Resources and strategies young people use and need to promote mental health - a qualitative study from a salutogenic perspective.

Aim: The aim of this study was to explore young people's experiences of resources and strategies for promoting their mental health.

Methods: Individual interviews with 33 people aged 16-25 years were conducted using a method inspired by cognitive interviewing, which combines think aloud techniques with probing questions. The interviews were based on the young people's reflections of the questions in the Swedish national public health survey.

Learning to teach at a norm-critical clinical learning centre: A Phenomenographic study.

Background: Campus-based clinical learning centres are used for practice and learning in nursing students' education and can be arenas in which to enhance students' awareness and competence in social justice issues. Norm-critical approaches can be used as pedagogical tools in these centres to prepare students for hands-on caring situations in which social norms can bias the outcome.

Objectives: To describe nursing teachers' conceptions of learning norm-critical approaches and implementing them in a clinical training centre.

When nursing education becomes political: Norm-critical perspectives in a campus-based clinical learning environment.

Nursing education is in the process of incorporating critical thinking, social justice, and health inequality perspectives into educational structures, aspiring to help nursing students develop into professional nurses prepared to provide equal care. Norm criticism is a pedagogical philosophy that promotes social justice. This qualitative case study aimed to gain an understanding of and elaborate on an educational development initiative in which norm criticism was incorporated into the composition of a new campus-based clinical learning environment for nursing education.

Encircling discourses-A guide to critical discourse analysis in caring science.

Aim: The aim of this article was to introduce Fairclough's critical discourse analysis (CDA) in caring and nursing science, to provide a guide on how to perform such an analysis, and to describe the wider context of discourse epistemology.

Design: The article is designed as a methodological paper, including (a) epistemological roots of discourse analysis, (b) an overview of discourse analytical research within caring and nursing science which points out an increased trend, and (c) a guide to conducting a CDA.

Analysis: It is important that discourse analysis is available and accessible to nursing and caring researchers.

Healthcare professionals discourses on men and masculinities in sexual healthcare: a focus group study.

Studies have reported that men's uptake of sexual health services is low, that these services make them feel vulnerable, and that they experience sexual healthcare (SHC) as stressful, heteronormative, potentially sexualised and "tailored for women". They also suggest that healthcare professionals (HCPs) working in SHC view masculinity as problematic, and situated in private relationships. This study aimed to explore how HCPs construct the gendered social location in SHC, specifically in terms of masculinity and a perception that masculinity is situated in relationships.

Developing a Theory of Norm-Criticism in Nursing Education.

In this article, we explore the core concepts of norm-critical pedagogy developed in Sweden and only recently applied to nursing education praxis. These concepts, norms, power , and othering , are defined and demonstrated with exemplars from recent nursing education research. The theoretical model illustrates the ways in which these elements articulate in relationship to each other in nursing education praxis in ways that are dynamic, interlocking-like the gears of a clock-and resistant to interruption.

Scandinavian Online Cancer Information as Expressions of Governmentality: A Comparative Qualitative Study.

We compared online distributed information provided to patients with cancer in Scandinavian countries through the lens of governmentality. A secondary comparative qualitative analysis was conducted. Discourses in online patient information showed differences in governmentality techniques across the countries: Norway used a paternalist approach, Denmark an educative approach, and Sweden an individualistic approach and expected the patients to make the "right" decisions.

Notions About Men and Masculinities Among Health Care Professionals Working With Men's Sexual Health: A Focus Group Study.

Health care professionals' (HCPs) notions about gender may influence the provision and quality of care. If care-seeking men are met by HCPs holding idealized and stereotypical notions of masculinity, this could reinforce barriers to adequate care. This study explored notions about men and masculinities among HCPs working with men's sexual health in Sweden.

Swedish managers' experience-based understanding of the Capacity to work in employees with Common Mental Disorders: a Focus Group Study.

Purpose: Understanding of the capacity to work among employees with common mental disorders (CMDs) is important, but contemporary knowledge on this issue lacks the managers' perspective. The aim of this study was to explore and describe managers' experience-based understanding of capacity to work in employees with CMD.

Methods: A qualitative focus group study was designed.

The reasonable patient - A Swedish discursive construction.

The aim of this study was to analyse how the patient is constructed and socially positioned in Swedish patient information. Corpus-assisted critical discourse analysis methodology was utilised on a sample of 56 online patient information texts about cancer containing a total of 126,711 words. The findings show an overarching discourse of informed consent guided by specific features to produce a patient norm that we name "the reasonable patient", who is receptive to arguments, emotionally restrained and makes decisions based on information.

From political correctness to reflexivity: A norm-critical perspective on nursing education.

Education is important in shaping professional identity, including how one approaches norms and normalisation. In the analysis presented in this study, nursing students' own constructions of norms and normality from the outlook of their education are highlighted and problematised. To deepen the understanding of these matters, the aim of this study was to explore constructions of norms and normality among students in nursing education.

Norm-Critical Potential in Undergraduate Nursing Education Curricula: A Document Analysis.

The documents and literature that regulate nursing education are based on certain values and knowledge, and the underlying power in the curriculum raises the question of how health care professionals are molded during the course of their education. Norm criticism is a concept with its roots in critical pedagogy and gender and queer studies, emphasizing the origins as well as the consequences of marginalization, power, and knowledge of what is generally accepted as "normal" and "true." Norm criticism is used in this article to analyze the documents and literature underlying a nursing program in Sweden, which are shown to include a sometimes politically correct rhetoric, but one lacking a firm basis in social justice values.

Discourses with potential to disrupt traditional nursing education: Nursing teachers' talk about norm-critical competence.

This paper describes the discourses underlying nursing teachers' talk about their own norm-critical competence. Norm criticism is an approach that promotes awareness and criticism of the norms and power structures that exert an excluding effect in society in general and in the healthcare encounter in particular. Given the unequal relationships that can exist in healthcare, for example relationships shaped by racism, sexism and classism, a norm-critical approach to nursing education would help illuminate these matters.

Regulating time commitments in healthcare organizations: managers' boundary approaches at work and in life.
