The latter entailed major consequences for health care systems and health care personnel (HCP) in both specialist and community health care services, in Norway and worldwide. The aim of this study was to explore how the HCP perceived the quality of palliative care in nursing homes, medical care units, and intensive care units during the COVID-19 pandemic.Methods: This study had a cross-sectional design. A total of 290 HCP from Norway participated in the study (RR = 25.8%) between October and December 2021. The questionnaire comprised items concerning respondents’ demographics and quality of care, the latter measured by the short form of the Quality from the Patient’s Perspective—Palliative Care instrument, adapted for HCP. The STROBE checklist was used.Results: This study shows that the HCP scored subjective importance as higher in all dimensions, items and single items than their perception of the actual care received. This could indicate a need for improvement in all areas. Information about medication, opportunity to participate in decisions about medical and nursing care and continuity regarding receiving help from the same physician and nurse are examples of areas for improvement.Conclusion: Study results indicate that HCP from nursing homes, medical care units, and intensive care units perceived that quality of palliative care provided was not in line with what they perceived to be important for the patient. This indicate that it was challenging to provide high-quality palliative care during the COVID-19 pandemic.Keywords: COVID-19 pandemic, health care personnel perspective, palliative care, quality of care

6. Between Good Intentions and Practical Constraints: Swedish Teachers' Perceptions of School Lunch

Author

Berggren, L., Olsson, C., Rönnlund, M., and Waling, M.

Abstract

In Sweden, pupils eat tax-funded school lunches, often in the company of teachers. This article focuses on Swedish compulsory school grade (ages 7-15) teachers' (n = 823) perceptions of the school lunch in terms of intentions and daily practice. Analysis was based on written answers for an open-ended question that was part of a questionnaire focusing on teachers' attitudes towards school lunch as a pedagogical activity. It was found that participating teachers saw the potential of the school lunch, placing emphasis on the social interaction that takes place in the school restaurant and the possibility of meeting pupils in a more informal setting. However, a key outcome was teachers' depictions of the struggle between ideals and reality with the effect that teachers were not always provided with favourable conditions for school lunch interactions. It is important to address this in order to improve meal-time practices and the experience of school lunch.

Abstract

The effects of academic achievement may extend beyond economic success to influence social functioning, including future parenting. To evaluate whether adolescent academic achievement forecasts future parenting (both positive and negative) and the family home environment of parents. We used prospectively gathered intergenerational data from a population‐based birth cohort born in 1972/1973 in Dunedin, New Zealand, including data from Generation 1 (parents of the birth cohort), the birth cohort (Generation 2; G2), and G2's children (Generation 3). Adolescent academic achievement in G2 was used to predict observed and reported parenting outcomes when offspring (G3) were aged 3 years after controlling for a range of covariates, including G2's adolescent wellbeing, early childhood socioeconomic status (collected from G1), and G2's age at child's birth. We also evaluated 2‐way interactions between academic achievement and G2 parent sex, G3 child behaviour, and G2 adolescent wellbeing. Greater G2 academic achievement, net of controls, predicted more positive and less negative parenting (for mothers only), and a more positive home environment. For the home environment outcome, the effect of adolescent academic achievement was moderated by wellbeing. Adolescent academic achievement may positively influence parenting behaviour and the quality of the home environment. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Background: In cancer care, contact nurses daily meet people who deal with strong,aversive emotions in relation to that they have or may have cancer where the risk ofdying is constantly present. This places demands on the ability of contact nurses tomaster difficult conversations with strong emotional expressions. One communicationmethod known for its regulating effects on emotions is affirmative communication, socalled validation. The overall aim of the current study was to evaluate effects of atraining in validating communication for contact nurses in cancer care, aimed tostrengthen their ability to work in a person-centered way.Methods: This study had a within-group design with pre-, post- and follow-up mea-surements (2 months). Specifically, the study aimed to evaluate whether the vali-dation training coincided with an increase in validation and a decrease in invalidation.Contact nurses from six regions (n ¼ 17) with a generally long work experience as anurse participated in a digital validation training for six weeks (three training sessionsplus three pre-recorded theoretical lectures). Communicative behaviors wereassessed through video-recordings of interactions between the nurses and fictitiouspatients. The videos were encoded by independent coders and analyzed withdependent MANOVA.Results: The contact nurses showed a significant increase in validation and a signif-icant decrease in invalidation after the training. These effects remained at the 2-month follow-up.Conclusions: Experienced healthcare professionals’ affirmative communication skillscan be improved after a brief training in validation.
