The effectiveness of peer-support for people living with HIV: A systematic review and meta-analysis
2021
Background The practice of involving people living with HIV in the development and provision of healthcare has gained increasing traction. Peer-support for people living with HIV is assistance and encouragement by an individual considered equal, in taking an active role in self-management of their chronic health condition. The objective of this systematic review was to assess the effects of peer-support for people living with HIV. Methods We conducted a systematic review in accordance with international guidelines. Following systematic searches of eight databases until May 2020, two reviewers performed independent screening of studies according to preset inclusion criteria. We conducted ri…
Drug resistance is widespread among children who receive long-term antiretroviral treatment at a rural Tanzanian hospital
2010
Published version of an article from the journal: Journal of Antimicrobial Chemotherapy. Also available from the publisher: htttp://dx.doi.org/10.1093/jac/dkq234 Objectives: To assess long-term virological efficacy and the emergence of drug resistance in children who receive antiretroviral treatment (ART) in rural Tanzania. Patients and methods: Haydom Lutheran Hospital has provided ART to HIV-infected individuals since 2003. From February through May 2009, a cross-sectional virological efficacy survey was conducted among children (, 15 years) who had completed >= 6 months of first-line non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor (NNRTI)-based ART. Genotypic resistance was determined in …
Height and body-mass index trajectories of school-aged children and adolescents from 1985 to 2019 in 200 countries and territories: a pooled analysis…
2020
BACKGROUND: Comparable global data on health and nutrition of school-aged children and adolescents are scarce. We aimed to estimate age trajectories and time trends in mean height and mean body-mass index (BMI), which measures weight gain beyond what is expected from height gain, for school-aged children and adolescents.
Experiences of a non-clinical set of adolescents and young adults living with persistent pain:a qualitative metasynthesis
2021
PurposeAround 15%–30% of adolescents and young adults (AYAs) experience persistent or chronic pain. The purpose of this study was to synthesise evidence from qualitative primary studies on how AYAs in a non-clinical population experience living with persistent pain.MethodA qualitative metasynthesis guided by Sandelowski and Barroso’s guidelines was used. The databases Medline, Embase, Cinahl, PsycINFO, Mednar and ProQuest were searched for studies from 1 January 2005 to 15 February 2021. Inclusion criteria were AYAs aged 13–24 years with first-hand experience of living with persistent, recurrent or episodic non-clinical pain in any body site. Pain associated with a medical diagnosis, malign…
The healthy body image (HBI) intervention: Effects of a school-based cluster-randomized controlled trial with 12-months follow-up
2019
Published by Elsevier Ltd. Under a Creative Commons license We examined the effects of the Healthy Body Image (HBI) intervention on positive embodiment and health-related quality of life among Norwegian high school students. The intervention comprised three interactive workshops, with body image, media literacy, and lifestyle as main themes. In total, 2,446 12th grade boys (43%) and girls (mean age 16.8 years) from 30 high schools participated in a cluster-randomized controlled study with the HBI intervention and a control condition as the study arms. Data were collected at baseline, post-intervention, 3- and 12-months follow-up, and analysed using linear mixed regression models. The HBI in…
Criterion validity of the Saltin-Grimby Physical Activity Level Scale in adolescents. The Fit Futures Study
2022
Background The Saltin-Grimby Physical Activity Level Scale (SGPALS) is commonly used to measure physical activity (PA) in population studies, but its validity in adolescents is unknown. This study aimed to assess the criterion validity of the SGPALS against accelerometry in a large sample of adolescents. A secondary aim was to examine the validity across strata of sex, body mass index (BMI), parental educational level, study program and self-reported health. Methods The study is based on data from 572 adolescents aged 15–17 years who participated in the Fit Futures Study 2010–11 in Northern Norway. The participants were invited to wear an accelerometer (GT3X) attached to their hip for seve…
Ny arbeids- og velferdsforvaltning : oppretting av NAV-kontorer i kommunene : rapport fra en pilotstudie høsten 2006
2006
1.juli 2006 ble den Nye Arbeids- og Velferdsforvaltning opprettet. Det er den største omorganisering som er skjedd innen velferdstjenesteområdet i Norge noen gang. 16000 ansatte er involvert og alle landets kommuner blir engasjert i denne. For å få en oversikt over reformen og over området som endres ble denne rapporten laget. Rapporten er derfor en beskrivende rapport både når det gjelder fortid om hvordan de tidligere etatene ble til og fungerte og når det gjelder nåsituasjonen for reformen. Fortiden beskrives i en gjennomgang av historien bak, mens nåsituasjonen beskrives dels ved en gjennomgang av reformens ulike dokumenter og ved svarene som fremkom i en intervjurunde foretatt i forhol…
Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of active travel, organised sport and physical education with accelerometer-assessed moderate-to-vigoro…
2022
Abstract Background Physical activity (PA) declines during childhood. Important sources of PA are active travel, organised sport and physical education (PE), but it is unclear how these domain-specific PA sources contribute to (changes in) daily moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) in young people. This study aimed to examine (1) the cross-sectional association between domain-specific physical activity (i.e., active travel, organised sport and PE) and daily minutes in accelerometer-assessed MVPA; and (2) the longitudinal association between domain-specific physical activity at baseline and change in daily minutes in MVPA. Methods Participants (baseline age 11.3 ± .1.2 years) were drawn from three…
Poliittinen puhe kansalaisuudesta on usein puhetta palvelujärjestelmästä
2021
Kansalaisuuden käsitteellä on tehty politiikkaa suomalaisten puolueiden ohjelmissa jo 1800-1900-lukujen taitteesta alkaen. Eduskuntavaaliohjelmat ovat yksi areena, jossa puolueet määrittelevät neljän vuoden välein kansalaisuutta ja julkisen vallan suhdetta kansaan. Samalla puolueet luovat arvoihin perustuvia odotuksia siitä, millaisia kansalaisten tulisi olla. Kansalaisuuden kautta määrittyvät myös yhteiskuntapolitiikan sisällöt, sillä tulkinnat kansalaisista ja heidän tarpeistaan ohjaavat palveluiden ja etuuksien kokonaisuutta hyvinvointivaltiossa. nonPeerReviewed
