Stuck in a neither/nor. The impact of over-indebtedness on young people’s entry into adulthood
Based on in-depth interviews with young people experiencing over-indebtedness in Sweden, the paper illustrates the social consequences of over-indebtedness among young adults, particularly in terms of how debt problems affect the entry into adulthood. Combining theories of the indebted subject, social exclusion, emerging adulthood and liminality, the analysis shows that over-indebted young subjects experience several crucial processes of exclusio…
Rhythms of debt: Lived temporalities of over-indebted young adults in Sweden
This paper investigates the relationship between debt, time and power by studying over-indebted young adults’ lived experiences of temporality. Empirically, the paper is based on recurrent interviews with 18 over-indebted young adults (aged 18–25) in Sweden and is analytically centred on three phases of indebtedness: entering the credit market, becoming over-indebted, and being over-indebted. The central argument of the paper is that everyday lif…
The ‘service turn’ in a new public management context: A street-level bureaucrat perspective
It is increasingly argued that public management should build on a service logic instead of the prevailing manufacturing logic of New Public Management (NPM). Drawing from three cases in Swedish public healthcare, key features of a service logic such as value creation, co-production, and collaboration are prominent in formal documents and everyday talk. However, the 67 interviews in this study reveal that the service logic ideal is practically un…
Associations of Meaning of Home and Housing-Related Control Beliefs with Changes in Symptoms and Quality of Life: A Prospective Study Among Younger-Old Adults in Sweden
Feeling in control of one’s environment and perceiving one’s home as meaningful have been found to be associated with health and well-being among older adults. As longitudinal studies of younger-old adults are lacking, this study aimed to investigate whether this association exists over time among older adults around retirement age. Longitudinal data from a random cohort of community-dwelling older adults, ages 65–76 years (N = 329), was collecte…
A Market of Lived Experience—User Involvement and the Commodification of Personal Experiences of Mental Illness
Working actively to engage service users in participatory practices is both a policy expectation and a moral imperative for mental health social workers in contemporary Western mental health care. Recent research suggests that such practices of service user involvement are becoming increasingly individualised and driven by market logic. Based on an ethnographic study within a Swedish public psychiatric organisation, this article applies the conce…
Barriers and enablers of coordination across healthcare system levels
Coordination across healthcare system levels is a global imperative to ensure efficient resource utilization and provide high‐quality care. The substantial body of research on coordination in healthcare mainly concerns coordination across professional and organizational domains. Consequently, there is a dearth of empirical research aimed at delineating the determinants of coordination across healthcare system levels. This paper describes and anal…
Opening the black box of participatory planning: A study of how planners handle citizens’ input
Citizen dialogues and other participatory practices are basically the norm in contemporary spatial planning. Nonetheless, what happens to citizen input after it has been collected – how it is handled and utilized by planners in the continuation of the planning process – has been described as a ‘black box’, where most stakeholders lack insight. The aim of this explorative study is to open this black box and examine how citizen input is handled by …
Perceived Housing in Relation to Retirement and Relocation: A Qualitative Interview Study among Older Adults
As people age the home environment becomes increasingly important. Retirement commonly leads to spending more time in one's home, and relocating from your own home in older age could be associated with reduced health or wellbeing. The relationship between home and person is complex and perceived aspects of one's housing such as social, emotional and cognitive ties are considered important factors for health and wellbeing. However, little is known…
Public management in turbulent times: Covid‐19 as an ecosystem disruptor
The decentralisation of Swedish healthcare closer to citizens has been slow. Drawing from empirical material of the reform prior and amidst the COVID‐19 pandemic, this paper argues that the pandemic has disrupted the healthcare ecosystem. Consequently, citizen‐centred collaborations have accelerated integration of resources (such as knowledge and skills) across organisational, hierarchical and professional borders. However, collaborations have be…

Participation in a Swedish cervical cancer screening program among women with psychiatric diagnoses: A population-based cohort study
Women with less-severe psychiatric diagnoses participate in the screening program to the same extent as women overall. Women who have received psychiatric specialist care participate to a lesser extent than women overall. The lowest participation rates were found among women diagnosed with psychoses
Egna Erfarenhetens Marknad: Om brukarinflytandearbete och kommodifieringen av individers erfarenhet av psykisk ohälsa
Recent research on user involvement in welfare services suggests that involvement practices are increasingly individualized and driven by market logics. This article is based on an ethnographic study within a public psychiatry organization, applying the concept of commodification to examine this trend in contemporary user involvement. By showing how public user involvement takes the form of a market where individuals’ narratives and experiences o…
“Brave Men” and “Emotional Women”: A Theory-Guided Literature Review on Gender Bias in Health Care and Gendered Norms towards Patients with Chronic Pain
Background . Despite the large body of research on sex differences in pain, there is a lack of knowledge about the influence of gender in the patient-provider encounter. The purpose of this study was to review literature on gendered norms about men and women with pain and gender bias in the treatment of pain. The second aim was to analyze the results guided by the theoretical concepts of hegemonic masculinity and andronormativity. Methods . A lit…
Incorporation and Individualization of Collective Voices: Public Service User Involvement and the User Movement’s Mobilization for Change
‘Service user involvement’ is a widespread and well-known phenomenon within welfare policy and practice in Western countries and is usually perceived as a way of improving welfare services to better aid service users in managing their predicaments. However, the presented ethnographical study of service user involvement within a Swedish psychiatry organization shows that user involvement initiatives might also result in unintended and undesired ef…
When they talk about motherhood: A qualitative study of three groups’ perceptions in a Swedish child health service context
The findings of this paper suggest that convergences and divergences in perceptions of motherhood among three groups may be important in equitable access and utilization of healthcare. Individualized healthcare requires nuance and should avoid normative or stereotypical encounters by recognizing social context and needs that are relevant to specific groups of the population
To tell the right story: Functions of the personal user narrative in service user involvement
From the starting point of narrative ethnography, this article explores a specific kind of service user involvement in psychiatry: staff training activities in which patients and former patients are invited to “tell their stories”. A core feature of these stories is that they are based on the narrators’ self-perceived experience, and they all have a highly personal character. I call these stories service user narratives, and these are the topic o…
