Bakgrund: elevers hälsa och delaktighet har stor betydelse för deras skolprestationer, trivsel och möjlighet att fungera i skolmiljön. Goda skolprestationer är en skyddsfaktor för unga eftersom det minskar sannolikheten för sviktande hälsa, både psykisk och fysisk. Alla elever, inom grund- och gymnasieskola, ska ha tillgång till en samlad elevhälsa där skolsköterskan ingår. Delar av skolsköterskans arbete är lagstadgat, exempelvis de hälsosamtal som ska erbjudas alla elever. Syfte: Syfte med denna studie var att få ökad kunskap om vad som beskrivs som framgångsfaktorer för att elever ska uppleva delaktighet i sitt hälsosamtal eller i andra samtal/möten med sin skolsköterska.Metod: Systematisk litteraturstudie där data består av fem artiklar. Analysen gjordes med hjälp av kvalitativ innehållsanalys med induktiv ansats. Resultat: Sex underkategorier trädde fram som sedan byggde upp tre kategorier.

Many reports in recent years are suggesting that young people should be involved in the development of the digital society. The Swedish government's Digidel campaign launched in 2011 involved adolescents to train elderly people. This thesis builds on the campaign with its major aim being to investigate how young people think about digital society and their own knowledge and skills to promote digital inclusion.The research questions were set to examine how adolescents look upon the competencies needed in today's digital society, what specific skills and capital the adolescents suggest that they have which can promote digital inclusion and how projects in this direction are perceived by the participants. The theoretical framework is based on theories about social capital. It encompasses Bourdieu's theories about symbolic capital and people's habitus, Putnam's theories about social capital and the power of the organization and Gidden's vision about how people are organizing themselves in the modern world.

Övervikt och fetma hos barn har ökat kraftigt sedan 1980-talet i Sverige. Det finns flera hälsorisker för barn med övervikt eller fetma och problemen kan bli större om övervikten permanentas kvar till vuxen ålder. Diabetes typ-2, lågt självförtroende och hjärt- och kärlsjukdomar är ett fåtal exempel på besvär som kan uppstå i samband med övervikt och fetma. Fetma och fetmarelaterade sjukdomar kostar samhället tre miljarder kronor per år i Sverige för vård och behandling. Därefter tillkommer kostnader för bland annat läkemedel, sjukskrivning och förtidspensionering.

This essay is a study that contributes to the larger research question ?Why do farms shut down?? The subject was chosen because it is a relevant problem that needs to be studied more. This study's boundary is to investigate the reasons for decisions leading to the farms at the Torstuna community, Fjärdhundra, changes in any activity scale or the outlook of the entire farm. When a decision is made, there are usually several reasons behind it and it is these reasons which this essay is aiming to study. The question "What are the reasons for the elderly to live on the farm even though the farm is not cultivated by them?" is also covered in the study.

The Swedish population is getting older and more elderly will continue to be in need ofsupport from the community to meet their everyday lives. As the population gets olderdementia also increases the spread in the country. Because of this more people withdementia will be in need of help in their everyday lives. This will increase the demandson elderly care in the municipalities where they have to offer good care. As moreindividuals suffering from dementia will be in need of help in their daily lives aid officers'encounters with people suffering from dementia and their relatives or any representativesbecome more common.The study had as objective to study aid officer's reasoning on the treatment of dementedindividuals in need of help.

Bakgrund: Den medicinska och ekonomiska kostnaden för hjärt- kärlsjukdomar är idagmycket omfattande. Största delen av dessa sjukdomar liksom andra kroniska, ickesmittsamma sjukdomar som cancer, lungsjukdom och diabetes, hör ihop med påverkbara,livsstilsrelaterade riskfaktorer. Genom att göra hälsosamma val när det gäller mat, rökning,alkohol och motion kan livsstilssjukdomar förhindras eller fördröjas. Livsstilsfrågor är enav distriktssköterskans huvuduppgifter och efter vårdvalet är det få distriktssköterskor somverkligen får arbeta med detta. Syfte: Syftet med denna studie är att beskriva hurdistriktssköterskan arbetar med sjukdomsförebyggande metoder inom primärvården.Metod: Studien är baserad på en kvalitativ metod med en induktiv ansats.

Arbetet utgår från sju grundläggande principer, där delaktighet är en av dem. Arbetet kan utföras på många olika arenor och av olika aktörer. En aktör är anhörigkonsulenter som arbetar med tillexempel riskgruppen anhöriga till personer med alkohol/narkotikaberoende- eller missbruksproblematik.Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur anhörigkonsulenten upplever hälsofrämjande arbete.

One of our big public health problems in Sweden is that human beings are too inactive in outdoor settings. That is why stress related diseases increase and influence humans both mentally and physical. The physical activity is halved among many children when they start school and the older they become the less they enjoy school. It is also an increasing problem that children and youth in today's society have lack of worthwhile experiences in the nature. The aim of this study was therefore to examine how the experience of outdoor environment had importance for health and learning on upper secondary school pupils.
