Omvårdnaden av lidande och döende patienter och att stötta närstående är en av de svåraste uppgifter sjuksköterskan möter i sitt arbete. Det ter sig viktigt att som sjuksköterska inneha vetenskaplig kunskap och kännedom om hur cancerpatienter bör bli bemötta i ett palliativt skede samt hur på bästa möjliga sätt en relation kan byggas upp. Syftet med föreliggande litteraturstudie var att undersöka sjuksköterskors bemötande gentemot cancerpatienter i ett palliativt skede och relationen dem emellan, både ur sjuksköterskors- och patienters synsätt. Metod: Efter vetenskaplig granskning av artiklar valdes åtta ut för analys och utgjorde underlag till litteraturstudien. Resultat: Ur sjuksköterskornas perspektiv kunde följande kategorier utläsas: sjuksköterskors förståelse för hela patientens livssituation, behov och värderingar/kommunikation och samarbete/skapa livskvalitet och välbefinnande för patienter/sjuksköterskors attityd till palliativ vård och döende patienter.

The aim of this study was to investigate how staff members at residential homes experience encountering sexuality among the youths. The study was conducted by using qualitative interviews with four staff members at four different residential homes. The interviews have been analyzed by using content analysis and have been looked at through a perspective of experience, as described by Richard Stevens, and by applying developmental psychology. The results show that, although sexuality is experienced as being distinctly present and being a topic of major concern, the staff members have given sex-education as a means by which to raise their own competence little or no thought. One way to interpret this is that sexuality and sex-education haven?t been given a sufficient space in the work with the youths.

Inspired by Kitaro Nishida?s concept of pure experience this thesis analyses Bergson?s concept of experience with the intention of showing how experience is related to duration and how this in turn destabilizes certain tendencies towards subjectivism that can be found in Bergson?s work. This is accomplished through a reading of Matter and memory, Creative Evolution and Introduction to metaphysics that tries to desintegrate both subject and object in favor of duration. The thesis arrives at describing the combination of duration and non-subjective and supra-individual experience as a polyrhythmic movement..

The aim of this study was to understand how care staff in residential care perceive and work with elderly mental health and how these perceptions and work is related to aging. We have gathered our empirical material through eight qualitative interviews and vignettes with care staff in residential care. The study was conducted in a municipality with 10 000 to 20 000 inhabitants in southern Sweden. The material was analyzed with use of ageism as a theoretical frame of reference. The results showed that the care staff had different perceptions of mental illness in general and regarding the elderly.

There are more and more elderly people and different diseases will affect them. How will the public care be able to face this need of care for the elderly? There are a lot that shows that there will be an increasing demand on the achievements of the relatives. How can this development be answered to? Shall the achievements be concentrated on giving support to the relatives, or will there be a concentration on nursing staff? The purpose of the study was to enlighten who elderly people will be nursed by if a disease affects them.

The Swedish old-age care will in the near future face an extensive need to recruit enrolled nurses by virtues of the demographical development. The generation born in the 1940s will soon retire, and at the same time the rest of the population is growing older. One thing that becomes more important in how to draw more people to the old-age care, is to understand how the ones who allready work there experience their own worksituation.The purpose of this study was to find out how enrolled nurses from two different generations experienced their own occupational role and make similarities and differences between the two generations experiences visible. The topics of interest in our study are the respondents own thoughts about their education, their worksituation today, what they think of the future and how they believe others regard their work. To fulfill the purpose of our study we used qualitative interviews.

The study was done within KalmarCounty and its employees within the field elderly care. The problem that we brought upwas that the elderly part of the population is growing quite rapidly whilst the gap betweensupply and demand on nurses and physiotherapists is increasing. This creates a problem ofits own in regards to how we are going to care for the elderly when there?s not enoughstaff for it.

Bakgrund: Varje år får cirka 54 000 svenskar diagnosen cancer. När en person drabbas av cancer och får en palliativ diagnos inverkar det stort på de närståendes situation. Ångest och oro är många gånger större hos de närstående än hos den sjuke själv. Det är tungt att som närstående stå vid sidan om och se sin kära ha plågsamma symtom. I sjukvården hamnar närstående ofta i bakgrunden och allt fokus läggs på den sjuke.

The purpose of this study is to examine some after-school teachers? perceptions about the outdoor stay at the after-school care centre in the schoolyard and in the leisure- environment.Five semi-structured interviews were conducted with the after-school teachers at five after-school care centres in the Stockholm area.In the theoretical part presents the leisure- governance and ongoing research on outdoor learning, research on the school playground and kindergarten local environment affects children in their development and learning, and after-school teachers? professional identity.The theoretical foundation is based on the phenomenographic approach.The questions are:? What is outdoor education according to the after-school teachers?? According to after-school teachers, what educational opportunities are provided by the schoolyard and the local environment?? How do the after-school teachers use the schoolyard and local environment?The result shows that outdoor education can be a knowledge invigorating complement to the indoor teaching and a way for the after-school centre to supplement the compulsory schoolday. The play outdoors can help to increase children's social development, creativity and imagination. The after-school teachers used the schoolyard and local environment for various purposes which may be due to different circumstances, knowledge and experience to carry out educational activities outdoors. But it may also depend on whether the after-school teacher focuses on the regular school day or in the afternoon at the after-school care centre..

The inquiry was answered by 45 districtnurses about background, present situation, preventive care, secondary prevention, tertiary prevention, health promotion and documentation. Results of this study shows that the districtnurses worked mostly with tertiary prevention.

Bakgrund: Det är viktigt att det finns kunskap om palliativ vård inom alla verksamheter då patienter i palliativ vård finns överallt inom vården. Finns inte kunskapen kan patientens behov lätt missas. Författarna till den här studien ville få en förståelse för vilka omvårdnadsbehov sjuksköterskor upplever att patienten har i det palliativa skedet.Syfte: Syftet var att undersöka vilka omvårdnadsbehov sjuksköterskor upplever att patienten har i det palliativa skedet och hur dessa behov kan tillgodoses.Metod: En kvalitativ intervjustudie genomfördes på ett sjukhus. Sju sjuksköterskor intervjuades och intervjumaterialet analyserades med manifest innehållsanalys.Resultat: Resultatet visade att sjuksköterskorna upplevde att patienten i palliativ vård har två övergripande omvårdnadsbehov. Dessa är psykosociala behov och omvårdnadsbehov.

Den palliativa vårdens mål är att uppnå en god och fridfull död. En god död har dock visat sig vara en individuell och varierande upplevelse varför patienten själv måste få möjlighet att uttala sig om sin förestående död. Forskning har framhållit att det finns olika uppfattningar om vad en god död innebär, utifrån patientens, närståendes och vårdpersonalens perspektiv. Syftet med litteraturstudien var därför att belysa kunskap om uppfattningar om en god död, för att kunna förbättra omvårdnaden i en palliativ kontext. Föreliggande litteraturstudie baseras på 15 vetenskapliga artiklar.
