Bakgrund: Intensivvårdssjuksköterskans yrke är utmanande, fartfyllt och stressigt det har många studier visat i sina resultat. Kraven på sjuksköterskan är stora och arbetet karaktäriseras av multisjuka patienter som ofta behöver snabba akuta insatser för att överleva. För att bättre kunna hantera stressen använder sig sjuksköterskan av olika copingstrategier. Den arbetsrelaterade stressen påverkar också privatlivet.Syfte: Syftet är att undersöka vad intensivvårdssjuksköterskor upplever som stress på arbetet, hur de hanterar den stressen och hur privatlivet påverkas.Metod: Designen var en deskriptiv studie med kvalitativ ansats. Tio intensivvårdssjuksköterskor på en neurokirurgisk intensivvårdsavdelningen på ett universitetssjukhus i Mälardalen intervjuades med semistrukturerade frågor och textmaterialet analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys.Resultat: Tre teman framkom ur materialet: (1) arbetets organisation och struktur påverkar intensivvårdssjuksköterskan, (2) intensivvårdssjuksköterskans hantering, reflektion och bearbetning av stress och (3) intensivvårdssjuksköterskans upplevelser och känslor vid stress.Slutsats: För att sjuksköterskan ska må bra, behålla sin hälsa och få arbetstillfredsställelse så behövs det balans mellan arbete och fritid.

This thesis addresses the subject of internal communication between the leadership and the employees. Communication is a common process and according to Tufvesson (2008), the primary focus has been on the role and responsibility of the leadership. This can mean that, from the employee's point of view, it is not clear what the organization expects, and this lack of clarity dimishes the ability of the employees to live up to those expectations (ibid). Tufvesson (2008) believes that today's organizations need common interpretations, which requires a well thought out communication strategy between leadership and employees. Because communication represents an organization's functionality, the report?s authors were interested in studying the employees? representatives.

A social intranet is an information and communication channel that is relatively new. There is still a small amount of research done around social intranet and what it is, and also on what organizations and their members may benefit from using such an intranet. Therefore, this paper was written with the purpose to em-phasize the reasons, possibilities and difficulties of implementing and using a so-cial intranet. With interview as method we took part of the experiences and views on social intranet from a number of organizations that are using or is about to establish a social intranet, and also from companies who deliver the service. Through the use of previous research in organizational communication, we then analysed the responses we received from our respondents.

Allt fler kvinnor söker sig till rektorsyrket. Medan yrket har blivit mer kvinnodominerat har även arbetsvillkoren blivit hårdare. Långa dagar med mycket oförutsedda arbetsuppgifter gör rektorsyrket till ett tungt arbete. Studier visar att det fortfarande är kvinnan som tar hand om det mesta i hemarbetet. Tuffa arbetsvillkor och mycket ansvar i hemmet kan leda till långvarig stress.

The purpose of this thesis was to highlight how different aspects of market communication are used when micro companies choose to use both Internet and store selling activities towards the consumer market. The thesis dealt with off-line and on-line communication considerations with focus on advertising, interactions, and relations. In order to achieve this purpose a case study was conducted, that revealed that the companies acted according to theories. The conclusions drawn from the thesis were that companies tended to rely on traditional ways of dealing with advertising and interaction. We could also see that relations were created as a result of unconscious behavior and that the Internet activities still were on a basic level..

The aim of this study was to examine how children in the age of 5 are communicating in play at the preschool and how their fantasy games are different from each other. In this study, I have gained a greater insight on how to control children's imagination games.My approach has been the observation of three fun times where I also used me out of a voice recorder to record children's voices when their children are communicating with each other during the time of play at the preschool.The results of my study showed that children's fantasy games based on children's past experiences in which children use different themes and characters. The children's communication activities are different from each other. Children have different themes but the deck is based on imagination and communication.Fantasy games that children perform is rooted in the experiences that children get through to experience and see the reality.

When working with market communications it is important that ones brand is noticed and remembered, for which the marketer has many tools at hand. This study compares the communicative effects of PR and paid advertisement on consumers, in response to the underlying purpose to provide a theoretical framework for better understanding the relative effects of the two tools. In the struggle for consumers? attention we find ads to be a tool to achieve wider brand knowledge, whilst PR is rewarded more extensive elaboration once noticed. The study also affirms the causal link between communication credibility, attitude toward the communication and brand attitude.

Introduktion: Stress i arbetslivet har ökat i samhället och undersökningar visar att arbetsrelaterad stress är vanligare hos dem som arbetar med människor exempelvis inom hälso- och sjukvården. Tidigare forskning pekar på att det finns många olika stressfaktorer i arbetet som orsakar stress hos sjuksköterskor och distriktssköterskor. Att kunna hantera stress genom att använda sig av egna strategier kan bidra till att minska den. Distriktssköterskors yrke innefattar ett brett kompetensområde där många olika arbetsuppgifter inkluderas. Förutom att vårda och hjälpa patienter på olika sätt har hon eller han också ett ansvar att styra, organisera och förbättra arbetet inom det egna arbetsområdet.

The present study examines the effect of a nine-hour Acceptance and Commitment Training (ACT) intervention for teachers who experience stress. Twenty-two teachers from four different counties in southern Sweden were randomly allocated to an ACT intervention (n=15) and a control group (n=7). The ACT condition received three three-hour sessions of ACT over a six-week period, and the control group received a three-hour stress lecture at one occasion. At a follow-up four-weeks after completed intervention, ACT participants showed significant in-group differences on stress, psychological flexibility, general health, and burnout. At a between group comparison, only psychological flexibility was significantly enhanced at the follow-up.

During twelve weeks of practice experience at the company Sydved AB, I received the mission to develop a structure for the company?s internal communication. A part of this mission was to find out what the company?s employees thought of Sydveds internal communication and the most important; Sydveds intranet called ?Outlook?. Due to Sydveds plans of developing the intranet I designed and accomplished an inquiry-study to find out about the employee?s opinions on the company´s internal communication and in particular their intranet.The answers I want from this study are if I shaped the inquiry-study correctly the first time.

In speech and language intervention, the ability to interact is seldom evaluated; rather intervention is evaluated in terms of improved testresults.  If goal-setting in intervention also is based on everyday communicative needs, the relevance of the treatment may be increased and intervention outcome may be implemented in the patient?s natural environment.The present study, as part of a research-project, is based on analyses of interaction and interviews to examine everyday conversations and speech and language intervention. The aim was to explore if there is a relation between everyday communication needs and goal-setting in speech and language intervention for people with aphasia. A further aim was to investigate if there are everyday communicative needs that may form goals for speech and language intervention.Two individuals with aphasia and one individual with both dysarhtria and aphasia participated in the study. Three speech and language pathologists and two relatives also participated in the study.

Dementia may cause difficulties in communicating. People suffering from dementia are therefore often described as being unable to take part in meaningful conversation. The responsibility to create understanding in a conversation is shared by all participants. By means of different strategies, participants in conversation can construct understanding through collaboration. How these strategies are utilized in conversation where one or more of the participants suffer from dementia is relatively unknown.
