Syftet med studien var att belysa hur sjuksköterskor som arbetar på en akutmottagning upplever mötet med patienter som är påverkade av alkohol och droger. En kvalitativ intervjustudie med semistrukturerad intervjuguide genomfördes. Materialet transkriberades och analyserades genom kvalitativ innehållsanalys.

Syfte: Att undersöka vårdpersonalens känslor i mötet med våldsutsatta kvinnor inom akutsjukvården. Metod: Kvalitativ studie med halvstrukturerad intervjumetod. Tretton sjuksköterskor och undersköterskor inom akutsjukvården blev intervjuade om mötet med våldsutsatta kvinnor genom tio halvstrukturerade frågor. Resultat: Vårdpersonalen saknade kunskap om våld i nära relationer och kände sig inte beredda att möta en kvinna utsatt för våld trots framtagna riktlinjer och handlingsplaner. Mötet med våldsutsatta kvinnor väckte många starka känslor som ilska och frustration, men också medkänsla och empati.

Antalet äldre människor ökar i samhället och står för en allt mer växande grupp patienter som behöver vård på akutmottagningen. Väntetiden på akutmottagningar runt om i landet blir allt längre. Det är ett välkänt faktum att äldre människor påverkas av att vänta länge på en akutmottagning, då deras allmäntillstånd lätt kan försämras på grund av det biologiska åldrandet och grundsjukdomar som gör dem skörare. Syftet med studien var att beskriva äldre patienters upplevelser av väntan vid besök på akutmottagningen. En litteraturstudie utfördes där resultatet baserades på tio vetenskapliga artiklar. Resultatet av denna litteraturöversikt delades in i fyra teman: att bli sedd, att bekräftas i sitt lidande, att vara delaktig som patient och att se patientens hela situation. Behovet hos den äldre att bli bekräftad, att få information och omvårdnad ökade när väntetiden blev lång på akutmottagningen.
