Symptom burden in middle-aged women, the role of immigrant status
Subjective health complaints (SHCs) are symptoms from various organs that do not have an obvious explanation. Immigrants in Western countries are often exposed to multiple stressors that may trigger SHCs. Increased symptom load may reflect subjective health and functioning in the present and in the future. We, therefore, aimed to identify symptom load and distribution of subjective health complaints among middle-aged women by immigrant status. Th…
Acting by persuasion— values and rhetoric in medical certificates of work incapacity
When the patient applies for disability benefit in Norway, the general practitioner (GP) is required by the National Insurance Administration (NAV) to confirm that the patient is unfit for work due to disease. Considering the important social role of medical certificates, they have been given surprisingly little attention by the medical critique. They may make essential differences to peoples' lives, legitimise large social costs and, in addition…
Writing the patient down and out
We analysed a set of medical certificates to investigate howGPs portray patients who seek disability benefits in Norway, focusing on patient centredness, agency and involvement. We performed a qualitative linguistic analysis of 33 medical certificates collected throughout Norway that were strategically selected based on the patients' sex, age and diagnosis. We found that patients were represented as passive carriers of symptoms, in whom agency wa…
Symptom load and functional status
The strong association between the number of symptoms and functional status, irrespective of type of symptom, might indicate that the symptoms share some common characteristics. The simple act of counting symptoms may provide an approach to study the relationships between health and function in population studies and might be valuable in research on medically unexplained conditions
Functional ability in a population
This study presents population based normative data on functional ability, as measured by the NFAS. These data will serve as basis for the development of national population norms and are necessary for score interpretation. Data quality and test-retest reliability of the NFAS were acceptable
