- 2019

- AIM: Perinatal death is often regarded as a critical incident for the healthcare personnel involved. How healthcare personnel respond to traumatic events in their work is a function of their level of awareness or exposure to the incident, as well as their genuine expectations, support, and trust. The aim of this study was to explore coping strategies of Norwegian healthcare professionals including midwifes, obstetricians, and assistant nurses when faced with perinatal death in a clinical setting. METHOD: Midwives, obstetricians, and assistant nurses in two public hospitals in Norway participated in an in-depth and semi-structured interview. The data was analyzed using Kvale's approach, which involves condensing and thematic analysis. FINDINGS: The results are divided into three categories with eight subcategories. Having the support of one's colleagues was described as an important factor for coping with these situations. Both immediate support in the situation and talking about their feelings later with colleagues were found to be important. Discussing and sharing responsibility were also mentioned. CONCLUSION: Informants in this study stated that talking with one another about the challenges they faced in these situations was important. Appropriate education and training programs, together with healthy coping and debriefing strategies must be implemented in maternity units.

SIGNATURE INVERSION IN CS-120 - EVIDENCE FOR A RESIDUAL PN INTERACTION
- 1992

- High-spin states have been observed in the odd-odd isotope 120Cs in S-32-induced reactions. The previously known band is extended to higher spin and several new bands are identified. Band-head configurations have been inferred by comparing the band properties with known bands in the odd nuclei 121Cs and 121Ba. A remarkable signature inversion is observed in the pi-h11/2 x nu-h11/2 band. The experimental data are compared with calculations made within the total routhian surface model and the two-particle plus triaxial rotor model. It is concluded that a significant residual pn interaction rather than triaxiality is responsible for the signature inversion phenomenon in the pi-h11/2 x nu-h11/2 band of 120Cs.(~)[GRAPHICS]

Few fathers-to-be prefer caesarean section for the birth of their baby
- 2010
-
In: British Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology. - : Wiley. - 1470-0328 .- 1471-0528. ; 117:6, s. 761-764
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- The objective of this study was to investigate prospective fathers' preferences for caesarean section and associated factors. Data were collected by means of a questionnaire given in mid-pregnancy to 1105 fathers-to-be in northern Sweden. In total, 6.4% of fathers preferred a caesarean section. The factors associated with a preference for caesarean section were a wish to plan the date of the baby's birth [prevalence ratio (PR) 6.0], a previous negative birth experience (PR 8.6) and previous experience of a caesarean section (PR 5.7).

Prenatal attachment and it´s association with fetal movement during pregnancy : A population based survey
- 2024
-
In: Women and Birth. - : Elsevier. - 1871-5192 .- 1878-1799.
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Objective: to investigate the association between the magnitude of fetal movements and level of prenatal attachment within a 24 hour period among women in the third trimester of pregnancy Design: a prospective population-based survey. Setting: A county in central Sweden Participants: Low risk pregnant women from 34 to 42 weeks gestation, N = 456, 299 multiparous and 157 primiparous women. Measurements: the revised version of the Prenatal Attachment Inventory (PAI-R) and assessment of the perception of fetal movements per 24 hours in the current gestational week. Findings: a total of 81 per cent of the eligible women completed the questionnaire. The overall sample of women found that the majority (96%) felt their baby move mostly in the evening as compared with other time periods in the 24 hour period. More than half of the respondents (55%) stated that they perceived frequent fetal movement on two occasions during a 24 hour period, while almost a fifth (18%) never or only once reported frequent fetal movement in a 24 hour period. Just over a quarter (26%) of respondents perceived frequent movement at least three times during a 24 hour period. Perceiving frequent fetal movements on three or more occasions during a 24 hour period in the third trimester, was associated with higher scores of prenatal attachment in all the three subscales on the PAI-R; “Anticipation”, “Differentiation” and “Interaction”. Key conclusion: Perceiving frequent fetal movements at least during three occasions per 24 hours periods in late pregnancy was associated with prenatal attachment. Implications for practice: encouraging women to focus on fetal movements may positively affect prenatal attachment, especially among multiparous women > 35 years.

Depressive mood in early pregnancy and postpartum: prevalence and women at risk in a national Swedish sample
- 2005
-
In: JOURNAL OF REPRODUCTIVE AND INFANT PSYCHOLOGY. - : Informa UK Limited. - 0264-6838 .- 1469-672X. ; 23:2, s. 155-166

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- We investigated the prevalence of postnatal depressive mood in a national Swedish sample, together with factors associated with depressed mood postpartum only as opposed to having depressed mood both in early pregnancy and postpartum. Swedish-speaking women booked for antenatal care during a chosen period of three recruitment weeks were invited and 3293 (72%) agreed to participate in the study. Of these women, 2674 (81%) completed two questionnaires, one in early pregnancy and another 2 months postpartum. Depressive mood was assessed by the Edinburgh Postnatal Depression Scale (EPDS) and the validated Swedish cut-off of 11/12 was used. In all, 12.3% scored above the threshold postpartum depressed mood, that being 6.5% postpartum only ('post' group) and 5.8% both in pregnancy and postpartum ('ante and post' group). Unemployment, lack of support, and physical health problems were the most important factors associated with a postpartum depressed mood in both groups. Women in the 'ante and post' group were more socially disadvantaged with increased relative risks in most of the factors that were investigated. Postnatal problems such as dissatisfaction with support from relatives and factors related to the infant were only associated with a depressed mood in the 'post' group. Obtaining a psychosocial history in early pregnancy, including factors associated with a depressed mood, may be the first step towards identifying and providing individualized care for women at risk of sustained or recurrent depressive mood during pregnancy and the postpartum period.

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- ObjectiveThe midwife assisting a birth has a considerable influence on the woman's experience of the birth. The aim of this study was to investigate the experience of the midwife's professional skills among women in Norway, Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden who chose a planned home birth. Design and SettingAll known home birth midwives were asked to inform the mothers about the project and invite them to complete a questionnaire about different aspects of their home birth experience. MethodThe women were asked to assess 10 different aspects of the midwives' professional skills on a 4-graded scale below the main question: What was your experience of the midwife who assisted the labor? Furthermore, the mothers' experiences with the attending midwives were identified in the free text birth stories. The chosen method was a mixed method design. FindingsThe home birth midwives' professional skills were generally high scored. No statistically significant differences were found with respect to the assessment of the midwife. The content analyses yielded one overarching theme: The competence and presence of the midwife creates a safe haven, and three categories, midwife's safe hand, midwife's caring approach, and midwife's peaceful presence. ConclusionWomen choosing a home birth in the four Nordic countries experienced that their midwives were highly skilled and they found the presence of the midwives valuable in helping them to feel safe and confident during birth. Despite differences in organization and guidelines for home births, the women's experience of the midwife's professional skills did not differ between the four countries.
