    Alla människor förtjänar goda möjligheter till psykisk hälsa: En kvalitativ studie om olika offentliga och ideella aktörers erfarenheter av att främja psykisk hälsa bland HBTQI-personer2022Independent thesis Basic level (degree of Bachelor), 10 credits / 15 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Inequality in health is one of the biggest public health challenges. Some people’s health conditions are at risk to a greater extent than others. One such group that is at greater risk of developing mental illness are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and intersex people [LGBTQI]. This is shown by publications from national agencies, as well as international research. Therefore, methods that promote mental health among sexual minorities should be clarified. For that reason, this study aims to describe different public and non-profit actor’s experiences of health promoting methods to improve mental health among LGBTQI people. This study applies a qualitative method, with a purposive- and snowball sampling combined with semi-structured interviews with six different actors. The material has been processed by a manifest content analysis. 

    The conclusion in this study is that five health promotion methods were found, based on the actors’ experiences. These are educational-raising promotions, cross-sectoral collaboration, meaningful activities, intersectional and long-term strategies. Actor’s positive experiences is the fact that there are many opportunities in the public health work and in their professional roles. The actors also describe positive experiences of collaboration and claims that it is a benefit in the health promotion practice. The negative experiences are the lack of knowledge and resources, as well as difficulties in reaching the target group. These challenges are particularly noticeable in smaller cities.

    Från student till yrkesverksam sjuksköterska: Nyexaminerade sjuksköterskors upplevelser och erfarenheter av övergången från student till yrkesverksam i relation till den psykosociala hälsan2023Independent thesis Advanced level (degree of Master (One Year)), 20 credits / 30 HE creditsStudent thesis
    Abstract [en]

    Background: Newly graduated nurses can experience a challenging time when they enter work life. The transition process from student to professional can almost be shocking due to psychosocial factors, which in addition can affect the health negatively. From a public health science perspective, the problem should be investigated with the aim of contributing to more knowledge in the field.

    Aim: The aim of this study is to examine newly graduated nurse’s experiences of the transition from student to registered nurse in relation to the psychosocial health.

    Method: A qualitative method was applied with a purposive-snowball sampling. Six informants were included, all of whom had undergone the transition from nursing student to professional nurse. Individual semi-structured interviews were chosen as the interview form, and a manifest content analysis was used as the analysis method.

    Result: The study’s results consist of two categories. The first category is the importance of time on the psychosocial health. Lack of work experience can be felt as an initial insecurity in the professional role as a registered nurse, which can negatively affect the psychosocial health. However, with more work experience a self-confidence in the professional role as a nurse developed which in turn promoted the psychosocial health. The second category is the importance of resources on the psychosocial health. Internal abilities and external support facilitated the transition, and contributed to a positive psychosocial well-being, while a lack of resources made the transition more difficult.

    Conclusions: The factors time and resources had an impact on the transition and on the psychosocial health. It also emerged that newly graduated nurses are not sufficiently prepared and that improvements should be implied in the education and in the workplace to facilitate the transition. In addition to that had also Antonovsky’s theory sense of coherences an impact on the transition. The theory’s three components, manageability, comprehensibility, and meaningfulness where central for the transition.
