Three-phase development of the health capital questionnaire
Background Health capital is emerging as a widely used conceptual framework offering an integrative sociocultural, economic, and behavioral resource-based perspective on individual health practices related to disease management and illness prevention. However, the full realization of its potential as an explanatory and predictive framework is currently somewhat constrained by the lack of an instrument that renders health capital observable. Objec…
Negotiating protection and propriety
Background Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the most prevalent sexually transmitted infection globally and a major cause of cancers in both genders. Vaccination uptake among boys lags significantly behind girls, even in jurisdictions that recommend gender-neutral HPV vaccination for early adolescents. Aim This study investigates how taboos and social stigma shape maternal HPV vaccination decisions for boys. Materials and methods We employ a multi-me…
Drawing out What They Struggle to say
Projective techniques are qualitative methods that allow health researchers to elucidate and interpret patients’ values and experiences. However, these methods typically generate complex, at best semi-structured, and often metaphorical data that are challenging to analyse consistently at a scale. Recent advances in artificial intelligence, particularly in automated image segmentation and optical character recognition, offer new possibilities for …
The AI-extended professional self
AI technologies are rapidly advancing and have shown potential for providing significant value across a variety of sectors, including healthcare. Much of research has focused on the technologies’ capabilities and pushing their boundaries, with many envisioning AI and AI-enabled robots replacing human labor and humans in the near future. However, in critical domains of professional practice such as healthcare, full replacement is neither realistic…
Made for or Made by? A Qualitative Investigation into the Diverse Practices and Roles of Medical Congress Participants
Medical congresses play a pivotal role in the continuing medical education of healthcare professionals (HCPs), particularly in light of the rapid advancements in medical knowledge and technology. Notwithstanding, little is known about the internal dynamics of such events and how they contribute to the learning processes in communities of health professional practice. This study aims to uncover and elucidate what motivates HCPs to participate in m…
‘It's not for the children's sake’
Recently, the Danish Health Authority began recommending vaccinating children aged 2-6 years against seasonal influenza, underscoring the pivotal role of children in its transmission dynamics within the wider population and the need to protect vulnerable population groups after COVID-19. Under a third followed the recommendation. For the routine Danish childhood vaccine program coverage is usually well above 90%. Through a qualitative in-depth st…
Can ethics be assembled? Consumer ethics in the age of artificial intelligence and smart objects
AI-enabled smart objects have rapidly become everyday commodities and do not only change the ways in which we consume but also the ethics that guide our consumption. Emerging sociomaterial perspectives viewing consumers and smart objects as assemblages have been employed to study relational aspects of consumption, as well as consumer experience in the digital reality. This article argues that consumer ethics could and should be viewed as emergent…
Interrogating the pill
Since its introduction in 1960, the combined oral contraceptive pill has become the dominant reversible contraceptive technology for controlling female fertility in spite of early and ongoing ethical, critical medical, and societal disapproval. Over the last decade, prescription rates among young women in Western Europe have declined alongside the rise of social media use. This article investigates the mechanisms underlying this change in contrac…
Covid-19 Vaccine Hesitancy in Denmark and Russia
Vaccination of the world population is being embraced by 184 countries as the main strategy to end the COVID-19 pandemic; vaccination rates are stalling even in countries with high vaccine availability, though. This article investigates the phenomenon of vaccine hesitancy in two such countries, the Kingdom of Denmark and the Russian Federation, through a qualitative study of the different types of hesitancy to COVID-19 vaccination programs and th…
Anxiety and trust in times of health crisis
In this article, we investigate how parents of children in primary school navigated risks in the context of COVID-19 mitigation policies during the early stages of the COVID-19 pandemic. In Denmark, this group found itself at the front line of the reopening after an early lockdown, as primary schools were among the first institutions to reopen. This situation was discussed by the parents amid much controversy, which prompted us to investigate the…
Patientologien nyfortolket
Patientology traditionally signifies the scientific study of the patients through medical sociological and anthropological perspectives. The last decades have witnessed notable changes in the understanding of what it means to be a patient and what role patients play in healthcare processes, with the rise of concepts such as patient-centered care, patient empowerment, and patient participation. This article develops a reconceptualization of patien…
The Potential of AI in Care Optimization
Transitions from one level of care to another are complex processes that pose medical and organizational risks and depend on care integration between different providers. This qualitative study investigated user experiences with an existing digital system for care integration between hospitals and nursing homes, and the potential of artificial intelligence to contribute to its optimization. The findings reveal challenges regarding (a) untimely in…
Detached co-involvement in interactional care
This article explores how the integration of digital technology into healthcare processes of social psychiatry impacts the healthcare professional-patient relation. To this end, it adopts a new materialist perspective, viewing the context of social psychiatry as an assemblage of human and technological components and their relations. We draw on a qualitative study of the introduction of an mHealth platform including shared calendars, messaging, a…
Do you care or do I have a choice? Expert authority and consumer autonomy in medicine consumption
Consumer research has posited an ambivalent role of choice in consumer empowerment, from liberating and including to disciplining and totalising. This article provides empirical evidence for this ambivalence and nuances how consumers navigate the liminal space between expert authority and consumer autonomy.We investigate the role of choice in consumer empowerment through an ethnographic study of medicine consumption practices in acute non-life-th…
Health capital
Emerging perspectives of health as individualized and privatized capital seem promising to shed light on the construction of individual health in the face of the growing individualization of healthcare. This article reviews extant perspectives of health as capital, reflecting upon how a conceptualization of health capital might be conceived by two of the main contrasting traditions: human capital theory affiliated with the Chicago School of Econo…
Putting patients into the centre
Patient empowerment is a key topic in public health, medical sociology and in public debates on the modernisation of healthcare. This article joins the on-going discussion on public and patient involvement by offering a patient-centred perspective on patient empowerment outside the usual institutionalised context of chronic disease management. We present results from a qualitative study on individuals' practices of dealing with acute non-life-thr…
