The purpose of this review was to examine in what situations patients with myocardial infarction could feel Anxiety. We also wanted to examine what a nurse could do to relieve the Anxiety. The results are based on eight scientific articles and one literature review. The results shows that the patient could feel Anxiety before examinations and transfers. The patient's Anxiety increased if relatives had Anxiety and if there were a lack of information from the nurse.

BackgroundResearch shows that the majority of patients feel Anxiety before and during anesthesia. It has been shown in several studies that preoperative Anxiety may cause adverse effects in the postoperative course. Nurse anesthetists have a key role in creating a safe environment and the opportunity to use different interventions to reduce the degree of Anxiety.AimThe aim of the study was to examine which interventions may reduce Anxiety in adult patients before and during both general, local and regional anesthesia.DesignSystematic literature review with a quantitative approach.ResultsSeveral studies indicate that gabapentin and pregabalin can reduce Anxiety before and during anesthesia. The Anxiety reducing effect appeared to be dose dependent. The naturopathic drugs Citrus aurantium blossom and Passiflora incarnata Linneaus were found to reduce Anxiety before anesthesia.

My essay is about a dilemma that came up on a preschool that I worked in. My purpose with my essay is to examine and to get an understanding for what children with attachement and separation Anxiety goes through, and how a preschool teacher the best way can help them.The background story is about a boy named Sixten (not his real name). When separated from one of the preschool teachers Sixten exhibits a great deal of separation Anxiety. In the story I give some clear examples of situations where Sixten displays this separation Anxiety. I have in the essay viewed it from different perspectives and I have questioned my own role as an educator, but also my entire team.

Anxiety och självförtroende är två idrottspsykologiska faktorer som enligt tidigare forskningär av betydelse för idrottsprestationen i tävlingssammanhang. Syftet med studien var att skapaen djupare förståelse för hur fem landslagsspelare i basket upplever och hanterar Anxiety ochsjälvförtroende före samt under ett stort internationellt mästerskap. Fem manliga svenskabasketspelare intervjuades två gånger vardera; en gång före och en gång efter mästerskapet.Instrumenten som användes var två konstruerade intervjuguider baserade på CSAI-2.Intervjutexten analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys och citatplockmetoden.Resultaten visade på att Anxiety och självförtroende många gånger kan upplevas som starkapåverkansfaktorer vid idrottsprestationen i tävlingssammanhang. Av resultaten framkom ävenatt hanteringen av Anxiety och självförtroende kan ha betydelse för prestationen. Idiskussionen sammankopplas resultaten med tidigare forskning samt att förslag ges påframtida forskning kring Anxiety och självförtroende inom idrott..

Background: Anxiety with children before surgery is well known. From the 1950s there are various assessment instruments. Despite that most day surgery units offer preparation for children and parents, there are many children who exhibit a strong Anxiety the day of surgery, which can lead to postoperative behavioral changes. Today the nurse estimates the Anxiety of a child on personal experience and knowledge, forming the basis for estimation whether the child is in need of sedation or not. The purpose: of this study was to evaluate instruments that the nurse can use in measuring the degree of Anxiety of children before fast clinical settings, such as day surgery.

Syftet med studien var att få en djupare förståelse för vad som ger upphov till Anxiety hos erfarna klättrare och hur de hanterar (coping) somatisk såväl som kognitiv Anxiety vid traditionell klättring. Skiljer sig copingstrategierna mellan män och kvinnor samt är det sökandet efter arousal som motiverar till traditionell klippklättring. En kvalitativ undersökning genomfördes med en semistrukturerad intervjuguide som underlag. Nio stycken erfarna klättrare (män = 6, kvinnor = 3) mellan 23 och 46 år (M = 33.4 år) inom traditionell klättring intervjuades.

The aim of this study was to compare perceived disability in daily activities, Anxiety and depression for patients with chronic pain (>3 month), before and after rehabilitation. Another aim was to examine if there were any correlations between disability in daily activities and the extent of Anxiety and depression before and after rehabilitation.For the measurements, Disability Rating Index (DRI) that measures disability in daily activities, and Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) ) which measures the extent of Anxiety and depression were used. The study was carried out with 50 patients who had suffered from chronic pain and with the objective to return to work after rehabilitation. Of these, 90 % were female. The measurements were carried out at three measure points; before rehabilitation, seven weeks after rehabilitation and one year after rehabilitation.The main result did not show any statistically significant improvement in ability to perform daily activities.The only significant difference that emerged was an improvement in Anxiety seven weeks after rehabilitation compared with before.

The participants were 124 students in three grades and respectively non vocationally oriented classes.
