Norwegian public health nursesâ competence areas
Objective: To explore the competence areas of public health nurses in Norway.
Design: A qualitative and comparative design was employed.
Sample: A purposive sample of 41 public health nurses participated.
Measurements: Data were gathered from focus groups and individual interviews. The interviews centered around an open question about public health nursesâ knowledge. They also discussed 10 proposed competence areas for public health nursing, developed from the literature. A qualitative content analysis was conducted on the interview transcripts, followed by a synthesis of the data from the interviews and earlier developed competencies. The 10 competence areas for Norwegian public health nursing were then refined. Finally, we compared the affirmed competence areas with earlier developed cornerstones and the new educational guidelines.
Results: The interviews revealed 10 competence areas. These 10 competence areas were synthesized with the 10 proposed competencies from literature. Ten affirmed competence areas, which mostly corresponded with the competences from literature, were developed. The affirmed competencies were supported by the previously developed cornerstones and new educational guidelines.
Conclusions: The affirmed competencies will help promote and explain the content and focus of PHNsâ work in Norway and may have implications for education and international research.publishedVersio

IBD risk loci are enriched in multigenic regulatory modules encompassing putative causative genes
GWAS have identified >200 risk loci for Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The majority of disease associations are known to be driven by regulatory variants. To identify the putative causative genes that are perturbed by these variants, we generate a large transcriptome data set (nine disease-relevant cell types) and identify 23,650 cis-eQTL. We show that these are determined by âŒ9720 regulatory modules, of which âŒ3000 operate in multiple tissues and âŒ970 on multiple genes. We identify regulatory modules that drive the disease association for 63 of the 200 risk loci, and show that these are enriched in multigenic modules. Based on these analyses, we resequence 45 of the corresponding 100 candidate genes in 6600 Crohn disease (CD) cases and 5500 controls, and show with burden tests that they include likely causative genes. Our analyses indicate that â„10-fold larger sample sizes will be required to demonstrate the causality of individual genes using this approach
