Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- This article describes the development and testing of a research instrument, Families' Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses' Attitudes (FINC-NA), designed to measure nurses' attitudes about the importance of involving families in nursing care. The instrument was inductively developed from a literature review and tested with a sample of Swedish nurses. An item-total correlation and a first principal component analysis were used to validate the final instrument, including a second principal component analysis to analyze dimensionality, and Cronbach's alpha was used to estimate internal consistency. The instrument consists of 26 items and reveals four factors: families as a resource in nursing care, family as a conversational partner, family as a burden, and family as its own resource. Cronbach's alpha was 0.88 for the total instrument and 0.69 to 0.80 for the subscales. The instrument requires further testing with other nurse populations.

Nurses' attitudes about the importance of families in nursing care : a survey of Swedish nurses
- 2008

- The purpose of this study was to investigate the attitudes of registered nurses (RNs) about the importance of involving families in nursing care. A sample of 634 randomly selected Swedish RNs completed the instrument, Families' Importance in Nursing Care-Nurses' Attitudes (FINC-NA), and reported holding supportive attitudes about families. High scores were found for the subscales: family as a resource in nursing care, family as a conversational partner, family as a burden, and family as its own resource. Variables that predicted a less supportive attitude about involving families in nursing care included being a newly graduated nurse, having no general approach to the care of families at the place of work, and being a male nurse.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective: The aim of thé study was to investigate Swedish nurses1 attitudes to thé significance of families in nursing care. Method: An instrument (FAMBO), based on a research literature review, was developed by thé researchers. The instrument consists of 60 items about nurses' attitudes to thé significance of families in nursing care, i.e. for thé patients, thé family members and for thé nurses. The items include nurses' thoughts, feelings and actions in relation to, for example, engagement, communication, information and family resources. During May 2004, thé questionnaire was posted to 1000 nurses randomly sampled from The Swedish Association of Health Professionals' list of members, excluding administrators, teachers and retired nurses. After two reminders, we received 709 instruments, of which 50 were unanswered. The response rate was 66% (n = 659). The analysis, descriptive and analytic statistics, has just begun (Nov, 2004). The study is a co-operation between Kalmar University and The Swedish Association of Health Professionals. Results: At thé conférence, nurses' attitudes to thé significance of families in nursing care will be presented, for example, in relation to âge, organizational form and in relation to nurses' areas of work. Conclusion: The resuit of this study will be a part of thé foundation for further development of family nursing in Sweden.

Characteristics of disability pensioners returning to work : an interview study among individuals with musculoskeletal disorders
- 2007

Ingår i: Disability and Rehabilitation. - 0963-8288 .- 1464-5165. - 0963-8288 ; 29:22, s. 1720-1726

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose. To explore adaptation patterns among disability pensioners with musculoskeletal disorders returning to work by means of the Swedish law on 'resting disability pension'. Method. Qualitative analyses of interviews with 17 individuals going back to work. Results. Three adaptation patterns were identified: The Go- getter, the Realist and the Indifferent. These differed regarding influence factors, own expectations, motive, morals and mentality. Conclusion. Several actors may support a return to work for individuals who received a disability pension due to musculoskeletal disorders. In order to succeed, however, it is essential that the disability pensioner is motivated for a reconstruction of his/ her life.

Return to work still possible after several years as a disability pensioner due to musculoskeletal disorders : a population-based study after new legislation in Sweden permitting "resting disability pension"
- 2006

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Different strategies have been used to stimulate a return to work (RTW) among individuals suffering from long-term ailments. In Sweden a new law on "resting disability pension" permits disability pensioners to go back to work without jeopardising their benefits. In this study different variables related to RTW during 2000 by means of this legislation were identified among disability pensioners with musculoskeletal disorders. Individuals in the study group, when compared to a control group, had more often been disability pensioners for several years, had additional education, estimated their previous job to have been physically strenuous to a lesser degree, were more satisfied with the treatment at the social insurance office and had a more positive self-image. This study shows that it may be meaningful to continue/resume rehabilitation efforts and to try to motivate an individual suffering from musculoskeletal disorders to return to work even after several years as a disability pensioner.
