Samlingsverk (redaktörskap) (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- I Arbetsterapi för barn och ungdom har 28 ledande experter inom arbetsterapi bidragit med gedigen kunskap och klinisk erfarenhet av barn och ungdom med funktionsnedsättningar.I boken finns ett tydligt fokus på aktiviteter i barnens vardag men även i förhållande till hälsa, samhälle och transition från barn till vuxenlivet. Arbetsterapi för barn och ungdom tar även upp aktiviteter kring lek, skola och fritid samt hur barn lär sig nya aktiviteter, och hur de kan träna och kompensera för nedsatt funktion. Kommunikation, kognitivt stöd och förmågan att använda sina händer behandlas också.
Boken representerar forskningsläget för svensk arbetsterapi inom området barn och ungdom. Den visar att det finns en bredd i den pågående forskningen men också att det behövs mer kunskap. Arbetsterapi för barn och ungdom riktar sig till arbetsterapeuter inom grundutbildning och fortbildning samt till verksamma arbetsterapeuter och andra yrkesgrupper som möter funktionsnedsatta barn och ungdomar.

- Background Guidance during Meals is a two-week inpatient intervention undertaken at the Folke Bernadotte Regional Habilitation Centre, Sweden, to help parents deal with children's eating problems. Parents are given advice about medical and/or behavioural reasons for food selectivity and possible treatment strategies. Aims To identify the way parents handle mealtimes and associated difficulties and investigate parents' opinion on children's progress using Guidance during Meals. Method A questionnaire, consisting of 30 statements and answered by 41 parents, was used to investigate parents' opinions regarding the success of the intervention in altering their child's eating habits at home. Findings Most parents thought that the intervention had helped them and their child, by teaching them how to guide their child during mealtimes, what made it easier for their child to eat, and how to communicate with their child in an encouraging way. Most children retained their increased interest in eating once back at home. These results were not dependent on time of onset of eating problems, number of intervention periods, length of time since the intervention, or gastrostomy. Conclusion The Guidance during Meals intervention helps parents develop knowledge about factors that hinder or facilitate eating in their child and tools that can help their child finish meals, and gives them a sense of hope that positive change can occur.

- Background Due to an outbreak of extended-spectrum beta-lactamase (ESBL)-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, the routine use of fluoroquinolone prophylaxis was questioned. As a result, this study was conducted with the aim to evaluate the impact of ciprofloxacin-prophylaxis on the use of broad-spectrum antibioctics and anti-mycotics. Methods A cohort of 139 consecutive patients with acute leukaemia treated with remission-inducing induction chemotherapy between 2004-2012 at the Department of Haematology in Uppsala University Hospital was analysed. Results Fifty-three patients (38%) received broad-spectrum antibiotics at the initiation of chemotherapy and were not eligible for prophylaxis. Of the remaining patients, the initiation of broad-spectrum antibiotics was delayed by 3 days in those receiving ciprofloxacin prophylaxis (n = 47) compared with those receiving no prophylaxis (n = 39). The median duration of systemic antibiotic treatment was 6 days shorter in patients receiving ciprofloxacin prophylaxis (12 vs 18 days; p = 0.0005) and the cumulative (total) median days on systemic antibiotic treatment was shortened by 8 days (15 vs 23 days, p = 0.0008). Piperacillin/tazobactam (p = 0.02), carbapenems (p = 0.05) and empiric broad-spectrum antifungals (p < 0.01) were used significantly less often when ciprofloxacin prophylaxis was given. Conclusions Ciprofloxacin prophylaxis delayed empiric therapy by 3 days and reduced overall antibiotic use in this study. These benefits must be evaluated vs the risks of development of resistant bacterial strains, making fluoroquinolone prophylaxis an open question for debate.

- The United Nations' position is that digital access is a matter involving equality between groups of people, the securing of democratic rights, and equal opportunities for all citizens. This study investigates digital equality in school and leisure between young people with and without disabilities. A cross-sectional design with group comparisons was applied. Participants were young people (10–18 years of age) with disabilities (n=389) and a reference group in about the same ages. Data were collected by a survey focusing on access to and engagement in ICT activities in school and during leisure time. The results demonstrated young people with disabilities had restricted participation in computer use in educational activities, in comparison to young people in general. During leisure time young people with disabilities had a leading position compared to the reference group with respect to internet use in a variety of activities. Beneficial environmental conditions at home (and the reverse in schools) are discussed as parts of the explanation for the differing engagement levels at home and in school, and among young people with disabilities and young people in general.Conclusion: Schools need to prioritise use of ICT by young people with disabilities.

- The overall objective of the project wearITmed, Wearable sensors in smart textiles, is to develop a novel wearable sensor system demonstrator. This sensor system aims to monitor symptoms of neurological disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and stroke. The wearable sensor system demonstrator, including both integrated gyros/accelerometers and textile sensors, is useful for the evaluation of clinically relevant movement patterns and other physiological parameters, and further to establish disease discriminating and treatment responsive objective variables. The work presented in this paper is focused on ensuring that the wearable sensor system can be cleaned and washed without first removing the electronics. The work includes three main areas; the adhesion and architecture, the molding and finally the washing test performance. Standard wettability and peel tests (Volvo Standard STD 185–0001) were performed on standard test board IPC-B-5 and IPC-9202 test vehicle for selecting the best adhesive and encapsulation materials in form of an epoxy (Epotek 302–3M) and a medical approved silicone (Nusil MED-6019). The molded components were washtested (Standard SS-EN ISO 6330:2012) followed by testing of the electrical resistance (Standard IPC-9202). As a result a total of 22 garments were produced with four individually mounted boards in each garment. The tests showed that the wearable sensors passed the washing tests and were still functional after 10 repeated washing cycles without any change or degradation in resistance or sign of electrical failure. The wearable electronics therefore meets the requirements of being simultaneously resistant to; water, temperature (40 °C), chemical detergents and dynamic forces.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- The service delivery process (SDP) of assistive technology devices (ATDs) is attracting interest, as theprovision of ATDs is critical for the independence and participation in society of individuals withdisabilities. The purpose of the current study was to investigate what impact the SDP has on satisfactionwith ATDs in individuals with disabilities in relation to everyday activities. A systematic literature reviewwas conducted, which resulted in 53 articles included. The results showed that there are factors inalmost all the different steps of the SDP that affect the satisfaction with of the devices, which can lead tounderutilization and abandonment of ATDs. Only a few studies have been conducted with a designrobust enough to generalize the results; therefore, more research is needed. Therefore, the conclusion isthe SDP as a whole contributes to the satisfaction with and usability of ATDs in individuals with disabilityin relation to achieving the desired goals of participation in everyday activities, for the articles includedmust be deemed as moderate. A client-centred approach in the process is advocated, and was found tobe an important factor for an effective SDP and satisfied users.

- INTRODUCTION: Young adults with spina bifida often have cognitive difficulties. As a result, young adults with disabilities are facing challenges with respect to housing, education, relationships and vocation which increases risk of unemployment.AIM: The aim is to describe a method to develop a smartphone application together with young adults with spina bifida as an assistive technology for cognition.METHOD: In a Participatory Action Research approach, young adults (n = 5) with spina bifida were individually interviewed with Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM). The participants' restrictions in everyday life activities, identified by COPM, were discussed in a focus group formed by the young adults and the result was analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Developing the application the principles of Human-Centered-Design and Universal Design was followed.RESULT: An application made for iOS with a focus on usability and worthiness, done by creating a clear and intuitive interface, with a calendar function useful for example to initiate and plan social activities was developed.CONCLUSION: The method seems useful when the outcome from the project, a beta version of an application for iOS Smartphone, was achieved in agreement with the participants. The study highlight the importance of involving individuals with disabilities when developing smartphone applications.

- AimThis study compared daily activity energy expenditure (AEE) in children with cerebral palsy with a control group and investigated whether the children achieved healthy levels of physical activity. MethodsWe enrolled eight children with bilateral cerebral palsy, from eight to 10years of age, and a group of controls matched for age and gender. For three days, physical activity was simultaneously measured by accelerometers and self-reports using a diary. The daily AEE results were compared between groups and methods. The number of children that achieved healthy physical activity levels in each group was explored. ResultsChildren with cerebral palsy had significantly lower daily AEE, as measured by accelerometers, than the controls, and they did not achieve the healthy moderate to heavy physical activity level defined in the Nordic Nutrition Recommendations. Self-reports using the diaries resulted in an overestimation of physical activity compared with the ankle accelerometer measurements in both groups. ConclusionOur investigation of physical activity in children with cerebral palsy and controls using accelerometers and a diary found low levels of daily AEE and physical activity, and these results were most prominent in the group with cerebral palsy. The diaries overestimated physical activity in both groups.

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: In rehabilitation, assistive technology (AT) is prescribed in order to improve activity and participation for individuals with disability. Research shows that many devices are not used to the extent or to the benefits expected. The aim of this study was to compare the presence of environmental barriers to participation and facilitators for AT use and study the relation between barriers and AT use in three different types of AT devices.Methods: A cross-sectional survey was conducted. Inclusion criteria were: ≥1 year experience as user of myoelectric prosthesis (MEP), powered mobility device (PMD), or assistive technology for cognition (ATC) and age 20-90 years. The survey contained the Swedish version of Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental Factors and a study-specific questionnaire focusing on facilitating factors. Overall, 156 participants answered the survey. Non-parametric tests were used for comparisons.Results: Barriers to participation were significantly lowest in MEP users (md=0.12; p<0.001), and highest in ATC users (md=1.56; p<0.001-p=0.048). A positive correlation between fewer barriers and higher use of MEP was seen (r=0.30, p=0.038). Compared to the other groups, users of ATC with more use reported more barriers for participation. The greatest barriers to participation were: Natural environment, Surroundings, and, Information. Most support came from Relatives and Professionals. Conclusions: There is a difference in how users of different AT devices experience the environment in terms of barriers for participation and facilitators for use. The environment may facilitate AT use but barriers in the environment can still restrict participation in AT users. Future research should comprise the influence of AT use on participation.

- The aim was to compare the presence of environmental barriers to participation and facilitators for assistive technology (AT) use and study the relation between barriers and AT use in three different AT devices. A cross-sectional survey was conducted. Inclusion criteria were ?one year of experience as a user of myoelectric prosthesis (MEP), powered mobility device (PMD), or assistive technology for cognition (ATC) and age 20-90 years. Overall, 156 participants answered the Swedish version of the Craig Hospital Inventory of Environmental Factors and a study-specific questionnaire on facilitating factors. Non-parametric tests were used for comparisons. Barriers to participation were lowest in MEP users (md = 0.12; p < 0.001), and highest in ATC users (md = 1.56; p < 0.001) with the least support for AT use (p < 0.001 - p = 0.048). A positive correlation between fewer barriers and higher use of MEP was seen (r = 0.30, p = 0.038). The greatest barriers to participation were Natural environment, Surroundings and Information, and the most support came from Relatives and Professionals. Support, training and education are vital in the use of AT. These factors may lead to a more sustained and prolonged use of AT and may enable increased participation. Future research should focus on interventions that meet the needs of people with cognitive disabilities.

Validity of the school setting interview for students with special educational needs in regular high school - a Rasch analysis
- 2018
-
Ingår i: Health and Quality of Life Outcomes. - : BIOMED CENTRAL LTD. - 1477-7525. ; 16

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Participation in education is a vital component of adolescents everyday life and a determinant of health and future opportunities in adult life. The School Setting Interview (SSI) is an instrument which assesses student-environment fit and reflects the potential needs for adjustments to enhance students participation in school activities. The aim of the study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the SSI for students with special educational needs in regular high school. Methods: A sample of 509 students with special educational needs was assessed with the SSI. The polytomous unrestricted Rasch model was used to analyze the psychometric properties of the SSI regarding targeting, model fit, differential item functioning (DIF), response category functioning and unidimensionality. Results: The SSI generally confirmed fit to assumptions of the Rasch model. Reliability was acceptable (0.73) and the SSI scale was able to separate students into three different levels of student-environment fit. DIF among gender was detected in item "Remember things" and in item "Homework" DIF was detected among students with or without diagnosis. All items had disordered thresholds. The SSI demonstrated unidimensionality and no response dependence was present among items. Conclusion: The results suggest that the SSI is valid for use among students with special educational needs in order to provide and evaluate environmental adjustments. However, the items with the detected DIF and the SSI rating scale with its disordered thresholds needs to be further scrutinized.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was twofold: (1) to identify factors associated with a high level of accommodation needs in school activities among students with special educational needs (SEN) in regular upper secondary education; and (2) to investigate the extent to which schools have met students’perceived accommodation needs. Accommodation needs and their provision in school activ- ities were assessed with the School Setting Interview for 484 students with SEN. Students’mean age was 17.3 years and 50% did not have a diagnosis. A logistic regression analysis revealed that a high level of school absence, studying a vocational pro- gramme, and a neuropsychiatric disorder were associated with a high level of accommodation needs. In the majority of school activities, about 50% of students had not received any accommo- dation despite an experienced need for support. About 30% of students perceived a need for support even though they had been provided with accommodations, and around 25% stated they were satisfied with received accommodations. Regular upper secondary school students with SEN are insufficiently provided with accom- modations to satisfactorily participate in education. Specific stu- dent characteristics, e.g. high level of school absence, should receive special attention when investigating and accommodating students’needs for support in school activities.
