Disentangling the dynamics of social assistance: A linked survey—Register data cohort study of long-term social assistance recipients in Norway
2020
Social assistance is a means-tested benefit that is supposed to be a short-term, temporary economic support. Understanding why some individuals are in repeated or continuous need of social assistance is thus of obvious policy relevance, but the dynamics of social assistance receipt remain poorly understood. In 2005, a survey among long-term recipients of social assistance in Norway collected data on (a) childhood disadvantages, (b) health status, (c) health behaviors, (d) psychological resources, and (e) social ties, in addition to basic sociodemographic information. This rich survey data has been linked with tax register data from 2005–2013, enabling us to explore the detailed characterist…
Skolens bibelfortellinger
2022
Formålet til dette arkivet, kalt «Skolens bibelfortellinger», er å gjøre allment tilgjengelig, bl.a. for forskning, et utvalg på noe over 600 elevtekster. Tekstene stammer fra en større samling skrive- og tegnebøker brukt i skolens religions- og livssynsfag i tiden 1955-2017. Tekstene dokumenterer en omfattende skolefagutvikling. Etter Læreplanverket for Kunnskapsløftet 2020 er såkalt fortellingsdidaktikk nedtonet. Dette arkivet vil inspirere til forsknings- og utviklingsarbeid om store og små kulturtradisjoners / religioners fortellinger og autoritetstilskrevne tekster – og deres relevans for nye elevgenerasjoner.
Agility activities for children in a municipality in Norway.
2015
The aim of this study was to investigate whether agility activity with dogs can be used to motivate less active children in physical activity and how such activity is experienced by parents and handlers. Data were collected through qualitative interviews with handlers and parents of the participating children. Agility with dogs appeared to motivate less active children to participate in, and endure, demanding physical activity. Joy and bonding with the dog appeared to be key elements in the motivational process. Motivation, initiation, and sustainment of activity over time are beneficial for children.

Why do Norwegian nurses leave the public health service to practice CAM?
2009
Accepted version of an article published in Complementary Therapies in Clinical Practice, 15 (2009), 147-151 This paper explores a number of issues associated with the recent increase in nurses choosing to leave the Norwegian health care system in order to become independent practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The paper suggests that in Norway, nurses perceive medical hegemony continues to persist. Nurses perceive restrictions in their ability to develop their professional roles and status. CAM would appear to offer many nurses, the opportunity to develop their clinical skills in an autonomous, egalitarian and more holistic environment.
