Caught up in Care: Crafting Moral Subjects of Chronic Fatigue
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-17)Patients with chronic fatigue receive advice to improve symptom management and well-being. This advice is based on ideas of self-management and is conveyed during clinical assessment as “activity regulation.” Based on ethnographic fieldwork in a hospital clinic in Norway, we show how these patients attempt to demonstrate their competences and everyday concerns, and how the ideology of self-management ... -

Considering Silences in Narrative Inquiry: An Intergenerational Story of a Sami Family
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-04-03)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 ... -
Drivers of expectations: Why are Norwegian general practitioners skeptical of a prospective electronic health record?
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-01-13)While expectations are well-known drivers of electronic health record (EHR) adoption, the drivers of expectations are more elusive. On the basis of interviews with general practitioners (GPs), we investigate how the early implementation process drives their expectations of an EHR that is being implemented in Norway. The GPs’ expectations of the prospective EHR are driven by (a) satisfying experiences ... -

Helsesykepleieres arbeid med matoverfølsomhet hos førskolebarn En kvalitativ studie om hvordan helsesykepleiere ser på sitt kunnskapsgrunnlag.
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2021-05-03)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 ... -
The Effects of Perinatal Fluoxetine Exposure on Social and Non-Social Investigation Behaviors in a Novel Environment
(Mastergradsoppgave; Master thesis, 2020-07-31)Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) are increasingly prescribed as medication for various affective disorders during pregnancy.
