Prevalence of mental distress and factors associated with symptoms of major depression among people living with HIV in Norway
For people living with HIV (PLHIV) who can access lifesaving treatment, HIV has become a chronic lifelong condition; however, PLHIV have more mental and somatic comorbidities than their HIV-negative peers. In this cross-sectional study, we assessed the prevalence of mental distress and identified factors associated with major depression among 244 well-treated PLHIV residing in Norway. Participants completed validated questionnaires covering menta…
Prevalence and predictors of fatigue among people living with HIV in Norway

Two hundred and forty-four people were recruited from two hospitals to participate in a survey, which contained seven instruments used to investigate mental health, addiction, quality of life, and fatigue.

Do Childhood Boarding School Experiences Predict Health, Well-Being and Disability Pension in Adults? A Saminor Study
Indigenous Sámi and Kven minority children in Norway were during the 20th century placed at boarding schools to hasten their adoption of the Norwegian majority language and culture. This is the first population-based study examining health, well-being and disability pension rates among these children. Data stem from two epidemiological studies conducted in 2003/04 (SAMINOR 1) and 2012 (SAMINOR 2) by the Centre for Sami Health Research. The SAMINO…
Disordered eating in Sami and non-Sami Norwegian populations
Objective The present study aimed to investigate disordered eating (DE) among Sami compared with non-Sami residing in northern Norway. Design In a cross-sectional design, stratified by sex and ethnicity, associations were tested between DE (Eating Disturbance Scale; EDS-5) and age, education level, BMI category, anxiety and depression, physical activity and consumption of snacks. Setting The SAMINOR 2 Clinical Survey (2012–2014) based on the popu…
From a sense of failure to a proactive life orientation’
Employing a salutogenic perspective, we designed a qualitative study to explore experiences related to Norwegian students’ decision to leave school and their future life expectations. We identified a range of attitudes: pessimistic, discouraged participants found school to be equally lacking in care and support as their home background, whereas optimistic, proactive participants emphasized that supportive interactions with important others had ma…
Resilience to Discrimination Among Indigenous Sami and Non-Sami Populations in Norway
Discrimination is generally negative for mental health and well-being; however, few studies have examined protective effects of resilience factors, especially among minority indigenous people. Here, we validated a short version of the Resilience Scale for Adults (RSA) and examined its protective effects against discrimination among Norwegian indigenous Sami and non-Sami populations. Data come from a large population-based survey of health and liv…
Ethnic discrimination and psychological distress
The prevalence of psychological distress and its association with ethnic discrimination was examined among 13,703 participants (36 to 79 years of age) in a population-based study of health and living conditions in areas with indigenous Sami, Kven (descendants of Finnish immigrants), and Ethnic Norwegian populations (the SAMINOR study). Sami and Kven males reported greater levels of stress than Ethnic Norwegians. Ethnic discrimination was strongly…
Approach and Avoidance Coping and Regulatory Focus in Patients Having Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery
Coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is stressful, and the patient's coping affects recovery and outcome. The aim of the study was to identify patients' thoughts and concerns, and explore the relevance of approach/avoidant coping and Regulatory Focus Theory (RFT). Nine patients were interviewed, using an interpretative phenomenological approach. The patients made use of various avoidant (e.g. neglecting symptoms, delaying help-seeking, avo…
A Training Program in Group Analysis in the Baltic States
Representing the Institute of Group Analysis in Norway, the authors have for several years been engaged in group-analytic training of colleagues from the three Baltic countries (Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania). During the first six years, 63 candidates have entered the course, and 17 have completed five years of training. In 2003, the Lithuanian Group-Analytic Society took full responsibility for the program. This article evaluates the program and…
Treatment Satisfaction and Recovery in Saami and Norwegian Patients Following Psychiatric Hospital Treatment
Treatment, treatment satisfaction and recovery in Saami and Norwegian patients treated in a psychiatric hospital were compared. Although half of the Saami patients preferred to speak Saami with their therapists, only one patient did. The extensive use of traditional helpers was only partly recognized. Despite no differences in type and amount of treatment or symptom-change during the hospital stay, the Saami patients showed less satisfaction with…
Breast Cancer
The paper presents the structure and content of a manual for a proposed treatment of breast cancer patients in groups. The proposed treatment is structured, time limited, and integrates elements from 1995 work of Spiegel and the Yalom 1995 theory of group therapy as well as empirically derived resilience factors. Addressing the psychological specificity of breast cancer, the overall treatment goals are to help patients to acquire new coping skill…
Commentary on `Group-Analytic Training Conducted through a Language Interpreter
We read with great interest read about the experiences described in these papers, not least because the training took place the same year as 3 Norwegian group analysts started an Introductory course in Vilnius (Lithuania) for 31 participants from all Baltic states (Lorentzen et al., 1998, 2001; Sorlie et al. 2000; Maar et al., 2000). 1
