“…Prosjektet tar sikte på å utforske potensialet som ligger i å involvere pårørende som medfortellere av personer med demens sine livsfortellinger. Når det gjelder punkt 4, er det nylig publisert artikler som omhandler brukermedvirkning og samarbeid mellom formelle omsorgsytere og familier til personer med demens (L. S. Larsen et al, 2015a;L. S.

The Sami are the indigenous people of Norway. International conventions and Norwegian law safeguard their rights. This also applies to encounters with the health care services. Within the Sami community, there are individual and local differences with regard to language, culture, and industries. Health care providers must have knowledge about the influence of social, historical, and cultural factors on encounters between Sami individuals and health care services. The official Norwegian health care policy is to provide culturally appropriate health care services to the Sami population within the frames of the established health care services, rather than developing services specific to the Sami population.Health care services are used to the same extent by the Sami and the majority populations. However, the Sami are less satisfied with the services. There are no significant differences between the Sami and the majority populations with regard to health status and incidence of disease. However, literature emphasizes conceptions of health, disease, and treatment as different among the Sami. There are good reasons not to assume this to concern all Sami individuals. Literature emphasizes that the Sami communicate about health and illness in indirect manners and through the use of metaphors. Recent research nuance the prevailing conception that Sami speaking patients prefer to use the Sami language in encounters with health care services. Language preferences are individual and situational. The importance of relatives and traditions for self-help is emphasized in the literature. However, research suggests that more help from the public health care services is requested.Individual and collective experiences of assimilation and stigmatization may influence encounters with health care services. Research does not conclude that such experiences have an impact on self-reported health. The literature illustrates the complexity of the concept of Sami identity.Knowledge about Sami language and culture is important in encounters with persons with dementia. Little research has focused on the living situation for Sami persons with dementia, their relatives, and their interactions with public health care services. Recently, research projects focusing on these issues are initiated.Given the complexity of the Sami population, individual tailoring and local anchoring of initiatives are essential and necessary.

“…I tillegg til at de gjerne snakket samisk selv, opplevde samisk helsepersonell en innside-posisjon som kunne gjøre det lettere å oppnå brukerens tillit. Dette sammenfaller også med annen forskning fra nord-samiske områder (Larsen et al, 2015). Samisk kultur-og språkkompetanse ble gene-relt betraktet som en sårbar kompetanse fordi den var avhengig av ressursene i personalgruppa eller av kommunens kompetansestrategi.…”

“…Although limited, the existing research from Sápmi and from other Indigenous contexts gives reason to question the quality of interactions between formal services and Sámi in need of health and social care [ 13 , 14 ]. The overall aim of this article is therefore to investigate experiences of EoL care and support among the Sámi, both from the Sámi community itself as well as from formalized services in the majority society.…”

A Salutogenic Perspective on End-of-Life Care among the Indigenous Sámi of Northern Fennoscandia

There is limited empirical data about both health and end-of-life (EoL) issues among the Indigenous Sámi of Fennoscandia. We therefore aimed to investigate experiences of EoL care and support among the Sámi, both from the Sámi community itself as well as from more formalized health and social care services in Sweden. Our primary data source is from focus group discussions (FGDs) held at a Sámi event in 2017 with 24 people, complemented with analysis of previously collected data from 15 individual interviews with both Sámi and non-Sámi informants familiar with dying, death and bereavement among Sámi; “go-along” discussions with 12 Sámi, and individual interviews with 31 Sámi about advance care planning. After initial framework analysis, we applied a salutogenic model for interpretation, focusing on a sense of community coherence. We found a range of generalized resistance resources in relation to the Sámi community, which appeared to support EoL care situations, i.e., Social Organization; Familiarity with EoL Care, Collective Cultural Heritage; Expressions of Spirituality; Support from Majority Care Systems; and Brokerage. These positive features appear to support key components of a sense of community coherence, i.e., comprehensibility, meaningfulness and manageability. We also found relatively few, but notable deficits that may diminish the sense of community coherence, i.e., lack of communication in one’s own language; orientation, familiarity and/or agreement in contacts with formal health and social care systems; and/or support from extended family. The results suggest that there is a robust basis among Sámi for well-functioning EoL care; a challenge is in developing supportive interactions with the majority health and social care systems that support and complement these structures, for partnership in developing care that is meaningful, comprehensible and manageable even in potentially difficult EoL situations.
