Formål med studien var å undersøke korttidsvirkninger i etterkant av seksuelle overgrep hos førskolebarn og forhold som kan påvirke utvikling av korttidsvirkningene i etterkant. Studien tok utgangspunkt i eksisterende forskningslitteratur om seksuelle overgrep mot førskolebarn. Forskningslitteraturen ble trukket fra to internasjonale databaser og systematisk gjennomgått ved bruk av utvalgskriterier. ...

Abstract Minor mental disorders are widespread and may have significant consequences for the individual, their family and colleagues, as well as for the society (Mykletun & Knudsen, 2009). The purpose of this study was to examine the challenges and experiences employees with mental health problems have with maintaining employment. Hopefully, this will provide an increased understanding of how ...

Tidligere forskning indikerer at nevrotisisme er positivt korrelert med symptomtrykk, men at mindfulness og self-compassion er positivt korrelert med velvære og gode mestringsstrategier. I denne studien undersøkte vi hvordan nevrotisisme, mindfulness og self-compassion, kan relateres til symptombelastning. Vi forventet å se at self-compassion og mindfulness ville utgjøre en modererende eller ...

It has long been hypothesized that creativity may be related to mind wandering. Recent work has shown that bodily movement is related to both creativity and mind wandering. In the current experiment, we examined the question as to whether mind wandering and creativity would be simultaneously enhanced during an active walking condition relative to an inactive control condition. The experiment included ...

Extensive documentation on consequences of family violence laid the ground for a politically decided mandate for the Norwegian Family Protection Service (FPS) to prioritize families with children and violence. This study explores the practice of one of the country’s larger FPS offices following this mandate and its kick-off start. Data from all cases in 1 year with families with children and violence ...

The previous papers in this series outlined a historical panorama and presented updated knowledge about putative risk factors and how eating disorders are distributed in various populations. In this final paper, we discuss in what way comorbidity findings and transdiagnostic issues may change our conceptions about ‘an epidemiological case’ from the current definition of eating disorders based on the ...

Background: Several studies have demonstrated the effect of guided Internet-based cognitive behavioral therapy (ICBT) for depression. However, ICBT is not suitable for all depressed patients and there is a considerable level of nonresponse. Research on predictors and moderators of outcome in ICBT is inconclusive. Objective: This paper explored predictors of response to an intervention combining the ...

This general population-based study examined associations between violence and mental health, musculoskeletal pain, and early disability pension. The prevalence and consequences of good vs. poor adjustment (resilience vs vulnerability) following encounters with violence were also examined. Data were based on the sixth wave of the “Tromsø Study” (N=12,981; 65.7% response rate, 53.4% women, M-age=57.5 ...

Previous studies suggest that transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS) can facilitate motor performance and learning. In this double-blind experiment, 60 healthy human subjects (29 females) were randomized into three groups (active tDCS, sham tDCS, and no-treatment control group) in order to investigate the effect of a 20 min session of 2 mA tDCS over the motor cortex contralateral to the ...
