The healthy body image (HBI) intervention: Effects of a school-based cluster-randomized controlled trial with 12-months follow-up
2019
Published by Elsevier Ltd. Under a Creative Commons license We examined the effects of the Healthy Body Image (HBI) intervention on positive embodiment and health-related quality of life among Norwegian high school students. The intervention comprised three interactive workshops, with body image, media literacy, and lifestyle as main themes. In total, 2,446 12th grade boys (43%) and girls (mean age 16.8 years) from 30 high schools participated in a cluster-randomized controlled study with the HBI intervention and a control condition as the study arms. Data were collected at baseline, post-intervention, 3- and 12-months follow-up, and analysed using linear mixed regression models. The HBI in…
Criterion validity of the Saltin-Grimby Physical Activity Level Scale in adolescents. The Fit Futures Study
2022
Background The Saltin-Grimby Physical Activity Level Scale (SGPALS) is commonly used to measure physical activity (PA) in population studies, but its validity in adolescents is unknown. This study aimed to assess the criterion validity of the SGPALS against accelerometry in a large sample of adolescents. A secondary aim was to examine the validity across strata of sex, body mass index (BMI), parental educational level, study program and self-reported health. Methods The study is based on data from 572 adolescents aged 15–17 years who participated in the Fit Futures Study 2010–11 in Northern Norway. The participants were invited to wear an accelerometer (GT3X) attached to their hip for seve…
Cross-sectional and longitudinal associations of active travel, organised sport and physical education with accelerometer-assessed moderate-to-vigoro…
2022
Abstract Background Physical activity (PA) declines during childhood. Important sources of PA are active travel, organised sport and physical education (PE), but it is unclear how these domain-specific PA sources contribute to (changes in) daily moderate-to-vigorous PA (MVPA) in young people. This study aimed to examine (1) the cross-sectional association between domain-specific physical activity (i.e., active travel, organised sport and PE) and daily minutes in accelerometer-assessed MVPA; and (2) the longitudinal association between domain-specific physical activity at baseline and change in daily minutes in MVPA. Methods Participants (baseline age 11.3 ± .1.2 years) were drawn from three…
Perceived family cohesion, social support, and quality of life in patients undergoing treatment for substance use disorders compared with patients wi…
2021
Abstract Purpose Support from family and other social network elements can be important in helping patients to cope with practical and emotional consequences of diseases. The aim of the study was to examine perception of family and social support and quality of life (QoL) in patients undergoing treatment for substance use disorders (SUDs). We compared them with patients in treatment for mental disorders (MDs) and physical disorders (PDs). Methods We used data from a national multicenter study that recruited patients (N = 518) from three treatment domains; SUD treatment units, MD treatment units, and PD treatment units (severe neurological conditions or cancer). Data on family cohesion, so…
Peer Support for People Living With HIV: A Scoping Review
2021
Peer support for people living with HIV has gained increasing traction and is considered a way to take an active role in self-management. The existing research examining peer support interventions has reported promising evidence of the benefits of peer support. The purpose of our scoping review was to describe research on peer support for people living with HIV. We included 53 studies and sorted them into analytic categories and conducted descriptive analyses. The studies that were published between November/December 2000 and May 2021, had a range of study designs and heterogeneous priority groups, and included 20,657 participants from 16 countries. We identified 43 evaluations of the effe…
Establishing the Convergent Validity of the Travel Habit Questions in the Health Behavior in School-Aged Children Questionnaire by Quantifying Active…
2021
BackgroundActive travel (cycling or walking to school) can be a substantial part of adolescents' daily physical activity. Research on transport activities primarily relies on self-reported indices of travel mode and travel time. However, many researchers do not report the psychometric properties of their instruments. The Health Behavior in School-aged Children (HBSC) questionnaire is a commonly used instrument, but the items in this questionnaire on travel habits have not yet been validated. The present study was conducted to investigate the convergent validity and agreement between the HBSC items and a travel diary on (1) transport mode to and from school and (2) travel time to school.Meth…
The Association Between School Meal Offers and Well-being, Learning Culture, Motivation, and School Performance among Norwegian Secondary School Pupi…
2021
Master's thesis in Public health science (ME516) Background While the relationship between diet and nutrition, and school performance has been explored in several studies, there is a lacking number of studies addressing the effect of organized school meals on pupils’ school performance and social health factors. Thus, the aim of this study is to examine the association between the serving of school meals in Norwegian secondary schools and well-being, learning culture, motivation, and school performance among its pupils. Methods The cross-sectional analyses of the present study are founded on data from a larger survey conducted by the Norwegian Institute of Public Health, and data from the s…
Arbeidsmiljøets betydning for sykepleierstudenters valg av arbeidsgiver En kvalitativ studie med søkelys på rekruttering av sykepleiere til kommunale…
2023
Det er behov for at flere sykepleiere vil jobbe i kommunehelsetjenesten. En spørreundersøkelse blant tredjeårsstudenter fra et årskull i bachelorprogram sykepleie (n=101) synliggjorde arbeidsmiljø som den viktigste faktoren for valg av arbeidsgiver som nyutdannede sykepleiere. Denne artikkelen omhandler en oppfølgingsstudie, hvor hensikten var å få økt innsikt i hva sykepleierstudenter forbinder med et godt arbeidsmiljø. Studien hadde et kvalitativt design, med semistrukturerte individuelle intervjuer av 15 studenter rekruttert fra samme kull som spørreundersøkelsen. Datamaterialet ble analysert tematisk, og vi fant at studentene beskrev et godt arbeidsmiljø som spennende, støttende og leve…
From evidence-based to sustainable healthcare: Cochrane revisited
2022
Evidence-based healthcare is the prevailing model for healthcare services. In Cochrane's seminal thinking, political context was included with the purpose of promoting healthcare equity. However, the subsequent evidence-based healthcare models marginalized political context. In this paper, we argue that current models of evidence-based healthcare fail to respond to emerging healthcare challenges. We claim that reintegration of political context is crucial to make healthcare sustainable. Global communities are anticipating ecological crises with immense repercussions for healthcare. This prospect illustrates that healthcare models failing to integrate political context also risk neglecting s…
Fra behovskartlegging til innovasjon for personer med utviklingshemming – noen metodiske og etiske refleksjoner
2019
Offentlig sektor erfarer i økende grad et behov for innovasjon og teknologiutvikling av sine tjenester. Et viktig premiss er at nye løsninger skal løse reelle og fremtidsrettede behov, og som en følge av dette har oppmerksomheten rundt brukerinvolvering økt de senere årene. Det er mangel på kunnskap om hvordan brukeropplevelser kan bidra, og mange innovasjonsprosjekter har mislyktes på grunn av manglende forståelse for behovene til dem som skal dra nytte av nye løsninger. Det manglende kunnskapsgrunnlaget utfordres særlig når man skal innovere i komplekse kontekster der mange aktører er involvert, og når sluttbruker har en kognitiv funksjonsnedsettelse. Disse utfordringene er fremtredende i…
