The fact that Sweden has changed from a homogeneous to a heterogeneous culture with multiculturalism as key word requires an intercultural approach in the community and school. The purpose of this study was to examine how teachers of maternal languages experience their teaching in school and what resources they have available from their employer and the municipality. What methods do the teachers in maternal languages use in their teaching at school and what resources do they have to their disposal? How do teachers in maternal languages use the perspective of intercultural education in their teaching and how do the teachers look on their future role in the Swedish school. To achieve this I have chosen the method to make depth interviews with 6 teachers of maternal languages and compare and relate the result to the theories about interculturality and the circle model, to official curricula and to existing literature in this subject.Teachers of maternal languages are very spread out, they work in several schools and sometimes even in different municipalities, during the same week.

Det har forskats en hel del om föräldrars delaktighet i omvårdnaden av sitt sjuka barn, men forskningen rörande föräldrarnas förväntningar på sjuksköterskan är inte lika omfattande. Syftet har varit att belysa föräldrars förväntningar på sjuksköterskan vid vård av inlagda barn 0-18 år. Studien har genomförts som en litteraturstudie där resultatet bygger på åtta (8) vårldsomfattande vetenskapliga forskningsrapporter. Som teoretisk referensram har Calgary modellen för familjecentrerad omvårdnad använts. I resultatet framträdde följande kategorier som var betydelsefulla förväntningar från föräldrarna: information, tillgänglighet, kontinuitet, stöd - förtroende samt samarbete - delaktighet.
