"Det virker for meg"! - Kan kunnskap om bruk og brukere av alternativ behandling være relevant for helsetjenesten?
Salamonsen, Anita; Norheim, Arne Johan (Chronicle; Kronikk, 2015-01-15)Forskning utført ved Nasjonalt forskningssenter innen komplementær og alternativ medisin (NAFKAM) viser at alternativ behandling ofte oppleves som et vanskelig tema i møtet mellom lege og pasient. Hvordan kan vi møte denne utfordringen i morgendagens helsevesen? Kan pasienterfaringer utgjøre en del av kunnskapsgrunnlaget? -

Vi anlegger ... -
Embodied health practices:The use of Traditional Healing and Conventional Medicine in a North Norwegian Community
Kiil, Mona Anita; Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2013-11)Scandinavian welfare states like Norway represent a cultural context in which citizens who become ill are supposed to trust and receive health care within the conventional health care system that is officially subsidized and based on biomedical knowledge. Despite this officially initiated health practice, unofficial and non-commercial health practices exist in many North Norwegian communities, ... -
Epistemological challenges in contemporary Western healthcare systems exemplified by people’s widespread use of complementary and alternative medicine
Salamonsen, Anita; Ahlzen, Rolf (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-04-12)Modern Western public healthcare systems offer predominantly publicly subsidized healthcare traditionally based on biomedicine as the most important basis to cure persons who suffer from disorders of somatic or psychiatric nature. To which extent this epistemological position is suitable for this purpose is under scientific debate and challenged by some people’s personal understandings of health and ... -

Mulkins, Andrea; McKenzie, Emily; Balneaves, Lynda; Salamonsen, Anita; Verhoef, Marja (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08-08)Background: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) use is widespread and on the increase among cancer patients. Most research to date has involved a cross-sectional snapshot of CAM use rather than an exploration into the longitudinal, nonlinear treatment trajectories that cancer patients develop. Our aim is to explore and describe different treatment and decision-making pathways that individuals ... -

Health professionals and cancer patients: How to communicate effectively about complementary, integrative and alternative medicine
Salamonsen, Anita; Frenkel, Moshe (Others; Andre, 2016)The use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) in oncology settings is widespread. Improving CAM-related communication within the sphere of conventional cancer care is crucial to patient safety, optimal treatment outcomes and the patient’s trust in healthcare professionals. Studies have revealed, however, that only a few oncologists and physicians feel comfortable discussing CAM ... -
How do we deal with multiple goals for care within an individual patient trajectory? A document content analysis of health service research papers on goals for care
Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold; Gammon, Barbara Deede; Steinsbekk, Aslak; Salamonsen, Anita; Foss, Nina; Ruland, Cornelia; Fønnebø, Vinjar (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-12-10)Objectives: Patients with complex long-term needs experience multiple parallel care processes, which may have conflicting or competing goals, within their individual patient trajectory (iPT). The alignment of multiple goals is often implicit or non-existent, and has received little attention in the literature. Research questions: (1) What goals for care relevant for the iPT can be identified ... -
How to Handle Worsening of Condition during Treatment-Risk Assessment in Homeopathic Practice
Stub, Trine; Salamonsen, Anita; Kristoffersen, Agnete Egilsdatter; Musial, Frauke (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-18)Even though homeopathy is regarded by many as a harmless intervention, homeopathic practice, may not be entirely risk free. Homeopathic aggravation, a concept unique for homeopathy, may impose a particular risk as it allows the health status of the patients to deteriorate before there is an possible improvement. Risk in homeopathy can be divided into direct and indirect risk. Direct risk includes ... -
Hvordan kan vi forstå barns tilfredshet med egen involvering i foreldremekling?
Strandbu, Astrid; Thørnblad, Renee; Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-03-03)I forskningsprosjektet «Høring av barn i mekling» har vi studert meklinger hvor barn og ungdom har vært involvert i meklingsprosessen gjennom en samtale med mekler uten foreldrene til stede. Barn og unge er i all hovedsak svært tilfredse med å delta. Hvordan kan vi forstå denne tilfredsheten? Og hva sier dette om kulturelle kontekster for barndom i dag og barns posisjon i meklingskonteksten? I denne ... -
Hvordan påvirker barns deltakelse foreldremekling? Barns deltakelse som mål og middel
Thørnblad, Renee; Strandbu, Astrid; Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2019-06-19)Barn deltar i økende grad i familievernkontorenes obligatoriske foreldremekling ved samlivsbrudd. Det er i dag en fagpolitisk målsetting i Norge at dette skal bli regelen snarere enn unntaket. På denne måten skal barns rett til å bli hørt innfris. I denne artikkelen undersøkes mekleres erfaringer fra meklingsprosesser der barn har deltatt. Spørsmålet som stilles er: Hva gjør barns deltakelse med ... -
Mapping the risk perception and communication gap between different professionals of healthcare providers in cancer care: a cross-sectional protocol
Stub, Trine; Musial, Frauke; Quandt, Sara A.; Arcury, Thomas A; Salamonsen, Anita; Kristoffersen, Agnete Egilsdatter; Berntsen, Gro Karine Rosvold (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-03)Introduction: Studies show that patients with cancer who use complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) have a poorer survival prognosis than those who do not. It remains unclear whether this is due to a priori poorer prognosis that makes patients turn to CAM, or whether there is a factor associated with CAM use itself that influences the prognosis negatively. Healthcare providers should assist ... -

Salamonsen, Anita (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-02-19)Studies of the widespread use of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) demonstrate that CAM users relate to both subjective, experience-based knowledge and medical knowledge in treatment decisions. The aim of this study was to explore lay and medical risk perceptions associated with CAM and conventional medicine.<br> <b>Patients and Methods</b> Twenty-five Norwegian users of CAM who ... -

Salamonsen, Anita; Kruse, Tove Elisabeth; Eriksen, Sissel H. (Journal article; Peer reviewed; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2012-09-29)Breast cancer patients are frequent users of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). They often have complex reasons for, and experiences from, their use of CAM. Bodily experiences are important and almost unexplored elements in CAM use. Our aim was to explore the meaning and importance of bodily experiences among breast cancer patients who were using CAM as a supplement or an alternative to ... -

Salamonsen, Anita; Kiil, Mona Anita; Kristoffersen, Agnete Egilsdatter; Stub, Trine; Berntsen, Gro R. (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-08-17)<b>BACKGROUND: </b> The concept of "patient pathways" in cancer care is most commonly understood as clinical pathways, operationalized as standardized packages of health care based on guidelines for the condition in question. In this understanding, patient pathways do not address multimorbidity or patient experiences and preferences. This study explored patient pathways understood as the individual ... -
