Bakgrund: Den psykiatriska vården har under de senaste 100 åren utvecklats, däremot har synen på psykisk ohälsa inte följt samma process. Allmänheten ochsjukvården har idag en negativ attityd gentemot personer med psykisk ohälsa på grund av okunskap som resulterar i stigmatisering. Att dettaexisterar i sjukvården är ett problem eftersom det är det största forum dit personer med psykisk ohälsa kan vända sig för hjälp. Syfte: Attbeskriva sjuksköterskestudenters syn på patienter med psykisk ohälsa. Metod: Kvalitativ empirisk studie med semistrukturerade enkätfrågor.

Syfte - Syftet med studien var att utifrån litteraturen beskriva hur patienter med långvarig smärta upplever och vill bli bemötta inom sjukvården samt vilken kvalitet de till studien valda artiklarna hade rörande urval.Metod ? 13 artiklar rörande patienter med långvarig smärta sammanställdes i en litteraturstudie. Artiklarna söktes i Pubmed samt Cinahl.Huvudresultat ? I resultatet framkom det att patienter upplever både positiva och negativa upplevelser gällande bemötande i vården.

Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva effekten av meningsfulla aktiviteter för personer med psykisk ohälsa. För att besvara studiens syfte gjorde författarna en litteraturöversikt i avsikt att få en fördjupad kunskap om aktuell forskning inom området. De 13 artiklar som valdes ut till studien kvalitetsgranskades och analyserades utifrån en manifest kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Dataanalysen resulterade i fem kategorier och dessa är: ?Meningsfulla aktiviteter används som en copingstrategi?, ?Meningsfulla aktiviteter har en positiv effekt på sjukdomsförloppet?, ?Meningsfulla aktiviteter har en stärkande effekt på jaget?, ?Meningsfulla aktiviteter främjar utvecklandet av personliga förmågor? samt ?Meningsfulla aktiviteter ger personen positiva känslor?.

Background: When a patient suffer from a disease and is in need of palliative care, it is normal to have existential questions and thoughts. For some patients these questions can be painful and the nurse need to have knowledge about dealing with these kind of questions and thoughts to be able to relieve and/or prevent this kind of suffering.Aim: The aim was to describe how the nurse can prevent the existential suffering among patients with palliative care.Method: A literature-based study was based on eight qualitative studies.Results: The results showed that nurses meet patients in the palliative care environment which may suffer from existential problems when their questions and thoughts don´t get answered.

Syfte: Att ur patienters perspektiv belysa problematik med mat och kostråd vid kronisk hjärtsvikt. Metod: En litteraturstudie där tio kvalitativa eller kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar ingår.

It is common knowledge that our horses do occasionally hurt themselves and cause damage to their bodies. They also manage to do it in the most remarkable ways. The problem is not that they hurt themselves, because everybody does so from time to time. The problem is that they often experience difficulties with the healing of the wounds. The cause to that problem is the fact that they often lose a vast amount of tissue, the wound is more often than not extensively contaminated and the wound is often found a long time after the accident occurred.

As a public nurse there is a great probability that you will meet patients that have had a myocardial infarction. We want to contribute to create a greater understanding of how a nurse can support and understand these people. The last 30 years the infarction care has made a big progress. Still many conceptions remain which means that for many people a myocardial infarction leads to a belief that this is the end of the working life, social life, sparetime activities and travelling. Due to this misbelief it is important that the nurse creates good conditions for the patient right from the start.

Breast cancer is the most common form of cancer affecting women. The treatment of breast cancer may lead to forcing the woman to remove her breast.

Delaktigheten på den öppna arbetsmarknaden är låg för personer med psykisk funktionsnedsättning. Metoden Supported employment (SE) har visat sig vara framgångsrik i att hjälpa denna målgrupp att nå, få och behålla ett arbete på den reguljära arbetsmarknaden. Fokus har i forskning riktats mot metodens effektivitet men denna studie inriktar sig på arbetskonsulentens stöd inom SE och syftet i studien är att utforska vad dennes stöd betyder för deltagaren i metoden. Kvalitativa intervjuer har genomförts med tre deltagare och en gruppintervju med tre arbetskonsulenter. Det skräddarsydda, det instrumentella och det emotionella stödet samverkar och leder till empowerment för två deltagare, som har nått en praktikplats där de trivs och kommer till sin rätt.
