Tidskriftsartikel (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Ge sjuksköterskor utrymme att göra kvalificerade bedömningar av patientens omvårdnadsbehov och låt dem också få gehör för de omvårdnadsinterventioner de föreslår. Det skulle inte bara bidra till att minska samvetsstress och arbetsrelaterad ohälsa hos sjuksköterskor utan också bidra till att de stannar i yrket, skriver sex forskare i vårdvetenskap.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study is to understand how healthy, older adults in Sweden perceive their life situation after retirement. The study is based on a lifeworld approach, and a phenomenographic method was used. Eighteen participants were interviewed, and data were analysed according to the phenomenographic principle of qualitatively different categories. Two categories were developed. The first category, “perceptions that draw attention inward, towards one’s self”, was further described in three subcategories: Sense of decreased status in society, the desire to keep aging at a distance, and contemplation of one’s own existence. The second category, “perceptions that draw attention outward, away from one’s self” was further described in the following four subcategories: caretaking of family members, involvement in social relationships, finding of deep meaning in animals and nature and engagement with society. In the discussion, the findings are further illuminated through comparisons with concepts such as maturity, wisdom and gerotranscendence, and reflections on the findings ‘relevance to a caring context follow. The conclusion suggests this study can provide knowledge that will allow healthcare providers to bridge the gap between generations in order to provide high-quality care. However, for a more profound caring dialogue, for example, about the end of life, a deeper analysis is required.

Midwives' lived experience of caring for new mothers with initial breastfeeding difficulties: A phenomenological study
- 2017

- Objective: The aim of this study is to obtain a deeper understanding of midwives’ lived experiences of caring for new mothers with initial breastfeeding difficulties.Methods: A reflective lifeworld approach was used. Six midwives were recruited from a hospital in western Sweden. Data were collected via individual lifeworld interviews and analysed using phenomenological methods.Results: The essential meaning can be described as a midwife’s wish to help new mothers reach their breastfeeding goals by trying to interact with them as individual women in unique breastfeeding situations. This wish constitutes a contradiction to the midwife’s own desire to succeed in enabling mothers to breastfeed and the perceived risk of failure as a midwife if the mothers decide not to breastfeed. This is further described by five constituents: striving to provide individualised care, collegial and personal responsibility both enables and prevents care, a struggle to be sufficient, an uphill struggle and mutual joy becomes the motivation to care.Conclusions: Caring for new mothers with initial breastfeeding difficulties is a balancing act between the midwife’s personal desire to succeed in enabling mothers to breastfeed, the mothers’ wishes, the infants’ needs, the importance of collective collegial competence and the limitations in the health care organisation. This makes the midwife’s efforts to provide individualised care frustrating and demanding as well as motivating.

Healthcare professionals' lived experiences of conversations with young adults expressing existential concerns
- 2019
-
Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0283-9318 .- 1471-6712. ; 33:1, s. 136-143

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Introduction: This paper describes first-line department healthcare professionals’ experiences of conversations with young adults (16–25 years) who express existential concerns. Existential concerns encompass questions about the meaning of life and the choices people must make, and they are sometimes expressed during the period in which a child is becoming an adult. Sometimes the transition to adulthood can be difficult, and many young adults seek support from people in first-line departments, such as primary care providers, youth guidance centre personnel and student health service employees in high schools and universities. Conversations in which existential concerns are recognised may be important for preventing mental illness in the future.Aim: The study aimed to describe healthcare professionals’ lived experiences of conversations with young adults who express existential concerns.Approach and methods: This qualitative study utilises thematic meaning analysis. Interviews were conducted with healthcare professionals working in first-line departments, and data were analysed based on the principles of reflective lifeworld research. The study followed ethical codes of conduct and conformed to the ethical guidelines adopted by the Swedish Research Council.Findings: The results are presented in three themes of meaning: searching for innermost thoughts requires being present, uncertainty about the unpredictable and awakening of one’s own existential concerns.Conclusions and implications: Healthcare professionals are affected when young adults express their existential concerns, and they need more support to strengthen their ability to stay present and create inviting atmospheres.

- Purpose: The aim of this study is to describe young women’s (16–25 years old) experiences of living with existential concerns for which they have sought support from healthcare professionals, teachers, family, or friends, among others.Methods: This phenomenological study is based on a reflective lifeworld research (RLR) approach. Nine young women were interviewed about their experience of living with existential concerns.Results: The results show the essential meaning of the phenomenon of “existential concerns” that can be described as living a life that is marked in a profound way by a feeling of being lost in an unknown terrain. To further understand the essential meaning, four constituents are described: the unpredictable body, longing for comprehension, playing a game, and longing to share one’s vulnerability.Conclusions: Young women with existential concerns are vulnerable, as they are profoundly influenced by these concerns. They have to navigate through daily life while trying to fit in and to make their situation comprehensible. These young women have a longing to share their existential concerns with a trustworthy person, while at the same time they fear revealing their existential concerns and risking being rejected by others. A lifeworld-led, caring science approach, intertwined with the results of the present study, has the potential to direct caring practice.

A qualitative study on the breastfeeding experience of mothers of preterm infants in the first 12 months after birth
- 2019

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Being a mother of a preterm infant (< 37 gestational weeks) puts the mother in a vulnerable andfragile situation wherein breastfeeding is an important part of becoming a mother and bonding with the infant.Nevertheless, the breastfeeding experience of mothers during the first year after a preterm birth has not been wellstudied. To develop professional caring and supporting relationships, it is important to address this knowledge gap.The aim of this study was to describe the breastfeeding experience of mothers of preterm infants from birth upuntil 12 months after birth.Methods: The data in this qualitative study are derived from a multicentre randomized controlled trial where 270mothers of preterm infants provided 496 written comments through questionnaires containing open-endedquestions. The questionnaires were sent to the mother three times during the first 12 months after birth. Athematic network analysis based on hermeneutical philosophy was used to analyse and interpret the resulting datato describe the mothers’ experiences of breastfeeding.Results: Three organizing themes, namely, “navigating smoothly,” “navigating with a struggle” and “navigating inambiguity” were revealed in the mothers’ narratives regarding their breastfeeding experiences during the first 12months after birth. These organizing themes were further interpreted as one global theme that was deemed “Ajourney to finding one’s unique way in breastfeeding.”Conclusion: Mothers of preterm infants are in an exposed and vulnerable situation when initiating breastfeedingduring the first year. This situation leads to a unique journey wherein each mother navigates through breastfeedingdepending on her individual situation. An awareness of the diversity of breastfeeding experiences may contributeto the provision of professional caring and supportive relationships.
