  English abstract:

  ‘Recovery’ is a term used in many contexts, and especially within medicine, care, and psychiatry. People can recover from a number of bad states, e.g., heartache, hunger, poverty, and indebtedness. However, given the context of this article, social psychiatry, the term appears to be about ‘getting better’, or even ‘being healed’ from a disease, disorder, illness, or similar condition. Even so, in the medical and psychiatric literature the term is used in a number of different ways, and a variety of end goals for recovery are suggested, some of which convey very different approaches to, or methods for, treating (helping, supporting, facilitating) individuals, users, clients, or patients, in order for them to recover. That the term comes with many meanings becomes even more clear when one approaches the field of social psychiatry, where the ‘recovery movement’ in psychiatry makes both a theoretical and ethical/political point in viewing recovery as a very special, and ‘valuable’, process or phenomenon. The aim of this paper, then, is to formulate a definition of the concept that might be particularly useful in the context of social psychiatry. First, the basic concept ‘recovery’ will be defined, abstractly, and second, it will be decided what, exactly, is the quality (or qualities) that the individual should regain. Several ideas about what the valued dimension should consist of will be discussed, e.g., symptom reduction, mental functioning, health, subjective well-being, happiness, quality of life, empowerment, and a meaningful life.

• Global folkhälsa : om livsvillkor, sjukdomar och social rättvisa
  Vilhelmsson, Andreas; Tengland, Per-Anders  : Studentlitteratur (2016)	Book

  

  

  Swedish abstract:

  Aldrig i mänsklighetens historia har jordens befolkning haft det så bra som de har det nu. Världens rikedomar är större än de någonsin tidigare varit och i takt med det ökade välståndet blir världens invånare överlag allt friskare och allt äldre. Samtidigt har de generella välfärds- och hälsoökningarna inte kommit alla till del. En person som idag föds i USA förväntas tjäna 100 gånger mer under sin livstid än en samtida person i Zambia, samtidigt som en genomsnittlig japan förväntas leva 38 år längre än en sierra leonian. Ett stort problem är således att den globala hälsoförbättringen de senaste decennierna har varit djupt ojämlik. Syftet med denna bok är att redogöra för de globala folkhälsoproblem som idag utgör den största bördan för mänskligheten, liksom för de övergripande globala faktorer som har en påverkan på olika befolkningars hälsa. Boken syftar även till att presentera en begreppslig ram för folkhälsoområdet, och den diskuterar ett antal etiska aspekter rörande den globala hälsosituationen och dess olika orsaker. Den argumenterar slutligen för att det globala samfundet bör ta ett större ansvar för att åtgärda nuvarande problem och skapa en hållbar förändring.

  English abstract:

  Background Colonoscopy plays a crucial role in the diagnosis of paediatric inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), adolescents comprise 25% of all cases of IBD. Several studies have found that a safe, informative, and effective colonoscopy, performed in a child-friendly atmosphere with minimal distress to the child, is difficult to achieve. The aim of this study was to describe nurse’s experiences of the pre-colonoscopy procedure prior in children. Methods A qualitative design with a thematic content analysis approach was used. Fifteen nurses at a children’s hospital participated in interviews regarding their experiences of the bowel cleansing procedure with PEG in children. Results Four key themes were extracted from the nurses’ experiences; lack of knowledge, challenges surrounding information, responsibility without control and assembly line- like procedure.. Conclusions This study shows that nurses feel that they need more time and education opportunities before involved in paediatric colonoscopies.

  English abstract:

  Aims: To explore nursing students’ perception of peer learning during cross‐cultural learning activities through student‐led webinars. Design: An exploratory qualitative study. Methods: Thematic analysis of data collected from reflective journals and focusgroup interviews of participating nursing students across three international universities in Australia, Hong Kong, and Sweden during autumn 2017. Results: Three themes were identified: peer learning as creation of friendship; peer learning from interactions that went beyond what was originally intended; and peer learning as empowered learning. Conclusion: Combining peer learning as an educational approach with cross‐cultural and student‐led webinars provided new perspectives. On‐line learning across global boundaries, based on a sound educational model, creates new opportunities for internationalization without straining individual and institutional financial resources
