Problem: Trots den kunskap som idag finns om smärtbe-dömningens betydelse för en adekvat smärtbehandling kvar-står på många sjukhus problem med smärtbedömning av pa-tienter med långvarig smärta. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa faktorer som inverkar på sjuksköterskans smärtbedömning av patienter med långvarig smärta. Metod: Studien var en litteraturstudie, 14 artiklar (10 kvanti-tativa och 4 kvalitativa) som motsvarade litteraturstudiens syfte granskades och analyserades. Resultat: Resultatet utföll i två kategorier: sjuksköterskans kunskap, kommunikation och attityd samt patientens upple-velser och uttryck av långvarig smärta. Att tro på patientens upplevelse och uttryck av smärta var en av de viktigaste tyngdpunkterna i smärtbedömningen av patienter med lång-varig smärta.

ABSTRACT The persons whom the authorized nurse encounters in hospital wards and nursing homes are in great extent elderly persons. According to Wasserman (2000), about 30 to 40 percent among these, show signs of depression. To be aware of the signs of depression, and how an authorized nurse can support the patient is therefore of great value. The introduction to this study describes the symptoms of depression and how depression in elders is expressed. It also describes treatment possibilities and nursing aspects of concern.

The core process is responsible for internal business development and is the process that runs through the organization and the results which creates a value for the customer. Some research suggests that identification of the client's conscious or unconscious needs clarifying the so-called core process in the organization and operations can thus be more effective. The study aims to identify and analyze the experience of the core process within child health care. The method has been interviews with nine managers and 10 clinic nurses in a county. The results show a lack of knowledge regarding core process and process work.

The United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child (UNCRC) was ratified by Sweden in 1990. Among its principles is devotion to the best interests of the child (article 3). This principle is hard to define, and it is difficult to find studies on how children express themselves about how the convention should be realized. The Swedish government wants local councils to introduce routines that follow the proposed rights. The Swedish school system is an important arena where UNCRC?s rights can be put into practice.

Bakgrund:Varje år drabbas fler och fler människor av cancer och de flesta har många funderingar, tankar och känslor kopplade till både sjukdomen i sig och till   den behandling som ges. Strålbehandling är en av de vanligaste behandlingsformerna mot cancer idag. Strålning   medför nästan alltid att patienten tvingas genomgå ett antal mer eller mindre   obehagliga biverkningar för att bli fri sin cancer. Därmed finns en risk att patientens hälsa och välmående försämras. För att vi som sjuksköterskor ska kunna ge god vård är det viktigt att få en djupare förståelse för patienternas situation under och efter strålbehandling.Syfte:Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva upplevelsen i samband med strålbehandling hos personer med cancer.Metod:Litteraturöversikt enligt Fribergs metod (2012) där 11 artiklar med kvalitativ design analyserades till resultatet. Resultat:Tre huvudteman framkom; Upplevelse av vårdmiljön, Hela tillvaron påverkas samt Social isolering och mellanmänskliga relationer.

In connection with riding and handling of horses, many accidents that can cause severe injuries to both horses and humans are existent. The cause is in most cases that the horse is frightened. The horse's fear also affects its usefulness and it has been shown to have adverse effects on the horse's welfare. To increase safety and improve the welfare of both humans and horses, it is important to find appropriate training methods to reduce the fear of horses in frightening situations. This experimental study compares handled habituation to free habituation.

Syfte: Syftet med denna pilotstudie var att undersöka om anestesisjuksköterskans skattning av postoperativ smärta skiljer sig fran patientens egenskattade VAS. Bakgrund: Flertalet studier visar att sjuksköterskor underskattar patienters smärta och att VAS inte används i tillräcklig utsträckning vid smärtskattning. Många erfarna sjuksköterskor tenderar att lita mer på sin intuitiva känsla om patientens smärta än på vad patienten säger. Metod: Åtta anestesisjuksköterskor på ett sjukhus i storstadsregionen fick genom ett frågeformulär skatta 44 patienters postoperativa smärta utifrån en beteenderelaterad skala och fysiologiska parametrar. Detta värde jämfördes med patientens egenskattade VAS/NRS.

Background: Borderline personality disorder is a psychiatric diagnosis that one to two percent of the population and at least every fourth patient that have received treatment at a psychiatric clinic has been diagnosed with. BPD is most common in women between teenage and early adulthood. Purpose: The aim of this literature study was to emphasize the nursing care of patients diagnosed with BPD within different perspectives. Method: A literature study was conducted to get a deeper understanding for the nursing care of patients with BPD. The search for pertinent articles, answering to the aim of the study, was done in different databases.

Background: Documents and legislation inform us that parts of the public health service of Sweden, at a political level, aim to support people?s sexual health. Statistics show there has been an increase among young woman, seeking help for sexual pain during intercourse. The diagnosis that the media has come to observe lately is vulvar vestibulitis. In general there is a lack of knowledge about the existence of this state of pain and its causes, which impacts woman to get appropriate help and support in time.

The aim of this literature study has been to investigate the general nurse's knowledge of diabetes type 1 and its complications. The questions were: What does the general nurse need to know about diabetes type 1? What does the general nurse know about diabetes type 1? To answer these questions, a literature study has been done of 8 scientific articles. The theoretical reference study on which the study has been based is Gustafsson's SAUK Model for affirmative nursing care. The result shows that the nurse lacks knowledge in the nursing care of diabetes patients and this reflects the fact that little research has been done on diabetes mellitus type 1 in recent years.
