Nurses' experiences of health promotion work for patients with obesity : A literature review
No full textBakgrund: Obesitas är ett växande folkhälsoproblem som är starkt kopplat till kroniska sjukdomar såsom diabetes och hjärt-kärlsjukdomar. För att effektivt stödja patienter med obesitas är det viktigt att sjuksköterskor kan utbilda patienterna kring beteende- och livsstilsförändringar. Samtidigt möter dessa patienter en utbredd stigmatisering, vilket understryker vikten av ett respektfullt bemötande inom hälso- och sjukvården. Syfte: Att beskriva sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av hälsofrämjande arbete för patienter med obesitas och övervikt. Metod: Systematisk litteraturöversikt baserad på tio kvalitativa och kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar analyserade utifrån Fribergs (2022) modell. Resultat: Resultaten indikerar att sjuksköterskor har en vilja att arbeta hälsofrämjande med obesitas, men att de begränsas av hinder på individ-, organisations-, patient- och samhällsnivå. Centrala teman som identifierades var hinder för hälsofrämjande arbete, personcentrerade strategier för hållbara livsstilsförändringar samt hälsofrämjande arbete som en komplex utmaning. Bristande kunskap, resursbrist och brist på tydliga riktlinjer försvårar sjuksköterskors möjligheter att bedriva evidensbaserad vård. Slutsats: Sjuksköterskor spelar en central roll i att främja hälsan för personer med övervikt och obesitas, vilket är viktigt för att förbättra folkhälsan. Även om de är motiverade, stöter de ofta på hinder som bristfällig utbildning och otillräckliga resurser.Background: Obesity is a growing public health problem that is strongly linked to chronic diseases such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease. In order to effectively support patients with obesity, it is important that nurses can educate patients about behavioral and lifestyle changes. At the same time, these patients face widespread stigmatization, which underlines the importance of respectful treatment within the healthcare system. Aim: To describe nurse´s experiences of health promotion work for patients with obesity and overweight. Method: Systematic literature review based on ten qualitative and quantitative scientific articles analyzed through Friberg (2022) model. Results: The results indicate that nurses have a desire to work to promote health with obesity, but are limited by obstacles at individual, organizational, patient, and societal levels. Central themes identified were barriers to health promotion work, person-centered strategies for sustainable lifestyle changes, and health promotion work as a complex challenge. Lack of knowledge, lack of resources and lack of clear guidelines hinders nurses' ability to provide evidence-based care. Conclusion: Nurses play a central role in promoting the health of overweight and obese people, which is important for improving public health. Although motivated, they often encounter obstacles such as insufficient training and insufficient resources

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Get PDFThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Get PDF“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Get PDFWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Dispelling the Myths Behind First-author Citation Counts
Get PDFWe conducted a full-scale evaluative citation analysis study of scholars in the XML research field to explore just how different from each other author rankings resulting from different citation counting methods actually are, and to demonstrate the capability of emerging data and tools on the Web in supporting more realistic citation counting methods. Our results contest some common arguments for the continued
use of first-author citation counts in the evaluation of scholars, such as high correlations between author rankings by first-author citation counts and other citation
counting methods, and high costs of using more realistic citation counting methods that are not well-supported by the ISI databases. It is argued that increasingly available digital full text research papers make it possible for citation analysis studies to go beyond what the ISI databases have directly supported and to employ more
sophisticated methods
koamabayili/VECTRON-author-checklist: VECTRON author checklist
No full textWe have done our best to complete the author checklist relating to the use of animals in the hut study. Note that the objective for the hut study was to evaluate the IRS treatment applications for residual efficacy against Anopheles mosquitoes, including the local An. coluzzii mosquito population. Cows were only used to attract mosquitoes into the huts and no tests were carried out directly on the cows. The author checklist is intended for use with studies where experiments are carried out on animals, which is why we have had such difficulty in completing this for the hut study, as many of the questions do not relate to how the cows were used
