Strukturella förutsättningar för landsbygdens entreprenörskap: Institutionella logiker och naturbaserade sociala innovationer Studien behandlar utveckling av landsbygdens entreprenörskap; hälsofrämjande tjänster med avstamp i djur och natur. Sociala innovationer krävs för att lösa utmaningarna med tillgången till personcentrerad och kostnadseffektiv vård samt att främja hälsa och social integration. Studier pekar på naturbaserade innovationer (NBI) som möjlighet för förbättrat välbefinnande, återhämtning och förmåga att hantera stress. Landsbygdens entreprenörskap har här en roll att fylla. De sociala innovationerna syftar till implementering av nya affärsmodeller, idéer, processer och tillvägagångssätt med avsikt att öka möjligheten att hantera hälsorelaterade samhällsproblem kopplat till psykisk ohälsa. Entreprenörskapet omgärdas av möjliggörande och hindrande strukturer för implementering och skalning. Denna studie syftar därmed till att öka förståelsen för ett hållbart entreprenörskap och de strukturella förutsättningarna som möter NBU-entreprenörer på landsbygden. Hur kan möjligheter tillvaratas, hinder överbryggas och nya strukturer utvecklas inom ramen för NBI- som sociala innovationer? Studien baseras på intervjuer med NBI-entreprenörer på landsbygden och tar sin utgångspunkt i teoribildningen institutionella logiker för att förstå rådande strukturella förutsättningar. Ett flertal olika nyckelaktörer finns representerade inom ekosystemet för NBI exempelvis entreprenörer, hälso- och sjukvårdsorganisationer (kunder/ användare av tjänster) samt patienter (slutanvändare). Olika nyckelaktörer har olika behov och olika målbild. Agerande baseras på olika institutionella logiker. I studien identifieras entreprenörers upplevelse av olika institutionella logiker och hur det påverkar de strukturella förutsättningarna. Detta tvärvetenskapliga projekt med forskare från Entreprenörskap och innovation, Redovisning- och styrning samt Omvårdnad förväntas bidra med kunskap

Sambandet mellan människors, djurs och ekosystems hälsa är viktigt för att målet "En gemensam hälsa" skall uppnås. I detta kapitel förklarar vi vad One Health är, vilka teorier som ligger bakom One Health, vilka centrala begrepp och perspektiv som är viktiga för området och forskning om kopplingen mellan människors och djurs hälsa, människors och miljöns hälsa, samt djurens och miljöns hälsa. Vi tar upp olika aspekter rörande lantbruksdjur, sällskapsdjur och vilda djur och hur det sätt vi föder upp och sköter dem på påverkar miljön, och i det långa loppet även människor. Vi beskriver hur djurs sjukdomar kan påverka människors hälsa och omvänt, samt One Health-perspektivets koppling till vård, omsorg och rehabilitering utomhus.

Lipedema is a chronic, progressive disease that almost exclusively affects women and often misdiagnosed as obesity or primary lymphedema. Research concerning lipedema is sparse, and there is a lack of studies focusing on women's experiences of living with the illness. We interviewed fourteen women with lipedema with the aim of describing their experiences of living with lipedema. Our results show that women felt controlled by their body, and were fat-shamed and viewed by others as a person who lacked character. They received unsupportive advice on how to manage from healthcare, and blamed themselves while striving to take responsibility.

In order to describe how women with osteoporosis strive to maintain daily life we interviewed 11 women using a reflective lifeworld approach based on phenomenological analysis. Osteoporosis is a major public health concern in the Western world, and is predominant among women. Our findings indicated that meanings of striving to maintain daily life imply a belief in oneself and one’s own capabilities. The women expressly speak out for themselves as a way of finding reconciliation without giving in to the illness. Women with osteoporosis expect to gain support early in the course of their illness. They require advice on how to manage the disease as well as support for striving to maintain daily living. Therefore, it is crucial that the women not only are given information about the disease. Equally important is to establish continuity in healthcare encounters, and that health care offers support founded in the women’s lived experiences with focus on their capacities.

Purpose: Living with fibromyalgia (FM) means living with a long-term pain syndrome that is invisible to others. Support and understanding from others seem to be important to managing the affected daily life. The aim of this study was to describe the significance of FM associations for women with FM. Methods: Data collection was carried out through focus group discussions with seventeen women with FM. Data were analyzed through thematic content analysis. Results: The findings show that women experienced associations for people with FM as important as they gave access to contacts with others with similar experiences. Their need of togetherness was fulfilled at the association and they described being strengthened by the support received. Because of the lack of information and knowledge about FM, the association was described as an important venue for getting and mediating information about the illness. Conclusions: At the association the women seem to be empowered, which increases their ability to manage their daily lives despite the limitations imposed by FM. Healthcare personnel could not satisfy the women’s needs and to manage to support women with FM. There is a need for communication based on a shared understanding between the women and healthcare personnel.Implications for Rehabilitation Read More: http://informahealthcare.com/eprint/hxrQu88eIVBPKf48aBpd/full

Fibromyalgia (FM) is a common chronic pain syndrome that mostly affects middle-aged women. Our aim with this study was to elucidate meanings of being received and met by others as experienced by women with FM. Interviews with a narrative approach were conducted with 9 women. We analyzed the transcribed interviews with a phenomenological hermeneutical interpretation. The findings revealed two themes: being seen as a malingerer and being acknowledged. Meanings of being received and met by others, as experienced by women with FM, can be understood as a movement between the two perspectives. When they were acknowledged, their feelings of security and trust increased, but the women could not rely on this because others received and met them in such an unpredictable manner.

The researchers focus in this study was to elucidate meanings of feeling well for women with fibromyalgia (FM). We obtained narrative interviews with thirteen women with FM and used a phenomenological-hermeneutic interpretation to analyse the interview texts. Our interpretation of the findings show that for women with FM meanings of feeling well can be understood as having strength to be involved. The women's experiences of feeling well meant being in control, having power, finding one's own pace and feelings of belonging.

Living with fibromyalgia (FM) means living with a chronic pain condition that greatly influences daily life. The majority of people with FM are middle-aged women. The aim of this study was to elucidate meanings of pain for women with FM. Fifteen women with FM were interviewed about their pain experiences and a phenomenological hermeneutic interpretation was used to analyse the interview texts. The findings show that meanings of pain for women with FM can be understood as living with a double burden; living with an aggressive, unpredictable pain and being doubted by others in relation to the invisible pain. The ever-present pain was described as unbearable, overwhelming, and dominated the women’s whole existence. Nevertheless, all the women tried to normalize life by doing daily chores in an attempt to alleviate the pain. In order to support the women’s needs and help them to feel well despite their pain, it is important that nurses and health care personnel acknowledge and understand women with FM and their pain experiences.
