Cross-sectional data from a Swedish national representative school survey (2016) including 4741 adolescent…

A multifaceted risk analysis of fathers’ self‐reported physical violence toward their children
Existing research has shown that child maltreatment is carried out by both mothers and fathers. There is also an extensive body of literature analyzing reasons for mothers' violent behavior. Among fathers, reasons are less well studied, resulting in the lack of a comprehensive picture of paternal child abuse. In this study, 20 child-, parent-, and family-related factors have been included in a combined analysis to assess which of these may pose a…
An explorative interview study of men and women on sick leave with a musculoskeletal diagnosis seeking an acceptable life role
Introduction: A dramatic increase in sicknesses absence in Sweden has led to a shift in the public debate. Departing from the view of sickness absence as a result of a poor work environment and stress, the debate in the early 2000s became more concerned with the breakdown of norms and the abuse of sickness insurance. Sickness absence became the responsibility of the individual rather than of society. Aim: This study has sought to explore the cons…
Child maltreatment
Socio-economic risk factors for injuries in Swedish children and adolescents
Few studies have assessed if Sweden's injury prevention work has been equally effective for children of different socio-economic backgrounds. The goal of this paper is to review the country's injury rates for children over time, stratified by socio-economic status (SES), to see if the effects are similar across SES levels. This study employs a retrospective case-control study design, using data from the hospitalisation records of 51,225 children,…

Burden and consequences of child maltreatment in high-income countries
Long-Term Sickness Absence Due to Burnout
In the late 1990s, there was a marked increase in Sweden in long-term sickness absence with mental diagnoses. In the extensive research on burnout, little attention has been paid to the link with sickness absence. Our aim in this study was to discover what caused burnout, or such severe stress that it led to long-term sickness absence (> 28 days). We interviewed 32 individuals on long-term sickness absence with a diagnosis of burnout and used gro…
Law Reform, Corporal Punishment and Child Abuse
Over the past 70 years, Sweden has implemented a series of proactive legal reforms aimed at eliminating the corporal punishment of children in homes, schools and institutions. The most recent of these reforms took place in 1979 when Sweden became the first nation to explicitly abolish corporal punishment. The primary purposes of the ban were to recognize and affirm children's rights to security of the person and to inform the public and professio…

Population change and mortality in men and women
Editor,— Differences in mortality between areas have been found to be related to the socioeconomic conditions of the area.1 2 However, people also move to improve their physical and social environment, and the health status of the migrants differs considerably from that of the non-migrants.3Recently, Davey Smith and collegues4 found that mortality, measured 1991–92, was inversely related to the population growth in the two preceding decades in 29…
