Interpolation, dés-interpolation, ré-interpolation. Le Tristan en prose et l'Agravain
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)Vers la fin de la séquence d’épisodes repris à l’Agravain qui se trouvent interpolés dans certains manuscrits du Tristan en prose, les chevaliers partis en quête de Lancelot retournent à la cour du roi Arthur à Camaalot. Ils rentrent non seulement avec leur héros, mais encore avec leurs histoires : une fois tous confortablement installés – toute armure dûment enlevée – le roi invite ses chevaliers ... -
Forty Years of Arctic Primary Care Research on the Early Diagnosis of Cancer
(Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2021)Usually, before a patient with cancer can be treated in a hospital, a general practitioner (GP) must suspect the diagnosis and refer the patient. GPs often worry that they could have done better for some of their cancer patients. Had there been an unreasonable delay of diagnosis? In the arctic, rural/urban city of Tromsø, this question became the subject of several scientific articles. Symptoms was ... -

Crisis Management in Norwegian Nursing Homes During the Covid-19 Pandemic: Pragmatism and Performativity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-09-22)Background: The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic in early 2020 imposed a severe crisis on nursing homes in Norway. Despite criticism in evaluations pointing to inadequate preparedness, nursing homes managed to keep infection and mortality rates low. Enhanced knowledge of crisis management in the aftermath of a crisis is important for preparedness and future crisis management and can contribute to ... -
Consequences of the pandemic for CAM therapists and their patients
(Conference object; Konferansebidrag, 2022)In March 2020, the Norwegian authorities decided to shut down the country to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus. The lockdown of society resulted in many healthcare workers having to close their practice or comply with a requirement of two meters distance between patients and providers, and consultations of a maximum of 15 minutes. This also applied to the CAM providers. In collaboration with ... -
Nurses’ experiences of informal coercion on adult psychiatric wards
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-03)Background: Informal coercion, that is, situations where caregivers use subtle coercive measures to impose their will on patients, is common in adult psychiatric inpatient care. It has been described as ‘a necessary evil’, confronting nurses with an ethical dilemma where they need to balance between a wish to do good, and the risk of violating patients’ dignity and autonomy.<p> <p>Aim: To describe ... -
