    Designing timespaces for Buen Vivir at home: body-place-Earth2025Doctoral thesis, monograph (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    This work invites a re-examination of conceptions of home, design, and sustainability, emphasizing the interconnected relationships between the body, place, and Earth, and seeking to inspire relational approaches to design and homemaking. Its key contribution lies in the practice of relationality, informed by the Andean cosmology of Buen Vivir and exploring diverse, situated opportunities for its understanding and application at home. This perspective offers valuable insights for design researchers seeking to decolonize their processes and practices while engaging with Indigenous wisdom. While this work primarily focuses on Buen Vivir, it underscores the importance of recognizing and valuing Indigenous ways of being in, knowing, and relating to the world. Buen Vivir embodies the idea of living in harmony with all beings and nature through principles such as relationality, complementarity, and reciprocity. Rooted in the cosmovision (worldview) of Indigenous communities in the Andean territories of South America, it positions humans as stewards rather than owners of the living territory and the Earth (Gudynas, 2011). Buen Vivir encompasses diverse ways of being, relating, and knowing the world, all practised in deep connection to territories and their species. Through its principles and diverse adaptations, it offers alternative narratives, practices, and imaginaries that can shift priorities and help to redefine approaches to design and homemaking. Influenced by decolonial and feminist perspectives, this PhD research advocates for relational, intuitive, and care-full participatory design practices to address socioecological challenges. Drawing on the experiences of homemakers in various locations, particularly in Vaxjo, Sweden, and Medellin, Colombia, the research illustrates how relationality is already practised or can be meaningfully integrated into everyday home life, extending its relevance beyond the Andes. The research positions the scale of everyday home life as an inspirational starting point for fostering relational and sustainable change, offering valuable insights for design researchers in participatory and decolonial design aiming to contribute to planetary health while transforming their own practices. This work reimagines the programmatic research approach by emphasizing the relationship with one’s body and recognizing diverse ways of knowing. Additionally, it proposes a series of companion practices as practical methods for engaging in relationality with the body, within places, and for the Earth.

    Abstract [en]

    Although people may make sense of concepts like ‘talent’ and get influenced through discourses reinforced in the media, not much research has investigated the construction of ‘talent’ in the media or in relation to football, yet. By applying Laclau and Mouffe’s discourse-theoretical analysis and aspects of quantitative content analysis to forty-four news articles, this study compares how German and Swedish media construct and reinforce discourses of ‘talent’ in football. The findings suggest that cross-cultural media share common reference points in shaping discourses on ‘football talent’. However, these nodal points are allocated and formed in distinct ways within each country, thus constituting floating signifiers. The study unveils that ‘talent’ constitutes an empty concept within and across specific cultural settings. Nonetheless, the conceptual notions surrounding talent seems more uniform in Swedish media compared to Germany. Moreover, gender disparities in the context of ‘football talent’ discourses predominantly link talent with male football players.

    Abstract [en]

    This case study explored the perceptions and utilisation of data-driven methods of coaches, scouts, and a sporting manager overseeing the U8-U14 unit of a German Bundesliga academy. It comprised seven semi-structured interviews and employed thematic analysis to unravel the complexities of talent identification, selection and development (TISD). The findings provide highly contextual insights into practices and perceptions of key stakeholders within the context of academy football. Technology and data-driven methods were restricted to anthropometric measurements and automated video evaluations. Nonetheless, informants recognised the potential of data-driven methods, such as AI, to enhance TISD practices and decision-making. Financial constraints did not pose a barrier, however, challenges, such as limited expertise and insufficient time for data interpretation, hindered the wider adoption of data-driven strategies and technologies. It is suggested that training staff in data interpretation and investing in skilled personnel could improve the effective use of new technologies and enhance player development. Legal regulations, such as the General Data Protection Regulations, were perceived as potential hurdles to adopt innovative methods. Moreover, demographic dynamics, particularly younger staff, are believed to positively influence technological adoption. The need for further research to explore how organisational dynamics and data protection laws impact the adoption and effectiveness of data-driven methods in football academies was suggested.

    The patient's perspective on colonoscopy: Development and evaluation of a patient-reported experience measure2025Doctoral thesis, comprehensive summary (Other academic)
    Abstract [en]

    Aim. To explore patients’ experiences before, during and after a colonoscopy andto develop and psychometrically evaluate a colonoscopy-specific patientreportedexperience measure.

    Methods. Patients who had undergone a colonoscopy for the first time wereinterviewed about their experiences of the procedure in Study I. The interviewswere analysed using thematic analysis. In Study II, a systematic literature reviewwas conducted by including 13 studies of a qualitative design that described howadult patients experienced colonoscopy, and meta-ethnography was used forsynthesis. In addition, triangulation was used to explore similarities anddifferences between existing colonoscopy-specific patient-reported experiencemeasures (PREMs), and a conceptual model was created describing theexperiences of adult patients before, during and after colonoscopy. Based onStudies I and II, a new colonoscopy-specific PREM was developed in Study III, first through operationalisation and then by evaluating its content validity usingface validity, cognitive interviews and a content validity index. Patients andhealthcare professionals with colonoscopy experience were involved in the development process. Study IV, finally, evaluated both the reliability of the colonoscopy-specific PREM developed in Study III, using intraclass correlation coefficients, and its construct validity, using confirmatory factor analysis and multi- and unidimensional Rasch analyses.

    Results. In Study I, adult patients’ experiences of first-time colonoscopy were described and presented in a thematic map with four main themes: ‘making up one’s mind’, ‘getting ready’, ‘going through’ and ‘finally over’. In Study II a conceptual model was developed consisting of five concepts: health motivation, discomfort, information, a caring relationship and understanding, and three time periods: before, during and after. No existing colonoscopy-specific PREM had items that fully reflected the conceptual model (Study II). A new colonoscopy-specific PREM was therefore developed and named the Patient Experience Colonoscopy Scale (PECS) in Study III. The constructs and the initial 77 items were derived from the conceptual model. The content validity of the PECS wasconfirmed to be relevant by healthcare professionals and, most importantly, bypatients from the target population in Study III. In Study IV, the test-retest reliability values were interpreted as acceptable. In addition, the combined result of the construct validity evaluation showed acceptable values, supporting the structure of the PECS (Study IV). After psychometric evaluation, 30 PREM items remained.

    Conclusion. Patients’ experiences of colonoscopy are individual and the ability of healthcare professionals to meet patients’ needs is vital (Study I). Colonoscopy-specific patient experiences are, furthermore, multidimensional, and they were visualised in a conceptual model that was not reflected in any existing PREMs (Study II). The PECS is a developed PREM based on a theoretical understanding of the patients’ experiences of colonoscopy, and its content validity was shown to be relevant (Study III). Psychometric evaluation of the reliability and construct validity of the PECS showed acceptable measurement properties in a Swedish population of adults who had undergone at least one colonoscopy (Study IV). Future clinical use of the instrument will show whether potential areas for improvement need to be addressed. The PECS is now ready for use in clinical practice and research, facilitating the collection of the patient perspective on colonoscopy.

    Abstract [en]

    Although colonoscopy is a common examination, there is limited research focusing on how patients experience this procedure. It is important that a colonoscopy is tolerated, as it may lead to lifesaving diagnostics and treatment. This study aims to explore adult patients' experience of undergoing a colonoscopy regarding the time prior to, during, and after the procedure. This was a qualitative study with individual interviews (n = 24) and a purposeful sample that was analyzed using thematic analysis. The analysis revealed four themes. The first, "making up one's mind," describes how the participants gathered information and reflected emotionally about the forthcoming procedure. The hope of clarification motivated them to proceed. In the theme "getting ready," self-care was in focus while the participants struggled to follow the instructions and carry out the burdensome cleansing. The next theme, "going through," illuminates' experiences during the colonoscopy and highlights the importance of feeling involved and respected. The last theme, "finally over," is characterized by experiences of relief, tiredness, and a desire for clarity. The healthcare professionals' ability to meet the participants' needs is vital, given that the experiences are highly individual. These findings contribute to a variegated image of how patients experience the process of undergoing a colonoscopy.

    Abstract [en]

    Patient experience is defined as a major quality indicator that should be routinely measured during and after a colonoscopy, according to current ESGE guidelines. There is no standard approach measuring patient experience after the procedure and the comparative performance of the different colonoscopy-specific patient-reported experience measures (PREMs) is unclear. Therefore, the aim was to develop a conceptual model describing how patients experience a colonoscopy, and to compare the model against colonoscopy-specific PREMs. A systematic search for qualitative research published up to December 2021 in PubMed, Cochrane, CINAHL, and PsycINFO was conducted. After screening and quality assessment, data from 13 studies were synthesised using meta-ethnography. Similarities and differences between the model and colonoscopy-specific PREMs were identified. A model consisting of five concepts describes how patients experience undergoing a colonoscopy: health motivation, discomfort, information, a caring relationship, and understanding. These concepts were compared with existing PREMs and the result shows that there is agreement between the model and existing PREMs for colonoscopy in some parts, while partial agreement or no agreement is present in others. These findings suggest that new PREMs for colonoscopy should be developed, since none of the existing colonoscopy-specific PREMs fully cover patients' experiences.

    Abstract [en]

    BackgroundIn endoscopic care, favourable patient experiences before, during and after a colonoscopy are essential for the patient's willingness to repeat the procedure. To ensure that significant experiences are measured, patients should be involved in creating the measurement instruments. Thus, the aim of the present study was to develop a colonoscopy-specific PREM by (1) operationalising patient experiences before, during and after a colonoscopy procedure and (2) evaluating its content validity.MethodsThe colonoscopy-specific PREM was developed in two stages: (1) operationalisation with item generation and (2) content validity testing. A previously developed conceptual model, based on a systematic literature review that illustrates patients' (n = 245) experiences of undergoing a colonoscopy, formed the theoretical basis. To assess the degree to which the PREM reflected patients' experiences before, during and after a colonoscopy procedure, content validity was tested-through face validity with healthcare professionals (n = 4) and cognitive interviews with patients (n = 14) having experienced a colonoscopy. Content validity index (CVI) was calculated to investigate the relevance of the items.ResultsThe Patient Experience Colonoscopy Scale (PECS) is a colonoscopy-specific PREM consisting of five different constructs: health motivation, discomfort, information, a caring relationship and understanding. Each construct was defined and generated into a pool of items (n = 77). After face-validity assessment with healthcare professionals, a draft 52-item version of the PECS was ready for content validity testing by the patients. During cognitive interviews the patients contributed valuable insights that led to rewording and removal of items. Results from the CVI suggest that the PECS and its content are relevant (I-CVI range 0.5-1, S-CVI/Ave = 0.86). The final PECS consists of 30 items representing a colonoscopy-specific PREM.ConclusionThe PECS is a new 30-item PREM instrument designed for adult elective colonoscopy patients after they have undergone the procedure. Each item in the PECS derives from a conceptual model based on a systematic literature review. Patients and healthcare professionals were involved in developing the PECS, which measures colonoscopy-specific patient experiences before, during and after the procedure. The content validity testing positively contributed to the development of the PECS. Psychometric properties need to be evaluated further.
