This qualitative study presents the experiences of nine queer disabled people using personal assistance services in Norway. The findings from this study show that having personal assistance services could both be a hindrance and a possibility for queer disabled people in accessing and …
Improving competence for practice
Introduction Sparse education on sexual health promotion for health and welfare professionals can lead to unequal sexual health care provision, with related needs and rights being insufficiently met. To improve knowledge for health and welfare professionals, co-production and shared learning are essential, as students’ learning, and professional development are facilitated by effective partnerships between universities and workplaces. Methods Usi…
Career crafting using work-integrated learning
Most PhD candidates will not end up in academia and would need an alternative skill set. Higher education is under scrutiny for not developing the graduate attributes needed by the world of work. Work-integrated learning (WIL) is suggested to provide ways to identify and develop the skills required. Due to the individualised nature of career development, a one-fits-all approach will not solve the challenge. Career crafting provides a way, to cons…
Work-integrated learning for working life in academia – experiences from online learning activities with PhD students
The PhD period needs to provide work-integrated learning (WIL) in academia to enable the development of academic skills and handling situations of failure as well as success. During the Covid-19 pandemic there was increased risk for PhD students of losing pace in PhD projects, disconnectedness from academia and decreased well-being, while digitalisation in PhD education increased. The purpose was to test and explore the experienced value of group…
Sexual and reproductive health and rights content in higher education in Norway – a quantitative document analysis
Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) are often insufficiently engaged with in professional higher education. This study presents results from a mapping of SRHR indicators in formal higher education documents relating to 11 higher educational profession programmes in Norway. The findings show a modest level of inclusion of SRHR indicators but a low level of constructive alignment between different levels of educational documents regard…
Norwegian Health Professionals’ Attitudes Toward Addressing Sexual Health with People with Intellectual Disabilities

Professionals in this context have diverse backgrounds and education, and little is known about their attitudes and skills in providing support for a healthy sexual life and preventing abuse. Moreover, this topic has not been explored in the Norwegian context. The current study examined health professionals’ attitudes toward addres…
What are the disadvantages of having a foreign background as a female academic and working at a university in Europe
The main goal of this project was to explore foreign female academics' experiences working at universities in Europe. The Bologna Declaration has enabled the cross-border exchange of academic staff within Europe. Female academics represent an essential and steadily growing group within academia; they are occupying desirable academic positions at unprecedented rates. For women, building their teaching and scientific career at another university is…

At the same time, there is a crucial need to focus on inclusivity in higher education to ensure equal possibilities for students to attend and complete successful higher education. The objective of this manuscript is to describe the protocol for the project: Digital, universal, and intercultural didactics in a master course “T…
Mapping definitions of co‐production and co‐design in health and social care
OBJECTIVES: This study aimed to explore how the concepts of co-production and co-design have been defined and applied in the context of health and social care and to identify the temporal adoption of the terms. METHODS: A systematic scoping review of CINAHL with Full Text, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, MEDLINE, PsycINFO, PubMed and Scopus was conducted to identify studies exploring co-production or co-design in health and social…
Analysing intersecting social resources in young people’s ability to suggest safer sex - results from a national population-based survey in Sweden
The intersections of resources show the complexity and that gender cannot account for all differences in the resources for young people's ability to suggest safer sex. Implications for policy and practitioners involve both addressing and strengthening the sexual rights of young people from sexual minorities and tailoring interventions in a way that takes the intersections between gender and sexual identity into consideration
Vulnerability Analysis in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) — Indications of Intersecting Vulnerable Positions in a National Survey Among Young People in Sweden
Introduction Sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) policies use gender as the foremost social determinant to explain vulnerability in relation to SRHR among young people. Therefore, our aim was to explore intersecting vulnerable positions within the three SRHR-related outcome areas: unsafe sex, sex against one’s will, and transactional sex, among young people aged 16–29. Methods The data set is from a randomised, cross-sectional, and p…
Access to Sexual Health Services and Support for People with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities
To progressively realise Article 25 of the UNCRPD signatory, countries need to ensure sexual health services are accessible to people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. This study recommends that sexual health policy addresses equity of access for people with intellectual and developmental disability by ensuring all staff are prepared and supported to provide these services

Education for sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR)
Knowledge of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) by health care, police, legal and social work professionals has been shown to be insufficient. This lack of competence is likely to affect the quality of services. The aim of this study was to describe SRHR indicators in educational programmes in health care, police, legal and social work higher education in Sweden. A text-based analysis was conducted of written material from all educa…
