- Adults with ADHD experience a wide range of difficulties in daily life, and RNs and other healthcare professionals need to know how to support them. The aim was to conduct a systematic review of which selfcare strategies adults with ADHD use and need in order to manage daily life. A literature review based on the PRISMA model was performed, and seven articles with a qualitative design were found. Data were analyzed with thematic analysis. The analysis generated one major theme Enabling ways to manage the consequences of disability in daily life based on three subthemes; Establishing ways of acting to help yourself, Finding encouraging and helping relationships, and Using external aids for managing daily life. Professionals may benefit from knowing about these selfcare strategies when meeting people with ADHD.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The residents' perspective of the quality of housing support for people with psychiatric disabilities living in congregate supported housing has been studied and a comparison has been made with the findings from those from a previous study in ordinary housing with outreach support. One-hundred and seventy-eight residents from 27 supported housing facilities in eight Swedish municipalities completed the Quality of Psychiatric Care-Housing (QPC-H) instrument. The highest quality ratings were found for: Secluded Environment, Encounter and Support, while Participation, Housing Specific and Secure Environment were rated at lower levels. Despite relatively high ratings, a majority of items did not attain the 80% cutoff point deemed as defining satisfactory quality of service. The residents in ordinary housing with outreach support rated higher levels for the majority of the QPC-H dimensions in comparison with those in supported housing. A conclusion is that the quality of care in supported housing facilities has a number of deficiencies that need to be addressed. Supported housing is generally rated as having a lower quality of care than in ordinary housing with outreach support. Suggestions for the content of staff training are made based on the results.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective To investigate the relationship between perceived mental health service provision and quality of life (QoL) as perceived by patients in psychiatric outpatient care.Methods A total of 373 adult patients registered at 15 psychiatric outpatient clinics in three regions in central and southern Sweden were included in the study. Survey data were collected using a questionnaire on mental health service provision, symptom severity, recovery, clinical diagnosis, sociodemographics (serving as independent variables) and QoL (serving as the dependent variable). Three aspects of mental health service provision were used: patients' perceived quality of care, perceived staff-patient interaction, and patient reported psychiatric treatments. Structural equation modelling was used to model the relationship among the variables.Results Variables in mental health service provision showed few direct associations with patients' perceived QoL. Instead, the associations of mental health service provision on QoL were mainly mediated through symptom severity and recovery. These relationships were retained after adjusting for sociodemographic variables and clinical diagnoses. The final model achieved excellent goodness of fit (chi 2 = 49.502, p = 0.230, RMSEA = 0.020, CFI = 0.997 and a SRMR = 0.024).Conclusion This study shows that mental health service provision is associated with patients' perceived QoL; however, this association is mostly indirect and mediated by reduced symptom severity and increased recovery. This finding can help inform the design of future interventions to enhance service provision to improve patients' QoL.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Community-based day centers in Sweden are well-established arenas for psychiatric rehabilitation. Little is, however, known of the attendees’ perception of the quality of the service provided. Therefore, the aim of the study was to describe and investigate the quality of community-based day center services for people with psychiatric disabilities. A sample of 218 attendees (44% females) between 18 and 71 years old in 14 community-based day center services in Sweden completed the quality in psychiatric care–daily activities (QPC-DA) instrument. The results showed that people with psychiatric disabilities perceived the quality of community-based day center services as high and 87% perceived the overall quality as satisfactory. The highest ratings were found in encounter followed by support, daily activity-specific, secure environment, participation, and the lowest quality was found in secluded environment dimensions of the QPC-DA. Most notably, quality of service was rated higher by those with lower educational level, had waited shorter time to attend the center, and had better mental and physical health. However, particularly aspects of a secluded environment and participation (information) may be areas with potential for improvement. In conclusion, the results adhere to the importance of occupational balance, with periods of rest/privacy during the time at the center.The authors have not supplied their declaration of competing interest.

Forskningsöversikt (refereegranskat)abstract
- This systematic review aims to synthesise the research on children's perceptions and experiences of their involvement in a parent's mental health care. After an extensive search and quality appraisal, 22 articles remained and were included in the review. The results show that children-although resourceful and with good intentions-frequently felt excluded. They hungered for information and felt their questions were abandoned. They also felt caught in a tumultuous life situation and struggled for support. Finally, they expressed the need to be seen and ultimately did not feel involved in their parent's mental health care.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- The aim of this paper is to investigate the psychometric properties of the Verbal and Social Interaction questionnaire for psychiatric outpatient care (VSI-OP) by using a confirmatory factor analysis. A further aim is to present the patient and staff perceptions of the frequency of these interactions in this context. The factor structure of the VSI-OP could be explained by three factors for both the staff and the patient versions. The three factors are: 'Inviting the patient to establish a relationship', 'Showing interest in the patients' feelings, experiences and behaviour' and 'Helping the patients to establish structure and routines in their everyday life'. The two first factors were the most frequently occurring actions according to the staff and the patients.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Aim: To explore the long-term learning process in movement awareness development supported by a video-based learning model.Participants: Eleven undergraduate nursing students.Method: The students participated in learning sessions comprising video modelling, video feedback and reflective enquiry with a focus on inter-personal interaction. Each student participated in three individual video sessions during a four-month period. Three individual interviews were carried out, the last one 12–18 months after the final session. Visual, verbal and written material were collected from the video sessions, individual interviews and diaries, and interpreted within a hermeneutical approach.Results: The learning process was described in three themes: motivation for change, exploring alternative perspectives and movement changes through challenges.Conclusions: The video-based learning model implies a challenging experience on a personal level that supports motivation and a deep approach to learning. It adds a powerful base for reflection, which encourages student-centred active learning. The facilitator’s reflective approach is essential to allow the student to explore her/his own movement, in contrast to delivering instructions. The learning model may be valuable in the physiotherapist’s clinical work in facilitating patients’ movement awareness in the process of movement improvements.

"Jag kan öppna fönstret när jag vill" : Boendesituationen för personer med psykisk funktionsnedsättning
- 2016
-
Doktorsavhandling (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Aim: The overall aim of this thesis was to explore and develop knowledge about the housing situation for people with psychiatric disabilities, based on the residents' perspectives.Methods: Three studies are based on a new Swedish questionnaire (SHPD) containing preconceived questions (Studies I-II) and two open-ended questions (Study III), while two studies are theory-generating (Studies IV-V). I - the psychometric properties of SHPD (ICC, descriptive statistics, factor analysis); II - the degree and predictors of housing satisfaction (descriptive statistics, logistical regression analysis); III - the best and worst in housing situation (qualitative content analysis); IV-V - Classic grounded theories about people with psychiatric disabilities, living in supported housing (IV) and in ordinary housing with housing support (V).Results: The results show good psychometric properties for SHPD, a generally high degree of housing satisfaction, and reveal security, privacy and choice as important predictors for satisfaction. Life in supported housing is shown to be characterized by constant togetherness, limited self-determination and violated integrity. Being deprived of self-determination emerged as the main concern for residents, who handle this through striving for meaning. Life in ordinary housing with housing support is shown to be characterized by independence, self-determination, loneliness, and sometimes lack of support. The impossible mission in everyday life emerged as the main concern for residents, who deal with this concern through mastering everyday life. The housing support staff are important facilitators in the process of mastering everyday life, and the continuity of housing support is a prerequisite for the process to succeed.Conclusions: The thesis contributes knowledge about the housing situation for people with psychiatric disabilities. The thesis raises awareness of a need for changes in housing support services towards housing forms and support that strengthen the residents' integrity and autonomy. The individuals' experiences need to be considered in planning and performance of housing support services, and security, privacy, choice, social support and continuity in housing support need to be prioritized.
