The Evidence Base for an Ideal Care Pathway for Frail Multimorbid Elderly : Combined Scoping and Systematic Intervention Review
2019
Source at https://doi.org/10.2196/12517. Background: There is a call for bold and innovative action to transform the current care systems to meet the needs of an increasing population of frail multimorbid elderly. International health organizations propose complex transformations toward digitally supported (1) Person-centered, (2) Integrated, and (3) Proactive care (Digi-PIP care). However, uncertainty regarding both the design and effects of such care transformations remain. Previous reviews have found favorable but unstable impacts of each key element, but the maturity and synergies of the combination of elements are unexplored. Objective: This study aimed to describe how the literature o…
Meta-analysis of genome-wide association studies discovers multiple loci for chronic lymphocytic leukemia
2016
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a common lymphoid malignancy with strong heritability. To further understand the genetic susceptibility for CLL and identify common loci associated with risk, we conducted a meta-analysis of four genome-wide association studies (GWAS) composed of 3,100 cases and 7,667 controls with follow-up replication in 1,958 cases and 5,530 controls. Here we report three new loci at 3p24.1 (rs9880772, EOMES, P=2.55 × 10−11), 6p25.2 (rs73718779, SERPINB6, P=1.97 × 10−8) and 3q28 (rs9815073, LPP, P=3.62 × 10−8), as well as a new independent SNP at the known 2q13 locus (rs9308731, BCL2L11, P=1.00 × 10−11) in the combined analysis. We find suggestive evidence (P<5 × 10−…
Self-care and anticipated transition into retirement and later life in a Nordic welfare context
2011
Olle S&ouml;derhamn1&ndash;3, Anne Skisland1,2, Margaretha Herrman31Department of Health and Nursing Sciences, Faculty of Health and Sport Sciences, University of Agder, Grimstad and Kristiansand, Norway; 2Centre for Caring Research &ndash; Southern Norway, Grimstad, Norway; 3Department of Nursing, Health and Culture, University West, Trollh&auml;ttan, SwedenAbstract: Few studies have appeared in the health care literature on the meaning of transition into retirement and later life. However, this predictable-involuntary transition may influence personal health and well-being, and studying it from a self-care perspective could be useful. The aim of this study was to illuminat…
Narrated lived experiences of self-care and health among rural-living older persons with a strong sense of coherence.
2012
Ulrika S&ouml;derhamn, Bj&oslash;rg Dale, Olle S&ouml;derhamnFaculty of Health and Sport Sciences, University of Agder, Centre for Caring Research &ndash; Southern Norway, Grimstad, NorwayAbstract: Sense of coherence (SOC), with its components comprehensibility, manageability, and meaningfulness, is a major factor in the ability to cope successfully with stressors and is closely related to health. Qualitative studies related to SOC are scarce, and in this phenomenological interview study, self-care is investigated in relation to SOC. The aim of this study was to describe the lived experiences of self-care and features that may influence health and self-care among older home-…
Den kritiske ettertanke – undersøkelser fra en avgått redaktør
2011
Author's version of an article in the journal: Tidsskrift for psykisk helsearbeid. Also available from the publisher at: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tph/2011/01/art01 Denne artikkelen er en undersøkelse av Tidsskrift for psykisk helsearbeid i perioden 2004-2010. Undersøkelsen viser stor variasjon når det gjelder bidragsyternes utdannings- og erfaringsbakgrunn, og organisatorisk tilhørighet. Innholdet i Tidsskriftet er dominert av et budskap om forandring både i tenkning og praksis. Dette diskuteres i lys av myndighetenes strategier for styring og kontroll, og forfatteren etterlyser større dristighet fra helsemyndighetene når det gjelder å gi kraft til en slik forandring. Critical Reflections - i…
Mobilteknologi til videokommunikasjon ved trygghetsalarmer
2007
Masteroppgave i informasjons- og kommunikasjonsteknologi 2007 – Høgskolen i Agder, Grimstad Denne rapporten behandler bruk av mobiltelefoner som alarmsentral for hjemmeboende brukere. Studien legger vekt på de forskjellige mobile netts egenskaper og begrensninger som alarmbefordrer. Ønske om videotelefoni som alarm behandles og det foreslås løsninger for å ivareta dette uten å gå på akkord med sikkerhet. Juridiske sider med alarmer og videobilder behandles ut fra to ulike scenario avhengig av om hjelpere er offentlige eller private. Studien er gitt som en del av interregIII prosjektet Grensebroen Arena sin satsning innen emnet “Et år til hjemme” rettet mot eldre hjemme- boende. Prosjektet h…
Associations between parental rules, style of communication and children's screen time
2015
Background Research suggests an inverse association between parental rules and screen time in pre-adolescents, and that parents’ style of communication with their children is related to the children’s time spent watching TV. The aims of this study were to examine associations of parental rules and parental style of communication with children’s screen time and perceived excessive screen time in five European countries. Methods UP4FUN was a multi-centre, cluster randomised controlled trial with pre- and post-test measurements in each of five countries; Belgium, Germany, Greece, Hungary and Norway. Questionnaires were completed by the children at school and the parent questionnaire was brough…
"Vi ønsker å bli sett, men ønsker ikke å bli sett rart på" Om materialitet og mennesker i bofellesskap og dagsentra innen psykisk helsetjeneste i kom…
2015
Masteroppgave psykisk helsearbeid- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 Studien retter søkelyset mot bofellesskap og dagsentra beregnet for mennesker med psykiske lidelser. Bakgrunnen for bygging av bofellesskap og dagsentra var den omfattende deinstitusjonaliseringen som fant sted i hele den vestlige verden etter andre verdenskrig. Hensikten med denne studien er å undersøke hvorvidt de materielle stedene støtter opp om intensjonene bak oppførelsen av bofellesskap og dagsentra; om stedene bidrar til gode levekår og et bedre liv for brukerne. Fokus er på materialitet, regler og rutiner med utgangspunkt i forholdet mellom menneskene og det bygde sted. Problemstillingen er følgende: Hvilken betydning k…

Møtet med den nye hverdagen Om mestring og tilpasning hos bosatte flyktninger
2015
Masteroppgave psykisk helsearbeid- Universitetet i Agder, 2015 The purpose of this investigation has been to explore the difficulties and challenges refugees living through in their attempts to adapt to Norwegian society. What causes stress in the new daily life, how does it affect them, and how do they handled it? This is a qualitative investigation, based on data from interviews done with three-year intervals, with four refugees, allowing to find out whether changes are caused by structural conditions, or due do to the individual's inner resources, or both? The theoretical framework is sourced from stress- and coping theory. A hermeneutic phenomenological method, and the findings are anal…
