Evidence-based practice (EBP) is one of the core skills in nursing, and it has received increased attention in official documentation and parliamentary announcements. The objective of this chapter is to develop knowledge about how EBP can be employed in nursing homes. The chapter is based on the experiences of nursing students during their project work on health promotion and prevention in a nursing home. The data are based on 18 students’ written evaluations of their practical studies, a focus group discussion with 4 of these 18 nursing students, and individual interviews with 4 leaders conducted in 2018. This study shows that both the leaders of the nursing homes and the students themselves acknowledge the need for occupational practice to be evidence-based. Resistance experienced by the nursing home staff may be a barrier to the application of EBP. The students experienced the project work as an opportunity to immerse themselves in a specific and well-defined theme using EBP tools.

This chapter focuses on how nurses should act towards Sámi patients in order to promote cultural safety in meetings with the healthcare system. The method applied is a secondary analysis of interviews of 12 persons, as well as participatory observations. The findings show that there still are barriers between health personnel and Sámi patients due to the historic legacy and lack of knowledge. The barriers can be linguistic challenges, different understandings of an illness’s causes and authority distance due to the notion of the Sámi as inferior human beings.

A major goal of the Child Welfare Services is to provide the best possible support to children in challenging life situations, including cross-cultural children, in Norway. However, there is inadequate knowledge about cross-cultural children’s responsibility taking and its implications for service delivery in Norwegian municipalities. This chapter discusses the importance of increased knowledge of the responsibility-taking practices of cross-cultural children for Municipal Child Welfare Service workers’ service delivery. The authors based the chapter on literature from studies on responsibility-taking experiences of children from Peru, Norway and other countries outside Europe. The literature indicates that many children have responsibilities to work and contribute to the sustenance of their families. Often, the children experienced feelings of identity, belonging and pride in mastering work roles. It is, therefore, difficult to understand the practices of these children as destructive parentification. On the contrary, the expectation that children provide for the upkeep of their families often attracts the destructive parentification label in European countries. Also, we argue that nuanced understanding of cross-cultural children’s responsibility-taking practices and identities may equip Child Welfare Services workers with competence that may enable them to provide the best possible support to cross-cultural children in Norway.
