  Denne studien er en dokumentstudie som ser nærmere på hvordan vedtak om såkalt fortrolig og strengt fortrolig sikkerhets- og beskyttelsestiltak blir begrunnet av barneverns- og helsenemnda. Til tross for at det er få vedtak som aktualiserer bruk av sikkerhets- og beskyttelsestiltak etter barnevernsloven, har denne studien identifisert flere forhold som kan være av betydning for barnets rettssikkerhet, når barnet bor på skjult adresse. Gjennom innholdsanalyse ble det identifisert tre kategorier som synliggjør kompleksiteten ved slike avgjørelser: begrunnelse for skjult adresse, når søsken trenger ulik grad av sikring, og forholdet mellom skjult adresse og annen kontaktregulering. Studien drøfter implikasjonene av funnenes betydning for praksis.

  Flere tidligere studier har omhandlet barnets rett til medvirkning i rettslige beslutningsprosesser i barnevernssaker både nasjonalt og internasjonalt. Denne studien skiller seg fra tidligere studier ved at det rettes fokus mot betydningen av barnets uttalte mening som del av beslutningsgrunnlaget når Barneverns- og helsenemnda vurderer sak om omsorgsovertakelse. Studien baserer seg på intervju med nemndsledere tilhørende ulike nemndsregioner. Det tematisk-analytiske arbeidet genererte tre overordnede tema som bidrar til å forstå betydningen av barns medvirkning i beslutningsprosesser: forståelse og praktisering av medvirkning, betydningen av alder og modenhet, og vekting av barnets mening som del av beslutningsgrunnlaget. Studien reiser spørsmål knyttet til hvordan nemndslederne forstår og forvalter barns medvirkningsrett.

  When a child is placed in public care, digital platforms create an arena for the child and parents to stay updated on each other’s lives while living apart. However, contact through digital platforms can be unpredictable for some children, resulting in unintended adverse consequences and undermining the placement’s stability. In this context, it is not uncommon for children and parents to have contact through social media or other digital platforms, also known as ‘virtual visitation’. To ensure that restrictions on contact will provide the child with the necessary protection, knowing the child’s navigation and access to digital platforms may provide an understanding of potential contact forms and the need for protection. Based on an online questionnaire addressed to Child Welfare Services in Norway, this study reports on 196 child welfare workers’ views as to what extent children’s navigation on digital platforms is included as part of the professional assessment of the regulation of visitation rights between a child and his or her parents after a care order is issued. The findings indicate a minimal consideration of the child’s access to digital media and their navigation on social media when assessing the regulation of contact rights. The findings from this study highlight the need for a new understanding of the possible connection between virtual and physical visitations after a care order is issued. Protecting children involves professionals understanding and assessing new communication and socialization patterns in which children participate. It is not merely a question of learning how to use digital platforms; it is also a question of professional development and new ways of working with children in public care when meetings between people increasingly take place digitally.

Measuring students’ self-efficacy and emotional states in simulation based education as a pedagogical design in health and welfare studies . Show summary

  Introduction: Increased demands on new and more diverse skills are changing the roles and responsibilities in the health and welfare professions, and personnel are expected to perform professionally in a variety of domains and apply new knowledge (Falck-Eriksen et al., 2019; Leonardsen et al., 2018). This creates new challenges for the curriculum and pedagogical methods in health and welfare studies. To meet the demands of applied theoretical knowledge and prepare students for their future role as professional, the use of simulation-based education (SBE) has become an important part of institutions that provide academic majors in health and welfare studies. Increasing skills can have a potentially reciprocal relation to the development of self-efficacy (Gloudemans et al, 2013; Bandura 1997), and that awareness of one’s own physiological and emotional states can promote self-efficacy and adaptation ability (van Dinther et al, 2011; Bandura, 1995). Description: In this descriptive study, we investigated the impact of SBE on development of self-efficacy and on changes in physiological and emotional states. The students represented four different academic major programs in health and welfare (nurse, social educator, child-welfare, work educator) and at different educational level (bachelor, master, post-graduate). Simulation scenarios in the study included a variety of domains adapted to the students’ learning outcomes, e.g. vital signs in circulation, respiration and elimination, pre-operative communication, post-operative situations, mobilization, conflict control communication, sepsis, execution of child welfare, advanced assessment competence and supported employment. To measure students emotional states, a self-assessment manikin (SAM) both initial and after simulation performance was implemented (Bradley & Lang, 1994). In addition, measuring situational self-efficacy before and after the simulation, two items were constructed with a modification. Before simulation, participants were asked ‘How well do you think you will be able to do on the task?’ followed by ‘How confident are you about this?’ After simulation, participants were asked, ‘How well do you think you did on the task?’ followed by ‘How confident are you about this?’ Discussion: Preliminary results show that the effect of simulation on self-efficacy could be influenced by physiological and emotional states and that there are both similarities and differences across the students groups at different studies and educational level. These findings improve our understanding of the effects of SBE on students’ self-perceived skills and the emotional states. The findings influence our thinking of the students’ learning processes and have an impact on how to design future educational methods and assessments. References Bandura, A.
