Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Ge sjuksköterskor utrymme att göra kvalificerade bedömningar av patientens omvårdnadsbehov och låt dem också få gehör för de omvårdnadsinterventioner de föreslår. Det skulle inte bara bidra till att minska samvetsstress och arbetsrelaterad ohälsa hos sjuksköterskor utan också bidra till att de stannar i yrket, skriver sex forskare i vårdvetenskap.

- Introduction: Prolonged progress can occur in the first and second stages of labour and may contribute to a negative birth experience. However, previous studies have mainly focused on quantitative aspects or overall birth experience, and little is known about women's experiences of a prolonged passive second stage. Objective: To describe the lived experiences of a prolonged passive second stage of labour in nulliparous women. Methods: A qualitative study was conducted with 15 nulliparous women with a passive second stage lasting three hours or more. Data were analysed using thematic analysis based on descriptive phenomenology. Results: The analysis resulted in four themes: “An unknown phase” that entailed remaining in a phase that the women lacked an awareness of. “Trust and mistrust in the body's ability” represents the mindset for vaginal birth as well as feelings of powerlessness and self-guilt. The theme “Loss of control” included experiences of frustration, fatigue, and having to deny bodily instincts. “Support through presence and involvement” signifies support through the midwife's presence in the birthing room, although there were also descriptions of emotional or physical absence. Conclusions: The findings contribute to the understanding of prolonged labour based on women's lived experiences and add to the body of knowledge about the prolonged passive second stage. This study highlights that women need support through information, presence, and encouragement to remain in control. It can be beneficial during birth preparation to include knowledge about the passive second stage together with unexpected or complicated situations during birth, such as prolonged labour.

- The aim of this study is to understand how healthy, older adults in Sweden perceive their life situation after retirement. The study is based on a lifeworld approach, and a phenomenographic method was used. Eighteen participants were interviewed, and data were analysed according to the phenomenographic principle of qualitatively different categories. Two categories were developed. The first category, “perceptions that draw attention inward, towards one’s self”, was further described in three subcategories: Sense of decreased status in society, the desire to keep aging at a distance, and contemplation of one’s own existence. The second category, “perceptions that draw attention outward, away from one’s self” was further described in the following four subcategories: caretaking of family members, involvement in social relationships, finding of deep meaning in animals and nature and engagement with society. In the discussion, the findings are further illuminated through comparisons with concepts such as maturity, wisdom and gerotranscendence, and reflections on the findings ‘relevance to a caring context follow. The conclusion suggests this study can provide knowledge that will allow healthcare providers to bridge the gap between generations in order to provide high-quality care. However, for a more profound caring dialogue, for example, about the end of life, a deeper analysis is required.

- PURPOSE This study aimed to describe community-dwelling older adults’ perceptions of health and well-being in life after retirement.METHODS This study is part of a larger project using a mixed-methods design to address lifestyles’ influence on community-dwelling older adults’ health. Individual semi-structured interviews were conducted with 18 older adults in age 70 to 95 years. Data were analysed according to a phenomenographic approach.RESULTS The results encompass four categories describing variations in community-dwelling older adults’ perceptions of health and well-being after retirement: feeling well despite illness and disease, interacting with and being useful for oneself and others, independently embracing opportunities and engaging in life, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.CONCLUSIONS The absence of illness and disease is not a clear prerequisite for a sense of health and well-being. To promote and preserve health and well-being after retirement, older adults strived for—and coached themselves to uphold—a balance in life, focusing on not burdening others. This life orientation after retirement must be acknowledged by society at large, especially from an ageist perspective, and in health and social care to preserve and promote health and well-being.

- BREASTFEEDING AND EXPERIENCED EXPOSEDNESS IN PARTNER RELATIONSHIPIda Gustafsson RN, RM, Lecturer, PhD-studentFaculty of Caring Science, Work Life and Social Welfare, University of Borås, Borås, SwedenGunilla Carlsson RN, PhD, ProfessorFaculty of Caring Science, Work Life and Social Welfare, University of Borås, Borås, SwedenKatarina Karlsson RN, PhDFaculty of Caring Science, Work Life and Social Welfare, University of Borås, Borås, SwedenAleksandra Jarling RN, PhD, LecturerFaculty of Caring Science, Work Life and Social Welfare, University of Borås, Borås, SwedenLina Palmér RN, RM, PhD, Associate Professor, DocentFaculty of Caring Science, Work Life and Social Welfare, University of Borås, Borås, Sweden Background: About 110 000 children are born in Sweden annually. The vast majority of their mothers wish to breastfeed, and also initiate breastfeeding. An important factor for continued breastfeeding is support, especially from the partner. It is likely that lack of support can lead to perceived vulnerability in the partner relationship. Intimate partner violence (IPV) during pregnancy is in Sweden nearly as common as gestational diabetes and the frequency seems to rise postpartum. IPV is multifaceted and encompasses many types and degrees of violence. In a caring science perspective the experience of vulnerability and/or exposedness in partner relationship during breastfeeding (or breastfeeding desire) risks negatively affecting womens health and well-being, regardless of the reason or degree of exposedness. For care to be caring - that is, support health and well-being - knowledge is needed from the perspective of the exposed women. Previous lifeworld theoretical research has shown that breastfeeding may be experienced as an existential challenge and that exposedness to violence during the childbearing period means a long-lasting embodied experience. In this project, these two phenomena are intertwined into a common phenomenon - Breastfeeding in case of experienced exposedness in a partner relationship. Aim: The purpose of the PhD-project is to develop in-depth knowledge of existential meanings of breastfeeding in case of experienced exposedness in a partner relationship (Study 1-2), and what it means to be cared for (Study 3), as well as to give care and support in this context (Study 4). Methods: The project has a reflective lifeworld approach. Data has been collected through lifeworld interviews and written lifeworld stories and will be analyzed using a phenomenological or hermeneutical approach. Results & Conclusion: The results and conclusions of the first study are expected to be completed in the summer of 2023 and will be presented at the conference.

- CLINICAL INTRODUCTION AND EVALUATION OF THE EXISTENTIAL BREASTFEEDING DIFFICULTY SCALE (EXBREASTS) IN THE CONTEXT OF CHILD HEALTH CAREIda Gustafsson RN, RM, Lecturer, PhD-studentFaculty of Caring Science, Work Life and Social Welfare, University of Borås, Borås, SwedenMalin Spångby RN, MNScChild Health Services, Region Jönköping County, Jönköping, SwedenAnn Arvidsdal RN, MNScChild Health Services, Region Jönköping County, Jönköping, SwedenMarie Golsäter RN, PhD, DocentChild Health Services, Region Jönköping County, Jönköping, SwedenCHILD Research Group, School of Health and Welfare, Jönköping University, Jönköping, SwedenDepartment of Health, Medicine and Caring, Linköping University, Linköping, SwedenLina Palmér RN, RM, Associate Professor, DocentFaculty of Caring Science, Work Life and Social Welfare, University of Borås, Borås, Sweden Background: Breastfeeding, both with and without perceived difficulties, can be experienced as an existential journey. Therefore, care needs to be based on the woman's breastfeeding story and carers need to be prepared to handle the existential questions that may arise. Previous research shows that healthcare professionals struggle with providing individually tailored care. The Existential Breastfeeding Difficulty Scale (ExBreastS) was developed based on lifeworld theoretical research on women's experiences of initiating breastfeeding with or without breastfeeding difficulties and was in this study introduced in child healthcare in a Swedish region. This was done to evaluate its ability to support child healthcare nurses to conduct existentially oriented caring dialogues with the breastfeeding story in focus. Aim: Describe child healthcare nurses’ lived experience of how ExBreastS influences the caring dialogue. Methods: Lifeworld interviews were conducted with 17 child healthcare nurses about their experience of using ExBreastS to support caring dialogues with breastfeeding women. The interviews were conducted either individually, in pairs or in groups. The material was analyzed through thematic analysis based on descriptive phenomenology. Results: The results show that ExBreastS contributes to the re-evaluation of the importance of the caring dialogue because the existential significance of breastfeeding is given more space. ExBreastS also makes new perspectives of the breastfeeding story visible for both woman and carer. However, if the instrument itself receives too much of the nurse’s focus, there is a risk that the caring dialogue will be overshadowed. Conclusions: ExBreastS supports caring dialogues based on the breastfeeding story through its focus on the existential aspects of breastfeeding. However, this requires time, support from the organization and an awareness that caring dialogues can have no manual.

Midwives' lived experience of caring for new mothers with initial breastfeeding difficulties: A phenomenological study

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: The aim of this study is to obtain a deeper understanding of midwives’ lived experiences of caring for new mothers with initial breastfeeding difficulties.Methods: A reflective lifeworld approach was used. Six midwives were recruited from a hospital in western Sweden. Data were collected via individual lifeworld interviews and analysed using phenomenological methods.Results: The essential meaning can be described as a midwife’s wish to help new mothers reach their breastfeeding goals by trying to interact with them as individual women in unique breastfeeding situations. This wish constitutes a contradiction to the midwife’s own desire to succeed in enabling mothers to breastfeed and the perceived risk of failure as a midwife if the mothers decide not to breastfeed. This is further described by five constituents: striving to provide individualised care, collegial and personal responsibility both enables and prevents care, a struggle to be sufficient, an uphill struggle and mutual joy becomes the motivation to care.Conclusions: Caring for new mothers with initial breastfeeding difficulties is a balancing act between the midwife’s personal desire to succeed in enabling mothers to breastfeed, the mothers’ wishes, the infants’ needs, the importance of collective collegial competence and the limitations in the health care organisation. This makes the midwife’s efforts to provide individualised care frustrating and demanding as well as motivating.
