Commercial ultrasounds
Prenatal ultrasounds have become a routine component of pregnancy care and a significant social milestone for expectant parents. Although originally developed for medical diagnostics, these technologies also carry important social and emotional connotations. This study examines the growing phenomenon of commercial prenatal ultrasounds in Finland, focusing on how these services blur traditional boundaries in maternity care. The research draws on d…
Frames of Peer Support
Prostate cancer significantly impacts the lives of those diagnosed, causing emotional and psychological distress, including fear, uncertainty, and anxiety. While formal peer support has been suggested as a beneficial way for men to share their experiences, little is known about the perspectives of those who choose not to participate in such activities. This study aims to explore how those men with prostate cancer who have not engaged in formal pe…
The appeal of alternative diets – stories of carbohydrate-conscious eaters regarding motives, credibility of dietary advice and the authority of experiences
Low-carbohydrate diets promote the idea that reducing carbohydrate intake is a key to a healthier life and more natural way to eat. The proponents of these diets form food communities, which share common ideas about food, put forward their own ‘alternative’ expertise and challenge mainstream dietary advice. This study focuses on the perspectives of self-identified followers of low-carbohydrate diets. We explore their rationales for choosing the d…
Representing the ‘Voice’ of Patients
The growing prominence of patient and public involvement in health services has led to the increased use of experiential knowledge alongside medical and professional knowledge bases. Third sector organisations, which position themselves as representatives of collective patient groups, have established channels to communicate experiential knowledge to health services. However, organisations may interpret and communicate experiential knowledge in d…
Expertise, advocacy and activism
Peer support workers are now working with patients in a variety of settings, coming into close contact and even work alongside health professionals. Despite the potentially influential position peer support workers hold in relation to those engaged in support activities, their role, duties and their relationship to peers and health professionals lack clarity and is often defined by other actors. This study explores how peer support workers interp…
Alignments and differentiations
Health policies and strategies promote the involvement of people with illness experiences in service development and production, integrating them into settings that have traditionally been domains of health professionals. In this study, we focus on the perspectives of people with personal illness experiences and explore how they justify involvement, position themselves as legitimate actors and forge collaborative relationships with health profess…
Personal perspectives on patient and public involvement - stories about becoming and being an expert by experience
Patient and public involvement activities bring 'lay participants' and their accounts of lived experiences to the centre of health service development and delivery. For individuals, these accounts can provide an important resource, offering a sense of control and an opportunity to re-frame past events. Furthermore, as involvement activities and the use of personal accounts have become more prominent, it is timely to examine the involvement proces…
The citizen is stepping into a new role”—Policy interpretations of patient and public involvement in Finland
Involving patients and the public in healthcare decision-making is on the policy agenda in several countries. The aim of our study was to describe and analyse the development of patient and public involvement from a policy perspective. We argue that the language of health policies can influence both the aims and the development of involvement methods. In this study health policy documents, which have guided the development of patient and public i…
