Syftet med vår uppsats är att ta reda på hur anmälnings- och utredningsprocessen ser ut om man som yrkesverksam pedagog inom skolbarnsomsorgen gjort en anmälan vid misstanke om att ett barn far illa. Vi lyfter särskilt fram vad personal inom skola och socialtjänst upplever som problematiskt när en anmälan om ett barn som far illa görs och analyserar detta. Vi problematiserar även det sunda förnuftet när det gäller om en anmälan ska göras eller inte och definierar begreppet barn som far illa..

Bakgrund: Övervikt och fetma bland barn är en av de största folkhälosutmaningarna på 2000-talet och sprider sig som en epidemi i värlfärdsländer. Preventivt hälsoarbete ger en möjlighet att identifiera tidig övervikt och kunna sätta in åtgärder som hälsosamtal och rådgivande samtal i tid. Skolsköterskan har en viktig roll i att upptäcka övervikt och fetma hos barn i lågstadiet. Tidigare forskning har visat att föräldrarnas inställning och familjens livsstil har en stor inverkan på barnets övervikt. Syfte: Styftet med studien var att belysa skolsköterskors erfarenheter av föräldrars reaktioner vid samtal om barnets övervikt eller fetma i lågstadiet.

The aim of this study is to investigate the prevalence of computer consumption among boys in ninth grade, and to see if there were any differences with regards to physical activity, sleeping habits, breakfast habits and BMI.

The boys who had a high physical activity level were less frequent in computer consumption while those who had a low physical activity level spent more time by the computer.

Today many separated children and youth up to 18 years - children in the sense of the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child - flee from war and armed conflicts around the world. Many of them come to Sweden for protection and to apply for asylum.The aim of this study is to examine how the national Swedish news agency Tidningarnas Telegrambyrå - TT - constructs the image of separated children and youth. The main research questions have been: How does TT construct the image of the separated refugee children? The more detailed questions put to examine this main question have been: what are the issues being focused in the reporting and what discourses, voices and sources are let into the journalistic material?The theoretical perspective should be considered as social constructionistic where the basic idea is that the image of the separated child also constructs the way society looks upon them, their rights and their needs, affecting how these children will be welcomed and treated when thay arrive in our society. The empirical study is a qualitative analysis of text, produced in the span 2007- April 20th 2010.

Differences between girl and boys PAL values were not statistically significant, although the girls PAL values from the accelerometer, but not from the activity diary, reached a moderate activity level according to Nordic nutrition recommendation.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the understanding of the diagnoses ADHD and DAMP within different professional categories in the educational system, how it is being addressed and how this affect their work with children diagnosed with ADHD or DAMP. We also wanted to shed some light on the debate between Kärfve and Gillberg, about whether the diagnoses of ADHD and DAMP are social constructed problems or biological and genetic disorders. More specifically, our study was of a qualitative nature and consisted of interviews with seven persons working in six different professions within the educational system. The respondents all worked in school environments but with varied roles and thus varied experience of children with ADHD/DAMP. The interviews and literature studies revealed the complexity of ADHD and DAMP and also the diversity of the debate regarding the diagnoses.

Under de senaste 35 åren har övervikt och fetma ökat i Sverige och kostar sjukvården tre miljarder varje år. Patienter med övervikt kan känna sig otrygga samt kan känna ett obehag att söka vård på grund av rädsla för stereotypa attityder från sjukvårdspersonal. Syftet var att identifiera och beskriva forskning om sjuksköterskors och sjuksköterskestudenters attityder gentemot vuxna patienter med övervikt/fetma. En litteraturstudie har gjorts för att sammanställa vad forskningen påvisar.

Barn som drabbats av övervikt, har stadigt ökat i hela världen. Det har utvecklats till ett globalt hälsoproblem. Orsaken till den ohälsosamma viktuppgången hos barn beror på många faktorer, så som arv, fettrik och energität mat, ökat tv-utbud, datorns allt större plats i hemmet samt minskad fysisk aktivitet. Syftet med studien är att beskriva metoder som sjuksköterskan kan använda sig av för att stödja överviktiga barn till att ändra livsstil. Metoden som användes var en litteraturstudie, där sju artiklar valdes ut genom inklusions- och exklusionskriterier.
