I carried out six interviews in a "resource-school". The pupils were between ten and fifteen years old and they were all boys with a conduct disorder. The purpose of my study was to find out how the pupils experience school and with that starting point I wanted to contribute to the understanding and the importance of the "resource-school" for the pupils' development. My main questions have been to investigate what the pupils recall from their earlier schools, what they consider to be the difference between their current school and earlier schools, why do they attend this school, do they see it like a punishment or a possibility and how do they see their future.One conclusion I got to in my study was the pupils' relation to the staff. Here they found reliable grown ups with whom they created a positive relation to, which gave them better possiblities to develop and grow stronger.

ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder) är ett neuropsykiatriskt funktionshinder som ungefär 3-5 procent av alla barn i skolålder är diagnostiserade för. Hälften av de barn som diagnostiseras har kvar symtomen i vuxen ålder. Samtidigt är ADHD en diagnos som varit omdiskuterad under många år, då somliga menar att det inte borde vara en diagnos utan kan vara ett personlighetsdrag och att en diagnostisering kan medföra negativa konsekvenser för en persons självbild. Syftet var att ta reda på hur våra fem respondenter, vuxna personer med en ADHD-diagnos, ser på sitt liv efter att de fått sin diagnos och vad diagnostiseringen har haft för betydelse för dem. Intervjuer med en narrativ ingång användes för att, utifrån den valda frågeställningen sammanfatta och strukturera upp respondenternas berättelser.

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att identifiera och beskriva skyddsfaktorernas effekt för psykisk ohälsa.

Metoden var en litteraturstudie där tio granskade artiklar delades in i teman utifrån teorin om skyddsfaktorer för psykisk ohälsa enligt Cullberg, 2003. Dessa teman var social nätverk, arbete/sysselsättning och sammanhang/mening. Resultatet visade att dessa tre skyddsfaktorer utgår från fundamentala behov hos människan, om dessa inte är uppfyllda löper människan större risk att drabbas av psykisk ohälsa.

Patienter som lider av Münchhausens syndrom hittar på symtom och/eller skadar sig själva i syfte att få uppmärksamhet från sjukvårdspersonal. Det är en svårdiagnostiserad störning som är till skada för individen och hela sjukvårdssystemet. Det har gjorts få undersökningar om Münchhausens syndrom och därför intervjuades fem läkare för att öka kunskapen om Münchhausens syndrom och få svar på vilka möjligheter läkare har att kunna identifiera denna störning, samt vilka åtgärder som då kan bli aktuella. Resultatet visade att läkarna ansåg sig vara för lite insatta om Münchhausens syndrom och att de inte kunde vara helt säkra på att patienten inte hade de besvär som patienten påstod sig lida av. Det fanns heller ingen handlingsplan ifall läkarna misstänkte att en patient inte talade sanning om sitt hälsotillstånd.

This from experiences by people whose daily job contains work rehabilitation for this group in particular.
