Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: To systematically analyse and synthesize studies investigating job satisfaction (including turnover and turnover intention) and wellbeing (physical, social and psychological including work stress, acculturation stress and sick leave) among migrant care workers in nursing homes.Design: An integrated review was conducted.Methods: Joanna Briggs Institute's manual guided the analysis of qualitative data (n = 31). Quantitative data (n = 17) were summarized and integrated with the qualitative findings.Results: Migrants described high job demands, limited control and social support, and stress possibly related to acculturation. Although, compared to natives (born in the country), inconsistent results were reported about wellbeing and job satisfaction, migrant care workers reported enjoying the relational aspects of work and feeling pride when providing care. A satisfying work environment for migrant care workers enables them enjoying working in elderly care with pride.Public Contribution: Help managers to promote an inclusive working life in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal number 8.

Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Body modification, self- or other-administered, invasive or non-invasive, lasting or temporary, has a long history and is conducted in many cultures and contexts. Advances in biotechnology, surgical techniques, opportunities for intervention and the rapid expansion of social media and their use have thus to some extent foregrounded and 'normalized' public discussions on body modification. Migration as the accompaniment of bodily intervention has been particularly relevant to women at whom many practices concerning bodily interventions are directed, not least in the context of genital re/constructive surgery. Both in the American and in the European contexts, 'medical necessity' as opposed to 'elective' or aesthetic bodily interventions is a key distinction that has been taken up extensively in the context of re/constructive surgery. Gender reassignment surgery involves the construction of embodied gender identities that either augment or establish the patient's preferred gender. The chapter also presents an overview of the key concepts discussed in this book.

Feeling like an untapped resource. Experiences of working life among nurses with ADHD and/or autism: An interview study
- 2024

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: ADHD and autism are common and increasing neurodevelopmental disorders in the world and also occur among nurses. However, almost nothing is known about nurses with these diagnoses. To promote high-quality care provision and well-being in the nursing workforce, it is important to discover more about these nurses. Therefore, in the present study, we aimed to describe how nurses with ADHD and/or autism experience their working life.Methods: The study was descriptive in design. Nurses were invited via Swedish Facebook groups targeting nurses. Semi-structured individual interviews were conducted with 17 nurses with ADHD and/or autism, online or by telephone. Data were analyzed using qualitative content analysis.Results: One overarching theme and seven subthemes emerged from the analysis. The theme “feeling like an untapped resource” reflected the subthemes: 1) Being passionate about one's job, 2) having strengths and talents to use in working life, 3) a stressful and disturbing work environment inhibits personal strengths, 4) managers show goodwill but lack knowledge and resources, 5) feeling appreciated but socially different among colleagues, 6) using a variety of strategies to facilitate working life and 7) toward an uncertain future.Conclusion: Nurses with ADHD and/or autism experience having abilities and talents that are useful in the nursing profession. However, they feel that the physical and organizational working conditions and lack of managerial support entail challenges that prevent them from making optimal use of their strengths.

Challenges in providing quality care for women with female genital cutting in Sweden : A literature review
- 2018

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Due to migration, health care needs in relation to female genital cutting (FGC) are increasingly emerging in European health care contexts, with Sweden being no exception. Recent estimates suggest that up to 38 000 girls and women with some form of FGC are living in Sweden, the majority from Somalia. Despite receiving high numbers of immigrants from FGC practising countries, health care services in many European countries seem largely unprepared in caring for circumcised patients. This literature review aims to identify challenges involved in providing quality care for circumcised women in Sweden. Two themes were identified; lacking technical skills and communication problems and ethnocentric attitudes. Lacking technical skills involved midwives and gynaecologists feeling insecure in how to technically deal with infibulated women during childbirth, something that often resulted in ad hoc solutions and improvisation. They related this insecurity to a lack of theoretical and practical training of FGC related health problems. In communication problems and ethnocentric attitudes both health care professionals and circumcised women reported facing difficulties in communicating about FGC, largely due to language barriers and perceived sensitivity of the issue. In conclusion, skills among health care professionals in Sweden caring for circumcised patients could be strengthened. This should be taken into consideration when planning midwifery and gynaecology curricula, and in providing in-service training for health care professionals likely to meet circumcised women in their practice.

Clitoral Reconstruction : Understanding Changing Gendered Health Care Needs in a Globalized Europe

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The migratory flows of recent decades that have exercised Europe as a socio-political and economic entity have produced extensive responses and interventions from European gender scholars. One relatively recent phenomenon in this context is the question of reparative surgical interventions, specifically clitoral reconstruction, in cases where women who have migrated to Europe have experienced female genital cutting. Clitoral reconstruction, which this article begins to explore, is recent in part because the related surgery was only established in the 1990s and is to date only practised in a few European countries, and in part because the research with women who ask for and have undergone such surgery has also only recently begun. This article is therefore an initial attempt to map some of the related terrain and to suggest further work that needs to be done in this increasingly important area.

"Damaged genitals"-Cut women's perceptions of the effect of female genital cutting on sexual function. A qualitative study from Sweden
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Frontiers in Sociology. - : Frontiers Media S.A.. - 2297-7775. ; 7

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Female genital cutting (FGC) is a traditional practice, commonly underpinned by cultural values regarding female sexuality, that involves the cutting of women's external genitalia, often entailing the removal of clitoral tissue and/or closing the vaginal orifice. As control of female sexual libido is a common rationale for FGC, international concern has been raised regarding its potential negative effect on female sexuality. Most studies attempting to measure the impact of FGC on women's sexual function are quantitative and employ predefined questionnaires such as the Female Sexual Function Index (FSFI). However, these have not been validated for cut women, or for all FGC-practicing countries or communities; nor do they capture cut women's perceptions and experiences of their sexuality. We propose that the subjective nature of sexuality calls for a qualitative approach in which cut women's own voices and reflections are investigated. In this paper, we seek to unravel how FGC-affected women themselves reflect upon and perceive the possible connection between FGC and their sexual function and intimate relationships. The study has a qualitative design and is based on 44 individual interviews with 25 women seeking clitoral reconstruction in Sweden. Its findings demonstrate that the women largely perceived the physical aspects of FGC, including the removal of clitoral tissue, to affect women's (including their own) sexual function negatively. They also recognized the psychological aspects of FGC as further challenging their sex lives and intimate relationships. The women desired acknowledgment of the physical consequences of FGC and of their sexual difficulties as "real" and not merely "psychological blocks".
