The purpose of this study was to broaden knowledge about how native language support works in three pre-schools departments in a multicultural area. The questions were how native support works in the current pre-schools departments, which language development methods and forms used by educators to work with native language support, and if they experience any difficulties. I used interviews as a research method, with three child-care and one preschool teacher.The results showed that all departments on both of the pre-schools have native language support with a permanent bilingual staff, outside the ordinary activity. The mother tongue is also spoken in the everyday activities in two of the departments. The third department is only spoken native language with their children if they do not understand what they say in Swedish, or if they are sad.The concrete material is lifted up as a good and important tool in all three language groups, because verbal language is not always enough for all children to understand.

A method as proceed from such a perspective and should be able to match a local child- and educations administration is problembased school development.

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka om det finns vetenskapliga belägg för att massage lindrar smärta. Studien inriktades på cancer- och rygg-smärta och massagens användning som omvårdnadsåtgärd samt alternativ/ komplementär smärtlindringsmetod vid just dessa tillstånd. Goodmans systematiska metod användes i modifierad form. Sammanställningen bygger på nio vetenskapliga artiklar där resultatet visar att det vetenskapliga underlaget för att massage kan användas som alternativ/komplementär smärtlindringsmetod vid cancer- och ryggsmärta är otillräckligt. Massage kan dock eventuellt användas som omvårdnadsåtgärd på kort sikt vid cancersmärta.

Syfte Studiens syfte var att undersöka: självskattad hälsorelaterad livskvalitet hos tonåringar som drabbats av cancer två år (T5), tre år (T6) och fyra år (T7) efter diagnos, samt att jämföra deras skattningar med en referensgrupp randomiserad från befolkningen. Metod Tonåringarna med cancer besvarade SF-36 2 år (N=38), 3 år (N=42) samt 4 år (N=39) efter diagnos. En referensgrupp (N=300) randomiserad av Statistiska centralbyrån (SCB) besvarade samma formulär vid ett tillfälle. Samtlig data insamlades via telefonintervju. Resultat Två år efter diagnos skattar gruppen med cancerdiagnostiserade tonåringar sin fysiska funktion, rollfunktion ? fysiska orsaker, allmän hälsa samt summaindex för fysisk hälsa lägre än referensgruppen. Denna skillnad avtar över tid och vid tre år efter diagnos skattar gruppen med cancerdiagnostiserade tonåringar fysisk funktion och allmän hälsa lägre än referensgruppen.

Bakgrund: På senare tid har närståendes roll i vården fått en ökad betydelse. I Sverige insjuknar varje år 50 000 individer i cancer. När sjukdomen övergått i sen palliativ fas väljer allt fler patienter att vårdas den sista tiden av livet i hemmet. Mer ansvar läggs därigenom på närstående vilket lett till ett ökat behov av stöd åt närstående. Syfte: Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa närståendes upplevelse av stöd när en familjemedlem med cancer vårdas i sen palliativ fas i hemmet.

This study, a narrative analysis of it, deals with the term, home, its importance and the use of it by Child welfare investigators in the city of Malmö between the years 1930-1936. Commonly used and acknowledged, home stood for security and order while the term, street, had just the opposite meaning. Living in the countryside symbolized health and sensibility, while city life was considered to be cramped, dirty and immoral. The responsibility of achieving the liberals and conservatives ideal of a sunny, clean and orderly home was given to the woman of the house, as was the task of keeping the home morally correct, and providing the necessary atmosphere for proper upbringing of the children. Consequently, the basis of theory, using Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels in regards to the conflicts between the upper and lower classes, and even theories of Jane Lewis of woman´s connection to home and family, have been the grounds for the study.

Cancer är idag en vanlig sjukdom som uppstår på grund av okontrollerad celltillväxt och kan visa sig som cirka 200 olika sjukdomar beroende på vilken celltyp som drabbas. Trots dagens standardterapier med kirurgi, strålning och kemoterapi så dör årligen runt 23 000 människor av cancer i Sverige. Dödsfallen beror ofta på svåråtkomliga metastaser som bildats från ursprungstumören och sedan spridits med blod och lymfa ut i kroppen. En långt gången cancer kan även visa upp resistens mot vissa terapier, vilket försvårar behandling ytterligare.  Det är därför viktigt att nya effektiva läkemedel och behandlingsmetoder utvecklas. Ett alternativ är onkolytisk virusterapi.

Varje år diagnostiseras 10 000 män med sjukdomen prostatacancer i Sverige. Att drabbas av sjukdomen prostatacancer är emotionellt ansträngande. Väntetiden vad gäller behandling för patienter med prostatacancer är lång. Detta gör att patienter med prostatacancer lever med sjukdomen prostata-cancer och känslorna kopplade till diagnosen prostatacancer under en lång tid.

AbstractWorking with child and youth welfare is one of the most difficult challenges a social worker might face in the field of social work. Those who work with child and youth welfare are more exposed to stress and burnout than other comparable human service occupations. Research links the prevalence of stress and burnout to several key variables, such as demographics, working conditions and personality factors. In contrast, even though social workers in this field face many negative work-related problems they report a high job satisfaction. The aim of this study is to examine how uplifting and straining experiences affect social workers, who work with child and youth welfare, through the use of The Critical Incident Technique and interviews.

Bakgrund: När ett barn diagnostiseras med cancer förändras livet för hela familjen. Fokus på det sjuka barnet gör att syskon lätt glöms bort. Därför är det viktigt att sjuksköterskan verkar stödjande för syskon och familjen som helhet och tillgodoser de behov som uppkommer i situationen. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva specifika behov hos syskon till cancersjuka barn. Metod: Studien utformades som en litteraturöversikt där tio artiklar med kvalitativ ansats inkluderades.

Bakgrund. Kärnan i hälso- och sjukvården är mötet mellan vårdpersonal och patient. Det finns ett missnöje med vården bland patienter med diagnostiserad cancer. För att kunna förbättra vården är det viktigt att vårdpersonalen har kunskap och är medvetna om vad en diagnostiserad cancerpatient upplever som bra och dåligt vid mötet med vården. Syfte.
