Hvilke utfordringer knyttet til kulturforståelse opplever flerkulturelle familier i møte med barnevernet?

Denne oppgaven tar utgangspunkt i noen sentrale utfordringer knyttet til kulturforståelse som flerkulturelle familier kan oppleve i møte med barnevernet. Oppgaven benytter litteraturstudie som metode. Data er innhentet gjennom eksisterende teori og forskning for å belyse oppgavens problemstilling. Norge har blitt et mer mangfoldig land, og basert på tidligere forskning, indikerer disse funnene at familier med en flerkulturell bakgrunn opplever flere utfordringer i møte med det norske barnevernet. Disse utfordringene er sammenfattet i ulike kategorier knyttet til frykt og mistillit, kommunikasjonsutfordringer og ulike oppfatninger av omsorg og barneoppdragelse. Problemstillingen er diskutert i lys av disse funnene knyttet opp mot teori som omhandler kulturrelativisme, etnosentrisme, kulturforskjeller, kulturkompetanse og kultursensitivitet. Det kan være av betydning at barnevernsarbeideren har kulturkompetanse og er kultursensitiv i møte med familiene, uavhengig av familiens bakgrunn. Samlet sett prøver oppgaven å belyse sentrale utfordringer og mulige løsninger knyttet til samspillet mellom disse partene.This assignment is based on some key challenges related to the cultural understanding that multicultural families can experience facing the Norwegian child welfare services. Literature studies is the method used in this assignment. The data is obtained through existing theory and research, to enlighten the stated problem. Norway has become a more diverse country, and based on previous research, it comes to light that families with a multicultural background experience more challenges in meeting the Norwegian child welfare services. These challenges are comprised of multiple categories related to fear, mistrust, communication issues, as well as different perceptions of childcare and upbringing. The issue is discussed against the theory related to cultural relativism, ethnocentrism, cultural differences, cultural competence and cultural sensitivity. It may be of importance that the child welfare employee has cultural competence and has cultural sensitivity when meeting the families, regardless of family’s background. In conclusion, the issue at hand is trying to enlighten the central challenges and discuss possible solutions linked to the interactions between these parties

Anstrengelsesutløst sykdomsfølelse/symptomforverring (PEM): Systematisk litteratursøk

Hovedbudskap Folkehelseinstituttet, område for helsetjenester (daværende Nasjonalt kunnskapssenter for helsetjenesten) fikk høsten 2015 i oppdrag av Norges ME-forening å kartlegge forskning på anstrengelsesutløst sykdomsfølelse/symptomforverring (Post-Exertional Malaise, PEM) ved kronisk utmattelsessyndrom CFS/ME. Vi har utført et systematisk litteratursøk, gjennomgått referansene fra søket og sortert relevante referanser i ulike kategorier.publishedVersio

Situational factors in focus group studies: a systematic review

The aim of this study was to see how contextual factors are expressed, used, and analyzed in data collected in focus group discussions (FGDs). The study includes an assessment of how the methodological reporting of contextual factors might influence and improve the trustworthiness of articles. Articles reporting workplace health, stress, and coping among health professionals were identified in a systematic review and used in the analysis. By using Vicsek’s framework of situational factors for analysis of focus group results as a starting point, we found that contextual factors were most frequently described in the method sections and less frequently in the results and discussion sections. Vicsek’s framework for the analysis of focus group results covers six contextual and methodological dimensions: interactional factors, personal characteristics of the participants, the moderator, the environment, time factors, and the content of FGDs. We found that the framework does not include a consideration of psychological safety, ethical issues, or organizational information. To deepen the analysis of focus group results, we argue that contextual factors should be analyzed as methodological dimensions and be considered as a sensitizing concept. Credibility, confirmability, dependability, and transferability can be strengthened by using, reporting, and discussing contextual factors in detail. The study contributes to elucidating how reporting of contextual data may enrich the analysis of focus group results and strengthen the trustworthiness. Future research should focus on clear reporting of contextual factors as well as further develop Vicsek’s model to enhance reporting accuracy and transferability.publishedVersio

Tiltak for å rekruttere og beholde helsepersonell

Bergen kommune ønsket å få vite hvilke tiltak som er effektive for å rekruttere og beholde helsefaglig og annet personell som arbeider med personer med utviklingshemming. Vi identifiserte ikke systematiske oversikter som omhandlet personer med funksjonshemming, men det antas at resultatene fra andre deler av helsetjenesten der det er vanskelig å rekruttere og beholde personell har relevans for denne problemstillingen.publishedVersio
