Changing from disease-centred to person-centred - Swedish dental hygienists' views on a theory-based behavioural intervention for improved oral hygiene among adolescents.

Objectives: To explore dental hygienists' (DHs') views on (i) a person-centred, theory-based, behavioural intervention for improving oral hygiene among adolescents and (ii) professional and organizational factors to consider in the implementation of such an intervention in daily dental practice.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 13 DHs who had applied the person-centred, theory-based, behavioural intervention directed at adolescents with poor oral hygiene in a field study within the Public Dental Service, Region Västra Götaland, Sweden. The interviews were audio-taped, transcribed verbatim and analysed using qualitative content analysis.

Adolescents' experiences of a theory-based behavioural intervention for improved oral hygiene: A qualitative interview study.

Objectives: Adequate oral hygiene, that is self-performed infection control, is crucial to prevent periodontal disease. Epidemiological studies reveal poor oral hygiene conditions among Swedish adolescents and indicate a need for more effective prevention programs. The aim of the current study was to analyse adolescents' experiences of a person-centred, theory-based, oral health education program for improved oral hygiene.

Patient contributions during primary care consultations for hypertension after self-reporting via a mobile phone self-management support system.

Objective: This paper reports on how the clinical consultation in primary care is performed under the new premises of patients' daily self-reporting and self-generation of data. The aim was to explore and describe the structure, topic initiation and patients' contributions in follow-up consultations after eight weeks of self-reporting through a mobile phone-based hypertension self-management support system.

Design: A qualitative, explorative study design was used, examining 20 audio- (n = 10) and video-recorded (n = 10) follow-up consultations in primary care hypertension management, through interaction analysis.

Co-designing technologies in the context of hypertension care: Negotiating participation and technology use in design meetings.

Unlabelled: Research Interest: In this article, we take an interest in the new kind of relation that has been claimed to be urgently required between health services and patients. Co-production of health services implies fundamental changes in the ways medical care is organized and delivered. Usually, technologies are put forth as potential solutions to problems that might occur when establishing such new relations.

Phases in development of an interactive mobile phone-based system to support self-management of hypertension.

Hypertension is a significant risk factor for heart disease and stroke worldwide. Effective treatment regimens exist; however, treatment adherence rates are poor (30%-50%). Improving self-management may be a way to increase adherence to treatment.
