This observational study aims to evaluate the implementation and use of the Tät®II app for the treatment of urgency and mixed urinary incontinence in women over the age of 18 after contact with ordinary healthcare, as well as its effectiveness. The study aims to answer the following question:
Is treatment via the app effective and feasible after primary care?
Participants will use the app for 15 weeks to treat urgency and mixed urinary incontinence. They will answer online survey questions about their urinary incontinence before, after 15 weeks, and one year after treatment.

The primary objective of this project is to enhance understanding of intrapartum patient safety and person-centered care through the evaluation of an intervention designed to improve team communication and patient involvement during childbirth, thereby positively impacting maternal and infant health.
Despite various efforts to improve safety in intrapartum care, women and their infants are still harmed. Most adverse events within intrapartum care stem from communication and teamwork failures. Despite national and international recommendations, few interventions target patient safety by incorporating person-centered care.
This project will investigate the effectiveness and implementation of the TeamBirth care process developed by Ariadne Labs Boston, U.S. to improve communication and teamwork among caregivers and women during childbirth. The Swedish version of this care process (TeamBirth-SWE) was adapted, tested, and piloted at Karolinska University Hospital during 2021.
Hypothesis: We hypothesize that the TeamBirth-SWE intervention will have a positive impact on interprofessional teamwork, communication, information sharing, patient involvement, and shared decision-making during labor and birth. These improvements are expected to result in improved maternal and infant outcomes, process measures i.e., patient safety climate, interprofessional collaboration, and improved patient reported measures such as patient involvement, shared-decision-making, and satisfaction with care.
