Key stakeholders’ articulations of quality in home care which include medication-dispensing robots – Balancing quality matters in policy and practice
Care robots are described as a solution to quality issues in home care services. Since several stakeholders are involved in home care with robots, it is important to make different perspectives on quality visible. On the basis of the above premises, the aim of this study is twofold. First, we identify and compare perspectives on quality that are articulated when local policy, care professionals, and older people describe medication-dispensing rob…
Gender Differences in Service Provision for Victims of Interpersonal Violence
Research suggests that male victims of interpersonal violence (IPV) experience differential treatment when seeking help from service providers. However, little research has explicitly investigated gender differences in actual service provision. The present study investigated whether there are gender differences in the number and type of services provided to IPV victims by the social services (research question 1), as well as if these gender diffe…
Disembodied care
The increasing size of the elderly population has been described as a major challenge for Western eldercare. In light of such demographic changes, welfare technology has been presented as a solution. It has been claimed, in both international and Swedish government policy, that digital technologies can improve how care is given and received. However, there is limited knowledge about what happens to articulations of care when national goals filter…
How a practice-based approach can contribute to research about help and support for male victims of rape
While there has been an upsurge of research about human services for male victims of rape, methodological advances are still limited, and significant knowledge gaps remain. Until now, empirical studies have focused almost entirely on human service professionals' gendered attitudes to try to explain outcomes and victims' experiences of support. In this article, I argue that research approaches that are based on professionals' attitudes fail to acc…
The affective atmosphere of rural life and digital healthcare
The implementation of digital healthcare technologies—eHealth—is presented as a solution to increasing costs, demographic changes, and quality issues in rural healthcare. Employing the concept of affective atmospheres, this article uses interviews to explore the emotional aspects of digital healthcare among rural persons of advanced age. Our results suggest that participants were clearly influenced by an affective atmosphere that was deeply embed…
Sustainable Behavior Change for Health Supported by Person-Tailored, Adaptive, Risk-Aware Digital Coaching in a Social Context
Introduction: The Västerbotten Intervention Programme (VIP) in the Region Västerbotten Sweden is one of the very few cardiovascular disease (CVD) prevention programmes globally that is integrated into routine primary health care. The VIP has been shown as a cost-effective intervention to significantly reduce CVD mortality. However, little is known about the effectiveness of a digital solution to tailor risk communication strategies for supporting…
Older service users’ experiences of learning to use eHealth applications in sparsely populated healthcare settings in Northern Sweden and Finland
This research seeks to better understand how older people living in sparsely populated areas learn and then use eHealth applications in their everyday lives. The study was conducted in northern Sweden and Lapland in northern Finland, the most sparsely populated areas in these countries. The study focused on the use of following eHealth services: a medication-dispensing service, a virtual health room and a self-monitoring system. Research data wer…
Within the hour" and "wherever you are
The use of healthcare apps for medical advice is becoming increasingly common. This paper explores apps that offer interaction with medical experts. Working from the supposition that digital technologies are intimately entangled in their cultural context, we argue that the apps do more than just neutrally mediate contacts and offer medical and psychological advice. The article addresses the cultural dimensions of healthcare apps and answers quest…
Positioning the ageing subject
What happens when similar measures are being introduced in different national contexts? This article studies the ways in which patient choice has been articulated in public and official reports on health care in the two contexts of Sweden and the UK, whose welfare systems are typically comprehended as different. Specific interest is directed towards the construction of patient positions, and policy documents are analyzed using discourse theory. T…

Throughout the last 30–40 years, New Public Management (NPM) has come to dominate public administration. The aim of this article is to explore NPM-inspired practices in rape care and analyse how care milieus’ specific responsibilities for economy and results – to own responsibility – effects care and care personnel. That way I want to argue that economy and administration needs to be further acknowledged in ethnological research. In the article i…
