The use of driving simulator for training learner drivers belonging to a high-risk group.

Immigrant drivers are considered a high-risk group in traffic, especially drivers from Middle East, and Africa are represented more than other groups in road accident statistics There are several factors why this group are at a higher risk than others. First of all, this group often consist of people with another cultural understanding of risk and road safety and a significant different driver training than the Norwegian driver culture and training. In addition, the language and terminology used in driving is different from what they are familiar with. For this reason, the group is specified in the Norwegian national transport plan (NTP) as a group where research-based measures for increasing safety are in demand. Thus, our research question was: Can driving simulator be a beneficial measure for safety for the high-risk group migration driver trainers? Method: Five interviews with driver instructors who used driving simulators to train migration driver trainers were conducted in addition to observations of teaching situations. Grounded theory was used for analysis. Results: The core category was “The simulator could increase safety training” This was based on the 2 main categories “The simulator is used like a car” and “Re-creating knowledge”. The conclusion was that simulator, in addition to real life training, could be a good tool for teaching immigrants to drive according to Norwegian standards.publishedVersio

Psychosocial work environment among musicians and in the general workforce in Norway

Musicians suffer from physical and mental health symptoms more frequently than the general population. Although their specific demands and challenges have been researched increasingly in the past, explanations still remain somewhat unclear. We use a large epidemiological data set to compare psychosocial work environment among 1,607 members of the Norwegian Musician’s Union with a national sample of 8,517 employees from the general Norwegian workforce. Musicians reported more control over their work; however, they felt less supported and acknowledged, had more work-family conflicts and less motivation, and perceived their work as more demanding compared to the general workforce. In the musician sample, results indicated that classical and contemporary musicians are experiencing a less favorable psychosocial environment in terms of control, demands, and acknowledgment, orchestral players felt less control and soloist less support. Future studies should explore possible interventions to improve musicians’ psychosocial work environment.publishedVersionUnit Licence Agreemen

Situational awareness in a creeping crisis: How the initial phases of the COVID-19 pandemic were handled from a crisis management perspective in the Nursing Home Agency in Oslo

In March 2020, the municipality of Oslo's Nursing Home Agency was hit by Norway's first COVID‐19 outbreak. Being responsible for a very vulnerable group, they had to deal with a situation never before encountered and of which they had very limited knowledge. In this study, we explored how situational awareness (SA) changed from a creeping to an urgent crisis. We undertook a case study of the Nursing Home Agency's top management during the initial period of the COVID‐19 pandemic (December 2019 through late March 2020). We conducted individual interviews with the management in charge of decisions. Thematic analysis yielded four main categories affecting SA: perception of event development, perception of available time, information, and cooperation and trust. We found that subjective experience of the geographical proximity of the crisis and subjective experience of time were essential in shaping SA. Perception of time was essential to the understanding of urgency, which was an important factor in reacting properly. Further, the perception of space was necessary for the crisis to be interpreted as critical. Time and space are objective factors but are perceived subjectively. Our model showed that the crisis must be perceived as urgent for proper actions to be decided upon.publishedVersio
