The main purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between job demands, job resources, burnout, and engagement among Norwegian university staff. In total, 236 staff from one university in Norway answered the questionnaire. Hierarchical multiple regression analyses identified ...

Background - Caring for an individual with an eating disorder involves guilt, distress and many extra burdens and unmet needs. This qualitative study explored the experiences of parents with adult daughters suffering from anorexia nervosa or bulimia nervosa and the strategies they adopted. A subsidiary aim of the study was to explore the relationship between the caregivers’ perceived need for ...

Neonatal alloimmune thrombocytopenia (NAIT) is a disease where the fetus or newborn experience pathological low levels of blood platelets. This is a potentially fatal condition. Antibodies produced by the mother, crossing the placental barrier, targeting the β3-integrins expressed on fetal platelets, drive the disease. The antibodies are initially produced by B-cells, which are dependent on T-cells ...

Flere faktorer bidrar til å påvirke klinisk holdbarhet på sementerte tannrestaureringer. Fordi preparering av tannvev til en ekstrakoronal restaurering er irreversibel, er det utstrakt forskningsaktivitet for å finne metoder og teknikker for å minimere biologisk skade og utvikle nye biomaterialer som krever mindre avvirkning av tannvev. Derfor blir vi stadig bombardert med nye «bedre» eller «enklere» ...

<p>Background: The EuroQol EQ-5D is one of the most widely researched and applied patient-reported outcome measures worldwide. The original EQ-5D-3L and more recent EQ-5D-5L include three and five response categories respectively. Evidence from healthy and sick populations shows that the additional two response categories improve measurement properties but there has not been a concurrent comparison ...

Burns and other skin injuries are growing concerns as well as challenges in an era of antimicrobial resistance. Novel treatment options to improve the prevention and eradication of infectious skin biofilm-producing pathogens, while enhancing wound healing, are urgently needed for the timely treatment of infection-prone injuries. Treatment of acute skin injuries requires tailoring of formulation to ...

Through coming alongside a Sami family, we open spaces to contemplate multiple forms of silence. We argue that rather than the antithesis to narrative, silence is an integral part of narrative inquiry. As narrative inquirers we need to be wakeful to what is told and also untold, often simultaneously. We believe that narrative inquiry is not necessarily about breaking silences, but it is also about ...

<p>Objectives: To explore alcohol consumption among older Norwegian adults with symptoms of cognitive decline, assess the agreement between the reports of older adults and their next of kin regarding a person’s alcohol consumption, and explore clinical and sociodemographic variables associated with agreement. <p>Method: Alcohol consumption was measured among 3608 older adults consulting specialist ...

Hovedoppgaven var en del av et større forskningsprosjekt i regi av professorene Ingunn Skre og Rannveig Grøm Sæle. Tidligere studier har forsøkt å kartlegge faktorer som henger sammen med å ha fordommer mot temaet psykisk helse hos ungdom. Kjønn og alder har vist seg å være av betydning, da å være yngre og å være gutt henger sammen mer fordommer mot temaet. Det finnes imidlertid ikke nok studier til ...

Bakgrunn: Matoverfølsomhet er et stort og vedvarende folkehelseproblem. Forekomsten er usikker, men i Europa beregnes det at mellom 11-26 millioner av mennesker lider av matallergi. Prevalensen topper seg i barneårene til mellom 5% og 8%, og den høyeste insidensen er i barnets første leveår. Helsesykepleiere er den yrkesgruppen som tettest følger opp barn, ungdom og deres familier. De er ofte ...
