“…Data were collected from two geographical areas, one in south-eastern Norway and one in western Sweden, using the same strategy and sampling frame (teachers in Grades 0-9) to ensure comparability. The two areas share several characteristics, such as having a high proportion of industrial workers and a multi-ethnic but socially segregated society, which means that the pupil populations are very diverse (Tunström & Wang, 2019).…”

This study departs from socio-cognitive theory to describe differences in Swedish and Norwegian teachers' attitudes towards reading instruction. The overall aim of the study is to describe how Swedish (n = 340) and Norwegian teachers' (n = 236) self-efficacy for motivating their pupils and adapting their reading instruction vary with their attitudes towards reading instruction-more particularly: reading aloud, conducting text talk in whole class, or conducting teacher-guided text talk in small groups. The study reports a structural equation model using diagonally weighted least squares. We tested that the scales had the same meaning in both countries (invariance analysis) to ensure that the scale was comparable across countries. The results suggest that when compared to Norwegian teachers, the sampled Swedish teachers reported more positive attitudes towards reading instruction and higher self-efficacy for reading instruction. Specifically, reading self-efficacy for reading motivation was substantively higher in the latent (probit) means. In addition, self-efficacy for reading instruction positively predicted higher propensity for positive attitudes towards reading instruction. The study also reports measures for individual reading attitudes (reading aloud, conducting text talk in whole class, or conducting teacher-guided text talk in small groups).

“…This mirrors the divide between capital cities and the rest of the country in other European nations. Generally speaking, there is segregation in these other capital cities too, but Stockholm has particularly high levels of macro- terd, 2005;Tammaru et al, 2015), because majority-group members with the financial resources are able to realize their housing preferences (Östh et al, 2015;Tunström & Wang, 2019) Income and ethnic residential segregation are highly correlated. Lowincome families often cannot make choices that match their residential preferences (DeLuca & Jang-Trettien, 2020), while affluent migrants have a higher probability of out-mobility from poorer areas (Fjellborg, 2021).…”

“…Lowincome families often cannot make choices that match their residential preferences (DeLuca & Jang-Trettien, 2020), while affluent migrants have a higher probability of out-mobility from poorer areas (Fjellborg, 2021). Poorer areas on the outskirts of Stockholm can be quite ethnically diverse with a mix of immigrants from low-income European, African, the Middle Eastern, East Asian, and South American countries (Åslund et al, 2010;Tunström & Wang, 2019).…”

“…Taken together, the housing distribution and the transformation of Stockholm's housing landscape through the conversion from public rental to private housing, particularly in central areas, has contributed to increased homogeneity. Queue-based rental housing allocation, in combination with the high cost of entering homeownership in central areas, has pushed newcomers and low-income households to the fringes of the city (Haandrikman et al, 2021;Tunström & Wang, 2019). Thus, suburbs exhibit higher levels of poverty and ethnic diversity, reflecting macro-scale segregation.…”

Purpose To examine differences in health-related quality of life (HRQoL) between native and foreign-born gynaecological cancer patients in Sweden, taking into account clinical, demographic, and socioeconomic factors. Methods The 30-item European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer quality of life questionnaire (QLQ-C30) and a study-specific questionnaire covering demographic and socioeconomic factors were answered by 684 women aged ≥ 18 years old, diagnosed in 2014, 2016, or 2018 with gynaecological cancer in the Stockholm-Gotland health care region, Sweden. Clinical data were obtained from the Swedish Cancer Register. Data were analysed using the Kruskal–Wallis test and linear regression. Results The women had a mean age of 65.4 years, with 555 (81.1%) born in Sweden, 54 (7.9%) in other Nordic countries (ONC), 43 (6.3%) in other European countries (OEC), and 32 (4.7%) in non-European countries (NEC). HRQoL differed significantly between the four groups for 14 of the 15 QLQ-C30 scales/items. On average, Swedish-born women scored 2.0, 15.2, and 16.7 points higher for QoL/functioning scales/items and 2.2, 14.1, and 18.7 points lower for symptom scales/items, compared with ONC-, OEC-, and NEC-born women, respectively. In adjusted analyses, none of the differences between Swedish-born and ONC-born women were significant, while for OEC- and NEC-born women the differences were significant for most QLQ-C30 scales/items. Conclusion HRQoL differs between native and foreign-born gynaecological cancer patients in Sweden, with lower HRQoL the further from Sweden the women are born. A more individualised cancer care, with tailored support to optimize HRQoL is needed for this vulnerable group of patients.
