- We compared online distributed information provided to patients with cancer in Scandinavian countries through the lens of governmentality. A secondary comparative qualitative analysis was conducted. Discourses in online patient information showed differences in governmentality techniques across the countries: Norway used a paternalist approach, Denmark an educative approach, and Sweden an individualistic approach and expected the patients to make the “right” decisions. Online information for patients with cancer in Denmark and Norway showed high professional and health care system involvement, whereas in Sweden, there was high patient involvement. There was almost no use of the person-centered approach among the online discourses

The reasonable patient : A Swedish discursive construction
- 2021
-
Ingår i: Nursing Inquiry. - : Wiley. - 1320-7881 .- 1440-1800. ; 28:3
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this study was to analyse how the patient is constructed and socially positioned in Swedish patient information. Corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis methodology was utilised on a sample of 56 online patient information texts about cancer containing a total of 126,711 words. The findings show an overarching discourse of informed consent guided by specific features to produce a patient norm that we name “the reasonable patient”, who is receptive to arguments, emotionally restrained and makes decisions based on information. Through the discourse of informed consent, the norm of the reasonable patient emerges, apparently to even out the imbalance of power between patient and professional, but in reality, more likely to construct a patient who is easily controlled and managed. When the self-responsibility towards health is incorporated into the everyday domestic spaces via digital health technologies, the ideas and concepts of the patient role need to be reconsidered based on these new conditions. We conclude that it is important for nursing researchers to broaden the research on patients to include the relationship of power created through language. This study demonstrates both methodological and empirical possibilities to do so

Didactics in school-age educare centres : An unexplored field but with distinctive views
- 2022
-
Ingår i: Social Sciences & Humanities Open. - : Elsevier. - 2590-2911. ; 6:1
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The background for this study is the lack of well-defined and distinct theories on didactics in school-age educare centres (SAECs). Therefore, in this study, we investigated and compared perceptions among nine professional groups employed in the field. The participants included 390 females and 102 males in Sweden, and their beliefs about didactics in SAECs were measured through a questionnaire consisting of 24 items on a 4-point Likert scale, which researchers and those related to the didactics in SAECs proposed. Descriptive statistics presented an overall picture of the various claims on a group level. The Mann–Whitney test investigated the distinctions between occupational categories. The results indicated that most of the items were relevant. Furthermore, the pupils' orientation was not taken into account enough. Didactics should be translated into SAEC practices but the transfer into practice remains unclear. Many respondents appeared to agree with all of the items to varying degrees, but least that SAEC didactics should not be related to school activities. An important result was that principals' perceptions diverged largely from those of other groups, especially regarding the relationship of didactics to the school's activities. The results partly explain that different professions the SAECs affect see the role of didactics differently.

Didaktik i fritidshem ur svenska rektorers perspektiv : särskiljande föreställningar möter en pedagogisk praktik
- 2023

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Syftet med den här studien är att bidra med kunskap om svenska rektorers upp-fattningar om didaktikbegreppets innebörd i fritidshemmet. En tidigare studie har visat särskiljande uppfattningar hos rektorer i relation till andra aktörer inom fritidshemmet, varför behovet av en fördjupad studie av rektorers uppfattningar är relevant. Det empiriska materialet består av en webenkät besvarad av 51 rektorer omfattande öppna och slutna svarsalternativ. Det har analyserats med inferentiell och deskriptiv statistik samt innehållsanalys. Studien synliggör upp-fattningar rektorer har om innehållet i begreppet didaktik i fritidshem. Rektorer anser sig generellt sett ha goda kunskaper om begreppet, men deras beskrivningar av begreppet är relativt knapphändiga. Inga tydliga samband föreligger mellan rektorernas svar och deras ålder eller år inom yrket. Vidare visar resultatet få skill-nader mellan dem som anser sig ha goda kunskaper inom fältet och dem som an-ser sig ha mindre kunskaper. Den kvalitativa analysen av svaren genererade några olika teman om didaktik och undervisning med viss anknytning till didaktisk teoribildning. Slutsatsen är dock att rektorerna inte beskriver begreppet didaktik ingående eller mångfacetterat, men att det i viss mån sammanlänkas med under-visning, särskilt i skolmiljön. Gällande undervisningsbegreppet gör rektorerna mer explicita uttalanden, men dessa kan tolkas som tydligare länkade till rektors-rollen i grundskolan. Inga spår av didaktik i relation till fritidshemmets omsorgs-perspektiv kan skönjas. Ska rektorer leda verksamheten i fritidshemmet på ett framgångsrikt sätt krävs en samsyn mellan dem och personalen om hur upp-dragen ska förstås och genomföras. Där spelar didaktiken en avgörande roll. Av detta skäl ser vi behovet av intensifierad forskning på fältet som stort.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The purpose of this paper is to focus on approaches that could build a didactic framework for School-Age Educare Centres (SAECs). As a theoretical basis and a research field, didactics exists within many disciplines (e.g., education in natural sciences and preschool). This is not the case within the SAEC. While a lot of research has been devoted to subject didactics, there is a lack of research on didactics in SAECs, and the marginal research that exists shows a fragmented picture of what it could consist of. However, researchers in the field agree that didactics in SAECs is something else than subject didactics and differs from general didactics. Our aim in this paper is to suggest and discuss how a didactic framework in SAECs could be conceptualized with an intention in the near future to find the specific didactics that distinguishes the work in SAECs. The proposed design involves theory building/testing with a bottom-up perspective and various data collection methods. Because building a didactic theory for SAECs is the intention, the research process will take informed grounded theory (GT) as its methodological starting point. The empirical material will be related to the two dominant didactic frameworks: the German and the Anglo-Saxon. This framework will also be critically reviewed in relation to the activities in SAECs. The results will contribute important knowledge to the development of a relevant and useful didactic theory for SAECs. The practical implications are directly relevant to every stakeholder affected by the SAECs’ activities: policy actors, staff, students, and researchers. In the long term, we will be able to find a legitimate platform for didactics in SAECs, which will have concrete importance for professionals and researchers in particular.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- Didaktik som teori och forskningsområde i relation till undervisning är vedertaget inom många discipliner (exempelvis naturvetenskap och förskolepedagogik) men inte för fritidspedagogik. Trots detta ska studenter på grundlärarprogrammet med inriktning fritidshem uppfylla ett av examensmålen som explicit uttrycker kunskaper om didaktik och ämnesdidaktik inom det fritidspedagogiska området. Därtill är forskningen ganska osynlig. Denna studie lyfter fram hur didaktik explicit behandlats i både vetenskapliga artiklar och forskningsbaserad litteratur med inriktning mot fritidshem. Syftet med litteraturöversikten är att a) identifiera och beskriva fokus och inriktning i åren 2000–2021, b) jämföra, diskutera och problematisera resultaten, samt c) peka ut framtida forskningsinriktningar. Metoden är en systematisk litteraturöversikt (SLR) med en kvalitativ och kvantitativ innehållsanalys. Resultaten visar att intresset för och med-vetenheten om didaktikbegreppet har vuxit fram de senaste tio åren och att de allra flesta texterna utgår från en kvalitativ ansats med diskuterande, argumenterande och reflekt-erande analyser. Ett mindre antal studier bygger på empiriska underlag. Innehålls-mässigt fångar studierna några av de traditionella didaktiska begreppen såsom läraren, ledarskap, ämnesdidaktik, men även olika teoretiska utgångspunkter. Användningen av begreppet didaktik i fritidshemmet pekar på att området behöver utvecklas, att didaktik-begreppet används i förhållande till fritidshemmets verksamheter och att det nyttjas som tolkningsram för empiriskt material. Studien påvisar förvisso medvetenheten om olika didaktiska aspekter, men det saknas studier som införlivar den didaktiska komplexi-teten.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to describe health promotion activities accomplished within a project and to measure the conditions for sustainable health within the case organizations. Also, the purpose is to test a previously developed measurement approach, which measures health-related quality management.Design/methodology/approach – A health promotion project currently being carried out at eight Swedish elementary schools has been studied. In earlier research a measurement approach was developed to measure health-related quality management. The approach was handed out to the co-workers at the eight different schools in the initial stage of the project. The leaders at the schools were informed of the results of their own school and the mean value of all the eight schools. The consistency and reliability of the statements within the approach was tested.Findings – A description of health promotion activities accomplished and planned within the project can be found. The results from the measurement of the health-related quality management in the eight schools are presented, together with the mean score of all schools. The test of the measurement approach is presented and discussed.Originality/value – A description of health promotion activities can help managers and project leaders to plan and carry out valuable health promotion activities in their striving for both sustainable health among the co-workers and efficient organizations. This measurement approach can help managers and project leaders to measure the effects of the health promotion activities

Change of the Quality Management culture through health-promotion activities?

Ingår i: Total Quality Management and Business Excellence. - London : Informa UK Limited. - 1478-3363 .- 1478-3371. ; 25:11-12, s. 1236-1246

- There is great demand for workplace health-promotion programmes that improve co-worker health and provide a return on investment, which is due to the continuous escalation of care costs and the prioritisation of co-worker health by businesses. Early research found that organisations that have achieved good co-worker health with low sickness absence through their conscious and well-structured work were also working according to Quality Management. Health-promotion interventions are possible in every organisation, but before starting a health-promotion programme it is necessary to analyse the organisation and especially its culture. The purpose of this paper is to measure in what way health-promoting activities influence the Quality Management culture, particularly the health-related values 'Leadership commitment' and 'Participation of everybody'. A comparison between the Quality Management culture before starting a health-promotion project and the results a year later is presented. The results show that health-promotion activities do not affect the Quality Management culture, at least not from a year perspective. On the other hand, the results show that health-promotion activities can affect co-workers' perception of their health. © 2014 © 2014 Taylor & Francis.

When nursing education becomes political : Norm-critical perspectives in a campus-based clinical learning environment
- 2023
-
Ingår i: Nursing Inquiry. - : Wiley. - 1320-7881 .- 1440-1800.
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Nursing education is in the process of incorporating critical thinking, social justice, and health inequality perspectives into educational structures, aspiring to help nursing students develop into professional nurses prepared to provide equal care. Norm criticism is a pedagogical philosophy that promotes social justice. This qualitative case study aimed to gain an understanding of and elaborate on an educational development initiative in which norm criticism was incorporated into the composition of a new campus‐based clinical learning environment for nursing education. By analyzing documents and interviews with the help of reflexive thematic analysis three themes were generated: “Intention to educate beyondnursing education,” “Educating in alliance with society,” and “The educative ambiguity of the Clinical Learning Centre. ”The case study indicates that the incorporation of norm criticism into a campus‐based clinical learning environment may encourage nursing students to evolve social skills for nursing practice that support health equality within healthcare. By collaborating with society, nursing education can considerably improve its educational frameworks in alignment with societal demands. However, the inclusion of norm criticism in a setting such as a campus‐based clinical learning environment entails a clash with established institutionalized norms and being perceived as too proximate to politics.
