Development, implementation and evaluation of an optimized cross-sectoral rehabilitation program after acute hip fracture surgery: A mixed-methods study.

Fall-related hip fracture (HF) is a frequent trauma in Scandinavia with a yearly incidence of 8,000 among ≥65-year-old citizens in Denmark. The rising incidence and global predictions are alarming since a HF is a major, and potentially fatal, trauma to the citizen, requiring acute surgery, a multimodal approach and post-operative crosssectoral rehabilitation. However, continuity of the rehabilitation program is frequently interrupted in the transition between sectors, compromising optimal recovery of frail citizens.

What a weight loss programme should contain if people with obesity were asked - a qualitative analysis within the DO:IT study.

Background: Currently 1.9 billion adults worldwide are estimated to be overweight or obese. In Denmark the municipalities hold the responsibility to deliver weight loss programmes to overweight and obese citizens.

Occupational therapists' competencies utilised in Danish job centres.

Background: Twenty-nine out of 94 Danish job centres employ occupational therapists (OTs) and numbers are increasing. Occupational therapy (OT) vocational rehabilitations are diverse, and a more specific description of OT practice within this field is lacking.

Aims: To explore how OTs employed at Danish job centres describe their own competencies and what they perceive that their colleagues from other professions request from them.

The motivation and opportunities for weight loss related to the everyday life of people with obesity: A qualitative analysis within the DO:IT study.

Background: Unsuccessful weight loss or weight loss maintenance is due to different barriers and physical limitations related to participation in everyday life. It will, therefore, be relevant to investigate the field from an occupational therapy perspective, since occupational therapists are uniquely trained in focussing on people's resources, meaningfulness and participation in everyday life.

Aim: The aim was to explore what motivates people to lose weight from an OT perspective and which opportunities people with obesity experience in their everyday lives to achieve and maintain lost weight.

Obesity treatment: a role for occupational therapists?

Background: Half of the Danish population is overweight or obese. Obesity can negatively impact health and daily life. The Danish National Board of Health´s guidelines for weight loss programmes to the Danish municipalities, recommends multidisciplinary teams, including occupational therapy, and interventions targeting diet, exercise, psychosocial coping, and everyday life.

Why people engage in a weight loss intervention at their workplace - a stratified case study.

Background: The prevalence of obesity has increased significantly worldwide within the last decade. As obesity is recognised as a contributing factor when developing various health threatening chronic diseases, prevention initiatives focusing on weight loss are becoming more important. Because of the time spent at the workplace, workplaces can be optimal arenas for weight loss programs and these programs have been effective to decrease body weight.

Attendance barriers experienced by female health care workers voluntarily participating in a multi-component health promotion programme at the workplace.

Background: Studies have shown that Workplace Health Promoting Programmes (WHPP) can facilitate healthier behaviour. Despite the benefits achieved from participating in a WHPP, a systematic review showed that only 10-50% of the employees participated and a challenge was lack of participation. Previous studies stress that understanding the barriers that prevent participants from attending WHPPs are important for designing highly effective interventions.

"What an eye-opener" - a qualitative study of vulnerable citizens participating in a municipality-based intervention.

Purpose: To explore how psychologically vulnerable citizens experienced performing their everyday-life activities, identify activities experienced as particularly challenging and evaluate the significance of the Acceptance and Commitment Theory-based (ACT)-based program, Well-being in Daily Life, had on the participants everyday-life activities.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight participants from the Well-being in Daily Life program. Data were analysed using Systematic Text Condensation.
