Med denna litteraturstudie var syftet att få insikt i copingstrategier som sjuksköterskor i mötet med patienter med cancer använder. Med inspiration av Goodmans metodologi samlades tio vetenskapliga artiklar in från de tre databaserna PubMed, CINAHL och PsycINFO. Artiklarna var både kvantitativa och kvalitativa. Dessa granskades och kvalitetsbedömdes individuellt av de två författarna före resultatet sammanställdes. I resultatet kunde åtta övergripande copingstrategier urskiljas: planering, gränsdragning, konfrontation, stöd, fly undan, positiv omvärdering, ventilera känslor och acceptans.

The interest for wind power has increased in Sweden. Northern Sweden is especially interesting due to that a new wind resource map shows that there are areas in northern Sweden that have more potential for wind power than what have been known before. Therefore E.ON Vind is interested in finding out if, and where, there are suitable places for establishment of wind power in northern Sweden. The purpose of this master thesis is therefore to perform an inventory of northern Sweden for suitable places for wind power. The master thesis is performed at E.ON Vinds office at Vasagatan in Stockholm.

Assessment of hearing aids can be done by inventories. The result of the inventories can show the patients need and how the hearing aids works in the patients daily life. The result of the inventories can be influenced by the difference in languages and the cultures. The inventory IOI-HA should not be sensitive to those factors.The aim of this study was to compare and analyse material, method and to report and analyse the result from a pilot study made at Sahlgrenska University.The result showed that IOI-HA is a natural inventory which is able to be used internationally. The four studies in England, USA, the Netherlands, and Germany showed that the psychometric properties are similar across languages and cultures.

AbstractThe Municipality Council decided in 2010 to develop a comprehensive energy efficiency strategy with financial and methodological support from Energimyndigheten (The Swedish Energy Agency). The strategy should include 3 major parts: an inventory of the 2009 energy use defining the current situation, the 2014 and 2020 goals for energy use, and an action plan for goal achievements. According to Energimyndigheten, the strategy must include all municipal administration premises, vehicles, and all majority-owned companies (as Laholmshem, the municipal housing company).The report describes the inventory work in order to obtain the 2009 energy use and the sources of information used. The inventory values are used as the base year values for the 2014 and 2020 goals. The inventory showed that information about the vehicles is dispersed in the municipal administration and no clear structure exists with respect to mileage and fuels used.

According to statistics, a significant increase in sickness has occurred in the public sector in recent decades in Sweden. Human therapeutic professions is the area where the illness is most prevalent. The purpose of this study was through a qualitative method and hermeneutic approaches explore how conscious six social workers in the social services are on stress and how they cope with it. Further it investigates and analyzes how these results affect their daily work.One important result due to stress is that the social workers ability to treat their clients is impaired and they are less able to be empathetic.

Syfte: Syftet med den befintliga studien var att genom en pathanalys pröva delar av Birrer et al.´s (2012) föreslagna modell, detta genom att vid tre mättillfällen undersöka samband mellan dispositionell mindfulness, emotionsreglering och idrottspsykologiska färdigheter (motivation, coping).Resultat: Den befintliga studiens modell visade longitudinella predicerande samband mellan dispositionell mindfulness för emotionsreglering, samt emotionsreglering för coping och motivation (Inre motivation, amotivation).Design: Longitudinell korrelationsstudie med tre mätningar. Metod: 65 deltagare varav 33 kvinnor och 32 män fyllde i enkäten (se bilaga 1). Modellen baserades på de 47 deltagare som fyllt i enkäten vid samtliga tre tillfällen. Slutsats: Den befintliga studiens modell stämmer, vilket innebär att mindfulnessträning med högre grad av dispositionell mindfulness som följd även ger främjande effekter för flertalet processer. Vidare konstateras att emotionsreglering är en central del i påverkansprocessen av mindfulness för att nå de idrottspsykologiska färdigheterna.

The forests of Sweden are constantly changing. Map studies indicate that the amount of deciduous trees in Sweden has decreased in recent years in favor of the coniferous trees. The National Forest Inventory has since the early 1920s monitored the Swedish forests and in recent years has made the old data digitally available. In the present project, we have investigated how the numbers of stems in different diameter classes have changed for birch and other deciduous trees. The inventory was conducted in the same manner as in the first forest inventory.

Burn out is common among people who work with other people and occurs in both ecclesiastical and non ecclesiastical context. In recent years, the phenomenon has attracted increasing attention in the Church of Sweden and among persons who hold a consecration service as priests.The purpose of this essay is to study the text material from the two authors (Lennart Belfrage 2009 and Martin Petré 2013) and to analyze and describe them. Another goal is to see how the coping theory may be helpful for this group of priests to handle the situation arising in the time of burnout.I have used the qualitative research and hermeneutics method for categorize and encode the material in order to interpret and understand the underlying causes that could explain burnout among priests in the Church of SwedenPargaments (1997) coping theory has been important for analysis and explanation of burnout among a group of priests in the Church of Sweden.In the result, I have found four components that may be useful in the understanding of the cause of burnout. The analysis shows that Pargaments (1997) coping theory is useful to manage complex situations for example burnout, among priests in the Church of Sweden..

Omlokalisering av statlig verksamhet innebär att statliga organisationer flyttar från en ort till en annan. Under 2008 slutförs den största statliga omlokaliseringen i Sverige sedan 1970-talet och detta innebär ett unikt tillfälle att studera en typ av organisationsförändring som är relativt outforskad. Syftet med denna studie var att beskriva hur personalen som valde att inte flytta med organisationen upplevde omlokaliseringen, samt hur de använde coping för att hantera denna organisationsförändring. Induktiv tematisk analys av fyra intervjuer resulterade i fem huvudsakliga teman med underteman. Dessa visade att personalen upplevde omlokaliseringen som påfrestande eftersom den ledde till utanförskap och oro över egen anställningsbarhet.

The aim of this master thesis is to explore what role libraries play in the educational process for university students suffering from dyslexia. The question at issue is whether the library is able to meet the needs of students who have difficulty in using the libraries main resource, i.e. printed documents and information in written form. An often expressed view indicates that the modern library creates a lot of obstacles for dyslectic students. The method used is a literature study followed by an empirical study in which interviews were conducted with four students suffering from dyslexia and studying at two different universities and using different libraries.

Syftet med studien var att undersöka: (1) vilka stressorer som elitgolfare exponeras för; (2) hur elitgolfare reagerar på stress samt (3) hur elitgolfare hanterar stress som uppkommer. Totalt deltog tio elitgolfare i studien, av vilka fem var kvinnor och fem var män. En semistrukturerad intervjuguide användes under personliga intervjuer. Intervjuerna analyserades genom en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultatet som framkom i denna studie ligger huvudsakligen i linje med den tidigare forskningen som har gjorts inom området där stressreaktioner såsom nedstämdhet och frustration var frekvent förekommande bland elitgolfarna.
