The approach to standardized services in Norwegian mental health care is tailored to the needs of the majority population, focusing on diagnoses and overshadows an approach that understands, values and emphasizes Sámi storytelling and everyday life. This study aims to contribute knowledge regarding the promotion of user involvement in mental health care from the perspectives of Sámi mental health ...

There is a lack of studies on ethical responsibility in nursing. Nurses experience ethical responsibility in all settings where patients are exposed and vulnerable. The authors’ interest in public health and intensive care nursing provided a motivation to study these settings. The study aimed to explore how intensive care and public health nurses experience ethical responsibility. A qualitative ...

<p><i>Objectives:</i> This article is based on a pilot study of Finnmark University College's off-campus bachelor programme (BA) for nurses, organised in rural areas. The objectives were to explore whether these courses had contributed to reduced vacancies; whether the learning outcome of the off-campus courses was the same as the on-campus programme, and how the education had influenced the nurses’ ...

Brukermedvirkning er et ideal for norske myndigheter og helsevesen, og en rettighet for personer som benytter seg av tjenester, også innen psykisk helsevern. Et relevant spørsmål er om brukermedvirkning representerer en majoritetsforståelse for brukerorienterte tjenestetilbud, og om en slik forståelse direkte kan overføres til arbeid med samisk befolkning. Hensikten med vår studie er å få økt ...

Narrative care is not merely about acknowledging or listening to people's experiences, but draws attention to practical consequences. We conceptualize care itself as an intrinsically narrative endeavour. In this article, we build on Lugones' understanding of playfulness, particularly to her call to remain attentive ...

This study aims to investigate and discuss how physiotherapists (PTs) on reablement teams ...

We report the synthesis, radiosynthesis and biological characterisation of two gonadotropin‐releasing hormone receptor (GnRH−R) antagonists with nanomolar binding affinity. A small library of GnRH−R antagonists was synthesised in 20–67 % overall yield with the aim of identifying a high‐affinity antagonist capable of crossing the blood–brain barrier. Binding affinity to rat GnRH−R was determined by ...

Videoopptak av to behandlingssituasjoner med ungdom ble brukt som støtte under intervjuet og til utarbeiding av intervjuguide. Datainnsamlingsmetoden er ...

Hensikten med denne studien har vært å rette søkelyset på muligheter og begrensninger med å bruke psykomotorisk fysioterapi til korttidsinnlagte pasienter i psykiatrien. Nedsatt psykisk helse utgjør en av de store helseutfordringene i Norge. Samtidig har antall døgnplasser og liggetid gått ned ved distriktspsykiatriske senter (DPS), noe som kan tenkes å utfordre psykomotoriske fysioterapeuters praksis ...
