Patient flows through Valhalla : A survival analysis in the context of short-term care institutions
2019
Master's thesis Business Administration BE501 - University of Agder 2019 Individuals experiencing functional decline may often require some form of assistance in order to reassume their activities of daily living. A common form of rehabilitation is a stay at a short-term institution, yet readmissions to such care facilities often occur. Home-based reablement has surfaced in Norway during the past ten years and aims to assist the user in reaching their own activity goals through a self-committed and intensive program, assisted by health care workers. The objective of this study isinquiring into the patient flows between home-nurse areas and short-term institutions in southern Norway over the…
Bruk av e-læring i spesialisthelsetjenesten - hva nå?
2014
Masteroppgave i helse- og sosialinformatikk HSI 500 Universitetet i Agder 2014 Background The demand for efficiency and collaboration in the health care industry is ever increasing. There are requirements for increased skills among health care workers. Web-based learning is a form of training that is increasingly used. The purpose of this study was to review the use of web-based learning in specialist health care services. This study aims to answer following research questions: 1) How well is it facilitated for web based learning in the health care industry, 2) How is web-based learning perceive by the user, and 3) What are the learning outcomes after having conducted web-based learning.

Nursing students' transfer of learning outcomes from simulation-based training to clinical practice: A focus-group study
2019
AbstractBackgroundSimulation-based training is used to develop nursing students’ clinical performance in assessing and managing situations in clinical placements. The use of simulation-based training has increased and become an integrated part of nursing education. The aim of this study was to explore nursing students’ experiences of simulation-based training and how the students perceived the transfer of learning to clinical practice.MethodsEight focus group interviews were conducted with a total of 32 s- and third-year nursing students who participated in a simulation-based training organized as preparation for clinical placement. The transcribed interviews were analysed with thematic ana…
Nursing students' perceptions of combining hands-on simulation with simulated patients and a serious game in preparing for clinical placement in home…
2021
Abstract Background There is a growing demand to provide complex healthcare services in patients' own homes. However, high quality home healthcare clinical placements are often difficult to obtain, and arranging laboratory-based simulations to provide relevant clinical-practical learning experiences for all students is resource intensive. Objectives The aim of this study was to explore nursing students' perceptions of using a blended simulation approach, including hands-on simulation with simulated patients and a video-based serious game, in preparation for their home healthcare clinical placements. Design An exploratory qualitative design using focus group interviews was utilized. Setting …
Salmon lice in the Pacific Ocean show evidence of evolved resistance to parasiticide treatment
2022
AbstractParasitic salmon lice (Lepeophtheirus salmonis) threaten the economic and ecological sustainability of salmon farming, and their evolved resistance to treatment with emamectin benzoate (EMB) has been a major problem for salmon farming in the Atlantic Ocean. In contrast, the Pacific Ocean, where wild salmon are far more abundant, has not seen widespread evolution of EMB-resistant lice. Here, we use EMB bioassays and counts of lice on farms from the Broughton Archipelago, Canada—a core region of salmon farming in the Pacific—to show that EMB sensitivity has dramatically decreased since 2010, concurrent with marked decrease in the field efficacy of EMB treatments. Notably, these bioass…

Screening for Low Energy Availability in Male Athletes: Attempted Validation of LEAM-Q
2022
A questionnaire-based screening tool for male athletes at risk of low energy availability (LEA) could facilitate both research and clinical practice. The present options rely on proxies for LEA such screening tools for disordered eating, exercise dependence, or those validated in female athlete populations. in which the female-specific sections are excluded. To overcome these limitations and support progress in understanding LEA in males, centres in Australia, Norway, Denmark, and Sweden collaborated to develop a screening tool (LEAM-Q) based on clinical investigations of elite and sub-elite male athletes from multiple countries and ethnicities, and a variety of endurance and weight-sensiti…
Prevalence of relative energy deficiency in sport among well-trained male Norwegian cyclists and long-distance runners
2016
Masteroppgave i idrettsvitenskap - Universitetet i Agder 2016 Introduction Relative Energy Deficiency in Sport (RED-S) links low and reduced energy availability (EA) with negative health and performance consequences, though not well investigated in male endurance athletes. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of RED-S and associated health consequences in well-trained male endurance athletes. Methods Forty-one subjects, cyclists (n=21) and runners (n=20) [age: 40 (31-45) years; BMI: 23.5 (21.4-24.0) kg/m2; body-fat: 14.0% (10.0-16.5%); training volume: 12 (9-16) h/week presented as median + interquartile range] were recruited. Protocol included assessment of bone health, …

Unpacking Relational Dignity: In Pursuit of an Ethic of Care for Outdoor Therapies
2022
Dignity is a universal principle that requires us to treat every person as having worth beyond who a particular person is or what they do. Dignity is a complex and sometimes contested idea, that at times can be compromised in health care and allegedly also within the practice of outdoor therapy. Outdoor therapies comprise a range of therapeutic approaches including nature-based therapy, adventure therapy, animal-assisted therapy, forest therapy, wilderness therapy, surf therapy, and more. Within the literature of outdoor therapies there has been limited research on ethics related to common understandings of care concepts such as relational dignity and human rights. The aim of this paper is …
