Bakgrund. På akutmottagningen är flödet av patienter stort och möten mellan sjuksköterskor och patienter är korta och tidspressade. Det primära för patienter på en akutmottagning är att sjuksköterskan vet vad som ska göras. Omvårdnad kan delas upp i två kategorier: instrumentell omvårdnad och emotionell omvårdnad. För att agera med omvårdnad, måste sjuksköterskan dels ha ett omhändertagande med teknisk kompetens och samtidigt stödja patientens emotionella behov.

Hot och våld är vanligt förekommande inom psykiatrisk slutenvård och utgör ett betydande problem både för patienter som vårdas och för de sjuksköterskor som arbetar inom psykiatrisk verksamhet. Det finns ett ansvar hos sjuksköterskor inom psykiatrisk vård att hantera situationer med patienter där inslag av hot och direkt våld är en realitet utan att tillfoga patienten onödigt lidande. Det krävs kunskap och erfarenhet men också en förståelse inför patientens situation och egna upplevelser. Forskning som rör arbetsmiljön inom psykiatrisk slutenvård visar på att förekomst av hot och våld kan innebära relativa arbetsmiljöproblem för de sjuksköterskor som arbetar där. Detta kan resultera i psykosociala problem och med minskad arbetsglädje som följd.

Introduction: To become acute ill and to be forced to seek treatment involves a difficult but also a vulnerable time for the individual. This acquires a good relationship between the nurse and the patient. At a surgical emergency ward patients with different diagnoses and trauma are treated. What distinguishes this specific type of ward is that care often occurs in a rapid rate and as a patient the environment may be experienced as stressed. The relationship with the nurse at the ward establishes a foundation for how the patient experiences the health care.

The difficulties that social workers perceive their work are unjustified families and heavy workloads.

This essay revolves around the reformation and sectorization of Swedish psychiatry starting in the 1970?s. Psychiatry was to change from being based in closed asylums to being an institution in the middle of society, finding social solutions to mental illness and working through a dynamic network of various care givers, such as welfare officers, nurses and psychiatrists. This new kind of psychiatry was first tested in Nacka, where psychiatric reformers Johan Cullberg and Bengt Berggren were the heads of a six-year long pioneer project of sectorized psychiatric care. My specific purpose is to analyze the new ideas of mental illness and of psychiatry?s role in society which were introduced in this project and how they were expressed in the official reports presenting it.The reformation was preceded by a public debate concerning psychiatry, which had intensified a few years around 1970.
