This study aims to find out what happens with the roles that are seemingly left behind. Are there roles that are harder or easier to exercise? Available roles with us through life and affect our future decisions or we switched completely away from them and create new roles based on the situations we find ourselves in at the moment? The aim is also to see how the relationship looks like between closed roles and new roles in life. To try to find this out, I have used the narrative method. The study is based largely on Goffman's theories of roles, behind and above the front- and back stage.

The framing of the questions we had were to get the experiences, thoughts and wishes of the drug users. The survey was based on thematised qualitative interviews and focused in the personal stories of the interviewees.

Syftet med undersökningen var att belysa kvinnors motivation- och copingstrategier på väg ut ur missbruk. Vidare var syftet att undersöka de salutogena faktorer kvinnorna ansåg hade hjälpt dem behålla sin drogfrihet. Tre intervjuer genomfördes och data analyserades med induktiv tematisk analys. Resultaten visade att motivationen till den inledande behandlingen var knuten till upplevelsen av att ha förlorat allt och möjligheten att få tillbaka sitt liv samt barnen. Motivation till fortsatt drogfrihet var i första hand barnen och en ökad självkänsla samt mening med livet.

The object of this study is the female user of amphetamines and the characteristica which she is often described by. Many of these descriptions regard the female amphetamine user's sexuality which also have come to form the assumption that these women make a living from having sexual relations with men in exchange of drugs.In order to be able to draw any kind of conclusions regarding this, we found it necessary to investigate how the stereotypical female user of amphetamines makes a living and also whether it is possible for a female drug user to decide for her self how to support her habit.The disposition is a qualitative study of literature and the perspectives that we focused on in this study are gender roles, relationships and sexuality, criminality and finally the drug using woman as a victim. The theories used deal with social constructivism, respectability and shame.The main discussion of our study has been how women amphetamine users are moulded to become victims through interaction with other people but also with the society as a whole..

Hepatit C är en relativt ny och vanlig kronisk infektion och ca 170 miljoner människor över hela världen är drabbade. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att undersöka sjuksköterskors attityder gentemot hepatit C smittade patienter.

The study deals with the beliefs that relatives of alcohol and drug dependent persons, and representatives from social services have to the various forms of support available for the relatives. Those who participate in the study points out that there are many people who have a need for support as a relative of an alcohol or drug addicted individual, but that there are circumstances that make them choose not to seek assistance. The study shows that the relatives can experience a reluctance to seek support from social services because of how the organization looks like. The study is qualitative, where the collection of the empiric material has consisted in six semi-structured interviews. Three of them have been with relatives of alcohol-or drug-dependent persons and three have been with social workers in various professions, whose work consists of helping both the relatives of people with alcohol and drug dependence as well as people who are dependent.

Syftet med denna uppsats var att utröna om det finns skillnader mellan könen när det gäller konsekvenser av att vara utsatt för mobbing. Frågeställningarna var: Hur påverkas flickors respektive pojkars hälsa av att vara utsatt för mobbing? Hur kan mobbing forma flickors respektive pojkars syn på framtiden? Finns skillnader mellan mobbade flickors respektive pojkars alkohol- och Drogmissbruk? Finns skillnader mellan mobbade pojkars respektive flickors upplevda trygghet? Mobbing sågs i föreliggande arbete som en form av stress. Frågeställningarna besvarades med hjälp av en korrelationsanalys av enkätsvar givna av högstadieelever. I resultaten framkom inga större skillnader mellan mobbade och icke-mobbade eller mellan könen, vilket delvis förklarades av att mobbade hade socialt stöd på annat håll.
