Developing well-being as one grows older : A mixed method study
2020
Living the good life has been a topic of interest for centuries and is often captured by the phenomenon of well-being. However, there are different opinions on what wellbeing consists of and what the good life entails. The different understandings of wellbeing are typically categorized as concerned with either hedonia (feelings and experiences) or eudaimonia (positive functioning), but there are also integrated approaches that combine the two perspectives.

Interprofessional simulation-based learning used to prepare perioperative nursing students for acute situations
2023
Background: Perioperative nursing focuses on care for patients with life-threatening crisis, illness or injury undergoing planned or acute surgery, treatment and/or examination.

Nurse-led consultations reinforced with eHealth technology: a qualitative study of the experiences of patients with gynecological cancer
2022
Abstract Background During the last decade, the health care profession has moved toward personalized care and has focused on the diversity of survivorship needs after initial cancer treatment. Health care providers encourage empowering patients to participate actively in their own health management and survivorship. Consequently, we developed and piloted a new follow-up model for patients at a Norwegian hospital, referred to as the Lifestyle and Empowerment Techniques in Survivorship of Gynecologic Oncology (LETSGO) model. Using LETSGO, a dedicated nurse replaces the physician in every second follow-up consultation, providing patients who have undergone cancer treatment with self-management…
