    Embodiment and chronic pain: implications for rehabilitation practice2009In: Health Care Analysis, ISSN 1065-3058, E-ISSN 1573-3394, Vol. 17, no 2, p. 100-109Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Throughout the Western world people turn towards the health care system seeking help for a variety of psychosomatic/psychosocial health problems. They become "patients" and find themselves within a system of practises that conceptualizes their bodies as "objective" bodies, treats their ill health in terms of the malfunctioning machine, and compartmentalizes their lived experiences into medically interpreted symptoms and signs of underlying biological dysfunction. The aim of this article is to present an alternative way of describing ill health and rehabilitation using the philosophy of Maurice Merleau-Ponty in order to deepen our understanding of the rehabilitation process. I will explore how the experience of chronic pain ruptures the natural connection between body and world and how the rehabilitation process can be understood as the re-insertion of the body into the flow of experience, where the body "disappears" into its natural silence in order to allow the world to once again unfold. The experience of chronic pain places the painful body in focus, resulting in a diminished articulation of both self and world. Persons with illness suffer not only from the physical aspects of pain and discomfort but also from a loss of identity where one feels alienated and detached from things that used to give meaning to ones life. Rehabilitation must not only address the material (medical) body but also the diminished sense of self as well as the retreat from the world outside of the painful body.

    Meaning out of chaos: a way to understand chronic pain2003In: Scandinavian Journal of Caring Sciences, ISSN 0283-9318, E-ISSN 1471-6712, Vol. 17, no 4, p. 325-331Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Pain is a multidimensional phenomenon lying at the intersection between biology and culture. The modern understanding of pain takes into account emotional, psychological, socio-political and existential aspects of pain as well as physiological, anatomical factors. Our aim in this study was to deepen the understanding of psychosocial, existential aspects of pain and to discuss how clinicians can better understand and treat patients with chronic pain. A focus group was formed consisting of a researcher and a group of clinicians (n = 3) with various backgrounds working at a specialized pain clinic. The group met once a month during a 6-month period. Questions concerning the life-world of the pain patient as well as inquiries into the conditions for 'the good clinical encounter' were investigated. The results of this study consist of a systematization of the data (focus group meetings) collected and analysed in a collaborative effort between the researcher and group participants. The findings are presented in terms of themes. The main metaphor used to describe the path from the seeking of medical help to successful rehabilitation was order out of chaos. Ordering chaos was a process moving from diagnosis through a phase of heightened self-awareness towards responsibility-taking on the part of the patient. Related themes presented, illustrated and discussed in the paper concern problems of linkage, the role of flexibility and creativity in the healing process and the kind of clinical encounter conducive for the journey from chaos to the creation of new meaning.

    "Den är konstant, varje dag, varje timme..." - upplevelser av egenvård hos patienter med diabetes typ 22012Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Background: The number of people living with diabetes type 2 increases. Perceptions of living with the disease differ; some sees it as a natural part of life whilst other sees it as pathological. Self-management and involvement in care are central for the patient’s opportunity adjusting to the new situation. Health care need knowledge about patients’ perceptions of self-management for being able to motivate them.

    Aim: The aim was to describe perceived facilitators and barriers to self-care by patients living with diabetes type 2.

    Method: A review was carried out, which included ten qualitative articles collected through the databases Cinahl and PubMed. The articles were analysed by identifying common denominators in the articles’ results. Themes were created.

    Results: Three head themes with associated subthemes were identified. Facilitators and barriers in the meeting with others focuses on how people in the patient’s environment are perceived as a facilitator and/or a barrier. Facilitators and barriers in the meeting with oneself, describes how the patient herself affects the self-management. In Facilitators and barriers in the meeting with practical circumstances, factors in relation to the patient’s practical environment are presented.

    Discussion: The result goes in line with previous research. Areas, which turned out to be central for the patients’ self-management, such as family and different aspects of health care, are also discussed in relation to health. Additionally, some perceived facilitators/barriers are in accordance to other studies shown to be more or less prominent depending on the patients’ origin or country they live in.

    Unresolved grief and its consequences: A nationwide follow-up of teenage loss of a parent to cancer 6-9 years earlier2016In: Supportive Care in Cancer, ISSN 0941-4355, E-ISSN 1433-7339, Vol. 24, no 7, p. 3095-3103Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    PURPOSE: The early loss of a parent is a tragedy and a serious life event. This study investigated grief resolution and morbidity in cancer-bereaved teenagers 6 to 9 years after the loss of a parent to cancer.

    METHODS: In a nationwide population-based study of 622 of 851 (73 %) youths who as teenagers 6 to 9 years earlier had lost a parent to cancer, we explored the magnitude of unresolved grief and its association with psychological and physiological morbidity. Participants answered a study-specific anonymous questionnaire including questions about if they had worked through their grief and about their current health.

    RESULTS: Six to nine years post-loss 49 % reported unresolved grief (8 % no and 41 % a little grief resolution). They had, in comparison with youths reporting resolved grief, statistically significantly elevated risks, e.g. for insomnia (sons' relative risk (RR) 2.3, 95 % CI 1.3-4.0; daughters' RR 1.7, 95 % CI 1.1-2.7), fatigue (sons' RR 1.8, 95 % CI 1.3-2.5; daughters' RR 1.4, 95 % CI 1.1-1.7) and moderate to severe depression, i.e. score >9, PHQ-9 (sons' RR 3.6, 95 % CI 1.4-8.8; daughters' RR 1.8, 95 % CI 1.1-3.1). Associations remained for insomnia in sons, exhaustion in daughters and fatigue in both sons and daughters when depression, negative intrusive thoughts and avoiding reminders of the parents' disease or death were included in a model.

    CONCLUSIONS: Approximately half of cancer-bereaved youth report no or little grief resolution 6 to 9 years post-loss, which is associated with fatigue, sleeping problems and depressive symptoms.

    Teenagers want to be told when a parent's death is near: A nationwide study of cancer-bereaved youths' opinions and experiences2015In: Acta Oncologica, ISSN 0284-186X, E-ISSN 1651-226X, Vol. 54, no 6, p. 944-950Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: We aimed to investigate cancer-bereaved youths' opinions and experiences of being told about a parent's imminent death from cancer and of barriers to this communication.

    MATERIAL AND METHODS: This nationwide population-based survey included 622/851 (73%) youths (aged 18-26) who at age 13-16, 6-9 years earlier had lost a parent to cancer.

    RESULTS: In total 595 of 610 (98%) of the participants stated that teenage children should be informed when the parent's death was imminent (i.e. a matter of hours or days, not weeks). 59% stated that they themselves had been told this, 37% by the parents, 7% by parents and healthcare professionals together and 8% by professionals only. Frequent reasons for why the teenager and parents did not talk about imminent death before loss were that one (n=106) or both (n=25) of the parents together with the teenage child had pretended that the illness was not that serious, or that none of the parents had been aware that death was imminent (n=80). Up to a couple of hours before the loss, 43% of participants had not realized that death was imminent.

    CONCLUSION: In this population-based study virtually all youth who at ages 13-16 had lost a parent to cancer afterwards stated that teenagers should be told when loss is near, i.e. a matter of hours or days, not weeks. Many stated that they had not been given this information and few were informed by professionals, with implications for future improvements in end-of-life care of patients with teenage children.

    Abstract [en]

    Background: In Sweden there are no laws governing the decision on life sustaining treatment. The ethical guidelines and regulations are clear about the physicians role but do not clarify the nurses role. A decision on CPR is ethically difficult and when a patient is not lucid nurse's expertise in nursing can contribute with knowledge and guidance in decisions about CPR.

    Aim: To explore the nurse’s experiences of decision-making regarding do-not-resuscitate orders.

    Method: The authors conducted a literature review which refers to knowledge in a specific area which was defined and analyzed.

    Results: The result describes nurses' attitudes and perceptions about ethical dilemmas that arise in the decision-making process of CPR and the wish to be involved in the decision. Lack of information on CPR to patients, between staff and different approaches to CPR can cause conflicts. The nurses also describe how the relationship is affected by the CPR decision. Three main themes and eight subthemes emerged.

    Discussion: The most prominent elements of the result showed the ethical dilemmas which may arise from the standpoint of CPR. The aspects that affect the decision-making process are communication, informal aspects and estimation of quality of life. Various choices are discussed in relation to the thesis background, theoretical basis, scientific literature- and studies.

    Vem vårdar vårdaren?: Närståendes upplevelser av att vårda en äldre person palliativt i hemmet2011Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: När allt fler lever längre ökar sannolikheten att möta livets slut vid en hög ålder. Att dö i hemmet är ett önskemål hos många personer i livets slut och deras närstående. Allt fler personer i livets slut vårdas i dag i hemmet och det är troligt att denna trend kommer att öka i framtiden. När palliativ vård utförs i hemmet förutsätter det ofta att det finns en närstående som kan fungera som vårdare. Konfronterandet med döden innebär vanligtvis en svår livssituation, som kan vara den närståendes första riktiga möte med döden. I detta påfrestande läge har den närstående ett stort behov av stöd från och god kommunikation med den professionella vården, då en god vård av den sjuke förutsätter att den närstående får ett professionellt stöd. För att kunna ge de närstående stöd är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan har förståelse för deras upplevelser.

    Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva närståendes upplevelser av att vårda en äldre person palliativt i hemmet.

    Metod: En litteraturstudie där totalt åtta kvalitativa och kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar relevanta för syftet analyserats. Fribergs kvalitativa analysmodell (2006) har använts för att identifiera kategorier.

    Resultat: Sju kategorier framkom ur analysen: upplevelsen av att se den sjuke förändras, önskan att vara tillräcklig och bidra, upplevelsen av de professionellas svek, strävan efter hopp och mening, upplevelsen av ansträngning, upplevelsen av brist på kontroll och betydelsen av familj och vänner.

    Diskussion: I diskussionen relateras centrala delar av resultatet till Travelbees teori om mellanmänskliga aspekter. Upplevelsen av de professionellas svek, strävan efter hopp och mening samt upplevelsen av lidande diskuteras. Även viktiga aspekter som sjuksköterskan bör tänka på diskuteras.

    Närståendes upplevelser av hemsjukvård2011Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [sv]

    Bakgrund: Antalet personer som vårdas palliativt i hemmet har ökat det senaste decennierna. Den palliativa vården innebär en helhetsvård av den sjuke i livets slutskede. Den skall samtidigt vara ett stöd för de närstående som har en betydelsefull roll för den sjuke.

    Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att belysa upplevelser av att vårda en närstående med cancer sjukdom.

    Metod: En innehållsanalys genomfördes i denna litteraturstudie enligt Friberg (2006). Artikelsökningarna gjordes via Cinahl och PubMed. I resultatet användes sammanlagt elva kvalitativa vetenskapliga studier som granskats. Sex utav studierna var från Sverige och övriga var från Australien, Italien, Kanada, Hong Kong och Nederländerna.

    Resultat: Resultatet utmynnade i tre huvudkategorier, närståendes upplevelser av en ny roll, närståendes upplevelser i samband med vårdandet och närståendes upplevelser av vårdteamet. Varje kategori består av underkategorier. Närståendes upplevelser av en ny roll som beskriver om förändringar och utmanade situationer där närstående genomgick en rollförändring från att vara närstående till att  vara vårdare. De ställde höga krav på sig själva när det gällde omvårdnadsansvaret av den sjuke. Likaså trodde de att människorna i deras omgivning hade samma krav på dem. Upplevelser av att vårda en närstående i hemmiljö visade att det var både den sjukes och närståendes önskan om att den sjuke skulle vårdas hemma. Närstående begränsade sina aktiviteter för att vårda den sjuke vilket hade inverkan på deras liv. Detta kunde leda till att närstående drabbades av fysiska och psykiska belastningar på grund av de påfrestningarna de upplevde när den sjuke blev sämre eller de påfrestningarna som förekom i relation till de professionella vårdarna. Närståendes upplevelser av vården tar upp att närstående upplevde att de ville vara mer delaktiga i omvårdnaden av den sjuke och behöver information samt bättre kommunikation från de professionella vårdarna.

    Diskussion: Övergångsprocessen som närstående går igenom när de vårdar den sjuke i livets slutskede kunde ses som en utmaning för de. Trots att det kunde påverka deras liv negativt eftersom närstående ville ge den sjuke en god omvårdnad men upplevde att de inte alltid lyckades med detta. För att underlätta närståendes övergångsprocess är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan får dem att känna sig delaktiga i omvårdnaden genom att etablera en bra relation med närstående och ge dem kontinuerlig individuell anpassad information.

    Regaining health and wellbeing after traumatic spinal cord injury2013In: Journal of Rehabilitation Medicine, ISSN 1650-1977, E-ISSN 1651-2081, Vol. 45, no 10, p. 1023-1027Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    OBJECTIVE: Traumatic spinal cord injury is typically a devastating event, leading to permanent physical disability. Despite the severity of the condition, many persons with traumatic spinal cord injury manage to lead both active and independent lives. The aim of this study was to investigate the experience of health and wellbeing of persons living with a traumatic spinal cord injury for at least 20 years. Design and methods: A qualitative design was used. Data was analysed using a phenomenological-hermeneutical method. Rich narratives were obtained from 14 persons with paraplegia due to traumatic spinal cord injury sustained at least 20 years ago. RESULTS: The key finding was that health and wellbeing were attained when persons were able to perceive themselves as being “normal” in everyday relationships and circumstances. The normalization process involved learning to negotiate and/or prevent potentially embarrassing situations by acting in a “parallel world”, covertly “behind the scenes”. CONCLUSION: The subjective experience of wellbeing and health after traumatic spinal cord injury depends upon the ability to prevent or resolve potentially embarrassing situations without this being noticed by others. Performing this work “behind the scenes”, enables persons with traumatic spinal cord injury to interact smoothly with others and thereby be perceived as normal, despite substantial disability.

    Being me and being us in a family living close to death at home2011In: Qualitative Health Research, ISSN 1049-7323, E-ISSN 1552-7557, Vol. 21, no 5, p. 683-695Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    We used interpretive description to describe how everyday life close to death was experienced and dealt with in families with one member who had a life-threatening illness. We performed 28 individual, couple, and group interviews with five families. We found two patterns, namely, “being me in a family living close to death” and “being us in a family living close to death.” “Being me” meant that everyone in the family individually had to deal with the impending death, regardless of whether he or she was the person with the life-threatening illness or not. This was linked to ways of promoting the own self-image, of “me-ness.” This pattern was present at the same time as the pattern of “being us,” in other words, being a family, and dealing with impending death and a new “we-ness,” as a group. “Striving for the optimal way of living close to death” was the core theme.

    Four aspects of self-image close to death at home2011In: International Journal of Qualitative Studies on Health and Well-being, ISSN 1748-2623, Vol. 6, no 2, p. 5931-Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    Living close to death means an inevitable confrontation with one’s own existential limitation. In this article, we argue that everyday life close to death embodies an identity work in progress. We used a narrative approach and a holistic-content reading to analyze twelve interviews conducted with three persons close to death. By illuminating the unique stories and identifying patterns among the participants’ narratives, we found four themes exemplifying important aspects of the identity work related to everyday life close to death. Two of the themes, named “Inside and outside of me” and “Searching for togetherness”, represented the core of the self-image, and were framed by the other themes, “My place in space” and “My death and my time”. Our findings elucidate the way the individual stories moved between the past, the present, and the future. This study challenges the idea that everyday life close to impending death primarily means limitations. The findings show that the search for meaning, new knowledge, and community can form a part of a conscious and ongoing identity work close to death.

    Development and validation of the preparedness for Colorectal Cancer Surgery Questionnaire: PCSQ-pre 242016In: European Journal of Oncology Nursing, ISSN 1462-3889, E-ISSN 1532-2122, Vol. 25, p. 24-32, article id S1462-3889(16)30081-3Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    PURPOSE: The aims of the study were to develop and psychometrically evaluate a patient-reported outcome instrument for the measurement of preoperative preparedness in patients undergoing surgery for colorectal cancer.

    METHODS: This study was conducted in two stages: a) instrument development (item generation, construction of items and domains), empirical verification and b) instrument evaluation. A questionnaire with 28 items measuring preparedness for surgery was developed covering four domains and was tested for content validity with an expert panel and with patients. Psychometric testing of the questionnaire was conducted on 240 patients undergoing elective surgery for colorectal cancer.

    RESULTS: The scale content validity index of the preparedness items was 0.97. The final version consisted of 24 items measuring 4 subscales: Searching for and making use of information, Understanding and involvement in the care process, Making sense of the recovery process and Support and access to medical care. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed good model fit with standardized factor loadings ranging from 0.58 to 0.97. A well-fitting second-order factor model provided support for a total preparedness score with second-order factor loadings ranging from 0.75 to 0.93. The ordinal alpha values of the four latent factors ranged from 0.92 to 0.96, indicating good internal consistency. The polyserial correlations with the total score were 0.64 (p < 0.01) for the overall preparedness question and 0.37 (p < 0.01) for overall well-being.

    CONCLUSION: The Swedish Preparedness for Colorectal Cancer Surgery Questionnaire for use in the preoperative phase demonstrated good psychometric properties based on a sound conceptualization of preparedness.

    När traumat sätter sätter sig i kroppen: Affektreglering och somatoforma dissociationer hos patienter2016Independent thesis Advanced level (professional degree), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Experiences of trauma that not are taken care of may give somatic symptoms, in some cases as signs of dissociation, so called somatoform dissociations. Patients with these symptoms search for help in the medical care where insufficient knowledge of trauma symptoms can delay adequate treatment. The aim of this study is to investigate therapists’ experiences of therapy with traumatized patients that have somatoform dissociations. The questions to be asked are: Which experiences do psychotherapists have of affect regulation and alliance with traumatized patients? Which symptoms do patients have that can be seen as somatoform dissociations? How can you be aware of trauma related problems in the medical care? The method is a qualitative approach based on interviews of five legitimated psychotherapists working with traumatized patients. The result shows that somatic symptoms are common in traumatized patients and that some symptoms can be seen as somatoform dissociations. The somatic symptoms can be seen as signs of unprocessed affects and affect regulation is a way to reduce the symptoms. In psychotherapy faith is an important part of the alliance. Derived conclusions are that somatoform dissociations need to be highlighted so that the link between somatic symptoms and dissociation can be clarified. In the medical care the knowledge of trauma is essential so that the patient also gets help with affect regulation and not only further medical treatment of somatic and psychological symptoms.

    Experiences and preferences of care among Swedish immigrants following a prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart defect in the fetus: A qualitative interview study.2016In: BMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, ISSN 1471-2393, E-ISSN 1471-2393, Vol. 16, no 1Article in journal (Refereed)
    Abstract [en]

    BACKGROUND: Immigrants experience significant challenges when in contact with healthcare and report less satisfaction with maternity care compared to native Swedes. Research that gives voice to pregnant immigrant women and their partners following a prenatal diagnosis of a fetal anomaly is scarce. Thus, the aim of this study was to explore experiences and preferences of care following a prenatal diagnosis of congenital heart defect among Swedish immigrants.

    METHODS: Pregnant immigrants and their partners were consecutively recruited following a prenatal diagnosis of a congenital heart defect in the fetus. Nine respondents were interviewed in five interviews, four with the aid of a professional interpreter. The material was analyzed using manifest qualitative content analysis.

    RESULTS: The analysis resulted in five categories: 1) "Trustworthy information", 2) "Language barriers", 3) "Psychosocial situation", 4) "Peer support", and 5) "Religious positions".

    CONCLUSION: The potential need for interpreter services, visual information, psychosocial support, coordination with welfare officers, and respect for religious positions about termination of pregnancy are all important aspects for health professionals to consider when consulting immigrants faced with a prenatal diagnosis of fetal anomaly in the fetus. Peer support within this context needs to be further explored in future studies.

    Att se personen bakom beroendet: en litteraturstudie om vårdrelationens betydelse för personer med alkoholberoende2015Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Alcohol dependence is a medical diagnosis and differs from alcohol abuse and harmful drinking. Dependence develops in interaction with the reward system and has a hereditary component. People with alcohol dependence are a stigmatized group in society as well as within healthcare, and the diagnosis means great suffering. It is therefore important to shed light on these individuals own experiences of caring relationships.

    Aim: To illuminate experiences of caring relationships in people with alcohol dependence.

    Method: A literature review with the keywords Alcohol dependence, care, patient experiences, alcohol addiction, phenomenological, alcohol, treatment barriers, patient satisfaction, nursing, experiences and qualitative. Ten qualitative studies collected from Cinahl Complete, PubMed, Nursing and allied health source, PsycINFO and Psychology and Behavioral Sciences Collection were analyzed and thematized.

    Results: The overarching theme that was formed from the results was Different aspects of the caring relationship with four subthemes. These subthemes were 1) The importance of mutual trust and affirmation, 2) The meaning of knowledge and professionalism, 3) Power and involvement in the caring relationship, and 4) To feel judged and discriminated.

    Discussions: The results are discussed in relation to Barkers Tidal model. In the discussion it is noted that much that emerged in the results were positive experiences and what this may be due to. Further discussed is what negative attitudes towards people with alcohol dependence can mean for the person, and whether it's possible that extended knowledge can improve these attitudes.

    Abstract [en]

    Background:In the nursing education the importance of cooperation with the patients nextof kin is emphasized. Following the changed view on mental illness the institutionalized mental care was phased out. The psychiatric reform of 1995 aimed to reinforce the psychiatric patients rights and positions in the society.

    Aim:To describe the experiences of the next of kin of mentally ill persons.

    Method:A literature review was performed according to Fribergs (2010) method for literature review. After searches performed in the databases Cinahl Plus withFull Text, Academic search premiere, Medline and PsychInfo twelvequalitative articles were choosed for analyzis. The theoretical framework of the review is Katie Eriksson’s concept of suffering.Based on her theory the authors have answered following questions: 1) In what way is the next of kins life and situation affected and what are the consequences? 2) How can a nurse ease the suffering of the next of kin?

    Results:The next of kin carry a big responsibility in the care. The responsibility creates feelings of loss, sorrow, loneliness, worry, frustration, guilt and self affacement. The next of kin experience the cooperation with health care malfunctioning. Information, involvement and availability are desirable features of the health care. The next of kin tend to look beyond the health care to find support.

    Discussion:Despite guidelines for involving the next of kin in care, they experience bad encounter in contact with formal care. Lack of information, availability and involvement leads to increased suffering for the next of kin. A possible reasonfor the experienced unwillingness of cooperation could be that thepsychodynamic point of view regarding the family as a cause of disease is maintained in the psychiatric care.
