Elektronisk kurve - mulighet for reduksjon av legemiddel feil i sykehus?
2013
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI500 2012 – Universitetet i Agder, Grimstad. Oppgaven har gjennomgått en lettere revisjon etter eksamen. Endringene er beskrevet etter forordet og er er godkjent av veileder Introduksjon: Informasjonssystemer har ført til store endringer også i helsesektoren. Det meste av pasientjournalen er nå elektronisk, men arbeidsprosessene rundt forordning og administrering av legemidler foregår på de fleste sykehus fremdeles manuelt. Da legemiddelfeil er et stort problem, foreslår Helse- og Omsorgsdepartementet elektroniske systemer som et tiltak for å redusere legemiddelfeil. Tidligere forskning viser imidlertid at innføring av elektroniske systemer ikke…
Prehospital elektronisk pasientjournal (P-EPJ)
2021
Master's thesis in Health informatics (HSI501) Background: Norway’s increasing population, along with a growing number of older people and people in need of treatment, increases pressure for the emergency services. Pre-hospital Electronic Healthcare Record systems (P-EHR) are pointed out as an important part of the solution to increase quality and efficiency to the forthcoming challenges. Aim of study: The aim of this study is to collect data concerning the experiences of users and practitioners in ambulance services in Norway. There have been studies on this subject, but only on an organizational level, not in an individual perspective. The problem statement in this study is «What experien…

State-civil society synergy as a development strategy: an examination of the impact of the community-based health planning and services programme in …
2014
Master thesis in development management - University of Agder 2014 The state in many developing countries has been the dominant provider of public goods and services with little involvement of civil society. Civil society in such context has often assumed the role of passive agents instead of being active participants in the country’s developmental agenda. Contemporary development practitioners have criticised this conventional relationship and called for partnership between both entities in co-producing public goods and services. A major reason adduced by authors to support the necessity for such partnership is that, there are some functions better performed by the state and others better …
"Representanter for håpet" : en studie av erfaringskonsulentens rolle og funksjon i det psykiske helsefeltet
2013
Masteroppgave i velferdsstudier - Universitetet i Agder 2013 Psykiske lidelser er den mest brukte diagnosen i Norge. Økt fokus på psykisk helse og brukermedvirkning har vært et stort satsningsområde i Norge de siste årene. Erfaringskompetanse er et voksende felt innenfor psykiske helsetjenester, og kan sees på som en videreføring av brukerperspektivet. Sett i lys av at erfaringskompetanse er et relativt nytt felt innenfor psykisk helsearbeid, er det lite forskning på systematisk ansettelse av mennesker med brukererfaring. Hvordan kan tidligere brukere med erfaring fra å være psykisk syke være nyttige i psykiske helsetjenester? Hensikten med denne studien er å belyse et utvalg erfaringskonsu…
Enabling transformative value creation through online weight loss services
2020
PurposeThis study aims to understand how online weight loss services could help customers achieve a durable change. The particular focus is on exploring the roles of value co-creation and well-being outcomes in reinforcing the transformative value potential, which is argued to be realized as customers’ intentions to continue a healthier lifestyle after the service period has ended.Design/methodology/approachData was collected from the participants of an online weight loss service (n = 498), and a conceptual research model was tested using structural equation modelling.FindingsThe results imply that compliance with the guidelines and social support are two value co-creation activities that c…
Sports clubs as settings for health promotion: fundamentals and an overview to research.
2014
This paper explores the efficacy and value of sports clubs as a setting for health promotion. Sports clubs for children and adolescents are the primary focus of the paper, and the aims are two-fold. Aims: Firstly, the paper aims to review the basis for and elements of the health promoting sports club (HPSC) concept. Secondly, the aim is to overview the international evolution of the HPSC concept and its usefulness in the research. The settings-based health promotion approach forms the basis for the HPSC concept and it is introduced first. Thereafter, both obligating and prospecting factors, to justify the importance for sports clubs to address health promotion, are expressed. Major prospec…
Visual search in three-dimensional non-medical images: visual-motor performance of radiologists
2019
The visual search abilities of radiologists are systematically trained due to the specifics of their professional tasks. We investigated whether the visual-motor performance of radiologists, residents and students varied when searching non-medical targets on the volumetric display. As a result, no significant differences were found in the correct response rate among three groups. However, the total number of interactions was considerably higher for the resident radiologists and medical students comparing to the experienced radiologists. Our results suggest that the radiological experience does not interfere with the outcome in the developed visual search task, but may be reflected in motor …
Causal Effects of Body Mass Index on Airflow Obstruction and Forced Mid-Expiratory Flow: A Mendelian Randomization Study Taking Interactions and Age-…
2021
Obesity has complex links to respiratory health. Mendelian randomization (MR) enables assessment of causality of body mass index (BMI) effects on airflow obstruction and mid-expiratory flow. In the adult SAPALDIA cohort, recruiting 9,651 population-representative samples aged 18–60 years at baseline (female 51%), BMI and the ratio of forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) as well as forced mid-expiratory flow (FEF25–75%) were measured three times over 20 follow-up years. The causal effects of BMI in childhood and adulthood on FEV1/FVC and FEF25–75% were assessed in predictive (BMI averaged over 1st and 2nd, lung function (LF) averaged over 2nd and 3rd fol…
