      Simonsen, Gunnar Skov; Berdal, Jan-Erik; Grave, Kari; Juvet, Lene Kristine; Lunestad, Bjørn Tore; Riisberg, Ingvild; Rørtveit, Guri; Urdahl, Anne Margrete; Årdal, Christine Oline (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2021)
      Antimikrobiell resistens (AMR) er en global trussel mot helse og velferd hos mennesker og dyr. Den grunnleggende forståelsen av AMR har ikke endret seg over det siste tiåret, men vi har fått mer detaljert innsikt i hvordan resistens oppstår, selekteres og kan spre seg innad hos og mellom mennesker, dyr og i miljøet. Det er nødvendig å se utfordringene knyttet til AMR i et helhetlig Én helse - ...
    • The Norwegian PraksisNett: a nationwide practice-based research network with a novel IT infrastructure 

      Kristoffersen, Espen Saxhaug; Bjorvatn, Bjørn; Halvorsen, Peder Andreas; Nilsen, Stein; Fossum, Guro Haugen; Fors, Egil Andreas; Jørgensen, Pål; Øxnevad-Gundersen, Berit; Gjelstad, Svein; Bellika, Johan Gustav; Straand, Jørund; Rørtveit, Guri (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2022-05-13)
      Clinical research in primary care is relatively scarce. Practice-based research networks (PBRNs) are research infrastructures to overcome hurdles associated with conducting studies in primary care. In Norway, almost all 5.4 million inhabitants have access to a general practitioner (GP) through a patient-list system. This gives opportunity for a PBRN with reliable information about the general ...
    • Overcoming clinician and parent ambivalence: General practitioners' support of children of parents with physical or mental illness and/or substance abuse 

      Hafting, Marit; Gullbrå, Frøydis; Anderssen, Norman; Rørtveit, Guri; Smith-Sivertsen, Tone; Doesum, Karin van (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-01-08)
      Children who are next of kin to parents with physical or mental illness and/or substance abuse need access to mental health support and several cost-effective interventions are available. Because most parents in the target group often consult general practitioners (GPs), GPs may have a crucial role in identifying burdened children and ensuring their follow-up. However, this important topic has ...
    • Patient experiences and the association with organizational factors in general practice: Results from the Norwegian part of the international, multi-centre, cross-sectional QUALICOPC study 

      Eide, Torunn Bjerve; Straand, Jørund; Melbye, Hasse; Rørtveit, Guri; Hetlevik, Irene; Rosvold, Elin Olaug (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-24)
      Background: General practitioners (GPs) constitute a vital part of a strong primary health care system. We need further knowledge concerning factors that may affect the patients’ experiences in their meetings with the GPs. We investigated to what degree organizational factors and GP characteristics are associated with patients’ communicative experiences in a consultation. Methods: We used data ...
    • The primary care perspective on the Norwegian national strategy against antimicrobial resistance 

      Rørtveit, Guri; Simonsen, Gunnar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-09-19)
      A national strategy to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) has been subject to cyclic processes in Norway since 1998. In 2020, a renewed process cycle was launched. Here, we describe the process and the approach of the process. In addition, we describe two concepts from philosophy of science that may help to frame the process: AMR is an example of a super wicked problem, and post-normal science ...
    • Søvnforstyrrelser og forskrivning av hypnotika i allmennpraksis – en PraksisNett-studie 

      Forthun, Ingeborg; Rørtveit, Guri; Fossum, Guro Haugen; Jørgensen, Pål; Halvorsen, Peder Andreas; Nilsen, Stein; Straand, Jørund; Bellika, Johan Gustav; Bjorvatn, Bjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023)
      Søvnforstyrrelser er svært utbredt i befolkningen. Insomni er den vanligste søvnforstyrrelsen med en forekomst på omkring 10-20 % [1, 2]. Forekomsten ser ut til å være økende i befolkningen [1]. Blant pasienter på venterommet hos norske fastleger er forekomsten så høy som rundt 50 % ifølge to tidligere studier [3, 4]. Insomni utgjør en risikofaktor for utvikling av psykiske lidelser [5] og ...
