Coming together enabled adaptive capacity in responding to the Whakaari /White Island eruption
Different systems, same challenges
BACKGROUND: Welfare states face multiple challenges in the sustainable organization of their long-term care (LTC) systems due to aging populations and structural workforce shortages. In this context, the need emerges to facilitate cross-country exchange of policy responses to strengthen LTC resilience. OBJECTIVES: In this paper, we provide comparative insight into the LTC systems of Norway, Finland, the Netherlands, Romania, Spain, Italy, and Aus…
Twenty‐One Years and Still Going Strong
BACKGROUND: Adolescence is a period of rapid transformation when meeting targets for optimal diabetes care is often challenging due to competing life demands. For more than two decades a diabetes transition clinic in Sydney, Australia, has sustained positive outcomes and demonstrated aspects of resilience in the care of individuals living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) who have transitioned from paediatric to adult care. Many studies have focused on …
Caring peripheries
The centralisation of acute health care is a key policy concern in many countries. Less attention has been given to the side effects of centralisation: peripheralisation, occurring mainly in rural areas and post-industrial towns. In this research, we start filling this gap by exploring how this trend of concentration of health care can contribute to a phenomenon referred to as 'discursive peripheralisation'. This article contributes to the litera…
Issues and complexities in safety culture assessment in healthcare
The concept of safety culture in healthcare—a culture that enables staff and patients to be free from harm—is characterized by complexity, multifacetedness, and indefinability. Over the years, disparate and unclear definitions have resulted in a proliferation of measurement tools, with lack of consensus on how safety culture can be best measured and improved. A growing challenge is also achieving sufficient response rates, due to “survey fatigue,…
Naming the “baby” or the “beast”? The importance of concepts and labels in healthcare safety investigation
This paper focuses on concepts and labels used in investigation of adverse events in healthcare. The aim is to prompt critical reflection of how different stakeholders frame investigative activity in healthcare and to discuss the implications of the labels we use. We particularly draw attention to issues of investigative content, legal aspects, as well as possible barriers and facilitators to willingly participate, share knowledge, and achieve sy…
Making tacit knowledge explicit through objects
Introduction: It is common practice to use objects to bridge disciplines and develop shared understanding across knowledge boundaries. Objects for knowledge mediation provide a point of reference which allows for the translation of abstract concepts into more externalized representations. This study reports from an intervention that introduced an unfamiliar resilience perspective in healthcare, through the use of a resilience in healthcare (RiH) …
Creativity at the margins
BACKGROUND: Peripheral areas are often overlooked in health-care research but they in fact deserve specific attention. Such areas struggle to maintain access to good quality health-care services due to their geographical context. At the same time, new interventions or promising innovations often emerge in places where creativity is urgently needed. In this paper, we explore this creativity at the margins in older persons care organizations in per…
Exploring Health Experts' and Creative Communicators' Focus in Pandemic Video Communication
Pandemic video communication aimed at the general public often lacks creativity and fails to reach large audiences. Yet, the scientific content should not be compromised by attempts to improve the creativity or reach. This study explores the processes utilised by various health experts and professional communicators when creating communication, to identify similarities and differences, and how pandemic video communication thus can be improved thr…
Differences in comprehending and acting on pandemic health risk information
There is no one-size-fits-all approach to public health risk communication. Empowering people with decision-relevant information necessitates targeted and balanced risk communication
Shortcomings in Public Health Authorities’ Videos on Covid-19
Video communication has played a key role in relaying important and complex information on the COVID-19 pandemic to the general public. The aim of the present study is to compare Norwegian health authorities’ and WHO’s use of video communication during the COVID-19 pandemic to the most viewed COVID-19 videos on YouTube, in order to identify how videos created by health authorities measure up to contemporary video content, both creatively and in r…
Health authorities’ health risk communication with the public during pandemics
Experimental studies that investigate the effect of health authorities' videos and messages on social media platforms and self-protective behaviour are needed. More studies are needed across the fields of health risk communication and media studies, including visual communication, web design, video and digital marketing, at a time when online digital communication is central to reaching the public
Patient safety in the interface between hospital and risk regulator1
The paper explores how regulatory practice affects procedures and routines regarding patient safety in hospitals. The paper is based on a multi‐level case study within the Norwegian healthcare system. In this paper we investigate methods of operations between the risk regulator and the regulatee by emphasizing systematic and incidental activities performed in the interface; and by assessing the regulators' underlying models of understanding error…
