Varje dag blir människor utsatta för sexuella övergrepp, detta är en traumatisk händelse som kan framkalla en krisreaktion hos den som blivit utsatt. Det är därför viktigt att sjuksköterskor vet hur de på bästa vis ska bemöta dessa personer. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vad sjuksköterskor som arbetar med denna patientgrupp anser är ett bra bemötande. En kvalitativ empirisk metod användes. Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes på två gynekologiska akutmottagningar i södra Sverige. Datamaterialet som framkom ur intervjuerna analyserades med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. I studiens resultat framkom tre övergripande teman: patientcentrerad vård, kompetens och samverkan. Under dessa teman framkom faktorer som var till hjälp för att få till stånd ett bra bemötande, och faktorer som försvårade det. Faktorer som påverkade bemötandet positivt var: bra samverkan med polisen, möjlighet att skapa en avskild och lugn miljö, följsamhet för patientens vilja och behov, kontinuerlig information till patienten samt att ge patienten möjlighet att tala om vad som hänt. Faktorer som påverkade bemötandet negativt var: den stressiga miljön på akutmottagningen, sjuksköterskornas behov av att distansera sig från patienten samt ett icke fungerande samarbete med andra yrkeskategorier. Det visade sig även att sjuksköterskorna var noga med att aldrig döma patienten eller den situationen hon befann sig i. Studiens slutsats var att utbildning och specialiserade kliniker behövs för att bemöta denna patientgrupp på bästa vis. / Every day, people are exposed to sexual assault. This is a traumatic event that can provoke a crisis reaction from the victim. It is therefore important that nurses know the best way to respond to these persons when encountering them. The purpose of this study was to examine what nurses who work with this patient group consider to be a good encounter. An empirical qualitative method was used. Semi-structured interviews were conducted in two gynecological emergency departments in southern Sweden. The data that emerged from the interviews were analyzed with the help of a qualitative content analysis. The result of the study reveals three main themes: patient-centered care, competence and cooperation. These themes revealed factors that were helpful in bringing about a good encounter, and factors that made it difficult. Helpful factors where: good cooperation with the police, the possibility to create a secluded and peaceful environment for the patient, adherence to the patient's desire, continuously inform the patient and give the patient an opportunity to talk about what had happened. Factors that made the good encounter difficult was: a stressful environment in the emergency room, nurses feeling the need to distance themselves from the patient and poor cooperation with other professionals. Another find was that the nurses were careful never to judge the patient or the situation the patient was in. The conclusion of the study was that education and specialized clinics are needed to meet the needs of this patient group.

Bakgrund: Diabetes Mellitus är en samling av kroniska sjukdomar, som påverkar kroppensförmåga att hantera blodsockernivån. I Sverige uppskattas att cirka 470 000 människor liderav sjukdomen. Det mest effektiva sättet att förebygga diabetes sena komplikationer är attpatienten själv bedriver en god egenvård. Sjuksköterskans roll i diabetesbehandling är av storbetydelse, då de stödjer och handleder patienter att bedriva god egenvård. Syfte: Syftet meddenna litteraturstudie var att undersöka sjuksköterskors erfarenhet av patienters följsamhet tillegenvårdsråd vid diabetes typ 2. Metod: Studien har genomförts som en kvalitativlitteraturstudie baserat på tio artiklar som har hämtats från databaserna CINAHL ochPubMed. SBU:s granskningsmall har använts för kvalitetsgranskning. Analysen gjordesutifrån metoden som är för kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: Resultatet presenteras utifråntre kategorier: Sociokulturella aspekters betydelse, Förutsättningar inom vården ochSjuksköterskans kunskap. Ur dessa skapades även tio underkategorier: Religiöst tankesätt,Kulturellt tankesätt, Stöd från anhöriga, Egenvård och delaktighet, Samverkan i team medandra vårdprofessioner, Resurser och stöd, Personcentrerad vård, Erfarenhet, Utbildning,Sjuksköterskornas metod att förmedla kunskap Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor upplevde att etteffektivt samspel mellan sjuksköterskor och övriga professioner, ökade deras motivation ochsjälvförtroende i diabetesbehandlingen för både patienter och sjuksköterskor. Vidare framgårdet att hänsyn till patienters sociokulturella aspekter och bruk av ett personcentrerattillvägagångssätt är avgörande faktorer i patientens följsamhet till sjuksköterskors rådgivning / Background: Diabetes Mellitus is a collection of chronic diseases which affect the body’sability to regulate the blood sugar level. In Sweden alone, there are approximately 470 000diagnosed patients. The most effective method to counteract and treat the disease is for thepatient in question to establish proper self-care practices. The nurse plays a central role in thediabetes treatment since the nurse supports and guides the patient to conduct a good self-careroutine. Aim: This literature review aims to investigate nurses’ experience of patientcompliance to self-care advice regarding diabetes type 2. Method: The study has beenconducted as a literature review of ten articles, where a qualitative approach has been used tocompile a result. The articles have been collected from the databases CINAHL and PubMed.Further, the quality of the studies has been examined with the help of SBU’s review templatefor qualitative studies. The analysis was conducted by the method presented in qualitativecontent analysis. Result: The result was presented from three categories: The importance ofsociocultural aspects, Conditions in the care and the nurses’ knowledge. From thesecategories a total of ten subcategories were used: Religious mindset, Cultural mindset,Support from relatives, Self-care and participation, Cooperation in teams with othercare-professions, Resources and support, Personcentred care, Experience, Education and thenurses’ method to convey information. Conclusion: Nurses experienced that an effectiveteamwork with the other involved professions increased their motivation and self-confidenceand made the diabetes treatment easier for both patients and nurses. Further, it was clear thatconsideration to the patients’ sociocultural aspects and using a patient-centered approach arecrucial factors that affect patients’ adherence to the nurses’ advice.

<p>The practice of medicine has evolved from individual practice, mainly led by physicians, towards an interdisciplinary team-based activity that takes into consideration patients’ needs, preferences and values. This shift towards what is known as the patient-centered care (PCC) model requires better communication among medical staff and patients. Feedback is a key factor to improve team learning processes and also to understand patient perspectives. The objective of this thesis was to create a system to facilitate feedback processes within the Toronto General Hospital (TGH). To do so, a kiosk-based system was designed, allowing patients and health care providers to send feedback messages as well as positive recognition messages in appreciation of other people’s commitments and achievements. A pilot test was conducted by placing a kiosk in the General Internal Medicine unit at TGH for seven weeks. During this study, the application running the kiosk registered all user actions, with the objective of understanding how patients and staff interacted with the system. The kiosk was perceived as a positive, easy to use, and valuable tool by patients and providers. The different elements that need to be improved for future upgrades of the system are discussed. Overall, the use of kiosk-based systems to gather feedback should be considered when creating high performing teams in the health care domain.</p> / Master of Science (MSc)

The premise of the dissertation is that self-management support can be provided and be beneficial within a recovery framework for individuals living with serious mental illnesses.</p> <p><strong>Methods</strong></p> <p>A large regional service was studied as an exemplar of specialized service delivery. Using a van Manen phenomenological study through an occupational therapist lens, the meaning of clients’ experiences with self-management learning events in a diverse sample was examined. Conditions shaping clinicians’ experiences and actions enabling self-management across eight varied settings were identified in a Yin case study with embedded units. Provider triads (occupational therapist-nurse-social worker) from each setting, allowed an examination of patterns by individual, discipline and practice environment. With an integrated knowledge translation approach, both studies informed the strategic creation of an innovation and implementation plan for organizational change.</p> <p><strong>Results</strong></p> <p>Findings created a rich picture of clients’ lifeworlds learning self-management and conditions and mechanisms influencing clinician self-management support practices. Client self-management needs were not routinely addressed by services. Clients experienced eight tasks shaped by contextual structures represented in a model of the work of learning self-management. Self-management was enmeshed in recovery and a personal resource for self-determination and living well. Another model illustrated the complex dynamic relationships underpinning clinicians’ intentions and actions, and key features of clinicians enabling client self-management. A structured approach to delivering self-management support and a learning and embedding initiative were generated.</p> <p><strong>Conclusions</strong></p> <p>The dominance of practice environments offers an opportunity for organizational change. Direction is given to customize self-management support in a conventional mental health service. The conceptualization of self-management support within a recovery framework may benefit all client groups with long-standing conditions.</p> / Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

No / Measuring the quality of care for people using neuro-rehabilitation services is a complex area requiring reliable methods that account for variable communication abilities/cognitive functioning. Dementia Care Mapping (DCM) is an observational method widely used in dementia care to improve person-centred care, which may be usefully applied to neuro-rehabilitation settings. Evaluation is vital to determine the tool's acceptability in this setting. To explore the views of staff/patients regarding whether the use of DCM is acceptable in a neuro-rehabilitation setting. METHOD: DCM was conducted on an acute neuro-rehabilitation ward. Q-methodology, a technique for extracting subjective opinions, was used with 23 staff and 10 patients on the ward to evaluate the acceptability of DCM. RESULTS: Factor analysis was performed separately for staff and patient Q-sorts. Each found a "consensus" factor where all participants indicated positive acceptability for the use of DCM. Further exploratory factors indicated that some staff/patients had additional views/concerns that were not captured by the first consensus factor. CONCLUSIONS: The results from this preliminary study are promising and indicate that DCM is potentially an acceptable tool to use in acute neuro-rehabilitation. Further research is needed to explore the acceptability of this tool more widely across neuro-rehabilitation settings. IMPLICATIONS FOR REHABILITATION: Person-centred care is widely acknowledged as being important in all care settings, including neurorehabilitation. Dementia Care Mapping was deemed to be an acceptable approach for improving the quality of person-centred care on the basis of the views of staff and patients in a neurorehabilitation ward. Dementia Care Mapping, with adaptations for neurorehabilitation settings, successfully provides an acceptable framework for measuring and improving the quality of person-centred care in this setting.

No / It is estimated that 820,000 people in the UK have dementia. Dementia costs the UK 17 billion a year and in the next 30 years this will treble to over pound50 billion a year. There is a need to raise competence of staff delivering care to people living with dementia across health, social and voluntary sector provision. Effective education and training will build capacity and improve staff knowledge. However, at present not enough is known about the experiences of staff involved in gaining the skills, knowledge and attitudes required to support provision of high quality care for people with dementia. This study was conducted within a large National Health Service Trust in the UK serving an urban, ethnically mixed population, in collaboration with a local university. The trust responded to government policy by seeking to identify staff training needs. The aim was to explore the experiences of staff working within a specialist mental health service in relation to development of skills for the provision of person-centred care for people with dementia. To achieve this, staff roles, experiences of dementia training and the ways in which staff feel they learn were explored through focus group interviews. Relatives' views of staff competencies necessary for effective care provision were also explored to supplement the data from staff. A total of 70 staff and 16 family carers participated and data were subjected to inductive thematic analysis. Five themes emerged: competency-based skills, beliefs, enablers and barriers and ways of learning. Findings suggested participants felt that skills for person-centred care were innate and could not be taught, while effective ways of learning were identified as learning by doing, learning from each other and learning from experience.

O profissional de saúde ao visualizar a gravidez na adolescência como um problema de saúde a ser corrigido, torna invisível o paciente como sujeito de direitos e necessidades de cuidado. Há percepções de que as práticas no campo da Medicina estão descoladas da realidade e não atendem, ao que parece, às demandas dos usuários como sujeitos de direitos das ações em saúde. Os conhecimentos adquiridos, construídos e compartilhados foram incorporados à realidade da prática médica, porém a grande questão é saber e entender em que medida e de que forma acontece esse processo e como se relaciona com os demais envolvidos, ou seja, qual a percepção e o que prevalece ou torna-se invisível o sujeito paciente na abordagem médica às questões complexas da saúde dos indivíduos. Os objetivos desse trabalho foram desvelar as invisibilidades do sujeito paciente na questão da gravidez na adolescência sob os olhares do profissional da saúde e, consequentemente, caracterizar especificidades dos olhares do profissional da saúde na prática da assistência aos adolescentes com experiência de gravidez que os tornam invisíveis ao profissional. Para esse fim, foi adotado como procedimento metodológico a investigação cientifica da pesquisa descritiva de abordagem qualitativa, por meio da análise de conteúdo des entrevistas semi estruturadas, de aspecto geral sobre assuntos relacionados ao tema central gravidez na adolescência e a assistência médica, com perguntas comuns e consensuais que envolviam significados, ensino, a prática cotidiana e saúde pública com profissionais de saúde médicos, que trabalham com adolescentes grávidas, nos serviços da rede de saúde pública em município da Grande São Paulo, com vinculação acadêmica a Instituição de Ensino Superior. Desvelaram-se que as invisibilidades do sujeito paciente na questão da gravidez na adolescência são resultados da produção médica no cuidado ao paciente, nos valores e representações da lógica médica. Caracterizaram-se como especificidades dos olhares do profissional de saúde que invisibiliza o sujeito adolescente na prática assistencial a produção da ciência médica fundamentada na percepção de mundo para esses profissionais que conflitam com as percepções de mundo do adolescente na experiência da gravidez. A ciência médica voltada ao modelo biomédico e organicista, baseada numa tradição positivista, torna a arte médica um lugar de pouca reflexão estrutural e privilegia-se o saber instituído em detrimento de novas possibilidades do cuidado médico, onde as questões que envolvem dimensões humanas têm difícil inserção. O outro eixo está fundamentado nas percepções de modelo social de estrutura familiar tradicional e no poder em manter a ordem que a sociedade atribui ao médico. / The health professional to show teenage pregnancy as a health problem to be corrected, makes invisible the patient as a subject of rights and care needs. There are perceptions that the practices in the medical field are detached from reality and does not meet, it seems, the demands of the users as subjects of rights of health actions. The knowledge acquired, built and shared were incorporated to the reality of medical practice, but the big question is to know and understand to what extent and in what way does this process and how it relates to others involved, therefore, what the perception and what prevails or becomes invisible subject patient in medical approach to the complex issues of the health of individuals. Among the most common health guidelines, some are eligible to potentially reach a greater degree of complexity to the care and become provocative assistance gaps, which in this study called the invisibility of the subject, and one of the staves, we work with teenage pregnancy, and the invisibility of this teenager in this important moment of your life that need care and support of the health professional. The objectives of this study were to reveal the invisibilities of fellow patient on the issue of teen pregnancy in the looks of the healthcare professional and, consequently, characterize specificities of the looks of the health professionals in the practice of assistance to adolescents with pregnancy experience that makes them invisible to the professional. For this purpose, was adopted as methodological procedure scientific research of qualitative research, through the analysis of semi structured interviews, General aspect on subjects related to the central theme teen pregnancy and medical assistance, with common questions and consensual involving meanings, teaching, daily practice and public health with medical health professionals, who work with pregnant adolescents services public health network in municipality of greater São Paulo, academic affiliation with the Medical Education Institution. Was unveiled that the invisibility of the subject patient issue of teenage pregnancy are the result of medical production in patient care, values and representations of medical logic. Were characterized as specific looks of the health professional that the adolescent subject rather invisible in healthcare practice the production of medical science based on the perception of the world for these professionals that conflict with the perceptions of the world of the adolescent experience of pregnancy. The focused on biomedical and medical science organicist model, based on a positivist tradition, makes the medical art a place of reflection and little structural knowledge is privileged at the expense of established new possibilities of medical care, where issues involving human dimensions are difficult insertion. The other axis is based on the perceptions of the social model of traditional family structure and power \"in maintaining order\" that society attaches to the doctor.

Contexte : L'évolution des pratiques en alcoologie, suivant le modèle des soins centrés sur la patient, permet de revisiter le concept de rémission pour une meilleure prise en compte du point de vue du patient, participant de façon prépondérante dans la définition de ses objectifs thérapeutiques et dans leur évaluation. Pourtant, peu de ces critères subjectifs de l’évaluation du devenir des patients ont véritablement inclus le patient dans leur développement. Jusqu'à récemment, les instruments mesurant la qualité de vie les plus utilisés en alcoologie étaient génériques, constitués d'items générés par les experts et s'appuyant sur la littérature existante, mais n'ayant pas impliqué de patient dans leur développement, c’est-à-dire dans la génération des items. Méthodes : nous avons réalisé une revue systématique de la littérature recensant les essais thérapeutiques randomisés testant une intervention chez les patients alcoolodépendants, et mesurant son efficacité sur la qualité de vie. Nous avons répertorié les dimensions explorées dans les instruments existants. Il a été montré que ces instruments n'exploraient pas de façon optimale l’impact de l’alcoolodépendance sur la qualité de vie. Sur ce constat, nous avons développé conformément aux recommandations de la Food and Drug Administration (FDA) sur le développement des « Patients-Reported Outcomes » une échelle spécifique au trouble d'usage d'alcool, à partir du vécu rapporté par les patients. Nous avons utilisé la méthode des groupes focus, réalisés en parallèle en France et en Grande-Bretagne auprès de 38 patients présentant un trouble d’usage d’alcool. Ces groupes ont pu générer un pool d’items, testés secondairement par des entretiens cognitifs individuels auprès de 31 patients, aboutissant à l’échelle finale « Alcohol Quality of life Scale » (AQoLS). Nous avons ensuite validé l’échelle AQoLS sur un échantillon de 285 patients français présentant un trouble d’usage d’alcool, recrutés dans des centres sélectionnés de façon aléatoire en France. Résultats : L’échelle développée comporte 34 items, répartis selon 7 dimensions : les relations sociales, les activités, les conditions de vie, s’occuper de soi, les émotions négatives, le sommeil et la perte de contrôle. L’analyse de l’échelle a pu confirmer 6 de ces sept dimensions, avec une répartition légèrement différente des items. La dimension « s’occuper de soi » a disparu au profit d’une nouvelle dimension, l’estime de soi. Les dimensions de contrôle et d’estime de soi sont novatrices dans un instrument de qualité de vie liée à la santé, chez l’adulte. L’échelle a montré de bonnes propriétés psychométriques, avec une bonne consistance interne (Cronbach = 0.96), et une corrélation modérée mais significative avec certains sous-scores de la SF-36 et l’EQ-5D. Un travail complémentaire qualitatif a pu illustrer les liens entre les différents domaines impactés, et notamment la proximité de perception dans les propos des patients, entre l’estime de soi, la perte de contrôle et les troubles cognitifs. Conclusion : L’évolution vers un modèle des soins centrés sur le patient permet d’envisager une conception différente de la rémission et de construire et valider une mesure de la qualité de vie se rapprochant des préoccupations des patients, l’échelle AQoLS. Deux dimensions novatrices ont été rattachées à ce concept : la perte de contrôle du point de vue du patient, et l’estime de soi. / Context : The evolution of practices in alcohol use disorder field, following the model of patient-centered care, lets revisit the concept of remission for a better consideration of the patient's point of view, participating predominantly in the definition of therapeutic objectives and in their assessment. Yet few of these subjective criteria of the evaluation of patient outcomes have actually included the patient in their development. Until recently, quality of life instruments the most used among patients with alcohol use disorder were generic ones, and their development and particularly generation of items did not involve patients, but rather experts and were based on existing literature. Methods : we conducted a systematic literature review identifying randomized clinical trials testing an intervention in alcohol-dependent patients, and measuring its effectiveness on quality of life. We have listed the dimensions explored in the existing instruments. It has been shown that these instruments did not optimally explore the impact of alcohol dependence on quality of life in this population. On this, we have developed a scale specific for patients with alcohol use disorder, following the recommendations of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) on the development of "Patient-Reported Outcomes", namely involving patients extensively. We used the method of focus groups conducted in parallel in France and Great Britain with 38 patients with alcohol use disorder. These groups allowed the generation of a pool of items, secondarily tested by individual cognitive interviews with 31 patients, resulting in the final scale "Alcohol Quality of Life Scale" (AQoLS). We then validated the AQoLS scale on a sample of 285 French patients with alcoho use disorder, recruited from randomly selected centers in France. Results: The scale has 34 items developed, distributed in seven dimensions: social relationships, activities, living conditions, looking after self, negative emotions, sleep and loss of control. The validation study confirmed six of the seven dimensions, with a slightly different distribution of the items. The "looking after self" dimension disappeared in favor of a new dimension of self-esteem. Control and self-esteem dimensions are innovative in a health-related quality of life instrument in adults. The scale showed good psychometric properties, with good internal consistency (Cronbach = 0.96), and a moderate correlation with sub-scores of the SF-36 and EQ-5D. A qualitative complementary work could illustrate the links between the different affected areas, including the proximity in patients’ perception between self-esteem, loss of control and cognitive impairment. Conclusion : The move towards a model of patient-centered care allows considering a different approach of remission and to build and validate a measure of health-related quality of life close to the concerns of patients with a alcohol use disorder, AQoLS scale. Two innovative dimensions were attached to this concept: loss of control from the patient's perspective, and self-esteem.
