    • Vi har efterhånden fundet vores egne ben som forældre: Forældreskab og sundhedspleje i spændingsfeltet mellem velfærdsstat og privatsfære 

      Haslund, Helle; Risør, Mette Bech (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018)
      Der er særligt gennem de sidste 50 år sket en intensivering af et børnecentreret forældre-skab, som i stigende omfang er orienteret mod børns sundhed og udvikling, hvor brug af ekspertråd er centralt. Præmature børn befinder sig i en forhøjet risiko for komplikationer relateret til sundhed, trivsel og udvikling, og de er ved fødslen oftest med forældrene ind-lagt gennem en periode på en hospitalsafdeling ...

    • ‘What do you think?’ the collaborative practices of choice and care in a Danish obstetric ultrasound unit. 

      Lou, Stina; Nielsen, Camilla Palmhøj; Hvidman, Lone; Petersen, Olav Bjørn; Risør, Mette Bech (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-10-02)
      This paper is based on ethnographic fieldwork at an obstetric ultrasound unit in Denmark and explores the few, intense minutes of clinical interaction following a high-risk screening result for Down’s syndrome. The category of high-risk transforms the routine ultrasound into a situation of inescapable choice, where the health of the fetus is questioned and decisions must be made. The clinical ...

    • What is called symptom? 

      Eriksen, Thor Eirik; Risør, Mette Bech (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      There is one concept in medicine which is prominent, the symptom. The omnipresence of the symptom seems, however, not to be reflected by an equally prominent curiosity aimed at investigating this concept as a phenomenon. In classic, traditional or conventional medical diagnostics and treatment, the lack of distinction with respect to the symptom represents a minor problem. Faced with enigmatic ...

    • Why do physicians lack engagement with smoking cessation treatment in their COPD patients? A multinational qualitative study 

      Van Eerd, Eva A.M.; Risør, Mette Bech; Spigt, Marcus; Godycki-Ćwirko, Maciek; Andreeva, Elena; Francis, Nick; Wollny, Anja; Melbye, Hasse; van Schayck, Onno; Kotz, Daniel (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-06-23)
      Smoking cessation is the only effective intervention to slow down the accelerated decline in lung function in smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Nevertheless, physicians often do not routinely provide evidence-based smoking cessation treatment to their patients. To understand underlying reasons, we explored how physicians engage in smoking cessation treatment in their chronic ...
