Sammenlikning av kraftutvikling hos funksjonell trente og utrente under stabile og ustabile forhold: Pushup som modell
2007
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap, Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand Sammenlikning av kraftutvikling hos funksjonell trente og utrente under ustabile og stabile forhold. Formål: Å sammenligne hvordan det å tilføre ustabilitet til en lukket kinstisk kjede pushup påvirker godt trente og utrente forsøkspersoner. Metode: 12 godt trente menn (T) 22 ± 5 år, med erfaring fra stup, håndball, strongman, styrkeløft og andre idretter med store krav til funksjonell styrke i skulderleddet ble sammenlignet med 8 utrente menn (UT) 23 ± 2 år. Forsøkspersonene utførte 4 forskjellige varianter av pushup under både stabile (S) og ustabile (US) forhold. Ustabiliteten ble tilført gjennom at personene holdt i 2,5m …
Hvordan er den fysiske formen blant norsk ungdom i alderen 13 til 15 år?
2007
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap, Høgskolen i Agder Kristiansand Hensikt Hovedintensjonen med denne studien var å kartlegge den fysiske formen blant 13 til 15 åringer i Kristiansand kommune. I tillegg ble det sett nærmere på hvilken innvirkning pubertetsutviklingen har på den fysiske formen, hvilken innvirkning fysisk aktivitetsnivå har på fysisk form, samt hvor stor forekomsten av overvekt var for denne aldersgruppe. Metode Alle kommunale ungdomsskoler i Kristiansand kommune ble invitert og takket ja til å delta i prosjektet ”Ung i balanse”. Målgruppen var elever i 8. klasse høsten 2004. Disse elevene ble fulgt over en periode på to år, fra 8. til 10. klasse. Totalt var ca 1100 elever ford…
Evaluering av treningstilbudet i regi av "Aktivitet på resept" i Kristiansand og Vennesla kommune Hvilken effekt har dette tilbudet på deltekernes he…
2006
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap, Høgskolen i Agder Kristiansand Bakgrunn: Det totale aktivitetsnivået går nedover (Hjort et al., 1996), og en slik nedgang har konsekvenser for folks helse (Anderssen, 2000). På bakgrunn av dette har fylkesplanen for Vest-Agder programområdet ”fysisk aktivitet” som et av sju satsingsområder for folkehelsearbeidet i fylket. Dette har resultert i at prosjektet ”Aktivitet på resept” som har til hensikt å bruke økt fysisk aktivitet som virkemiddel i primær-, sekundær og tertiærforebyggende tiltak for pasientgrupper hvor fysisk aktivitet har effekt. Hensikt: Hensikten med studien er å se på den effekten ”Aktivitet på resept” har på deltakernes helserelaterte form…

Nursing students’ professional identity development: An integrative review
2021
The aim of this integrative review was to identify and synthesize current evidence of factors that influence the professional identity development of nursing students in nursing educational programs. Cinahl (EBSCO), Medline, ERIC, Embase, and PsycINFO were searched. Three different appraisal tools and the PRISMA checklist were used. The data from both quantitative and qualitative studies (19 primary studies) were analyzed by applying qualitative content analysis. The analysis revealed two main themes: a caring practice–academic partnership and support in the learning environment. The following seven sub-categories were identified: clinical supervisors, ethical competence, preparation, self…
Development and evaluation of image-series for portion size estimation in dietary assessment among adults
2021
AbstractPortion size images are advantageous in dietary assessment. The aim of the present study was to develop and validate new culturally specific image-series for portion size estimation to be used in a new Norwegian version of a British web-based dietary assessment tool (myfood24). Twenty-three image-series of different foods, each containing seven portion size images, were created and validated in a group of adults (n41, 58 % female) aged 19–44 (median 23), out of which 63 % had higher (tertiary) education. The participants compared 46 portions of pre-weighed foods to the portion size images (1886 comparisons in total). Portion size estimations were either classified as correct, adjace…
Enhancement of cranial nerves in Lyme neuroborreliosis: incidence and correlation with clinical symptoms and prognosis
2022
Abstract Purpose Symptoms of cranial neuritis are a common presentation of Lyme neuroborreliosis (LNB). Imaging studies are scarce and report contradictory low prevalence of enhancement compared to clinical studies of cranial neuropathy. We hypothesized that MRI enhancement of cranial nerves in LNB is underreported, and aimed to assess the prevalence and clinical impact of cranial nerve enhancement in early LNB. Methods In this prospective, longitudinal cohort study, 69 patients with acute LNB were examined with MRI of the brain. Enhancement of cranial nerves III–XII was rated. MRI enhancement was correlated to clinical findings of neuropathy in the acute phase and after 6 months. Results T…
Antibiotic therapy of neuroborreliosis:A survey among infectious disease specialists and neurologists in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark
2022
INTRODUCTION: Neuroborreliosis (NB) is a prevalent tick-borne neuroinfection in Europe. To delineate current practice in antimicrobial management of adults with NB and to prioritize future trials needed to optimize treatment recommendations, a questionnaire-based survey was performed.METHODS: A self-administered Internet-based survey of NB treatment practices among specialists in infectious diseases and neurology based in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark was carried out between October 2021 and February 2022. The participants were also asked to prioritize four pre-defined research questions for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) on therapy for NB.RESULTS: In total, 290 physicians (45% female) f…
Global health security and islands as seen through COVID-19 and vaccination
2022
Since the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic in March 2020, significant research and attention has focused on countries’ abilities and interests in enacting response measures to the spread of the coronavirus including lockdowns, travel restrictions, and vaccination programmes to contain infections, hospitalisations, and deaths. As the pandemic has continued, much discussion has also centred on the ability of islands to control borders, enact public health measures, and keep the virus out or controlled, owing in part to presumed islandness characteristics of isolation and remoteness. Drawing from ongoing empirical examples of island experiences in the context of COVID-19, this article exa…
Walking a tightrope - as a next-of-kin to an adolescent or young adult with cancer facing eating difficulties
2022
Purpose: Eating difficulties cause reduced food intake and poor quality of life among adolescents and young adults (AYAs) with cancer. Therefore, next-of-kin eating support is crucial. The purpose of this study was to explore the lived experiences of being close to AYAs with cancer in the context of eating when they are at home between high-emetogenic chemotherapy (HEC) sessions. Method: In-depth interviews were conducted with 12 next-of-kin to AYAs (15–29 years old) with oncological or haematological diseases, treated with HEC. Van Manen’s hermeneutic-phenomenological approach guided the design. Results: The essential meaning of the next-of-kin experiences is reflected in the overarching t…
