En kvalitativ studie genomfördes med intervjuer av 12 respondenter, varav sex nuvarande och sex utexaminerade studenter på en PA-utbildning. Syftet med denna studie var att undersöka nuvarande och utexaminerade PA-studenters upplevelse av sin egen förmåga att hantera olika arbetsrelaterade uppgifter. Detta gjordes med hjälp av teorierna Work Selfefficayoch Self-efficacy. Man undersökte också om det har skett någon förändring sedanrespondenterna påbörjade sina studier eller arbeten. Med hjälp av Work self-efficacyinventorys (WS-Ei) förbestämda skalor undersöktes en rad olika upplevelser av temansåsom effektiv inlärning, arbetsuppgifter, problemlösning, stress/tidpress, team/grupp,rolluppfyllning, mål/resultat och regler/företagskultur.

Syfte och frågeställningarSyftet med studien var att undersöka om en individs tro och självtillit på sin egen förmåga att genomföra uppgifter (så kallad self-efficiacy) vid start av en träningsperiod påverkar kommande träningsfrekvens. Ett sekundärt syfte var att studera om deras intentioner av hur ofta de skulle vilja träna och den faktiska träningsfrekvensen påverkas av self-efficacy. Frågeställningarna var dels ? Påverkar self-efficacy träningsfrekvens?? och dels ?Påverkar self-efficacy förmågan att uppnå uppsatta intentioner av träningsfrekvens??.MetodEn kvantitativ metod har valts med enkäter. Urvalet gjordes till de individer som tecknat ett medlemskap på minst sex månader på en specifik träningsanläggning under en viss tid och som dessutom behärskade svenska i tal och skrift.

Kroniskt obstruktiv lungsjukdom (KOL) och Kronisk hjärtsvikt (KHS) tillhör de vanligaste folksjukdomarna i Sverige. Samsjukligheten av dessa två sjukdomar är stor och patienterna har en liknande symtombild som exempelvis andfåddhet och trötthet. Fysisk aktivitet är en viktig faktor vid hantering och behandling av dessa sjukdomstillstånd. Tilltro till den egna förmågan (self-efficacy) har kommit att framstå som en påverkansfaktor för livsstilsförändring gällande fysisk aktivitet.Syftet var att jämföra utövad fysisk aktivitet och self-efficacy till fysisk aktivitet bland patienter med KOL och KHS i primärvården. Vidare var syftet att jämföra män och kvinnor med KOL respektive män och kvinnor med KHS.

Background   The patient's rights to self-determine their own health care is described in Swedish legislation and guidelines. However, due to infancy, unconsciousness, severe brain damage or certain diseases, some patients might be unable to make such decisions. Ethically difficult situations do occur, not infrequently associated with culture. Since the patient is vulnerable, there is a risk that the patient in the treatment and care can not be bothered to maintain right to autonomy and that the nurse violates patient integrity.Aim                 The aim of this study was to illustrate the nurse's dilemma when the patient refuses vital caring efforts.Method           A literature review of eight scientific articles with a qualitative approach was performed.Results           The results revealed the following domains to describe the nurse's dilemma when the patient refuses vital care interventions: patients? reasons for treatment refusal, the nurse's understanding of the patient's refusal of care and contradictory legislationConclusion     More knowledge and discussion of the patient's decision-making competence is needed for both the nursing profession and those who make decisions on legislation..

Senior citizens require a healthy oral cavity and healthy teeth in order to eat, speak and preserve their well-being. With age we know that the incidence and prevalence of diseases and symptoms originating from the oral cavity are more common compared to younger age groups. Senior citizens are the fastest growing population on earth, thus the need of healthcare providers with knowledge and skills in oral healthcare are in great demand.  The purpose of this thesis is to identify oral healthcare interventions and educational interventions which have been shown to improve oral health of residents over 65 years of age.  A literature review was conducted in which 15 scientific articles were scrutinized. Databases used were PubMed, Cinahl and Scopus. The results imply that good oral healthcare not only improve the oral health of senior citizens, but also prevents the occurrence of other diseases such as pneumonia and  improve the overall quality of life.
