Diabetes är en av våra stora folksjukdomar. Av Sveriges befolkning är 3-4 procent diabetiker. Av de patienter som får diabetes är ca 90 procente typ 2 diabetiker. I de skandinaviska länderna är 10-15 procent av de som får diabetes över 65 år. En av de viktigaste sakerna för att må bra i sin sjukdom är att sköta sin egenvård som att hantera sin sjukdom med kost, motion och medicinering.

Hypertension is one of the most common reasons for visiting primary care. It is one of the most important modifiable risk factors for cardiovascular disease, suffering and death. Lifestyle change, such as increased physical activity is the foundation of treatment of hypertension. Lifestyle change starts as a process in which patients can be helped by a nurse through conscious communication, educate and support increased physical exercise.AimThe aim of this study was to investigate the district nurse´s experiences of interacting with patients with hypertension about physical activity.MethodIndividual qualitative study.

Relationen mellan sjusköterska och patient finns alltid med i omvårdnadsarbetet. I bakgrunden definieras begreppet relation och ett historiskt perspektiv på vårdrelationen ges, här beskrivs även de förutsättningar som krävs för en vårdrelation och Travelbees och Martinsens syn på vårdrelationen. Syftet med litteraturstudien var att utifrån sjuksköterskans respektive patientens upplevelser beskriva vad som utmärker en god vårdrelation. Tretton kvalitativa artiklar analyserades utifrån en induktiv ansats. Det som framkom i resultatet utmärka en god vårdrelation var personliga egenskaper, kompetens, professionellt förhållningssätt och ömsesidighet.

The 22q11.2 deletion syndrome is a common genetic disorder that affects for example the heart, palate, immune system and hearing and therefore affects a child?s development. The purpose of this study was to investigate the proportion of children (0-18 years) with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome who have a hearing loss. A retrospective study of 103 children diagnosed with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome was conducted by medical records. Of the 103 children, 51 were boys and 52 were girls.

SammanfattningSyfteSyftet med studien var att analysera och jämföra de åtta system/modeller som finns bland Sveriges landsting, som beskriver arbetet med uppföljningen av FaR® mellan förskrivare och patient. Genom empirin, som grundar sig på ett flertal intervjuer med ansvariga för detta arbete, undersöktes vad som enligt de tillfrågade har lett till framgång respektive motgång i uppföljningsarbetet (mellan förskrivare och patient). Studien syftade även till att undersöka om, och i sådant fall i vilken utsträckning uppföljningsarbetet bygger på de teoribaserade beteendeförändringsmodellerna som FaR® har hämtat inspiration från.FrågeställningarVilka svårigheter och möjligheter har påträffas med arbetet kring uppföljningen mellan förskrivare och patient?Hur är uppföljningsarbetet förankrat i ett teoretiskt perspektiv? (Det vill säga om, och i vilken utsträckning uppföljningsarbetet bygger på beteendeförändringsmodeller?)MetodEn kvalitativ metod har använts där sju intervjuer med de landsting/regioner som innehar system/modeller över uppföljningsarbetet, ligger till grund för det presenterade resultatet. En innehållsanalys har sedan genomförts med de transkriberade intervjutexterna.ResultatResultatet visade att svårigheter infann sig på både individ - (attityder) och organisationsnivå (journalsystem, dokumentation, statistik etc.).

It is statutory that teachers shall document their student's development of knowledge in different subjects. The teachers employed by Sundbybergs municipality have been commissioned to do the documentation in the web-based electronic system Projekt- och Omdömesdatabasen, P.O.D.B. The purpose of this study was to investigate witch effect the IT-solution P.O.D.B has brought for the teachers in their task of student documentation. By conducting interviews and questionnaire studies I have been looking for answers to if the target achievements have increased by using the IT-solution, and if the teachers are aware of what they may or may not write about their students in the system. The conclusions I have been able to draw through my studies are that the teachers have accepted the commission to use P.O.D.B.

This study aims to research how small companies that operate on the Swedish home electronic-market utilize marketing communications to communicate their message. The focus of this study has been to research these companies use of below-the-line activities in their marketing communications. Interviews have been conducted with representatives from each of the three companies Neonode, Jens of Sweden and Tonium, that compose the selection from the population in this study. The use of below-the-line activities in small companies is mainly motivated by lower cost, which suit small company budgets. Below-the-line activities are also used for branding and the creation of credibility among the consumers when the target audience does not yet know the brand.

This report is the result of a thesis work done at the Department of Engineering Sciences, Uppsala University, and includes 15 ECTS points. The work has been performed at Företag A, a company specializing in electronics whose major product has become a sophisticated tool used by authorities across northern Europe. Företag A has initiated a quality management system according to the criteria set by ISO 9001. Following demands from customers, Company A has now decided to also start working towards a certification according to SS-EN ISO 9001:2008, this work is the foundation for the thesis work. The thesis work has been limited to the production process and the aim has been to enable this process to be certified according to ISO 9001:2008. The work has been performed by analyzing the existing quality management system and the requirements for each process included, whereby the gap between the current and the target state has been mapped. Suggestions have then been made on how this gap can be filled, some of these suggestions have also been carried out during the thesis work. The conclusions drawn are that quality management does not have to be complicated, but quickly becomes so when the complexity of the processes increases.

Många patienter i livets slutskede upplever problem i kommunikationen med vårdpersonalen. Detta leder till en otrygg patient och ger ett onödigt lidande. Sjuksköterskans beredskap att kommunicera med döende patienter är låg. Hon inser betydelsen av samtalet, men distanserar sig på grund av det obehag och den ångest patientens tillstånd väcker hos henne. Patientens möjligheter att uttrycka känslor och tankar kan hindras av sjuksköterskans beteende.

BackgroundWhen women have breast pain this usually is not associated with myocardial infarction, which results in that they get less attention and wrong treatment. The nurse has an important role in informing and educating patients and families during hospitalization, which is usually short. Continuous training, written information and repetition for patient and family throughout the hospital stay are of considerable importance to clarify that the patient understands and to reduce the anxiety of being discharged.AimThe aim is to describe nurses' experiences of caring for older women with myocardial infarction.MethodsA qualitative method was used. The collection of data was done by six interviews with nurses in geriatric care and elderly care. Dataset has been processed based on a content analysis and divided into subcategories and main categories using meaningful units.ResultsNot having knowledge of older women with myocardial infarction was expressed as frustrating and nurses described how they were afraid to ask their colleagues.

KRAV-certified organic dairy herds generally have a lower milk yield than conventional dairy herds. A high-level of milk yield requires a feeding regime with high amounts of concentrates, a factor known to contribute to the development of claw lesions (Bergsten, C. 2003). The aim of this study was to compare claw health between organic and conventional dairy herds in free and tie stall systems. The number of herds from different domestic animal health associations was chosen in proportion to the association´s total portion of Swedish dairy producing herds of each type, respectively.

Denna uppsats handlar om integritetskänslig vårdinformation på fakturor, ett ämne som aktualiserats under mitt arbete på landstingets kansli i Jönköping. När en person får vård i annat län än hemlandstinget så skickas en faktura till hemlandstinget och innan dessa fakturor betalas måste de granskas och attesteras. Hanteringen kring detta upplevdes som tidsödande och ineffektiv, vilket ledde mig in på funderingar kring elektronisk fakturering (e-fakturering). Eftersom fakturorna innehåller integritetskänslig information, som personuppgifter och vissa uppgifter som går att koppla till diagnos och behandling, är det inte bara viktigt att hanteringen blir effektiv utan också att sekretessen kan upprätthållas under hela faktureringsprocessen.I denna undersökning studeras hur hanteringen av integritetskänslig vårdinformation påverkas om fakturahanteringen digitaliseras. Syftet är att göra en jämförelse avseende hantering av sekretess mellan pappersfakturor och digitala e-fakturor.
