- Introduction: Good communication is crucial for safe and effective nursing care and is necessary in building interpersonal relationships with patients. The increase of global interactions in health care adds to the necessity of developing culturally competent communication in nursing. The purpose of the study was to gain a deeper understanding of interpersonal communication as experienced by nurses working in culturally diverse hospitals in India. Method: A descriptive qualitative method, analyzing 12 semistructured interviews conducted with nurses at two hospitals. Results: The study's themes focus on tools and techniques for working with culturally diverse patients and how to sustain the quality of care in diverse hospital settings. Language resources, language tools, and cultural knowledge were useful aids for nurses when communicating with transcultural patients. It helped the nurses gain confidence and foresee patient needs. Discussion: Highlighting transcultural interpersonal communication techniques within nursing offers a safer and more productive practice of nursing care.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- BackgroundIn the light of the growing number of refugees that the world has faced during the last years it is reasonable to suggest that the number with both physiological and mental health needs will raise and result in increased public health challenges. Physical activity with its well documented positive impact on both mental and physical health might be one way for refugees to promote health. The importance of investigating participation in physical activity in this group and the impact it might have on their health and wellbeing cannot be underestimated. Few studies exists in the field and therefore, this study aimed to investigate physical activity in relation to mental well-being, vitality, stress and sleep quality among newly arrived refugees in Sweden. MethodsThe study was based on the results from a survey, conducted in 2015 - 2016 among newly arrived adult refugees who spoke Arabic, Pashto, Somali or Dari, participated in a mandatory public integration support programme in the Scania region of Sweden and agreed to participate in the survey. Ultimately 681 participants completed the survey (a response rate of 39,5%). ResultsWe found a significant association between physical activity and mental well-being, vitality, stress and sleep quality among newly arrived refugees.ConclusionsNewly arrived refugees need to be informed about the importance of prioritising physical activity for their health and wellbeing, regardless of their external circumstances, and supported in their attempts to do so.Key messages There is a significant association between physical activity and mental well-being, vitality, stress and sleep quality among newly arrived refugees.Newly arrived refugees need to be informed about the importance of prioritising physical activity for their health and wellbeing, and supported in their attempts to do so.

Ingår i: Frontiers In Public Health. - : Frontiers Media S.A.. - 2296-2565. ; 8
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: Little is known about physical activity among newly arrived refugees and what impact physical activity might have on their health, as measured by mental wellbeing, vitality, stress and sleep quality. Thus, this study sought to investigate the relationship between physical activity and wellbeing among refugees who were newly arrived in Sweden. Methods: The present study was based on the results from a survey, conducted in 2015-2016 among newly arrived adult refugees who spoke Arabic, Pashto, Somali or Dari, participated in a mandatory public integration support programme in the Scania region of Sweden and agreed to participate in the survey. Ultimately 681 participants completed the survey (a response rate of 39.5%). Results: We found a significant association between physical activity and mental wellbeing, vitality, stress and sleep quality among newly arrived refugees. Conclusions: Newly arrived refugees need to be informed about the importance of prioritizing physical activity for their health and wellbeing, regardless of their external circumstances, and supported in their attempts to do so.

Rapport #1 PHED-kommissionen för framtiden för hälso-och sjukvård efter Covid-19 : Ojämlikhet i samhället gör oss sårbara för pandemier
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Under hösten 2020 organiserade PHED-projektet i ett samarbete mellan Malmö och Lunds universitet en kommission och bjöd in till muntliga och skriftliga vittnesmål om framtiden för hälso- och sjukvården efter covid-19. Efter att initialt ha fokuserat på Region Skåne, utvidgades diskussionerna till att omfatta ett bredare nationellt fokus liksom internationella jämförelser med Frankrike och Storbritannien. Undersökningen omfattade vittnesmål från såväl yrkesverksamma inom hälso- och sjukvård som tjänstemän, civilsamhället och forskare. Överlag framställde vittnesmålen covid-19 som både en tragedi och ett lärotillfälle som skulle kunna stärka samhället. Flera centrala rekommendationer för att skydda och förbättra folkhälsan togs fram.

Report #1 PHED-commission on the future of healthcare post covid-19 : social inequity makes us vulnerable to pandemics
- 2021
-
Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- During Fall/Autumn 2020, the PHED project between Malmö and Lund Universities organised a Commission inviting oral and written testimony on the future of healthcare post Covid-19. Focused initially on the Scania region, the discussions expanded to include a wider Swedish national focus, and international comparison with France and the United Kingdom. The inquiry included testimony from healthcare practitioners, civil servants, civil society, as well as researchers. Overall, the testimony pointed to Covid-19 as both a tragedy and a learning moment by which to strengthen society. It identifies several key recommendations for protecting and improving public health.

The Precision Health and Everyday Democracy (PHED) Project : Protocol for a Transdisciplinary Collaboration on Health Equity and the Role of Health in Society
- 2020
-
Ingår i: JMIR Research Protocols. - : JMIR Publications. - 1929-0748. ; 9:11

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Background: The project “Precision Health and Everyday Democracy” (PHED) is a transdisciplinary partnership that combines a diverse range of perspectives necessary for understanding the increasingly complex societal role played by modern health care and medical research. The term “precision health” is being increasingly used to express the need for greater awareness of environmental and genomic characteristics that may lead to divergent health outcomes between different groups within a population. Enhancing awareness of diversity has parallels with calls for “health democracy” and greater patient-public participation within health care and medical research. Approaching health care in this way goes beyond a narrow focus on the societal determinants of health, since it requires considering health as a deliberative space, which occurs often at the banal or everyday level. As an initial empirical focus, PHED is directed toward the health needs of marginalized migrants (including refugees and asylum seekers, as well as migrants with temporary residency, often involving a legally or economically precarious situation) as vulnerable groups that are often overlooked by health care. Developing new transdisciplinary knowledge on these groups provides the potential to enhance their wellbeing and benefit the wider society through challenging the exclusions of these groups that create pockets of extreme ill-health, which, as we see with COVID-19, should be better understood as “acts of self-harm” for the wider negative impact on humanity.Objective: We aim to establish and identify precision health strategies, as well as promote equal access to quality health care, drawing upon knowledge gained from studying the health care of marginalized migrants.Methods: The project is based in Sweden at Malmö and Lund Universities. At the outset, the network activities do not require ethical approval where they will not involve data collection, since the purpose of PHED is to strengthen international research contacts, establish new research within precision strategies, and construct educational research activities for junior colleagues within academia. However, whenever new research is funded and started, ethical approval for that specific data collection will be sought.Results: The PHED project has been funded from January 1, 2019. Results of the transdisciplinary collaboration will be disseminated via a series of international conferences, workshops, and web-based materials. To ensure the network project advances toward applied research, a major goal of dissemination is to produce tools for applied research, including information to enhance health accessibility for vulnerable communities, such as marginalized migrant populations in Sweden.Conclusions: There is a need to identify tools to enable the prevention and treatment of a wide spectrum of health-related outcomes and their link to social as well as environmental issues. There is also a need to identify and investigate barriers to precision health based on democratic principles.

Kartläggning av hälsa, levnadsvanor, sociala relationer, arbetsmarknad och boendemiljö bland arabisktalande nyanlända inom etableringen : Delrapport från MILSA 2.0
- 2020
-
Rapport (populärvet., debatt m.m.)abstract
- BakgrundAtt tvingas fly är en påfrestande och svår process att genomleva. Att efter flykten etablera sig i mottagarlandet medför ytterligare utmaningar. Vägen till att etablera sig i det nya samhället är ofta lång och kantad av svårigheter. Att lära sig språket, att förstå det svenska samhället samt utmaningar med svårigheter att validera diplom och kompetens är några av de svårigheter nyanlända upplever under den första tiden i landet. En ytterligare vanligt förekommande utmaning är att finna ett stabilt och tryggt boende. En förutsättning för att överhuvudtaget kunna bemöta dessa svårigheter är det egna hälsokapitalet. Hur ser hälsokapitalet ut bland dem som varit på flykt från krig och oroligheter och är det tillräckligt starkt för att hantera allt som möter individen under etableringen? I hälsokapitalet bör alla hälsorelaterade faktorer innefattas, vilka på ett eller annat sätt berör det mänskliga livet. För att främja etablering och inkludering av nyanlända individer är det viktigt att ha en grundläggande förståelse för den situation som denna grupp av nytillkomna invånare befinner sig i vad gäller hälsa och dess olika riskfaktorer.SyfteSyftet med undersökningen har varit att studera hälsa och hälsorelaterade faktorer bland vuxna nyanlända i Skåne som befinner sig inom etableringen i Skåne.Material och metodAlla vuxna nyanlända arabisktalande individer som deltagit i samhällsorientering genom Partnerskap Skåne har bjudits in till att delta i undersökningen. Insamlingsperioden har varit mellan maj månad 2018 till och med mars månad 2019. Mätinstrumentet har utvecklats på svenska för att sedan översättas till arabiska. Enkäten baserades på frågor som fokuserar på bland annat olika sjukdomar, vårdbehov, migrationsspecifika frågor, boende, sociala relationer, våld, levnadsvanor samt sexuell hälsa. Frågeformuläret delades ut i form av pappersenkät inom ramen för samhällsorienteringen av samhälls- och hälsokommunikatörer. Totalt antal svarande blev 315 vilket innebär en svarsfrekvens på 25,3 %.9SlutsatsResultatet visade att en stor andel migranter led av antingen övervikt eller fetma och en ganska stor andel av dessa ansåg att deras vikt ökat sedan flykten till Sverige. Drygt var tionde nyanländ upplevde sitt hälsotillstånd vara dåligt eller mycket dåligt och var tredje person ansåg det vara någorlunda. Det var nära hälften som upplevde en förbättring i självupplevd hälsa efter att de fått uppehållstillstånd medan nästan var femte person upplevde en försämring. Nästan varannan nyanländ hade varit i behov av läkarvård under de senaste tre månaderna innan undersökningen genomfördes men inte sökt vård. Drygt var tredje nyanländ hade en risk för psykisk ohälsa och det var en högre andel män än kvinnor som hade denna risk. Mer än hälften av de nyanlända utförde antingen ingen fysisk aktivitet alls eller under mindre än 30 minuter per vecka. Majoriteten av de tillfrågade ansåg inte att det går att lita på människor runtomkring. En betydande del saknade ett socialt nätverk när det gällde att kunna skaffa ett arbete och hälften saknade kontakt med arbetsgivare och nästan var tredje hade svårt att få sin utbildning validerad.
