Bakgrund: Att leva med Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) innebär en stor utmaning i det vardagliga livet. Personerna kan bli funktionshindrade på grund av de livslånga symtomen som IBS medför trots att IBS i sig inte är livshotande. Många personer med IBS upplever idag att information om egenvård från sjukvården är bristfällig, att de inte blir tagna på allvar, och att deras egna upplevelser förbises. Eftersom sjuksköterskan kommer i kontakt med dessa personer i sin yrkesutövning kan det anses vara användbart att ha kunskaper om dessa personers upplevelser för att bättre kunna bemöta dem och öka deras välbefinnande och livskvalitet.Syfte: Syftet var att belysa personers upplevelser av att leva med Irritable Bowel Syndrome.Metod: Studien genomfördes som en litteraturstudie med kvalitativ ansats som baserades på sju artiklar och analyserades enligt Graneheim och Lundmans tolkning av innehållsanalys.Resultat: I resultatet framkom fem kategorier av upplevelser; Olika känslouttryck, att acceptera den förändrade vardagen, önskan om förståelse och stöd, påverkan på integritet och självkänsla och social isolering och utanförskap.Slutsats: Denna studie har visat att personer med IBS har ett behov av att bli förstådda av sjukvården. Sjuksköterskan kan genom att öka sin kunskap om personers livsvärld och upplevelser av att leva med IBS bidra till att fler personer får stöd och hjälp från sjukvården.

Inledning Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) är en vanlig funktionell mag-tarmsjukdom. Sjukdomen har i studier visats vara socialt hämmande och påverkar livskvaliteten negativt. Irritable bowel syndrome är en vanlig diagnos hos dietisten och målet med nutritionsbehandlingen är att uppnå ett optimalt näringsintag genom individuellt anpassade kostråd. Som dietist har man en skyldighet att jobba enligt vetenskap och beprövad erfarenhet. Detta, i kombination med att det vetenskapliga underlaget bakom nutritionsbehandling vid IBS är något vaga, motstridiga och där nyare rön är på väg att ta plats, kan leda till ett dilemma.Syftet är att undersöka vilken nutritionsbehandling dietister inom primärvården och slutenvården ger till patienter med IBS.Metod En webbenkät innehållande 24 frågor sändes ut till 392 svenska dietister inom primärvård och slutenvård.

The purpose of this study was to highlight how women who have been victims of rape are described in discussion forums on the Internet and how the view obtained is affected by victim and gender constructions. By observing several discussion threads on Swedish internet forums, we have been able to explore how discussions and attitudes are made about women who are victims of rape and which characteristics are assigned females. This study analyzes these attitudes from a gender construction theory and a victim construction theory. Through this analysis, we wanted to gain a deeper understanding of attitudes about female rape victims and if the attitudes are rooted in victim and gender constructions. This study shows that women are often assigned responsibility to a rape if she put herself at risk and if she is assigned negative attributes such as promiscuous, as a liar or if she drinks too much alcohol.

Management of large carnivores involves more than just the management of animals, people also have a large influence. The Swedish parliament decided in 2009 that the county boards should use co-management to a greater extent in management. This shows how important human dimensions are.We know from previous research that the majority of people in Västerbotten are positive toward large carnivores and the management done by the state, however there is a negative minority which should not be neglected. This paper contributes with an examination of attitudes toward large carnivores, wolf, bear, lynx and wolverine, in Västerbotten County. The data for this study were derived from a survey that was sent out to 150 randomly selected persons in every commune in following counties: Norrbotten, Västerbotten, Jämtland, Västernorrland, Dalarna, Gävleborg and Stockholm.

According to the National Agency for Education 06-06-2010 are approximately 115 000 students graduating from Secondary School in the year of 2010.Out of these students, we know that thousands of them are hampered by reading and writing disabilities in various degrees. Have these students been given the best support needed when it comes to writing and reading?Compensation may be perceived as a goal for the pupil to catch up with the rest of the educational group or as a vehicle to go round the difficulties. In Sweden, diagnosed dyslexics are not allowed to use speech synthesis, a compensatory technical aid, during the 9th degree national tests.This study?s purpose is to discover if the usage of speech synthesis during the national test of Swedish and reading comprehension might work as a motivation booster for the students and consequently increase their test scores.This is a quantitative study including study including 15 pupils with diagnosed reading and writing disabilities.
