Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- This study aimed to describe inpatients with myocardial infarction and their participation in care as documented in the nursing records when standardized care plans are used in care. The use of standardized care plans not only has increased the quality of medical treatment but has also overlooked patients' opportunities to participate in their own care. There is a lack of knowledge about how standardized care plans influence patients' participation in nursing care. Data were collected from thirteen patients' records with diagnoses of myocardial infarction. Participation in the decision-making process and participation associated with “sharing with others” were searched for in the analysis. The analytical process was guided by content analysis. The findings were grouped into two categories: patients' intermediary participation and patients' active participation. The main results indicated that patients' intermediary participation depended on healthcare professionals' power to rule the nursing care situation.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: A large part of the work a nurse conducts at a Primary Care Centre consists of counselling patients over the phone. The patients are sorted and prioritised on the basis of these conversations. Aim: The aim of this study is to describe how the patients experience the caring relationship with the nurse during phone counselling at a Primary Care Centre. Method: In-dept interviews were conducted with ten adult Swedish speaking persons who contacted a nurse at two Medical Care Centres, during a two week period. Results: The patients experienced that they received a good caring relationship with the nurses. This meant to be treated friendly, be taken seriously and to be able to have a dialog about their problems with the nurse. They wanted to feel unique, empowered and treated as individuals. They could sometimes feel disappointed when an unbalance occurred between the expectations of the patients and the advice they received. Nurses that were stressed influenced the caring relationship in a negative way. Conclusions: Overall the patients experienced a good caring relationship with the nurses, but the nurses were not always aware of how they where perceived.

Den mänskliga professionaliteten : En filosofisk undersökning av det autentiska mötets betydelse för patientens välbefinnande
- 2001
-
Doctoral thesis (other academic/artistic)abstract
- The following study is based on observations made in practical medical and nursing care. A practical medical and nursing care problem is introduced, in which an imbalance is shown between the expectations on medical and nursing staff expressed by the patient and the fact that the medical and nursing staff has not had the opportunity to develop the ability to notice and meet the expectations of the patient. In order to solve the above-mentioned complex, practical medical and nursing care problem, it is essential to analyse such terms as: ‘authentic encounter’, ‘health’, ‘emotion’ and ‘personhood’ in order, thereby, to define the necessary conditions for a patient-carer encounter in which the independence and dignity of the patient is respected and active participation in the patient’s own health status is facilitated. In order for the patient’s independence and dignity to be respected, the following conditions for the authentic encounter are discussed. One such fundamental condition for the authentic encounter is Martin Buber’s modified I-Thou relation, the characteristics of which are mutuality, acceptance and confirmation. The ability of medical and nursing staff to create such an encounter based on these characteristics is also emphasised in order to safeguard the dignity of the patient. In addition to the modified I -Thou relation, a number of other prerequisites are discussed, attention to which is essential when creating an authentic encounter. One such condition is the view of health held by the carer. A review of various perspectives on health shows that an individual oriented, social approach is applicable since the outlook on humankind characterising such an approach is that of seeing the patient as a freely acting being with abilities of his own. Another condition for the authentic encounter is the interactive attitude described by Martha Nussbaum, which stresses the importance of getting to know one’s own emotions by accepting them but also by trusting others. Finally, the concept of personhood is discussed in order to clarify a further condition for the authentic encounter, namely, that the carer show consideration for the patient as the person she or he actually is. Making this possible demands a non-static conception of personhood, the fundamental idea of which is that the encounter takes place on the basis of the patient’s abilities and resources.

A qualitative study on the role of patient–nurse communication in acute cardiac care
- 2011

In: Journal of Nursing Education and Practice. - : Sciedu Press. - 1925-4040 .- 1925-4059. ; 1:1, s. 17-24

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: This study aimed to illuminate the meaning of the patient–nurse communication during a hospital stay as narrated by patients after a myocardial infarction (MI). Methods: Narrative interviews from 10 patients were analyzed, using a phenomenological-hermeneutic method. Results: The nursing dialogue meant a safe mooring point on the trajectory from initial chaos after a MI to a reoriented life. Nurses’ presence and availability for non-verbal and verbal communication created a trustful relationship where new knowledge was acquired and motivational strength for life-style changes was mobilized. A person-centered perspective was preferred, where relatives were invited into the conversation. Conclusions: These results highlight that patient–nurse communication based on the patient’s view is possible in acute care after MI, and is an issue of attitude rather than time. Trust lays the foundation for a person-centered communication and is developed through the nurse’s presence and availability not only in the emergency phase, but throughout hospitalization. Discussions focused on personal action plans with emphasis on the patient’s health assets may facilitate a successful rehabilitation.

Validation and Test-Retest Reliability of a Health Measure, Health as Ability of Acting, Based on the Welfare Theory of Health
- 2012

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The aim of this study was to conduct a validation and assess the test–retest reliability of the health questionnaire based on Nordenfelt’s Welfare Theory of Health (WTH). The study used a questionnaire on health together with the Short Form 12-Item Health Survey (SF-12) questionnaire, and 490 pupils at colleges for adult education participated. The results of the study are in accordance with Nordenfelt’s WTH. Three hypotheses were stated, and the first was confirmed: People who were satisfied with life rated higher levels than those who were dissatisfied with life concerning both mental and physical health, measured with the SF-12. The second hypothesis was partially confirmed: People with high education were more often satisfied with life than those with low education, but they were not healthier. The third hypothesis, that women are unhealthy more often than men, was not confirmed. The questionnaire on health showed acceptable stability.
