- Background Despite the challenges that caring for a child with cancer brings for parents, little knowledge is available concerning the effects on the parents’ couple relationship. Furthermore, few interventions have been designed to support parents in their couple relationship. The aim of this paper was, therefore, to explore parents’ experiences of their couple relationship while having a dependent child with cancer and the support they received from a family-based intervention, the Family Talk Intervention (FTI).Methods Data for this paper were taken from semi-structured interviews performed in a pilot study of the FTI in the context of pediatric oncology. In total, 22 couples were interviewed after participating in the FTI. The interviews were transcribed and analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Results Parents described how maintaining a couple relationship while living with childhood cancer could be very challenging and was not given the highest priority. The FTI was considered a way of providing important support to the couple and a chance for them to sit down together and listen to each other's perspectives on the situation. Parents described that the FTI had helped them gain an increased mutual understanding, sometimes also helping them to realize that they needed more extensive professional support in their relationship.Conclusions Living with childhood cancer and upholding a healthy couple relationship is challenging for parents. The FTI has the potential to support couples, mainly by providing opportunities for parents to communicate with each other. However, some couples may be in need of a tailored clinical intervention.

Skötsel av historiska trädgårdar : Grusgångar
- 2018
-
Bok (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- En grusgång är i huvudsak uppbyggd av ett bärlager, som skall ge gången hållfasthet och avgöra hur mycket tyngd den klarar av, samt ett ytskikt, eller slitlager, som ger gången dess karaktär och i viss mån avgör dess funktion. I denna skrift uppmärksammas grusytor som element i historiska trädgårdar. Målsättningen är att sprida kunskap om historisk anläggning, historiska materialval och historisk skötsel samt bidra till medvetna val av skötselmetoder. Skriften redogör främst för skötsel och anläggning av grusgångar i historiska trädgårdar i Sverige från 1650 och framåt, men skötselmetoderna är desamma även för vägar, större grusytor och grusplaner. Modern anläggningsteknik för grusgångar och nutida skötselmetoder i andra länder lämnas dock därhän.

- Objective: The purpose of the study was to examine associations between self-esteem and symptoms of anxiety and depression among young adults who lost a parent to cancer.Methods: Older adolescents and young adults, aged 16 to 28 years, who had lost their parent to cancer and had accepted an invitation to join a support group, completed a questionnaire 5 to 8 months after the loss and a similar questionnaire about 10 months later (follow-up). Of a total of 77 young adults who participated in the study, 56 completed both questionnaires. Self-esteem was measured with the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Symptoms of anxiety and depression were measured with the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale. Univariate and multiple linear regression models were used to analyze the associations.Result: Self-esteem was significantly associated with symptoms of anxiety and depression at baseline and at follow-up.Conclusion: This study reveals that self-esteem is a valuable explanatory variable, and that it is associated with both symptoms of anxiety and depression in bereavement. This new knowledge could be used to guide future support to parentally bereaved young adults.

- 2020
-
Ingår i: Journal of Social Work in End-of-Life & Palliative Care. - : Taylor & Francis Group. - 1552-4256 .- 1552-4264. ; 16:4, s. 330-345

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this study was to investigate variations in psychosocial well-being over time among young adults who participated in a support group after the death of a parent from cancer. Fifty-five young adults, aged 16-28 years, completed questionnaires that measured self-esteem, anxiety, depression, and life satisfaction at three time-points during the first year-and-one-half after the loss. Results indicated overall poor psychosocial well-being with few increases in psychological health over the study period, despite access to support and social networks. However, these resources may help to prevent major impairments in the participants' future lives.

- 2023
-
Ingår i: Omega. - : Sage Publications. - 0030-2228 .- 1541-3764.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This study aims to examine posttraumatic growth and its associations with parental bereavement among adolescents and young adults. Fifty-five young adults who had lost a parent to cancer at least 2 months earlier and were about to attend a support group at a palliative care service were recruited. Data was collected through questionnaires before support group participation, about 5-8 months after the loss and at a 6-month follow-up, about 14-18 months after the loss. The result shows that the young adults experienced posttraumatic growth, mostly in the domains Personal strength and Appreciation of life. Posttraumatic growth was associated with bereavement outcomes, especially life satisfaction, a feeling of meaning in future life and psychological health. The result is of value for health care professionals as it adds information about the importance of supporting constructive rumination to enhance the possibility to positive psychological change after a parent's death.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: To explore family members’ supportive interactions in palliative care and the emotional experiences that they associate with these interactions. Methods: Qualitative individual interviews were performed with bereaved family members recruited from an urban palliative care service in Sweden. The interviews were analysed using inductive qualitative content analysis. Results: Five categories of supportive interactions with staff members were linked with emotional consequences: informational support, supportive encounters, professional focus of staff, a supportive environment, and bereavement support. Having a dialogue with family members nurtured certainty and security, supportive encounters gave a warm and comforting feeling, and bereavement support contributed to feelings of strength. Environmental factors contributed to dignity. Conclusion: Supportive interactions with staff and within a home-like environment help to build resilience if tailored to the family member’s own needs.
