Barrierer mot etterlevelse av retningslinjer for helsepersonell i sykehus
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-10-28)<p><i>Bakgrunn:</i> Kunnskapsbaserte faglige retningslinjer skal bidra til å kvalitetssikre helsetjenesten. Tidligere forskning viser et gap mellom anbefalinger i retningslinjer og klinisk praksis. Få studier har undersøkt etterlevelsen av retningslinjer blant helsepersonell på sykehus etter avsluttet implementering. Denne studien tar utgangspunkt i «Keisersnittprosjektet», et kvalitetsforbedringsprosjekt ... -
Bruk av videosamtale i behandling av tuberkulose-sykdom i Nord-Norge
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-01-13)<i>BAKGRUNN</i> - Totalt ble det meldt 261 pasienter med tuberkulose i Norge i 2017, hvorav 90 % fullførte behandlingen. Tuberkulosemedikamenter gis som daglig direkte observert behandling (DOT) til alle pasienter. Vi undersøkte om dette kan gjøres ved videosamtale.<p> <p><i>MATERIALE OG METODE</i> - Vi gjennomførte en klinisk observasjonsstudie ved Universitetssykehuset Nord-Norge 2016–19, der ... -
Early sexual behaviour and Chlamydia trachomatis infection - a population based cross-sectional study on gender differences among adolescents in Norway.
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)Early sexual behaviour has been shown to differ significantly between genders, but few studies have addressed this topic to explain the commonly observed differences in chlamydia rates between adolescent girls and boys. Our study aimed to determine chlamydia prevalence in adolescents aged 15–20 years in a high-incidence area in Norway, and to identify gender-specific early sexual behaviours associated ... -
Factors associated with Chlamydia trachomatis testing in a high school based screening and previously in clinical practice: a cross-sectional study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)High school based chlamydia screening has been shown to increase uptake and detect hidden infections among sexually active adolescents. Our study aimed to: i) examine the proportions of 15–20 year-olds tested in a high school based screening and previously in clinical practice, ii) determine chlamydia prevalence according to testing pattern, and iii) examine factors associated with testing in the ... -
Gastrointestinal carriage of Klebsiella pneumoniae in a general adult population: a cross-sectional study of risk factors and bacterial genomic diversity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-28)Antibiotic resistant <i>Klebsiella pneumoniae</i> is a leading public health threat and gastrointestinal carriage is an established risk factor for subsequent infections during hospitalization. Our study contributes new knowledge of risk factors for gastrointestinal carriage and the genomic population structure of <i>K. pneumoniae</i> colonizing humans in a representative sample of a general population ... -
Genital Chlamydia trachomatis infections among adolescents in a high-incidence area in Norway: genotypes, prevalence, early sexual behaviour and testing patterns – a cross-sectional study The Finnmark High School Study (FHSS)
(Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2013-12-06)Chlamydia trachomatis is the most commonly reported curable sexually transmitted infection in Western high-income countries and can cause severe female reproductive tract morbidity. Despite extensive control efforts, chlamydia rates have increased in most countries since the mid-1990s. Young persons and especially adolescent girls have the highest infection rates. In general, girls are tested far ... -
Liposomes-in-hydrogel delivery system enhances the potential of resveratrol in combating vaginal chlamydia infection
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-12-11)<i>Chlamydia trachomatis</i> is the most common cause of bacterial sexually transmitted infections and causes serious reproductive tract complications among women. The limitations of existing oral antibiotics and treatment of antimicrobial resistance require alternative treatment options. We are proposing, for the first time, the natural polyphenol resveratrol (RES) in an advanced delivery system ... -
Multilocus Sequence Typing of Genital Chlamydia trachomatis in Norway Reveals Multiple New Sequence Types and a Large Genetic Diversity
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2012)The Chlamydia trachomatis incidence rate in Finnmark, the most northern and sparsely populated county in Norway, has been twice the national average. This population based cross-sectional study among Finnmark high school students had the following aims: i) to examine distribution of multilocus sequence types (STs) of C. trachomatis in a previously unmapped area, ii) to compare chlamydia genetic ... -
Nasjonalt utbrudd av Pseudomonas aeruginosa i sykehus forårsaket av ferdigfuktede ikke-sterile vaskekluter, Norge, 2021-2022
(Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2022-06)I november 2021 ble Folkehelseinstituttet varslet om at tre intensivpasienter hadde dødd av blodbaneinfeksjon med bakterien Pseudomonas aeruginosa ved Universitetssykehuset Nord-Norge i Tromsø i løpet av kort tid. De hadde identiske isolater forenlig med et klonalt utbrudd. Helgenomsekvensering viste at det var en ny sekvenstype, ST3875, som ikke har vært påvist i Norge eller andre land. Nye ... -
Non-prescription purchase of antibiotics during travel abroad among a general adult population in Norway: Findings from the seventh Tromsø Study
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-02-13)<i>Background</i> - Non-prescription purchase of antibiotics is undesirable and has not recently been investigated in a representative population in a high-income low-use country during travel abroad. This study examined self-reported prevalence of antibiotic purchase abroad with and without prescription among participants reporting international travel in a general adult population in Norway, and ... -
Risk factors, immune response and whole‐genome sequencing of SARS‐CoV‐2 in a cruise ship outbreak in Norway
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-02-18)Objective: To improve understanding of SARS-CoV-2-transmission and prevention measures on cruise ships, we investigated a Norwegian cruise ship outbreak from July to August 2020 using a multidisciplinary approach after a rapid outbreak response launched by local and national health authorities. Methods: We conducted a cross-sectional study among crew members using epidemiologic data and results ... -
The Use of Protection for Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and Unwanted Pregnancy among Norwegian Heterosexual Young Adults 2009
(Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2011)This paper explores the use and none-use of condoms among young heterosexual adults in Norway. To what extent do young heterosexuals use condoms and other types of contraception, and in which context does the use take place? What are the motives underlying both use and non use of condoms? The results are based on a 2009 national web panel survey among 16–24 year-olds in Norway (n = 871). Most ... -
