“I Knew in My Soul It Was the Mood Stabilizer That Messed It Up!”
Psychotropic medication is widely used in the treatment of severe mental illness, yet its impact on spirituality—understood as relating to the transcendent—remains underexplored. This qualitative study examines how individuals who have reduced or discontinued medication experience and navigate spirituality. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven former inpatients, and data were analyzed thematically within an existential–p…
Reading literature on kinship in a clinical context
Family members, relatives and friends are all affected when someone is hospitalised with a life-threatening illness. However, they often feel neglected and sometimes ignored by healthcare professionals. To address this, the reading of literature has been used in various clinical contexts in an attempt to humanise the care of patients and their relatives. Reading fiction enables healthcare professionals to imaginatively enter relatives' perspectiv…
Processing the trauma of gynaecological cancer through reading and writing
In this article we explore the potential significance of illness stories in cancer rehabilitation by describing gynaecological cancer survivors' experiences from both reading other women's illness stories as well as writing their own. Individual texts were written by fifty-nine women who had recently finished primary cancer treatment while participating in an e-intervention. These texts were analyzed, inspired by Braun and Clark's method of analy…
Guds hånd, Maradona og Messi(as)
Football is a global popular cultural phenomenon. Due to the enormous interest football generates, the emotions that are lived out, the participation in common rituals and the worship of teams and individual players, football can be compared to religion. We use Argentina’s victory in the FIFA World Cup 2022 as a starting point and explore through empirical examples how the intense interest in football in Argentina and the worship of Maradona can …
A Story of Being Invisible
Severe illness is often an existential threat that triggers emotions like fear, stress, and anxiousness. Such emotions can affect ill patients' encounters with healthcare personnel. We present a single case study of an older woman who contracted COVID-19 and her challenge to be recognised by healthcare personnel in the early pandemic. Storytelling is vital to understand how patients can create meaning in illness as it gives them the opportunity t…
Modes of dying in the electronic patient record
To die in a medical ward is to die in a context aimed at saving lives and ensuring an efficient patient turnover. At the centre of securing treatment and care for patients is the electronic patient record (EPR). In this study, we will argue that the EPR is not only a container of relevant information about a patient and a record of past events but that it also performs how to go about dying, thereby also actively contributing to orderings of dyin…
Creative writing as a means to recover from early psychosis– Experiences from a group intervention
CW was well conceived. The feelings of connectedness and mastery were prominent. The participants experienced growth on several levels. Our findings support previous work on arts therapy as a means to recovery
Existential' in Scandinavian Healthcare Journals
The concept of 'existential', used frequently in Scandinavian healthcare journals, is associated with various, often unclear, meanings, highlighting the need for a more accurate understanding of the concept. In this integrative review we analyse how the concept has been used in Scandinavian healthcare journals from 1984 to 2020, exploring the trajectory of the concept, its definitions and its applications. A secondary aim is to offer some clarity…
The poetics of vulnerability
There is a growing interest in the application of creative writing in the treatment of mental illness. Nonpharmacological approaches have shown that access to poetic, creative language can allow for the verbalisation of illness experiences, as well as for self-expressions that can include other facets of the subject outside of the disease. In particular, creative writing in a safe group context has proven to be of particular importance. In this a…
Nobody Dies Alone in the Electronic Patient Record—A Qualitative Analysis of the Textual Practices of Documenting Dying and Death
In this study, we analyse the electronic patient record (EPR) as a genre and investigate how a death is documented as part of the EPR, that is, what kind of textual practices can be found, and how they can be understood based on extracts from 42 EPRs from medical wards in Norwegian hospitals. Following from our analysis, we see four distinct patterns in the documentation of patient death: a) registering the bare minimum of information, b) registe…

Narratives of nostalgia in the face of death
Reflexivity on an Empirical Study about Cancer Patients' Perception of Good Caring in Light of Goffman's Theory
Findings from an empirical, qualitative study conducted by the first author regarding cancer patients' perceptions of good nursing care have previously been published. In this article, the entire research process of the study is analyzed and discussed in light of the social theories of Erving Goffman (1959, 1986), arriving at some complementary interpretations of the findings. Reflections are made specifically based on his theories concerning the…
