Syftet var att belysa sjuksköterskors syn på åldrandet och äldres vård och omsorg i Etiopien. Urvalet bestod av tio sjuksköterskor som arbetade på ett sjukhus i staden Deibre Zeyit i Etiopien. Data samlades in med hjälp av tio intervjuer baserade på en semistrukturerad intervjuguide. Intervjuerna spelades in digitalt och data analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Analysen resulterade i tre

Det har framkommit att äldre har bristande följsamhet till läkemedelsbehandling vid långvarig sjukdom vilket kan innebära sämre livskvalitet när sjukdomen fortskrider och ökade kostnader för samhället. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att identifiera omvårdnadsåtgärder som kan förbättra följsamheten till läkemedelsbehandling hos äldre samt faktorer som påverkar följsamheten. Studien baseras p

Enligt WHO har 64 miljoner människor i världen kronisk obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) och ca 5 miljoner dör av sjukdomen varje år och detta är ett ökande problem. Patienter med KOL har en minskad livskvalitet till följd av sjukdomen. Astma-KOL sjuksköterskan är en nyckelperson i primärvården när det gäller att medvetandegöra patienterna om deras livskvalitet. Syftet med studien var beskriva den uppl

Flera hundra miljoner kvinnor i världen har genomgått könsstympning och flera miljoner flickor beräknas bli könsstympade varje år. I samband med ökad invandring ökar även sannolikheten för att svensk sjukvårdspersonal konfronteras med detta problem. Kvinnlig könsstympning innebär mycket lidande för kvinnan/flickan och det medför många komplikationer både på kort och lång sikt. Syftet med denna lit

Deep learning techniques can use public data such as facial photographs to predict sensitive personal information, but little is known about what information contributes to the predictive success of these techniques. This lack of knowledge limits both the public’s ability to protect against revealing unintended information as well as the scientific utility of deep learning results. We combine conv

The Russian invasion of Ukraine has brought an unprecedented chance to end the existence of harmful stereotype of Central and Eastern Europe as a region where the Kremlin has special interests. It has cost a lot of political efforts to bring Czechia, Poland, or the Baltic states out of this equation and join the Western institutional framework. Now there is enough momentum for doing the same with

BACKGROUND: Prolonged opioid use (more than 90 days) after injury puts the patient at risk for adverse effects. We investigated the patterns of opioid prescription after distal radius fracture and the effect of pre- and post-fracture factors on the risk for prolonged use.METHODS: This register-based cohort study uses routinely collected health care data, including purchases of prescription opioids

OBJECTIVE: Although injury burden prompts elite athletics (track and field) athletes to engage in injury management, little is known about their health literacy. We investigated musculoskeletal (MS) health literacy in world-leading athletics athletes and associations with prechampionship injury acknowledgement by reduction of training load in different socioeconomic environments.METHODS: Adult and

This piece investigates a contested intersection between the decisionisms of Carl Schmitt and Søren Kierkegaard. In his Political Theology (1922), Schmitt quotes from Kierkegaard’s Repetition (1843) to support his claims about sovereignty, decision, and exception. However, as I argue, it is more likely an implicit (mis)interpretation of Fear and Trembling’s (1843) articulation of faith – particula

Peatlands are unique ecosystems that contain massive amounts of carbon. These ecosystems are incredibly vulnerable to human disturbance and climate change. This may cause the peatland carbon sink to shift to a carbon source. A change in the carbon storage of peatlands may result in surface deformation. This research uses the interferometric synthetic aperture radar (InSAR) technique to measure the

Background: Treatment of common bile duct (CBD) stones after Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) poses a particular challenge given the altered anatomy and inability to perform a standard endoscopic retrograde cholangiogram (ERC). The optimal treatment strategy for intraoperatively encountered CBD stones in post-RYGB patients has not been established. Objectives: To compare outcomes following laparosc

We introduce the notion of a-walk S(n) = a1X1 +… + anXn, based on a sequence of positive numbers a = (a1, a2,…) and a Rademacher sequence X1,X2,…. We study recurrence/ transience (properly defined) of such walks for various sequences of a.

A higher intake of gluten during childhood is associated with increased risk of celiac disease, and the incidence of celiac disease peaks shortly after the time point when associations with higher gluten intake during the second and third year of life occur. Additional environmental factors are most likely necessary for celiac disease to develop. It is hypothesized that gastrointestinal infections
