Patienter på IVA är utsatta för obehagliga upplevelser, både genom sjukdom, behandling och vårdmiljö. Närstående beskriver känslor av overklighet och skräck. Patienter minns drömmar, mardrömmar och faktiska händelser lång tid efter intensivvårdsvistelsen. Dagbok används på många IVA-avdelningar för att ge patienten ett underlag att bearbeta händelser och eventuella minnesluckor från vårdtiden.

Introduktion: Det har skett en fördubbling av antalet höftfrakturer i västvärlden de två senaste årtionden vilket innebär stora kostnader för samhället och stort lidande för den enskilde. Om inte trenden bryts så kommer efterfrågan på vårdresurser för fallolyckor att nästan fördubblas inom några decennier. Syfte: Att granska om användandet av höftskyddsbyxan hos äldre minskar risken för höftfrakturer. Metod: Sökning av artiklar genomfördes i fyra databaser och randomiserade kontrollerade studier med kontrollgrupp som studerat höftskyddsbyxor och dess effekt och som även tittat på compliance valdes ut och granskades. Evidensstyrkan värderades i de enskilda studierna och resultatet av detta sammanställdes.

Background. Anesthetic-related death in small animal anesthesia is about ten times more common than in human anesthesia. Recent research identifies the early postoperative period as particularly risky and highlights the need for regular and careful monitoring of the veterinary patient during this period. Objective. The aims of this study were to investigate whether there are standard procedures in terms of regulated routine patient observations and record-keeping during the early postoperative period at Swedish veterinary clinics, and if there are any guidelines for monitoring the veterinary patient during recovery. Methods. A small survey including ten Swedish veterinary clinics was carried out as well as a literature review. Results.

Kan rörelse användas för att engagera användare och få dem att förlänga sin vistelse på en webbsida, det är denna studies frågeställning. Studien hade målet att ta fram ett underlag i form av guidelines som visar hur rörliggrafik påverkar engagemanget hos användare. För att ta fram dessa guidelines så gjordes en Explorativstudie med 16 personer i åldrarna 16 till 24 år gamla. Dessa 16 personer delades in i två grupper och varje person fick utvärdera totalt 4 webbsidor vilka hade olika nivåer av rörlighet i kombination av interaktion. Studiens resultat visade att rörliggrafik bidrog till ökandet av engagemang hos användare när de besökte underhållningswebbsidor.

A publicly funded elderly care that is widely available at people?s homes has been described as unique for the Nordic countries.
