    • Mangfoldsperspektiver i forskning på vold i nære relasjoner 

      Bredal, Anja; Eggebø, Helga; Eriksen, Astrid (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2020-06-10)

The aim of this chapter is to explore the current status of research on domestic violence in a diversity perspective. We argue that dimensions like ...

Previous research on mental health among the adult Sami population has mainly been conducted in rural areas, and there is a knowledge gap concerning the mental health of urban Sami. This study has a ...
    • Partnervold og psykiske plager – tidligere voldsutsatthet har betydning 

      Eriksen, Astrid; Melhus, Marita (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2022-03-16)
      Det finnes ingen tidligere studier som har hatt fokus på partnervold i den samisk befolkningen. Vi vet at vold generelt og partnervold spesielt påvirker den psykiske helsen negativt, og det er liten grunn til å tro at det er annerledes i samiske samfunn. Basert på data fra SAMINOR 2 – spørreskjemaundersøkelsen (2012), har vi studert forekomsten av emosjonell, fysisk og seksuell partnervold og ...
