Background and Aim Being diagnosed with cancer is often described as a major loss of control leading to severe psychological distress and symptoms of anxiety and depression can continue to affect the individual in the long term. The cancer and its treatment may influence all dimensions of health, thus the psychosocial support provided needs to be multifaceted and easy accessed. Internet-based interventions may be one way to provide such support, but evidence is limited. This thesis aimed to investigate the design, effects, and experiences of internet-based psychosocial support in cancer. Methods and Results Study 1 encompassed a co-creation development process resulting in the interactive support provided as the first step in an internet-based stepped care intervention (iCAN-DO).

An analysis is a critique, or a response to literature, helping readers position texts in individual, cultural, and sociological spheres. Readers see a text through an overlapping set of lenses, relating the text to their personal experiences, other texts they have read, and sociocultural systems in their worlds. Critical literary analyses can come in many forms. Analysis of a text occurs through iterative processes of identifying a comment on

The red thread of the text is provided by Tove Jansson’s fictional works, and the focus will be on three cases in particular (the magic hat, the invisible girl and the figure of the Groke). The article sets out from the phenom- enological distinction between the sensible expression, on the one hand, and the expressed content, on the other. By focusing on the three cases, the article distinguishes and analyses the fundamental structures of communal life and explicates different ways in which social affirmation can be one-sided or distorted.

  • The Eden of Dreams and the Nonsense Land 2
    1 The Eden of Dreams and the Nonsense Land 2 The Eden of Dreams and the Nonsense Land. Characteristics of the British Golden Age Children’s Fiction in the Finnish Children’s Fantasy Literature of the 1950s. Mirva Saukkola 3 Foreword This dissertation tells about the journey fantasy literature made from Victorian Britain to a Finland, profoundly changed by the Second World War. It is loosely based on part of the licentiate work I completed almost five years ago. Much has since changed. When I started, I was simply fascinated by the enchanted worlds I was able to visit by reading fantasy literature. Later on, I was impressed by how children's literature is linked in so many ways to the society in which it is created. During the years spent writing this thesis, I found texts which I would have otherwise never come across, as well as being able to return to the stories I had greatly enjoyed as a very young reader. In many ways, this process was an adventure during which I found I was not only a researcher of literature, but also I remembered the experiences I went through as a child reader. I hope my thesis will raise the interest in children's literature and help grown- ups, in addition to children, to enjoy it. In this process - or my literary adventure - I had many guides and helpers, whom I wish to thank warmly. The supervisor of my thesis, Professor H. K. Riikonen has guided me during the entire process. I wish to address my most grateful thanks to him for his valuable advice.
