Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- This is a study at planning stage. The study aims to map and describe all intimate partner homicides perpetrated in West Sweden during the last 15 years (approx. 50 cases). The study has a special focus on the role of health care workers; had they or had they not identified intimate partner violence prior to the homicide? Could identification and prevention be enhanced and how? The project will proceed in two stages. In the first stage archive data – i.e. national registers of different kinds, police investigations, court material, social services and health care records – will be analyzed. In the second stage some cases will be selected for further and deeper understanding, via interviews with professionals as well as with family to the victim, and possibly also with the perpetrators.

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Intimate partner homicide in West Sweden 2000-2016 This study aims to map and describe all intimate partner homicides perpetrated in West Sweden during the chosen time period. The major aim of the project is to identify risk factors for intimate partner homicide (IPH), which could possibly contribute to prevention work. The intention is to search for possible gaps in the coordination of collaboration and reporting between agencies and authorities, such as health care, criminal justice and social services. Further, the experiences of family and friends who have been bereaved will be explored, as well as the perceptions of the perpetrators and their family and friends. The study has a special focus on the role of health care workers; had they or had they not identified intimate partner violence prior to the homicide? Could identification and prevention be enhanced and how? The project includes several sub-studies and proceeds in two stages. In the first stage registry and criminal justice data (mainly court files) are investigated. In the second stage 10 heterogeneous cases of IPH are chosen for an in-depth analysis, including case material such as police investigations, court material, social services and health care records as well as interviews. At the conference we will present some preliminary findings from the study’s first stage.

Intimate partner homicides in a process perspective

Conference paper (other academic/artistic)abstract
- Intimate partner homicides in a process perspective Introduction In their pivotal work on men who murder women, Dobash & Dobash (2014) write about the project that changes: from trying to keep the woman in the relationship and/or under his control to deciding to kill her, as punishment, when he realizes that this can (no longer) be attained. This was a point of departure for this study, in which we aimed to describe what this process entails. Methods The study presented is part of the STOP study, which aims to map and describe all intimate partner homicides perpetrated in West Sweden 2000-2016. In this qualitative study, 50 court files with 40 male and 10 female perpetrators were analyzed using thematic analysis. The research questions guiding our research were: When does the project change? What does the buil-up for the killing entail? and finally What does the aftermath of the deadly violence look like? Our rationale for focusing on IPH a process perspective was that many risk factors for IPH have been described in previous research, but it may be difficult put these into context. In many cases, several risk factors can be found; but which are most pertinent of the time of the crime? Further we sought to analyze in what way women’s changing of the project, i.e. deciding to kill their partners, are different from or similar to men´s. Results We discerned a process in which the borders between charging up to kill, and actually making this decision, were blurry. Yet some distinctive features of this process were visible. Further we found that possessiveness was a more prominent theme when the perpetrators were male. Conclusion A process perspective is valuable in understanding IPHs.

"how do we use the time?" : An observational study measuring the task time distribution of nurses in psychiatric care
- 2019
-
In: BMC Nursing. - : BioMed Central Ltd.. - 1472-6955. ; 18:1
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: The nurse's primary task in psychiatric care should be to plan for the patient's care in cooperation with the patient and spend the time needed to build a relationship. Psychiatric care nurses however claim that they lack the necessary time to communicate with patients. To investigate the validity of such claims, this time-motion study aimed at identifying how nurses working at inpatient psychiatric wards distribute their time between a variety of tasks during a working day. Methods: During the period of December 2015 and February 2016, a total of 129 h and 23 min of structured observations of 12 nurses were carried out at six inpatient wards at one psychiatric clinic in southern Sweden. Time, frequency of tasks and number of interruptions were recorded and analysed using descriptive statistics. Results: Administering drugs or medications accounted for the largest part of the measured time (17.5%) followed by indirect care (16%). Relatively little time was spent on direct care, the third largest category in the study (15.3%), while an unexpectedly high proportion of time (11.3%) was spent on ward related tasks. Nurses were also interrupted in 75% of all medication administering tasks. Conclusions: Nurses working in inpatient psychiatric care spend little time in direct contact with the patients and medication administration is interrupted very often. As a result, it is difficult to establish therapeutic relationships with patients. This is an area of concern for both patient safety and nurses' job satisfaction. © 2019 The Author(s).

Municipal information on assistive devices in Sweden
- 2016
-
In: Life Span and Disability. - : Oasi Maria SS. - 2035-5963. ; :2, s. 131-151
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Background: In Sweden, supply of assistive devices is a municipal/county council responsibility. Earlier research has mainly focused the matching of person and device. In contrast, this study concerns the process before the actual supply is initiated. Aim: Discuss the experience among persons who, for the first time, seek municipal information on assistive devices and the provision thereof through internet pages and contacts with prescribers. Methods: A combined analysis of data from two earlier studies was performed, focusing overall process perspectives: Study 1 described the experience of seeking information from municipal internet pages, and study 2 described the experience of personal contacts with municipal prescribers. Results: Internet pages and prescribers were, in general, perceived as lacking information on assistive devices, whereas information on provision was clearer. Internet sites were difficult to navigate, prescribers difficult to contact. Conclusions: The experience of seeking information on assistive devices through municipal internet pages and contacts with municipal prescribers was less empowering. From a process perspective, for a person to become an active partner in the actual provision of assistive devices, a person-centered process with improved accessibility to adequate information on assistive devices and provisioning may be a viable step.

Upplevelser av information vid kontakt med kommunala hjälpmedelförskrivare
- 2015
-
In: Socialmedicinsk Tidskrift. - : Socialmedicinsk tidskrift. - 0037-833X. ; 5:92, s. 605-614
-
Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Syfte: Beskriva upplevelser hos personer som för första gången får kontakt med en kommunal hjälpmedelsförskrivare för att få information om förskrivning av hjälpmedel. Metod: Trettiosex studenter kontaktade hjälpmedelsförskrivare i de 33 skånska kommunerna och rapporterade sina upplevelser. Dessa bearbetades och analyserades genom en tematisk innehållsanalys. Resultat: Det var svårt att nå förskrivare per telefon, både direktnummer och via växel. Bemötandet varierade från stressat och korthugget till välkomnande och hjälpsamt. Förskrivare använde termen ”patient” om hjälpmedelsanvändare, och underströk individens skyldigheter. Informationsinnehållet var magert. Förskrivare hänvisade till ospecificerade internetsökningar. Slutsatser: Kontaktmöjligheter och informationsinnehåll behöver ses över. Personcentrerad hjälpmedelsförskrivning kan öka personens empowerment genom ökat inflytande över innehåll och genomförande. Därigenom kan självbestämmande och delaktighet öka.

Abused women’s vulnerability in daily life and in contact with psychiatric care : in the light of a caring science perspective
- 2017
-
In: Journal of Clinical Nursing. - : John Wiley & Sons. - 0962-1067 .- 1365-2702. ; 26:15-16, s. 2384-2391

Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Aims and objectivesThe aim of the study is to deepen the understanding of abused women's vulnerability in relation to how the abuse and encounters with health care professionals affect life. A further aim is to highlight abused women's vulnerability with a caring science perspective.BackgroundExperience of abuse has consequences for the mental health of women and girls. Abused women may experience health care as unsupportive, and as a result, often chose not to disclose their experiences of abuse.Design and methodsThe results of two qualitative empirical studies were analysed along with a phenomenological meaning analysis in accordance with the methodological principles of Reflective Lifeworld Research.FindingsLiving one's life with experiences of abuse implies vulnerability, which can prevent abused women from achieving good health. This vulnerability results from insecurity regarding identity, along with the sense that one could have been a different individual if it were not for the abuse and thereby have a more fair chance in life. Being cared for within general psychiatric care could further increase this vulnerability. The healthcare professional's ability to care for the women who have experienced abuse leads to either an encounter of trust or else further suffering for the women.ConclusionA lifeworld-oriented caring science perspective as a foundation for care can contribute to care for abused women which reaches the existential dimensions of their vulnerability and vulnerable life situation.Relevance to clinical practiceIt is evident that healthcare professionals should deepen their understanding of how abused women live, within a general psychiatric context. This study enables a deeper understanding of abused women's vulnerability in relation to how the abuse and encounters with healthcare professionals affect life.
