- Workplace surveys are used in workplace health promotion as a basis for improvements at the workplace. But there is lack of psychometrically and qualitatively validated work-health related instruments with a salutogenic approach. The purpose of this study was, therefore, to evaluate the two instruments, the Salutogenic Health Indicator Scale and the Work Experience Measurement Scale, among staff of different professions in a healthcare setting. These instruments were evaluated with cognitive interviews conducted at a hospital in Sweden. The respondents were purposefully selected from various criteria such as profession, age, and sex (N = 14). The respondents read the items aloud and then spoke about how they experienced the items. A deductive (partly inductive) content analysis was done from Tourangeau's four concepts of respondent actions: comprehension, retrieval, judgment, and response. Two main categories emerged: (1) interpreting and (2) responding, and an additional six subcategories: difficulty, essence, direction, keywords, strategy, and alternatives. The results showed strengths and weaknesses of the instruments. The results were discussed from various validity aspects: face validity, content validity, and user validity. The validity aspects were connected to concepts of respondent actions as well as to questionnaire and respondent factors for motivation.

- Många livsstilssjukdomar kan förebyggas och behandlas genom hälsosammalevnadsvanor. De levnadsvanor som har störst inverkan på hälsan inkluderar matvanor, tobaksbruk, alkoholkonsumtion och fysisk aktivitet. Socialstyrelsen kräver att all vårdpersonal, vid varje vårdmöte, ska erbjuda patienter samtal om deras levnadsvanor, men forskning visar att enbart 30% av alla patienter i Sverige får detta erbjudande. En orsak till detta är att vårdpersonal inte känner sig rustade för samtal om levnadsvanor. Tidigare studier antyder att utbildning om levnadsvanor skulle kunna ge bättre förutsättningar för vårdpersonal och leda till att fler patienter erbjuds samtal om levnadsvanor. Syftet med den här studien var att utveckla ett frågeformulär som mäter tilltro till egen kunskap och förmåga att samtala med patienter om levnadsvanor, samt kvalitetstesta dess mätegenskaper. Grundat på ett redan existerande frågeformulär, nationella riktlinjer och 18 intervjuer medsjuksköterskestudenter, lärare, kliniker och experter inom området levnadsvanor, utvecklades ett frågeformulär. Denna besvarades sedan av 310 sjuksköterskestudenter, och dess mätegenskaper analyserades. Resultatet visar att frågeformuläret är lätt att förstå och har goda mätegenskaper. Det har god reliabilitet för gruppanvändning, svarsalternativen fungerar som förväntat och det finns inga systematiska skillnader i hur frågeformuläret besvaras. Teoretisk kunskap och praktisk förmåga visade sig vara två olika delar, där teoretisk kunskap är en förutsättning för praktisk förmåga att samtala om levnadsvanor. Vår förhoppning är att frågeformuläret i framtiden ska kunna användas i vårdutbildningar och i klinisk verksamhet för att utvärdera utbildningsinsatser kring samtal om levnadsvanor. BACKGROUND: Globally as well as in Sweden, diseases that are caused by unhealthy lifestyle habits are the most common causes of death and disability. Even though there are guidelines that oblige all health-care professionals to counsel patients about lifestyle, studies have shown that it is not prioritized within healthcare. One reason for this among nurses has been shown to be lack of confidence in knowledge and counselling skills. This study aimed to develop, and quality assess the psychometric properties of an instrument to measure self-efficacy in lifestyle counselling. METHODS: An instrument inspired by an American instrument, following Bandura's recommendations for development of self-efficacy measures, was developed according to Swedish national guidelines for disease-prevention. The instrument was revised after cognitive interviews with nursing students, university teachers within health sciences, and clinical experts, then administrated to 310 nursing students at different levels in their education. The instrument was tested with Rasch Measurement Theory, with focus on dimensionality, local dependency, targeting, reliability, response category functioning, Rasch model fit, and differential item functioning by age, gender, educational level and previous health care education. RESULTS: The development of the instrument resulted in 20+20 items, 20 items about self-efficacy in knowledge, and 20 items about self-efficacy in ability to counsel persons about their lifestyle. The analyses showed that knowledge and ability are two different, but related, constructs, where ability is more demanding than knowledge. The findings provide support (considering dimensionality and local dependency) for that all 20 items within the knowledge construct as well as the 20 items within the ability construct can be summed, achieving two separate but related total scores, where knowledge (reliability 0.81) is a prerequisite for ability (reliability 0.84). Items represented lower self-efficacy than reported by the respondents. Response categories functioned as expected, Rasch model fit was acceptable, and there was no differential item functioning. CONCLUSIONS: The SELC 20 + 20 was found to be easy to understand with an acceptable respondent burden and the instrument showed good measurement properties.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- The work environment and especially the psychosocial work environment influence the mental and physical well-being of employees. The aim of this study was to identify and analyse the state of knowledge regarding nurses’ work situation, health, and person-centred work during the COVID-19 pandemic through a systematic review. Methods: Systematic Review, nine included articles. The theoretical swAge model was used as the framework in a deductive content analysis. Results: The result was presented in the nine determinate areas from the swAge model and showed that all nine determinate areas of the swAge model were of importance to both the nurses’ sustainable work situation during the COVID-19 pandemic and to person-centred care. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a negative effect on nurses’ health, both physically but especially psychologically, with high levels of depression, anxiety, and burnout. Nurses experienced a lack of control and support from organizations. They had to work with limited resources and sometimes care for patients beyond their expertise. Conclusion: There is a further need for more studies that address person-centredness from an organisational perspective with the intention to develop strategies and measure activities on how to make the nurses’ work situation more sustainable, and to increase their ability to give more person-centred care.

- Aims and objectives: To explore municipal healthcare employees' experiences of relationships with care recipients and colleagues. The specific research questions were when do the relationships enhance well-being, and what prerequisites are needed for such relationships to occur? Background: Employees in health and social care for older people often depict their work in negative terms, and they often take a high number of sick leaves. Despite the heavy workload, other employees express well-being at work and highlight social relationships as one reason for this. However, a greater understanding of how these relationships can act as resources for workplace well-being is needed. Design: The design of the study was qualitative and exploratory. Methods: Qualitative interview studies were conducted with 23 healthcare employees in municipal health care. Thematic analysis was used to analyse the data. Results: Two themes were identified as resources for promoting relationships between employees and care recipients or colleagues: (a) Being personal-a close interpersonal relationship to a care recipient-and (b) Colleague belongingness-a sense of togetherness within the working group. Spending quality time together, providing long-term care and providing additional care were prerequisites for a close interpersonal relationship with care recipients. Trust, mutual responsibility and cooperation were prerequisites for a sense of togetherness within the working group. Conclusions: The findings provide an empirical base to raise awareness of relationships with care recipients and colleagues as health aspects. Relationships among employees in health care are vital resources that must be considered to create sustainable workplaces and consequently improve the quality of care. Relevance to clinical practice: The results of this study advocate health promotion efforts based on interpersonal relationships at the workplace. Dialogues in the working groups, based on the employees' experiences of positive daily situations, may be a promoting method for the work-related well-being of the employees.
