Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Based on the storytelling tradition and analyses of conference material, this article provides an overview of the evolving Nordic Health Promotion Research Network (NHPRN) and its conferences over the last 20 years. The story goes from the planning of the first conference in Bergen, Norway, back in 1996 to the eighth conference in Jyväskylä, Finland, in 2016. There have been three phases of development. During the first phase, 1996–2007, the five first conferences were initiated and implemented by departments of public health in the Nordic countries. The World Health Organization (WHO) collaborative centres of Health Promotion in Bergen University and a group at Karolinska Institute, Department of Social Medicine, creating supportive environments for health in Stockholm played key roles in initiating and supporting NHPRN. During the second phase, 2007–2014, the network was strengthened and supported by the Nordic School of Public Health (NHV) in Gothenburg. The third phase started when NHV closed down in 2015 and networking activities were transferred to the European Office of WHO in Copenhagen. The Nordic Health Promotion Research Conference series has served several purposes and will continue to do so. They are important Nordic meeting places, stimulating Health Promotion research, as well as explicitly managing ongoing concerns in the international Health Promotion community. This is reflected in the shift of foci over time. The content of the conferences has been highly responsive to whatever challenges are particularly relevant at different points in time, while also contributing to developing Health Promotion as a discipline, given that every conference has built on the previous ones.

Concerns and future challenges of health literacy in the Nordic countries – From the point of view of health promotion practitioners and researchers
- 2018
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Health literacy is an essential social determinant for promoting and maintaining the health of a population. Aim: From a health promotion perspective, explore health literacy issues, concerns and future challenges among Nordic practitioners and researchers. Methods: Data were collected in a workshop at the 8th Nordic Health Promotion Conference, and in a literature review, with articles from five databases. The search included title and abstract with the search terms health literacy* and health literacy as a MeSH term and all the Nordic countries. Qualitative and quantitative analysis were used. Results: Twenty-five persons participated in the workshop. The discussions were summarized in six themes: concept of health literacy in national language; risk of victim blaming; measuring health literacy; content in school curricula on health literacy; new technologies for information and communication; communication and collaboration between different actors in support of health. Forty-three articles on health literacy were identified, mainly conducted within three fields: development, test and adaptation of instruments for measuring health literacy; measurement of health literacy among patients, or other defined target groups and on populations; and developing and evaluating methods/tools for the training of personnel groups or different target groups. Conclusions: There is a need for further studies providing a more in-depth understanding of the health literacy concept, knowledge on how to measure health literacy, ethical aspects, application in intersectoral collaboration as well as the adaptation to new technologies for information and communication in education supporting health literacy. As health literacy is an essential social health determinant, a concern and a future challenge must be, to make the health literacy concept familiar and visible in health promotion policies, research and practice such as health education. © 2018, © Author(s) 2018.

Nordic responses to covid-19 from a health promotion perspective
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Health Promotion International. - : Oxford University Press (OUP). - 0957-4824 .- 1460-2245. ; 38:4
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- On 30 January 2020, the disease covid-19 was declared by the World Health Organization to be an international threat to human health and on 11 March 2020, the outbreak was declared a pandemic. The aim of this study was to analyse policy strategies developed by the five Nordic countries during the first 3 months of the pandemic from a health promotion perspective in order to identify Nordic responses to the crisis. Although the Nordic countries have a long tradition of co-operation as well as similar social welfare policies and legislation, each country developed their own strategies towards the crisis. The strategies identified were analysed from a health promotion perspective emanating from five principles: intersectorality, sustainability, equity, empowerment and a lifecourse perspective. Denmark, Finland and Norway had lockdowns to varying degrees, whereas Sweden and Iceland had no lockdowns. Iceland implemented a test and tracking strategy from the very beginning. All countries based their recommendations and restrictions on appeals to solidarity and trust in institutions and fellow citizens. The analysis showed that the strategies in all countries could be related to health promotion principles with some differences between the countries especially regarding equity and sustainability. The Nordic governments took responsibility for protecting their citizens by developing policy strategies based on restrictions and recommendations congruent with the principles of health promotion. The findings also identified issues that will pose challenges for future pandemic strategies.

The relevance of WHO injury surveillance guidelines for evaluation : learning from the Aboriginal Community-Centered Injury Surveillance System (ACCISS)and two institution-based systems
- 2011
-
Ingår i: BMC Public Health. - : Springer Science and Business Media LLC. - 1471-2458. ; 11:744
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Over the past three decades, the capacity to develop and implement injury surveillance systems (ISS) has grown worldwide and is reflected by the diversity of data gathering environments in which ISS operate. The capacity to evaluate ISS, however, is less advanced and existing evaluation guidelines are ambiguous. Furthermore, the applied relevance of these guidelines to evaluate ISS operating in various settings is unclear. The aim of this paper was to examine how the World Health Organization (WHO) injury surveillance guidelines have been applied to evaluate systems operating in three different contexts. METHODS: The attributes of a good surveillance system as well as instructions for conducting evaluations, outlined in the WHO injury surveillance guidelines, were used to develop an analytical framework. Using this framework, a comparative analysis of the application of the guidelines was conducted using; the Aboriginal Community-Centered Injury Surveillance System (ACCISS) from Canada, the Shantou-Emergency Department Injury Surveillance Project (S-EDISP) from China, and the Yorkhill-Canadian Hospitals Injury Reporting and Prevention Program (Y-CHIRPP) imported from Canada and implemented in Scotland. RESULTS: The WHO guidelines provide only a basic platform for evaluation. The guidelines over emphasize epidemiologic attributes and methods and under emphasize public health and injury prevention perspectives requiring adaptation for context-based relevance. Evaluation elements related to the dissemination and use of knowledge, acceptability, and the sustainability of ISS are notably inadequate. From a public health perspective, alternative reference points are required for re-conceptualizing evaluation paradigms. This paper offers an ISS evaluation template that considers how the WHO guidelines could be adapted and applied. CONCLUSIONS: Findings suggest that attributes of a good surveillance system, when used as evaluation metrics, cannot be weighted equally across ISS. In addition, the attribute of acceptability likely holds more relevance than previously recognized and should be viewed as a critical underpinning attribute of ISS. Context-oriented evaluations sensitive to distinct operational environments are more likely to address knowledge gaps related to; understanding links between the production of injury data and its use, and the effectiveness, impact, and sustainability of ISS. Current frameworks are predisposed to disassociating epidemiologic approaches from subjective factors and social processes.

Health Care Provider’s Perceptions about and Experiences of Achieving Equitable Health Care : An Evaluation Study
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Quality in Primary Care. - London. - 1479-1072 .- 1479-1064. ; 25:5, s. 289-296

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: In June 2011 the Swedish government signed an agreement with The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions (SALAR), for a three year project to develop and implement “Health care on equal terms.” The project, which involved seven Primary Health Care Units (PHCU) from five county councils in different parts in Sweden, was completed in early 2014. The aim of the project was to develop methods and activities that could promote more equal health care provision in socio-economically disadvantaged areas.Aim: To assess and compare health care providers’ experiences of and perceptions about equitable health care at the beginning and end of the national project “Health care on equal terms”.Methods: A web survey was sent to all staff at the seven participating Primary Health Care Units (PHCU) at the beginning (2012) and the end (2013) of the project. Data were analyzed with descriptive statistics and the open issues with content analysis.Results: In 2013, the percentage of health care providers who reported thinking patients’ ethnicity had no or very little impact on access to care increased, but the proportion of those who reported that they had “no idea” that patients’ gender, age, mental health and physical functioning were significant for access to care was lower in 2013 than in 2012. The results from analysis of the open-ended questions did not show meaningful changes in the respondents’ perceptions of the issues addressed in 2012-2013, but the analysis contributes to a deeper explanation of the answers.Conclusion: The main conclusion is that it was possible to implement changes aiming for more equitable care through projects with a focus on learning.

Cervical screening participation and risk among Swedish-born and immigrant women in Sweden
- 2012
-
Ingår i: International Journal of Cancer. - : Wiley. - 0020-7136 .- 1097-0215. ; 130:4, s. 937-947
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers among women worldwide, although cervical screening has reduced the incidence in many high-income countries. Low screening uptake among immigrant women may reflect differences in risk of cervical cancer. We investigated the degree of participation in cervical screening among immigrant and Swedish-born women and their concurrent risk of cervical cancer based on individual information on Pap smears taken both from organized and opportunistic screening. Mean degree of participation in cervical screening was estimated for women between 23 and 60 years from 1993 to 2005, stratified by birth region and age at migration. In Poisson regression models, we estimated relative risks (RRs), incidence rates and incidence rate ratios of cervical cancer for women adhering or not to the cervical screening program. We also assessed effect of adherence to screening on the risk of cervical cancer among immigrant groups compared to Swedish-born women. The degree of participation was 62% and 49% among Swedish-born and immigrant women, respectively, with large variations between immigrant groups. Participation was lowest among those immigrating at older ages. Swedish-born and immigrant women who where nonadherent to the cervical screening program had a fivefold excess risk of cervical cancer compared to adherent women. After adjustment for screening adherence, excess RRs of cervical cancer were statistically significant only for women from Norway and the Baltic States. Participation to screening is lower among immigrant than Swedish-born women, and adherence to the recommended screening intervals strongly prevents cervical cancer.

Setting quantified road safety targets : Theory and practice in Sweden
- 2010
-
Ingår i: Journal of Health & Medical Informatics. - : OMICS Publishing Group. - 2157-7420. ; 1:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: The Swedish Government has a long tradition of setting quantified time-bounded road safety targets. Thisarticle identifies and analyses these targets, and evaluates the national road safety targets adopted in 1989, 1996 and1998 in order to assess whether the different targets fulfil the SMART criteria of being specific, measurable, achievable,realistic and time bounded.Methods: This study is a retrospective case study and in order to trace all relevant policy documents that containinformation on quantified targets, a snowball technique was applied. The searching process result in a total of 23 keydocuments and these were analyzed in two steps. The first step examined how the targets have been formulated andthe second step assessed whether the targets had been constructed according to the SMART criteria.Results: This study shows that, although all the specified targets were theoretically achievable, those targetsadopted in 1996 and 1998 were, according to this evaluation, unrealistic.Conclusion: This study raises the question as to the rationality of political leaders when adopting targets whichcould be difficult to achieve in reality. One explanation for their adoption is that unrealistic targets could serve as amanagement tool in that they could be rational from a road safety point of view because they could inspire stakeholdersto do more than they would otherwise have done. In this article, other motives behind the setting of unrealistic targetsare also discussed.

Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- In October 1997 the Swedish Parliament adopted a new road safety policy – Vision Zero. Vision Zero entails a fundamentally new division of responsibility for traffic safety between road users and the so called system designers such as road administrations, municipalities, and professional transport companies among others. In this study the implementation of a formal responsibility for system designers to prevent serious injuries in road traffic between 1997 and 2009 is evaluated. Two main research questions have guided this study namely: How has the legislative process of formalizing the responsibility of system designers progressed? and What important factors might explain the implementation outcome? The main sources of information for this study were official key documents. Based on a goal attainment model, an important conclusion is that the goal to legally formalize a responsibility has only been minimally realized and therefore this might be an example of a classic implementation failure. In order to explain and discuss this low level of achievement a process evaluation approach has also been used. Built on this process evaluation approach, it can be questioned if this is an example of implementation failure after all.

Health impact assessment (HIA) of political proposals at the local level : successful introduction, but what has happened 15 years later?
- 2017
-
Ingår i: Global Health Promotion. - : SAGE Publications Ltd. - 1757-9759 .- 1757-9767. ; 24:2, s. 43-51
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Health impact assessments (HIAs) were first introduced in Sweden in the mid-to-late 1990s, with the aim of placing health issues on the political agenda and helping to reduce health inequalities. In the early 2000s, HIAs entered a second phase and the Swedish Parliament adopted a national public health policy. A national survey conducted in 2001 showed that 10/289 municipalities had begun to use HIA and 55/289 had decided to use HIA or had initiated an adoption process. In a 2013 follow-up study based on a strategic sample of municipalities, 9/36 municipalities reported using HIA and/or similar tools. Corresponding figures for the 21 Swedish regions were 10 regions in 2001 and four in 2013. HIA and similar tools (sustainability analyses, child impact assessments, and others) were applied to the same extent as HIA. Fifteen years after implementation began, HIA is still being used. Regions show a clear decrease in the use of HIA. There are several explanations for this development. One is the political context, and other explanations are shifts in which actors are responsible for HIA and for public health at the local/regional levels.

Thailand and Sweden as welfare regimes : examples from the healthcare sector
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- The characteristics of a welfare state is largely related to social justice and welfare reforms. This is mainly in the form of legislation, economic transfers and services that help to ensure that all citizens receive a basic economic security and access to services such as health care and nursing. A key factor for this is a country's economy and political will. In Thailand, there was a strong economic growth during the 1970s. The corresponding development in Sweden took place in the mid 1940's. Health and welfare is the main area of collaboration between the Ministry of Health in Thailand and Mälardalen University. The aim of this study is from a welfare perspective, a comparison of the similarities and differences in the basic elements of the health care systems in Thailand and Sweden.The study is based on analysis of national policy documents from Thailand and Sweden as well as from United Nations Agency.Both countries emphasize health and welfare from a social rights perspective in constitutions and other laws. E.g. the Thailand Constitution of 2007 states that a person shall enjoy an equal right to receive standard public health service, and the indigent shall have the right to receive free medical treatment from State's infirmary. The Swedish Constitution recognizes that the personal, economic and cultural welfare should be the fundamental goal of public activity through, among other things promote social care and social security, and good conditions for health. In the Swedish Health Care Act of 1982, the goal is a good health and care on equal terms for the entire population.Both Thailand and Sweden have a national system of Universal Health Coverage (UHC), which is defined according to World Health Organization (WHO) as ensuring that all people can use the promotive, preventive, curative, rehabilitative and palliative health services they need, of sufficient quality to be effective, while also ensuring that the use of these services does not expose the user to financial hardship.In terms of selected indicators shows for the year 2012 that the Total health expenditure (THE) % of Gross Domestic Product (GDP) amounts in Thailand 4% and 10% in Sweden, general government expenditure on health as % of GDP are 3% resp. 8%, prevention and public health services are 9 resp. 4%, physician density per 1,000 population 0.3 resp. 3.9. The proportion of beds at public/private hospitals are 78/21% resp. 99/1%.The example from the health care system shows that the two countries have legislation that emphasizes health as a social right and a public financing of health care. In terms of specific indicators, there are wide variations in terms of costs to society and the individual including prevention and public health services, access to doctors and proportion of beds in public and private hospitals.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- A Non Smoking Generation (NSG) utvecklade, tillsammans med Landstinget Kronoberg, Gotlands och Järfälla kommuner, under åren 2003 till 2005 ett tobakspreventivt flerkomponentsprogram för grundskolan. År 2010 fick NSG nya medel för att utvärdera vad som fortfarande fanns kvar av programmet på de skolor som var med i projektet. Långtidsuppföljningen, fem år efter det projektet var avslutat, visar att grundskolorna åtminstone delvis fortsatt att använda programmet, men både programföljsamheten och vidmakthållandet minskat. Vid implementering av tobaksförebyggande program i grundskolan är det av betydelse att beakta både yttre strukturella faktorer som påverkar skolornas arbete som inre faktorer som lärarnas synsätt på hälsofrämjande arbete i skolan, personalkontinuitet och andra stödjande faktorer som främjar ett vidmakthållande av tobaksförebyggande arbete som implementeras i skolan.

Barriers, Enablers and challenges in the practice of directly observed treatment for tuberculosis patients in a local Thai community
- 2017
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Tuberculosis (TB) has presented a challenge to the public health community in Thailand, especially as regards patient adherence to TB treatment. Direct observed treatment (DOT) is recommended for promoting patient adherence to TB treatment. There is good evidence that DOT can significantly increase the patient adherence to TB treatment. However, the implementation of DOT has complex relationships to socioeconomic factors and Thai context issues. The overall aim was (1) to obtain a deeper understanding of what happens when the DOT is practised in a local Thai community, and (2) to generate knowledge for improving the implementation of DOT, and thereby improve patient adherence to TB treatment.The empirical data were collected in Trang province, in the southern region of Thailand, between 2013 and 2015. The sample of study I consisted of five District TB Coordinators and five TB clinic staff from the public health sectors in rural and urban areas. Phenomenographic analysis was used. Study II: Five focus group discussions were conducted with 25 village health volunteers and six family members; manifest and latent content analysis was used for the analysis. Study III: Twenty TB patients were interviewed, using grounded theory methodology. Study IV: A mixed-method systematic review was accessed through databases. Data from the selected studies were extracted and synthesized using thematic analysis. The fear of stigma of TB patients was considered a significant barrier to the practice of DOT and adherence to TB treatment (studies I, II and III). Lack of TB knowledge and skills among DOT observers were revealed as barriers to the practice of DOT (studies I and II). At the same time, social facilitation and TB patients’ positive thinking and self-awareness were considered enablers of patient adherence to TB treatment (studies I and III). Another result is to provide an empowerment approach for DOT observers, who, in turn, will increase the empowerment of TB patients to achieve adherence to TB treatment (study IV).This thesis contributes a deeper understanding of the perspective of healthcare providers, DOT observers and TB patients when DOT is practised in a local Thai community. A challenge from these results is to provide an empowerment approach towards DOT observers. The results of this thesis will be useful for policy-makers who will consider strategies for improving the implementation of DOT and enabling patient adherence to TB treatment in the Thai context.

Thai district Leaders' perceptions of managing the direct observation treatment program in Trang Province, Thailand
- 2016
-
Ingår i: BMC Public Health. - : BIOMED CENTRAL LTD. - 1471-2458. ; 16
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Thailand is 18th out of the 22 countries with the highest tuberculosis (TB) burden. It will be a challenge for Thailand to achieve the UN Millennium Development target for TB, as well as the new WHO targets for eliminating TB by 2035. More knowledge and a new approach are needed to tackle the complex challenges of managing the DOT program in Thailand. Contextual factors strongly influence the local implementation of evidence in practice. Using the PARIHS model, the aim has been to explore district leaders' perceptions of the management of the DOT program in Trang province, Thailand. Methods: A phenomenographic approach was used to explore the perceptions among district DOT program leaders in Trang province. We conducted semi-structured interviews with district leaders responsible for managing the DOT program in five districts. The analysis of the data transcriptions was done by grouping similarities and differences of perceptions, which were constructed in a hierarchical outcome space that shows a set of descriptive categories. Results: The first descriptive category revealed a common perception of the leaders' duty and wish to comply with the NTP guidelines when managing and implementing the DOT program in their districts. More varied perceptions among the leaders concerned how to achieve successful treatment. Other perceptions concerned practical dilemmas, which included fear of infection, mutual distrust, and inadequate knowledge about TB. Further, the leaders perceived a need for improved management practices in implementing the TB guidelines. Conclusion: Using the PARIHS framework to gain a retrospective perspective on the district-level policy implementation of the DOT program and studying the leadership's perceptions about applying the guidelines to practice, has brought new knowledge about management practices. Additional support and resources from the regional level are needed to manage the challenges.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- To develop a conceptual framework of adherence to treatment among Thai people living with tuberculosis, a grounded theory approach was used. A purposive sample of 20 Thai people living with tuberculosis, aged from 23 to 85years, was interviewed. From the participants' perspective, a core category of social belonging was highlighted, with three categories of conditions connected: personal barriers, personal resilience, and social facilitation. Personal barriers encompassed fear of stigma, concealing the illness, and lack of knowledge and motivation to complete the treatment regime. Personal resilience encompassed positive thinking and self-awareness. Social facilitation encompassed the ease of access to health services, continuity in the health service's ability to choose a directly-observed therapy observer, and social support. This study contributes a deeper understanding of the perspective of Thai people living with tuberculosis with regards to adherence to tuberculosis treatment. It might improve how local healthcare workers provide tuberculosis care, and inspire them to tailor care to people living with tuberculosis in a local community to increase personal resilience and reduce stigma.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The trend away from a health and medical care-based policy to a healthy public policy has taken place in Sweden rather later than in other West European countries. One of the first county councils to establish health-promotion plans was Västernorrland. The aims of this study are to describe the contents of and analyze the changes over time in the five public-health plans in the county. The object of study for the policy analysis consists in these plans between 1978 and 2004. A deductive thematic content analysis was performed for each plan on the basis of the central determinants of health promotion. The positioning of the plans was determined using a theoretical framework (Beattie's modified model) founded in the dimensions of power (individual and collective) and governance (local, i.e. the municipalities, and central, i.e. the county council). The results show that the value attributed to good health was consistently high, but the means for attaining this goal have varied over time. The policy focus of the measures in the plans have taken a cyclical path-from individual empowerment to empowerment from a societal perspective, and back prioritizing of actions at an individual level. On the governance dimension, there has been a corresponding positional change over time-from regional to local and then back to regional. Promoting the health of a population requires mutual interaction between the regional and local levels, in which both societal and individually oriented actions are prioritized.

The Nordic Health Promotion Research Network (NHPRN) - developing theory and research in a Nordicperspective
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- BackgroundSince the Ottawa Charter (1986) the Nordic countries have been in the forefront in developing health promotion (HP) theory, research, policy and practice. An informal network of Nordic researchers organized five Nordic HP research conferences since 1996. In 2007, the NHPRN was established in cooperation with the Nordic School of Public Health, and three more conferences have been established.AimsThe aims of the NHPRN is to develop: the theoretical understanding of HP; Nordic research cooperation; cooperation within education on a master and PhD level; and to organize the Nordic Health Promotion ResearchConferencesOrganizationThe network members constitute a balanced representation of the Nordic countries: It is interdisciplinary with junior and senior researchers. It organizes biannual meetings at WHO’s premises in Copenhagen. The network is organized in working groups engaged in topics central for HP research and practice. Current working groups are Healthy aging; Health literacy; Equity in health; Empowerment; and Workplace health promotion. Working groups are not static and may change depending on the interests for the network members.Mode of workingIn the biannual meetings, lectures on state-of-the art issues are given by leading researchers and policy makers. Participants engage in theoretical discussions in plenum and working groups. The working groups perform research. Collaboration finds place at the meetings and through e-mail correspondence and web meetings. The working groups take part in the planning of conferences and organize workshops in line with their research interests.ProductionThe network has published the book Health literacy: teori och praktik i hälsofrämjande arbete (Ringsberg KC Olander E, Tillgren P. 2015), two supplements in Scandinavian Journal of Public Health (2010 and 2014) and several scientific articles. The network has organized three scientific conferences with a Nordic perspective: 2009;The role of health promotion in the transition of the Nordic welfare states (Gothenburg, Sweden); 2013: Promoting health in everyday settings (Vestfold, Norway); 2016: 20 years of health promotion research in the Nordic countries (Jyväskylä, Finland). A fourth conference is planned for 2019 with the topic Sustainable health promotion (Roskilde, Denmark).FutureThe network is open for PhD students and HP researchers working in the Nordic countries. The NHPRN is a working network and all participants must therefore commit to the work of the network and participate in its meetings. Researchers interested in participating in the network may obtain further information by contacting the network chairman Sami Kokko (sami.p.kokko@jyu.fi) or 1.1.2017 onwards Anne Liveng (aliveng@ruc.dk); seeing the website http://nhprn.wordpress.com; and/or reading Ringsberg KC., The Nordic Health Promotion Research Network, Scand J Publ Health 2015;43(Suppl 16):51-56.

- Den andra nationella utvärderingen av samtliga 23 utbildningsprogram på kandidat-, magister- och masternivå i folkhälsovetenskap genomfördes 2011-2012. Här presenteras en översikt av de examensarbeten som utvärderingen baserades på. Det är 218 slumpmässigt utvalda uppsatser, 67 från kandidatnivå, 55 från magisternivå och 76 från mastersnivå. Högskoleverkets hårt reglerade format medgav inte någon innehållsmässig analys av hur folkhälsovetenskapen speglades i uppsatserna. Vi åtta i bedömargruppen var dock eniga om att vidga ramarna. Vår fördjupning kom att fokuseras på vilka tillämpningsområden som studenterna valde, vilka forskningsdesigner som tillämpades och hur kvaliteten bedömdes i relation till ämne, metod och fakultetsområde. Av de nio folkhälsovetenskapliga områden som förekommer i uppsatserna var de vanligaste Hälsofrämjande och Hälsans bestämningsfaktorer. Ämnesinnehåll och olika examensnivåer varierade stort mellan de olika lärosätena. En slutsats är att utbildningen i folkhälsovetenskap har svårigheter att balansera det flervetenskapliga med att nå ett fördjupat kunskapsinnehåll.

- Folkhälsovetenskap är sedan två decennier ett etablerat ämne inom den svenska högskolans alla tre utbildningsnivåer. Under åren har antalet utbildningar varierat och finns 2017 som akademisk utbildning vid 18 lärosäten. På grundnivå finns nio program och på avancerad nivå 18 olika program med vardera nio som magister- respektive masterutbildningar. Forskarutbildning i ämnet bedrivs vid tio lärosäten. Medan de varit en nedgång av antalet utbildningar på grundutbildningsnivå har det varit en kraftig utbyggnad på avancerad- och forskarutbildningsnivå. Utbildningens innehåll återspeglar väl ämnets tvärvetenskapliga karaktär och dess förankring i epidemiologi. Grundutbildningen visar på en bred inriktning och master programmen finns med flera specifika inriktningar, bland annat Global hälsa, Hälsoekonomi och Epidemiologi.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- I ett drygt decennium har det varit möjligt för statliga och enskilda högskolor i Sverige att ansöka om att få inrätta forskarutbildning inom ett specifikt område. Fram till 2020 har 38 tillstånd beviljats och åtta av dessa har koppling till området hälsa och/eller välfärd. Sedan läsåret 2012/13 finns vid Mälardalens högskola (MDH) forskarutbildning inom detta område. Syftet med denna artikel är att beskriva och diskutera en granskning av hur området hälsa och välfärd återspeglas i de första 15 avhandlingarna. En kvalitativ deduktiv innehållsanalys genomfördes samt en bibliometrisk undersökning av innehållet i avhandlingarnas introduktion och diskussion. Utifrån granskningen diskuteras resultatet men också hur den metodik som tillämpats kan vara relevant för granskning av avhandlingar även vid andra högskolor med ett specifikt forskarutbildningsområde.

- The local perspective on the implementation of a national public health policy in Sweden – a case study from two municipalitiesAuthor names (surname, initials): Elisabeth Janssona,b, , Elisabeth Fossec, Per Tillgrena,bAffiliations:School of Health, Care and Welfare, Mälardalen University, Box 883, SE-721 23 Västerås, Swedenb Department of Public Health Sciences, Karolinska Institutet, Norrbacka, SE-171 76 Stockholm, Swedenc Department of Health Promotion and Development, University of Bergen, Christiegt. 13, 5015 Bergen, Norway Background: In 2003 the Swedish parliament adopted a wide-ranging national objective for public health, focusing specifically on health determinants. It is envisaged that the overall objective will be achieved through the efforts of different bodies, including agencies, county councils and municipalities. Responsibility for implementation is located at regional and local level, without any specified guidelines or, for example, economic incentives for how the work should be performed. This study’s intention is, from a bottom-up perspective, to investigate public-health policies in two municipalities, and to see whether municipal policies can be related to the national objective. The bottom-up perspective focuses on the actors, the people responsible for implementation, and on the process as seen from their own perspective. The implementers play a key role, as mediators of empirical knowledge and bases for decisions to the national decision-makers. Thus, in the implementation of national policy at local level, decision-makers are dependent on the decisions made and priorities set by the municipalities in their own local settings, as these are related to competing or similar laws, policies, stakeholders and needs. Local and committed actors have an important function in the implementation process. Serious commitment and occupying a position of power are important aspects of success, but so too is professional expertise. At the same time, local actors’ opportunities to act and implement national targets within their own organization is restricted by surrounding structures, e.g. the party-political (partisan) composition of the municipality and its administrative organization, and also the presence or not of formal or informal support networks. Methods: Scrutiny of documents and interviews provided a foundation for a qualitative case study.Results:The results reveal a loose fit between policy implementation and the national public health policy. The local level does not regard the national objective as implementable; instead, it has, to varying degrees, chosen to redefine its goals according to municipal needs and conditions. A success-promoting factor in the two municipalities was the presence of committed and knowledgeable actors/implementers. Also, the municipality with a more centrally controlled and stable party-political leadership succeeded better in implementing structural and intersectoral community-wide policies for coordinated local public-health promotion. Discussion /Conclusions:Problems that accompany major, ambitious and non-specific goals, like those in the Swedish public health policy, are that they risk being integrated into a solely symbolic structure, entailing formal adoption but with only a superficial finish. Below the surface, the informal, original organization remains in the administrations, which hinders implementation.Swedish municipal self-governance, with its enhanced scope for local action, offers an opportunity for communities to shape their own politics and policies. But, at the same time, this acts as a barrier to opportunities for decision-makers at national-government level to influence and guide the municipalities towards the national objective of more organized and structured health promotion focusing on the determinants of health enhanced knowledge of the policy, and of its specific focus on health determinants, is needed to increase understanding/motivation to implement the national policy locally.

Statistical modelling needed to find the effects from a community-based elderly safety promotion program.
- 2009
-

- Background: Multiple control areas and time-series analyses have been recommended for effect evaluations of community-based health promotion. Large fluctuations, maybe due to chance, among the areas and over the years might obscure the intervention effect. Methods: A quasi-experimental time-series analysis with several control areas was performed as an effect evaluation of a community-based elderly safety promotion program. The program was implemented during 199599 in a community in the Stockholm Metropolitan area (population 65 years: 5500; number of first hip fractures in 1995: 60). Four control areas were selected based on similar hip fracture-related characteristics as the intervention community, complemented with two larger control areas. The time series covered 6 years pre-intervention (199095) and 6 years post-intervention (19962001). The study population was divided into two age groups and gender, resulting in 28 panels. The first hip fracture incidence was obtained from the Swedish national in-patient register. Results: The time series revealed no discernible pattern, and conventional analyses showed no conclusive results. A multivariate analysis, examining the time trends by employing the intra-annual and intra-panel variance, revealed the underlying trends in hip fracture rates. Comparisons between predicted numbers of hip fractures in the intervention and control areas was enabled, which resulted in 14 less hip fractures in the intervention community than expected from the control communities. If one extreme value was altered, the result changed considerably. Conclusion: Effect evaluations of community-based health promotion programs using time-series from small communities might give faulty results, if statistical modelling is not employed.

- OBJECTIVE:To assess the relative cost-effectiveness of a high-intensity treatment (HIT) and a low-intensity treatment (LIT) for smoking cessation.METHODS:The societal and health care perspective economic evaluation was based on the reported number of quitters at 12-month follow-up (point prevalence) from a randomized controlled trial of 2 smoking cessation programs in Sweden. Future disease-related costs (in Swedish kronor [SEK] 2004; SEK7.35 = USD1) and health effects (in quality-adjusted life-years [QALYs]) were estimated via a Markov model comprising lung cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and cardiovascular disease including stroke with costs and QALYs discounted 3% annually.RESULTS:HIT was more effective than LIT (23% vs. 16% quitters), but at a considerably higher intervention cost: SEK26,100 versus 9,100 per quitter. The model-estimated societal costs avoided did not balance the higher intervention costs, so the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (ICER) amounted to SEK100,000 per QALY for HIT versus LIT. All sensitivity analyses indicated an ICER below SEK300,000 and that HIT is the preferred option if the decision maker willingness-to-pay exceeds SEK50,000 per QALY. Compared with no intervention, LIT was cost saving, whereas HIT was estimated at SEK8,400 per QALY.CONCLUSIONS:Compared with no smoking cessation program, it is a societal waste not to implement the LIT as it is estimated to result in lower societal costs. The incremental cost per QALY gained of SEK100,000 for HIT is considered very cost-effective in Sweden. Thus, if smoking cessation programs are judged in the same manner as other Swedish health care measures, the high-intensity program should be chosen before the low-cost program.

- Purpose:An organized population-based mammographic screening programme aims for an early detection of potential breast abnormalities so that treatment can commence. Continuous participation and a high attendance rate are vital for an effective programme. It is important to understand the underlying reasons for participation in mammographic screening, should there be factors that are amendable within reason and could be adjusted. Therefore, the invited women are valuable sources of information. This study aimed at describing the experiences and perceptions about mammographic screening of women from three municipalities in a Swedish county.Method:Six semi-structured focus-group discussions, each with four to five participants, were held. Content analysis was then conducted.Results:The screening procedure, such as staff professionalism, was covered. Other people's opinions and the woman's own understanding affected the women's decisions on whether or not to undergo the procedure. Structural conditions, such as travel time and financial issues, were sources of concern. However, the offer to perform mammographic screening was perceived with gratitude.Conclusions:Structural conditions, risk and time perceptions, the screening procedure, attitudes towards undergoing it and appreciation of its benefit may influence the women's continuous willingness to be screened, which in turn may affect public and individual health.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Understanding women’s life conditions regarding their non-participation in different health-promoting and disease-preventing activities is important as it may draw attention to potential areas for improvement in the healthcare sector. Mammographic screening, a disease-preventing service, facilitates early detection of any potential malignancies and consequently prompts initiation of treatment. The reasons for non-participation in mammographic screening can be understood from different perspectives, such as socioeconomic and lifestyle-related determinants of health. This study aims to gain a deeper understanding of women’s experiences and perceptions about non-participation in mammographic screening in a Swedish region with a single mammographic facility.MethodsData from individual semi-structured interviews, conducted in 2018 with eleven women between the ages of 48 and 73, were analysed by a qualitative content analysis.ResultsThe findings reveal three main categories: 1) doubts regarding mammographic screening and its organisation, 2) sense and sensibility in the decision to refrain from mammographic screening, and 3) dependency and options. These three categories indicate aspects, such as the individual’s life situation, accessibility to the offered service, and the flexibility of the healthcare system, that need to be considered to improve the organisation of mammographic screening.ConclusionListening to the women’s voices regarding their experiences and perceptions about mammographic screening is important as individual characteristics and social circumstances interact with healthcare and affect the degree of participation.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Breast cancer is the most common cancer type among women globally. To facilitate early detection,all 40–74-year-old female residents of Sweden are invited to participate in a population-based mammographic screening programme. Approximately 20% of all invited women decline the offer, and if this is due to systematic differences that can be adjusted, it can indicate inequity in healthcare. Assessment of and being updated about the health and healthcare of the residents are largely the responsibilities of the self-governed regions in Sweden. The understanding of the residents’ health serves as a basis for decision making and priority setting. This study aims todescribe how politicians representing a region in Sweden perceive women’s participation in mammographic screening and the politicians’ own possibility to promote such participation.Methods: Qualitative thematic analysis was conducted on the data obtained from individual semi-structured interviews held in 2019. The interviewees comprised ten politicians (six women and four men, 38–71 years old) representing a sub-committee focusing on public health and healthcare issues.Results: Two main themes have been identified: 1) expected actions and 2) expected conditions for acting,including a total of four sub-themes. According to the politicians, the expected actions, such as obtaining information and being updated about matters regarding mammographic screening, concern both the women invited to the screening and the politicians themselves. Additionally, for both the individual and the healthcare organisation, here represented by the politicians, expected actions entail a shared commitment to maintain health.The expected conditions for acting refer to the politician’s awareness of the factors influencing the women’s decision to undergo or refuse the screening and having the resources to enable taking actions to facilitate participation. Conclusions: Expected actions and expected conditions for acting are tightly connected and entail some form of prioritisation by the politicians. Setting the priorities can be based on information about the purpose of thescreening and an understanding of social determinants’ impacts on women’s decision to refrain frommammographic screening, as well as available resources.

Ingår i: International Journal for Equity in Health. - : BMC. - 1475-9276. ; 14:1

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- BACKGROUND: Inequality in health and health care is increasing in Sweden. Contributing to widening gaps are various factors that can be assessed by determinants, such as age, educational level, occupation, living area and country of birth. A health care service that can be used as an indicator of health inequality in Sweden is mammographic screening. The non-attendance rate is between 13 and 31 %, while the average is about 20 %. This study aims to shed light on three associations: between municipality and non-attendance, between age and non-attendance, and the interaction of municipality of residence and age in relation to non-attendance.METHODS: The study is based on data from the register that identifies attenders and non-attenders of mammographic screening in a Swedish county, namely the Radiological Information System (RIS). Further, in order to provide a socio-demographic profile of the county's municipalities, aggregated data for women in the age range 40-74 in 2012 were retrieved from Statistics Sweden (SCB), the Public Health Agency of Sweden, the National Board of Health and Welfare, and the Swedish Social Insurance Agency. The sample consisted of 52,541 women. Analysis conducted of the individual data were multivariate logistic regressions, and pairwise chi-square tests.RESULTS: The results show that age and municipality of residence associated with non-attendance of mammographic screening. Municipality of residence has a greater impact on non-attendance among women in the age group 70 to 74. For most of the age categories there were differences between the municipalities in regard to non-attendance to mammographic screening.CONCLUSIONS: Age and municipality of residence affect attendance of mammographic screening. Since there is one sole and pre-selected mammographic screening facility in the county, distance to the screening facility may serve as one explanation to non-attendance which is a determinant of inequity. From an equity perspective, lack of equal access to health and health care influences facility utilization.

Health literacy – challenges for the future
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective of the workshop: The aim is to highlight and discuss critical health literacy issues and concerns and pinpoint future challenges in theory, research and practice in order to strengthen supportive environments for health literacy. Background: Health literacy is a dynamic concept that more and more has come to the fore over the last ten years. This has led to an evolvement of a number of definitions with varying conceptual definitions and focus. A progression has occurred from health literacy focused on individuals' understanding of health information, to more complex definitions on people´s ability to use health literacy for societal influence i.e. critical health literacy. In a health promotion approach and in health promotion practice, health literacy is seen as a resource for the individual's health as well as for population health. Health literacy is also seen as a result of efforts to enhance health and equity in health between population groups, locally, nationally and internationally. In this workshop critical health literacy will be discussed from a health promotion perspective. PhD students who participate in the workshop and thereafter write a paper can be examined and approved equivalent for 1,5 ECTS. Organization of the workshop The workshop is building upon active interaction between the participants. It starts with a short introduction to the concept of health literacy, the most common definitions and a summing-up of current research within the field, elucidated from different perspectives with some Nordic examples from practice. Thereafter the participants discuss and reflect issues, and concerns and future challenges in research and practice from their own experiences and perspectives in subgroups. Finally a summary of the group discussions with pinpoint of future challenges according to supportive environments in plenum will be done.

Co-production by scientific papers in the field of Health and Welfare among Scientists / Institutions in Thailand and Sweden
- 2014
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- AIMThe aim of this study is to examine to what extent there is a co-production in research in the field of health and welfare between scientific institutions and universities in Thailand and Sweden. BACKGROUNDAt the School of Health, Care and Social Welfare at Mälardalen University the cooperation with Thailand includes both education and research. The cooperation has went on since 2009 including the Ministry of Health and their nursing and public health colleges as well as two universities, Mahidol university and Rangsit university. The latest agreement of cooperation covers the years 2013 - 2017. The cooperation takes place mainly through student exchange and training on graduate and advanced in the field of health and welfare, but also by some research contacts. METHODThe study is based on a systematic literature review in three multidisciplinary databases; Scopus, Web of Science and PubMed databases. The scoping has been limited to scientific articles. Three different search strategies have been used. To elaborate on the precision of the search it has been carried out in three steps. The initial search was based on the keywords ‘Health and Welfare’ as well as ‘Thailand and Sweden’ in the title as well as abstract. The second search was focused on ‘affiliation/address, author, Thailand and Sweden’. For PubMed the search included only 2013, because it was from this year it was possible to search for more than one affiliation/address. The third search was a deepening search by a concretization of ‘Health and Welfare’ based on other keywords related to disciplines, as specific concepts such as ‘caring, nursing, sociology, physiotherapy, public health, social work, psychology’ or appropriate disciplines. A limitation was made by including only studies between the two countries, not multicenter studies from more countries in which the two countries have signed. Further, duplicates were excluded in the analysis. Regarding the reliability of the articles the quality of the articles will be more analyzed in a final step of the process.FINDINGSThe first conceptual search resulted in 210 articles, distributed by the keywords Health and Welfare (4), Health (199) and Welfare (7). The second search resulted in 422 articles that showed that most of these items were not at all in the area of health and welfare, but other fields as engineering, physics, medical chemistry, biomedicine and animal studies. In the third search 56 articles in all three databases were identified. For the aim of this study 17 were considered relevant. IMPLICATIONSThis study demonstrates that there is a research collaboration and joint scientific publishing in many scientific disciplines and areas between the two countries, Thailand and Sweden. The co-production occurred primarily during the last 10 years. However there is a limited degree in the area of Health and Welfare. Only one of the identified articles were written by a cooperation with researchers in Thailand and at Mälardalen University.Recurring annual systematic literature reviews in the area of Health and Welfare will be a way to track the progress of co-production between universities in Thailand and Mälardalen University. This study can function as baseline study for such reviewing.
