Varmluftsstrategi for begyndere

Man får ondt i maven af at læse Varmluftstrategi for begyndere af Per Helge Sørensen. Først af grin, men når grinet lægger sig, og man tænker efter, får man ondt i maven, fordi det er en skræmmende beskrivelse af, hvordan vores arbejdsliv er blevet. For arbejdsmiljøprofessionelle, forskere og andre, der arbejder med organisationer, er der mange væsentlige budskaber i bogen – selvom det egentligt ikke er ny viden. Og det gør det måske endnu mere skræmmende. Vi ved det godt, vi beskriver det dog fra andre vinkler. Det kan fx dreje sig om undersøgelser eller projekter, der handler om medarbejdere, der mister meningen med deres arbejde eller bliver stressede, fordi forandringer gør det svært at løse deres opgaver

Home administration of needle injections for children with rheumatic diseases: A qualitative study on nurses’ perception of their educational role

Purpose - To explore nurses' perceptions of their educational role, pedagogical competence, and practice in teaching children with rheumatic diseases and their parents to manage subcutaneous injections at home. Design and methods - In this qualitative study, we used thematic analysis to analyze data from three focus groups with 14 nurses responsible for patient education at one pediatric ward and two outpatient clinics. Results - We identified three main themes capturing nurses' perceptions of their educational role: myriad expectations, awareness of own competence, and facilitation and prioritization of patient education. Nurses perceived patient education as an expected but challenging duty of their work. They described a lack of pedagogical competence, insecurity in managing parents' and children's fears and worries, and limited organizational structures guiding their educational role. Nurses who worked in outpatient clinics felt freer to individualize education compared to ward nurses. Conclusions - Nurses perceive their educational role as significant in enabling children and parents to manage subcutaneous injections at home; however, they require pedagogical competence integrated with daily practice to provide high-quality care. Short-term admissions require a different organization of patient education than before
