"I felt so small": A qualitative study of migrant nursing assistants' experiences in Norway.

In the wake of an increasingly ageing population, Norway has a growing need for healthcare workers, especially in nursing homes. This study explored the employment experiences of migrant nursing assistants working in elderly care in Norway. A qualitative interview-based study was carried out between March and August 2020. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were performed with 13 purposively selected immigrant nursing assistants working in a nursing home within Western Norway. Data were thematically analysed. Migrant nursing assistants working in Norwegian elderly care faced mixed experiences. On the one hand, study participants experienced several barriers in their workplace, resulting from insufficient command of the Norwegian language, heavy workload and mistreatment and discrimination by both patients and colleagues. On the other hand, participants cited the financial compensation from work, the meaningfulness derived from helping others and the flexible day-off requests as workplace facilitators. Participants also made continuous efforts to learn the Norwegian language and to build good relations with their co-workers. There is a need to enhance migrant nursing assistants' positive experiences in the Norwegian eldercare sector by making targeted workplace reforms and fostering a supportive and inclusive environment.

Patient-clinician interactions in shared diabetes/nephrology consultations - A qualitative observation study.

The incidence of chronic disease is increasing worldwide which, in turn, increases the demand for healthcare services. To meet these demands, healthcare systems are adapting their services in order to reduce treatment costs and ensure coherence for patients with multiple diseases. One form of adaptation is shared outpatient consultations between internal medical specialties. However, little is known about how patients interact with multiple clinicians in shared consultations. This project aimed to explore how patients with diabetes and chronic kidney disease interact with multiple clinicians in a shared outpatient setting. We performed a qualitative ethnographic study, combining focused participant observations with informal field interviews. We included 17 participants, nine males and eight females with a mean age of 67.3 in the project. The data analysis was guided by Braun and Clarke's reflexive thematic analysis and Arthur Kleinman's theory of illness and disease. We found one over-arching theme: 'A consultation which encompassed both illness and disease' and four subthemes: (1) 'The medical focal point' pertained to the focus on physiological measurements in dialogue between patients and clinicians. (2) 'The possibility of negotiations' illustrated how decisions about dialysis and pharmacological treatment were based on negotiations. (3) 'Speaking different languages' displayed how patients used alternative illness-based explanations whereas clinicians tended to use biomedical language. (4) 'Perceptions of everyday life' concerned what patients considered was best for them when managing their illness and everyday lives. Patients present information on how they balance life with physiological and psychosocial challenges. When clinicians employ a biomedical perspective, opportunities to gain information on patients' illness behaviours or cues to negotiate are missed. Patients prioritise functioning on a daily level over following treatment regimes. These findings are tenuous and require verification in similar studies in similar settings.
