“…Such tacit assumptions have a huge influence on how researchers inquire into human beings' experiences of health and how practitioners organize and carry out health behavior counseling with clients. In operationalizing Antonovsky's health theory, McCuaig and Quennerstedt (2018) have therefore suggested a collection of salutogenic informed interview questions that potentially dissolve pathogenic foundations and instead promote dialogue about "a good life." Sidestepping what might be obvious questions about "good health," these particular questions encourage narratives that can facilitate the identification of underlying regimes constituting what certain groups or individuals respect and value about their lives.…”

“…There are well-known risks associated with the dominance of quantitative approaches in the health sciences (Fernández-Guerrero et al, 2014). At the same time, given scholars' efforts to re-understand and problematize the relation between people's daily life on one hand, and health on the other (McCuaig & Quennerstedt, 2018), we are in need to develop theoretical and methodological frameworks capable of advancing qualitative research (Morse, 2002;Shaw, 2016). Two emerging fields, although not homogeneously evolving, are noticeable in this progression of a broader notion of health.…”

Research has pursued salutogenic and narrative approaches to deal with questions about how everyday settings are constitutive for different health practices. Healthy behavior is not a distinguishable action, but a chain of activities, often embedded in other social practices. In this article, we have endeavored to describe such a chain of activities guided by the salutogenic claim of exploring the good living argued by McCuaig and Quennerstedt. We use biographical material written by Karl Ove Knausgaard who has created a life story entitled My Struggle. The novel is selected upon an approach influenced by Brinkmann who stresses that literature can be seen as a qualitative social inquiry in which the novelist is an expert in transforming personal life experiences into common human expressions of life. The study illustrates how research with a broader notion of health can convey experiences of health, thereby complementing (and sometimes challenging) public health evidence.

“…The study design is based on the salutogenic theory and the collected data was analyzed both deductively as well as inductively. Three phases were employed: 1) a deductive (theory-driven) approach was used to create the interview guide, using questions derived from the salutogenic theory and its core concept SOC [21]; 2) an inductive (data-driven) approach was adopted to analyze data using qualitative content analysis [23][24] and 3) a deductive approach was employed to theoretically discuss the findings [21].…”

“…The codes were continually adjusted to make the inductive process more rigorous [23]. Based on the patterns emerging from the analysis, the codes were deductively structured into the dimensions of the SOC, that is, meaningfulness, manageability and comprehensibility, which thus constitute the themes in the presentation of the results [21]. Subthemes were then identified; they were categorized together into the three main 7 themes and described the latent meaning of the overt statements [23][24].…”

Background There is extensive research on how nurses experience their working conditions and environment; this research shows high job stress, job dissatisfaction and intention to leave the workplace. The aim was to describe and explore success factors explaining why hospital nurses remain in work and profession. Methods A qualitative, descriptive and explorative study based on a theory-driven (the salutogenic theory by Antonovsky) approach was conducted. Data collection took place from March to June 2018. Individual semi-structured interviews with twelve registered nurses working in a hospital in western Sweden were conducted. The sense of coherence and its three dimensions, comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness, were used as a tool to structure the analyses of the qualitative data. Hence, a deductive (theory-driven) and an inductive (datadriven) approach with qualitative content analysis of manifest and latent content were used. ResultsThe results showed that a sense of meaningfulness, manageability and comprehensibility involved the factors having fun at work, being acknowledged, feeling togetherness in the team, having varying tasks with a manageable workload, good interaction between colleagues and patients, doing good work, feeling committed to and pride in the professional role, and having a balance between work and leisure time. Conclusions One precondition of improving registered nurses' health and well-being was having clear leadership. Another precondition was having a sense of coherence in relation to both the working group and the organization. Experiencing job satisfaction and being acknowledged for one's good work were important; acknowledgement was received not only from patients, but also from colleagues, other professionals and the nurse manager. In this way, the nurses felt acknowledged and could create a sense of meaningfulness, manageability and comprehensibility in their work.
