Background:A trauma is a potential life threatening state which demands special resources and optimal care. Trauma doesn't just mean physical violence against the body, it can also put the patient in a psychological crisis. The trauma care in the emergency department is a short and intensive assessment between the patient and the emergency staff, where there is a risk that the patient may feel exposed and uncomfortable. For the nurse to be able to provide security and meet the patients' needs of well-being during the trauma care, the nurse has to try to understand the patients' needs and experiences. Aim: The aim of this study was to illuminate the patient's experiences during trauma care in the emergency department.

Introduction: The conversation is one of the main components of the nursing process in psychiatric care. The preunderstanding on this research field is described based on theoretical concepts that together form the basis for understanding the study; nurse's role in psychiatric care, communication and caring relationship, as well as theories of the caring conversation and person-centered care. Research on the caring conversation as a theory and how it is experienced by patients existed, however, no research from the nurse's perspective was found.Aim: The aim of the study was to describe nurses' experiences of the caring conversation with patients in psychiatric open care units.Method: Qualitative research interviews were conducted with six nurses working in outpatient psychiatric care in the west region in Sweden. The interviews were recorded, transcribed and then analyzed according to the qualitative content analysis as described by Graneheim and Lundman (2004).Results: Four categories with related subcategories were distinguished throughout the analysis: The caring conversation, The importance of the care plan, Limitations and Caring based on the patients narrative.Discussion: An uncertainty about what caring conversation is and what it should contain creates uncertainty in the nurse's work. This results in a need for training for the individual nurse and the further research to obtain evidence for the importance of conversation in caring work.

The purpose of this study was to understand how the concept of quality as an idea was spread to and translated in municipal elderly care. A central question was: How does literature, policy documents and key people describe the function and meaning of the concept of quality? The method of analysis was a qualitative case study with a critical discourse. The theoretical framework of the study is mainly what is known as institutional theory and a line of thought describing how ideas are transferred and spread. The theoretical focus is on how original ideas are interpreted and why they gain a foothold in new contexts.

Energy efficiency is important both to reduce costs and to reduce greenhouse gas in the atmosphere. In Sweden 40 percent of the energy consumption is related to the buildings sector. Hospitals are complex buildings with different activities in the same building, which requires flexible technical systems for ventilation, heating and lightning. A quarter of the total energy consumption in Swedish hospitals is related to user activities in the hospitals. Therefore it is not only important to work with operational optimization but also to change user activities, to reduce energy consumption.The objective of this thesis was to examine the user-related energy efficiency work at two care units, at the central hospital in Sundsvall within Västernorrlands County.

This essay discusses children?s rights and control and system of rules in HVB-homes that provide treatment for adolescences with drug abuse prob­lems or criminal behavior. The results of this study are based on interviews with four persons working in managerial positions on different HVB-homes and shows the difficulties of having a children?s rights perspective in a con­text where a higher level of control is necessary to protect the best interest of the child. The study suggests that the question of balance between children?s right and the need for controlling system of rules needs to be fur­ther dis­cussed to improve, and as far as possible guarantee that these adoles­cence receive best possible care and do not suffer unfair restrictions on liber­ties..

Denna kvalitativa studie har till syfte att belysa om en per definition kollektivistisk institution som kyrkan klarar av att motstå det moderna samhällets individualistiska påtryck. För att kunna synliggöra detta har sju djupintervjuer genomförts med verksamma präster inom Svenska kyrkan med fokus på hur de upplever sin vardag i dagens tjänstebetonade samhälle. Studien stärker att Durkheims kollektivistiska samhälle till stor del har försvunnit i Sverige till förmån för det individualistiska samhället. Uppsatsen illustrerar följaktligen att även en institution som inte borde märka av individualisering och tjänstesamhället präglas av dessa processer. Utifrån respondenternas resonemang kring hur de upplever att gemen man ser på Svenska kyrkan visar resultatet att kyrkan präglas av rådande samhällslogik på flera plan och tvingas anpassa sig till denna. Svenska kyrkan utgör idag en aktör på en konkurrensutsatt marknad vilket medför att det individuella behovet och marknadsanpassning står i fokus.

The elderly care is an area of great importance to women. Women are more often in need of elderly care; they work with the service and provide a majority of the informal service. Research shows that managers? work-related prerequisites are significantly different between the male dominated technical administration and the female dominated care and educational administration. Studies also show that what the highest managerial organisation gives priority to, often permeate the whole organisation.

The aim of this study is to become aware of how the children at the after-school care perceive the adults at after-school care.

Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att studera vad som finns på väggarna samt hur institutionen synliggörs. Vidare är syftet att undersöka pedagogernas syn på hur väggarna används i verksamheten. Vid en genomgång av forskning framkom att det finns många studier kring förskolans miljö. Genomgången visade vidare att väggarna nämns i forskning om pedagogisk dokumentation. Det finns emellertid inte något direkt fokus på väggarna i dessa studier. De Jong (2010) menar att det inte finns mycket forskning kring miljöns påverkan på verksamhetens resultat. Vi diskuterar förskolan som institution och analyserar empirin med hjälp av följande begrepp; förskolan som institution, handlingserbjudande, det önskvärda förskolebarnet samt kommunikation.

Aim: Compare occurrences of first-time-events reported by mothers and fathers with children at high tech NICU according to kangaroo-mother-care method in two university hospitals. Method: Descriptive, quantitative design. Fourty-five couples of parents, with premature children born and cared for at university hospitals in Uppsala or Örebro, answered questionnaires about first-time-events: interaction-events, measures-of-care-events and sleeping-place-events. Results: All differences regarding the children?s age at first-time-events showed Uppsala-children to be younger than Örebro-children. Interaction-events were reported first in children?s lives, measures-of-care-events and sleeping-place-events later.

I mitt konstnärskap förhåller jag mig till speciella fenomen som upptar mitt engagemang och som jag relaterar till i mitt arbete. För mig har begreppen; Makt, Familj och Institution, varit särskilt viktiga och jag betraktar dem som mina huvudteman och har valt att skriva om dem i dessa grupperingar;Institution ? Makt ? ArkitekturInstitution ? Makt ? FamiljMakt ? TeckningJag kommer förklara närmare hur jag ser på dem och visa på hur de samverkar.Jag utgår från mitt konstnärskap och kommer beskriva hur det och min arbetsprocess ser ut samt beskriva tidigare verk och pågående examensarbete. I kapitlet om mina verk framgår det att tematiken jag nämnt ovan genomsyrat dem alla.Jag kommer ta upp sånt som betyder mycket för mig, och vad jag tar spjärn emot i tematik liksom i arbetsprocess.För mig handlar mitt arbete om att hitta den berättelse jag söker och låta mig föras genom konsten av mitt eget undersökande. Att utmana mina föreställningar och att låta dem möta det jag fascineras av.
