How loss of nature through clear-cutting forestry affects well-being
The United Nations declares that the global degradation of ecosystems represents a danger to human health. Deterioration of forests is one of several threats against the natural systems. The aim of this exploratory study was to investigate people’s experiences with clear-cutting and how it had affected their health and well-being. Qualitative data from six people who valued forest ecosystems were collected through semi-structured interviews and a…
Nordic responses to covid-19 from a health promotion perspective
On 30 January 2020, the disease covid-19 was declared by the World Health Organization to be an international threat to human health and on 11 March 2020, the outbreak was declared a pandemic. The aim of this study was to analyse policy strategies developed by the five Nordic countries during the first 3 months of the pandemic from a health promotion perspective in order to identify Nordic responses to the crisis. Although the Nordic countries ha…
Supporting Self-Employed Cancer Survivors to Continue Working
Few studies have investigated the support needed or received by self-employed cancer survivors to continue working. In Norway, the Labour and Welfare Administration (NAV) is responsible for supporting people both practically and financially to continue or return to work following ill health. Social welfare counsellors (NAV counsellors) are responsible for guiding workers in their effort to return to work. This study aimed to investigate NAV couns…
The Nordic Income Equality Model in Health Promotion
We highlight and analyze an important channel for redistribution of income in the Nordic countries, often underemphasized in the scholarly literature that analyze the relationship between income equality and public health. We show how coordinated wage bargaining and solidaristic wage policy lead to wage compression, and thereby to low market income inequality in the Nordic countries. We also show that there are important spillovers between the di…
Management and Leadership Approaches to Health Promotion and Sustainable Workplaces
Whole-system approaches linking workplace health promotion to the development of a sustainable working life have been advocated. The aim of this scoping review was to map out if and how whole-system approaches to workplace health promotion with a focus on management, leadership, and economic efficiency have been used in Nordic health promotion research. In addition, we wanted to investigate, in depth, if and how management and/or leadership appro…
Promoting health by addressing living conditions in Norwegian municipalities
Worldwide, inequalities in health are increasing, even in well-developed welfare states such as Norway, which in 2012, saw a new public health act take effect that enshrined equity in health as national policy and devolved to municipalities' responsibility to act on the social determinants of health. The act deems governance structures and "Health in All Policies" approaches as important steering mechanisms for local health promotion. The aim of …
A Qualitative Study of Clinicians Experience with Rating of the Global Assessment of Functioning (GAF) Scale
Work engagement
The objectives of this study were to investigate whether psychological job demands, personal control and social support affect the negative health measure of depression differently than the positive measure of work engagement and to investigate whether work engagement mediates the effects of job demands and resources on the level of depression. We discuss the implications of using engagement as an outcome measure in workplace health promotion. We…
A pilot study of how information and communication technology may contribute to health promotion among elderly spousal carers in Norway
The objective of this pilot Norwegian intervention study was to explore whether use of information and communication technology (ICT) by informal carers of frail elderly people living at home would enable them to gain more knowledge about chronic illness, caring and coping, establish an informal support network and reduce stress and related mental health problems. Potential participants were close relatives of an elderly person with a diagnosis o…
