As a student during my studies, I have been told about entrepreneurs who have red numbers in their financial statements, and there is a forest machine operator shortage in Sweden. The basic idea of this thesis was to examine the underlying factors that may have caused the problems described above. The aim of this thesis was to investigate the factors that create stress and job satisfaction as a forest machine operator. The study was performed as a comparison between forest companies own harvesting teams and entrepreneur teams to investigate if there are any differences in stress and job satisfaction between the two different types of team. The study was conducted in collaboration with SCA Skog. The material for this study was collected by doing interviews with SCA's harvesting teams. A total of 27 forest machine operators were interviewed, divided into a total of 10 separate harvesting teams. It was very similar between the different type of teams, which situations the operators experienced stress.

Bakgrund: Stress är en naturlig del av livet, men när stressen är långvarig blir den patologisk. För att inte utveckla utmattningssyndrom och andra sjukdomar är det viktigt att ta stressen på allvar och försöka åtgärda den. Studier visade att sjuksköterskor som arbetade på sjukhus kände sig stressade och uppvisade tecken på utbrändhet, samt att sjuksköterskor på stora sjukhus upplevde mer stress än sjuksköterskor på mindre sjukhus och inom andra vårdformer. Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att identifiera stressfaktorer hos sjuksköterskor som arbetar på sjukhus. Metod: Resultatet i denna litteraturstudie sammanställdes utifrån Goodmans sju steg genom granskning av artiklar som byggde på genomförda kvantitativa empiriska studier. Resultat: Följande teman av stressfaktorer identifierades: Dåliga arbets-förhållanden, problem mellan personalen, individuella och sociala faktorer, kunskapsnivå och arbetsuppgifter, samt emotionella och etiskt svåra situationer.

Idag utlöses stress i arbetslivet till stor del av psykosociala faktorer. Den ökade användningen av IT sedan 70-talet har lett till att nya faktorer kan utlösa stress. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka vilka faktorer som eventuellt skulle kunna ha samband med stress kopplat till IT-användning. 75 besvarade enkäter låg till grund för analysen. Resultatet av faktoranalysen blev tre faktorer, varav två var kopplade till stress.

Antalet människor som känner sig stressade idag stiger i takt med det ökade tempot och de höga kraven både i samhället och inom arbetslivet. Därför är det viktigt att identifiera framgångsrika sätt att motverka och reducera stress. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka individer som bedöms arbeta i en stressfylld miljö men som inte anses påverkas negativt av stress. Vi ville undersöka vad dessa människor gör och hur de tänker när de hanterar en stressfylld situation på arbetsplatsen. Vi ville också undersöka vilka andra faktorer som påverkar deras förmåga att hantera stress samt hur de lärt sig att hantera stressfyllda situationer.

For a long period of time there has been an extensive documentation of how things are presumed not to be at our workplace. However there is little knowledge on how it is supposed to be, what makes us feel good and what makes us retain our well-being.

The work method used in this study is quantitative and a questionnaire survey was carried out to produce an overall picture. The majority considered praise from manager and the opportunity of development discussions of great importance.

Lower urinary tract diseases are a common problem in cats all over the world. The symptoms are for example dysuria, pollakuria, stranguria, periuria and hematuria. In approximately two thirds of these cats the underlying cause is not known and the disease is therefore called feline idiopathic cystitis (FIC). We need to know more about the disease to get a consistently effective treatment and prevention. A retrospective study was performed in 50 cats with symptoms of FIC and where other causes of inflammation were ruled out. Data like breed, age, sex, body weight, feeding, therapy and therapeutic results were collected, also if it was an indoor or outdoor cat, duration of the symptoms, if there was any stress and if the cat was living with another cat.

Utifrån en litteraturstudie kunde vi identifiera tolv olika nyckelpunkter som kan summera användares stress och kontrollpåverkan från smartphones.
