These features make prisons especially interesting settings for exploring health beliefs. The aim of this study was to explore the conceptualizations of mental health ...

    • Daily associations between sleep and pain in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain 

      Abeler, Karin; Bergvik, Svein; Sand, Trond; Friborg, Oddgeir (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-02-02)
      Patients with chronic pain commonly report sleep problems, and the evidence for a relationship between sleep disturbance and pain seems robust. The day‐to‐day associations between these constructs are less well studied, particularly with objective sleep measures such as actigraphy. Moreover, the concurrent presence of negative affective symptoms, as well as seasonality effects at extreme latitudes ...

      <i>Background</i> - The degree to which the relationship between alcohol use and sleeplessness is unidirectional or reciprocal is unclear due to great variation among the results of previous studies.

      Ramsdal, Gro Hilde; Bergvik, Svein; Wynn, Rolf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-03-22)
      School dropout is related to difficult life trajectories in Western society. Developing effective preventive interventions is urgent. Nevertheless, few studies have interviewed unemployed young adults in the aftermath of school dropout to understand their experiences with influential factors. We interviewed seven former students two to five years after they had dropped out and seven same-aged students ...

    • Seasonality in pain, sleep and mental distress in patients with chronic musculoskeletal pain at latitude 69° N 

      Abeler, Karin; Sand, Trond; Friborg, Oddgeir; Bergvik, Svein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-05-28)
      Seasonality is evident in several aspects of human health and behavior, whereas seasonality in chronic pain is less well studied. We examined seasonal variation in pain severity and pain dissemination, as well as in pain-associated conditions, such as sleep impairment, sleep timing, mental distress, fatigue and physical activity. We also examined if any of these associated conditions moderated the ...

      <p>Objectives: Sleep disturbance is associated with persistence and exacerbation of chronic pain. As this relationship seems to be bidirectional, factors underpinning sleep disturbance may prove important in multimodal rehabilitation approaches. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to examine the impact of psychological symptoms on subjective and objective sleep measures in patients with chronic ...

    • Women with coronary heart disease – making sense of their symptoms and their experiences from interacting with their general practitioners 

      Gundersen, Agnes Erika Berg; Sørlie, Tore; Bergvik, Svein (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-01)
      Cardiovascular disease and particularly coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death among women and men worldwide. CHD in women, and their symptoms and treatment trajectory are not well understood. Studies indicate gender-related differences in symptom presentation, comorbidity, help-seeking behavior, and the quality of diagnostics and treatment of CHD. Although the incidence ...
