Pre-conference April 19th 2017

​The European Academy of Caring Science (EACS) is a collaboration of member institutions with the collective intention of taking forward caring science from a European perspective. The Academy affords an opportunity to work together as individuals or in groups under the auspices of the founding organizations with the aim of generating skills, values and beliefs in a concentrated effort to improve health and social care provision.  Through this conference we intend to share our knowledge and understanding of 'caring' and how it will impact on the different levels of wellbeing and caring in changing times.  The conference will focus on wellbeing at a) the individual (both personal and professional) and b) at the policy level of the population. Further information is available at www.eacs.nu

A top priority for Nordic College of Caring Science (NCCS) is to develop and disseminate caring science research and education both nationally and internationally through networking and collaboration. By participating in this conference, coordinated by Nord University, EACS and NCCS, you get involved in this development and learn more about transforming wellbeing and caring for people in a changing time, from a caring science perspective.  Further information is available at www.nccs.nu

New Registration deadline for all participants. New deadline is March 20.
Registration deadline for all presenters is January 25 (After this date via e- mail to lisuhr@hst.aau.dk)

Abstract
Promoting wellbeing and caring during challenging times – can we do it?

Professor Marit Kirkevold, Department of Nursing Science, Institute of Health and Society, University of Oslo.

We are currently witnessing a number of significant changes within the health care field. There are many reasons for these changes, including demographic and social changes and changes in the nature and distribution of diseases and illnesses. In addition, organizational and structural changes within the health care system and issues related to recruitment and retention of qualified health care personnel impact significantly on our opportunity and ability to promote wellbeing through caring. Changes in the relationships between patients, family carers and professional caregivers also challenge us to reconsider what caring entails and how to promote wellbeing. In my presentation I will draw on research that provides insights into how some of these changes create challenges in terms of promoting wellbeing and discuss implications for caring.  In particular, I will reflect on studies that have sought to address the issue of promoting wellbeing and caring in the challenging times we are now living through.

Pre-conference committee:
Hanna Holst, Ph.D. student, Linnaeus University
Hanne Mørkenborg Bové, Ph.D. student, Aarhus University
Clare Gordon, Ph.D. student, Bournemouth University
Ulrica Hörberg, Associate Professor, Linnaeus University
 
The day before the conference a pre-seminar has been arranged, mainly for Ph.D. students. The pre-seminar will comprise two workshops from Professor Terese Bondas and Professor Kate Galvin, facilitated by PhD students.

We present this pre-seminar as an opportunity to learn from each other while discussing well-being based on an existential theory and how action research from a caring science perspective, creates new knowledge of care and caring.

The pre-seminar will be held on 19th April 13:00 to17:00 hrs, including a break for coffee/tea.

Workshop 1 – 13:00 to 15:00 hrs
Room A126
 
Title: ACTION RESEARCH - from a Caring science perspective

Professor Terese Bondas, PhD, LicHSc, MHSc, RN, PHN
Nord University, Faculty of Nursing and Health Sciences, Norway

Abstract
While most methodological approaches have been created for new knowledge development, action research as a complex and varied approach is characterized also by collaboration and development. The health care organization and the persons involved, participate in circles of action and reflection in collaborative research together with the research(ers). Action research creates new knowledge of care and caring, improves care practices and enhances communion. Action research has the potential to develop and turn abstract concepts into real world caring practices. The take home message of action research, its possibilities and challenges in caring science development in theory and practice, will be presented and discussed.

Biography
Terese Bondas is a Professor of Nursing Science at Nord University, Norway. She has her education from Åbo Akademi University, Finland. She has initiated and leads the qualitative research network - Childbearing in Europe, former Barnafødande i Norden (www. Nord.no/bfin). Terese is a member of the workgroup of the Norwegian Research School in Community Health Care-MUNI HC. Terese conducts research in the areas of childbearing, leadership and caring culture, and development of qualitative methods, especially action research and metasynthesis.
 

Workshop 2 – 15:00 to 17:00 hrs
Room A126

Title: Well-being as dwelling - mobility: An existential theory

Professor Kathleen Galvin, University of Brighton, UK

Abstract
In this workshop an opportunity to explore an existential theory of well-being that is guided by phenomenological philosophy will be offered. We will begin with the question: What is well-being as a human experience? This will be followed by an exploration of the absence of well-being and how well-being and suffering are always related. Participants will be able to engage with illustrations from phenomenological philosophical writing, poems, images from art and film as one way to explore a shared sense of well-being and to imagine a range of dimensions including when well-being is absent. Together these ideas can underpin a resource for caring and this will also form part of the discussion.

Biography
Professor Kathleen Galvin is Professor of Nursing Practice at the University of Brighton where her research explores peoples’ experiences of a range of health issues and using phenomenologically oriented philosophy is developing theoretical frameworks for caring practices and contributions to the ethics of care. Before joining the College of Life, Health and Physical Sciences at Brighton University she held positions as Professor of Nursing Practice and Associate Dean at the University of Hull, UK and Deputy Dean, Bournemouth University, U.K.
