Co-production: long-term conditions
- 2019
-
Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- This seminar focuses on co-production in physiotherapy practice and the co-constructive learning processes in this professional development. Co-production between physiotherapists and persons with chronic disease exists, but needs to be further acknowledged. Examples and discussions show how coproduction can be used in clinical practice to improve quality of physiotherapy service and how persons with chronic diseases want to be involved. The seminar will define the concepts of co-production as well as co-constructive learning processes. Co-production is about involving patients as equals and this seminar will involve input from persons with patient experience. We will bring forward clinical and management perspectives of coproduction in physiotherapy and show how co-production can meet present and future demands of rehabilitation needs from the population in various contexts.

Education for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) : a mapping of SRHR-related content in higher education in health care, police, law and social work in Sweden
- 2019

Ingår i: Sex Education. - : Taylor & Francis. - 1468-1811 .- 1472-0825. ; 19:6, s. 720-729

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Knowledge of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) by health care, police, legal and social work professionals has been shown to be insufficient. This lack of competence is likely to affect the quality of services. The aim of this study was to describe SRHR indicators in educational programmes in health care, police, legal and social work higher education in Sweden. A text-based analysis was conducted of written material from all educational programmes in law, midwifery, nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy, police work, psychology, social work and undergraduate medicine (93 educational programmes at 27 universities and university colleges). Representation of different SRHR indicators varied, but most were poorly covered in the educational programmes. Existing educational programmes lack comprehensiveness in their coverage of SRHR and are unequal both within and between the professions and universities. This situation creates the risk of inequalities in SRHR competence and suggests that needs within this field may be unmet. There is an urgent need therefore to enhance the presence of SRHR in health care, social work and law enforcement education in Sweden.

Ethics and sexual health : Exploration of the ethical code of conduct for physiotherapists concerning sexual health in clinical practice
- 2019
-

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Physiotherapists have an important role in sexual health, but there are specific ethical considerations regarding sexuality and the practice of physiotherapy which require serious consideration. This article aims to illustrate how the professional ethical code of physiotherapy can serve as a tool for ethical clinical reasoning regarding sexual health in clinical physiotherapy practice. We analyse the ethical codes for physical therapy, in relation to a definition of sexual health and the declaration of sexual rights. The analysis outlines several ethical considerations crucial in dealing with sexual health, while also acknowledging the critical role of cultural context in any ethical analysis. We conclude that physiotherapists need to practise ethical reasoning and that the ethical code of physiotherapy can act as a point of departure for reflection on thought-provoking ethical dilemmas to improve the practice of physiotherapy and support clients’ overall health.

Fysisk aktivitet kan afhjælpe rejsningsproblemer
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Månedsskrift for almen praksis. - 1904-7002 .- 1904-9455. ; November

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Mænd med rejsningsproblemer søger ofte rådgivning og hjælp i almen praksis. I ni ud af ti tilfælde er organiske faktorer hovedårsagen til erektil dysfunktion, og vaskulær insufficiens er en hyppig patogenetisk mekanisme. Arterielt betinget rejsningsbesvær er tæt associeret med patientens livsstil, og dialog om livsstilsfaktorer er derfor essentiel for at fremme den generelle såvel som den seksuelle sundhed. Regelmæssig fysisk aktivitet anbefales som en både forebyggende og terapeutisk foranstaltning, og denne artikel formidler viden om effekten af fysisk aktivitet på forbedring af rejsningsevnen hos mænd med vaskulært betingede rejsningsproblemer.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to explore differences and similarities in health care students’ attitudes towards working with and communicating with patients about sexual health issues in their future professions. The aim was also to explore whether the students’ gender, age and future professions were influencing factors and whether there was a change in attitude depending on educational levels, gender, age and future professions. The study also aimed to explore the potential development of those differences and similarities in attitudes between health care students having achieved different levels of education and training in their future professions. A cross-sectional quantitative study was performed with an online survey distributed to nursing, occupational therapy and physiotherapy students. The students believed that they needed increased sexual health education and increased communication skills about sexual health. Gender and future profession are factors that significantly affect the attitudes of the students towards working with sexual health. Nursing and occupational therapy students have a more positive attitude towards addressing sexual health in their future professions than do physiotherapy students. Further research is needed in this field to improve competence in sexual health for all student groups, particularly physiotherapy students. Further research is also needed to explore the significance of gender regarding education in sexual health and attitudes towards working with sexual health.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Sexual health is an important issue in daily life, but little is known about occupational therapy (OT) students’ views on these matters.Aim: To explore occupational therapy students’ views on addressing sexual health in their future professional role.Material and methods: A descriptive qualitative study involving 37 OT students in 5 focus groups was performed and analyzed using content analysis.Results: Three categories: ‘Sexual health is part of occupational therapy and but not of the OT educational program’; ‘Need for knowledge to identify and intervene related to sexual health problems’; and finally, ‘Communication about sexual health—unknown, untried, but necessary’, formed the theme, ‘Willing to try, wanting to know more, and recognizing not only the difficulties and challenges but also the importance of sexual health in OT practice’.Conclusions: OT-students consider sexual health as part of OT-practice, but experience lack of knowledge of sexual health related to disease/disability, cultural diversity, and age and sexual orientation. Educational programs need to cover these matters, including how to address sexual health in OT-practice, to enhance OT’s future competence related to promotion of sexual health for clients.Significance: Knowledge on students’ views are vital to guide education on this important, rather neglected, area.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Despite the holistic intention of physiotherapy, sexual health receives insufficient attention by physiotherapists. Sexual health is an important part of general health and well-being, which is often negatively affected by physical and psychological disorders. There are several reasons why sexual health should be addressed by physiotherapists, and this article aims to describe the role of the physiotherapist as a promoter of good sexual health and implementation of sexual health in clinical physiotherapy.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background:Prosthetists and orthotists have a responsibility to direct treatment toward enabling their clients to perform desired activities and to facilitate participation of their clients in all areas of life. This may include provision of assistive technologies to help clients meet goals related to participation in sexual activities. To help prosthetic and orthotic students develop competencies in dealing with the sexual health of their future clients, it is necessary to generate knowledge of their own perceived competence and capacity.Objectives:To explore prosthetic and orthotic students’ attitudes and competence toward working with sexual health and to evaluate reliability and validity of the Students’ Attitudes Towards Addressing Sexual Health questionnaire.Study design:Cross-sectional study.Methods:Students enrolled in all three years of an undergraduate prosthetic and orthotic program were requested to complete the Students’ Attitudes Towards Addressing Sexual Health questionnaire (n = 65). Reliability and validity were evaluated using the content validity index and Cronbach’s alpha.Results:Students felt unprepared to talk about sexual health with future clients and thought that they would be embarrassed if they raised the issue. No differences were identified between students enrolled in each of the three years of the program and few differences were observed between male and female students. The content validity index values were low but improved as the students’ level of education increased. Internal consistency of the questionnaire was acceptable (α = 0.86).Conclusion:Prosthetic and orthotic students are unprepared to address sexual health issues with their future clients. There is a need to provide students with training related to sexual health issues.Clinical relevance:This study indicates the need for additional education of prosthetic and orthotic students in issues related to sexual health and how to address sexual health issues with clients. Results can be used to develop training programs for students and will serve to improve the sexual health of individuals who receive prosthetic and orthotic services.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Previous research regarding social work related to sexual health and sexuality shows the importance of competence in this field for social workers and therefore is a need to explore students´ attitudes, knowledge and view on working with sexual health in their future profession. This project aims to psychometrically test the questionnaire Students’ Attitudes towards Addressing Sexual Health (SA-SH) for students in social work. The results show good content validity, construct validity, internal consistency and intra-rater reliability for the SA-SH for students in social work (response rate of 91%, 242 students). The SA-SH can therefore be recommended to be used to measure attitudes, believed competence, and knowledge regarding sexual health among social work students, and to follow up educational interventions.
