Overcoming barriers to evidence-based patient blood management: a restricted review
2020
Abstract Background Blood transfusions are associated with a range of adverse patient outcomes, including coagulopathy, immunomodulation and haemolysis, which increase the risk of morbidity and mortality. Consideration of these risks and potential benefits are necessary when deciding to transfuse. Patient blood management (PBM) guidelines exist to assist in clinical decision-making, but they are underutilised. Exploration of barriers to the implementation and utilisation of the PBM guidelines is required. This study aimed to identify common barriers and implementation strategies used to implement PBM guidelines, with a comparison against current expert opinion. Methods A restricted review a…
What matters to older adults? Exploring person‐centred care during and after transitions between hospital and home
2021
Aims and objectives To explore person-centred care provided to a group of older adults (65+) by understanding their experiences of care received, their participation in care and what matters to them during and after the transition process between hospital and home. Background Although facilitating person-centred care (PCC) has gained increasing importance globally over the last few decades, its practical implementation has been challenging. This has caused difficulties in determining its core elements and best practices. Person-centred care aims to deliver healthcare services based on individuals' preferences. Several approaches have been developed to better implement person-centred care pr…
BMC Public Health
2022
Background In the past decades, climate change has been impacting human lives and health via extreme weather and climate events and alterations in labour capacity, food security, and the prevalence and geographical distribution of infectious diseases across the globe. Climate change and health indicators (CCHIs) are workable tools designed to capture the complex set of interdependent interactions through which climate change is affecting human health. Since 2015, a novel sub-set of CCHIs, focusing on climate change impacts, exposures, and vulnerability indicators (CCIEVIs) has been developed, refined, and integrated by Working Group 1 of the “Lancet Countdown: Tracking Progress on Health an…

This study examined the relationships of sociodemographic characteristics, social distancing aspects and psychosocial factors on psychosocial well-being among undergraduate students during the social distancing period due to COVID-19. A web-based survey was conducted of undergraduate students at a public university in Brazil (n = 620). Demographics, socioeconomic status (SES), social distancing factors, negative affectivity (DASS-21), sense of coherence (SOC-13), social support and psychosocial well-being (GHQ-12) were measured. The direct and indirect links between was variables was tested using s…

Mutual learning: exploring collaboration, knowledge and roles in the development of recovery-oriented services. A hermeneutic-phenomenological study
2021
ABSTRACT Purpose The concept of recovery is commonly described as multifaceted and contested in the field of mental health and substance abuse.

Methods Eight pairs of participants were interviewed together, in accordance with the dyadic interview method. The dyads/pairs consisted of service users and professional helpers. A collaborative hermeneutic-phenomenological analysis was used to analyse data. Results Data were analysed into three overarching and entangled themes, exploring how recovery…
Å leve et menneskeverdig liv - Martha Nussbaums globale helseetikk
2015
Nylig igangsatte FN Post-2015, sin nye utviklingsagenda. Sentralt er en global kamp for bedret helse, hvor det å leve et menneskeverdig liv står i sentrum. Imidlertid er forståelsen av selve helsebegrepet omstridt. Noen mener at det bør knyttes an til jus og menneskerettigheter, mens andre foreslår etikk og menneskeverd. Dette hviler i sin tur på motstridende menneskesyn i den globale helseetiske diskursen, nemlig mennesket som enten autonomt eller avhengig. I artikkelen analyserer jeg denne debatten ut fra det jeg hevder er Martha Nussbaums globale helseetikk, som baseres på hennes kapabilitetstilnærming så vel som begrep om ‘helse som livskvalitet’. Min konklusjon er at Nussbaums normativ…
User evaluation of a therapist-guided internet-delivered treatment program for anxiety disorders: A qualitative study
2021
Therapist-guided internet-based cognitive behaviour therapy (ICBT) has been proposed as a potential means to increase individuals' access to quality mental health care and effective treatment. Guided ICBT aims to increase a patient's knowledge and competence to better cope with their disorder. Despite the growing evidence supporting the effects of guided ICBT, there is remarkably little research on the different factors that are important for patients to achieve effects from using such digital treatment interventions. Thus, the aim of this study was to conduct a user evaluation of a therapist-guided ICBT program using the updated DeLone and McLean (D&M) model for measuring information syste…
Sammenhengen mellom overvekt, selvbilde og fysisk aktivitet hos ungdom
2006
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap, Høgskolen i Agder Kristiansand 2006 Bakgrunn: En økende forekomst av overvekt og fedme blant barn og unge også i Norge er grunnlaget for denne studien. Det har vært relativt mye forskning hvor en har undersøkt de fysiologiske konsekvensene av overvekt, men det har til sammenligning vært lite forsking på hvordan overvekt påvirker psykososiale forhold. Formål: Formålet med denne oppgaven har vært å belyse temaet overvekt og ungdom gjennom variablene selvbilde, kroppsbilde og fysisk aktivitetsnivå. Først ble det undersøkt om det var kjønnsforskejller på hver av disse variablene og om det var forskjeller i tilknytning til vekt. På bakgrunn av sammenhengen mello…
Effect av funksjonell styrketrening hos gruppen 65+
2006
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap Høgskolen i Agder, Kristiansand 2006 Bakgrunn: Undersøkelser viser at man blir mindre fysisk aktiv etter fylte 60 år(49), samtidig så reduseres både muskelstyrke og muskelpower med økende alder(32). Flere av de daglige aktivitetene eldre møter i hverdagen stiller krav til både muskelkraft und muskelpower, som for eksempel å reise seg opp fra stol eller å løfte tunge gjenstander(26,32).Samtidig stiller flere av aktivitetene også krav til både koordinasjon og balanse, som for eksempel å gå i trapper(6,89). Styrketrening har vært anbefalt til eldre for å øke muskelstyrken og muskelpower med den hensikt å øke den funksjonelle kapasiteten. En forbedring eller et …
