Complex security environments are characterized by violence (including, but not limited to "armed conflict" in the legal sense), poverty, environmental disasters and poor governance. Violence directly affecting health service delivery in complex security environments includes attacks on individuals (e.g. doctors, nurses, administrators, security guards, ambulance drivers and translators), obstruct

bstract. This paper promotes nurses increased opportunities for active participation in the implementation of the healthcare system with special attention to implementation outside clinics, in patient's homes. The aim is to increase understanding of which rationality that underlies implementation with examples from two international projects implementing health care systems in several European cou

The Genomic Medicine Sweden (GMS) initiative aims to strengthen precision medicine across the country. This will be accomplished through the implementation of large-scale sequencing techniques in Swedish healthcare. With a patient-centered view, initial efforts will focus on rare diseases, cancer, pharmacogenomics, and infectious diseases, and subsequently extend to complex diseases. GMS is being

This study aimed at evaluating the applicability of affordances and to what extent the concept could explain design related incidents. The chosen area of interest was healthcare. By employing the Critical Incidents Technique and melding it with the concept of affordances, an evaluation of designs was conducted on workflow activities in a Central Sterilization Unit. Results indicated that affordanc

Introduction: The COVID-19 pandemic forced leaders and employees in health care services to take difficult decisions to manage risks associated with employee health and the organizations’ functioning. This study aims to identify the changes in employee working routines, job demands, and job resources within Swedish maternal healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic, and how these changes affected wo

Background Dyspnoea is one of the emergency department’s (ED) most common and deadly chief complaints, but frequently misdiagnosed and mistreated. We aimed to design a diagnostic decision support which classifies dyspnoeic ED visits into acute heart failure (AHF), exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (eCOPD), pneumonia and “other diagnoses” by using deep learning and complete, uns

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has shown similar or improved clinical outcomes compared with surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis at low risk for surgical mortality. This cost-utility analysis compared TAVI with SAPIEN 3 versus SAVR in symptomatic severe aortic stenosis patients at low risk of surgical mortality fr

Background: Cognitive impairment is common in Parkinson’s disease (PD), but care needs and resource use for those with significant cognitive impairment are not well established. Methods: 675 participants with PD from the international Care of Late-Stage Parkinsonism (CLaSP) study were grouped into those without (n = 333, 49%) and with cognitive impairment (MMSE < 24/30 or diagnosis of dementia or

Part I of the dissertation examines the cognitive aspects of autonomy. The central question concerns what kind of cognitive capacity autonomy is. It will be argued that the concept of autonomy is best understood in terms of a metacognitive capacity of the individual. It is argued that metacognition has two components: procedural reflexivity and metarepresentation. Metarepresentation in turn can be

Radiotherapy (RT) is a repetitive treatment divided into daily fractions, scheduled five days a week from one up to several weeks depending upon the child’s diagnosis. Although RT is painless and non-invasive, children experience anxiety. Depending on the child’s age, anxiety or inability to comply, they may require sedation or general anaesthesia (GA), meaning that some children receive GA over 3

Precision medicine has the potential to transform healthcare by moving from one-size-fits-all to personalised treatment and care. This transition has been greatly facilitated through new high-throughput sequencing technologies that can provide the unique molecular profile of each individual patient, along with the rapid development of targeted therapies directed to the Achilles heels of each disea

BackgroundLong-term oxygen therapy (LTOT) given for at least 15 hours/day improves survival in patients with severe chronic hypoxemia. However, the recent REDOX trial showed that LTOT prescribed for 24 hours/day was not superior to 15 hours/day in terms of death, hospitalizations, or self-reported outcomes. We aimed to examine the cost effectiveness of prescribing LTOT for 24 versus 15 hours/day.M

The aim of this study was to explore how healthcare counselors in their role as child representatives at adult habilitation clinics in Sweden experience the implementation of support for children as next of kin. Healthcare law in Sweden states that children as next of kin are entitled to information, advice and support by healthcare professionals when living together with an adult relative that ha
