; the perspective of their relatives; and a family perspective.Method: Three studies were conducted guided by a reflective lifeworld approach grounded in phenomenology. The data were generated through individual, group, and family interviews. Data were analyzed for essential meanings of being in the world.Results: Persons with long term psychotic illness live in a borderland of paradoxes between the usual and unusual. For the ill persons the existence is incomprehensible and defenceless with feelings of not being at home in the body and in the world. They search for themselves in a care context that is contradictory, simultaneously good and hostile. These experiences are mostly unspoken, a struggle with doubts about having health or illness, what is good or evil, and about being usual or unusual. The relatives exist in a dilemma of the possible and impossible, a continual infinite struggle. Co-existing with their ill family member is a communion and a longing for togetherness is prominent. Relatives struggle with responsibilities for themselves and for their ill family member. In these unheard struggles the relatives yearn for participation in the formal care context. Family interviews with persons with long term psychotic illness and their relatives revealed a co-existence hovering between chaos and boredom while striving for a peaceful and quiet life. Thefamilies search for constancy and predictability in the presence of incomprehensible and threatening dangers. The experience of being a We balances the unshared meanings of being in the world and the loss of being able to experience and do things together. The experience of being a We keeps their individual existence and co- existence from falling apart.Conclusion: Persons with long term psychotic illness and their relatives have to withstand extensive existential suffering, which is unspoken and unheard. Formal caring should be existential caring, supporting the ill person’s comprehensibility and understanding of life, and feelings and experiences of being at home. Further, relatives should be acknowledged both as persons and carers and invited to participate in formal care. These results also point to the importance of strengthening feelings of togetherness and of being a We through systemic oriented existential conversations, where the ill person, their relative and a formal carer converse together.

Hermeneutics and narration : a way to deal with qualitative data

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article focuses a hermeneutic approach to the interpretation of narratives. It is based on the French philosopher Paul Ricoeur’s theory of interpretation but modified and used within a caring science paradigm. The article begins with a presentation of the theoretical underpinnings of hermeneutic philosophy and narration, as well as Ricoeur’s theory of interpretation, before going on to describe the interpretationprocess as modified by the authors. The interpretationprocess which consists of several stages is exemplified and discussed using a single case from a larger study on suffering. The results of that study indicate that the struggle of suffering is perceived as a struggle formed between shame and dignity, and that nurses must engage in the process of preserving and restoring the dignity of their suffering patients. The authors suggest that Ricoeur’s theory of interpretation is useful when trying to understand narrative data if the researcher realises that the process of distanciation, although central in Ricoeur’s thinking, is not the goal of the process but rather it is a means to deal with the researcher’s pre-understandings. According to Ricoeur, distanciation is accomplished by putting the context aside and dealing with the text “as text” and thereby explaining its meaning. Explanation thus becomes the dialectic counterpart to understanding in the interpretationprocess. The researchers further argue that distanciation must be followed by reflection where the interpretations are linked back to the empirical context.
