The purpose of this paper was to study how the death is described in some books for children and how the books may affect the readers. I chose five books where the leading character was a child who lost a close relative like a parent or a sibling. I asked the book questions like you would do at an interwiew.The main questions were:· What do the children think about the death?· How does the child react when it finds out that a parent or a sibling is dead?· What does the child think about seeing the dead person and how does it react at the funeral?· From what or whom do they find the strength to move on?· What support does the child have from people in the surroundings?· How may the books affect the readers?The results showed that the books give you an image close to the reality. The children had different ways to mourn.

Background: Earlier studies show that nurses work environment is a factor that may affect the quality in nursing care negatively. Other factors are: number of employees, working hours, work structure and planning and working relationships between colleagues. Work relationships are particularly important for nurses as they can affect patient safety. Nurses are prone to stressrelated illnesses and high stress levels prove to have a negative affect on the quality of nursing care. To develop and assure the quality demands effort from every employee.

Enligt Barncancerfonden drabbas varje år ca 300 barn av cancer. De vanligaste formerna av cancer hos barn är leukemi, hjärntumör och neuroblastom. Prognosen har förbättrats, men fortfarande avlider ett av fyra barn. För föräldrarna innebär det en stor tragedi att förlora sitt barn. Det kan föra med sig känslor av chock, rädsla, skuld och maktlöshet.

Idag är cancer den andra vanligaste dödsorsaken i Sverige. För att kunna hjälpa patienterna som inte kommer att överleva en obotlig cancer diagnos, behövs bland annat erfarna sjuksköterskor inom palliativ vård. Den palliativa vården syftar till att lindra symtom för att patienten ska uppnå en god livskvalitet. Syftet med studien var att ur sjuksköterskans perspektiv beskriva betydelsefulla faktorer för god palliativ vård och sjuksköterskans upplevelse av dessa faktorers betydelse för den palliativa vården av vuxna personer med cancer och deras närstående. En kvalitativ litteraturstudie valdes som metod där 8 kvalitativa artiklar valdes ut och analyserades enligt Graneheim och Lundmans modell för innehållsanalys.

There is a need for correct and adequate pain assessment in horses. Methadone is used in pain management in horses but the full pharmacokinetic picture of methadone is not yet known. The aim of this pilot study was to develop a behaviour protocol and suggest a reliable recording method for use in a larger research project with an aim to potentially correlate behaviours to concentration of methadone in blood. In this study two coldblooded trotters were given methadone intravenously with doses of 0.1 mg/kg for horse 1 and 0.2 mg/kg for horse 2. The horses were videotaped pre and post methadone administration.

Background: When a child ends up in a hospital the whole family will be affected. The family?s situation can be turned upside down and the daily life can be affected. The nurse needs to have a holistic approach when caring for the child and the rest of the family. For the nurse to be able to provide personalized information and care, they need a relationship with the child and family.

The aim of this undergraduate thesis was to examine the media?s portrayal of overweight and obese children and their surroundings, using the first and third dimensions of Fairclough?s three dimensional model for critical discourse analysis. The study addressed the following questions: How does the press, in this study represented by two newspapers, portray overweight and obese children? What discourses regarding overweight and obesity among children are the most prominent in these two newspapers? What risks and negative influences in the child?s surroundings are identified, and how are they described? What social representations can the images of overweight and obese children originate from? The analyzed material consisted of 62 articles from Dagens Nyheter and Aftonbladet, which were analyzed using the earlier mentioned method for discourse analysis, as well as the theory of social representations. The results showed that ?the fat child? and its environment were portrayed exclusively in negative terms, and a discourse linking obesity and ill-health dominated a large part of the material.

När personer drabbas av cancer och måste vårdas på sjukhus påverkas upplevelsen av vårdmiljön av utformning, design och atmosfär. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva patienters upplevelser av vårdmiljön när de genomgår behandling mot cancer. Tio vetenskapliga artiklar analyserades med kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Detta resulterade i fyra slutkategorier: Att relationen till vårdpersonal bygger på respekt och lyhördhet, Att ha behov av att träffa andra i liknande situationer, Att en hemlik miljö ger trygghet och Att själv kunna välja gemenskap och avskildhet. Dessa kategorier indikerade att det första intrycket var viktigt och betydelsefullt.

Bakgrund: När en person drabbas av cancer förändras hela ens livsvärld. Bristande kunskap ger en känsla av att inte få grepp om situationen och därför är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan ger en god omvårdnad med fokus på helhet och kommunikation. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att beskriva patienters upplevelser av sjuksköterskans bemötande vid cancerbehandling på sjukhus. Metod: En litteraturstudie som bygger på tio kvalitativa artiklar. Resultat: Genom analys hittades tre huvudkategorier: Vikten av bred kunskap hos sjuksköterskan, Vikten av en bra vårdrelation och Vikten av ett bra omhändertagande som gynnar patientens välbefinnande och viljan att vara delaktig.

Att drabbas av cancer är en mycket genomgripande upplevelse i livet och då särskilt för unga som genomgår stora omställningar med utveckling av den egna identiteten. Denna utveckling sker i samspel med omgivningen samtidigt som de genomgår en frigörelseprocess från föräldrarna. En cancerdiagnos kan innebära att mognadsprocessen försvåras med risk för isolering i det dagliga livet från såväl närstående som nära vänner. Behovet av stöd kan därför vara omfattande för unga personer som samtidigt som de är unga är på väg in i vuxenlivet. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att belysa vilka erfarenheter av stöd ungdomar och unga vuxna har när de genomgår behandling för cancer.

The purpose of this essay was to study some selected magazine articles by examining how the concept of child poverty is produced in the public debate, and to see if the definition of the term has changed over time. The theoretical approach on which this study is based has been used as a tool to provide better understanding on the subject. Furthermore, theories of consumer society, the "collateral damage" and the theory of welfare regimes have been used. In the previous research presented in the paper focuses on linking children and families living in precarious economic conditions, consumer standards and welfare systems that characterize society.This study has a qualitative approach as it attempts to capture and increase understanding of how the concept of child poverty can be understood from a Swedish context. The study is based on newspaper articles that are studied using a structural text analysis.

This essay focuses on the elderly and their religious beliefs and is based on the origin idea of a secular Sweden, but where immigration has been the source of additional various religious affiliations. This study intends to nuance the problems that previous researchers focused on when doing research on immigration, by interviewing staff members of nursing homes in immigrant dense areas, especially Malmoe, Gothenburg and Stockholm.The aim is to investigate how the allocation of residents, with different religious than Protestant Christians, is distributed at nursing homes and to see if there is a need for adjustments. Additionally, the thesis about immigrants and immigrants' identity and attitudes to Swedish society is discussed with John Berry´s acculturation theories and strategies.The results show that the majority of the nursing homes have residents with different religious affiliations and that some practical adjustments have been done, but it also shows that nursing homes have changed to the extent that they have adapted to a secular society. Ignorance and prejudice contribute to the problem in terms of seeing all residents as individuals and at the same time ensuring adaption according to all their needs, which is exemplified in the solutions made by using multi-cultural staff members and specialized departments. The relationship between nursing homes and the Swedish church continues but the role of the church service has changed.

One of the social services primary missions is to protect children from suffering harm. Social service work should work based on the child?s best and have the child's perspective in mind. In all cases involving children, the focus is on the child's needs and interests and is regulated in Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC). Both of the previous research and this study reveal the various markers that are evident in the social services handling of honor related cases.
