En stor del av den svenska befolkningen har någon form av hjärt- och kärlsjukdom. Vi avser ge allmänsjuksköterskor en ökad kunskap om vad patienter i denna sjukdomskategori vill ha för information för att kunna möta dessa patienter på ett så bra sätt som möjligt. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie är att belysa vilken information patienter med kranskärlssjukdom och deras anhöriga anser sig behöva före utskrivning och under tiden därefter samt att undersöka den av sjuk- sköterskan prioriterade informationen. Metod: En litteraturstudie där vi använt nio artiklar som granskats enligt Forsberg & Wengströms (2003) bedömningsmall samt enligt Polit et als (2001) granskningsprotokoll med avseende på vetenskaplighet och kvalitet. Artiklarna har sökts i bl a databaserna Pubmed, Cinahl och Blackwell synergy.

Syfte: Syftet med föreliggande studie var att beskriva hur förstagångsföräldrar upplevde den information, de råd och det stöd som de erhållit av BVC-sköterskan. Metod: Studien genomfördes genom personliga intervjuer med sex förstagångsföräldrar med barn under ett års ålder. De första informanterna rekryterades genom ett strategiskt urval i föräldragrupper på utvalda vårdcentraler i en norrländsk kommun och för att få fler informanter användes sedan snowball sampling. Intervjuerna genomfördes med hjälp av en intervjuguide med tre frågeområden om förstagångsföräldrars upplevelse av BVC-sköterskans råd, stöd och information. Intervjuerna analyserades och tolkades genom systematisk textkondensering enligt Malterud (2009).

This thesis deals with subject-based hierarchical search-services on the World Wide Web. The purpose is to investigate how systems of this kind facilitate information retrieval through subject-based information seeking. Its starting point is taken from the study of texts and qualitative analyses of search-services on the World Wide Web. Important aspects and features of the Internet and the World Wide Web are explained as well. Three systems are examined: Mölndals Stadsbiblioteks Länkkatalog, Svesök, and Alta Vista.

The aim of this Master thesis is to examine the institutionalization of Library- and Information Science in Sweden. I focus on the period 1978-1991, and pay special attention to the development of the discipline at the University College of Borås. My main method of investigation has been analysis of printed sources. After a brief description of the discipline and its history internationally, I describe how research and graduate education in Library- and Information Science developed in Sweden during the 20^th century. A major part of the thesis is an analysis of three reports from the chosen time period which are all, with slightly different prerequisites, trying to find a solution to the problem of how to establish Library- and Information Science as an academic discipline in Sweden.

The society strives for sustainable development, in the construction industry it is expressed through sustainable building. Energy and LCC analyzes increases the ability to make conscious decisions in the process. A problem in the construction industry is that energy and LCC analysis is not used to the desired extent, as they are perceived as complicated and time consuming. The report aims to achieve a more sustainable building through increased use of energy and LCC analyzes.The goal is to show how BIM can be used to improve the efficiency of the energy and LCC analyzes.The study was conducted with a literature review and a case study to answer which information that is required in a BIM model to perform energy and LCC analyzes. The study also shows which software can be used in BIM based energy and LCC analyzes and how the analyzes can be carried out efficiently.The result shows that effective analyzes may be performed if the BIM-model contains the relevant information for making analyzes.

The aim of this master?s thesis is to examine how exchange students experience looking for information in their new life situation during a semester in Prague. A further purpose is to investigate what barriers they have faced and how this affected their information behavior. Six qualitative interviews of students constitute the empirical foundation for the study. The interviewees are from six different European countries, were all participating in the Erasmus program, and all had social sciences/humanities/art as their main subject.

During the past decade, consumer health information-centers have been developed at the hospital libraries in Sweden in order to meet the increasing demand from patients and their relatives concerning consumer health information. In 1993, the hospital libraries in Falun, Västervik and Karlstad launched a consumer health information database called PION. The aim of this Master's thesis is two-fold. My first aim is to describe and discuss the principles of user-oriented evaluation. In my attempt to convey the theoretical discussion into the everyday life of librarianship, my second and most important aim is to conduct a user-oriented evaluation of the database PION.

AbstractTitle: To work or not to work, an essay about information and inspiration on www.ams.se.Number of pages: 39Author: Ann HöglundTutor: Peder Hård af SegerstadCourse: Media and communication Studies DPeriod: Fall 2005University: Uppsala University, Department of information science, Division of Media and CommunicationPurpose/Aim: To investigate the frequency of ethos, logos and pathos in the work-guides on www.ams.se, and study how they match the needs of the respondents in the essay-interviews.Method/Material: To investigate the needs and wishes for information I have made three group-interviews with university students. In order to analyse the texts and films on www.ams.se I have used tools from the modern rhetoric analysis. In the last part of my analysis I compared the results of the rhetoric analysis and the requests from the interviews to see if and how they match.Main Results: The respondents requested inspiration for their future work lives, and information that could de-dramatize the image of working. The texts on www.ams.seconsist mostly of facts, while the films made a slightly more emotional contribution to the image of the occupation. The films showing relaxed and satisfied people can be seen as a way to de-dramatize the image of working-life.

Aim: To describe perceptions about written and verbal information regarding diet and physical activity in women with breast cancer and to study possible differences between ages and perception. Method: A cross-sectional study was conducted and consisted of 57 women with breast cancer stages I-III who started adjuvant chemotherapy within a year (2007-2008). A questionnaire, regarding their perceptions about the written and verbal information they had received about diet and physical activity, was responded to three months following treatment completion. Between 67-93 % of the participants responded to the questions. The answers was analyzed with descriptive statistics and Mann Whitney U-test.

Föräldrar med barn som får diagnosen cancer hamnar i en livskris. Hela familjen drabbas av kaos. För att föräldrarna ska känna att de får stöd av sjuksköterskan, krävs att de får anpassad och lättillgänglig information om sitt barns sjukdom. Syftet med den här litteraturstudien är att belysa behovet av stöd, hjälp och information inom barncancersjukvården, ur både föräldrars och sjuksköterskors perspektiv. Både kvalitativa och kvantitativa artiklar användes.

During 2001-2002 a prototype, IMIS (Integrated Mobile Information System) was developed at BTH (Blekinge University of Technology) to demonstrate how mobile IT-systems can be used in healthcare. The prototype was based on the activity theory of Engeström. An ongoing project started in spring 2003. The purpose of the project is further development of IMIS with special focus in the diabetes healthcare. Participants in the project are scientists and students at BTH, ALMI Företagspartner, Blekinge FoU-enhet, Barndiabetesförbundet Blekinge, Blekinge Diabetesförening, Vårdcentralen Ronneby and Vårdcentralen Sölvesborg.

Ett av de största folkhälsoproblemen för både män och kvinnor är hjärt- kärlsjukdom. Varje år drabbas 26 000 personer och behöver vårdas på sjukhus. Idag är vårdtiden kort, ca 2-3 dagar och patienterna befinner sig ofta i chock efter sin hjärtinfarkt. Detta kan resultera i att de har svårt att ta till sig den information som ges. Patienterna behöver få insikt i att hjärt- kärlsjukdom är en kronisk sjukdom och vilka livsstilsförändringar som bör göras för att minska risken för att drabbas av ny hjärtinfarkt.

En kvalitativ studie om hur personer som drabbats av stroke upplever individuellt anpassad information under vårdtiden..
