- Background: Pain, stiffness and functional restriction of the joints are the main problems for patients with inflammatory rheumatic conditions. The majority of patients with rheumatic diseases have a need for daily intake of several drugs. Compliance in drug treatment is higher amongst patients that have been given drug information by a nurse at repeated occasions from the start of the treatment. In the development of patient information, it is essential to take advantage of patients' experiences.Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe variations in how patients with rheumatic diseases conceive drug information given by a rheumatology nurse.Methods: The study had a descriptive qualitative design with a phenomenographic approach. When employing such an approach, the main aim is to describe how a phenomenon is conceived by different individuals. Fifteen patients with rheumatic diseases who had received a new drug during a hospital visit were approached, agreed to take part in the study and were interviewed. Strategic sampling in terms of sex, age, marital status, education, rheumatic diseases, and illness duration, was carried out in order to achieve variation in conceptions of the phenomenon.Results: Three descriptive categories emerged: (1) Autonomy (own responsibility and participation), (2) Power (knowledge and motivation), (3) Security (trust, care and accessibility). Autonomy was based on the patients' experiences from taking their own responsibility and participation. Power meant to gain knowledge and motivation to take the drug. Security was to receive trust, experience care, and to have accessibility to a rheumatology nurse.Conclusion: Patients with rheumatic diseases experiences that drug information from a rheumatology nurse gives them autonomy, power and security. These could be essential for the patients to manage their daily life, where drug treatment is one part.Disclosure of Interest: None declared

- Background: Pain, stiffness and functional restriction of the joints are the main problems for many patients with inflammatory rheumatic conditions. When conventional drugs fail to delay the development of the disease, the patient may require biological treatment such as anti-TNF therapy. Some biological drugs are administered in the form of intravenous infusions and thus the patient is obliged to attend a clinic in order to receive his/her medication, which can affect everyday life as well as independence. It is therefore important to focus on the patient perspective.Aim: The aim of this study was to describe variations in how patients with rheumatic conditions conceive their dependence on a nurse for the administration of their intravenous anti-TNF therapy.Method: The study had a descriptive qualitative design with a phenomenographic approach. Interviews were conducted with 20 patients.Result: Three descriptive categories and seven sub-categories emerged: Dependence that affords security (encountering continuity, encountering competence and obtaining information); Dependence that creates involvement (being allowed influence and being given freedom); Dependence that invigorates (obtaining relaxation and encountering the environment).Conclusion: The patients had not reflected on the fact that they were dependent on a nurse for the administration of their intravenous anti-TNF therapy, which may be due to their possibility to influence the treatment. The patients' needs should constitute the basis for the nurse's role in the provision of care. Copyright (c) 2008 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.

Människor och makter : En introduktion till religionsvetenskap
- 2008
-
Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- Människor och makter är en introduktion till olika arbetssätt inom religionsvetenskap. I de olika bidragen författade av religionsvetenskapliga forskare verksamma i norden presenteras och diskuteras övergripande frågor kring perspektiv och förhållningssätt. Dessutom besvaras grundläggande frågor kring vilka olika sätt det finns att – praktiskt och teoretiskt – närma sig religiösa trossystem och praktiker inom ramen för ett vetenskapligt studium. Boken är en gratis e-publikation under en Creative Commons-licens. Framför allt är den tänkt som kurslitteratur eller kompletterande kurslitteratur för studenter i ämnet religionsvetenskap vid högskolor och universitet. Dock kan även en intresserad allmänhet här få en bild av religionsvetenskap som ett intellektuellt stimulerande, fascinerande och, inte minst, högaktuellt ämne i dagens samhälle.
