Proceedings (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Temat för konferensen i Umeå var ”Tala, lyssna, skriva, läsa, lära – modersmålsundervisning i ett nordiskt perspektiv”. De inledande fem honnörsorden i rubriken var inte tänkta som ett eko ur det förflutna, det vill säga från momentsplittringen i de gamla Lgr 69 och Lgy 70, utan fick ge namn åt parallella sessioner där svenskämnets helhet var en självklar utgångspunkt. Forskning om elevers språkutveckling i vid mening stimuleras av en vidare didaktisk syn som inte begränsas till enbart modersmålsundervisning. Forskning om hur man talar, lyssnar, läser och skriver i inlärningssituationer är något vi vill tro kan komma all undervisning till del.Det finns en risk med att sätta ’språkutveckling’ i fokus, som om studier inom fältet Svenska med didaktisk inriktning vore renodlat språkinriktade. Så är det inte. Forskning om hur skönlitteratur, och andra kommunikationsformer, kommer in i klassrummet är ett centralt forskningsområde som Nätverket vill stödja, vilket läsaren av denna konferensvolym kommer att upptäcka. Rapporter från projektet ”Den skönlitterära texten i skola och lärarutbildning” liksom samtal om framtida möjliga projekt var uppskattade inslag i konferensen. Svenska är det största ämnet i skolan, med vilka mått man än mäter och vilka aspekter man än betonar. I skolämnet Svenska ingår språk- och litteraturstudier. En lektor och lärarutbildare har än så länge normalt bara fördjupad kompetens i en av ämnets delar. Framväxten av forskarutbildning inom Svenska med didaktisk inriktning innebär på sikt en dubblering av kompetensen. Glädjande nog deltog flera doktorander och disputerade inom fältet Svenska med didaktisk inriktning i konferensen, vilket också avspeglas i denna volym.Ett utvecklat samarbete mellan universitetsämnena nordiska språk och litteraturvetenskap samt med Lärarutbildningen är en självklar förutsättning för utbildning av kvalificerade svensklärare. Vid Umeå universitet studeras nordiska språk och litteraturvetenskap vid en och samma institution, en lösning som bidragit till ett fördjupat samarbete i lärarutbildningen. Representanter från lärarutbildning, litteraturvetenskap och nordiska språk ingår också i ledningsgruppen för Nätverket, vilket bidragit till att arbetet med konferensen och konferensvolymen varit stimulerande och verklighetsförankrat.Svenskämnets storlek och betydelse gör att behovet av forskning inom både ungdomsskola, lärarutbildningar och andra inlärningssituationer är mycket stort. Nätverkets konferenser ska stimulera till adekvat forskning inom området och vara en naturlig mötesplats för forskare att presentera sina rön. Med konferensvolymen från Smdi:s fjärde konferens tar vi ännu ett steg framåt. Plenarföredragen får inleda volymen, varefter sektionsföredragen kommer i bokstavsordning.

- AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To describe nurses´ experiences of interprofessional collaboration (IPC) in connection with a medical ship offering primary health care in Papua New Guinea.BACKGROUND: More than a third of the population in Papua New Guinea are living in severe poverty, resulting in serious and fatal diseases. Due to rough terrain and lack of infrastructure, most of them cannot benefit from health care in the cities. Thus, a medical ship is used since the sea route is one of the few possible ways to reach the people.DESIGN: A qualitative study with an inductive and descriptive approach was performed, and content analysis of the data was used.METHODS: In January 2018, eleven nurses from seven countries were interviewed onboard the medical ship assessing their experiences when performing IPC. The COREQ checklist for qualitative studies was applied in the conduct and reporting of this study.RESULTS: Three generic categories emerged: Nurses' motivation to achieve the common goal of doing good using IPC; Nurses' view of performing IPC within special conditions; and Nurses' perception of their role in IPC. Overall, the IPC was perceived by the nurses as well functioning. Having a common goal, positive mindset and effective communication improved the team's collaboration. When these aspects were accomplished, the chances of overcoming the challenge of working in new circumstances and limited space with a newly formed team were increased.CONCLUSION: Good collaboration within an interprofessional team required repeated sharing of information. This demonstrates the importance of communication and engagement to overcome existing challenges when working interprofessionally.RELEVANCE TO CLINICAL PRACTICE: This study recommends the establishment of IPC for similar contexts such as onboard Youth With a Mission and ashore, as well as in disaster situations or home care where the healthcare professional must collaborate and adapt to new circumstances and prevailing situations.

- Aim The aim of this study was to describe district nurses’ conceptions of medical technology in palliative homecare.Background Medical technology has, in recent years, been widely used in palliative homecare. Personnel with varying degrees of training and knowledge must be able to handle the new technology.Methods A descriptive design with a phenomenographic approach was chosen to describe qualitatively different conceptions of the phenomenon medical technology. Interviews with 16 district nurses working with palliative homecare were analysed and five descriptive categories emerged.Results Medical technology in palliative homecare led to vulnerability because of increasing demands and changing tasks. When medical technology was used in the home it demanded collaboration between all involved actors. It also demanded self-reliance and an awareness of managing medical technology in a patient-safe way. Medical technology provided freedom for the palliative patients.Conclusions To maintain patient safety, more education and collaboration with palliative care teams is needed. Next-of-kin are considered as an important resource but their participation must be based on their own conditions.Implications for nursing management District nurses need regular training on medical devices, must be more specialized in this kind of care and must not fragment their working time within other specialities.

- The escalation in the number of medical devices in home care increases the demands on district nurses’ knowledge and skills. This qualitative interview study with 13 district nurses from Sweden aimed to describe their experiences of advanced medical technology in home care. The COREQ checklist for qualitative studies was applied. The results showed two categories: district nurses’ experiences of collaborating in teams and district nurses’ experiences of performing safe care. The safe use of advanced medical technology in home care required good collaboration between all the parties involved. This resulted in a certain amount of freedom and increased quality of life for the patients. District nurses needed time, continuity, practical training, and repeated education to be able to provide safe care. Distinct leadership was important at all organizational levels. The results can generate a safe and sustainable work environment for district nurses, almost independent of their technical background.

- AIM: This paper is a report of a study to describe situations influencing next-of-kin caregivers' ability to manage palliative care in the home.BACKGROUND: Palliative home care often involves major resources from next-of-kin, municipal and county personnel. Next-of-kin caregivers' situation is depicted as so demanding and exhausting that it can affect their mental health and limit their ability to continue as a caregiver.METHODS: A qualitative study using the Critical Incident Technique was conducted. Nine next-of-kin caregivers from palliative home care were strategically chosen and data were collected using audiotaped interviews in 2005.FINDINGS: The analysis resulted in two main areas: 'Maintaining control' and 'Losing control'. Next-of-kin caregivers wanted to maintain control over their lives by being continuously available 24 hours a day and by supporting and taking complete responsibility for all of the patient's needs. They lost this control when professional assistance was lacking and they described feelings of inadequacy when their physical energy or time was insufficient. They felt incapable as the patient's physical or mental persona metamorphosed or as serious symptoms developed that they could not control.CONCLUSION: Next-of-kin caregivers and the patients must feel free to choose where palliative home care will be provided and that their choice at any time can be re-evaluated, due to insecurity or workload changes. When planning for palliative care, they should be informed that having only one caregiver reduces the chances of completing palliative care in the home.

- Aims and objectives. Describe next-of-kin’s conceptions of medical technology in palliative homecare.Background. Next-of-kin to palliative patients are in an exposed position with increasing responsibility. The more involved they are in the care, the greater caregiver burden they describe. Medical technology has become increasingly common in palliative homecare, and previous research suggests that the devices transform the homes to a hospital ward, thus shifting responsibility from the personnel to the next-of-kin.Design. An explorative descriptive design with a phenomenographic approach was chosen to describe qualitatively different conceptions of the phenomenon medical technology.Method. Interviews with 15 next-of-kin to patients in palliative homecare were analysed in a seven-step process where 10 conceptions emerged in five description categories.Results. Medical technology in palliative homecare required next-of-kin’s responsibility in monitoring or providing practical help. It also implied uncertainty among the next-of-kin because of worries about its safety or because of an improper handling. The technology trespassed on daily life because it restricted and affected the private sphere. Medical technology enabled comfort as it implied security and was a prerequisite for the patient to be cared for at home. It also required an adjustment to comprehend and manage the medical technology.Conclusions. Medical technology resulted in an increased caregiver burden and uncertainty among the next-of-kin. Although it meant restrictions and affected their social life, they had great confidence in its possibilities.Relevance to clinical practice. It is important to limit the amount of personnel and materials in the home to avoid trespassing on the family’s daily life. Medical personnel also have to be sensitive to what next-of-kin have the strength to do and not use them as informal caregivers.

- Healthcare reforms and reductions in the number of hospital beds are leading to an increasing amount of medical technology moving from hospitals into home care, affecting the daily lives of patients. The aim of this study was therefore to describe the ways patients understand medical technology in palliative home care. With use of a phenomenographic approach, 15 patients with medical technology were interviewed, and data were analyzed in a 7-step process. Three ways of understanding the phenomenon emerged: a masterful patient, an adjustable patient, and a restricted patient. Masterful patients took control over the medical technology and were mostly independent of assistance from personnel. Adjustable patients accepted and adapted their lives to the medical technology and were satisfied with assistance from the personnel. Restricted patients were reminded daily of the medical technology and dependent on assistance from personnel. Depending on the patients' health conditions, the support from the personnel, and the impact of medical technology, a transfer between the different ways of understanding occurred with a simultaneous movement between independence and dependence. The patient exhibited various ways of understanding, although one way of understanding was more dominant.
