Irritable bowel syndrome has a negative impact on a person's quality of life, but only a few existing studies have been based on patients' own perceptions. This study therefore aimed to collect information on the view of female patients with irritable bowel syndrome regarding what constitutes a good quality of life for them and to create a healthcare model for these patients. For the study, 30 wom

Despite the lack of scientific evidence for the effectiveness of Flexible Assertive Community Treatment (Flexible ACT), the model disseminates rapidly in the mental health services in a number of countries. This is in contrast to many evidence-based practices that often face comprehensive implementation barriers. Knowledge is needed on the dissemination of Flexible ACT to understand the relative s

Aims: To investigate associations between trust in the healthcare system and all-cause, cardiovascular, cancer and other causes mortality. Study design: Prospective cohort study. Methods: A public health questionnaire was conducted in 2008 in Scania, the southernmost part of Sweden, with a 54.1% participation rate with a postal questionnaire and three reminders. In this study 24,833 respondents we

The technical development of high-throughput sequencing technologies and the parallel development of targeted therapies in the last decade have enabled a transition from traditional medicine to personalized treatment and care. In this way, by using comprehensive genomic testing, more effective treatments with fewer side effects are provided to each patient—that is, precision or personalized medici

Technological advances and the evolution of mobile technologies enable patients to meet their doctors through their smartphones. While offering the opportunity of digital visits to patients, there are also challenges for this development. The purpose of this study is to enhance the understanding of digital visits, as perceived by experts working in telemedicine companies. To serve this purpose, th

Med åldrande befolkningar, ojämn tillgång till vård och brist på personal står dagens sjukvårdssystem inför många utmaningar. Teknologiska framsteg, särskilt inom artificiell intelligens (AI), har varit en av de främsta drivkrafterna för innovation inom flera industrier. Även om hälso- och sjukvårdssektorn utvecklas långsammare jämfört med andra branscher, finns det stor potential att avlasta vårdWith aging populations, unequal access to care, and shortages of staff, healthcare systems today are facing many challenges. Technology advancements, with artificial intelligence (AI) in particular, have been one of the main drivers of innovation in multiple industries. Although the healthcare sector is moving slower compared to other industries, there is great potential for relieving healthcare w

This thesis examines how Region Skåne and Region Stockholm work to comply with the Swedish care guarantee (vårdgarantin), with a particular focus on the management of waiting lists and the referral of patients to other regions. The study adopts a qualitative and comparative case study design based on document analysis of official reports, policy documents, and statistical data. The analysis is gui

We can normally offer diploma projects within each of the three subtopics discussed under the nuclear astrophysics and reactions page. Diploma  projects related to experiments at ISOLDEISOLDE diploma projects are currently focused on data analysis, simulations and machine development. Students within these projects often get the opportunity to spend time, in some cases also the complete project wi

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated changes in European healthcare systems, with a significant proportion of COVID-19 cases being managed on an outpatient basis in primary healthcare (PHC). To alleviate the burden on healthcare facilities, many European countries developed contact-tracing apps and symptom checkers to identify potential cases. As the pandemic evolved, the European Un
