- This study aimed to explore school nurses’ experience of using physical activity on prescription with children in Swedish compulsory school. Semistructured interviews were conducted with 24 school nurses who had the educational qualification to prescribe physical activity. The analysis resulted in one overarching theme, “A delicate process of tailoring physical activity on prescription to a child's social context,” and two categories: “Promoting joyful physical activity through individualization and support” and “Dealing with dilemmas and challenges,” with related subcategories. The results demonstrate the importance of tailoring prescribed physical activity to each individual child, their living conditions, and the school context. In addition, they highlight the nurses’ working conditions and collaborations as important prerequisites when initiating physical activity on prescription. In conclusion, the results suggest that school nurses perceive physical activity on prescription as a useful tool in the school context, but it needs to be tailored to each individual child.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- There is limited knowledge about PhD students’ backgrounds and how these backgrounds affect their research, particularly in sport sciences. Therefore, this study aims to contribute with knowledge about the backgrounds of sport sciences PhD students by investigating whether their backgrounds affect both becoming PhD students and how they conduct their research. Importantly, the study descriptively presents PhD students’ stories about their backgrounds and explores whether there are general themes in these stories. Guided by an auto-monographic approach, we asked PhD students at the Department of Sport sciences at Malmö University to “describe whether my background influenced me to become a doctoral student in sport sciences and whether my background affects my research.” Although the PhD students’ narratives include many perspectives and experiences, they also raise questions about the diversity of the group—they reveal a lack of cultural and socioeconomic diversity in the group. As a result, this article raises questions about whether “enough” is being done, by Malmö University and Department of Sport Sciences, to attract PhD students with different backgrounds.
