It is a common-held belief that the social worker for the most part uses oneself as a ?tool? in working with clients. This study seeks to examine that ?tool? in the context of treatment of teenage boys with psychosocial problems such as criminal behavior, drug-abuse and/or abusive home environment. The main purpose is to identify the conceptions of masculinity, and more specific hegemonic and subordinated masculinity, of the professionals working with the boys.

This thesis examines what and in which language young people in Sweden with other linguistic backgrounds than Swedish read, as well as if they have access to the literature that they demand, how they use the library and what kind of role the library plays to them. The chosen method was quantitative and it consisted of a questionnaire as this method is useful in quantifying phenomena, which is the purpose of this thesis. The investigation shows that the studied population is bilingual. I hope that the thesis points out the range of the problems and that these issues need to be solved within the society and not the within the family. We need to make use of the resources of the young immigrants, as their cultural competence, in some cases even bi-cultural competence, can be useful for the Swedish society.

The purpose of this essay is to analyse the descriptions of young girls' experiences of internet contacts, which have led up to sexual abuse. The aim is to give additional understanding and knowledge concerning grooming.       Grooming means that somebody gets in contact with someone else with the intention of committing sexual violations at a later stage. In most cases this concerns adults who contact children. We have chosen to confine ourselves to focusing on the grooming on internet that has happened to girls. By means of thematic analyses of texts from the books Jag kände mig speciell, grooming på internet, 2012 and Alexandramannen, vår tids största nätsexhärva, 2009, we have found certain themes and linked them up with previous research-work and also theory of social psychology.

För att kunna främja god folkhälsa och omvårdnad samt utjämna ojämlik hälsa ställer den ökade migrationen med en ökad andel utrikesfödda högre krav på distriktssköterskors och sjuksköterskors kommunikation i vårdmötet.Syfte: Att undersöka vilka strategier distriktssköterskan/sjuksköterskan inom primärvård använde för att överbrygga språkbarriärer samt att undersöka om det fanns något samband mellan dessa strategier och hur sjuksköterskan uppfattade kvaliteten i omvårdnaden.Metod: Jämförande och deskriptiv tvärsnittsstudie med kvantitativ ansats. Enkäter sändes ut till sjuksköterskor på vårdcentraler i kommuner med hög andel utrikesfödda. Resultat: De strategier vilka framförallt användes var kroppsspråk samt professionell tolk.  Sjuksköterskorna uppfattade att kvaliteten i omvårdnaden vid språkbarriärer var relativt hög. Medelstarka samband framkom dels mellan uppfattad patientdelaktighet och användande av professionell tolk och dels mellan omvårdnadskvalitet och användande av material för omvårdnadsåtgärder. Signifikanta skillnader gällande omvårdnadskvalitet samt hur sjuksköterskorna uppfattade kvaliteten i kommunikationen framkom. Slutsats: Förutom att sjuksköterskor på ett adekvat sätt använder samt utvecklar olika strategier för att överbrygga språkbarriärer, kan även ett varmt och professionellt bemötande ha betydelse i kommunikationen för att uppnå god omvårdnad samt folkhälsa..

Inledning: Bröstmjölk är den bästa näringskällan för spädbarn. Alla friska mödrar rekommenderas att exklusivt amma sina barn upp till sex månaders ålder samt därefter fortsätta amma och ge annat födotillägg upp till två års ålder eller längre. Flertalet faktorer kan dock påverka beslutet om att välja att amma eller inte.Syfte: Syftet med denna studie var att undersökta iranska invandrarkvinnors uppfattningar och bruk angående amning och bröstmjölksersättning.Metod: En kvalitativ studie med strategiskt urval genomfördes där tio iranska invandrarkvinnor intervjuades. Intervjuerna bestod av tolv frågor och spelades in och sedan transkriberades. Innehållsanalys användes.Resultat: Resultaten delades in i fem kategorier: ?Hälso- sjukvårdskontakt i Sverige och i Iran?, ?Typ av föda som givits barnet?, ?Information och råd angående amning och bröstmjölksersättning?, ?Faktorer som påverkar valet att amma? samt ?Slutgiltig uppfattning angående valet att amma?.

This essay focuses on the elderly and their religious beliefs and is based on the origin idea of a secular Sweden, but where immigration has been the source of additional various religious affiliations. This study intends to nuance the problems that previous researchers focused on when doing research on immigration, by interviewing staff members of nursing homes in immigrant dense areas, especially Malmoe, Gothenburg and Stockholm.The aim is to investigate how the allocation of residents, with different religious than Protestant Christians, is distributed at nursing homes and to see if there is a need for adjustments. Additionally, the thesis about immigrants and immigrants' identity and attitudes to Swedish society is discussed with John Berry´s acculturation theories and strategies.The results show that the majority of the nursing homes have residents with different religious affiliations and that some practical adjustments have been done, but it also shows that nursing homes have changed to the extent that they have adapted to a secular society. Ignorance and prejudice contribute to the problem in terms of seeing all residents as individuals and at the same time ensuring adaption according to all their needs, which is exemplified in the solutions made by using multi-cultural staff members and specialized departments. The relationship between nursing homes and the Swedish church continues but the role of the church service has changed.

I denna studie undersöks följderna av en revisionsrapport kring det kommunala uppföljningsansvaret i Stockholms stad. I rapporten, som är från 2009, ger stadens revisorer rekommendationer för hur arbetet med att följa upp ungdomar 16-19 år kan effektiviseras. Revisorerna anser bland annat att kommunstyrelsen bör utarbeta ett förslag till kommunfullmäktige om hur innebörden av det kommunala uppföljningsansvaret kan förtydligas. Revisorerna påpekar vidare att det finns behov av att utveckla samverkansformer mellan olika aktörer för att ungdomarna ska kunna erbjudas mer än enbart utbildning. Detta är vad ungdomarna i dagsläget erbjuds, genom Gymnasieslussen, men ingen söker aktivt upp de individer som tackar nej till utbildning eller inte nås.Studiens resultat visar att kommunstyrelsen inte följt revisorernas rekommendation om att ge fullmäktige underlag för ett förtydligande.
