Bakgrund: En vårdande relation är inte detsamma som en vänskapsrelation, men förutsätter ändå närhet och engagemang. Personligt engagemang är också nödvändigt för att utvecklas som vårdare. Sorg är en naturlig reaktion vid förlust av relationer, men det är inte självklart att vårdare vet om de får eller bör känna och uttrycka sorg när patienter dör. Det saknas en samlad bild av vårdares sorg över döende och avlidna patienter.Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva hur vårdares egen sorg över döende och avlidna patienter gestaltar sig.Metod: Beskrivande litteraturöversikt av elva artiklar som analyserades med en form av kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Resultat: Vårdarens sorg gestaltar sig i form av inre känslor som att känna smärta och tyngande känslor samt skuld och ilska. Sorgen kan även visa sig i form av yttre uttryck där vårdaren exempelvis gråter eller känner sig rastlös.

From a queer theoretical perspective I examine how these girls do and talk about their relationships, in relation to norms about relationships and sexuality as well as notions about online and offline.My aim is to discuss in which ways the performing of these relationships both reproduce and challenge norms about relationships and sexuality. The girls I interview attempt in different ways to show that doing relationships online is just as ?normal? as doing them offline.

I conclude that the studied practice is mainly characterized by a tension between a caring discourse and a medical discourse..

The purpose of this bachelor thesis is to examine whether there exists a hegemonic relationship between librarians and users of libraries with a focus on the librarians point of view. The future of movies in the library is also going to be examined. Qualitative interviews were conducted and were examined for signs of hegemony and habitus according to the respective theories. The results of these interviews showed that librarians were in favor of user suggestions to improve the libraries collection. We found that there exists a hegemonic relationship in the libraries, but that it was subliminal and unwanted.

The aim of this thesis is to explore the relationship between the surrounding world and the library with respect to the library?s need to provide a Library 2.0 web site. We also explore the relationship between the physical and the virtual library. Our research objects are the public libraries of Stockholm and the Umeå region, that maintain the web sites Biblioteket.se and minabibliotek.se respectively. By applying Dorte Skot-Hansen's theory of rationales we found that the Stockholm public library is acting in accordance with the experience rationale, whereas the libraries of Umeå are influenced by the instrumental rationale.

Bakgrund: Ett stort antal patienter fullföljer inte sin behandling av ätstörningar på grund av att de känner sig missförstådda av vårdaren vilket kan leda till ett vårdlidande. Sjuksköterskors arbete är betydelsefullt då den vårdande relationen som hen fokuserar på anses vara mer läkande än den medicinska behandlingen. En väletablerad kontakt mellan vårdpersonal och patient är av stor betydelse för en god omvårdnad och en lyckad behandling.Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av att vårda patienter som lider av ätstörningar.Metod: En litteraturstudie har gjorts med utgångspunkt i Evans (2002) analysmetod. Analys av 10 vetenskapliga studier som har svarat till studiens syfte.Resultat: Fyra teman framkom som belyser sjuksköterskors erfarenheter kring attityder och beteenden, en vårdande relation, kunskap och känslor.Slutsats: Relationen mellan patient och vårdare är mycket viktig men också mycket komplext. Det är vår uppfattning att alla sjuksköterskor försöker med bästa möjliga förmåga sträva efter att lindra patienters lidande däremot är kunskapen om hur detta ska uppnås inte tillräckligt tydlig.
