"En av oss" : en studie av muligheter og utfordringer ved ansettelser av personer med erfaringskompetanse i psykisk helsevern
2010
Masteroppgave i psykisk helsearbeid- Universitetet i Agder 2010 Background: How do we provide the best suitable service for mental health? If we hold on to the traditional medical models and methods that are based on evidence and has worked for years, or do we develop the approach further and see if other types of knowledge should be included and be seen as valid in treatment of mental illness? Maybe developing the term “empowerment” can contribute to change the original pattern of treatment? My research involves a continuation of the empowerment concept, as I see it, and is about the question; can and should people with this expertise be employed in mental health care either through clinic…

Masteroppgave i psykisk helsearbeid- Universitetet i Agder 2010 The theme of this thesis is collaboration between school nurses at secondary schools in Aust- and Vest-Agder in Norway and the Department of Child and Adolescent Mental Health at Sørlandet Sykehus (ABUP). The purpose of this study is to contribute to better collaboration between ABUP and school nurses. My wish is that the findings will benefit the users of the services and that they will be useful to others involved in interdisciplinary work. The issues for this study has been how school nurses experience collaborating with ABUP, what expectations and wishes they have in relation to this collaboration, what thoughts they have a…
Comparing 15D and SF-6D Performance in Fragility Wrist and Hip Fracture Patients in a Two-Year Follow-Up Case-Control Study
2012
Accepted version of an article in the journal:Value in Health. Published available from Elsevier on Science Direct: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jval.2012.08.2200 Objectives To examine and compare the two utility and health-related quality-of-life (HRQOL) measures 15D and (SF-6D) in fragility wrist and hip fracture patients and controls, study the responsiveness of 15D and SF-6D, and examine the impact of these fractures on changes in 15D and SF-6D scores over 2 years. Methods A total of 152 wrist fracture patients and 164 controls and 61 hip fracture patients and 61 controls with 15D and SF-6D scores were studied. Results The mean 15D score decreased significantly in wrist fracture patients…
Hvordan er den fysiske formen blant norsk ungdom i alderen13 til 15 år?
2007
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap Universitetet i Agder 2007 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 fordelt p…
Kunnskap om fenomenet sosial loffing og gruppeprestasjon
2012
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap- Universitetet i Agder 2012 The aim of this study was to investigate whether knowledge of the social loafing phenomenon affects motivational loss and individual effort reduction in groups. 27 participants aged 17-25 years completed two test sessions, in each of which they performed two maximal cycle time trials; one of relatively short duration (one minute) and one of relatively long duration (three minutes). The participants completed the first test session under individual conditions in which their individual performance was measured. Prior to the second test session, the participants in the intervention group were informed of the social loafing phenomenon…
Sling exercise therapy (SET) for children with impaired motor coordination : achieving distal control through proximal stability - a pilot study
2012
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap- Universitetet i Agder 2012 Purpose: This study examined the effect of an eight week Sling Exercise Therapy (SET) training programme in children and the response to their gross and fine motor coordination skills. Methods: The study was a non-controlled experimental design. An intervention group consisting of 13 boys aged 8 to 12 years identified with motor coordination difficulties trained in an eight week long SET programme designed to strengthen their proximal stabilizing musculature. Pre and post testing were performed using the Movement Assessment Battery for Children (M-ABC-2) and a self developed Grapho-motor Function Test for Children (GFTC) to quanti…
The impact of instability on force development and the effect of strength training under unstable conditions
2010
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap Universitetet i Agder 2010 Objective: The efficacy of maximal strength training on unstable surfaces remains unclear. The aims of this study were therefore to 1) quantify maximal dynamic force during a push-up movement with and without instability, 2) investigate whether training under unstable conditions would decrease the deficit between unstable and stable maximal force and 3) compare strength adaptations in the shoulder complex between traditional strength training and unstable strength training. Methods: 29 physically active university students (23 males, 6 females) performed maximal dynamic force tests under stable (explosive push-up on force platform,…
Coaching efficacy i fotball : en undersøkelse om fotballtreneres mestringstro i relasjon til trenererfaring, spillererfaring og idrettsutdannelse
2011
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap -Universitetet i Agder 2011 Coaching efficacy er den troen en trener har på sine evner og ferdigheter til å påvirke lag og utøveres prestasjoner og resultater. Hensikten med denne studien er å undersøke fotballtreneres coaching efficacy i relasjon til deres trenererfaring, spillererfaring, og idrettsutdannelse. Med utgangspunkt i coaching efficacy begrepet (Feltz, Chase, Moritz & Sullivan, 1999) er en norsk versjon av spørreskjemaet CES benyttet i en kvantitativ studie. Deltakerene i studien er 99 mannlige trenere som er trenere på alle nivåer, fra landslag til og med aldersbestemte lag. Gjennomsnittsalderen er på 41,1 år (SD= 9,5 år) og aldervariasjonen er …
Sammenligning av fettoksideringen og energiforbruket under intervalltrening og kontinuerlig trening blant godt trente menn
2011
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap -Universitetet i Agder 2011 Background: This study was conducted on the basis of the limited literature on fat metabolism among well-trained men during high-intensive training. Purpose: We have: 1) quantified the total energy expenditure and the substrate oxidation among well-trained men, during a high-intensity interval session and a continuous session matched for average workload, 2) compared the relative fat oxidation during a high-intensity interval session and a continuous session to the maximal fat oxidation rate identified by the Fatmax protocol of Achten, Gleeson and Jeukendrup and 3) compared the energy expenditure after a highintensity interval ses…
