      The Indigenous Sámi have poorer mental health than the majority population and fairly equal access to professional mental healthcare. Despite this condition, certain studies indicate that this group is underrepresented among the users of such services. Religion or spirituality (R/S) often influences mental health-service utilisation and satisfaction among other Indigenous peoples and ethnic minorities. ...

    • Diabetes mellitus i SAMINOR-kommunene 

      Broderstad, Ann Ragnhild; Naseribafrouei, Ali; Jacobsen, Bjarne K.; Melhus, Marita (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-03-16)
      Diabetes mellitus (sukkersyke) er en kronisk stoffskiftesykdom karakterisert ved for høyt sukkerinnhold i blodet. Insulin er nødvendig for at kroppens celler skal kunne ta opp og forbrenne sukker fra blodet. Ved diabetes type 2 virker ikke insulinet som kroppen produserer godt nok. Dermed blir mye av sukkeret værende i blodet. Diagnosen blir derfor stilt ved å måle blodsukkeret. Økende alder, ...
