Introduktion: Befolkningens hälsa påverkas i hög grad av hur väl samhället vi lever i fungerar. Samhällen präglade av våld, krig och terror får negativa konsekvenser för människors hälsa. Artificiell Intelligens (AI) är en kraftfull teknik med stora möjligheter att lösa samhällsproblem, men forskare varnar för att AI också kan innebära nya risker. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien är att belysa vilka utmaningar och möjligheter som en ökande utveckling och implementering av AI kan ha på hälsans sociala bestämningsfaktorer inom området avsiktliga skador. Metod: Enligt Denyer och Tranfields (2011) metod genomfördes en systematisk litteraturstudie på 25 tekniska och humanistiska artiklar, som analyserades och syntetiserades med på förhand tydligt uppställda studiefrågor. Resultat: Artiklarna behandlande AI som används inom områden relaterade till avsiktliga skador och kategoriserades som tekniska eller humanistiska. De tekniska artiklarnas syfte var att utveckla AI för problemlösning medan de humanistiska artiklarna analyserade effekterna av implementering av AI. Möjligheterna med AI inkluderade förmågan att göra förutsägelser, fylla kompetensbehov, utnyttja big data och ta fram modeller som kan ge generella lösningar. Utmaningarna bestod av krav på en teoretisk grund, risk för bias, skapa eller välja lämpliga modeller och algoritmer, säkerställa kvalitet på data och databearbetning, validera lösningar, förhindra oavsiktlig användning, tydliggöra ansvar och få acceptans för lösningarna. Utvecklingen och implementeringen av AI påverkar främst tre av hälsans sociala bestämningsfaktorer: stödjande miljöer och friska människor, marknadens ansvar, samt god global styrning. Slutsats: Gemensam global reglering och större samhälleligt engagemang behövs för att säkerställa att konsekvenser för folkhälsan beaktas vid utvecklingen av AI. / Introduction: Public health is affected by the society in which people live. Communities characterized by violence, war and terror have a negative impact on human wellbeing. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a powerful tool with a capability to solve problems in the society but scientists also warn that AI can induce new types of problems. Aim: The purpose of this literature study is to review which challenges and possibilities an increase in the development and implementation of AI can have on the social determinants of health within the area of deliberate injury. Methods: A systematic literature review was performed according to the method by Denyer and Tranfield (2011) and 25 technical and humanistic articles were analyzed and synthesized according to predefined research questions. Results: The articles about AI in the area of deliberate injuries were categorized as technical or humanistic. The purpose of the technical articles was to develop AI for problem solving while the humanistic articles analyzed the effects of AI implementation. The possibilities with AI included predictions, competence need, big data and models for general purposes. The challenges included theoretical grounds, bias, suitable models and algorithms, data quality and processing, validation, wrongful usage, responsibility and acceptance of the solutions. The development and implementation of AI especially affect three of the social determinants of health: healthy places healthy people, market responsibility and good global governance. Conclusion: A common global control and societal commitment is needed to secure that consequences for the public health is considered while developing AI.

Bakgrund: Med en ökad medellivslängd och en minskning av förtida dödlighet betraktas hälsan som god bland befolkningen i Sverige. Det finns dock ett behov av att adressera insatser mot exempelvis psykisk ohälsa, ojämlikhet i hälsa, kostvanor och stillasittande. Regeringen har publicerat en omfattande nationell folkhälsoproposition, men det finns en kunskapslucka beträffande partiernas egna konkreta visioner och arbete inom folkhälsan. Syfte: Syftet med studien var att undersöka riksdagspartiernas visioner och arbete inom olika folkhälsoområden. Metod: Studien genomfördes med en kvalitativ studiedesign och hade ett induktivt synsätt. Data samlades in med ett frågeformulär och sju av åtta partier svarade på frågorna. Det insamlade materialet analyserades med inspiration av Giorgis kvalitativa analys. Resultat: Resultatet visade en bredd av visioner och arbetsinsatser. Partiernas idéer och verksamhet berörde främst hälso- och sjukvårdssektorn. De vill se tydligare uppdrag, ökad tillgänglighet och fokus på förebyggande interventioner. När det gäller skolan vill de arbeta med insatser för elevhälsan, mer idrottstimmar samt sex- och samlevnadsundervisning. Därutöver vill de genomföra olika samhälliga insatser. Slutsats: Utöver partiernas visioner vill de arbeta med folkhälsa genom att bedriva folkhälsopolitik, stödja insatser, utreda och utveckla handlingsplaner samt utöka kunskapsinsatser. / Background: With an increasing life expectancy and a reduction of premature mortality, health is considered good among the Swedish population. Nevertheless, there is a need of addressed interventions against mental illness, inequality in health, eating habits and sedentary, for example. The Swedish government has published a wide-ranging national public health policy, but there is a gap in knowledge regarding the political parties concrete visions and work in the fields of public health. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate visions and work among Swedish political parties in various fields of public health. Method: The study was conducted with a qualitative study design and had an inductive approach. Data was collected by a questionnaire and seven out of eight parties answered. Collected material was analyzed with inspiration from Giorgis qualitative analysis. Results: The result displayed a wide spectrum of visions and efforts. The parties ideas and efforts were mostly containing the healthcare sector. They want to see clearer commitments, accessibility and focus on preventive interventions. Regarding school they intend to focus their efforts on student health and increase the rate of sports and sex education. In addition, they want a variety of community interventions to be performed. Conclusion: Besides their visions, the political parties want to tackle public health issues by practicing politics, support interventions, research and develop policies and amplify knowledge efforts.

Introduktion: Vårdrelaterade infektioner (VRI) har negativ inverkan på folkhälsan med påverkan på mortalitet, morbiditet och livskvalitet. Inom hälso- och sjukvården är VRI en stor utmaning. Den vanligaste VRI i Sverige är vårdrelaterade urinvägsinfektioner (VUVI). För att förebygga VRI är regelbundna mätningar och återkopplingar viktigt. Mätinstrument som idag används på lokal och nationell nivå för att mäta incidens av VRI är bl.a. Markörbaserad journalgranskning och Infektionsverktyget. Syfte: Validera Infektionsverktyget och jämföra incidens av VUVI från Infektionsverktyget mot manuell journalgranskning och Markörbaserad journalgranskning samt studera förekomsten av urinkateter i samband med VUVI. Metod: Under 2017 samlades data in från 143 slumpmässigt utvalda journaler i slutenvården på Södra Älvsborgs sjukhus. Diagnostiserad VUVI och samhällsförvärvad urinvägsinfektion (SUVI) i Infektionsverktyget validerades mot manuell journalgranskning. Incidensen av VUVI i Infektionsverktyget jämfördes även mot VUVI i markörbaserad journalgranskning. Resultat: Incidens av VUVI innan validering var 1.5 % medan den uppskattade incidensen efter manuell journalgranskning och validering var 3.6 %. Markörbaserad journalgranskning visade en incidens på 1.1 %. I 65.6 % av fallen med VUVI fanns en koppling till urinkateter. Den mest förekommande orsaken till inkorrekt registreringen av VUVI var att patienter med urinkateter bedömdes som SUVI. Slutsats: Den rapporterade incidensen av VUVI skiljer sig mellan de mätinstrument som används idag och incidensen är troligtvis högre än vad som idag rapporteras. För att få bra kvalitet på övervakningsdata krävs kunskap och granskning av hög kvalitet. Dock begränsas resultatet från denna studie av att studiepopulationen var relativt liten och därmed begränsar generaliserbarheten. / Introduction: Health care associated infections (HCAIs) have a negative impact on public health, with an impact on mortality, morbidity and quality of life. The most common HCAIs in Sweden are health care associated urinary tract infections (UTI). One important component in preventing HCAIs are regular measurements and feedback to these. Instruments that are currently used for measuring HCAIs at a local and national level in Sweden are marker-based journal review and the Anti-Infection Tool (AIT). Aim:  The aim of this study was to validate the AIT and compare the incidence of health care associated UTI measured with the AIT against both manual journal review and marker-based journal review. The aim was also to study the presence of urinary catheters in conjunction with a healthcare associated UTI. Methods: In 2017, data was collected from 143 records from a random sample of patients admitted to somatic wards at Södra Älvsborg's Hospital. From the AIT, diagnosed health care associated UTI and community-acquired UTI were studied and validated against manual journal review. Also, the incidence of health care associated UTI in the AIT was compared with that found in marker-based journal review. Results: Incidence of health care associated UTI before the validation was 1.5% while the estimated incidence after manual journal review and validation was 3.6%. Marker-based journal review showed an incidence of 1.1%. In 65.6 % of the cases with health care associated UTI, the patient was equipped with urinary catheter. The most common cause of incorrect registration of health care associated UTI was that patients with urinary catheters were assessed as community-acquired UTI.   Conclusion:  The reported incidence of health care associated UTI differs greatly between these instruments. The incidence is probably much higher than what is currently reported using these instruments. To obtain good quality of monitoring data, knowledge and journal reviews of high quality are required. However, the generalizability of the result of this study is limited, due to the relatively small study sample.

Alla människor vill gå till arbetet utan att känna oro och ängslan samt kunna gå hem från arbetet med en positiv känsla i kroppen. Vissa människor går till arbetet med en klump i magen och kommer hem med minnen om en skrämmande och hotfull situation som uppstod under dagen. Dagens lärare utsätts för kränkningar, hot och våld i sitt yrkesutövande något som är en direkt påverkan på deras person och arbetsmiljö. Nummer tre av de åtta folkhälsopolitiska målsättningarna tar bland annat upp ökad hälsa i arbetslivet, något som vissa lärare möjligtvis går miste om. Syftet med studien var att undersöka i vilken omfattning högstadielärare utsätts för, kränkningar, hot och våld och om detta hade ett samband med sjukskrivningar hos lärare. Kvantitativa data samlades in via enkäter ställda till lärare för högstadieelever i klass 7–9. Data analyserades både deskriptivt och analytiskt för att kunna besvara frågeställningarna i syftet. Ur resultaten framkom att majoriteten av respondenterna utsatts för kränkningar hot och/eller våld samt att nästan hälften av respondenterna uppfattar att elevers bemötande påverkar dem negativt samt att elevers beteende var bättre förr. Lärares utsatthet för kränkningar, hot och våld kunde dock inte kopplas till sjukskrivning. Slutsatsen är att lärare är en utsatt yrkesgrupp som behöver få stöd inom sin yrkesroll och erbjudas funktionella verktyg för att kunna utföra sitt yrke, förslagsvis med Krav- kontroll-stödmodellen, samt att skolan som arena behöver ses över och göras säkrare. / Everyone wishes to be able to go to work without anxiety and to being able to leave work with a positive feeling. Some people go to work feeling troubled and return to their homes with memories of a frightening and threatening situation that arose during the day. Teachers are subjected to violations, threats and violence in their occupation, which affects them both personally and within their work environment. Number three of the eight Public Health policy objectives include, among other things, increased health at work something that some teachers may miss out on. The purpose of the study was to investigate the extent to which high school teachers are exposed, violations, threats and violence and whether this had any connection with teacher’s sick leave. Quantitative data were collected through surveys that were filled in by teachers in 7th and 9th grade at primary-schools. Analysis regarding both descriptive and analytic forms were presented to answer the questions included in the studies aim. The results showed that the majority of respondents were subjected to violations, threats and /or violence and that almost half of the respondents perceived that pupils' treatment affected them negatively and that student behavior was better in the past. However, teachers' exposure to violations, threats and violence, could not be linked to sick leave. The conclusion is that teachers are a vulnerable professional group who need to be strengthened and offered functional tools to be able to carry out their profession with the Requirements Control support model and that the school as an arena needs to be reviewed and made safer.

<p>This paper has it’s background in Physical Activity on Prescription, a projectwhich the Swedish sports movement is part of. The study refers to a limiteddivision of sports for adults, namely a phenomenon here by referred to as dropin-activity. This form of physical activity is characterized by an understandingthat the participant often lack experience and that it is possible to pay for eachoccasion. The purpose of the study was thus to take a closer look on organized,non-profit sports clubs which offer this type of exercise for adults. To get theresults interviews was carried out in three different sports clubs with leaders ofthe activity and members from the board. The respondents were asked to talkabout their thoughts and experiences of the activity involving physical activity ofdrop-in nature executed in each sport club. The theoretical framework used toanalyze the interviews was the phenomenon of logics within sport, as describedby Stenling and Fahlén (2009). The analysis resulted in the identification of twomain logics; Social values and Resources for continued existence. The healthperspective were analyzed on the basis what had, or had not been said abouthealth in the interviews. The results show that growth is a main issue which canbe used to motivate the Swedish sport clubs to develop their activities. It’s alsoshown that the participants of the drop in-activities don’t get as much attention asthe ordinary members of the sport clubs which is crucial if the social values areto be obtained. The conclusions are that in order to make the healthimplementations work the programmatic approach has to be clear and consist ofterms that is easily related to.</p>

Mental health is a major child public health issue in Sweden. The overall aims of this thesis are to explore girls’ and boys’ perspectives on mental health and on mental health-promoting initiatives, and to deepen the knowledge of disclosure and support for ado-lescents at risk of abuse and neglect. Four studies are included in the thesis, and a qualitative descriptive design was chosen. In three of the studies (Studies I, II, and III), adolescents in Sweden were interviewed individually or in focus-groups. In the fourth study (IV) officials and politicians in nine municipalities in Sweden were interviewed, and documents were analysed in a multiple-case-study design. In study I the adolescents were asked about the mental health-promoting dialogue with the school nurse. The results reveal that what the adolescents found important were trustiness, attentiveness, respectfulness, authenticity, accessibility, and continuity. The adolescents also had certain views on what issues to talk about in the health dialogue; physical and psychological issues should be included. In Study II, the adolescents perceived “mental health” to be an emotional experience with positive and negative aspects of internal and relational feelings. Family, friends, and school were regarded as important determinants of mental health by the adolescents. Neither girls nor boys thought that there were any major differences in mental health between girls and boys, but did think they were subject to different expectations. In Study III the results show that adolescents with families with alcohol problems are unsure whether to disclose their home situation to an adult; the adolescents seem to make a risk assessment when looking for trustworthy adults. It is a disclosure process. Friends are confidants and supportive, and sometimes facilitators for contacting adults, when support from adults is needed. Study IV show that even small grants to municipalities for children-at-risk projects lead to more activities for these children and adolescents. But children or adolescents were not involved in the planning or decision-making of the activities. The studies in this thesis show that most important thing for adolescents’ mental health is the relation between adolescents and adults, foremost parents, and between adolescents and friends. In addition, gender and age, adolescents’ perspec¬tives and par-ticipation, and society’s support, including the implementation of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, have an impact on adolescents’ mental health, both for ado-lescents in general and for adolescents at risk of abuse and neglect. The results are viewed in relation to the bioecological model, to illustrate how all levels in society influence mental health among adolescents, on an individual and a population plane. The findings have implications for adults: to learn more about adolescents and puberty, and about the home situation for children and adolescents at risk of abuse and neglect; to listen to suggestions from children and adolescents; to include friends in support to adolescents at risk of abuse and neglect; and to include girls and boys in all matters concerning them.

Inledning: Antibiotikaresistens är ett av de största hoten mot global folkhälsa. Meticillinresistent Staphylococcus aureus, tidigare främst associerat med sjukhusvård, överförs nu mellan individer i samhället (samhällsförvärvad meticillinresistent staphylococcus aureus). Att identifiera riskfaktorer är centralt för att kunna bedriva effektivt preventivt arbete mot smittöverföring. Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen var att identifiera och beskriva riskfaktorer associerade med förekomst av samhällsförvärvad meticillinresistent staphylococcus aureus. Metod: Litteraturstudie baserad på 20 internationella artiklar. Huvudfynden i artiklarna kategoriserades i teman. Resultat: Riskfaktorer på samhälls-, hushålls- och individnivå kunde identifieras, bland annat rörande klimat, tidigare antibiotikaanvändning och samsjuklighet.  Diskussion: Ett fåtal enkelt påverkbara riskfaktorer kunde identifieras. Av de identifierade riskfaktorerna är troligen inte alla generaliserbara till en svensk kontext. I flera tidigare studier framhålls att samhällsförvärvad meticillinresistent staphylococcus aureus främst drabbar individer som sedan tidigare är friska, vilket fynden i föreliggande uppsats delvis motsäger då samsjuklighet i exempelvis HIV, diabetes och fetma identifierades som riskfaktorer associerade med samhällsförvärvad meticillinresistent staphylococcus aureus. / Introduction: Antibiotic resistance a threat to global public health. Methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus, previously primarily associated with hospital care, is now being transmitted in the community (community acquired methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus). Identifying risk factors is central to enable effective preventive efforts against transmission of community acquired methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus.   Aim: The aim of this essay was to identify and describe risk factors associated with occurrence of community acquired methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus.    Methods: Literature study based on 20 international studies. The main results from the articles were categorized into themes. Results: Risk factors at community-, household- and individual level could be identified, for instance concerning climate, previous antibiotic treatment and comorbidity. Discussion: A few easily affectable risk factors could be identified. Perhaps not all of the identified risk factors are generalizable to a Swedish context. Previous research demonstrates that community acquired methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus usually affects healthy individuals, which the findings in this essay partly contradict: comorbidity, for instance with HIV, diabetes or obesity, is a risk factor associated with community acquired methicillin resistant staphylococcus aureus.

En ökad mängd interventioner av fysisk aktivitet och rörelse under skoltiden, har positiva effekter på elevernas hälsa och skolresultat, samt minskar tiden som utgörs av stillasittande aktiviteter. Fysisk aktivitet är dessutom en friskfaktor för att minska risken att drabbas av vanliga folksjukdomar och skapar goda förutsättningar för folkhälsan. Stillasittande beteende ökar generellt i samhället och är riskfaktor till uppkomst av kroniska sjukdomar och vidare förtidig död. Samtidigt minskar tiden som individer är fysiskt aktiva, både vardagliga och planerade aktiviteter. Skolan är en lämplig arena för att öka den fysiska aktiviteten, där en bred målgrupp nås utifrån samma förutsättningar på skolan. Syftet var att studera högstadielärares attityder kring fysisk aktivitet och rörelse under skoltiden för elever i årskurs sju till nio, som en hälsofrämjande insats för folkhälsan. Empirin samlades in via enskilda intervjuer och en avslutande fokusgruppsintervju med samma deltagare. Vidare genomfördes en induktiv kvalitativ innehållsanalys. I resultatet framkom att deltagarna var medvetna om att fysisk aktivitet har positiva effekter på elevernas hälsa, men att den enskilda läraren inte var ansvarig för att implementera mer fysisk aktivitet på skoltid. Fysisk aktivitet kopplades med pulshöjande aktiviteter som var schemalagda eller som skulle ske utanför lektionerna, som på rasterna och förslagsvis struktureras av till exempel en fritidspedagog. Ansvaret för att eleverna skulle vara mindre stillasittande och mer fysiskt aktiva under skoldagen, ansågs vara andra aktörer än lärarna själv. Lärarna uttryckte ett behov av djupare förståelse och ökade kunskaper kring fysisk aktivitet och hur de vidare kunde implementera det för att förbättra förutsättningarna för eleverna. Ökad implementering av fysisk aktivitet i skolan med lärarna som resurs, kan komma att ha stor betydelse för vidare folkhälsoarbetet och individers hälsa. Resultatet i studien kan öka medvetenheten om vilka hälsofrämjande interventioner som kan vara lämpliga i skolverksamheter för att förbättra folkhälsan. / More interventions with physical activity and movement during school time, have positive effects on the students health and performance in class, and reduces the time spent on sedentary activities. Physical activity is a health-promoting activity which decreases the risk of becoming ill in common public diseases and creates good opportunities for the public health. Sedentary lifestyle increases in the society and is a risk factor for developing chronic diseases and further to early death. physically active decreases, regarding both everyday- and intentional activities. The school is a suitable arena for increasing the physical activity, since it contains a wide target group and can offer equal conditions. The aim was to study secondary teachers attitudes to physical activity and movements during the school time for students in age 13-16, as a health-promoting intervention for a good public health. The empirical data was collected through individual interviews and a final focus group interview with the same participants. Further an inductive qualitative content analysis was conducted. The result showed that the participants were aware of the positive effects of physical activity on the students health, but the individual teacher wasn't responsible to implement more physical activity at school time. physical activity was connected to pulse-raising activities, which should be scheduled or should take place outside the lessons, suggested during the breaks and be arranged by a leisure teacher. The responsibility for the students to be less sedentary and more physically active during the school day, lays on other actors than the teachers themselves. The teachers expressed a need to gain deeper understanding and increased knowledge of physical activity and how they could continue with implementation of it to improve the conditions for the students. Increased implementation of physical activity in school with the teachers as a resource, may be of great importance to further public health interventions and individuals health. The result from the study can increase awareness of health promoting interventions, which could be applied in schools for a better public health.

Inledningen beskriver Skåneidrottens projekt Senior Sport School, som bygger på de fyra hörnpelarna för ett gott åldrande, det vill säga fysisk aktivitet, social gemenskap, meningsfullhet och kunskap om kostvanor. Senior Sport School är en idrottsskola som uppmuntrar seniorer till ett livslångt idrottande. Tidigare forskning framhåller vikten av att bibehålla fysisk vardagsfunktion, social gemenskap och goda kostvanor i senior ålder för att främja självständighet och oberoende från vården. Syftet med studien var att undersöka pensionärers upplevelser av aktiviteter genomförda i Senior Sport School och hur dessa aktiviteter kan relateras till ett hälsosamt åldrande. Metoden är kvalitativa semistrukturerade intervjuer och deltagarna i studien valdes utifrån tidigare medverkan i Senior Sport School. Resultatet framställs genom de teman som framträdde i intervjuerna, dessa var hälsosamt åldrande, social gemenskap, lärande och idrottskulturens betydelse. I diskussionen lyfts att idrottsskolan upplevs som en viktig social plattform. Det dolda lärandet som seniorerna får genom idrottsskolan har en central roll. Idrottsskolan kan ses som ett stöd i seniorernas lärandeprocess så att de kan förstå och använda sig av hälsoinformation för att förbättra sin hälsa. Konklusionen är att idrottsskola för seniorer upplevs spela en viktig roll för ett hälsosamt åldrande. Social gemenskap och fysisk aktivitet lyft av deltagarna som betydelsefulla men Senior Sport School kan även ses som en viktig del i seniorers kunskapsutveckling. Studiens resultat är positivt för folkhälsan i stort men det krävs fortsatt forskning för att nå ut till flera grupper i samhället. / The introduction presents Skåneidrottens project Senior Sport School, which is based on the four cornerstones of prosperous ageing, i.e. physical activity, social connections, meaningfulness and dietary education. Senior Sport School encourages seniors to a lifelong sport participation. Previous research emphasizes the importance of maintaining physical functionality, social connections and good dietary habits in older age to promote self-reliance and independence from health care. The aim of the study is to investigate pensioners´ views on their participation in activities conducted at Senior Sport School, and whether their experiences can be related to healthy ageing. The method is qualitative semi-structured interviews and participants in the study were selected based on previous participation in Senior Sport School. The results are produced through the themes of the interviews. The themes are healthy ageing, social connections, education and the importance of sporting culture. The discussion emphasizes that Senior Sport School is perceived as an important social platform. The hidden education that seniors receive through Senior Sport School has a central role. Senior Sport School is a support in the seniors´ education process so that they can understand and use the information to improve their health. The conclusion is that a sport school for seniors plays an important role in healthy ageing. Social connections and physical activity is highlighted by the participants as significant, but Senior Sport School is also an important part of seniors´ education development. The study´s results are positive for public health, but further research is needed to engage other groups in society.
