Background: Evidence concerning health care use related to virtual visits is conflicting. More research has been called for regarding the effectiveness of text-based virtual visits (eVisits). Therefore, we investigated patient characteristics, diagnoses, and subsequent health care contacts after eVisits to primary care. Methods: We conducted a register-based cohort study of eVisits to an all-virtu
Background: By 2030, the global population of people older than 60 years is expected to be higher than the number of children under 10 years, resulting in major health and social care system implications worldwide. Without a supportive environment, whether social or built, diminished functional ability may arise in older people. Functional ability comprises an individual's intrinsic capacity and p
Objective. To investigate the type of urinary diversion performed after cystectomy in patients with muscle-invasive bladder cancer in Sweden, using data from a population-based national register. Material and methods. Since 1997, the Swedish Bladder Cancer Register has included more than 90% of all patients with newly diagnosed bladder cancer. The different types of urinary diversion performed in
Syftet var att undersöka arbetsplatsrelationer som resurser för hälsa och välbefinnande från ett salutogent perspektiv. Antalet äldre människor ökar i befolkningen och äldreomsorgen har redan en ansträngd arbetsbörda, varför det är angeläget att ägna mer uppmärksamhet åt de salutogena aspekterna för arbetstagarna inom äldreomsorgen. Studierna utfördes inom en kommunal vård- och omsorgsorganisationThe purpose of this thesis was to explore workplace relations as resources for health and well-being from a salutogenic perspective. The number of elderly people is increasing in the population and elderly care has already a strained workload, why it is urgent to pay more attention to the salutogenic aspects for employees’ in elderly care. The studies have been carried out within a municipal healt
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES: To describe the patients' retrospective experiences of the information and support they received while on the heart or lung transplant waiting list. BACKGROUND: Patients differ in the way that they cope with the time spent waiting for a heart or lung transplant. Patients must already before the transplantation be taught about a new lifestyle, risk factors, medication, food res
Background. Many patients with heart failure have generalized wasting, referred to as cardiac cachexia. This leads to skeletal muscle wasting, impaired mobility, reduced functional capacity and poor prognosis. Patients with heart failure have symptoms that can affect their food intake, for example breathing difficulties, fatigue, nausea, loss of appetite, early feeling of fullness and ascites. The
Popular Abstract in English In this thesis I will compare and contrast two willow warbler subspecies, each with different migratory programs that meet in Central Sweden forming a migratory divide and hybrid zone. These migratory programs differ in the direction and distance traveled during migration. The "northern" willow warblers migrate south-southeast through the Balkan Peninsula to winter in eIn this thesis I will compare and contrast the two willow warbler subspecies (Phylloscopus trochilus trochilus and P. t. acredula) with differing migratory phenotypes (or "migratype") in the context of their migratory divide and hybrid zone in central Sweden. Their migratory programs differ in the direction and distance traveled during migration. The "northern" willow warblers migrate south-southe

BACKGROUND: Due to demographic changes, hospital emergency departments in many countries are overcrowded. Internationally, several primary healthcare models have been introduced as alternatives to hospitalisation. In Norway, municipal acute wards (MAWs) have been implemented as primary care wards that provide observation and medical treatment for 24 h. The intention is to replace hospitalisation f

Knowledge can no longer just be divided into individuals being either informed or uninformed. Individuals might just as well be misinformed, risking sharing faulty information and faulty conclusions. With the development of digital technology, it is becoming increasingly difficult to separate fact from fake and to debunk misperceptions.

Objectives: Risky alcohol use before surgery is associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications and longer hospital stays. Preoperative alcohol interventions can improve surgical outcomes but are not commonly integrated into routine care. This study sought to better understand patient's and provider's perceptions of alcohol-related surgical health and healthcare practices and illu
BackgroundChildren with chronic diseases are reported to have increased risk of psychiatric comorbidity. Few studies have investigated this risk in juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA), with conflicting results. We performed a population-based, longitudinal cohort study of the risk of depression and anxiety in south-Swedish patients with juvenile arthritis.MethodsThe south-Swedish JIA cohort (n = 6
All five Nordic countries emphasize equal and easy access to healthcare, assuming that increased access to healthcare leads to increased health. It is the purpose of the present study to explore to which extent the populations of these countries have reached good health and a high degree of socio-economic equality in health. Each of the five countries has established extensive public health progra
Objective A delayed diagnosis of pituitary adenomas (PAs) can lead to increased morbidity and reduced quality of life. The aim was to estimate diagnostic delay and investigate the concordance between patient-reported symptoms and the medical record documentation in patients with PA. Design Cross-sectional study. Setting Seven university hospitals. Participants 654 patients: non-functioning PA (NFP
Aims and objectives: To explore municipal healthcare employees' experiences of relationships with care recipients and colleagues. The specific research questions were when do the relationships enhance well-being, and what prerequisites are needed for such relationships to occur? Background: Employees in health and social care for older people often depict their work in negative terms, and they oft
Introduction: Pre-anaesthesia (PA) assessments aim to ensure that anaesthesia is administered as safely and efficiently as possible, minimising risks and improving patient care. While the goal remains the same, the content, delivery, setup and evaluation of PA assessments have evolved over the years, driven by technological opportunities and healthcare systems' needs. Hence, the objective of this
