Jacek Hochwälder's research while affiliated with Mälardalen University and other places

... Previous studies (Håkansson Eklund et al., 2019;Sacks et al., 2018) highlighted the need for continued research into the development of empathy and compassionate caring behaviors in nurses' education and training. However, some studies reported a general decline in empathy across students in various health sciences courses over the duration of training, including nursing, dentistry, pharmacy, and medicine (Nunes et al., 2011;Sherman & Cramer, 2005). ...

... A salutogenic theory by Aaron Antonovsky (1979) is a model pertaining to the sources of health, aiming to complement the pathogenic models (Hochwälder, 2019) which concentrate on the disease and its antecedents (Mittelmark et al., 2017). The basic assumptions of the salutogenic model are that: (1) humans constantly need to deal with stimuli (stressors) which cause an imbalance state (heterostasis); (2) if a person cannot cope with the stimuli, it may cause a state of entropydisease and/or disorder (Antonovsky, 1987; see also Hochwälder, 2019). ...

... CF and AA enabled this period to result in success although on previous study (Fürstenberg et al., 2019) analyzing the impact of AA on CR in medical education showed that achievement level of the students had no effect on the quality of CR. However, our study showed some similar results with various studies regarding the positive impact of AA (Elvén, 2019;Groves et al., 2003;Kim & Ko, 2015;Kuiper & Pesut 2004) and of CF (Durning et al., 2015;Simmons, 2010) on CR. Similarly, our study results also correlate with the results of the previous studies (Benner et al., 1997;Boaden & Leaviss 2000;Shafaroodi et al., 2014;Smith et al., 2008) that examine the impact of teamwork on CR. ...

... Stress arises when individuals see the tasks exciding their ability to be completed (Peciuliene, Perminas, Gustainiene, & Valiune, 2015). According to Hochwälder and Saied (2018) intensity of daily hassles experienced by female students ais higher than male students student and have to spend more time on household chores on weekdays and more time on weekends (Cosp & Román, 2018). ...

... Internal consistency was explored using both a construct reliability (CR) test and Cronbach's alpha test for reliability. CR values above 0.7 are deemed acceptable (21,22). ...

... Cognitions and behavioral intentions to act in a certain way are key in clinical reasoning and they strongly predict the clinical behaviors of health professionals [22], thus higher scores in clinical reasoning measurements implies better clinical skills. The Reasoning 4 Change instrument (R4C) [23,24] is, to the best of our knowledge, the only existing clinical reasoning instrument focusing on client's behavior change. The R4C instrument is built on a solid theoretical base [10] and established design of clinical reasoning assessments [25]. ...

... In addition, we found that physical and psychological changes were most highly correlated with QOL, followed by changes in family life. Tese fndings were similar to the fndings of the study conducted in Tailand by Manasatchakun et al. [41], who showed that family relationships and physiological conditions had a higher correlation with healthy aging. ...

... Antonovsky's theory of salutogenesis shows that human health can be affected by individual and work-related factors [8,23,24]. Masanotti et al. conducted a wide-ranging literature review and found SOC to be a predictor of depression, professional burnout and dissatisfaction with work among nurses [25][26][27]. The findings of a study conducted by Betke et al. confirmed that the sense of coherence promotes health in a stressful work environment -a high sense of coherence in nurses translates into better mental health, proper functioning in the work environment and following adaptative strategies of coping with stress [28]. ...

... These resources were modelled around published evidence, strengthened by the expert panel's shared knowledge and experience. 54,55 A new patient questionnaire, sufficiently specific to determine individual patient barriers to adherence was created. Secondly, a decision tree was designed to assist clinician's efforts to systematically address each patient barrier to the target behavior. ...

... Antonovsky stated that health status could influence SOC. However, recent papers have reported that SOC is a causal variable, moderator, or mediator of health status [31,32], and could not be predicted by other psychological factors [33]. The effects of SOC on mental health are thought to act through two mechanisms. ...
