  Introduction Good nutrition is the foundation of sustainable growth and development among children. The United Nations aims to achieve food security and improve nutrition through its Sustainable Development Goal 2 - Zero Hunger. In close collaboration with local communities and authorities, the Tanga International Competence Centre, Tanzania, supports projects aimed at achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. One of their initiatives, The Banana Project, which is a free school fruit scheme, started in 2011 based on a recognised need for nutritional support among preschool children at a rural school in Tanga District. In the interest of improving nutrition, the free school fruit scheme provides one banana 5 school days a week to each child in the class. This study aimed to explore caregivers’ (parents and/or guardians) and teachers’ experiences with preschool children’s participation in the project, with a specific focus on nutrition and health. Methods This qualitative study was performed in 2017. A total of 16 semistructured indepth interviews with 14 caregivers and 2 teachers of the preschool children participating in the project were conducted. Data were analysed using a hermeneutic perspective. Results Caregivers and teachers of the preschool children participating in the intervention experienced that bananas (1) reduced children’s hunger and nutritional deficiency, (2) increased fruit intake and improved their appetite for other foods, (3) improved their physical health and provided energy, and (4) supported cognitive and socioemotional development. Conclusion These findings indicate that the banana intervention has several benefits to preschool children and has an impact on their families. To improve health and reduce the risk of malnutrition of children in rural Tanzania, The Banana Project can be an recommended as a simple, cost-effective and sustainable health and nutrition promotion initiatives.

  Background Our society is characterized by a general globalization and has become more culturally diverse. This diversity is mirrored in nursing education. Purpose The purpose of the meta-synthesis is to identify and synthesize data from primary, qualitative studies of ethnic minority nursing students' experiences in a nursing program. Method Electronic databases, Medline, Embase, and CINAHL, were searched for studies published in English or Nordic languages from 1980 to February 2020. Results The search generated 1070 unique citations, of which 19 articles met the inclusion criteria. The included studies had a total sample size of 255 students, age range 19–50 years. The participants originated from Asia (65), Africa (53), South America (45), and Eastern Europe (17). Seventy-five students' origins were unknown. The meta-synthesis revealed that participants' experiences were characterized by four main themes: to understand and be understood; the importance of supportive relations; motivated but emotionally distressed; and conflicting cultural expectations. Conclusion Ethnic minority nursing students experienced challenges related to language, socialization, cultural awareness, and relations with educators and other students. To meet the students' needs and increase their graduation rates, educational institutions and supervisors should work to promote and facilitate their integration and provide a good learning environment.

  Background During the past decades, there has been an increase in the number of immigrants to European and Scandinavian countries. This has challenged the health-care systems, which cater to the needs of patients despite their cultural and linguistic barriers, in these countries. Most studies on this topic have focused on the perspectives of health-care providers in delivering their service. The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore how hospitalized Arabic-speaking patients experienced their interaction with the Norwegian health-care system. Methods In-depth interviews with 20 participants and researcher’s participant observation were conducted to explore the idiosyncratic details and ascribed meanings that foreign-born patients attach to their everyday experience of the Norwegian health-care system. Thematic analysis was performed on the transcribed and translated versions of the in-depth interviews. Results The findings of this study indicated three interrelated core themes. Firstly, there exist challenges in understanding and being understood because of linguistic and cultural differences of newly migrated patients. Secondly, some patients missed the holistic and direct care available in their home countries. Finally, patients were satisfied with the Norwegian health-care system because of its compassion, care, and respect toward them as well as advanced health-care equipment. Conclusion Arabic-speaking patients in Norwegian hospitals experienced long waiting times and linguistic problems. Hence, a better and specialized interpreter service may resolve problems emanating from communication within the system and the subsequent delays in treatment. Compassionate care and the feeling of respect and love is the core strength of the Norwegian system as perceived by the patients.

  Sammendrag Den digitale utviklingen går raskt, og det er økende krav til digital kompetanse. Det er behov for digitale løsninger som ivaretar individuelle behov og funksjonsnedsettelser. Duka-PC er en PC som er utviklet spesielt for seniorer, med tanke på brukervennlighet og mulighet for individuell tilpasning. Hensikten med denne studien var å få kunnskap om hvordan seniorer benytter sin Duka-PC, og hvordan dette påvirker deres hverdag og livskvalitet. Studien har en fenomenologisk-hermeneutisk tilnærming. Vi gjennomførte semistrukturerte intervjuer med ni seniorbrukere av Duka-PC. Data ble analysert ved systematisk tekstkondensering. Funnene viser at Duka-PC bidro til mestring i hverdagen samt økt livskvalitet. Bruk av Duka-PC gav deltakerne mulighet for økt deltakelse i samfunnet. Støttetjenesten ble fremhevet som viktig for økt trygghet og mestring. Noen informanter gav uttrykk for bekymring for et samfunn som i økende grad blir digitalisert, og opplevde et økt digitalt skille. Brukervennlig PC (som Duka-PC) med en god støttefunksjon (support og opplæringsarenaer) kan bidra til økt livskvalitet, mestring og digital kompetanse blant seniorer.

  Background: There is an increasing number of people with mental health disorders in the Western world. The most common traditional therapies are conversational therapy and medications. One alternative to traditional therapies is Anthrozoology. Anthrozoology treats the interaction between people and animals, and it shows that animals can be a great contributor to human health and wellness. Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine how people with mental health disorders experience owning a dog. Methods: The chosen design was qualitative, and the methods were interviews and observations of five informants with their dogs. The analysis was conducted with systematic text-condensation. Results: Four main categories emerged: 1. Increased social and physical activity. 2. Supporting relationship. 3. Increased responsibility. 4. Varied response from nurses. Conclusion: People suffering from mental health disorders experience a strong and healing attachment to their dogs. This can be explained by different theories. Nurses require knowledge of the dog's positive impact on people with mental health disorders.

  I Norge er behandlere (leger og psykologer) pålagt å stille diagnose. Hensikten med studien som denne artikkelen bygger på, var å få innsikt i hvilke opplevelser mennesker har av å få og leve med en psykiatrisk diagnose. Funnene er basert på kvalitative intervjuer med fire deltakere som har hatt en psykiatrisk diagnose i fem år eller mer. Studien viser at å ha en psykiatrisk diagnose kan virke inn på hvordan man blir møtt og sett av andre fordi man kan bli objektivert. Samtidig viser den et gap mellom deltakernes opplevelser av seg selv og andres opplevelser av dem. Studien belyser viktigheten av hvilken holdning helsepersonell har til mennesker med psykiatriske lidelser, og hvor avgjørende det er at det blir lagt vekt på brukernes egne erfaringer og ressurser i behandlingen.

  The effect of omega-3 fatty acids on depression is well documented. The purpose of this study was to determine if and how food is used as medicine in psychiatric care, especially how omega-3 fatty acids are used as a supplement in the treatment of depression. This is a pilot study with a qualitative design using questionnaires and interviews among nursing students, tutor nurses and psychiatrists. Three main categories emerged: 1. Nutrition is considered important but few evaluations are made. 2. There was a lack of knowledge of the effects of Omega 3. 3. There was an unclear divisions of responsibility among health personell. A change in knowledge paradigms and clarification of responsibility is called for if food-as-medicine is to take its true place in psychiatric care. It is also necessary to include CAM and holistic perspectives. Further research is needed to determine why health education and health workers do not focus on nutrition therapy in psychiatric care. Further research is also needed to reveal both the patients, the GPs and the CAM practitionaires knowledge and attitude to the use of dietary supplements.

  This paper explores a number of issues associated with the recent increase in nurses choosing to leave the Norwegian health care system in order to become independent practitioners of complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). The paper suggests that in Norway, nurses perceive medical hegemony continues to persist. Nurses perceive restrictions in their ability to develop their professional roles and status. CAM would appear to offer many nurses, the opportunity to develop their clinical skills in an autonomous, egalitarian and more holistic environment

  Title: Complementary and alternative medicine (CAM) is expanding. Does this influence nursing education? Introduction. Due to changes in our society, there is a growing private market for CAM. More than every fourth Norwegian have used CAM and the number is growing. Studies show that nurses are more than average interested in CAM. The nursing education however is built upon state run guidelines and a biomedical understanding of disease and treatment. CAM have not been reflected in nursing curricula. From the year 2002 there is however one sentence in the national guidelines that give nursing education the opportunity to present CAM in their curricula. This abstract present how University of Agder, department of Nursing present CAM as part of their nursing curricula and their experience with this topic. Method Analyses of Nursing Curricula. Participant observation during teaching. Conversations with students and teachers. Results: *all students could attend 10 hours of teaching with special focus on CAM legislation, holistic nursing, acupuncture, homeopathy, reflexology and the use of TT. *students with special interest could choose a 1 week course in CAM. This week included oral presentations, demonstrations and a possibility to learn a simple technique in aromatherapy. *there were problems finding competent teachers and discussions on what kind of competence was needed. *some students were educated CAM practitioners before attending nursing. *there were problems finding good literature in Norwegian. Conclusions. Some few students did not see the relevance of CAM in nursing and did not attend the lessons. When students could choose among 5 different topics in their last semester, CAM were the most attracted course (70 out of 200 students selected this course). Students valued strongly the possibility to learn and practice aromatherapy. Courses for developing teachers competence are needed.

  Undersøkelser viser at sykepleiere har en positiv holdning til alternativ behandling og at flere og flere sykepleiere selv utdanner seg til alternative behandlere (Sykepleien nr. 17, 1998. www.sfa.no1). For å få innsikt i hvorfor det er slik, gjennomførte jeg et feltarbeid blant ?alternative sykepleiere? i en periode fra 1998 til 2003. Dette munnet ut i en dr. grads avhandling med tittel: ?Hvorfor velger offentlig godkjente sykepleiere å tilby alternativ behandling - og hvordan kan man forstå valgene?? (Johannessen 2006). I avhandlingen presenteres flere svar på spørsmålet. Et svar var at de valgte alternativt for å kunne arbeide holistisk, et annet var et ønske om å ha fokus på selvrealisering, et tredje var behov for en sterkere profesjonell identitet og et fjerde var ønsket om å være mer selvstendige. Mange hadde dessuten positive erfaringer med alternativ behandling for sykdom i eget liv, noe som kunne være av stor betydning for deres valg.
