• Innvandrere og brukermedvirkning i helse og omsorgstjenestene. Hvordan ivareta innvandreres brukermedvirkning i avgjørelser om egen helse, utforming av tjenester og tjenesteforskning. En oppsummering av kunnskap 

      Jakobsen, Monika Dybdahl; Storstein Spilker, Ragnhild (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2020)
      Ifølge lovverket skal pasienter og brukere involveres i avgjørelser om sin egen helse (brukermedvirkning på individnivå) og i utforming av helse- og omsorgstjenester (brukermedvirkning på tjeneste- og systemnivå). Sentrale offentlige dokumenter understreker også at brukermedvirkning i tjenesteforskning er viktig for å få gode og relevante helse- og omsorgstjenester. Innvandrere utgjør 14,7 ...
    • Lifestyle risk factors of self-reported fibromyalgia in the Norwegian Women and Cancer (NOWAC) study 

      Benebo, Faith Owunari; Lukic, Marko; Jakobsen, Monika Dybdahl; Braaten, Tonje Bjørndal (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-11)
      Background While the aetiology of fibromyalgia syndrome (FM) remains unknown, lifestyle factors have been linked to the disorder. However, there are few studies on the association between lifestyle factors and FM, thus we examine the risk of self-reported fibromyalgia given selected lifestyle factors.<p> <p>Methods We used data from 75,485 participants in the Norwegian Women and Cancer study. ...
    • Older high-cost patients in Norwegian somatic hospitals: A register-based study of patient characteristics 

      Lønhaug-Næss, Morten; Jakobsen, Monika Dybdahl; Blix, Bodil Hansen; Bergmo, Trine Strand; Hoben, Matthias; Moholt, Jill-Marit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2023-10-04)
      Objective Two-thirds of the economic resources in Norwegian hospitals are used on 10% of the patients. Most of these high-cost patients are older adults, which experience more unplanned hospital admissions, longer hospital stays and higher readmission rates than other patients. This study aims to examine the individual and clinical characteristics of older patients with unplanned admissions ...
    • The self-management work of food hypersensitivity 

      Jakobsen, Monika Dybdahl; Obstfelder, Aud; Braaten, Tonje; Abelsen, Birgit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-03-05)
      Background - Food hypersensitivity (FH) has received considerable attention in the scientific community in recent years. However, little attention has been given to the efforts people make to manage their FH. We aimed to explore these efforts by using Normalization Process Theory, which is a conceptual framework formerly used to describe the self-management ‘work’ of long-term conditions.<p> <p>Methods ...
    • The self-management work of food hypersensitivity. A study using a population-based cross-sectional study design and qualitative interviews 

      Jakobsen, Monika Dybdahl (Doctoral thesis; Doktorgradsavhandling, 2020-01-16)
      Food hypersensitivity (FH) has received increased attention in recent years; however, little attention has been given to the self-management work of FH. The aim of the present thesis was to explore the characteristics of women with FH, the nature of the self-management work of FH, and what makes women with FH do the self-management work of FH. The thesis consists of quantitative and qualitative ...
    • Self-Reported Food Hypersensitivity: Prevalence, Characteristics, and Comorbidities in the Norwegian Women and Cancer Study 

      Jakobsen, Monika Dybdahl; Braaten, Tonje; Obstfelder, Aud; Abelsen, Birgit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-12-16)
      <b>Background:</b> This study aims to investigate the prevalence of self-reported food hypersensitivity, (SFH), the characteristics of women with SFH, and whether SFH is associated with multiple health complaints among the participants of the Norwegian Women and Cancer study (NOWAC).<br> <b>Methods:</b> We conducted a cross-sectional study among 64,316 women aged 41–76 years. The women were ...
    • The value of general health perception in health equity research: A community-based cohort study of long-term mortality risk (Finnmark cohort study 1987–2017) 

      Fylkesnes, Knut; Jakobsen, Monika Dybdahl; Henriksen, Nils Oddbjørn (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2021-06-18)
      Background - General health perception as measured by self-rated health (SRH) is an individual's synthesis of personal overall health and has value in its own right. In addition, this subjective perspective has a unique predictive power of subsequent mortality and adds valuable information not captured by objective measures. We studied the relationship between SRH and subsequent mortality to demonstrate ...
    • What makes women with food hypersensitivity do self-management work? 

      Jakobsen, Monika Dybdahl; Obstfelder, Aud; Braaten, Tonje; Abelsen, Birgit (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-07-08)
      <i>Background</i>: Managing a chronic condition takes work, and it is considered important that patients carry out this work. However, knowledge is lacking on what elements enhance self-management work. Persons with food hypersensitivity (FH) seem to do self-management work despite the relatively little support they receive. Our aim is to explore what makes women with FH carry out the work of ...
