    Hur sov du i natt?: en litteraturstudie ur patientens perspektiv2019Ingår i: Sömn och hälsa, ISSN 2003-234X, nr 2, s. 31-44Artikel i tidskrift (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [sv]

    Många människor har sömnproblem och sover mindre än rekommenderat hemma. På sjukhus, i en helt främmande miljö, är sannolikt sömnen ännu sämre. Det är därför angeläget att det finns kunskap om hur det är att sova på sjukhus samt vilka faktorer som påverkar sömnen. Då kan eventuella sömnproblem uppmärksammas och omvårdnadsinterventioner kan tillämpas för att underlätta för dessa patienter. Kunskapen kan också användas preventivt för att minska eventuella störningsmoment som kan påverka sömnen och hälsan.

    A systemic perspective on children’s well-being in military families in different countries2019Ingår i: JMVFH Journal of military, veteran and familiy health, E-ISSN 2368-7924, Vol. 5, nr S2, s. 79-96Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Introduction: Children are influenced by different environments – home, friends, school, community, society, and the existence and availability of various services – and child well-being is the outcome of the interrelationships between the child and these environments. The military is one of the environments that shapes the well-being of children in military families, and the environments interact with each other. Methods: Our main assumption is that the effect of military environment on child well-being may vary in different societies depending on the general social security system. We describe how the military children’s well-being is embedded in military systems, which in turn is embedded in welfare state. The main question is how the well-being of children from military families varies across countries and how much variation can be explained by the interplay between military systems and different welfare regimes. Results: We begin by describing the differences in welfare states and military systems, and then give a short overview of children’s well-being in the context of different welfare regimes (e.g., availability of public child care, health care, and access to education and extracurricular activities). Discussion: Next, we look at the interplay between the military and welfare regimes and, finally, we show how the well-being of military children is supported across countries by their different welfare regimes.

    Military families in EStonia, Slovenia and Sweden: similarities and differences2020Ingår i: Contemporary military challenges, ISSN 2232-2825, Vol. 22, s. 69-88Artikel i tidskrift (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [en]

    The concept “military family” is very well known in the international academic sphere, but is not a widely used term in many countries. The aim of this article is to elaborate the concept of the military family and the situation of these families in Estonia, Slovenia and Sweden. The similarities and differences between these three countries are highlighted by showing how the cultural, social and military context may influence and shape the recognition of military families, services and support provision.

    Female university students’ physical activity levels and associated factors: a cross-sectional study in southwestern Saudi Arabia2013Ingår i: International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, ISSN 1661-7827, E-ISSN 1660-4601, Vol. 10, nr 8, s. 3502-3517Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: The high prevalence of physical inactivity in Saudi Arabia is a growing challenge to public health. This study aimed to examine the prevalence of physical activity (PA) and associated factors among female university students. Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 663 randomly selected female university students who completed the Arab Teens Life Style questionnaire. Data included measurements of anthropometric, socioeconomic and environmental factors, as well as self-reported PA. Ordinal regression was used to identify associated factors with low, moderate and high PA levels. Results: The mean age of participants was 20.4 years (SD 1.5). Mean BMI of the students in relation to PA were 23.0, 22.9, 22.1 for high, moderate and low levels of activity, respectively. The analysis revealed significantly higher PA levels among married students, those with high educated mothers, and those who lived far from parks, and lower activity levels among underweight students. Conclusions: This study raises four important determinants for female university students’ PA levels. These factors could be of great importance in the endeavor to prevent the health-threatening increase in physical inactivity patterns and thus non-communicable diseases and obesity where the focus should be on the specific situation and needs of women in Saudi Arabia.

    Prevalence and association of female weight status and dietary habits with sociodemographic factors: a cross-sectional study in Saudi Arabia2015Ingår i: Public Health Nutrition, ISSN 1368-9800, E-ISSN 1475-2727, Vol. 18, nr 5, s. 784-796Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    OBJECTIVE: Research about the prevalence of underweight and overweight/obesity in the Saudi Arabian female population is limited. The aim of the present study was to examine the dietary habits and the prevalence of underweight and overweight/obesity and associated factors among female university students.

    DESIGN: A cross-sectional study.

    SETTING: A university centre for female students in south-western Saudi Arabia.

    SUBJECTS: The study involved 663 randomly selected female university students who self-reported their physical activities, nutritional habits and socio-economic factors. Multiple linear and logistic regression analyses were used to identify factors associated with the students' BMI, dietary variables, underweight and overweight/obesity.

    RESULTS: The majority of the university females were normal weight (56·9 %), but a high prevalence of underweight (19·2 %) and overweight/obesity (23·8 %) occurred. Social factors significantly associated with BMI were the presence of obese parents and siblings as well as physical activity levels, marital status, number of sisters, father's level of education and more frequent intake of French fries/potato chips (>3 times/week). Several variables were found to correlate with dietary habits, underweight and overweight/obesity. Of special interest is the association between the number of siblings and the participants' BMI and dietary intake in both negative and positive ways.

    CONCLUSIONS: The findings of this research have implications for health promotion and prevention of malnutrition among college-aged females. Health-care providers and policy makers need to involve the whole family when promoting females' physical activity. The study serves as an evidence-based background for planning and implementation of interventions targeting improvement of highly educated populations' nutritional habits.

    Perceived and ideal body image in young women in South Western Saudi Arabia2015Ingår i: Journal of Obesity, Vol. 2015, s. 1-7, artikel-id 697163Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Objectives. The aim of this study was to investigate perceived and ideal body image (BI) and associated factors among female university students in Saudi Arabia. Methods. This cross-sectional study included 663 university female students. Anthropometric measurements including weight, height, BMI, and BI perception (the 9-figure silhouette) were obtained. Descriptive and logistic regression analysis were conducted. Results. An agreement between actual, perceived, and ideal BI was found in 23% of the participants. Behavioral (activity levels), social (presence of obese parents and fathers’ level of education), and economic factors (households’ monthly income, number of cars in the household, and kind of residence) were positively and significantly associated with the desire to be thinner. Similarly, socioeconomic associations (number of sisters and number of cars in the household) correlated positively and significantly with the desire to be heavier. Conclusions. The whole family should rather be considered in interventions related to appearance concerns and BI discrepancies. Furthermore, campaigns targeting improvement of adolescents’ physical self-image should be a major priority of the public health sector.

    Discrepancies between actual, perceived and ideal body image among young female university students in southwestern Saudi Arabia2014Konferensbidrag (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [en]

    Rationale: Body-shape preference is an important determinant of obesity and underweight, but studies on body image among females in the Arab region are, at most, scanty. The aim of this study was to describe the prevalence of underweight and overweight/obesity among Saudi Arabian female university students, and to investigate discrepancies between their actual, perceived and ideal body shape.

    Methods: This cross sectional study included 663  female students in a university centre in Saudi Arabia. Anthropometric measurements including weight, height, BMI and body image scale (9-figures silhouette) were used. A cross-tabulation was made between “warped self-image” against “subjective goal image”. Regression analysis was used to predict variables related to body image perception.

    Results: The participants had a mean age of 20.4 years (SD 1.5), 16% were underweight and 25% were over- weight/obese.Discrepancy in subjective goal image: 44% wished they were slimmer and 20% that they were heavier than what they perceived themselves. Thus, 36% were happy with their current body shape.Warped self-image: It was 16% that thought they were slimmer and 18% that they were heavier than what they actually were. Thus, in 61% of cases the perceived body image was in agreement with their actual body shape. Cross-tabulation showed that only 23% had an agreemen tbetween their actual, perceived and ideal body shape. Of all variables entered into the regression analysis, only BMI was able to predict how the subject perceives herself in the body image scale (R square = 0.676; p < 0.000). None of the variables entered was significant enough to predict how the subject wishes to look like.

    Conclusion: Discrepancies between actual, perceived and ideal body image is common among the Saudi Arabian female students and can possibly lead to eating disorders and increased  prevalence of underweight oroverweight/obesity.

    Does flotation-rest (restricted environmental stimulation technique) have an effect on sleep?2020Ingår i: European Journal of Integrative Medicine, ISSN 1876-3820, E-ISSN 1876-3839, Vol. 33, artikel-id 101047Artikel, forskningsöversikt (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Introduction: Some therapies described within alternative and complementary medicine are advertised as sleep-promoting, including flotation-REST (Restricted Environmental Stimulation Technique). Flotation-REST induces deep relaxation through sensory isolation in a water-filled tank and is plausibly reported to mitigate insomnia problems, which have consistently been associated with stress, worry and arousal. However, the effects of flotation-REST have not been previously summarised. The aim of this systematic review was to investigate the efficacy of flotation-REST on sleep in clinical and non-clinical samples. Methods: A systematic search for studies on flotation-REST, involving at least one sleep-related variable, was conducted in the databases PubMed, Google Scholar, Web of Science and PsychINFO. Thirteen full-text articles met the inclusion criteria and were considered for eligibility. Nine were included in the current review. The methodological quality of the studies was assessed using a structured checklist, and a standard data extraction sheet was used to summarize the ratings. Results: In all included studies, flotation-REST demonstrated beneficial effects on sleep, both in clinical and nonclinical samples. In two studies, the effects were maintained 4 or 6 months post-treatment. The quality of the sleep outcome measures were, however, low in most studies, particularly regarding the participants' nightly sleep habits, self-reported sleep problems and insomnia diagnosis. Conclusions: Flotation-REST may be a promising treatment for insomnia symptoms, but more controlled studies with established sleep measures, and on populations with clinically verified insomnia, are needed.

    Student engagement in hybrid taught large introduction courses during COVID-192021Konferensbidrag (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [en]

    To build student engagement and belonging early in the education is crucial for retention and student success. Since the COVID-19 outbreak, universities worldwide were forced to seek for alternative and complementary teaching approaches. In Sweden, universities adopted hybrid teaching since the end of the spring in 2020. The traditional face-to-face teaching facilitates immediate, real-time engagement with activities such as discussion and instant interaction between instructors and students and/or among students which encourages active learning, while an online teaching allows the students to watch videos and read requested materials many times, to complete the assignments at their suitable time and place, to enable good discussion and interaction via online forum and messaging. A hybrid approach combines the advantages of both face-to-face and online approaches. Research shows several challenges with online teaching, for examples, students´ engagement [1], communication between student(s) and teacher(s) [2], connection with/within the group, study groups, study buddies [3] as well as social engagement [4]. When a hybrid approach is applied to the First-Year courses due to the COVID-19, these challenges might have even more serious implications on the retention and success. This study explores two successful cases of how active learning, togetherness and engagement can be created among First-Year students. The study is based on two large introductory courses for the first-year students in Computer Science and in Business Administration at Kristianstad University, Sweden. Both programmes provide the Introduction courses for larger number of students (135 respective 195 students). Various methods and tools were used in the course design to engage students and create an active learning [5] environment using the hybrid approach. The results and experience were also presented. We experienced that students had actively participated in the arranged activities and the course passing rate was higher compared with the face-to-face teaching. The course evaluation also showed that the students were satisfied with course contents and various course activities.

    Barnahusbesök för polisförhör: händelser före, under och efter2021Ingår i: Barnsliga sammanhang: Forskning om barns och ungdomars hälsa och välmående / [ed] Eva K. Clausson & Eva-Lena Einberg, Kristianstad: Kristianstad University Press , 2021, s. 69-80Kapitel i bok, del av antologi (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [sv]

    Barnahus finns på flera platser runt om i Sverige och tar emot barn som misstänks ha varit utsatta för brott, såsom våld eller sexuella övergrepp, för polisförhör och stöd. I Barnahus samverkar åklagare, polis, socialtjänst, barnmedicin, rättsmedicin samt barn-och ungdomspsykiatri (BUP). Barn tas emot i en barnvänlig miljö och ska inte behöva träffa olika personer på olika platser. Om barnets vårdnadshavare är misstänkt, kan barn hämtas till förhör utan att vårdnadshavaren initialt känner till det och efter polisförhöret ska barnet vanligen hem till sina vårdnadshavare igen, om inte socialtjänsten bedömt att det finns behov av omedelbart skydd. I doktorsavhandlingen Iscensätta barnperspektiv. Före, under och efter Barnahusbesök (Kläfverud, 2021) följs vad som händer vid olika tidpunkter och platser före, under och efter Barnahusbesök för polisförhör, med stöd av vad barn och medföljande vuxna har berättat. Det här kapitlet utgör en sammanfattning och presenterar exempel ur avhandlingen, vilken visar på olika, ibland motstridiga, förväntningar som barn kan ställas inför i samband med Barnahusbesök. Vikten av att beakta händelser utanför själva Barnahuset lyfts fram.

    Children in Barnahus - an interdisciplinary research study from childen's perspective: children in Barnahus-before, during and after being in CH2014Konferensbidrag (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [en]

    When a parent is suspected for child abuse, the court in Sweden appoints a lawyer who can decide about the child’s participation in CH without parent’s knowledge or consent. The lawyer brings the child to CH. A familiar person, for example a teacher, accompanies the child. In the study children and their parents are interviewed about their experience and understanding of CH.

    Child perspective on being summoned to, visiting and exiting Barnahus2019Ingår i: European conference on domestic violence: multi-agency work / [ed] Carolina Øverlien, NKVTS and Kari Stefansen, 2019Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Aim

    This study forms an essential part in informing effective prevention and interventions with children exposed to or at risk of domestic violence and sexual abuse, focusing on children becoming summoned, visiting and exiting Barnahus with a child perspective.

     

    Background

    In Sweden when custodians are under suspicion, the child becomes summoned to Barnahus without the custodians’ knowledge or consent. In purpose to provide safety for the child, a well-known person (e.g teacher or schoolnurse), becomes a so called safety person accompanying the child.

    The commission of the child’s welfare worker is to offer and provide early interventions securing the best interest of the child.

     

    Methods

    We have interviewed children, parents, safety persons and welfare case workers, and observed at a Barnahus. This research was conducted in collaboration with the involved Barnahus including a consultative panel given and giving regular feedback contributing to further orientation.

     

    Findings

    The children were scarcely informed when summoned to Barnahus, not given information about what was going on or why. In the transitions between place and time, the expectations on the child, the accompanying safety person as well as their relation varied. For example, in the upcoming police interview children were expected to perform, act and take responsibility.

    When a child was assessed not in need of immediate protection, the child returned to preschool or school with the safety person. Both returns to their ordinary roles. Not having a dialogue with their child welfare worker, the children were risking exiting Barnahus without enough information nor having continuing support secured.

     

    Conclusions/recommendations

    Children have legal rights to become addressed as acting subjects and involved in concerns of their own. In providing safety for the children, safety persons need information about their role and the Barnahus concept.

    Evaluation of self-management program outcomes: Adaptation and testing of a Swedish version of the Health Education Impact Questionnaire (heiQ)2018Ingår i: Journal of Applied Measurement, ISSN 1529-7713, Vol. 19, nr 3, s. 303-319Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Self-management programs require a range of indicators to evaluate their outcomes. The Health Education Impact Questionnaire (heiQ) was developed to meet this need. The heiQ contains 40 items with 4 response categories, representing eight scales. We developed a Swedish version of the heiQ that was tested by cognitive interviews (n=15) and psychometrically (n=177) using classical test theory (CTT) and Rasch measurement theory (RMT). The Swedish heiQ was easily understood by interviewees and met CTT criteria, with supported scaling assumptions (corrected item-total correlations, ≥0.37) and reliability (ordinal alpha ≥0.78). General support was demonstrated for the measurement properties of the eight heiQ scales by acceptable RMT fit. However, there were signs of malfunctioning response categories for four items in two scales, and of suboptimal item coverage of the measurement continua. The Swedish heiQ appears comparable to other available language versions. Further efforts may be needed to optimize response categories and measurement precision.

    Uppsökande verksamhet i Osby kommun: Äldre personers perspektiv2016Rapport (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [sv]

    Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva äldres upplevelser och erfarenheter av uppsökandeverksamhet i Osby kommun. Förebyggande hälsoinsatser för äldre bedrivs iSverige med olika benämningar. I Osby kommun bedrivs de med benämning uppsökandeverksamhet. Uppsökande verksamhet med förebyggande insatser och råd kanstärka äldres egenvård och skjuta upp funktionsnedsättning samt förbättra den äldrepersonens välbefinnande och livskvalitet. Ur samhällsekonomiskt perspektiv kan uppsökandeverksamhet också minska kostnader för vård och omsorg på sikt.Metoden är en kvalitativ intervjuundersökning med öppna frågor. Studien genomfördesunder juni- november år 2015 och tio äldre personer intervjuades. Av dessa var detfem kvinnor och fem män. Intervjuerna analyserades enligt Graneheim och Lundmanskvalitativa innehållsanalys.I resultatet framkom två kategorier och sju subkategorier. Essenserna som hittadesfrån intervjuerna var: förväntningar, tillit i mötet, attityder till förändring, information,utförarens kompetens och personlighet, vikten av relation och kreativitet. Resultatetvisar tydligt att äldre upplever arbetet med uppsökande verksamhet värdefullt och villse detta arbete fortsätta.Denna studie ger utan tvekan stöd att utföra uppsökande verksamhet och uppsökandeverksamhet kan ses som en redskap för de äldre att skapa bra förutsättningar att bevarahälsan och ger möjlighet till ett aktivt och självständigt liv.

    Complex caring needs without simple solutions: the experience of interprofessional collaboration among staff caring for older persons with multimorbidity at home care settings2017Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, ISSN 0283-9318, E-ISSN 1471-6712, Vol. 31, nr 2, s. 342-350Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Older persons with multimorbidity being cared for at home often have complex needs which can´t be met by one player. Interprofessional collaboration is therefore considered necessary if care is to be organised according to the needs of the elderly. To achieve coherent healthcare, municipalities and regions need to develop this area.

    Aim: The aim of the study was to illustrate how various professionals belonging to homemaker services, home care services in municipality and Hospital-Based Home Care Services experience their collaboration in caring for older persons with multimorbidity.

    Method: Eleven informants took part in the study and individual interviewed. The material was analysed using a hermeneutic data analysis.

    Result: The result shows that collaboration between players contains various types of experiences which influence not only the staff who are involved in collaboration but also the result of the collaboration itself. The informants´ experience of collaboration was defined by trust and distrust and by security and insecurity. These influenced both the staff who were involved in collaboration and the result of collaboration itself.

    Conlusion: Complex situations could not be solved with simple models. Instead a flexible approach appears necessary with focus shifted from structures to interpersonal relations and interactions. Therefor the different professions have to work as a transprofessional team where close interactions, flexibility and improvisation is a key to success.   

    Relevance to clinical practice: A transprofessional approach to teamwork collaboration can blur professional boundaries and take the competence of all staff into account when home health care to older people with multimorbidity is to be provided by multiple caregivers. This is suggested as an approach with potential to provide high quality and safe care to a vulnerable population.

    From a diagnostic and particular approach to a person-centred approach: a development project2015Ingår i: Journal of Clinical Nursing, ISSN 0962-1067, E-ISSN 1365-2702, Vol. 24, nr 3-4, s. 465-474Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Aims and objectives

    To investigate changes over time in an interdisciplinary group that was engaged in development work regarding pain and pain assessment.

    Background

    The outcomes of nursing research do not always find their way to the daily care of patients. This is evident within, for instance, physical rehabilitation, where relieving patients' pain is a major challenge. To gain new understanding, develop and change, registered nurses have a great part in engaging their staff.

    Design

    A qualitative study using a participatory action research approach was used, and a hermeneutic analysis was conducted.

    Methods

    A group of three registered nurses, two assistant nurses and a physiotherapist took part in focus group sessions. This group was followed with seven repeated sessions during a period of five months from January 2010 until June 2010. A hermeneutic analysis was used.

    Results

    The participants changed their attitudes towards the patient in pain, their own caring role and the team's role towards a more person-centred care.

    Conclusions

    Participation and reflection were key aspects as means to transfer knowledge into action and establish change. The participants came to the sessions, shared actively their experiences and expressed pride in the work they accomplished. This can be seen as an expression of a need to share and a joy to be working together in a person-oriented development area. In addition, the approach seemed to contribute to increased job satisfaction.

    Relevance to clinical practice

    The participants expressed that their work resulted in a changed approach to pain and pain assessment in their daily practice at the ward. The participants were actively engaged in enhancing their work with pain and pain assessment in their own daily practice and in implementing research-based knowledge.

    Swedish family care advisors’ views on existential loneliness and existential support to informal caregivers of older people: A cross-sectional national survey2021Ingår i: Nordic journal of nursing research, ISSN 2057-1585, E-ISSN 2057-1593, s. 1-8Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The number of older people needing care is increasing, and care is often provided by informal caregivers. The mission of family care advisors (FCAs) is to provide them with support; however, whether and how support in existential matters such as existential loneliness is provided is unclear. Therefore, the aim of this study was to describe FCAs’ views on existential loneliness, and existential support provided to relatives who act as informal caregivers to older people. A national survey was distributed to 349 FCAs in Sweden, response rate n = 120 (36%). The STROBE checklist was followed when presenting the study. Existential loneliness was viewed as thoughts about life and meaning (78%). Existential support was provided by dialogues (87%), visits (75%) and support groups (73%); 45% of FCAs stated that they had time to provide existential support and 27% reported having knowledge of how to encounter existential loneliness. FCAs provide existential support, but often lack experience, knowledge and time. Time and knowledge are important prerequisites for acknowledging existential needs.

    Contrasts in older persons' experiences and significant others' perceptions of existential loneliness2019Ingår i: Nursing Ethics, ISSN 0969-7330, E-ISSN 1477-0989, Vol. 26, nr 6, s. 1623-1637Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: As frail older people might have difficulties in expressing themselves, their needs are often interpreted by others, for example, by significant others, whose information health care staff often have to rely on. This, in turn, can put health care staff in ethically difficult situations, where they have to choose between alternative courses of action. One aspect that might be especially difficult to express is that of existential loneliness. We have only sparse knowledge about whether, and in what way, the views of frail older persons and their significant others concerning existential loneliness are in concordance.

    OBJECTIVE: To contrast frail older (>75) persons' experiences with their significant others' perceptions of existential loneliness.

    METHODS: A case study design was chosen for this study. Individual interviews with frail older persons (n = 15) and interviews with their significant others (n = 19), as well as field notes, served as a basis for the study. A thematic analysis was used to interpret data. Ethical considerations: This study was conducted in accordance with the principles of research ethics.

    FINDINGS: The findings showed three themes: (1) Meaningless waiting in contrast to lack of activities, (2) Longing for a deeper connectedness in contrast to not participating in a social environment and (3) Restricted freedom in contrast to given up on life.

    DISCUSSION: Knowledge about the tensions between older persons' and their significant others' views of existential loneliness could be of use as a basis for ethical reflections on the care of older people and in the encounter with their significant others.

    CONCLUSION: It is of importance that health care professionals listen to both the frail older person and their significant other(s) and be aware of whose voice that the care given is based on, in order to provide care that is beneficial and not to the detriment of the older person.

    Older persons' existential loneliness, as interpreted by their significant others: an interview study2017Ingår i: BMC Geriatrics, ISSN 1471-2318, E-ISSN 1471-2318, Vol. 17, nr 1Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: In order to better understand people in demanding medical situations, an awareness of existential concerns is important. Studies performed over the last twenty years conclude that when dying and death come closer, as in the case with older people who are stricken by infirmity and diseases, existential concerns will come to the fore. However, studies concerning experiences of existential loneliness (EL) are sparse and, in addition, there is no clear definition of EL. EL is described as a complex phenomenon and referred to as a condition of life, an experience, and a process of inner growth. Listening to someone who knows the older person well, as significant others often do, may be one way of learning more about EL. Methods: This study is part of a larger research project on EL, the LONE study, where EL is explored through interviews with frail older people, their significant others and health care professionals. The aim of this study was to explore frail older (> 75) persons' EL, as interpreted by their significant others. The study is qualitative and based on eighteen narrative interviews with nineteen significant others of older persons. The data was analysed using Hsieh and Shannon's conventional content analysis. Results: According to the interpretation of significant others, the older persons experience EL (1) when they are increasingly limited in body and space, (2) when they are in a process of disconnecting, and (3) when they are disconnected from the outside world. Conclusion: The result can be understood as if the frail older person is in a process of letting go of life. This process involves the body, in that the older person is increasingly limited in his/her physical abilities. The older person's long-term relationships are gradually lost, and finally the process entails the older person's increasingly withdrawing into him- or herself and turning off the outside world. The result of this study is consistent with previous research that has shown that EL is a complex phenomenon, but the implications of this research include a deepened understanding of EL. In addition, the study highlights the interpretations of significant others.

    Spouses' existential loneliness when caring for a frail partner late in life: a hermeneutical approach.2020Ingår i: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being, ISSN 1748-2623, E-ISSN 1748-2631, Vol. 15, nr 1Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Purpose: Spouses are in a vulnerable situation when caring for a frail partner late in life. Exploring their existential loneliness can be a way to understand more about their existential needs.Method: A hermeneutic approach was used. Multistage focus group interviews were conducted with two groups consisting of five spouses, respectively, who met three times each. To work with the text, an approach was adapted where quotations are converted into poems in a linguistic manner.Results: Existential loneliness can be understood as the following: 1) being in a transition from us to merely me, 2) being forced to make decisions and feeling excluded, 3) navigating in an unfamiliar situation and questioning oneself, and 4) longing for togetherness but lacking the energy to encounter other people. The main interpretation is that existential loneliness emerges when one is in moments of inner struggle, when one is forced to make impossible choices, when one is approaching and is in limit situations, and when one is experiencing the endless loss of the other.Conclusion: For health care professionals to achieve a holistic picture, person-centeredness can be a way to make the spouses' existential needs visible and to provide support based on their needs.

    Har han det bra så har jag det bra: ett aktionsforskningsprojekt där ett närståendestöd planerades i samarbete med närstående till yngre personer med demenssjukdom2010Rapport (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [sv]

    Introduktion och rapportens uppläggning

    Det finns ett fåtal studier som har undersökt situationen för närstående till yngre personer med demenssjukdom. Dessa studier talar för att närstående som lever tillsammans med en person med demenssjukdom kommer att belastas allt tyngre och de kommer att behöva individuellt anpassat stöd för att orka med sin situation eftersom varje närståendevårdares situation är unik (Luscombe, Brodaty & Freeth, 1998, Jubb, Pollard & Chaston, 2003, Armstrong, 2003). Om närstående ska orka leva tillsammans med en partner som är demenssjuk behöver de erbjudas ett stöd som är utformat utifrån deras situation och behov. I Hälso- och sjukvårdprogrammet för Region Skåne betonas vikten av att lyfta fram yngre personer med demenssjukdom och deras närståendes situation ur ett regionperspektiv (Hälso- och sjukvårdsprogram, region Skåne, 2005). En studie där närstående själva får delta i att utforska hur ett närståendestöd bör utformas kan ge värdefull kunskap som kan bilda en bas för regionens planering av olika stödjande insatser. Syftet med denna studie var att i samarbete med närstående till personer vars demenssjukdom debuterat före 65 års ålder planera ett närståendestöd.

    Bakgrund till projektet

    Att få en demenssjukdom och att vara närstående till en person som utvecklar en demenssjukdom är en ny situation för alla inblandade. Vi vet ganska lite om hur närstående till yngre personer med en demenssjukdom upplever sin situation. För att undvika att bördan blir för stor för de närstående behövs olika samhälleliga insatser. För att öka kunskapen kring närståendes situation genomfördes fokusgruppsintervjuer med närstående till yngre personer som drabbats av demenssjukdom.

    Studiens genomförande och etiska överväganden

    Studien pågick mellan januari-april 2008 och genomfördes som ett deltagarbaserat aktionsforskningsprojekt där närstående till yngre personer med demens tillsammans med forskare samtalade om vilka problem närstående har att tackla samt gav förslag på hur ett närståendestöd skulle kunna utformas. Samtliga närstående var maka eller make till en person med demenssjukdom.

    Vad fokusgrupperna kom fram till

    Diskussionerna i fokusgrupperna omfattade tre faser; Tiden före diagnos – när man anar att allt inte står rätt till, Tiden i samband med och efter diagnos – bekräftelse på att det man anat var sant, Den sena fasen – när det blev ohållbart. Dessutom framkom att det fanns behov av en funktion som benämndes Lotsen. Namnet tillkom då fokusgrupperna signalerade ett behov av en lotsfunktion, en person som skulle kunna leda och lotsa närstående i vård- och omsorgsdjungeln.

    Vad hände sedan?

    Studien har lett till att en dagsjukvårdsenhet har startat ett projekt med avsikt att stödja relationen mellan yngre personer med demenssjukdom och deras närstående.

    Utvärderingsplaneringen och utvärderingen har utförts av studenter i sjuksköterskeprogrammet vid högskolan Kristianstad under handledning av forskare vid forskningsplattformen för Närsjukvård.

    Slutord

    Inom professionen tror man att man vet vilket stöd närstående behöver och min bestämda uppfattning var att närstående till yngre personer med demens framförallt behöver emotionellt stöd. Under studiens gång blev det dock tydligt för mig att det är omöjligt att ge stöd till närstående utan att samtidigt ta hänsyn till den sjukes behov och situation. Redan tidigt i sjukdomsförloppet behövs individuellt anpassat stöd som bör förändras i takt med sjukdomens fortskridande. Dessutom behövs en sammanhållande länk som kan lotsa vidare i processen och vara ett stöd både för den sjuke och närstående. Demenssjuksköterskan i kommunens hälso- och sjukvård skulle kunna fungera som den lots som efterfrågas.

    Exploring health professionals´ experiences of being involved in a research project2020Ingår i: Knowledge Management Research & Practice, ISSN 1477-8238, E-ISSN 1477-8246Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The involvement of health professionals in research may ensure the acquisition of relevant and sustainable knowledge that is applicable in practice. However, knowledge is lacking about how professionals experience being involved. Therefore, the aim of this study was to explore how health professionals experienced the process of being involved in a project related to research on ageing and health. Data was collected through seventeen interviews and analysed using a grounded theory approach. The findings illustrate the health professionals’ experiences of an adaptation process that occurred, e.g., adapting practice and research to facilitate collaboration and the ability to co-create. Influenced by circumstances and through ongoing negotiations and breakthroughs, co-creation was experienced, based on the health professionals’ and researchers’ trustful relationships. In conclusion, this new knowledge may be useful in designing and implementing future studies that involve health professionals in research projects on ageing and health.

    Involvement of professionals in research: knowledge integration, development of practice, and challenges: a group concept mapping study2021Ingår i: Health Research Policy and Systems, ISSN 1478-4505, E-ISSN 1478-4505, Vol. 19, nr 1, s. 1-17, artikel-id 115Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: Research and practice are often considered as two different worlds with different values, which causes a gap between them. Involving professionals such as practitioners, managers, decision-makers, and policy-makers in research on ageing and health might address the gap between research and practice, strengthen the healthcare system, and increase older people's possibilities for healthy ageing. The aim of this study was to conceptualize professionals' involvement in research on ageing and health from the perspective of the professionals themselves.

    METHODS: A mixed method called group concept mapping was used. Professionals with experience being involved in research on ageing and health participated in qualitative data collection through brainstorming sessions (n = 29) and by sorting statements (n = 29). Afterwards, they participated in a quantitative data collection by rating statements according to how much each statement strengthened practice (n = 30) and strengthened research (n = 28). Multidimensional scaling analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis were used to conduct quantitative analysis. Latent qualitative analysis was also conducted.

    RESULTS: Analysis resulted in eight clusters which illustrated conceptual areas of professionals' involvement in research projects. The qualitative latent construct of the cluster map resulted in the themes: challenges for professionals; prerequisites and professionals' learning can contribute to development of practice; and integrated knowledge benefits older people. There was a strong correlation between what strengthens practice and research (r = 0.92).

    CONCLUSIONS: This study illustrates conceptual areas of professionals' own perspectives on what their involvement in research can lead to. Their involvement may lead to knowledge being integrated, and the professionals may learn through their involvement, which can contribute to the development of practice. However, there can also be challenges that need to be handled when professionals are involved in research. The study can be useful for improving the understanding of and actual involvement of professionals in research, and for optimizing the involvement of professionals.

    Conceptualizing researchers' perspectives on involving professionals in research: a group concept mapping study2021Ingår i: Health Research Policy and Systems, ISSN 1478-4505, E-ISSN 1478-4505, Vol. 19, nr 1, s. 1-17, artikel-id 39Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: Researchers have shown an increased interest in involving professionals from outside academia in research projects. Professionals are often involved in research on ageing and health when the purpose is to address the gap between research and practice. However, there is a need to acquire more knowledge about what the involvement might lead to by exploring researchers' experiences of involving professionals in research on ageing and health and developing conceptual areas. Therefore, the aim of this study was to identify conceptual areas of professionals' involvement in research on ageing and health, from the perspective of researchers themselves.

    METHODS: Group concept mapping, a participatory and mixed method, was used to conceptualize areas. Researchers with experience of involving professionals in research projects on ageing and health participated in qualitative data collection through brainstorming sessions (n = 26), and by sorting statements (n = 27). They then took part in quantitative data collection, where they rated statements according to how much a statement strengthened research (n = 26) and strengthened practice (n = 24). Data were analysed using multidimensional scaling analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis. In addition, a qualitative analysis of the latent meaning of the cluster map was conducted.

    RESULTS: Analysis of the sorting stage generated five clusters illustrating conceptual areas of professionals' involvement in research projects on ageing and health. The five clusters are as follows: complex collaboration throughout the research process; adaptation of research to different stakeholders, mutual learning through partnership; applicable and sustainable knowledge; legitimate research on ageing and health. The qualitative latent meaning of the cluster map showed two themes: the process of involvement and the outcome of involvement. A positive strong correlation (0.87) was found between the rating of strengthened research and practice.

    CONCLUSIONS: This study reveals conceptual areas on a comprehensive and illustrative map which contributes to the understanding of professionals' involvement in research on ageing and health. A conceptual basis for further studies is offered, where the aim is to investigate the processes and outcomes entailed in involving professionals in research on ageing and health. The study also contributes to the development of instruments and theories for optimizing the involvement of professionals in research.

    Impact of the first health dialogue meetings with newly arrived child migrants and their families in Sweden2019Ingår i: British Journal of School Nursing, ISSN 1752-2803, E-ISSN 2052-2827, Vol. 14, nr 9Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    As a part of its health-monitoring programme, Sweden invites all children to access health services. In this qualitative study, first meetings with newly arrived child migrants and their families are described from the perspective of primary school nurses through three themes: methods and strategies in use, impact of the first health dialogues, and dedication of the school nurses. With many newly arrived migrants and scarce support within the school system, the nurses felt abandoned in balancing their available work hours with their own ambitions and conducting the meetings, including health checkups and mapping the vaccination status of the children.

    Family caregivers experiences of formal care when caring for persons with dementia through the process of the disease2016Ingår i: Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, ISSN 0283-9318, E-ISSN 1471-6712, Vol. 30, nr 3, s. 526-534Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: Family caregivers' experiences of formal care when caring for persons with dementia through the process of the disease is sparsely investigated.

    AIMS: To investigate family caregivers' experiences of formal care when caring for a person with dementia, through the stages of the disease.

    DESIGN: A qualitative approach with focus group interviews.

    METHODS: Four focus group interviews were conducted in October 2011 with 23 spouses and adult children of persons with dementia and analysed with content analysis.

    RESULTS: The participants' experiences of formal care when caring for a person with dementia were captured in the theme 'Family caregiving requires collaboration with formal care to get support adjusted to needs specific to the stages of dementia'. This can be broken down into the categories 'The dementia diagnosis - entry into formal care as a novice family caregiver', 'Needing expanded collaboration with formal care to continue care at home' and 'Being dependent on a nursing home and trying to maintain involvement'.

    CONCLUSION: Family caregiving requires collaboration with formal care to get support adjusted to the individual's needs, specific to the stages of dementia. Caregivers experience a transition process with three main turning points: the dementia diagnosis; when they realise increased need for formal care to continue caring at home; and when the person with dementia is moved into a nursing home. The interviewed caregivers experience formal care reactive to their needs and this often promoted unhealthy transitions. Formal care needs to be proactive and deliver available care and support early on in the dementia trajectory. Interventions should focus on facilitating a healthy transition for family caregivers through the trajectory of the dementia disease to ensure their well-being.

    Swedish nursing students' experience of aspects important for their learning process and their ability to handle the complexity of the nursing degree program2012Ingår i: Nurse Education Today, ISSN 0260-6917, E-ISSN 1532-2793, Vol. 32, nr 4, s. 453-457Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of the study was to explore nursing students' experiences of aspects important for their learning process and their ability to handle the complexity of the nursing degree program. The study was longitudinal and qualitative based on interviews with nursing students, six women and two men aged 20-36, during their three years of education. In all, seven patterns were found embracing aspects of importance for the students' learning: Having a clear goal, being able to re-evaluate one's ideas, being acknowledged, when the abstract becomes tangible, using one's own experiences as a tool for learning, hovering between closeness and distance regarding one's future profession and handling theory and practice in relation to one another. The results show the importance of providing clinical courses, strongly connected to the theoretical parts of the program and to use reflection and experience-based learning in the nursing program.

    Ethical aspects of undergoing a predictive genetic testing for Huntington’s disease2013Ingår i: Nursing Ethics, ISSN 0969-7330, E-ISSN 1477-0989, Vol. 20, nr 2, s. 189-199Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    The aim of this study was to describe the experiences of undergoing a presymptomatic genetic test for the hereditary and fatal Huntington’s disease, using a case study approach. The study was based on 18 interviews with a young woman and her husband from the decision to undergo the test, to receiving the results and trying to adapt to them, which were analysed using a life history approach. The findings show that the process of undergoing a presymptomatic test involves several closely connected ethical and medical questions, such as the reason for the test, the consequences of the test results and how health-care services can be developed to support people in this situation.

    Ethical aspects of a predictive test for Huntington’s Disease: a long term perspective2016Ingår i: Nursing Ethics, ISSN 0969-7330, E-ISSN 1477-0989, Vol. 23, nr 5, s. 565-575Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: A predictive genetic test for Huntington’s disease can be used before any symptoms are apparent, but there is only sparse knowledge about the long-term consequences of a positive test result. Such knowledge is important in order to gain a deeper understanding of families’ experiences.

    Objectives: The aim of the study was to describe a young couple’s long-term experiences and the consequences of a predictive test for Huntington’s disease.

    Research design: A descriptive case study design was used with a longitudinal narrative life history approach.

    Participants and research context: The study was based on 18 interviews with a young couple, covering a period of 2.5 years; starting 6 months after the disclosure of the test results showing the woman to be a carrier of the gene causing Huntington’s disease.

    Ethical considerations: Even though the study was extremely sensitive, where potential harm constantly had to be balanced against the benefits, the couple had a strong wish to contribute to increased knowledge about people in their situation. The study was approved by the ethics committee.

    Findings: The results show that the long-term consequences were devastating for the family. This 3-year period was characterized by anxiety, repeated suicide attempts, financial difficulties and eventually divorce.

    Discussion: By offering a predictive test, the healthcare system has an ethical and moral responsibility. Once the test result is disclosed, the individual and the family cannot live without the knowledge it brings. Support is needed in a long-term perspective and should involve counselling concerning the families’ everyday life involving important decision-making, reorientation towards a new outlook of the future and the meaning of life.

    Conclusion: As health professionals, our ethical and moral responsibility thus embraces not only the phase in direct connection to the actual genetic test but also a commitment to provide support to help the family deal with the long-term consequences of the test.

    Challenges faced in daily life by persons with type 2 diabetes: a meta-synthesis2019Ingår i: Chronic Illness, ISSN 1742-3953, E-ISSN 1745-9206, Vol. 15, nr 3, s. 167-186Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Objectives

    To derive improved understanding of the implicit meanings of challenges in daily life from the perspective of persons with type 2 diabetes.

    Methods

    A meta-synthesis was conducted with an interpretive and constructivist approach. Four databases were searched for articles published between 2007 and 2011, producing 37 articles for analysis. Van Deurzen's life world theory was applied as an analytic grid.

    Results

    Challenges in daily life with type 2 diabetes could be understood as living in a tension between opposing forces, implying a struggle with inevitable paradoxes: living in the present and for the future, trusting oneself while relying on others, and being normal while feeling changed and different.

    Discussion

    This synthesis adds knowledge to previous understanding of living with type 2 diabetes, revealing the complexity of daily life when struggling with a lifelong illness. Person-centred care could be used to understand what challenges diabetes may cause in family and working life and the ambivalent feelings the illness can lead to. Future research is needed to implement and evaluate a person-centred care in practice. Since new qualitative research is continuously added to this topic, metasyntheses should be undertaken regularly.

    Longitudinal prediction of falls and near falls frequencies in Parkinson's disease: a prospective cohort study2021Ingår i: Journal of Neurology, ISSN 0340-5354, E-ISSN 1432-1459, Vol. 268, nr 3, s. 997-1005Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVE: Several prediction models for falls/near falls in Parkinson's disease (PD) have been proposed. However, longitudinal predictors of frequency of falls/near falls are poorly investigated. Therefore, we aimed to identify short- and long-term predictors of the number of falls/near falls in PD.

    METHODS: A prospective cohort of 58 persons with PD was assessed at baseline (mean age and PD duration, 65 and 3.2 years, respectively) and 3.5 years later. Potential predictors were history of falls and near falls, comfortable gait speed, freezing of gate, dyskinesia, retropulsion, tandem gait (TG), pain, and cognition (Mini-Mental State Exam, MMSE). After each assessment, the participants registered a number of falls/near falls during the following 6 months. Multivariate Poisson regression was used to identify short- and long-term predictors of a number of falls/near falls.

    RESULTS: Baseline median (q1-q3) motor (UPDRS) and MMSE scores were 10 (6.75-14) and 28.5 (27-29), respectively. History of falls was the only significant short-time predictor [incidence rate ratio (IRR), 15.17] for the number of falls/near falls during 6 months following baseline. Abnormal TG (IRR, 3.77) and lower MMSE scores (IRR, 1.17) were short-term predictors 3.5 years later. Abnormal TG (IRR, 7.79) and lower MMSE scores (IRR, 1.49) at baseline were long-term predictors of the number of falls/near falls 3.5 years later.

    CONCLUSION: Abnormal TG and MMSE scores predict the number of falls/near falls in short and long term, and may be indicative of disease progression. Our observations provide important additions to the evidence base for clinical fall prediction in PD.

    Factors associated with fear of falling in people with Parkinson’s disease2014Ingår i: BMC Neurology, E-ISSN 1471-2377, Vol. 14, s. 19-Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND:

    This study aimed to comprehensibly investigate potential contributing factors to fear of falling (FOF) among people with idiopathic Parkinson's disease (PD).

    METHODS:

    The study included 104 people with PD. Mean (SD) age and PD-duration were 68 (9.4) and 5 (4.2) years, respectively, and the participants' PD-symptoms were relatively mild. FOF (the dependent variable) was investigated with the Swedish version of the Falls Efficacy Scale, i.e. FES(S). The first multiple linear regression model replicated a previous study and independent variables targeted: walking difficulties in daily life; freezing of gait; dyskinesia; fatigue; need of help in daily activities; age; PD-duration; history of falls/near falls and pain. Model II included also the following clinically assessed variables: motor symptoms, cognitive functions, gait speed, dual-task difficulties and functional balance performance as well as reactive postural responses.

    RESULTS:

    Both regression models showed that the strongest contributing factor to FOF was walking difficulties, i.e. explaining 60% and 64% of the variance in FOF-scores, respectively. Other significant independent variables in both models were needing help from others in daily activities and fatigue. Functional balance was the only clinical variable contributing additional significant information to model I, increasing the explained variance from 66% to 73%.

    CONCLUSIONS:

    The results imply that one should primarily target walking difficulties in daily life in order to reduce FOF in people mildly affected by PD. This finding applies even when considering a broad variety of aspects not previously considered in PD-studies targeting FOF. Functional balance performance, dependence in daily activities, and fatigue were also independently associated with FOF, but to a lesser extent. Longitudinal studies are warranted to gain an increased understanding of predictors of FOF in PD and who is at risk of developing a FOF.

    Prediction of falls and/or near falls by using tandem gait performance in people with mild Parkinson’s disease2015Konferensbidrag (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Objective: To investigate whether tandem gait test (TG) can predict future falls and/or near falls in people with Parkinson’s disease (PD).

    Background: People with PD have balance problems and an increased risk for falls. Although TG has been considered a predictor of falls, no PD-study has controlled results for demographic and disease-specific characteristics or included near falls when investigating falls prospectively.

    Methods: The study included 141 participants with PD (mean age and PD-duration, 68 and 4 years, respectively). Those >80 years of age, requiring support in standing or did not understand the instructions were excluded. TG includes taking 10 consecutive tandem steps along a straight line without walking aids and support, with eyes open. Performance was scored as follows: no side steps=0; one or more side steps=1; unable to take 4 consecutive steps=2. If TG was abnormal ("1 side steps) during the first attempt, a second trial was allowed and the best performance was registered. Anti-Parkinsonian medications were recorded from medical records. All assessments were conducted in the “on” condition. Participants thereafter registered all falls and near falls by using a diary for six months.

    Results: Mean score for UPDRS III was 14 (SD 8.0). The median (q1-q3) daily total levodopa equivalent (LDE) dose (mg) was 400 (286-600). Sixty-three participants (45%) experienced ≥1 fall and/or near fall. The median (q1-q3) TG score was 2 (1-2) for those that experienced falls and/or near falls and 0 (0-1) for those without any incidents. Logistic regression (controlling for age, gender, UPDRS III and daily LDE dose) showed that TG score 2 (OR, 5.40; 95% CI, 1.75-16.70; P=0.003) predicted falls and/or near falls. TG score 1 was not significant (OR, 2.24; 95% CI, 0.84-5.98; P=0.109). This model correctly classified 39/63 (62%) of individuals with falls and/or near falls and 64/78 (82%) of individuals without any incidence, and accounted for 32% of the variability between groups.

    Conclusions: The results suggest that TG may be able to predict a future fall and/or near fall in people with mild PD. Further studies using larger samples are needed for firmer conclusions and establishment of additional properties in relation to other assessments.

    The clinical significance of 10-m walk test standardizations in Parkinson's disease2018Ingår i: Journal of Neurology, ISSN 0340-5354, E-ISSN 1432-1459, Vol. 265, nr 8, s. 1829-1835Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: The 10-m walk test (10MWT) is a widely used measure of gait speed in Parkinson's disease (PD). However, it is unclear if different standardizations of its conduct impact test results.

    AIM OF THE STUDY: We examined the clinical significance of two aspects of the standardization of the 10MWT in mild PD: static vs. dynamic start, and a single vs. repeated trials. Implications for fall prediction were also explored.

    METHODS: 151 people with PD (mean age and PD duration, 68 and 4 years, respectively) completed the 10MWT in comfortable gait speed with static and dynamic start (two trials each), and gait speed (m/s) was recorded. Participants then registered all prospective falls for 6 months.

    RESULTS: Absolute mean differences between outcomes from the various test conditions ranged between 0.016 and 0.040 m/s (effect sizes, 0.06-0.14) with high levels of agreement (intra-class correlation coefficients, 0.932-0.987) and small standard errors of measurement (0.032-0.076 m/s). Receiver operating characteristic curves showed similar discriminate abilities for prediction of future falls across conditions (areas under curves, 0.70-0.73). Cut-off points were estimated at 1.1-1.2 m/s.

    CONCLUSIONS: Different 10MWT standardizations yield very similar results, suggesting that there is no practical need for an acceleration distance or repeated trials when conducting this test in mild PD.

    Family centre practice and modernity: a qualitative study from Sweden2010Doktorsavhandling, monografi (Övrigt vetenskapligt)
    Abstract [en]

    Family centres have become a common institution to promote health and wellbeingamong young children (0-6 years of age) and their parents in Sweden. Thecore of the work is usually based on both maternal and child health care, a preschooland social services, all located under the same roof in the local community.The family centre in this study, known as the "Family House", was the firstof its type to be built in the city of Kristianstad, Sweden.The overall aim of the thesis was to understand family centre practice throughprofessionals' and parents' perceptions of the Family House and its relationship to modernity.The study employed a qualitative design using phenomenography as method tocapture people's perceptions of the practice. The research also drew on the approachof action research, where participants and researchers co-generateknowledge through collaborative communicative processes. Data was generatedfrom semi-structured interviews conducted with nineteen professionals andsixteen individual parents. Dialogue sessions with the professionals of the studyhave been held in order that they and the researcher could enter into a dialoguebased on the findings of the interviews. Data was consequently also generatedfrom these meetings.The way the professionals perceived the practice of the Family House fell intothree categories, namely, as a professional service, the provision of an informalmeeting place for professionals and families with young children or as a broadcommunity-based centre. Parents' perceptions fell into four categories; as aprofessional reception to obtain expert guidance and support, a study circle andliving room to informally share experiences and socialising, and a playgroundfor children where children could interact and learn social skills.One core finding of this thesis is that family centre practice for those involvedcontained a balancing act between simple modern expertise to control the futureand late modern opportunities for self-realisation and reflexivity.Parents and professionals shared the responsibility for children's well-being andthe distinction between private and public was blurred since parents used theHouse as a social arena for developing personal relations. It was also an arenafor integration between Swedes and immigrants based on engagement for bothcultural diversity and similarity.

    Weight stability in Parkinson's disease2016Ingår i: Nutritional neuroscience, ISSN 1028-415X, E-ISSN 1476-8305, Vol. 19, nr 1, s. 11-20Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Objectives: Parkinson's disease (PD) has traditionally been associated with weight loss. However, recent studies have not found any evidence of underweight in PD. Nevertheless, few studies have addressed nutritional status changes over time in relation to other clinical PD features. Here, we explore changes in nutritional status and motor and non-motor PD features (including dopaminergic drug therapy) in PD patients after 1 year. Methods: Motor and non-motor PD features, dopaminergic drug therapy, under-nutrition and malnutrition risk, and anthropometric measures (BMI, handgrip strength, triceps skin-fold, mid-arm circumference, and mid-upper arm muscle circumference) were assessed at baseline and 1 year later among 65 people with PD. Results: Disability, PD motor symptoms, dysautonomia, and dopaminergic drug therapy increased. Underweight was uncommon both at baseline (n= 3) and follow-up (n = 2); malnutrition risk was common but stable (88 and 92%), whereas triceps skin-fold increased (P = 0.030); mid-upper arm muscle circumference decreased (P = 0.002); and the proportion of people with low handgrip strength (P = 0.012) increased. Correlations between nutritional variables and motor and non-motor PD features were absent to modest. Multiple linear regression analysis showed that baseline pupillomotor functioning was associated with decreased weight and BMI, and sleep with increased weight and BMI. In addition, increases in anxiety were associated with decreased weight, BMI, and triceps skin-fold. Discussion: During the PD course, there seems to be redistribution in body composition from muscle to fat. Studies are needed to identify possible explanations for the findings. This implies that malnutrition should be regularly screened to identify those at risk of developing reduced muscle mass and increased morbidity.

    Malnutrition risk in Parkinson's disease2014Ingår i: Journal of Aging Research & Clinical Practice, ISSN 2258-8094, Vol. 3, nr 2, s. 93-99Artikel i tidskrift (Refereegranskat)
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Unintentional weight loss and undernutrition have been found common in  Parkinson’s disease but its relation to other disease aspects is unclear.

    Objectives: To explore nutritional status in relation to disease duration in Parkinson’s disease, as well as associations between nutritional status and motor and autonomic features.

    Design: Cross-sectional.

    Setting: South-Swedish outpatient Parkinson-clinic.

    Participants: Home-dwelling people with Parkinson’s disease (n=71), without significant cognitive impairment (mean age, 67.3 years; 56% men; mean disease duration, 6.3 years).

    Measurements: Parkinsonian motor symptoms, mobility, activity level, disability, dyskinesias, dysautonomia, under- and malnutrition risk screening (using MEONF II and MUST for undernutrition and SCREEN II for malnutrition) and anthropometric measures (BMI, handgrip strength, triceps skin-fold, mid-arm circumference and mid-upper arm muscle circumference) were recorded. The sample was divided into those with longer (n=34) and shorter disease duration (n=37) according to the median (5 years).

    Results: Longer disease duration was associated with more, disability, dyskinesias and dysautonomia than shorter duration (P ≤0.04). Mean (SD) body weight and BMI were 80.3 (16.3) kg and 28.1 (4.8) kg/m 2, respectively, and did not differ between duration groups (body weight, 80.9 vs. 79.6 kg; BMI, 28.0 vs. 28.3 kg/m 2; P≥0.738). There were no differences in other anthropometric measures between duration groups (P ≥0.300). BMI identified 4% and 62% as under- and overweight, respectively, and 4% exhibited  undernutrition risk, whereas 87% were at risk for malnutrition. Nutritional and motor/dysautonomic variables showed relatively weak correlations (r s, ≤ 0.33), but people with orthostatic hypotension had lower BMI (26.7 vs 29.2 kg/m 2; P=0.026) and lower handgrip strength (33.2 vs 41.6 kg; P=0.025) than those without orthostatic hypotension.

    Conclusion: Motor and autonomic features showed expected relationships with disease duration. In contrast to these observations, and to most previous reports on nutrition in PD, frequencies of underweight and undernutrition were low. However, malnutrition risk was high, emphasizing the need for regular clinical monitoring of nutritional status. The reasons for the preserved nutritional status have to be explored prospectively.
