Due to stress, the workplace is a setting where actions of health promotion are of great importance in the perspective of public health. Stress is caused by heavy workload, low control of organizing their tasks and lack of support from colleagues and supervisors. This can lead to cardiovascular disease, depression and insomnia.

The study is based on a qualitative approach with deductive content analysis and the data has therefore been collected through interviewing six people based on a semi-structured interview guide.The result has shown that the senior immigration offices are pleased with their work environment and that their workload is constantly changing.

Aim and questions: The purpose of this paper is to clarify the responsibilities employers have for rehabilitation and to explore how it conforms to an employers' actual condi-tions. Furthermore, the intention is to increase knowledge of how employers interact with other partners in the rehabilitation process and what affects sick people to return to work. The following three questions form the basis of this paper: What are employers? responsibilities for rehabilitation under the law and how is it consistent with an employer's actual conditions? What is the role of employers in the rehabilitation co- operation with other actors? What factors influence sick people to return to work?Method: The paper has used a true scientific and a legal sociological method to examine how the regulated employer responsibility for rehabilitation relates to what is practical in re-ality. To achieve the purpose, four empirical interviews were conducted with Örebro Municipality, Insurance, occupational health Previa and a doctor, which all of them have an important role in the rehabilitation process.

Det har forskats en hel del om föräldrars delaktighet i omvårdnaden av sitt sjuka barn, men forskningen rörande föräldrarnas förväntningar på sjuksköterskan är inte lika omfattande. Syftet har varit att belysa föräldrars förväntningar på sjuksköterskan vid vård av inlagda barn 0-18 år. Studien har genomförts som en litteraturstudie där resultatet bygger på åtta (8) vårldsomfattande vetenskapliga forskningsrapporter. Som teoretisk referensram har Calgary modellen för familjecentrerad omvårdnad använts. I resultatet framträdde följande kategorier som var betydelsefulla förväntningar från föräldrarna: information, tillgänglighet, kontinuitet, stöd - förtroende samt samarbete - delaktighet.

Bakgrund Studier har visat att många äldre tar smärtstillande läkemedel regelbundet pga. långvarig smärta. Då den äldre befolkningen kommer att öka så kommer detta problem troligtvis bli stort i framtiden. Det har visats genom tidigare studier att smärta hos äldre har försummats. Det är därför viktigt att lyfta fram detta problem.

Ett adekvat kostintag är nödvändigt för uppbyggnad och underhåll av kroppens celler och det är därför en förutsättning för att en person skall kunna hålla sig frisk. Vid trauman och operativa ingrepp krävs ett allmänt ökat näringsintag under rehabiliteringen. Detta för en minskad risk för komplikationer och för ett snabbare tillfrisknande. Patientinformation är ett viktigt verktyg vid utbildning om nutritionens betydelse för läkningsprocessen. Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur vuxna patienter, som genomgått ett ortopediskt ingrepp informeras av sjuksköterskan om nutritionens betydelse för läkningsprocessen.

Introduction: More and more children and young people get the diagnosis celiac disease established. Celiac is a life-long disease, which means that the child during the rest of its life has to be on a strictly gluten-free diet. There are few studies so far, which have examined how children having a life-long disease with food treatment and increasing prevalence really experience their health related quality of life (HRQoL).Purpose: The purpose of the study was to examine how children (8 ? 18 years old) suffering from celiac valued their HRQoL and to illustrate as well whether the age of the child and its extent of disease when it was taken ill affected the child?s evaluation of HRQoL later in life. The purpose was also to compare whether the children?s parents valued the HRQoL of their children to the same extent as the children did.Method: 160 children, 54 boys and 102 girls were included in the study.

Syftet med denna studie är att kartlägga hur Skånes 33 kommuner har implementerat de nationella målområdena för folkhälsa. Studien har genomförts som en enkätundersökning samt intervjuer med folkhälsosamordnare i ett urval av dessa kommuner. Resultaten i studien visar att prioriteringen av målområdena primärt ligger på strukturella faktorer. Dock är målområde 11 (Minskat bruk av tobak och alkohol, ett samhälle fritt från narkotika och dopning samt minskade skadeverkningar av överdrivet spelande) det målområde som är högst prioriterat i Skåne. Kartläggningen visar att 18 av Skånes kommuner har en anställd folkhälsosamordnare. Resultatet visar att 17 av Skånes kommuner har en verksamhetsplan/folkhälsoplan, varav 14 av dessa kommuner har en anställd folkhälsosamordnare. Större delen av dessa har även implementerat de nationella målområdena för folkhälsa i kommunens folkhälsoplan.
