Utbrenthet og mestringstro blant psykologer
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-12-08)Utbrenthet som en stressreaksjon til økende krav i arbeidslivet, seg selv og samfunnet generelt har i de siste årene kommet mer på agendaen, både som forskningstema og i media. Utbrenthet som fenomen i samfunnet ser ut til å ha økt og det tandrere til å være relatert i større grad til yrker som omhandler følelser og hvor sosial nærkontakt med andre mennesker er mer sentralt (Kvam, 2020). Forskning ... -
The potential for reducing inappropriate hospital admissions : a study of health benefits and costs in a department of internal medicine
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 1999)Inappropriate hospital admissions are defined as those which do not result in health benefit for the patient or in such benefit that could have been obtained on a lower care level. Studies from many parts of the world have reported high rates of such admissions. It is commonly believed that they represent a potential for significant cost reductions. However, this assumes that they can be identified ... -

Vilkår for begrepsdannelse og praksis i psykiatri : en filosofisk undersøkelse
(Others; Andre, 1996)Det begrensede siktemålet med denne avhandlingen, er å gi en oversikt over sentrale vilkår for psykiatrisk begrepsdannelse og praksis. En slik oversikt vil dog forhåpentligvis gjøre det enklere å bedømme hvilke spørsmål det er viktig å stille, i en klargjøring av psykiatriens potensiale som forvalter av intensjonen om lydhørhet overfor den Andres smerte. -

(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 1997)The overall aim of this thesis was to elucidate any association between physical activity and the subsequent risk of some major types of cancer in the general adult population of Norway: prostate, testicular, colorectal, lung and breast cancer. <p> <p>• Another aim was to examine whether physical activity at work had a different association to these cancer types than physical activity in leisure ... -
Factors affecting self-evaluated general health status and the use of professional health care services
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 1991)The idea of health has been given different meanings throughout history. The “Pippin perspective” introduced here contrasts the seemingly prevailing cultural climate of fascination and concern with personal health, uneasiness and “elevating health to a super value, a metaphor for all that is good in life” (1). What Pippin might help to illustrate is the reported historical trend toward a ... -

«Jeg har lyst til å være tynn» - En kvalitativ studie om erfaringer etter fedmekirurgi
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2021-10-25)Bakgrunn: Sykelig overvekt anses å være en alvorlig langvarig sykdom som representerer risiko for ulike somatiske og psykiske tilleggslidelser. Kirurgi som behandlingsmetode er omdiskutert og kritisert i flere studier, som viser til at overvekt er et sammensatt problem som omfatter mer enn selve overvekten. Tilbudet av fedmekirurgi er svært tilgjengelig og økende, men pasienters egne erfaringer med ... -
The mediating impact of lifestyle factors in the relationship between socioeconomic status and self-reported health in a Norwegian cohort of women
(Master thesis; Mastergradsoppgave, 2020-12-01)Introduction: Information on self-reported health (SRH) with a simple question on “How do you rate your health?” provides sufficient information to be a reasonable proxy of health. Socioeconomic inequalities in health are often monitored via SRH. Individuals with better socioeconomic status (SES) more likely to rate their SRH as good. The part of the effect of SES (income level and education) operates ... -
The Harstad injury prevention study : hospital-based injury recording and community-based intervention
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 1995)Accidental injury is the leading cause of death in Norway under the age of 50. A 19 % reduction of age standardized accident mortality was observed from 1956 to 1983. In spite of this, next to Finland, Norway has the highest accident mortality rate among the Nordic countries (1) . To reduce accidental injury it is important to gain knowledge about all injuries, not only the fatal ones. The ... -
Fibroblast growth factor 2 conjugated with monomethyl auristatin E inhibits tumor growth in a mouse model
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-09-20)Worldwide, cancer is the second leading cause of death. Regardless of the continuous progress in medicine, we still do not have a fully effective anti-cancer therapy. Therefore, the search for new targeted anti-cancer drugs is still an unmet need. Here, we present novel protein–drug conjugates that inhibit tumor growth in a mouse model of human breast cancer. We developed conjugates based on fibroblast ... -

(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-11)Background: Nifedipine is a widely used drug in pregnancies complicated by maternal hypertensive disorders that can be associated with placental insufficiency and fetal hypoxemia. The evidence regarding fetal myocardial responses to nifedipine in hypoxemia is limited.<p> <p>Objective: We hypothesized that nifedipine would not impair fetal sheep cardiac function under hypoxemic environment. In ...
