Proactive postgraduate education in disaster medicine and preparedness for enhanced disaster management
Ethics and methods in disaster health research
Background: Disaster medicine operates in unstable, high-risk environments where operational, ethical, and contextual constraints frequently undermine traditional research designs. Although global health agendas increasingly emphasise person- and patient-centred care (PCC), these principles remain poorly articulated and rarely operationalised within disaster research. We aimed to examine how ethical tensions and methodological limitations shape t…
Person-centredness in emergencies and disasters
Background : While person- and patient-centered care aims to influence policymakers' rules and regulations to improve the care of individuals worldwide, there is a lack of exploration regarding this concept in the context of disasters and public health emergencies as an alternative ethical approach. The increase in the number and scale of disasters and public health emergencies globally has underscored the importance of effective management in th…
Quasi-backsourcing in the Public Sector – The Challenge of Withdrawing from an Intertwined and Long-standing Relationship
The aim of this study is to map the process involved in terminating a long-standing business relationship in a public context. It employed an exploratory study to interview 35 politicians, senior- and middle managers, ambulance- and dispatch centre staff and representatives of a regional alliance of patients. Growing criticism from a county council towards a contractor ended in a decision to bring services back in-house. However, terminating the …
Diffusion of person-centred care within 27 European countries – interviews with managers, officials, and researchers at the micro, meso, and macro levels
Purpose: This study aimed to describe facilitators and barriers in terms of regulation and financing of healthcare due to the implementation and use of person-centred care (PCC). Design/methodology/approach: A qualitative design was adopted, using interviews at three different levels: micro=hospital ward, meso=hospital management, and macro=national board/research. Inclusion criteria were staff working in healthcare as first line managers, hospit…
Women, Leadership, and Change – Navigating between Contradictory Cultures
This article explores how women in top leader positions navigate between the two contradictory cultures of masculinity and femininity and, in particular, if and how these positionings and negotiations develop over time. Drawing on working-life biographical interviews with women on the top of organizational hierarchies within the crisis management systems in the Nordic countries, the article illustrates women top leaders relating to norms of mascu…
The Feasibility of Implementing the Flexible Surge Capacity Concept in Bangkok
The management of emergencies consists of a chain of actions with the support of staff, stuff, structure, and system, i.e., surge capacity. However, whenever the needs exceed the present resources, there should be flexibility in the system to employ other resources within communities, i.e., flexible surge capacity (FSC). This study aimed to investigate the possibility of creating alternative care facilities (ACFs) to relieve hospitals in Bangkok,…
Importance of Immediate Electronic-Based Feedback to Enhance Feedback for First-Time CPR Trainees
Sudden cardiac arrest is one of the leading causes of death globally. The recommended clinical management in out-of-hospital cardiac arrest cases is the immediate initiation of high-quality cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). Training mannequins should be combined with technology that provides students with detailed immediate feedback on the quality of CPR performance. This study aimed to verify the impacts of the type of feedback (basic or deta…
Involuntary backsourcing in the public sector
The aim of this study is to contribute to the literature on how involuntary backsourcing in public organizations is performed in practice and how it affects the relationship between principal and agent. The study focuses on two questions: (1) Which stages characterize the process when public contracts are involuntary terminated? (2) How does involuntary backsourcing affect the relationship between principal and agent during the transfer period? T…
Learning and usefulness stemming from collaboration in a maritime crisis management exercise in Northern Norway
Purpose This research investigates the perceived collaboration between public, private, and volunteer organisations during maritime crisis work, with an emphasis on learning and collaboration. The purpose of this paper is to investigate participants’ perceived collaboration training in relation to learning and usefulness. Design/methodology/approach The exercise studied in this research was run in the far North in Norway. It was estimated by the …
Why is collaboration minimised at the accident scene
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to study why collaboration among police, fire, and ambulance services is minimised at accident scenes. Design/methodology/approach Observations and semi‐structured interviews were carried out during 2007‐2008. The data material comprises a total of 248 hours of observations on 20 occasions and 57 interviews with 80 people. Findings The study identifies the difference between rhetoric and practice in connection…
