Problemställning: Stroke är en världsomspännande, allvarlig och kostnadskrävande sjukdom. Sjuksköterskans omvårdnadsinsatser av patienter med stroke bör anpassas individuellt och syfta till att främja återhämtning och förhindra komplikationer. Det är därför av vikt för sjuksköterskan att ha kunskap om hur strokedrabbade patienter upplever sin sjukdom. Syftet var att belysa patienters upplevelse av att drabbas av och leva med stroke.

I sjuksköterskans arbetsuppgifter ingår venösa blodprov och insättande av perifera venkatetrar (PVK). Även då patienten bär en blodsmitta skall detta utföras, vilket sätter sjuksköterskans professionalism och biologiska säkerhet på prov. Sjuksköterskans upplevelser inför att sticka en patient med känd blodsmitta är ett ämne som bör diskuteras mer. Föregås stickmomentet av rädsla eller obehagskänslor? Denna studie syftade till att undersöka sjuksköterskans tankar och upplevelser inför att sticka en patient med känd blodsmitta.

The purpose of this thesis was, on the mission of LRF Konsult Södra marknadsområdet, to research on why their customers were satisfied and/or dissatisfied. The research was performed in two segments: customers that had joined the company through acquisitions of other accounting firms and customers that had been in contact with LRF Konsult?s personal sellers.To be able to find the answer to our purpose we chose to do a qualitative study. Five interviews were performed with customers in southern Sweden, Skåne and Halland, to get their personal view of the service and of their relation to LRF Konsult and their contact person.The theories suggested that the satisfaction of the customers would increase depending on their relation with LRF Konsult and their contact person. Our research concluded the relation differed for each customer and that it was of great importance that the contact person at LRF Konsult understood and adapted the relation to what the customer wanted.

Tidigare forskning har visat att mindfulness kan höja livskvaliteten inom en rad områden som till exempel välbefinnande, inre motivation och prestation. Dock saknas studier om dess inverkan på arbetslivet. Syftet med den här uppsatsen var att undersöka vilken roll mindfulness eventuellt kan spela för människan i arbetslivet, särskilt för arbetstillfredsställelse och arbetsmotivation.  Respondenter var 103 yrkesverksamma individer i olika åldrar och från olika yrkesgrupper, varav 78 kvinnor. En kvantitativ enkätstudie gjordes där respondenterna självskattade 81 påståenden bestående av de tre etablerade mätinstrumenten Five Facet Mindfulness Questionairre (FFMQ), Work Extrinsic and Intrinsic Motivation Scale (WEIMS) och An Index of Job Satisfaction.
