- The present article discusses how 12 children (five to eight years) in planned lesbian familiestalk about families, parents and specifically ‘daddies’ as such and not having a father themselves.Findings from child interviews demonstrate that the children described daddies as ‘the same’ asmummies, i.e. as having the same functions. This contrasts with previous research showing howchildren of heterosexuals often describe mothers and fathers as different. The children varied interms of how they labelled donors. Some children adopted the denomination ‘daddy’, drawing ona paternity discourse, while others simply referred to him as ‘a man’.

Knowledge gain and usage of knowledge learned during internet-based CBT treatment for adolescent depression : a qualitative study
- 2020
-
Ingår i: BMC Psychiatry. - : BioMed Central. - 1471-244X. ; 20:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BackgroundThe role of explicit learning of treatment content in internet-based cognitive-behavioural treatment (ICBT) is an emerging field of research. The objective of this study was to explore clients experiences of their ICBT treatment for depression with a focus on knowledge gain and usage of knowledge learned during treatment.MethodsA strategic sample of ten adolescents, aged between 15 and 19 years, who had received ICBT for major depression within a clinical controlled trial were recruited for the study. Semi-structured interviews were conducted 6 months following trial completion. Data were transcribed and analysed using thematic analysis. The participants had a general adherence rate of 6–8 opened modules out of 8 possible.ResultsTwo main themes were identified; “Active agents of CBT” and “Passive agents of CBT”, with each theme consisting of three and two sub-themes. Active agents of CBT reflect a tendency to specifically remember and actively apply specific CBT principles in present life situations. Passive agents of CBT reflect a tendency to remember CBT treatment principles vaguely and express a passive or reactive usage of learned therapy content.ConclusionThe findings suggest that young clients can remember and apply CBT principles 6 months after their treatment. However, while experiencing benefits of treatment, clients recall and application of treatment strategies vary. The study emphasizes the importance of exploring client recall of CBT components and how valuable it is to explicitly remember contents of a treatment in order to improve and maintain improvement. Further studies on the role of knowledge and memory of ICBT for adolescent populations are warranted.

Need for improvements in physical pretreatment of source-separated household food waste.
- 2013

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the present study was to investigate the efficiency in physical pretreatment processes of source-separated solid organic household waste. The investigation of seventeen Swedish full-scale pretreatment facilities, currently receiving separately collected food waste from household for subsequent anaerobic digestion, shows that problems with the quality of produced biomass and high maintenance costs are common. Four full-scale physical pretreatment plants, three using screwpress technology and one using dispergation technology, were compared in relation to resource efficiency, losses of nitrogen and potential methane production from biodegradable matter as well as the ratio of unwanted materials in produced biomass intended for wet anaerobic digestion. Refuse generated in the processes represent 13-39% of TS in incoming wet waste. The methane yield from these fractions corresponds to 14-36Nm(3)/ton separately collected solid organic household waste. Also, 13-32% of N-tot in incoming food waste is found in refuse. Losses of both biodegradable material and nutrients were larger in the three facilities using screwpress technology compared to the facility using dispersion technology.(1) Thus, there are large potentials for increase of both the methane yield and nutrient recovery from separately collected solid organic household waste through increased efficiency in facilities for physical pretreatment. Improved pretreatment processes could thereby increase the overall environmental benefits from anaerobic digestion as a treatment alternative for solid organic household waste.

Minority Stress, Self-Awareness, and Coping Strategies during the COVID-19 Pandemic among Italian Transgender Young Adults
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Healthcare. - : MDPI. - 2227-9032. ; 12:2
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: The security measures implemented in response to the COVID-19 emergency have caused complex consequences. The aim of the present study is to examine the repercussions of the pandemic on individuals belonging to gender identity minority groups, who have experienced heightened levels of stress in comparison to the general population. Methods: Online interviews with 12 transgender participants who resided in Italy during the pandemic were conducted and subsequently analyzed following the thematic analysis methodology. Results: The majority of the participants reported an increase in stress levels primarily attributed to the lack of acceptance and support within their familial environments, obstacles encountered in accessing specialized healthcare services, and a lack of support from the broader LGBTQ+ community. Despite these challenges, several participants developed effective coping strategies and a subset of them also benefited from multiple resilience factors, including familial support and assistance from mental health professionals. Conclusions: The outcomes of the present study indicate that the COVID-19 pandemic, while fostering certain protective factors within this population, has also given rise to new and critical mental health concerns. These findings hold significant implications for professionals working with transgender populations, highlighting the necessity of addressing these emerging mental health issues.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Family acceptance or rejection has mediating effects on the mental health of LGBTQ + young adults. Restrictive measures imposed during the COVID-19 pandemic forced many of these individuals to exclusively interface with their family of origin, with significant consequences on their psychological well-being. This study aims to explore, from a qualitative perspective, the subjective experience of Italian LGBTQ + young adults during the COVID-19-related home isolation. An online semi-structured interview with 13 questions was administered to a sample of 25 participants. Inclusion criteria consisted of being aged 18 years or older and having spent at least one of the three pandemic waves with the family of origin in Italy. The interviews have been processed using the Thematic Analysis methodology. The findings of the present work showed that Italian LGBTQ + young adults perceived increased distress due to a lack of privacy and acceptance from their family members, which led to forced coming-out and repression of free expression. However, some participants perceived greater psychological well-being because they experienced the family environment as safe and supportive to explore their minority identities. The presence of coping strategies also emerged, such as resilience and avoidance.

Psychometric Exploration of the Swedish Translation of the Sexual Orientation Microaggressions Scale (SOMS), and a Commentary on the Validity of the Construct of Microaggressions
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of the present study was to assess the psychometric properties of a Swedish translation of the Sexual Orientation Microaggressions Scale (SOMS) in a convenience sample of 267 Swedish LGB+ people (Mean age = 36.41). Testing suggested some strengths in terms of factor structure and 2-week test-retest reliability (ICC > .79). Also, internal consistency (α = .80–.91) and convergent validity were supported for most subscales. However, the Assumption of Deviance subscale was associated with low response variability and internal consistency (α = .35), and the correlational pattern between the Environmental Microaggressions subscale and mental health variables diverged from the overall trend. Furthermore, measurement invariance between homo- and bisexual participants was not supported for most subscales, and although microaggressions would be theoretically irrelevant to a small comparison sample of heterosexual people (N = 76, Mean age = 40.43), metric invariance of the Environmental Microaggressions subscale was supported in comparison to LGB+ people. We argue that these limitations suggest a restricted applicability of the SOMS in a Swedish context, and this has consequences for the definition and operationalization of the construct of microaggressions as a whole. Therefore, more research on the latent properties of microaggressions in Swedish as well as in other contexts is required.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: Several studies have shown that the quality of the working alliance predicts symptomatic improvement sessionby-session, including in cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT). We wanted to explore what characterizes CBT sessions with high and low alliances further using qualitative analysis. Method: Ten CBT-sessions were selected from eight patients' therapies in a larger research project on psychotherapy for patients with major depression. Five sessions were chosen from high- and five from low-alliance sessions, based on therapist- and patient-reported Working Alliance Inventory scores. Transcripts of these sessions were analyzed using thematic analysis. Results: The analysis yielded four themes, each structured into two sub-themes: Therapist style, Person in focus, Content focus, and Therapeutic direction. In contrast to low-alliance sessions, high-alliance sessions were characterized by a more exploring as opposed to expert therapist style; a focus on the patient's thoughts, feelings, and behavior, rather than a diffuse focus or a focus on other people's actions/external events; and a sense of moving forward rather than stagnation. Conclusion: Our qualitative analysis showed theoretically and clinically meaningful processes in CBT sessions of high- vs low working alliance. This method is a useful complement to quantitative within-patient analyses, to expand on the meaning of quantitative findings.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction This study analyses the division of parental leave and the income development in gay father families through surrogacy in Sweden, seen as one of the most family-friendly and egalitarian countries in the world.Methods Based on longitudinal population register data, descriptive and bivariate regression models are estimated to analyse the parental leave uptake and income development of married partners becoming (first-time) parents in 2006–2015 (in total 53 couples). Retrospective in-depth interviews with 23 gay men in 12 couples, conducted in 2010 and 2018 are analysed thematically to study how fathers discussed and decided how to divide the leave.Results The process of establishing legal parenthood delays the fathers’ access to reimbursed parental leave. Despite this, the fathers’ earnings were not considerably affected by the addition of a child to the family. Once the fathers had access to reimbursed leave, they generally shared this equally, with a tendency for the genetic father to take leave first and for a slightly longer period.Conclusions The fathers becoming parents via surrogacy arrangements are a well-off group, able to counter the negative financial consequences of becoming parents. Swedish family policies enable parents to share the leave equally. Less impacted by gender and parenthood norms creating difference between parents, gay father families are in a better position to realise ideals of shared care and sameness.Policy Implications The delayed access to reimbursed parental leave structures the ability of gay couples to become parents and contributes to class inequalities in the transition to parenthood.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background/aimsGiving birth is a life-changing experience for women. Most previous studies have focused on risk factors for a negative childbirth experience. The primary aim of this study was to assess childbirth experience in a sample of postnatal Swedish women. The secondary aim was to analyse demographic and clinical determinants associated with a positive birth experience.Design/MethodsA digital survey including the instrument Childbirth Experience Questionnaire 2 (CEQ2) was answered by 619 women six to 16 weeks postpartum. Regression analyses were made assessing the impact that different factors had on the overall childbirth experience and the four subscales of CEQ2: Own Capacity, Perceived Safety, Professional Support and Participation.ResultsOverall, women were satisified with their birthing experience. Several factors contributed to a positive childbirth experience. Having a vaginal mode of birth (without vacuum extraction) together with not having ongoing mental health problems were the factors with the most influence on the total childbirth experience. Not having maternal complications postpartum and receiving much support from a trusted birth companion were two other important factors.ConclusionAlthough Swedish women tend to express satisfaction with their childbirth experiences, there is a necessity to advocate for a childbirth approach that optimises the chance of giving birth vaginally rather than with vacuum extraction or acute caesarean section, and reduces the risk for complications whenever possible. During pregnancy, mental health problems should be appropriately addressed. Healthcare professionals could also more actively involve the birth companion in the birthing process and equip them with the necessary tools to effectively support birthing women.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The primary aim of the study was to analyze differences in post-traumatic stress symptoms (PTSS) and quality of life (QoL) between women with and without severe fear of childbirth postpartum (PP FOC). The secondary aims were to analyze the correlation between PP FOC and PTSS, and PP FOC and QoL, in women undergoing complicated childbirth. This cross-sectional study was conducted in South-East Sweden. Women aged >= 18 years who had undergone complicated childbirth (i.e., acute or emergency cesarean section, vacuum extraction, child in need of neonatal care, manual placenta removal, sphincter rupture, shoulder dystocia, or hemorrhage >= 1000 ml) were invited. Seventy-six women answered demographic questions and three validated instruments measuring PP FOC, PTSS, and QoL. The study population was divided into two sub groups: severe PP FOC or no severe PP FOC. Statistical analyses were conducted using Mann-Whitney U-test, chi-square test or Fishers exact test, and Spearmans rank-order correlation. Severe PP FOC was reported by 29% of the women, and 18% reported PTSS indicating post-traumatic stress disorder. Women with severe PP FOC reported significantly higher levels of PTSS, and significantly lower QoL in five dimensions: physical role functioning, emotional role functioning, energy/fatigue, emotional well-being, and social functioning. There was a positive significant correlation between level of PP FOC and PTSS. There were also significant negative correlations between level of PP FOC and most of the QoL dimensions. In conclusion, almost one-third of the women with complicated childbirth reported severe PP FOC, and almost one-fifth reported PTSS indicating post-traumatic stress disorder. PP FOC correlated with PTSS and deteriorated QoL.

- OBJECTIVE: To describe how women with severe fear of childbirth postpartum recall the professional support they received before, during, and after childbirth. STUDY DESIGN: This is a qualitative study based on telephone interviews with 10 women reporting fear of childbirth postpartum and who had given birth in 2018. They were interviewed using a semi-structured interview guide. The interviews were digitally recorded, transcribed verbatim, and analyzed using thematic analysis according to Braun and Clarke. RESULTS: The results showed that most women expressed satisfaction with the support they received from the healthcare professionals before, during, and after childbirth, and most of them could not identify any lacking support. The experiences were categorized into 3 themes: "validation and trust," "guidance," and "being in control." CONCLUSION: In summary, the womens reported fear of childbirth postpartum did not seem related to any perceived lack of professional support. The supposed association between fear of childbirth, negative childbirth experiences, and perceived support may need further illumination.

- The primary aim of this study was to determine the prevalence of previous trauma exposure among expectant birth-giving parents and their partners within a LBTQ population. The secondary aims were to compare fear of childbirth (FOC) and quality of life (QoL) in relation to previous trauma exposure in pregnant LBTQ people and their partners. A further aim was to analyze associations between severe FOC and clinical and demographic factors in this population. Data was collected from a Swedish LGBTQ competent antenatal clinic. Trauma-exposed pregnant (n = 32) and non-pregnant (n = 21) individuals and pregnant (n = 48) and non-pregnant (n = 30) individuals without previous trauma experiences responded to instruments measuring FOC (Wijma Delivery Expectancy Questionnaire) and QoL (EuroQol 5 D-index/-visual analogue scale, VAS). Differences between groups were assessed using non-parametric tests. The proportion of trauma exposure was similar among pregnant responders and their partners (40.0% vs. 41.2%). Trauma-exposed pregnant respondents had a significantly higher prevalence of severe FOC compared to the pregnant respondents without previous trauma. Pregnant trauma-exposed respondents scored lower on EQ5D-VAS than pregnant respondents without trauma, as did non-pregnant trauma exposed respondents compared with non-pregnant -respondents without trauma. Furthermore, trauma-exposed non-pregnant respondents scored lower on the EQ5D-index compared to non-pregnant respondents without trauma. Previous trauma was the only clinical and demographic factor that had any significant association withto severe FOC in the regression analysis. In conclusion, our results suggest that previous trauma exposure may contribute to the risk of suffering from severe FOC and lower QoL among LBTQ-identifying prospective parents.

Supporting womens reproductive capabilities in the context of childbirth : Empirical validation of a midwifery theory synthesis
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Midwifery. - : Elsevier Science Ltd. - 0266-6138 .- 1532-3099. ; 110
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: To conduct an empirical validation of the theoretical model of midwifery care suggested by Peters et al. (2020). Design: A qualitative deductive methodology was used to validate the theoretical model of aims and objectives of midwifery care. The existing model was validated for midwifery care before, during and after childbirth by interviewing women who had reported high satisfaction with childbirth and low fear of childbirth postpartum. Setting: Data were collected via interviews with women who had given birth from January to March 2018 at a middle-sized hospital in south-east Sweden. Participants: Swedish-speaking women aged > 18 years, were invited by midwives to participate at a postpartum maternal healthcare ward, and they received oral and written information. They filled in a demographic questionnaire, a grading of their birth experience on a 0-10 numeric rating scale (NRS) and the Wijma Delivery Experience Questionnaire Version B (W-DEQ B). We used >7 as the cut-off for high satisfaction with childbirth (NRS), and a sum score <= 60 for low fear of childbirth (W-DEQ B). Of 172 women, 28 were eligible, of whom 20 were interviewed 8-13 months postpartum. The interviews were analysed using qualitative content analysis with a directed approach. Findings: All of the models levels and their aspects were found in the interviews. All women had experienced a trusting relationship, including individual and woman-centred care, communication, choice and continuity, prompt attention and an empathic attitude. A majority described midwifery in terms of promoting security, and almost all had experienced aspects of personal control. The objective of midwifery care, described as the facilitation of womens reproductive capabilities, was described as being met by half of the women. The importance of pep talks and coaching was emphasized, and partner support could be added to the model. Key conclusions and implications for practice: Our findings indicate that the theoretical model proposed by Peters et al. (2020) is mainly applicable to midwifery care of women reporting high satisfaction with their birth experience and low postpartum fear of childbirth. Our findings suggest that this model may serve as a clarification of the unique objective of midwifery care, and could be used by midwives in daily clinical work and in midwifery education programs.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Optimizing womens childbirth experience is essential for development of quality mother infant relationships. The Birth Satisfaction Scale-Revised ( BSS-R ) can be used to measure birth satisfaction. Aim: The current investigation sought to translate and validate a Swedish version of the BSS-R. Method: Following translation, a comprehensive psychometric validation of the Swedish - BSS-R ( SW-BSS-R ) was carried out using a multi-model, cross-sectional, between- and within-subjects design. Participants: A total of 619 Swedish-speaking women participated, from which 591 completed SW-BSS-R and were eligible for analysis. Data analysis: Discriminant, convergent, divergent and predictive validity, internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and factor structure were evaluated. Results: The SW-BSS-R was found to have excellent psychometric properties and hence is a valid translation of the original UK(English)-BSS-R . Important insights into relationships between mode of birth, posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and postnatal depression (PND) were observed. Conclusions and implications for practice: The SW-BSS-R is a psychometrically valid translation of the original BSS-R and is suitable for use in a Swedish-speaking population of women. The study has also highlighted important dynamics between birth satisfaction and areas of significant clinical concern (i.e., mode of birth, PTSD and PND) in Sweden.

Fear of childbirth and mental health among lesbian, bisexual, transgender and queer people : a cross-sectional study
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Journal of Psychosomatic Obstetrics and Gynaecology. - : Taylor & Francis Ltd. - 0167-482X .- 1743-8942. ; 43:4, s. 526-531
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Most studies of fear of childbirth (FOC) are conducted on heterosexual cisgender pregnant populations of birth-giving parents. Among lesbian and bisexual women, as well as transgender and queer people (LBTQ), minority stress can add an extra layer to FOC. Gender binary and cisnormative assumptions leave it to the patient to educate and navigate healthcare providers, which can increase mental health problems. Objective: The aim of this study is to compare FOC and mental illness among expecting birth-giving parents and their partners in an LBTQ population. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional study recruited 80 self-identified pregnant LBTQ persons and their 54 non-pregnant partners at a LBTQ specialized antenatal clinic in a large Swedish city of over one million inhabitants. The survey included socio-demographic characteristics, sexual and gender orientation, obstetric history, previous mental health, previous trauma exposure and measures of FOC and mental health. Results: Levels of FOC were significantly higher for the pregnant participants (median W-DEQ 67.5) than for partners (median W-DEQ 60.0). The proportion of severe FOC was higher for pregnant participants (20.3%) than for partners (9.4%), although this difference was not statistically significant. Mental illness was significantly associated with FOC. Conclusion: The results add valuable information to our understanding of the specific needs of pregnant LBTQ people and their partners and may help us to develop healthcare in the future.

Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Heteronormen, cisnormen och mononormen – varför bör vi känna till dem? Hur kan behandlare skapa ett samtalsklimat där klienterna kan känna sig trygga? Vilken kunskap om hbtq+-personers livsvillkor behövs för ett professionellt bemötande? Och varför räcker inte bara empati?Den här boken tar ett omfattande grepp om frågor som rör homo, bi, trans, queer och en rad andra identitetskategorier som alla relaterar till sexualitet, relationsbildning, kön och könsuttryck – i boken samlade under akronymen hbtq+. Trots en positiv utveckling i samhället leder minoritetsstress fortfarande till ökad ohälsa hos hbtq+-personer, och kunskapsluckorna är stora inom samhälls- och vårdinstanser. Författarna sätter in dessa frågor i ett historiskt och teoretiskt ramverk och gör en grundläggande genomgång av aspekter som rör hälsa och ohälsa i relation till hbtq+.

Teknologiska innovationssystem inom energiområdet: En praktisk vägledning till identifiering av systemsvagheter som motiverar särskilda politiska åtaganden
- 2014
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Syftet med denna rapport är att illustrera hur ett praktiskt inriktat ramverk, tekno- logiska innovationssystem (TIS), kan användas av analytiker och beslutsfattare vid departement och myndigheter för att analysera strategiskt viktiga teknikområden ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????I rapporten analyseras fem TIS centrerade kring havsbaserad vindkraft, marin energi, ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? systemsvagheter som bromsar områdets vidare utveckling, vilka som kan åtgärdas av systemets aktörer och vilka som motiverar särskilda politiska åtaganden. Rapporten utgör därmed ett underlag för att formulera åtgärder för att åstadkomma ökad innova- tion, teknikspridning och industrialisering inom ovan nämnda teknikområden.Studien har även möjliggjort en jämförande analys av likheter och skillnader ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? mellan områdena – de är starka respektive svaga av olika orsaker. Detta visar att ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Samtidigt har områdena gemensamma drag. Systemets aktörer, där även politiska ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????- skapsnätverk. Men de har varit sämre på att skapa tidiga nischmarknader som ger utrymme för fortsatt lärande och kostnadsreduktion. Sådana nischer kan ibland skapas av marknadens aktörer, men ofta krävs politiska styrmedel. De behövs för att investeringar i kunskapsutveckling ska kunna nyttiggöras och för att en bred industriell utveckling inom nya områden skall göras möjlig i Sverige.Vidare presenteras lärdomar kring vad en aktiv teknikpolitik innebär. Två huvud- ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????- hällsbygget och därför bör vara ett politikområde bland många samt att den skarpa ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????- ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? olika faser av innovationssystemets utveckling.För att lyckas med en aktiv teknikpolitik behövs en hög grad av koordinering ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? teknikområden så att ”rätt” typ av åtgärder kan sättas in vid ”rätt” tidpunkt av ”rätt” aktör. TIS-ramverket lyfts här fram som en metod för att skapa ett sådant underlag. Slutligen presenteras en metod för projektbedömningar som syftar till att stötta handläggare i utvärderingar av projekt inom nya teknikområden.Rapporten i sin helhet riktar sig särskilt till beslutsfattare och handläggare vid myndigheter, departement och politiker, men även andra organisationer och indi- vider med intresse av att högt ställda klimatmål ska kunna nås samtidigt som en positiv näringslivsutveckling möjliggörs.

When complications arise during birth: LBTQ people?s experiences of care
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Midwifery. - : ELSEVIER SCI LTD. - 0266-6138 .- 1532-3099. ; 121
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: To explore the care experiences of lesbian, bisexual, transgender, and queer (LBTQ) people dur-ing births where complications have arisen.Design: Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with self-identified LBTQ people who had experienced obstetrical and/or neonatal complications.Setting: Interviews were conducted in Sweden. Participants: A total of 22 self-identified LBTQ people participated. 12 had experienced birth complications as the birth parent and ten as the non-birth parent.Findings: Most participants had felt invalidated as an LBTQ family. Separation of the family due to com-plications elevated the number of hetero/cisnormative assumptions, as new encounters with healthcare professionals increased. Dealing with normative assumptions was particularly difficult in stressful and vulnerable situations. A majority of the birth parents experienced disrespectful treatment from healthcare professionals that violated their bodily integrity. Most participants experienced lack of vital information and emotional support, and expressed that the LBTQ identity made it harder to ask for help.Conclusions: Disrespectful treatment and deficiencies in care contributed to negative experiences when complications arose during birth. Trusting care relationships are important to protect the birth experience in case of complications. Validation of the LBTQ identity and access to emotional support for both birth and non-birth parents are crucial for preventing negative birth experiences. Implications for practice: To reduce minority stress and create conditions for a trusting relationship, healthcare professionals should specifically validate the LBTQ identity, strive for continuity of carer and zero separation of the LBTQ family. Healthcare professionals should make extensive effort s to transfer LBTQ related information between wards.(c) 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Transgender people report significantly poorer mental health than cisgender people. In psychological research, these health disparities are explained by theories of minority stress and microaggressions, while other disciplines use theories on normativity, livability, affective work, world making and utopias. Such theories are seldom picked up by psychologists even though they could serve to help psychological research and practice improve mental health in transgender people.The aim of this interview study was twofold. Empirically, it was to explore how 29 transgender people in Sweden (aged 17-63 years), experience and cope with vulnerability to make life survivable/livable. Analytically, psychological theories of minority stress, microaggressions and coping were put in conversation with theories of livability and emotional labor. Queer phenomenology was used to orient our analysis of the empirical material, as well as orient us theoretically, to find new ways of understanding transgender people’s vulnerability psychologically.While participants’ negative experiences are interpreted as covered by theories on minority stress and microaggressions, these theories do not explain all nuances of the exposure. In addition, theories on coping do not fully capture the constantly ongoing work participants need to do to manage everyday situations. The analysis resulted in three themes. One theme describes the ontic work that participants do in response to existential challenges of not being recognized as a subject. Another theme visualizes the relational work that participants do to deal with subtle exposure in their everyday life, trying to relate to oneself and others simultaneously. The final theme shows that participants utilize reactive and agentic reflexivity to try to achieve minority peace and a livable life. We hope that this dialogue between psychology and gender studies can continue in a Swedish context to better serve transgender people’s livability.

Exploring reflexive methodology as a pluralist approach to enhance mixed methods research on coping and livability among LGBTQ people in Sweden
- 2024
-
Ingår i: Qualitative Research in Psychology. - : Routledge. - 1478-0887 .- 1478-0895.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The article explores the use of reflexive methodology to enhance mixed methods queer psychological research in Sweden, by analysing data from a qualitative research project on how LGBTQ people cope with minority stress from four epistemological perspectives. A descriptive, hermeneutically and phenomenologically inspired analysis showed that coping should be understood from temporal perspective, where ‘microcoping’ covers strategies used in specific here and now-situations, and ‘macrocoping’ addresses general strategies used over time. We suggest that this differentiation is explored in further research. The analysis then included a theoretically driven perspective using feminist theories and discursive perspectives. Three themes resulted describing different types of constant ongoing work, ‘existential’, ‘relational’ and ‘reflexive’, that participants utilized to carve out a livable existence in the world. We suggest that reflexive methodology can help produce results that can be useful in a local as well as an international context and in relation to different audiences.

A Crucial but Strenuous Process : Female Same-Sex Couples’ Reflections on Second-Parent Adoption
- 2015
-
Ingår i: Journal of GLBT Family Studies. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1550-428X .- 1550-4298. ; , s. 1-24
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- When a female same-sex couple has a child together through assisted reproduction, it is important that both partners be granted status as the child's legal parents. Second-parent adoption, where the non-birth mother adopts the child, is currently an option in several Western nations. The article presents findings from interviews with 96 Swedish mothers, all of whom have gone through second-parent adoptions in same-sex relations. The interviewees describe the adoption as crucial for their family. If the parents divorce or if one of them dies, it is deemed important to have legal parenthood established. A second-parent adoption process in Sweden can take several months to finish. In several interviews, the social workers assessing the family for the adoption are depicted as unprofessional and as asking irrelevant or intrusive questions. Others depict social workers as kind and competent. Other methods of granting legal parenthood to non-birth mothers are suggested for Swedish legislation.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Prospective parents in Sweden are offered antenatal education led by midwives. The composition of some classes is based on the family situation, and in Stockholm an LGBTQ-certified maternity clinic offers separate classes for LGBTQ parents. Women who attend separate antenatal classes for LGBTQ parents are generally highly satisfied with the programme. They emphasize that they feel comfortable with it, and that the discussed topics are relevant to them. On the contrary, women who attend regular antenatal education, in classes with different-sex couples, reflect on hetero-normativity in the education - midwives focus on stereotypic gender roles, and non-birth mothers’ situation is overlooked when the classes are divided into separate sub-groups for (pregnant) mothers and (non-pregnant) fathers.

Childless Bisexual and Gay Men's Expectations of Obstacles and Enabling Factors for Pursuing Parenthood
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Journal of GLBT Family Studies. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1550-428X .- 1550-4298. ; 17:4, s. 323-338
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article concerns childless bisexual and gay men's expectations of potential future fatherhood. Social context, biological prerequisites and legal restrictions have in previous research proven to be complicating factors in the process of starting a family. This article investigates the experience of 14 bisexual and gay men in Sweden who are contemplating parenthood. Semi-structured interviews were conducted. The interviews were analyzed using grounded theory methodology, resulting in a model that identified obstructing and enabling factors in realizing future parenthood. The path to parenthood was seen as a process containing both the decision to pursue parenthood and the belief that parenthood was a possibility. The process toward parthood was not linear, but a pendular movement, affected by obstructing factors and enabling factors. One of the main findings was the experience of invisibility in relation to involuntary childlessness amongst bisexual and gay men. Simultaneously, the possibility to break this invisibility, to become a parental role model for other bisexual and gay men, and to revise images of the nuclear family were strong motivating factors. The findings are discussed in relation to Swedish gay men and fathers' social situation.

Constructions of surrogates, egg donors, and mothers : Swedish gay fathers narratives

-
Ingår i: Feminism and Psychology. - : Sage Publications. - 0959-3535 .- 1461-7161. ; 30:4, s. 508-528
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The study explored in detail how Swedish gay fathers (through surrogacy) talked about the surrogate mother and the egg donor. Thirteen semi-structured interviews with 22 gay fathers were conducted and analysed using critical discursive analysis. The surrogates were primarily constructed as a close family member, but occasionally in terms of their instrumental function. They were often described as active and independent, but occasionally as vulnerable or exploited. The egg donors were in some interviews constructed as close family members, while others talked about them as distant acquaintances. Further, donors were constructed either as a significant individual (for the fathers), or as an instrumental provider of the oocyte. While some participants constructed the surrogate and/or donor as their childs mother(s), others were more reluctant or ambivalent about the mother construct. In conclusion, the participants engaged in rhetorical work that shed a positive light on surrogacy, and their own decisions were depicted as solid, ethical and genuine. The participants positive framing can be understood as the production of a counter discourse, in relation to an ongoing debate in Sweden, in which surrogacy is constructed as exploitation, dehumanization and prostitution.

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Norms regarding childhood and parenthood differ between social contexts. The present study focuses on Swedish middle-class parents of young children. Based on semi-structured interviews, the study aims to explore norms and ideals regarding children’s emotions and how parents should respond to them. Analysis is informed by discursive psychology, with a focus on ideological dilemmas. Most parents acknowledged an ideal where children are seen as entitled to their own emotions and having the full right to express them. Related to this, two different parenting ideals were identified. The first stipulates that parents should allow and validate the child’s emotional expressions. The second stipulates that parents should be in control of their own emotions, in order to enable children to express theirs. Both ideals were negotiated by the parents as they contradict other ideals and everyday realities.

Efforts to maintain a ’just great’ story : Lesbian parents’ talk about encounters with professionals in fertility clinics and maternal and child healthcare services
- 2014

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- After lesbian couples have decided to become parents, their family-making journeyentails a wide range of encounters with professionals in fertility clinics and/or in maternaland child healthcare services. The article presents the results of an analysis of 96lesbian mothers’ interview talk about such encounters. In their stories and accounts,the interviewees draw on two separate and contradictory interpretative repertoires,the ‘just great’ repertoire and the ‘heteronormative issues’ repertoire. Throughout theinterviews, the ‘just great’ repertoire strongly predominates, while the ‘heteronormativeissues’ repertoire is rhetorically minimized. The recurrent accounts of health servicesas ‘just great’, and the mitigation of problems, are meaningful in relation to abroader discursive context. In a society where different-sex parents are the norm,the credibility of other kinds of parenthood is at stake. The ‘just great’ repertoire hasa normalizing function for lesbian mothers, while the ‘heteronormative issues’ repertoireresists normative demands for adaptation.

Elderly Peoples Perceptions of Heat Stress and Adaptation to Heat : An Interview Study
- 2022
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. - : MDPI. - 1661-7827 .- 1660-4601. ; 19:7
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objectives: Heatwaves are having a disproportionate impact on the elderly population, as demonstrated by pronounced mortality and morbidity. The present study aimed to explore elders subjective experiences of heat impacts and adaptive strategies. Methods: Semi-structured interviews with 19 elderly Swedes were conducted, focusing on their experiences of the extremely hot summer of 2018. Results: Most informants suffered during the heatwave, although some found it pleasant. The readiness to implement adaptive measures was generally high among the healthiest, who were able to avoid excessive heat and adjust their daily routines. In contrast, those highly dependent on care from others had limited options for avoiding the heat, and little capacity to take up adaptive measures. Discussion: With heat becoming an increasing problem, it is important to adjust elderly care so that the most vulnerable elderly people can avoid excessive heat exposure.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Kärnfamiljen är fortfarande den vanligaste samlevnadsformen i vårt land men samhällstrenden visar på en allt större variation i samlevnadsmönster. Familjer bryter upp och nya par flyttar samman. Med barnen som länkar bildas nätverk av relationer. Den senmoderna familjen utgör en nätverksfamilj. Med nätverket som metafor upplöses familjen som en sluten social enhet.I stället ställs relationerna och det vardagliga familjelivet i fokus.Invanda levnadsmönster, traditionella roller och könsidentiteter utmanas och ifrågasätts. Uppbrotten kan även splittra familjer mellan länder och världsdelar. Vad är en familj? Vilka familjekonstellationer är tänkbara? Hur påverkar de nya strukturerna barns och föräldrars roller? Denna bok skildrar samtidens mångfald i samlevnadsformer, t ex den traditionella kärnfamiljen, nya familjebildningar med styvföräldrar och egna samt gemensamma barn, ensam mor-familjen, heltids-eller deltidspappan, den homosexuella familjen och den inflyttade familjen från en annan kultur.I bokens andra del fördjupas resonemangen kring det nya fader- och moderskapet, fosterfamiljen, den utsatta familjen, våld i familjen och problematik kring barnlöshet. Boken vill beskriva och analysera hur män och kvinnor i nya familjemönster praktiskt utformar föräldraskap, parförhållande liksom ansvar för och omsorg om familjen. Familjen skapas genom sina vardagshandlingar. Boken riktar sig till studerande i socialt arbete, sociologi och andra samhällsvetenskapliga ämnen på universitet och högskola men också till yrkesverksamma inom socialt arbete, vård och inom andra sektorer av det samhällspolitiska området. Margareta Bäck-Wiklund (red) är professor i socialt arbete med inriktning på familjepolitik och modernt föräldraskap vid institutionen för socialt arbete, Göteborgs universitet.

The composition of some classes is based on the family situation, and some LGBTQ prospective parents are offered separate classes. People who attend such separate classes are generally highly satisfied with the programme. They emphasize that they feel comfortable and find the discussed topics relevant to them. On the contrary, LGBTQ people who attend regular antenatal education reflect on hetero- and cis-normativity in the education, where midwives focus on stereotypic gender roles. In particular, non-pregnant mothers and pregnant transmasculine people feel excluded. Using Sweden as a case study, this chapter explores the heteronormative obstacles in regular antenatal education and the benefits of LGBTQ-certified options.

How could equal parental leaves be promoted in Europe? : lessons from Swedish lesbian families

Bokkapitel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Although most European countries offer paid parental leave to both mothers and fathers, mothers continue to take the lion’s share. Previous studies have analysed patterns of parental leaves in heterosexual couples, in order to understand the gendered skewness and its effects on the lives of women and men. This chapter adds new perspectives on parental leave as it focuses on lesbian parents. Swedish lesbian parents generally share parental leave more equally than heterosexual couples, and they highlight the benefits of an equal relationship and close parent-child bonds. Both parents’ parental leave is depicted by the interviewees as desired; however, only the birth mother’s leave is depicted as necessary. Therefore, the non-birth mother’s leave is often shortened to meet practical circumstances, while the birth mother’s leave is not. The chapter concludes that access to a long parental leave promotes equal sharing among couples where both parents desire parental leave, while the issue is far more complex in cases where one parent does not.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- ObjectiveTo explore and describe norms concerning maternity, femininity and cisgender in lesbian and bisexual women and transgender people (LBT) assigned female at birth, with an expressed fear of childbirth (FOC).DesignSemi-structured interviews were conducted with self-identified LBT people with an expressed FOC.Participants17 self-identified LBT people participated. 15 had an expressed FOC, and two were non-afraid partners.FindingsParticipants described how their FOC was related to ideals of “the primal woman”, including ideals of a natural birth. They also described stress in relation to expectations of gaining a feminine-coded body during pregnancy and of being related to as feminine women.Key conclusionsMaternity ideals, and the ideal of the “natural” birth, can be particularly stressful on those who fear childbirth. Norms concerning femininity and cisgender can contribute to FOC among those who do not comfortably conform with feminine body ideals or feminine gender expressions.Implication for practiceTreatments of FOC must be designed to acknowledge whether and how norms concerning maternity, femininity and cisgender affect the individual's FOC.

Jag drabbas - det här får kommunen lösa : En intervjustudie med svenska villaägare som påverkats av översvämningar från skyfall

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Klimatförändringar leder till ökade och nya risker i samhällen. Översvämningar från skyfall är en sådan risk som redan genererar stora skador, vilka förväntas öka markant i framtiden. Inte minst riskerar många villaägare att drabbas av översvämningar och de har också tillskrivits en central roll i Sveriges klimatanpassningsarbete. Trots detta har inga tidigare svenska studier undersökt specifikt hur villaägare påverkats av översvämningar bortom skadekostnader och ytterst få har undersökt hur de har hanterat eller ser på sitt ansvar att förebygga översvämningsrisker. Bristen på sådan kunskap kan leda till mindre informerade beslut om klimatanpassning. Genom intervjuer med villaägare som drabbats av översvämningar undersöker denna studie hur villaägare; ser på översvämningsrisker, har påverkats materiellt och hälsomässigt, har hanterat situationen, och ser på ansvar att förebygga nya skador. Studien påvisar tydliga effekter på villaägares välbefinnande, att få villaägare har implementerat åtgärder, tendenser att underskatta risker för översvämningar samt att ansvaret för förebyggande åtgärder skjuts över till andra aktörer.
