Det svenska samhället blir alltmer mångkulturellt. I och med den ökade invandringen behöver hälso- och sjukvård uppmärksamma kulturens betydelse för patienters hantering av sin sjukdom. Utan förståelse för individers kulturella värderingar är det svårt för vårdpersonal att förstå hur individers copingmönster påverkas vid ohälsa. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att belysa hur kulturella hälsoövertygelser kan påverka människors copingmönster vid ohälsa. Till resultatet användes 13 artiklar (elva kvalitativa, en kvantitativ samt en som var både kvantitativ och kvalitativ) som granskades och analyserades.

The purpose of this paper is to examine the image of the Titanic disaster in two Swedish newspapers reports of the disaster. By analysing various newspapers reporting of the disaster, we wish to investigate whether there are differences in reporting of gender and class in order to say something about the contemporary outlook and the prevailing social beliefs.The source material that the study is based upon comes from the Swedish newspapers Aftonbladet and Svenska Dagbladet and their reports from the 15 April to the 30 April 1912 and the reporting from the time of the sea-hearings completion (22 May and 31 July 1912).The study finds that news reporting follows the same standards, however, are different in style of performance because of the newspapers' differing positions.The study finds that a distinction is made between the reporting of men's and women's behaviour. Whether a man followed or violated norms leads him criticized or praised in the newspapers. Women's behaviour is hailed independent if they followed the standard of what was feminine or masculine behaviour in a disaster.The study also finds that a distinction is made between passengers of the various classes in the reporting. The majority of reports concerning individuals in the First Class are in positive terms.

Syftet med föreliggande studie var att belysa hur några individer, på ett positivt sätt, handskats med problematiken runt alopeci vid cytostaticabehandling. Följande frågeställningar har varit i fokus: Hur såg dessa individers copingstrategier ut innan, under och efter håravfall? Finns det någon gemensam nämnare mellan individer som till synes har en väl fungerande  copingstrategi? Ostrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes samt skriftliga källor såsom bloggar och berättelser användes.Det resultat som kunde utläsas ur materialet har bland annat pekat på hur olika kamoufalgestrategier använts samt hur situationsbundna dessa var. Flertalet deltagare använde sig av såkallade anicipatory coping, såsom att införskaffa olika typer av camoufalge som inte nödvändigtvis kom till användning senare. Två olika strategier användes för att handskas med alopecin, antingen inkorporrerades hårlösheten som en del av personligheten eller så sågs utseendeförändringen som en ovidkommande del av sjukdomsförloppet som var skiljd från personligheten.
