- Background. Although the topic of pain among older people has received increasing interest, little is still known about how pain is experienced or handled by those who no longer manage independently but depend on professionals for help with daily living. Developing pain management for older people requires such knowledge. Aim. To explore sense of self, sense of pain, daily living with pain, sense of others and ways of handling pain in older people with persistent pain. Methods. Interviews with 90 older people receiving home care from nursing auxiliaries in their own homes or in sheltered accommodation were collected from January to June 2000. A typology of older people in persistent pain was developed. Activities for handling pain were examined using content analysis. Findings. Respondents' experiences of themselves and their pain varied. Two groups of older people, considered as 'competent and proud' and 'confident and serene', expressed satisfaction in spite of pain, while the groups 'misunderstood and disappointed' and 'resigned and sad' expressed dissatisfaction. The most common strategies used were medication, rest, mobility, distracting activities and talking about pain. Respondents chose strategies by balancing the advantages of the activities against the disadvantages these brought for their daily living. Conclusion. This study indicates that characteristics of the older people, such as their way of experiencing themselves, how pain affects their daily life and how they perceive effects and side-effects of pain management are areas that need to be identified when staff assess pain and plan pain management. Caring for older people in pain could be improved by listening to and believing their complaints, evaluating effects and side-effects from medications and nonpharmacological pain management and by emphasising the importance of common everyday activities such as mobility and distraction to relieve pain.

For Particular Reasons : Studies in Honour of Jerker Blomqvist
- 2003
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- For Particular Reasons tillägnas en man som vigt sitt liv åt studiet av det grekiska språket och dess litteratur. Professor Jerker Blomqvist startade sin akademiska karriär som filosofie doktor vid Lunds universitet 1969 och har därefter förgyllt tillvaron för flertalet studenter, kollegor och vänner. Han har varit en engagerad och omtyckt lärare som förutom sin undervisning även har skrivit böcker som omfattar allt från grekisk grammatik till kommentarer av klassiska texter. Även om hans viktigaste publikationer har handlat om lingvistik och textkritik så finns där ändå spår av andra områden som intresserat honom. Artiklarna i For Particular Reasons återspeglar festföremålets vitt skilda intresseområden. Här finns texter som behandlar medicin, latinsk hymndiktning, grekisk grammatik, översättningsproblem och exegetik. Bland medverkande skribenter återfinns bland andra professor Birger Bergh, författaren och poeten Jesper Svenbro, professor Sture Linnér samt professor Anders Piltz.

First identification of gamma-ray transitions in 107Te
- 2004

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Gamma-ray transitions in Te-107 have been identified for the first time. The experiment, which utilized the recoil decay tagging technique, was performed at the accelerator laboratory of the University of Jyvaskyla, Finland. Prompt gamma rays produced in Ni-58(Cr-52,3n)Te-107(*) reactions were detected by the JUROGAM gamma-ray spectrometer. The gamma rays belonging to Te-107 were selected based on the recoil identification provided by the RITU gas-filled recoil separator and the GREAT focal plane spectrometer. A first excited state at 90 keV, tentatively of g(7/2) character, is proposed.

First identification of excited states in the T-z=1/2 nucleus Pd-93
- 2004

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The first experimental information about excited states in the N=Z+1 nucleus Pd-93 is presented. The experiment was performed using a 205 MeV Ni-58 beam from the Vivitron accelerator at IReS, Strasbourg, impinging on a bismuth-backed Ca-40 target. Gamma-rays, neutrons and charged particles emitted in the reactions were detected using the Ge detector array Euroball, the Neutron Wall liquid-scintillator array and the Euclides Si charged-particle detector system. The experimental level scheme is compared with the results of new shell model calculations which predict a coupling scheme with aligned neutron-proton pairs to greatly influence the level structure of Napproximate toZ nuclei at low excitation energies.
