Syftet med denna studie är att undersöka om det finns ett samband mellan opredicerbara föräldrar och förekomsten av både interna och externa beteendeproblem hos ungdomar. I studien undersöks interna beteendeproblem såsom låg självkänsla och depression samt de externa beteendeproblemen brottslighet och aggression. Studien baseras på 1018 ungdomar i åldrarna 13- 15 år. Studien utgår från en enkätundersökning där fem olika skalor används för att mäta ungdomarnas självkänsla, depression, brottslighet och aggression samt hur konsekventa deras föräldrar är. Resultaten visar i allt väsentligt att de ungdomar som har både interna och externa beteendeproblem är de som rapporterar högst i opredicerbarhet hos sina föräldrar..

Denna studie undersökte en ACT-baserad stresshanteringskurs för patienter med blandad stressrelaterad problematik inom primärvården (N=26). Stress, ångest, depression och livskvalitet mättes genom självskattning före och efter interventionen som genomfördes i två omgångar. För att få svar på frågor om deltagarnas upplevelser av kursen genomfördes intervjuer med ett slumpmässigt urval av deltagarna (N=7). Analys av självskattad stress, ångest, depression och livskvalitet visade en signifikant förbättring för samtliga variabler. Effektstyrkan var hög för stress och låg till måttlig för övriga variabler.

Bakgrund: Sveriges äldre befolkning ökar samtidigt som medellivslängden bland äldre människor stiger. Forskning visar att malnutrition hos äldre har ökat och fler ligger i riskzonen för att drabbas av malnutrition. Som en konsekvens är det därför troligt att malnutrition som fenomen och problem kommer att öka hos äldre. Malnutrition diagnostiseras inte ofta och uppmärksammas inte tillräckligt inom vården, vilket kan ge negativa effekter hos de äldre.Syfte: Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att belysa orsaker till malnutrition och konsekvenser av malnutrition hos äldre från sextiofem år.Metod: Studien är en litteraturöversikt baserad på sexton vetenskapliga artiklar med kvantitativ design.Resultat: Samtliga artiklar berör vad som orsakar malnutrition samt vilka konsekvenser det kan få för äldre. Resultatet i denna studie redovisas i två delar; orsaker till malnutrition (genus, ålder, medicinering och demens) och konsekvenser av malnutrition (försämrad livskvalité, depression (psykisk ohälsa), högre mortalitetsrisk, högre infektionsrisk samt långa sjukhusvistelser).Slutsats: Studien visar att orsaker och konsekvenser av malnutrition hos äldre inte har uppmärksammats tillräckligt då prevalensen av malnutrition är hög och stiger.Klinisk betydelse: Trots att det forskas mycket om malnutrition hos äldre stiger antalet som drabbas av malnutrition.

Conflicts are a natural part of people's daily lives and we all know that they cannot be avoided. Equally common are conflicts in school as an institution, not at least in the interaction between teachers and students. The purpose of this study is to investigate how teachers think and reflect on the various classroom conflicts that arise with students, and which preventive measures the teachers use. This study intends to answer the following questions;What is it that characterizes conflicts between teachers and students in middle school?    How do teachers think that these conflicts can be prevented and what solutions can be applied?I have used in this study a qualitative research method as a tool.

Bakgrund: En kombination av olika riskfaktorer och ett yttre tryck bidrar till att patienter drabbas av trycksår. Sjuksköterskor i samarbete med undersköterskor ansvarar för att förhindra risken för trycksår hos patienter. Tidigare studie påvisar att femton procent av inneliggande patienter på sjukhus drabbas av trycksår. Syfte: Syftet med studien är att belysa varför patienter får trycksår trots att sjuksköterskan i samarbete med undersköterskan bör ha kunskaper för att förebygga vårdrelaterade trycksår. Metod: Författarna använder sig av metoden allmän litteraturöversikt.

The aim of this study is to describe and analyze how Bolaget, a paper published by the Swedish alcohol monopoly retailer Systembolaget, constructs issues of alcohol in 18 preventive articles published between 2009 and 2012. More specifically the essay focuses on the consequences of alcohol, as well as its consumers and functions. Systembolaget is a distributor of alcohol and at the same time has an assignment by the state to reduce alcohol-related harm. This double role makes the alcohol prevention of Systembolaget, and their perspective on consequences, consumers and functions of alcohol, an interesting object of study. The theoretical and methodological basis is Fairclough?s critical discourse analysis.

Att känna sig ledsen, olycklig och nedstämd ibland är helt naturligt. För att nedstämdheten ska kallas depression ur medicinsk synvinkel krävs att man dagligen under minst två veckor känner sig nedstämd och upplever minskad glädje och intresse för vanliga aktiviteter. I dag behandlas depression med kognitiv terapi eller medicinering. Några exempel på läkemedelsgrupper är Monoaminoxidashämmare (MAO-hämmare), Tricykliska antidepressiva (TCA) och Selektiva Serotoninåterupptagshämmare (SSRI). SSRI-läkemedlen verkar genom att hämma återupptaget av serotonin i CNS-neuronen.

The trotting in Sweden has a good reputation in an international view, both in the perspective of success and how the sport is managed with focus on security, animal protection and animal welfare. A large number of equipment details are fitted on the horses during training and competition. The Swedish law of prevention of cruelty to animals regulate training and competition with racehorses, and propose to protect horses from unnecessary suffering. The equipment permitted in races is regulated in Tävlingsreglementet (The Regulation of Competititon) and in the regulations of equipment, that the Nordic Regulation Committee and Nordic Animal Welfare Committee have worked out. Due to training and competition the equipment must even meet the Swedish law of prevention of cruelty to animals. However, the behaviour or the senses of the horses is often affected by the equipment due to the way the equipment corrects, modifies, restrains or reduces the behaviour of the horse, which may cause the horse stress or discomfort.

Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att beskriva hur sjuksköterskor arbetar med preventiva åtgärder vid trycksårs uppkomst samt vilka omvårdnadsåtgärder som ges till patienter som utvecklat trycksår. Vetenskapliga artiklar söktes i databaserna Medline via Pubmed och Cinahl med sökorden nursing, pressure ulcer, prevention, treatment, therapy, intervention. Endast artiklar från år 2003- mars 2008 användes i studien. Både kvantitativa och kvalitativa artiklar användes, dessa artiklar granskades utifrån två modifierade granskningsprotokoll. Resultatet påvisade variationer av dessa preventiva insatser som sjuksköterskor använde sig av.
