Get PDFNorwegian nurses' attitudes toward assisted dying : a cross-sectional study
Get PDFPurpose: The purpose was to investigate: (a) Norwegian nurses’ attitudes toward assisted dying, and (b) how much nurses receive requests from terminally ill patients for help in dying. Participants and Methods: A quantitative explorative study was conducted using a web-based cross-sectional survey to collect data. The survey was sent to a total of 734 eligible participants, and 205 clinical nurses participated by completing the survey. Data were analyzed using bivariate statistics and multivariate ordinal regression. Results: The study revealed that 56% of the participating nurses agreed with the statement that physician-assisted suicide should be allowed, and 48% supported legalization of euthanasia. Nurses in pulmonary wards were more positive about the legalization of physician-assisted suicide (OR = 2.98, CI = 1.34– 6.66, p = 0.008) and euthanasia (OR = 3.51, CI = 1.58– 7.81, p = 0.002) than nurses in oncological wards. Nurses over 30 years old held more negative attitudes about physician-assisted suicide than younger nurses (OR = 0.16, CI = 0.07– 0.39, ppublishedVersio
The facilitation of user-involvement for people with dementia as experienced by health care professionals : a qualitative study using focus groups
Get PDFObjective The main objective of this study was to explore how health care professionals experience adaptation of user-involvement for people with dementia receiving health and social care. Method A qualitative explorative design was used with eight focus groups as the method of data collection. A total of 49 health care professionals were included representing a variety of professions, municipal and specialized health services, and all health regions of Norway. The transcribed focus group interviews were analyzed using qualitative content analysis following six steps to identify categories and the overall theme. Results Six main categories were identified: 1) facilitation of self-determination, 2) challenges of reduced or lack of awareness, 3) family caregivers’ concern and protection, 4) open communication, 5) establishing a trustworthy relationship, and 6) clarifying expectations. To maintain independent lives for people with dementia, health care professionals must facilitate and support shared decision-making using an open and trustworthy communication. Conclusion To facilitate user-involvement, health care professionals need to develop and implement strategies that consider the perspectives of people with dementia and support the relationship between people with dementia and their informal caregivers.

“Just as usual” : cooperation between parents and kindergarten in a context of parental illness and death
Get PDFI denne artikkelen retter vi oppmerksomhet mot foreldresamarbeid i barnehagen ved alvorlig, livstruende sykdom hos en forelder. Vi retter dermed oppmerksomhet mot omsorg som en grunnleggende del av barnehagens innhold, og vektlegger hvordan ansvar for ivaretakelse inkluderer samarbeid med familier som lever med sykdom og sorg. Følgende problemstilling er satt fram: Hva kjennetegner barnehagelæreres forhandling av samarbeidskontrakten mellom hjemmet og barnehagen når en mor eller far er alvorlig syk og dør? Artikkelen tar utgangspunkt i et datamateriale fra individuelle intervjuer, der 18 barnehagelærere delte beretninger om foreldresamarbeid når en forelder var rammet av alvorlig og livstruende sykdom. Resultatene av analysen presenteres som tre kjennetegn i hvordan barnehagene forhandler om samarbeidskontrakten: Forandrede betingelser på gammel kontrakt, Reforhandling gjennom formelt foreldresamarbeid og Mellompersoner. Kjennetegnene drøftes med bakgrunn i en nordisk barnehagetradisjon, barnehagens samfunnsmandat og barnehagelærerens ansvar for å håndtere foreldres alvorlige sykdom og død som en del av foreldresamarbeidet og, ikke minst, som en del av ansvaret for ivaretakelsen av sørgende barn. Artikkelen konkluderer med at ansvar for å justere foreldresamarbeidet ikke kan overlates til foreldrenes initiativ. Sorgstøtte og samarbeid må betraktes som del av barnehagens forpliktelser. Barnehagens beredskapsplaner må innlemme proaktiv støtte i form av formelt foreldresamarbeid som legger til rette for reforhandling av samarbeidskontrakten. Slik blir det mulig å innlemme sorg og død som legitime tema også innenfor barnehagen som kontekst.

We emphasize how the responsibility for care involves cooperation with families living in a situation of illness and bereavement, and ask: What characterizes kindergarten teachers’ negotiation of the contract of cooperation between home and kindergarten when a mother or father is severely ill and dying? Empirically, the results presentation derives from kindergarten teachers’ (n = 18) subjective accounts of cooperation with parents when a mother or father is severely ill and dying of a somatic disease, collected through life form interviews. A main finding is that the kindergarten teachers tend to keep the contract of cooperation “just as usual,” remaining parental illness and death as illegitimate topics within the kindergarten context. The results are presented as three characteristics of how the kindergarten teachers negotiate the contract of cooperation: “Changed premises on old contract,” “Negotiation through formal cooperation,” and “People in-between.” We suggest that bereavement support and cooperation between parents and kindergarten during illness must be considered a responsibility of the kindergarten. The kindergartens’ bereavement response plans must include proactive, early support to families by negotiation of the contract of cooperation in formal meetings.
