My purpose with this essay was to study if there was any difference in competence between preschool teachers and child minders at a preschool outside of Stockholm. To determine what the differences consisted of, if there was any. The questions I wanted answered were as follows: Are there any differences in competence between preschool teachers and child minders? Do the two different occupations have different ways at looking at what the children need and their abilities? Do they see that they have different skills depending on what occupation they belong to? What do they believe that the people from the other occupation contribute to the preschool which compliments their own working skills?I used a qualitative method which included interviews and observations to find out the answers to these questions. My results from these interviews and observations indicated that experience, personality and attitudes are very important as well as education.

Bakgrund: Varje år drabbas ca 300 barn av cancer som är den vanligaste dödsorsaken hos barn i Sverige. Hela familjen påverkas av detta under lång tid. En säker och trygg vardag ersätts med ständig strävan om överlevnad, att både barnet och familjen ska ta sig igenom denna period av rädsla, kaos och hjälplöshet.

Feline odontoclastic resorptive lesion (FORL) is a tooth disease affecting both domestic and wild cats. Although FORL was described as early as the 1920´s, the etiology is still unclear. Several hypotheses have been presented but different studies have obtained contradictory results, and today there is no generally accepted etiology. Teeth affected by FORL are characterized by root resorption with progressive destruction of the tooth structure and alveolar bone as a consequence of clast cell activity. The disease is considered very painful when reaching a certain stage.

The most common form of female cancer in Sweden is breast cancer and the primary choice of treatment is surgery. Removing a woman's breasts is not just removing a body part but is also strongly linked to the emotional life. This has psychosocial consequences and the reactions will be different depending on how people perceive health and illness. Factors that matter are both personal experiences and cultural factors such as religion, family, and the own standards and values. It is important that a nurse is aware of cultural factors that may influence the perception of care.

Cancer är en av de vanligaste sjukdomarna i vår tid och patientermed denna sjukdom påträffas ofta inom vården. Det äringen ovanlighet att flera av dessa patienter senare drabbasav ett recidiv i sjukdomen. Syftet med denna studie var attbelysa patienters upplevelser av recidiverande cancer. Studienutfördes som en litteraturstudie med induktiv metod därfakta i resultatet utkristalliserades i fyra teman, emotionellaupplevelser, sociala upplevelser, fysiska upplevelser samtupplevelser av hälso- och sjukvården.

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.

Bakgrund: Patienter med cancer i den palliativa vården lider av olika symtom. Symtom som patienterna kan lida av är smärta, ångest och sömnsvårigheter. Dessa symtom kan bland annat leda till att patienter har svårt att känna ett välbefinnande i sin sjukdom. Palliativa vårdens huvudmål är att lindra patienternas symtom och det vanligaste hjälpen till att lindra symtom är läkemedel men det finns även andra sätt att tillgå som t.ex. massage.

According to The National Board of Health and Welfare, about 200 000 elderly persons get some help or support with eating or nutrition problems. This was approximately 2 percent of the population. Older people in sheltered accommodation in community care were not able to manage their own nutrition. The older people were dependent on the food that was offered to them, when and how the food was served. This was a specific responsibility for the nursing staff.

Through an internship at a nonprofit organization called ATSUB[1], specialized at giving support to non-offending parents to sexually abused children, one of the authors to this study found that there was a lack of care for the parents by governmental operations. While studying the previous research we found a great deficiency when it came to non-offending parents and far most about non-offending fathers. We found studies proving that the child?s non-offending parents are the best support for the child during their healing process. Research also shows that parents must be able to get good support and treatment during their crisis for the parents to be able to support the child, since they?re also in great despair over their child being sexually abused.

In Sweden the social assistance from a historical perspective, has been a part of the social legislation, since the 18th century. In that time called poor relief. Through the centuries this has established the social assistance we have today. With focus on the child, we have attempted to illustrate how the social workers consider the child perspective when they are dealing with the social assistance. We wanted to get a view of how the social worker reasons about needs the children have and how they can see that the benefit has been provided for.
