The level of care, between outpatient and inpatient, has been developed to meet children/adolescents and their families in a different way than in the traditional outpatient and inpatient treatment. The contact offered can be intense with frequent contact and also with more time set aside for every occasion. The nurse, who is one of the categories of personnel involved in the multidisciplinary team works largely in other contexts than in the therapy room at the clinic or on the ward.

The purpose of this paper is to create an understanding of the negotiation process behind the decision of who will stay at home with a sick child and to develop the knowledge of the mechanisms considered to affect the negotiation process, in particular, the mechanisms likely to contribute to an uneven use of care leave. In the study six interviews were conducted with three sets of parents. These interviews were then analysed with Janet Finch?s (1989) definition of negotiation of family responsibilities. The study finds that the negotiation on care leave is a result of the negotiation of the shared view of reality.

Thisreport is proposed to increase the understanding of what creates a good psychosocialwork environment and its potential effect on safety at sea. In order to find out thesuccess factors for a good work environment group interviews were conducted in socalledunstructured focus groups. During these conversations, the participants discussedfreely by the question "what is a good psychosocial work environment for you?? Thesuccess factors were thereafter applied on selected accident reports, to investigate theextent to which they were represented and taken into account.The results of the study show three categories of factors: colleagues, communicationand competence, where colleagues are the main contribution to a good psychosocialwork environment.

Många funktionsnedsättningar medför också kommunikationsnedsättningar vilket bidrar till svårigheter i vårdsammanhang. Då kommunikationen inte fungerar mellan patient och sjukvårdspersonal är det svårt att skapa en vårdrelation.Syfte: Syftet med uppsatsen är att beskriva erfarenheter av kommunikationen mellan sjukvårdspersonal och patienter med komplexa kommunikationsbehov [CCN].Metod: Studien är en litteraturöversikt där vetenskapliga artiklar har granskats. Till resultatet har nio artiklar analyserats och teman har identifierats.Resultat: Fyra teman som är kopplade till svårigheter med att kommunicera med människor med CCN lyfts fram i resultatet. Dessa teman är; kunskapsbrist, tid, anhörigvårdare och vårdrelation.Diskussion: Resultatet diskuteras utifrån syftet med stöd i ytterligare studier.

Denna uppsats behandlar ämnet palliativ vård ur sjuksköterskors perspektiv. Begreppet palliativ vård innebär att fokus läggs på lindrande åtgärder då det inte längre är möjligt att bota patienten. För att skapa en bra vårdrelation, vilket är grunden i fungerande vård, krävs en bra kommunikation. Att kommunicera med en döende patient kan vara svårt för sjuksköterskor då de inte vet vad de skall säga eller hur de skall agera. Känslor hos både sjuksköterskor och patienter kan utgöra hinder i kommunikationen, vilket riskerar att vårdrelationen påverkas negativt.

Background:Chronic heart failure (CHF) is a complex clinical condition. The higher survival rate after heart attack and other heart diseases, plus aging population, has led to more CHF patients. Symptoms can have negative impact on exercise capacity, ability to perform activities of daily living and quality of life. Heart failure clinics have been established to help better quality of life. Helping to stabilize and maintain patients´ health can reduce the need of hospital admission.

Nursing care of persons having dementia diseases affecting the frontal lobes, sets special demands on the staff, but the knowledge about how to best tailor nursing care is sparse. The aim of the study was to illuminate possibilities and difficulties in nursing care of persons having dementia diseases with frontal lobe dysfunction and was carried out as a descriptive, qualitative study, based on a review of medical records and interviews with nursing staff (n=10) that was analysed with qualitative content analysis. The difficulties were related to the patients lack of inhibition and judgement, anxiety, agitation, reduced ability to care for physical needs, egocentrism, imbalance between rest and activity, and depressed mood. The possibilities were seen in relation to the nursing staffs professional encounter, characterised by being distinct and consequent, being a step ahead, being flexible and catch the moment, being calm and create a positive atmosphere, being close and trusting and being and doing together. To receive continuous feedback and support was a prerequisite for the staffs? engagement.
