Vid dysfagi är pneumoni en vanlig komplikation som ger ökade kostnader för vården, ett ökat lidande för patienter samt leder till fler dödsfall. Omvårdnadsåtgärder som minskar risken för pneumoni är därför av betydelse att identifiera. Syftet med denna litteraturstudie var att i vetenskapliga artiklar identifiera omvårdnadsåtgärder sjuksköterskan kan tillämpa som minskar risken för pneumoni vid dysfagi. I tio vetenskapliga artiklar utlästes sex kategorier via databearbetning. I resultatet identifierades att vinkeln på ryggen i sittande läge var viktigt att ta hänsyn till, användningen av vätskor med låg viskositet hade en förebyggande effekt och en intervention där hakan fälldes ner mot bröstet vid sväljning skyddade mot aspiration.

Psykisk ohälsa är idag den främsta anledningen till längre sjukskrivningar, något som leder till negativa konsekvenser för både individ och samhälle. Internetbaserad behandling med kognitiv beteendeterapi har visat sig effektivt vid många former av psykisk ohälsa men det saknas kunskap om dessa behandlingsmetoders effekt vad gäller att främja arbetsförmåga och minska sjukskrivningstid. Studiens syfte var att undersöka om en vägledd individanpassad internetbaserad KBT-behandling kunde minska psykisk ohälsa och förbättra arbetsförmåga för deltagare (n=10) med både psykisk ohälsa och nedsatt arbetsförmåga. Behandlingen sträckte sig över 10 veckor och testades i en öppen okontrollerad studie. Resultatet gav ett visst stöd för att interventionen kan minska psykisk ohälsa men inget stöd för att interventionen ökade den globala funktionsnivån eller arbetsförmågan.
