The aim of this study is to investigate the public libraries use of their websites in their marketing. Our study is based on the websites of 60 public libraries. The libraries are chosen because of their geographical location in three different provinces? Skåne in the south, Östergötland in the middle and Norrbotten in the north. These three choices enable us to cover densely as well as thinly populated areas, the agricultural district, the woodland and cities of various sizes.

Bakgrund: HIV/AIDS är idag en sjukdom som varit känd för oss i snart tre decennier. Synen på människor som har HIV har förvisso ändrats. Trots förändringar upplever personer med HIV fortfarande negativa attityder, diskriminering och socialt utanförskap både ute i samhället och inom sjukvården. Vid en närmare granskning av litteraturen visar det sig att attityder och rädslor finns kvar mot personer med HIV även hos sjukvårdspersonal. Syfte: Att undersöka sjuksköterskestudenters attityder till personer med HIV.

Death is the only experience we know we will come across in our lives. Yet it is so difficult to speak about death and the sorrow before and after death occurs. The aim of this literature study was to find out how as a general nurse one can help relatives to handle their situation in mourning.

After scrutiny and critical analysis of ten scientific papers, some common denominators have remained.

Vaccination as a part of the preventative public health project has for many years been one of the important tasks of the children's health care. The vaccination program has been adjusted to current research and the health situation in the country. Having their children vaccinated is not something obvious for all parents, though.

Syftet med litteraturstudien var att undersöka hur buller påverkar sjukhusmiljön med hänseende på vårdpersonal och patienter. Studiens avsikt omfattar även en undersökning av vårdpersonalens och patienters eventuella olika uppfattningar angående buller. Effekterna av buller och dess omfattning inom vårdavdelningsmiljön har också undersökts. Resultatet av studien visar på att bullermiljön på sjukhus överskrider de riktlinjer för buller som WHO fastslagit. Vidare visar studien på indikationer på att brittiska sjuksköterskors kunskap angående fenomenet buller är bristfällig.

Antalet personer med kronisk njursvikt ökar i Sverige, orsakat av att diabetesnefropati ökar, som en följd av att allt fler får diabetes mellitus typ 2. Peritonealdialys är en behandling för personer med kronisk njursvikt och kan skötas i hemmet. Syftet med studien är att beskriva hur peritonealdialys inverkar på dagligt liv bland personer med kronisk njursvikt. Studien genomfördes som en allmän litteraturstudie och vetenskapliga artiklar har sökts via elektroniska databaser och manuella sökningar. Femton artiklar granskades och analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys.

Bakgrund: Sedan 1990-talet har alkoholkonsumtionen i Sverige ökat och under de senaste tio åren har även alkoholskador och alkoholrelaterad sjukhusvård tilltagit. Att identifiera och ta upp patienters alkoholproblematik ingår i sjuksköterskans arbetsuppgifter men rollen i samtal om alkohol är otydlig och många sjuksköterskor anser sig sakna tillräckligt med kunskap och utbildning för detta.Syfte: Syftet var att belysa de faktorer som påverkar sjuksköterskans samtal med patienter om alkohol.Metod: En litteraturöversikt baserad på fem kvalitativa och sex kvantitativa vetenskapliga artiklar utfördes. Artiklarna söktes i databaserna Cinahl Plus with Fulltext, Google Scholar, Medline, Nursing & Allied Health Source. Deras resultat granskades och analyserades efter likheter och olikheter, vilket resulterade i en sammanställning med nya teman.Resultat: Analysen resulterade i fem teman med faktorer som påverkar samtal om alkohol. Kunskap och utbildning visar att dessa har en positiv effekt på att samtal kring alkohol förs och att majoriteten av alla sjuksköterskor efterfrågar mer kunskap och utbildning.

Anonymous job applications as a method to further diversity on the labour market is widely discussed. The method aims to promote an equal selection procedure, where the employer can only judge on merits and experience.

We have chosen to perform a small qualitative case study, of a limited attempt of this method in the government administration of Kortedala, a district in Gothenburg.Our intrests are to see whether we can, while studying a specific implementation procedure, show that any implementation problems have occurred. Furthermore explaining it by applying our implementation theory, that consists of Lennart Lundquists three criterias for explaining implementation problems experienced from the appliers' standpoint.
