Navigating Complexity
Through discourse analysis of focus groups, this study investigates how palliative care professionals in Sweden engage with “spiritual care,” “religion” and “spirituality.” Our results reveal a common assumption that religion is “visible,” but at the same time private. Furthermore, we observed a secular and nonreligious positioning, marked by frequent "us versus them" rhetoric, especially in discussions about truth telling. The findings illustrat…
“Vulnerable and strong at the same time”
Unaccompanied girls undergoing forced migration are exposed to multiple risk factors affecting their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). Yet, little is known of their perceived SRHR needs. Thus, the aim of this study was to illuminate the lived experiences of SRHR needs of unaccompanied girls seeking asylum in Sweden, and capture how experienced needs are affected by the social contexts navigated pre, during, and post-migration. A q…
Balancing hope at the end of life organisational conditions for spiritual care in palliative homecare in Sweden
The aim of this article is to examine how norms and values related to culture, religion, and spirituality were experienced and expressed by healthcare professionals caring for patients at the end of life in Advanced Care at Home (ACH) in Sweden, with a focus on how organisational aspects enabled or hindered spiritual care. Founded on participant observation with physicians and exploratory short-term fieldwork conducted between June and December 2…
A Living Intervention
This article draws on a long-term, team-driven project in a Swedish hospital ward to provide an ethnographic description how anthropology can be used in practice to support healthcare providers in their everyday work.I argue that ethnographic research, by affording participants in the ward an outsider's view of their workplace and routines, can facilitate healthcare providers' own process of reflection, communication, and the development of solut…
The Development of Ethnographic Drama to Support Healthcare Professionals
A bstract This article describes the development of ethnographic drama in an action research project involving healthcare professionals in a Swedish medical ward. Ethnographic drama is the result of collaboration between anthropology and drama. As a method, it is suited to illuminating, addressing and studying professional relationships and organisational cultures. It can help healthcare professionals cope with inter-professional conflicts, which…
Occupational perspective of health among persons ageing in the context of migration
In the context of migration, ageing is described as a negative stressor for subjective perceptions of health in everyday life. Most research has adopted a biomedical perspective. An occupational perspective of health was the starting point for this study. The aim was to explore how older persons from Finland who are ageing in Sweden experienced health from an occupational perspective. Qualitative interviews were conducted with 16 persons who had …
Embraced by the past, hopeful for the future
Previous research has often visualised ageing and migration as risk factors for poor health, pointing to a need for targeting health-promoting efforts towards ageing persons who are born abroad. However, most research has been conducted from an objective and poor health perspective, losing the broader picture of health in the context of ageing and migration. A key issue left unexplored is the meaning of health from a subjective perspective with f…
Health-promotion in the context of ageing and migration
The results point at the need for focusing on each person's experiences and health expectations, and the study provides a foundation for future research on the integration of whole-system and person-centred practice
Transcultural Encounters in a Medical Ward in Sweden
The aim of this study was to explore the approach adopted by health care practitioners when handling transcultural encounters. The study was performed by means of action research, a reflective process led by practitioners and researchers working together to improve practice and solve problems. Data were collected through participant observations at a coronary unit in Sweden and group discussions with the health care professionals and were analyze…
Everyday practices at the medical ward
Modern hospital care should ostensibly be multi-professional and person-centred, yet it still seems to be driven primarily by a hegemonic, positivistic, biomedical agenda. This study aimed to describe the everyday practices of professionals and patients in a coronary care unit, and analyse how the routines, structures and physical design of the care environment influenced their actions and relationships. Ethnographic fieldwork was conducted over …
