    • "Are You Saying She's Mentally Ill Then?" Explaining Medically Unexplained Seizures in Clinical Encounters 

      Robson, Catherine; Lian, Olaug S (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-01)
      Bodily phenomena that are difficult to identify, localize, explain and cure with the aid of modern biomedical knowledge and technology leave ample room for cultural influence. That makes them a perfect case for studying the cultural dimension of medical knowledge and practice. Building on this assumption we qualitatively explore the communication between neurologists and women with seizure disorders ...

    • “Blaming, shaming, humiliation”: Stigmatising medical interactions among people with non-epileptic seizures. 

      Robson, Catherine; Lian, Olaug S (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017-07-24)
      Background: People with non-epileptic seizures (NES) describe difficult and challenging relationships with health professionals, and explain negative interactions as common and expected. Despite these difficulties, little is known about how people with NES experience healthcare encounters. Methods: Using a thematic discourse analysis approach, we analysed the free-text survey responses of 135 ...

    • Health related quality of life of people with non-epileptic seizures: The role of socio-demographic characteristics and stigma 

      Robson, Catherine; Myers, Lorna; Pretorius, Chrisma; Lian, Olaug S; Reuber, Marcus (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-01-12)
      <p><i>Purpose</i>: People with non-epileptic seizures (NES) consistently report poorer Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) than people with epilepsy. Yet, unlike in epilepsy, knowledge of how social factors influence the HRQoL of adults with NES is limited. To add to the evidence base, this study explores the relationship between HRQoL and perceived stigma among adults with NES, and the role of ...

    • ”It´s incredible how much I´ve had to fight.” Negotiating medical uncertainty in clinical encounters. 

      Lian, Olaug S; Robson, Catherine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-10-24)
      Purpose: Clinical encounters related to medically unexplained physical symptoms (MUPS) are associated with high levels of conflict between patients and doctors. Collaborative difficulties are fused by the medical uncertainty that dominates these consultations. The main aim of this study is to explore the interactional dynamics of clinical encounters riddled by medical uncertainty, as experienced by ...

    • Socially constructed and structurally conditioned conflicts in territories of medical uncertainty 

      Lian, Olaug S; Robson, Catherine (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-11-27)
      In territories of medical uncertainty, clinical encounters are highly contentious. To uncover maintaining mechanisms behind persistent conflicts, we explore the interactional dynamics of clinical encounters fused with medical uncertainty. Based on a thematic qualitative analysis of experiential texts from 385 people living with medically unexplained physical symptoms in Norway, UK, Ireland, USA and ...

    • Women With Long-Term Exhaustion in Fictional Literature: A Comparative Approach 

      Lian, Olaug S; Robson, Catherine; Bondevik, Hilde (Chapter; Bokkapittel, 2017)
      The main theme of this essay is depictions of long-term exhaustion, a severe form of tiredness, in historical and contemporary fictional literature. Tiredness and exhaustion are real both in a biological and in an experiential sense: the phenomena entail experiences of biological processes that go on in the human body. In this paper, however, it is the cultural dimension of these phenomena that ...
