Bakgrund: Lyhördhet är ett tämligen begränsat område gällande forskning i vårdvetenskapen och forskning har indikerat på ett behov av att utforska patienters upplevelser kring lyhördhet i vårdrelationen. Patienter med cancer uttrycker sällan sin oro och ängslan med ord utan uttrycker istället antydningar, vilket sällan uppmärksammas av vårdpersonalen, något som indikerar på ett behov av lyhördhet i vårdrelationen. Att inte veta hur lyhördhet upplevs av patienter kan skapa en problematik i vårdrelationen och är därav ett viktigt område att belysa. Syfte: Syftet är att beskriva hur patienter med cancer upplever lyhördhet i vårdrelationen. Metod: Fem självbiografier analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

As a public nurse there is a great probability that you will meet patients that have had a myocardial infarction. We want to contribute to create a greater understanding of how a nurse can support and understand these people. The last 30 years the infarction care has made a big progress. Still many conceptions remain which means that for many people a myocardial infarction leads to a belief that this is the end of the working life, social life, sparetime activities and travelling. Due to this misbelief it is important that the nurse creates good conditions for the patient right from the start.

Background: ?Transitional care? is a new form of care in the Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS) in Sweden. The level of care, between outpatient and inpatient, has been developed to meet children/adolescents and their families in a different way than in the traditional outpatient and inpatient treatment. The contact offered can be intense with frequent contact and also with more time set aside for every occasion. The nurse, who is one of the categories of personnel involved in the multidisciplinary team works largely in other contexts than in the therapy room at the clinic or on the ward.
