Psychosocial challenges of Ukrainian healthcare professionals in wartime
Despite the harrowing conditions of the war in Ukraine, HPs show extraordinary commitment to their profession and experience high levels of job satisfaction. However, there is an unmet need for increased moral and emotional support from medical leaders and financial assistance to counter the increase in cost of living, as these are the most pressing issues for HPs. Overall, these results suggest that the role of the management in addressing these…
What characterizes a well‐functioning person? Perspectives from Scandinavian laypeople and mental health professionals
Functioning describes how well a person handles life, but the constituents of functioning and its measurement remain subjects of debate among researchers. However, approaches investigating how the concept of functioning is understood among laypeople and practitioners have received less attention. The present study uses a bottom‐up approach to explore the concept of functioning among laypeople and mental health professionals in a Scandinavian cont…
Are Sensory Experiences of One’s Deceased Spouse Associated with Bereavement-Related Distress
Following late-life spousal bereavement, sensory and quasi-sensory experiences of the deceased (SED) are commonly reported. This longitudinal study examined SED among 310 older widowed adults 6-10 (T1) and 18-20 (T2) months post loss. Reports of SED in the first 6-10 months after loss were associated with higher symptom levels of prolonged grief, post-traumatic stress, and loneliness at T1. Experiencers of SED were more likely to experience sympt…
Prevalence and Phenomenology of Sensory Experiences of a Deceased Spouse
Sensory and quasi-sensory experiences of the deceased (SED), also called bereavement hallucinations, are common in bereavement, but research detailing these experiences is limited. Methods: An in-depth survey of SED was developed based on existing research, and 310 older adults from the general Danish population participated in the study 6-10 months after their spouse died. Results: SED were reported by 42% of the participants with wide-ranging p…
Conventional Rehabilitation Therapy Versus Telerehabilitation in Cardiac Patients
Telerehabilitation (TR) has gained attention as a promising rehabilitation format. Our study examined how patients responded to TR and whether it provided adequate support for their lifestyle changes and self-care efforts when compared to conventional rehabilitation (CR). Cardiac patients ( n = 136) were randomly assigned to a TR or CR group. The TR group was provided with relevant health care technology for a period of three months, and both gro…
Bereavement hallucinations after the loss of a spouse
Bereavement hallucinations (BHs) were assessed in 175 conjugally bereaved participants 4 years post loss, to explore whether BHs were: (a) associated with psychological distress and (b) predicted by sociodemographic variables, personality and/or coping style. Participants with BHs scored significantly higher than those without BHs on prolonged grief, post-traumatic stress, depression symptoms, and emotional loneliness. Hierarchical logistic regre…

A randomized controlled trial of the effect of a brief cognitive‐behavioral intervention on dental fear
This indicates that a brief cognitive-behavioral intervention may be efficacious in helping a significant number of patients with dental fear return to regular dental treatment. Future research should investigate the applicability of a brief cognitive-behavioral intervention in the dental clinic
Individualized telerehabilitation for heart patients across municipalities, hospitals and medical disciplines
Introduction: The rehabilitation offered to cardiac patients and patients who have had surgery in Denmark is inadequate. Only 3% of the more than 86,000 Danes hospitalized every year with cardiovascular disorders participate in rehabilitation activities. The same low level of participation in cardiac rehabilitation is found in Europe and in the U.S. Review of the literature show that the low participation is caused by long transportation time to …
Posttraumatic Stress Disorder in the Wake of Heart Disease
Background: There is increasing recognition that patients after a cardiac event may be at risk of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The present article reviews studies looking at PTSD as a sequel of heart disease with a focus on prevalence, risk factors, and future research directions. Methods: We conducted a search on PsychInfo and MEDLINE from 1980 to the present. Studies were included in the review if they looked at PTSD after a cardiac ev…
