“…En slik holdning kan vaere nyttig i møtet med personer med sammensatte problemer. Av betydning for overdoser som eksistensielt fenomen, i form av å ikke orke mere, kan det å arbeide med håp også bety en reorientering i retning av å forstå fenomenet som knyttet til livshistorie og levekår (22).…”

SAMMENDRAG Nurses' experiences with overdose deaths in Oslo. Background: Many risk factors associated with overdose deaths are described in the research literature. These factors will have implications for nurses' work with persons at risk of overdosing. There seems to be a lack of studies that investigate nurses' professional experience of work with this phenomenon. Objective: In this study, conducted in Oslo, we examined nurses' experiences with cases of overdose, and deaths from overdose, in persons who took opioid injections. The aim of the study was to acquire knowledge about these phenomena in such a context. Method: Six nurses participated in multi-professional focus groups and two in individual in-depth interviews. Using systematic text condensation of data, the nurses' experience was described. Results: The experience of the nurses can be described as: Different reasons for overdosing, Opening for a treatment relationship, Getting a grip on the situation, and Teaching abstinence and involving the social services. Conclusion: The results confirm that deaths from overdosage are associated with various risk factors, in which individual, cultural and structural factors seem to play a part. Knowledge about the person's experience of the overdose, and about what can help, seems essential to the nurses. The results indicate that collaboration should be based on a participant position with the aim of creating hope. The nurses' experience points to the importance of the different services sharing information about cases of overdose, and of discussing the duty of confidentiality.

Ambiguous indifference -fatal overdoses among marginalized drug users after discharge from inpatient treatment BACKGROUND -In the European context, Norway is one of the countries with the highest overdose-related mortality rate. Research proves that the risk of overdose mortality among marginalized drug users is particularly high during the first weeks after discharge from inpatient treatment. AIM -It is therefore interesting to investigate whether there might be a connection between marginalization and treatment culture to understand fatale overdoses after discharge from inpatient treatment. DESIGN & METHODS -The case study is based on a previous field study connected to the death register. The study focuses on a single individual, Sam, and his treatment process. Data is analyzed in the light of a cultural analytical perspective. RESULTS -The results shows how the treatment system can be a social arena for institutional exclusion and marginalization that aggravate the person's self-esteem and life situation. One central aspect of the process of treatment was that it generated indifference. Sam's treatment motivation developed into treatment indifference. In the last part of the article, the author discusses indifference as a risk aspect of overdose mortality after discharged from treatment. It is not possible to conclude if Sam's overdose death was an accident or suicide. However, in the light of action theory the case shows that indifference can be a central aspect of both an unintentional and intentional overdose. Sam's death can be understood in the light of the concept ambiguous indifference. CONCLUSION -The case shows that there may be a relationship between marginality, treatment culture and overdose mortality. Cultural and structural aspects of the treatment system put Sam in an empty and risky situation that probably contributed to his death. In a comparison of risk situations in this case-history with recent research on treatment system, we can see several worrisome resemblances considering overdose mortality after discharge from inpatient treatment.
