    Open AccessAnette Agardh, Gisela Priebe et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2022

  • Experiences of teaching sexual and reproductive health to students with intellectual disabilities

    Open AccessBecky Nelson, Karen Odberg Pettersson et al.ARTICLESex Education2020

    There is growing awareness and international commitment to improving sexual and reproductive health for persons with intellectual disabilities.

This qualitative phenomenological study uses data from 10 interviews to describe what it means to teach sexual and reproductive health and rights to students with…

  • Constructing social identity through multiple “us and them”

    Open AccessNatalia Vincens, Martin Stafström et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal for Equity…2020

    The association between contextual factors and health inequalities is well documented, also in Brazil. However, questions about how contextual factors actually affect health and well-being persist. The aim of this qualitative study was to explore how contextual factors-i.e., social stratification and neighborhood opportunity structures-are manifested in the lives of the residents of a vulnerable district in Brazil. We used a Constructivist Ground…

  • Diverting blame to stay sane - young people’s strategies for dealing with the mental health effects of precarious employment

    Open AccessSusanna Toivanen, Anna Olofsson Tarantino et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2020

    The results implied a process where the challenges created by loss of employment-based rights required a coping process where the individual's social capital plays an important role. However, social capital is to a large extent determined by contextual factors, underlining the strong health equity aspect of precarious employment

  • Socioeconomic development initiatives and women’s experiences of marital violence in rural Bangladesh

    Open AccessRabiul Karim, Maria Emmelin et al.ARTICLEInternational Social Work2020Citada por: 1Referencias: 2

    Socioeconomic development initiatives (SDIs) have become a controversial issue. In giving skill trainings and credit supports, practitioners assume that SDI participation will enhance women’s income/dignity. Some studies have indicated that SDIs reduce women’s exposure to marital violence (MV), while others have shown that they increase spousal conflicts/MV. Our study explains how SDI participation may influence women’s marital life. This explora…

  • Possibilities for maintaining a strong self – a grounded theory study of relational experiences among Thai women in Sweden

    Open AccessCecilia Fernbrant, Anette Agardh et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2017

    BACKGROUND: Due to increasing globalization and Internet communication, the number of international marriages has increased. In Sweden, 75% of the Thai population are women, among whom 80% are partnered with Swedish or other Scandinavian men. Previous studies have indicated that lack of autonomy, social isolation, and stigma are important risk factors for poor mental health for foreign-born women as well as for women in international marriages. O…

Somali ownership is key to the sustainability…

  • Findings from a prospective cohort study evaluating the effects of International Health Advisors’ work on recently settled migrants’ health

    Open AccessSusanne Sundell Lecerof, Martin Stafström et al.ARTICLEBMC Public Health2017

    Health information provided by the IHA increased self-reported level of knowledge on healthy diet and physical exercise. The interpretation of the observed negative association between low social participation and deteriorated or unchanged health needs is that participation was limited to one's own social group, and therefore had limited positive influence on health seeking behaviour. The lack of measurable improvements in health status could be …

  • Reconceptualizing prosperity

  • Precarious employment is a risk factor for poor mental health in young individuals in Sweden

  • Gauging the interests of birth mother and child

    Open AccessAnna Arvidsson, Sara Johnsdotter et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social Work2016Citada por: 2Referencias: 9

    There are few studies on how social workers deal with cases regarding transnational surrogacy. Our study intends to contribute to filling this gap. In Sweden, surrogacy as an assisted reproductive technology method is not permitted. As a result, many prospective parents have turned abroad, mainly to India, for surrogacy. There are no laws regulating surrogacy in Sweden, and difficulties have arisen in establishing legal parenthood when the parent…

  • Orphanhood and mistreatment drive children to leave home – A study from early Aids-affected Kagera region, Tanzania

    Open AccessJeanette Olsson, Staffan Höjer et al.ARTICLEInternational Social Work2016Citada por: 1Referencias: 1

    The aim of this mixed-method study was to explore the trajectories of leaving home, and views and experiences among children and youth in the Kagera region in Tanzania, who have lived on the streets or been domestic workers. The main results showed that orphanhood and mistreatment were the main reasons for leaving home: few children lived with their parents before they left, and leaving home was a complex process over several years where three tr…

  • Learning the ABCs of pregnancy and newborn care through mobile technology

    Open AccessAngela Afua Entsieh, Maria Emmelin et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2015

Mobile Midwife, a mobile application implemented in Ghana in 2010, sends timely messages in local languages to registered expectant mothers and new parents.

  • ‘Elastic band strategy’

    Open AccessElli Nur Hayati, Malin Eriksson et al.ARTICLEGlobal Health Action2013

    BACKGROUND: Experiencing domestic violence is considered a chronic and stressful life event. A theoretical framework of coping strategies can be used to understand how women deal with domestic violence. Traditional values strongly influenced by religious teachings that interpret men as the leaders of women play an important role in the lives of Javanese women, where women are obliged to obey their husbands. Little is known about how sociocultural…

  • Water Development Projects and Marital Violence

    Rabiul Karim, K M Rabiul Karim et al.ARTICLEHealth Care For Women International2012

    In this study, we explored the implications of a groundwater development project on women's workload and their experience of marital violence in a Bangladesh village. We believe that the project facilitated irrigation water but also that it resulted in seasonal domestic water shortages. Men used deep motorized pumps for irrigation, and women used shallow handpumps for domestic purposes. Many handpumps dried out, so women had to walk to distant we…

Little is known of how the community view obstructed labour, and what actions they take in cases where this complication occurs. OBJECTIVE: The objective of the study was to explore community members' understanding of and actions taken in cases of o…
