Parents and nurses in a neonatal intensive care unit: the development of a mutual beneficial partnership in the care of the infant
2009
Ph.D. Thesis, University of Oslo - Faculty of Medicine, Institute of Health and Society ”Foreldre og sykepleiere på en nyfødtavdeling - utvikling av et likeverdig partnerskap i omsorgen for barnet” Studien viser hvor viktig det er umiddelbart å involvere foreldre i omsorgen for det premature barnet, og at ansvar avklares ved at sykepleier og foreldre i fellesskap blir enige om hvordan, på hvilke områder og i hvilken grad foreldre ønsker å delta. Etter fødselen og når barnet er akutt sykt vil sykepleier ta hovedansvaret mens foreldre oppfordres til å være til stede og gi barnet fysisk kontakt. Studien viser hvor krevende starten oppleves for foreldrene, og at sykepleiers tidlige involvering …

A purposive sample of eight occupational therapists were included, four worked in hospitals and four in community health services, respectively. Initially the interviews had an open form, but a…
Tvangsmedisinering som permanent unntakstilstand : Erfaringer fra feltarbeid
2012
Accepted version of an article in the journal: Tidsskrift for psykisk helsearbeid. Also available from Universitetsforlaget: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tph/2012/02/tvangsmedisinering_som_permanent_unntakstilstand Studien analyserer hvordan tvangsmedisinering praktiseres og oppleves av pasienter og ansatte. Den bygger på feltarbeid i en lukket akuttpsykiatrisk døgnenhet. Funnene oppsummeres i tre hovedpunkter: a) Både pasienter og ansatte opplevde avmakt overfor tvangsmedisinering, men ansatte mente at medikamenter var nødvendig selv om de måtte gis med tvang. b) Det som ble beskrevet som frivillig medisinering, kunne erfares som tvangsmedisinering. c) Pasienter beskrev plagsomme bivirkninger, m…
Er sykepleiediagnoser relevant i psykisk helsearbeid?
2009
Akseptert versjon av en artikkel som er publisert i tidsskriftet: Tidsskrift for psykisk helsearbeid Forlagets publiserte versjon på Idunn: http://www.idunn.no/ts/tph/2009/01/er_sykepleiediagnoser_relevant_i_psykisk_helsearbeid I denne artikkelen, som baserer seg et på et åtte måneders feltarbeid i en psykiatrisk rehabiliteringsavdeling, retter jeg et kritisk søkelys på anvendelse av sykepleiediagnoser i psykisk helsearbeid. Jeg tar utgangspunkt i det amerikanske sykepleiediagnostiske klassifikasjonssystemet NANDA-NOC-NIC og vurderer relevansen av slike systemer på bakgrunn av erfaringer fra mitt feltarbeid. Jeg fant at såkalte tegn på psykisk lidelse ikke var statiske størrelser, men endre…

2022
Abstract Background High levels of psychological distress and poor overall quality of life (QOL) have been identified among nursing students during the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic necessitated improvised reconstructions of educational curriculums and restrictions in clinical placement and training at campuses, possibly reducing educational quality. Objectives We explored whether baccalaureate nursing students’ concerns and satisfaction with the educational curriculum, focusing on the conduct of clinical training, were associated with perceived psychological distress and overall QOL. Methods Baccalaureate nursing students (N=6088) from five Norwegian universities were invited to an inter…
Working as a nurse in community health services during Covid-19: a qualitative study.
2022
Abstract Background During the Covid-19 pandemic, new roles, increased workload, lack of staffing and infection control equipment, unclear infection control guidelines and conflicting information have led to uncertainty and unpredictability for health workers. Although community home-care nurses have been exposed to a range of personal and professional stressors during the pandemic, few studies have focused on their experiences. The aim of this study was to explore how Norwegian home-care nurses experienced the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic. This knowledge may contribute to preparations for meetings with patients in future pandemics, how management can support its employees and how to…

The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of child and school health nurses with the Starting Right innovation.
