- BACKGROUND: Parental feelings of guilt can be a serious problem after the death of a child to a malignancy. This study identified predictors of feelings of guilt in parents during the year after a child's death. METHODS: The Swedish Cause of Death Register and Swedish Cancer Register were used to identify all parents in Sweden who had a child who died of a malignancy between 1992-1997. RESULTS: Among parents not reporting recent depression, those who were not confident that their child would immediately receive help from the staff in the hospital while he or she was sick with a malignancy (compared to those who felt partly or entirely sure, relative risk [RR] 4.0; 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.1-7.6), were at increased risk for reporting daily or weekly feelings of guilt in the year after the child's death. Parents who perceived that the staff in the pediatric cancer ward were incompetent were at increased risk (compared to parents reporting partial or total competence, RR 3.7; 95% CI 1.6-8.6). Compared to parents reporting that their children had moderate or much access, those who felt their children had little or no access to pain relief, dietary advice, anxiety relief, and relief of other psychological symptoms beside anxiety were at more than two times greater risk for reporting feelings of guilt. CONCLUSIONS: Bereaved parents' perceptions of inadequate health care were associated with subsequent feelings of guilt during the year following their child's death due to a malignancy.

Medication use in populations exposed to the 2010 Eyjafjallajökull eruption: an interrupted time series analysis
- 2022

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- OBJECTIVES: To assess the trends in medication use indicative of physical and psychological morbidity following the 2010 volcanic eruption in Eyjafjallajökull immediately after and during a 3-year period following the eruption. DESIGN: Population-based register study. SETTING: Eyjafjallajökull eruption in Iceland, 2007-2013. PARTICIPANTS: All residents in Iceland who received at least one medication dispensing were identified. Residents of exposed areas were classified into exposure groups (individual-level data) and residents in other parts of Iceland were included as a non-exposed group (aggregated data). INTERVENTION/EXPOSURE: Eyjafjallajökull erupted on 14 April 2010 and continued for 39 days, producing heavy ash fall in South Iceland. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Using interrupted time series analysis, we examined annual and quarterly changes in medicine use, measured as number of dispensed defined daily dose (DDD) per 1000 individuals. We calculated the level shift (immediate change) and change in slope from pre-eruption to post-eruption (long-term change) in medication dispensing. RESULTS: Among exposed residents, there was a 6% decrease (95%CI -7% to -4%) in the annual number of dispensed DDDs 1-year post-eruption in the overall medication class, including analgesics (-5%, 95%CI -6% to -3%), hypnotics and sedatives (-9%, 95%CI -11% to -7%) and respiratory medications (-7%, 95%CI -9% to -5%; -8%, 95%CI -11% to -4%). Simultaneously, there was a 9% decrease (95%CI -14% to -4%) in the overall medication class among non-exposed residents. Moreover, among exposed residents, we observed change in slope of -4% (95%CI -7% to -1%) in the overall medication class, including for analgesics (-6%, 95%CI -8% to -3%) and other respiratory drugs (-10%, 95%CI -16% to -4%). CONCLUSION: Our findings indicate that the eruption did not lead to increases in medication dispensing among residents of exposed areas, rather decreases for some medicine classes. The results should be interpreted with caution since the content of each eruption differs.

- Aims: Following the 2004 Southeast Asian tsunami, Swedish authorities received public criticism for slow implementation of rescue work. Meanwhile, data are scarce on survivors’ perspectives and potential mental health symptoms associated with timing of evacuation. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate survivors’ contentment with evacuation time and whether duration at disaster site following the 2004 tsunami was associated with post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and psychological morbidity. Methods: Of 10,116 Swedish tsunami survivors who returned to Sweden in the first 3 weeks post tsunami, 4910 (49%) answered a questionnaire 14 months later including questions on evacuation time, contentment with evacuation time and PTSS (Impact of Event Scale). We used logistic regression to calculate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) of PTSS by timing of evacuation adjusting for gender, age, education, various indicators of trauma exposure and pre-tsunami psychiatric diagnoses. Results: More than half of the survivors (53%) were content with evacuation time while 33% wanted later evacuation and 13% earlier evacuation. Compared with those evacuated 14–21 days post tsunami, individuals evacuated at day 1–4 presented with increased odds of PTSS (crude OR 3.0, 95% CI 2.0–4.5; and multivariable adjusted OR 2.0, 95% CI 1.3–3.0) and impaired mental health (crude OR 1.7, 95% CI 1.2–2.4; and multivariable adjusted OR 1.4 95% CI 1.0–2.0). Conclusions: One-third of Swedish tsunami survivors preferred a later evacuation from disaster sites. These findings call for further studies, with prospective designs, to disentangle the causal direction of the association between evacuation time and PTSS.

Towards better measurements in bereavement research: order of questions and assessed psychological morbidity
- 2006

- The aim of this study was to determine if the order of questions in a study on men who have lost a wife in cancer affects self-assessed measures of psychological morbidity. Data were collected from 76 men who had lost a wife owing to cancer in the breast, ovary or colon in 1999. They were randomly allocated to one of two questionnaires with identical content but varying design. One version began with questions about the wife's disease and ended with the respondent's current wellbeing (morbidity-last group). The other version had a reversed order (morbidity-first group). Results showed that the design of the questionnaire affected self-assessed psychological morbidity; all relative risks for these measures were above 1.0 in the morbidity-last group. The highest relative risk was obtained for anxiety (as measured by HADS), 3.4 (0.8-15.0), and depression (as measured by a visual-digital scale), 3.1 (1.2-8.5). Psychological morbidity is assessed as higher when questions appear in the end, rather than the beginning, of a bereavement-related questionnaire. In order to avoid a detrimental bias in a study on bereavement, psychological morbidity is probably best measured first in such a questionnaire.
