The purpose of this master thesis is to examine some pre-school teacher's and parent's perceptions about communication within the pre-school context and how this can be described in terms of conceptual dichotomy.The empirical investigation consists of a qualitative study, where data have been collected by interviewing two focus groups and one single parent.The main theoretical tools which the study uses as its premiss is Derridas' theory of hospitality and Habermas' theory of deliberative dialogues. The study also considers the conception of the intermediate domain as an arena for communication between parents and pre-school teachers, and further more the conception of stereotyping in social and cultural contexts.In order to explore these processes I have used the qualitative method of interpretation; Hermeneutic, also with a narrative approach to the analysis.The results and the analysis of the data show that the interviewed parent and pre-school teachers have a poor sense of knowing how much influence to give to each other. The parents were not satisfied with the level of open communication and how the pre-school teachers share information of the activities..

Syftet var att undersöka vad som framkallade upplevelser av stress hos sjuksköterskor inom kommunal äldrevård samt att belysa hur sjuksköterskorna gjorde för att hantera dessa situationer. Studien hade en kvalitativ deskriptiv design och data samlades in med hjälp av enskilda intervjuer med sex sjuksköterskor. Materialet analyserades enligt Graneheim och Lundmans kvalitativa innehållsanalys. Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskorna hade egna krav som inte kunde motsvaras och att verksamheten stundtals inte gav förutsättningar för sjuksköterskorna att utföra ett bra omvårdnadsarbete. Vårdpersonal och anhöriga ställde ibland högre krav än vad sjuksköterskorna kunde motsvara vilket kunde leda till en känsla av frustration.
