Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I Sverige liksom i många andra länder har barns övervikt och fetma ökat. Ett sätt att motverka denna problematik är stöd riktat till föräldrar. Föräldrar anses ha en central betydelse för barns matvanor och fysiska aktivitet och stöd och råd till föräldrar poängterar gränssättning, uppmuntran och att föräldern ska fungera som en förebild för barnet. Genom intervjuer med föräldrar till barn med övervikt/fetma visar denna artikel hur föräldrar hanterar råd och anvisningar i sitt dagliga liv. Det visar sig att föräldrarna står inför ett komplext dilemma som innebär att de beaktar såväl fysisk som psykisk hälsa samt den vardagliga förhandlingen mellan föräldrar och barn. Sett ur ett omsorgsetiskt perspektiv utmanas idén om en rationell förälder som handlar i enlighet med kunskaper om vad som är en hälsosam livsstil. Föräldraskap innebär mycket mer än att kontrollera barnets vikt och sätta gränser.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In contemporary society the wellbeing and health for children are of great concern. Alarming reports are frequent in media about increasing ill-health in children. In social science research peoples experiences of illness are at the same time a growing research field, but childrens experiences of illness are investigated to a lesser extent. This study aims to explore childrens experience of living with allergic disease, an ill-health which is common in Sweden. To explore childrens understandings and experiences of allergic disease the choice was made to carry out a qualitative interview study, which would allow for a more close analysis. Interviews were conducted in the home of six twelve-year-old children suffering from varied allergic difficulties. Two specific questions are outlined in this article; childrens understandings of what they experience as allergic symptoms and what they gain knowledge of from medical test, and what children stress as significant consequences for their daily life. The results show how the children accept the somewhat confusing discrepancy between their bodily experience and what they are tested for. The most apparent consequences for their daily life were what they had to avoid and endure, in terms of avoidance for specific food or animals and in terms of risk for social exposure because of deviant bodily appearance and behaviour.

- Migrant mothers' kin work is an important and growing research field. This article takes migrant women's experiences of bringing up their children as a departure point to describe the strategies utilised by mothers to care for their children. With findings drawn from eight interviews with migrant mothers in Sweden whose children are now teenagers, the analysis focuses on the mothers' supporting strategies in caring for their children in present and future lives. Identified supporting measures involving kin work included being attentive to their children's schooling, taking care of their families and giving their children time and intimacy. An additional theme concerning mothers' own 'life projects' and the 'sacrifice' of their own education and opportunities is discussed.

Construction of continuity in relationships when someone close is transsexual

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The categorization of people into men and women are a predominant idea in contemporary society. When gender identities are radically changed, as sex change due to Transsexuality, close relationships might be changed and revisited. The over-all aim of this study is to explore how parents, partners, brothers and sisters and children of transsexual persons make sense of the relationship. Based on interviews with 15 close relatives to transsexuals living in the Stockholm area, the analysis reveals how the change of sex was regarded as a catastrophe, a breakthrough development, or both. The close relatives relate to the 'new' gender identity in line with the previous particular relationship, as partner, child etc. and because of cultural images of kinship, gender and health. The relatives either describe the sex change as central for the relationships or that the sex is unimportant. A common denominator identified is the relatives' construction of continuity in describing the past and present gender. Continuity is created in different ways; as recognizable physical signs, familiar behavior, own persistence feelings and as accounts of authenticity; both in their own and in the transsexuals identity. This authenticity is framed in ideas of a 'true self' and individuality. Different strategies were identified to be used in the process of constructing continuity. These findings are discussed as continuity in time and between inside and outside. Relatives alter these constructions to maintain a close relationship.

Displaying parental responsibility for childhood obesity : aspects of care and family relationships
- 2015

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Childhood obesity is a much-debated health issue in Sweden as well as worldwide. Considerable emphasis is given to the prevention of excessive weight gain and obesity in early childhood, for example by providing lifestyle advice to parents. Based on interviews with Swedish parents of obese children aged between eight and 12, in this article parent narratives of everyday practices in relation to children’s diet and exercise habits are analysed as acts of ‘displaying normality’. The results show that explanations as to why it is difficult to manage the child’s weight appear to be connected to avoiding the risk of the child receiving negative attention and issues relating to the child’s own responsibility. These findings are discussed in terms of ‘displaying family normality’.

Föräldraskapande och barnets hälsa : Föreställningar och berättande om barn med eksem

Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In contemporary ‘risk-society’, people are continuously confronted with issues of risk in health information and discourses about life-styles that will promote good health, and, it is argued, are ‘forced’ to be aware of risks in their everyday lives. This is particularly evident for parents of young children who are struck by illness. They will on the one hand be subject to dominant discourses on child health, and on the other hand make observations of their own child in the context of family life. The over-all aim of this thesis is to explore how parents make sense of the situation they find themselves in when their child is struck by illness. Here, eczema is chosen as an example, an illness which is increasingly common among children in Western countries. An interview-study of parents of 32 six or seven year old children, who suffer from eczema, was conducted in the Stockholm area. The purpose of the interviews was to identify parental ideas about child eczema, how they understood the genesis, remedies and future development of the condition as well as the children’s own experiences of having eczema, and also the parents’ understandings of how they themselves could have an influence on the child’s situation and finally, the parents’ ways of positioning themselves in relation to dominant discourses on child health, in particular eczema. The analysis of the parents’ narratives reveals how the parents account for their detailed observations of the child’s eczema, and how they draw on their understandings of the child body as well as shared knowledge about eczema as they try to make sense of the child’s condition. In their narratives, the parents use normalizing strategies as well as strategies to confirm or counter dominant discourses. The parent’s ways of positioning themselves as responsible are discussed in relation to cultural images of the Child and Good Parenting. It is argued that the notion of ‘doing parenthood’ can be one avenue to a better understanding of how parents make sense of their experiences.

Om föräldrastöd och föräldraansvar kring barns fetma och övervikt

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- I Sverige liksom i många andra länder har barns övervikt och fetma ökat. Föräldrar anses ha en central betydelse för barns matvanor och fysiska aktivitet och föräldrar till barn med fetma utpekas, både i media och i medicinsk litteratur som ansvariga för barns övervikt och att deras livsstil är avgörande. Stöd och råd till föräldrar poängterar gränssättning, uppmuntran och att föräldern ska fungera som en förebild för barnet. Matvanor och vardaglig livsstil är på många sätt en privat och familjär angelägenhet och synen på föräldrar och barns hantering av barns övervikt och fetma är alltför ensidig. I detta paper undersöks hur föräldrar och hur föräldrar och barn förhåller sig till de rekommendationer som ges. Genom intervjuer med föräldrar till barn mellan 8-12 år diagnostiserade med övervikt/fetma visas hur föräldrar hanterar råd och anvisningar i sitt dagliga liv. Det visar sig att föräldrarna står inför ett komplext dilemma som innebär att de beaktar såväl fysisk som psykisk hälsa samt relationer i vardagliga förhandlingar mellan föräldrar och barn. Sett ur ett relationellt perspektiv utmanas idén om en rationell förälder som handlar i enlighet med kunskaper om vad som är en hälsosam livsstil och synen på barnet som passiv mottagare. Föräldraskap innebär således mycket mer än att kontrollera barnets vikt och sätta gränser.
