Before Recovery - A Blind Spot in Recovery Research?: Users’ Narratives About the Origins and Development of their Mental Health and/or Addiction Pro…
2021
Objective: Recently, the position of persons with mental health and drug problems has evolved from victim of an illness to holder of an experience-based knowledge (EBK). Studies about recovery are often based on recovery narratives. However, focusing on components of the recovery process—parts of this EBK concerned with the causes, onset, and journey before the proper recovery process—risks forming a blind spot. In this study, we aim to analyze service users’ EBK about recovery, the backgrounds and causes of the problems, and how they related these conditions to their recovery journey. Research Design and Methods: We interviewed 29 persons in recovery. Data were analyzed by using thematic a…

iCanCope with PainTM Norway : Cultural translation and feasibility testing of the Norwegian iCanCope with PainTM app aimed at reducing pain and impro…
2020
The paper III is not published yet. Persistent pain has a high prevalence among adolescents. Pain has been shown to reduce all aspects of the adolescent’s health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Available pain-coping applications (apps) are rarely scientifically evaluated nor have health personnel in their development. Thus, there is a need to provide coping strategies in evidence- and theory-based app interventions aimed at reducing pain and increasing HRQOL among adolescents with persistent pain. The iCanCope with PainTM app is originally from Canada and based on theory, identified healthcare needs and current best practices for pain self-management. There was a need for ensuring the app …
Velferdsstatlig universalisme – en saga blott?
2022
De siste årene har flere antydet at dyp velferdsstatsendring undergraver den norske tradisjonen for universalisme (Hatland, 2011; Stamsø, 2017; Vike et al., 2016). Det kan virke gåtefullt at et slikt virkelighetsbilde tegnes nå. Den norske velferdsmodellen er fortsatt svært populær, og universalisme fremstilles som forklaring på høyt skattede samfunnsforhold (se bl.a. Briseid, 2019). Når et politisk vedtatt prinsipp står så sterkt i en befolkning, hvorfor svekkes det allikevel i praksis? Hva kjennetegner mønstrene for, og drivkreftene bak, universalismens tilbaketog? Dette er spørsmålene kapittelet behandler. Utgangspunktet er funn fra et etnografisk forskningsprosjekt om det kommunale psyk…
Intensive care nurses' attitudes and behavioural intentions toward obese intensive care patients
2020
Paper I, II, and III are not available as a part of the dissertation due to the copyright. Background: Admission of obese patients with complex health care needs to intensive care units is increasing. Caring for obese critically ill patients can be challenging for qualified intensive care nurses because of the patients’ weight, critical situation and physical challenges. Previous studies have demonstrated that some healthcare professionals hold negative attitudes toward obese patients. Obese intensive care patients may experience more stress than normal weight patients; therefore, intensive care nurses’ attitudes and the way the nurses address patient care may be important. Despite a range …
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. Most would agree that the experience of both hedonia and eudaimonia can be considered the greatest form of well-being. In addition to the interest in understanding what well-being consist of, there are substantial investigations into the …
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. Performing care requires advanced knowledge and skills to ensure safe outcomes for surgical patients. Perioperative nurses work in interprofessional surgical teams and must develop team skills, such as communication and interprofessional collaboration, as teamwork is an essential component of patient safety. Therefore, perioperative nurses need a distinct form of higher education that builds a close relationship between higher education, science and the profession’s occupational field. Interprofessional simulation-b…
